My phone has been restored using iTunes.  All of my previous photo are downloaded. I'm unable to delete the photos from the phone - no trash bin.  It has utilized all my storage and I'm unable to use any of my apps.

Hello there, Jeanne2919.
There is a great Knowledge Base article that is right up your alley:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Specifically this section:
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
or
Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Pedro D.

  • My PC has been restored to factory settings some of my photos are in a album on my iphone only how can i get them back onto my pc

    I have had to restore my PC to factory settings and didnt back up all of my photos but they are in seperate albums on my iphone 4 how can i get them back onto my pc many thaks johnmall

    You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
    First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
    Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
    For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

  • IN TROUBLE! Phone has been restored, lost everything - forgotten Apple ID and Password!!! HELP

    IM IN TROUBLE! Phone has been restored, lost everything - forgotten Apple ID and Password!!! HELP

    As for forgetting your Apple ID, head to If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support  and follow those instructions.
    As for those things you lost, well that's your own fault for not syncing to iCloud or your computer. You can re download most previously downloaded items once you log into your Apple account in iTunes or the AppStore.

  • I lost my iPhone recently. It has since disappeared from support profile. Does this suggest that the phone has been restored and synced with another account?

  • My new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days.  I do not have all my apps or music yet

    my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days.  I do not have all my apps or music yet.  How do I fix it?

    Hello Bernharp, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting. 
    This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
    If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:
    If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support
    Sincerely,

  • Why is my iphone 4 suddenly not working after being forced to "restore to iTunes" and automatic update to iOs7. Phone has been restored, reset and recovered. Will not activate to server. I need a new phone Apple!!

    I heard about all the problems with the new iOs 7 update but also heard Apple would force me to do it. I tried to update but didn't have enough space. Had to delete ALOT of my apps and still not enough space. Phone was working perfectly fine and message pops up that "I will not have any service until I restore to iTunes. I plug into laptop to restore and it forces me to update to iOs7. Takes 3 hours. It updates but phone doesn't restore. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips:reset to factory settings, recover etc. Got a new SIM card because it said I don't have one but I do. Apple support wouldn't help me because I was out of warranty, and said I would have to pay. Went to the Apple store and they couldn't fix it and said "it's a hardware issue" that will cost me $170.00+.  I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW iO7 FRIED MY PHONE'S HARDWARE. The phone is on the HELLO stage and keeps searching but will not activate to server- it's temporarily unavailable. Have tried multiple times.I have a 3 year contract with Rogers and the phone is less than 2 years old. Apple needs to take responsibility for crashing my phone. I NEED A FREE NEW PHONE!!!

    Restore it to factory settings, then set it up from your back up. Did this last year when I got my new iPod, and it worked. I have no idea why syncing OTA can sometimes glitch, but hopefully this will help.

  • My phone has been restoring since yesterday at 5 pm, its now the next day at 8 am. what do I do?

    I have an Iphone for and still have ios 6. For the past couple of days  icannot Imessage, it keeps saying "waiting for activation". I alsoo had a ridiculous amount of "other" space on my phone.
    Well I took it to the apple store and the guy restored my phone which seemed to fix all my problems, but I still cannot imessage unless connected to wifi and my phone is still restoring. I tried plugging it to my computer and itunes wont let me restore it.Plus the messages won't send from my number, only my email. I can see my number as an option but I cant click on it.
    1) How can I get this to restore faster? Or how much longer will this take?
    2) How can I immessage again?
    3) How can I get my phone to send messages from my number and not my email?

    I didn't know you have an MBP. It doesn't have antivirus unless you added it, and the firewall is off by default. And iTunes on a Mac knows how to get around it. It's beginning to look like a hardware problem. Do you have another computer you can try to restore it with? Or an Apple store where you can make a genius appointment?
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4). If you don't you should get a warning, so you probably do, but worth checking. You can try reinstalling iTunes; as it's a Mac you can just download and install over the old one.
    What version of OS X? You need at least 10.5.4.
    I asked about TinyUmbrella, but let's check anyway. Using textedit, open the file /etc/hosts. You may have to enter the file name directly, as it's hidden and you may not be able to browse to it. It should look like this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1          localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0          localhost
    If it has any other lines, especially lines that contains gs.apple.com, delete those lines and save the file. The Update should then work. I doubt that this is the problem, but we've tried all of the standard ways to fix it.

  • My phone has been restored to default

    When attempting to download music from iTunes onto phone, my phone was wiped clean of photos and numbers.  Any idea how to restore if phone has never been backed up?

    The video needs to be converted into the correct resolution and framerate otherwise it won't play.
    Try QCIF resolution and 15 fps first. Use a bitrate of 350 kbps or so. Ensure the codec is h263 or MPEG-4 but not H264.
    Once that works, then try H264 codec, same resolution but check that it's h264 baseline profile. Then if it works you can try QVGA resolution.
    Try ANYVIDEOCONVERTER see if that works better. 
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Downloaded the iOS 7 and my phone has been showing the iTunes icon and charger for the last 7 hours.  What to do?, Downloaded the iOS 7 and my phone has been showing the iTunes icon and charger for the last 7 hours.  What to do?

    Downloaded late set iOS 7 update and it's been just showing the iTunes icon and charger indicator with arrow for the last 7 hours, is this normal?  How long before phone reboots

    That means something went wrong with the update and the phone is in recovery mode.
    Connect it to your computer and use iTunes to restore it.

  • Ipod classic says it has been restored by itunes but will not get out of recovery mode

    Hello, about a week ago my ipod classic 120gb shut off unexpectedly and gave me the big red X, telling me to restore. I connected it to itunes (on a mac) and attempted to restore, but it kept on giving me error message 1439. I kind of gave up, but then randomely today when i tried to restore it, it gave me the affirmative that the ipod was restored to factory settings and would restart. however, when it restarted, it was still in disk mode, and the message on my computer was that it has detected an ipod in recovery mode that needs to be restored! i then restored it again, and again it gave me the message that it was successfully restored, however when I restored it again it told me that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored again. anyone know how i can get it out of disk mode so that when it finally restores on itunes it can restart in normal mode?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 Trying to update to iOS7. Update was successful, but needed to do a few things next. Went through steps, then phone states update iCloud settings. Phone has been trying to update all night and today without success. Is there anything I can do?

    Trying to update to iOS7. Update successful except a few more things to do. Now it is in "updating iCloud settings" and has been updating all night and day. Do not understand why it is taking so long? Any suggestions?

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to restore using itunes but it ends with a message saying there was an error and couldnt be restored

    hi  desperately need help. my iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode... when i try and do the restore via itunes it goes through the motions but when it gets to the end it tells me there was an error and it couldnt be restored...  originally it was an ex contract phone that i had opened to orange from vodafone.. it was fine until i tried to do the ios 6 update

    There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

  • HT201269 I backed my old iphone 5 up to the cloud but my apps/music/photos are not on my new phone?

    I have backed up my iphone 5 on the cloud and all my apps/music/mail is not on my new iphone 5s?

    Email is not included with the backup, and the same for the actual apps and music. A record of the apps and music is included which must be re-downloaded again which takes time depending on how many apps and music and the type of internet connection at the time.
    Are all apps and music in your iTunes library on your computer? If so, transferring the content from there via the iTunes sync process will be faster.

  • Trying to update to 2.0.2 iTunes wont recognise phone has been restored

    I decided to take the risk and update to 2.0.2 the day before yesterday and it stopped half way with an error. My phone was then stuck on the connect to itunes screen with iTunes refusing to recognise the phone.
    I did a DFU restore as thats the only thing left to try and after 6 hours and after appearing like it had totally crashed on the iphone it is restored and the iphone appears to be both updated to 2.0.2 and everythings on there including all my settings...
    The problem is when I plug it into iTunes it asks me if I want to set it up as a new phone or restore it from the backup (which is now dated after the restore was finished)..
    Ive gone through this now 3 times and no matter what it just keep going back to that screen as if it never restored the phone. How do I get itunes to recognise the phone and let me put my songs, etc. back on?
    After having been plagued with problems with apps crashing and having my phone brick itself daily I'm really not getting a good impression of the new phone and I personally don't recommend you buy one if your thinking about it:

    I'm in the same boat.
    my 3G iPhone is ******* me off too.
    It began when I couldn't update the photos due to an error message that would appear when I attempted to sync. So I decided to restore the phone to factory settings, thinking that would fix the problem. Nope. Now my phone is even worse. After restoring, the phone (in iTunes) goes straight to the "Set Up Your iPhone" screen. I've restored it three times, and can't get past this screen in iTunes. This means no music, media, or apps can be added to my phone. what a pain in the ***.
    I'm going to try setting it up as a new phone, and if that doesn't work, I guess my next stop is the Apple store.
