My photos are missing/hidden after i updated to ios 6
i have an ipod touch that had a cracked screen for several months so i didn't use it until i fixed it. after about 4 months i charged it and cut it back on to find that it was disabled and i had to wait 731 minutes before i could put in my passcode. i wanted to see if i can undisable it so i would not have to wait so long. so i connected it to itunes and it gave me the option to Update only without restoring it so i can retrieve my pictures, music, ect. im not sure when icloud came out but i know it wasnt on my ipod's os (i think i updated it from 4.2.1). after i updated it (sucessful the first time) i had ios 6. i typed in my passcode i somehow miraculously remembered and went through the new prompts. i got to the homescreen, my 8 apps were still there, music was all still there, but my camera roll contained no pictures in it. i went to Settings>General>About and saw i only had 8 apps/370 songs/0 photos/0 videos with only 388mb left on my 8gb itouch. the thing is everything is small and was barely 2gb total but when i connected to itunes there was a large amount of data under the "Other" yellow bar. Leading me to the conclusion that my 1000+ pictures and videos are hidden. i set up an icloud and under my manage storage tab it says i have a camera roll consisting of 2.9GB of pictures and videos but i dont know how to get to them...
Please Help...
-will backing everything up save my photos? because they're not appearing in my photostream
-is there also a way into my ipod using like Iexplorer or IFunbox to get them and save them to my computer and if so how would i get to them
-the ipod doesnt show under "my computer" and im not getting the import option to transfer them
Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

P.S I'm sorry for the late reply

Safari bookmarks are missing when ipad mini updated to ios 8.0
Safari book marks missing when ipad updated to ios 8.0
Sure, no problem.
Before the IOS 8 update, Apple's offsite file storage system for iWork was called "iCloud". I had dozens of Numbers files stored on this system.
Under the new IOS/Yosemite regime, the offsite file storage system for iWork (and now all kinds of other files, too) is called "iCloud Drive".
When I upgraded my iPad Mini to IOS 8, I selected "Upgrade to iCloud Drive" instead of "Not Now" because I accepted the fact that I would only be able to access my iWork documents on my Mini and the iCloud web interface, but NOT my Macbook (running Mavericks).
But now it looks like my Numbers files were not migrated for some reason. They are not available on my iPad Mini or the iCloud browser interface.
I called my wife at home to have her boot up the MacBook and try to access a few important Numbers files. She was able to open them and save a copy of each of them to the Macbook's local hard drive. So I guess my most urgent problem has been contained (I think I may have access to my Numbers files on my laptop), but it is still an open question why all my Pages files migrated from (the old) "iCloud" to (the new) "iCloud Drive" and my Numbers files didn't.

Take pictures, but are not taken to save them in a photo album. This problem occurred after you update to ios 6.0.2. My phone is iPhone 5
That's corrected, they save to your camera roll.

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .
Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug. I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this. -
All my photos are missing in iphoto 4.0.3.
All the photos are missing in my iphoto 4.0.3. The files are on the side under source but the screen also stays blank in every file. What to do?
I had a similar situation with some of my photos, not all of them. During help from a genius at Apple an error occurred and we feared I might have lost my photos. When the problem was "fixed", the photos showed up as being taken the same day and no longer in the original order. In addition numerous photos were gone.
I'm told the photos still exist on the HDD but just can't be found by iPhoto. If this is the case how do I find them? Would I be able to do a search for all jpg files to do this?
On a side note: I've backed up my HDD to an external drive and I'm about to erase my HDD and update Panther to Tiger. When I move the user files back to the HDD I plan on consolidating them into one user.
Any insight is most appreciated. -
iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?
Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

After I updated to iOS 8, I noticed that while copying photos to my PC, I see photos being categorized into many folders now. I also found some system files in each of the folders containing photos (in the name of Local Disk). Is this usual?
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
why my iphone are not responding after i update the latest ios? and the screen displaying itunes icon
You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -
I noticed incoming calls do not have contact photos showing. Now all the contact photos are missing. This is very frustrating -- and I'm not sure how to recover. Please help!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos from back up will be added back once the restore process has completed, give it some time.
Meantime, don't be deleting your old back up. -
HT201302 How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software?
How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software? It is asking me to restore my iphone but I need to back it up first.
After? If you're being asked to restore you phone, and you didn't previously back it up, it's too late now. You can't back it up once it's in recovery mode.

Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7
Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7
It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted. -
My iphone 4s cant activate after i update the ios to 6.0.1, always shows this message " Your request couldn't be processed" we are sorry but there was an error processing your request, Please try again later........please someone help me???
It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.
Was it? -
After the update to ios 6.1.3, ipad 2, my notes in the app notes are gone, it is all empty.
my notes in the app notes , notizen, got lost after the update to ios 6.1.3.
where are they now?Restore from a backup - if the notes are in your backup. If you do not backup, the notes are most likely gone for good.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Also, make sure that you are in the correct Account in the Notes App. Tap on Accounts in the upper left corner and see if the notes are in another account.
You can try this as well, but the odds of this working probably are not that great, but it is harmless and worth a try.
Quit the Notes app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
All my old photos are missing from iPhoto on my Mac- any one have ideas on how to retrieve?
All my old photos are missing from iPhoto on my Mac- any one have ideas on how to retrieve?
Do you have a Time Machine backup or any backup of your Mac? Then you could try to restore from the backup.
If your photos are very important documents, you could also try data recovery software. Usually the trial versions are free, but if you want to safe the recovery photos you have to pay. Disk Drill works well to recover jPEG photos, see: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
It is still not obvious what might have happened to your iPhoto Library. Have you searched for different iPhoto Libraries?
You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search.
I learned this from Old Toad , see his post here:
Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of iPhoto libraries.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it. -
I imported photos from iPhoto library to Photo library instead of relinking the library and now approx. 9,000 photos are missing. How do I fix this?
Trash your Photos library and do it again (Hold down the option key while launching Photos and select your iPhoto library to open)
