Need help recovering photos on iCloud!!

I traded in my Iphone... I was unable to transfer my photos before factory reset.... I was told that I could somehow recover the photos from my iCloud. I logged into my iCloud; but there were not any pictures... There is NOTES, APPOINTMENTS, CALENDAR, and maybe REMINDERS? Does anyone know how to recover the old photos? Thank you for your time...

iCloud doesn't store your photos unless you back up your camera roll to it.

I need help recovering photos even if it's just the preview!?? Anyone with a solution?

I imported the photos from my camera directly into LR and saved to a folder on my desktop. Later when I came back to work on them they were available in preview but with the "?" symbol. I eventually found the file, named differently in my trash bin! I began celebrating too soon, because after I drug the images back to the empty folder on my desktop they disappeared AGAIN when I tried to re-import them into LR. Only this time they aren't in the trash OR on my desktop!! They simply disappeared and the only way I can see them is on the preview.
Please, please help! My clients have left the island and I cannot re-shoot.

there was a "glitch" when I tried to import them the second time and they disappeared. I actually watched the images appear and then the folder showed as empty again.
I had something similar happen one time - couldn't believe my eyes, shortly after restarting, photo being viewed simply disappeared from view, and from catalog... (my hands weren't even near the keyboard, so hard to imagine it being operator error). In my case, it was in recycle bin, so no big deal to re-import (I did lose all edit history, and some edits).
Anyway, if you want to report a bug, do so here:

And recover previews as last resort...

My whole catalogue was nearly lost due to a failed external hard drive. Professional help recovered photos but I can't find my smart tags. Is it possible they were lost on failed drive?

Hi,
In order to recover the tags/albums, etc, you need to have the catalog db. Since currently you only have images, the organization done in the older catalog is probably lost.
Which version of PSE you have and is there any chance, that you have access to catalog location (default is : %programdata%\adobe\elements organizer\catalogs on Windows and ~/library/app support/adobe/organizer/catalogs on MAC) ?
Thanks

Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am new to this but need help. Lion and iCloud have never worked on my desk top or MacBook Pro. Slow or Stop! Is there any way to fix the problem?

We need more information. I'm not sure what you mean by both Lion and iCloud have never worked.

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Recovering photos from iCloud after a hard drive crash

Can I recover photos from iCloud to a Mac? I know how to backup from iPhone, etc. But I have someone who's hdd crashed and there were not using Time Machine. They were using iCloud to what they think was backing up. Thanks guys.

You can recover any photos on the phone that were backed up to the iCloud via iTunes by connecting the phone to a Mac, log in to your iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane, launching iTunes, selecting your iPhone and restore the iPhone from the backup.

Replaced hard drive in compaq presario cq62, need help recovering it with out disks

Recently replaced the hard drive in my notebook due to failure of original. Need help recovering it without disks

If you are wanting to install the original copy of Windows it came with, you will need a set of recovery disks.
Otherwise, you can purchase a copy of Windows to install and download the appropriate drivers from http://goo.gl/hOm3. Just make sure the copy of Windows that is installed is at least the same family of Windows to ensure that drivers are available.
What is the exact model of the notebook and product number?
NOTE: Do not provide the serial number.

HELP - Need help with recovering photos from iCloud

This may be a simple question, but I've never had to do it before, so I am asking.
I have an iPhone 4S. It was backed up to iCloud yesterday before I had to swap my cracked screen phone for a new phone. How do I recover photos that were backed up yesterday? I am sure it is a couple easy steps, but can someone let me know what those might be to restore my phone from iCloud's backup yesterday?

Photos and videos from your camera roll are backed up to iCloud when you do an iCloud backup.
This article tells you how to restore an iCloud backup:

HT1766 Hello All- Need help retrieving photos/notes from iCloud. Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
I have backed up my iphone from the settings app on my iphone to my icloud acct and I am trying to retrieve my photos and notes. I do not see a place on my icloud home page to find these items. When it was MobileMe it had a photo area on the homepage. Since the change to iCloud I do not see a place...yet it says it backs up everything. So I am confused. I would hate to have to email myself hundreds of photos and notes. Please help- my phone is on it's last legs!
Thank you,
KT

If you are syncing Notes in Settings>iCloud you should find a Notes folder in Mail on icloud.com. Syncing photos requires turning on Photo Stream, but you won't see your photos on icloud.com even if you do. They are only synced to devices connected to your iCloud account with photo stream enabled. To enable iCloud (and Photo Stream on your computer see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

How to recover photos in iCloud/Photos on MacBook after my iPhone5 was stolen?

Hi, my iPhone 5 was stolen and I'm wondering if/how to best recover the photos from the device? I was able to pull up the photos in my iPad photo stream after the theft, but the photos then went blank, as if they disappeared or were being erased. I've since installed Yosemite on my MacBook and have only been able to recover photos that were physically backed up through an iTunes sync. I previously only had the 5GB iCloud storage, but have since upgraded to a larger storage account.
Is there any other information I can provide to help anyone help me sort this out?
Thank you!

If all of the fixes that Larry suggested fail give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Happy Holidays

Help Recover Photos in iPhoto6

While working in iphoto 6, my computer was accidently turned off resulting in iphoto crash. My photos are no longer accessable in iphoto, however, thumbs and albums are fine. I found all of the missing photos, about 15,000, in a file called "Recovered Photos" within the pictures folder. How do I reinstall and marry up the photos with the thumbs in the iphoto library? I need help......

Need help putting photos on my iPad

Trying to put scanned photos on my iPad. I have tried iTunes but under devices there is no photos to select. Need help.

Photos doesn't appear on the left-hand sidebar under Devices, it appears on the right-hand side in a similar way as for selecting and syncing music, apps etc
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos
