No photos on icloud! help! lost all baby photos.

hello, i've been paying £28 a year to icloud for extra storage thinking that i would store my photos as they are precious ones of my babies first year.
i managed to lose my phone and wasn't able to recover it so bought a new handset and plugged it in thinking all my photos would come back. they didn't.
so i thought it might be that i had to go onto icloud to see them and manually bring them back (by dragging or updating or something) i've just been on icloud for the first time properly and i don't have a photo icon. have i lost all my precious photos forever? or are they somewhere else i don't know about. forgive me for asking but i'm a bit of a technophobe and hoping someone can help me. thank you.
ps the phone i had was a 4s and i now have a 4.

I cloud does only backup photos and videos of your camera roll (see also: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859). So if you had your photos only stored in the camera roll and made a backup, then you could recover them if you reset your device and choose to restore it from an existing backup. If you also used Photo Stream, then probably some of your photos could also be recovered by turning on Photo Stream again (Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream) > Then check your Photo Stream by opening the photos app.

I updated my iphone 4s to get iclouds and lost all my contacts. When I tried to sync my phone to itunes, it said I needed to update my itunes for it to work on my phone. There was no place to update so I installed itunes again. Still no contacts !!!! I've tried all the troubleshooting and still can't get them. They are not in www.icloud.com either. Help!!!!!!

iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

Help - lost all my work in pages!

When I updated my pages software last week it seems to have reverted back to older versions of documents.
Those older versions seem to have automatically uploaded to iCloud and so I now have lost all the work I did on them in the
Last week.
Is there anyway I can go to iCloud and access prior versions of documents. Ie view iCloud as it was on a certain date?
Alternatively is there a deleted folders bin in pages where perhaps I moved it to by mistake.
Huge amount of work lost!!

After two hours and 3402 words Pages decided to simply stop responding to key strokes - no warning, work was saved every 250 word - give or take.
After exhausting all menus in pages I terminated the app and restarted it.
The document, at least 1602 words of it, was there. The other 1600 words were gone.
1) there was no warning some sort of fatal limit was being approached.
2) only part of the work - possibly irreproduceable- was recovered
3) because this was on an airplane there was no connection to iCloud.
4) there does not seem to be any documentation available to help when there is no Internet connection
I have no confidence that Pages in iPad is reliable enough to do any critical or time sensitive work. So far it has cost me (unrecoverable ) several hours of valuable work.

Help, lost all the songs on my iPod when checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window.

Help, I lost all the songs on my iPod when I deleted a few songs from my iTunes Library, checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window, and then tried to Autofill. Note that I do not purchase songs from iTunes, but rather I rip songs off my own cd's and then transfer the mp3 files to iTunes. And after I transfer mp3 files from my pc to iTunes and then Autofill, I generally delete those files from my pc.
I can still see the songs in my iTunes Library, but not on my iPod. Is there a way that I can salvage them and get them back on my iPod?
Thanks in advance.

Well you will have to wait to connect you ipod to the orignal computer and it will put all your songs back on to it.

Help-lost all my icons at bottom of screen

I hit something and I lost all my icons. I don't know if that is what they are called really. The little pictures at the bottom of your comp. when you turn it on. They help you get to itunes, iphoto, firefox, ect,. Does anyone have any idea how I get them back? I was trying to force quit when I lost them, if that helps. Thanks.

Open the Dock pane of System Preferences and turn off the option to show or hide the Dock automatically; one of the other settings affects where the Dock appears, which should be set to the bottom. If the issue cannot be fixed from System Preferences, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/ as the folder's location, and double-click the item named Dock there.

I recently changed from MobileMe to Icloud and lost all of my Calendar events

hello all i recently changed from MobileMe to Icloud and have lost all of my Calendar events, is there a way to recover these events and if so HOW???
my work day is shot lol

At the top it does say All contacts, when I select that I only get my Exchange contacts. On the Groups page I have All Contacts, then Exchange and at the bottom All iCloud. If I select All icloud I only see one contact, mine?!
I do not see any list with my [email protected] My contacts were initially on MobileMe, when I got my iPhone 4 I transfered them to the phone so they were stored on both. I was synching with my me.com account and when I was on iCloud the contacts were nowhere to be found.
I just spoke to an Apple "genius", they told me I probably messed up the backup on outlook, my contacts are lost forever. Starting to wonder why I chose Mac, in this case I got done just like with Microsoft!!

I did the latest software update and added iCloud and lost all my contacts on my phone. How to I recover all of my contacts?

after updating the software and configuring iCloud onto my phone and PC I notice ALL off my contacts were no longer on my phone. How do I retreive my contacts? Thank you!!

Really need help - Lost All iTunes Files! I don't want to lose everything!

I moved recently and when I replugged my computer, all my iTunes songs were lost. I still have the songs on my ipod mini and I'm not daring to plug it in. I really want to restore my files.
I figure that I need to do this as if I got a new computer and re-install it. However, I am told that ipods are a one way stream from computer to ipod only and not vice versa. I'm hoping someone can help me because I have bought songs that will be lost too. If I didn't have the purchased songs, I wouldn't mind re-importing all 86 CDs of mine (although it would be a pain).
Please help me ASAP. My CD collection is growing fast and I have a very long bus ride.
Thanks.

Perhaps you may still have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes or the PC.
Do a thorough search of your PC using the tips below:
First - Make sure that you enable your Windows Explorer to view 'Hidden' files:
- Open Windows Explorer
- Select 'My Computer'
- On the main Windows Explorer menu: Tools=>Folder Options=>'View' tab
- In 'Advanced Setting' --> Files and Folders --> Hidden files and folders:
-- Select 'Show hidden files and folders’
- Click 'Apply to All Folders'
- Click 'OK'
Then check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders).
Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, ‘Restore’ it back to it’s original spot.
Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3, OR with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
Do all the above before you decide that your music files have been completely erased from your hard drive.
If you can locate the music files/folders, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one of these:
If you have a backup iTunes database file available....
1. --- Close iTunes. If you have a backup (or previous version) of the ‘iTunes Library’itl’ database file, then place a copy of that file in the ‘...\My Music\iTunes’ folder (or wherever the current, incomplete file resides).
If no backup ITL file exists….
2a. --- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isn’t already). Click OK to save that setting.
Then....
2b. --- In iTunes choose: File==>’Add Folder to Library’ & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
Without the ITL file, re-‘Adding’ the music files to the Library will lose you the Ratings, Play Counts, Date Added and Last Played attributes, as well as your Playlists. No real way to recover them if you haven’t made prior backups. Something to consider for the future....
If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
iPodRip Software
PodUtil Software
XPlay (Software For Cross-Platform Functionality & Music Recovery)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

Help, Lost all my contacts after not purchasing MobileMe

I tried Mobile Me but did not use it very often so I did no subscribe to it. I deleted the Mobile Me email account since it would not sync anymore. Now all my contacts and appointments are gone. I have not synced my phone with my PC since I am afraid I will loose the contacts stored on my PC. I need to restore my contacts for work purposes and I am totally lost. Help would be greatly appreciated.

If your contacts are on your computer then enable syncing of contacts and/or calendars on the info tab and sync them back to your iPhone.

Merged my Contacts with iCloud and lost all new contacts

Hi all,
Mac OSX Lion. I made a bunch of new groups on my (desktop computer) contacts book, as I went through the contacts book, I reviewed and updated contact info for nearly a thousand contacts. I spent literally hours parsing out my client contacts into three client contact groups that I made.
I realized that I had never turned on iCloud syncing in the iCloud preferences. I turned on the Contacts Syncing option in the iCloud pref and was asked if I want to Merge my local contacts with iCloud. I said Yes. After the Merge was finished, the three new groups that I made had vanished, and all of the contacts that I had meticulously updated had gone back to their previous state.
Needless to say, this is really upsetting. Anyone else seen this problem? Any magic button I can press to bring back all of my hard work?
For what it is worth, after this fiasco, I decided to see if iCloud was working properly, created a few test contacts on my iPad, desktop computer, and notebook... all three worked perfectly by instantly sharing the info to each other.
The main problem appears to have been the "Merge" when I turned iCloud syncing on after having created a lot of new contact info on my desktop computer.

Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

ICloud transition lost all email access

Hi,
I have read a few people are having issues with .mac / .me email once moved over to iCloud. Since my move everything is working fine, except email; this has not been working on Macbook, iPad & iPhone for 3 days now, it's now getting unbearable and I'm ready to throw all devices in the bin unless I know this is going to be fixed! (I'm in the middle of an overseas house sale with everythng on email!)
Has anybody else had no email access for this amount of time and is it just a case of wait even longer?
The main problem seems to be with p99-imap.mail.com.
Any suggestions before I unplug and put to the bin......
Thanks,
Nick

I have the same problem. For at least a day now, no email. I was travelling so don't know how long this has been going on. On top of that, my wife and daughter (on the same family account) have no problems. I have contacted Apple, they are reorganising my mailbox but that can take 24 hours they said.
I am a bit sad as well, it has worked for a few days since I migrated it from me to iCloud, but it is unacceptable to be without email for so long time, a useless service and it can cost us all a lot. I have been thinking to reroute all my personal email via gmail (I have a own website/email account that I can reroute to any other adress), since it seems that is working fine for ever. But what stops me is that my wife and daughter have no problems.
I have an appointment with a Genius, next thursday, and I wait till that 'rendez-vous' to decide whether to reroute my mail to gmail.
