Photo gallery lost after 2.2 update

Hi all! I received the 2.2 upgrade for my Moto DROID on 8/16. Everything seemed to be fine until the next day... my photo gallery of about 50 pics were missing!! I installed Astro from the market and I can see the 'files' but can't seem to figure out how to recover them. Found something on a different forum but was being told to "select them all and click delete". I realize I'm a techno-tard, but wouldn't 'deleting them' actually do just that?! PLEASE, PLEASE! Can anyone help?!
Thanks!

I have provided some information below that may be helpful in recovering the pictures on your device. You do not want to delete them as this may permanently remove them from the device.
Plug the Motorola Droid into your computer using the USB cable that came with your device. Once it is connected to (both your phone and computer), put it into the Mass Storage mode. I have provided that step in the article below: http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=27198
2.      Once the Mass Storage mode is enabled, it will create a drive for you to access on your computer.
3.      The photos should be in the DCIM folder under Camera. (***If they were downloaded images, they would be under the Download folder)
4.      Try accessing the files on your computer to see if they come up. (***If they do, try pulling them into a file on your computer (to ensure you have them physically). I would also backup anything else on the card that you could possible lose at this point.
5.      If the files show up, but you cannot view them, I would recommend removing and reinserting the SD card on the device. To complete this step, I have provided the instructions below:
****First unplug the device from the USB cable, and unmount the SD card. Select Menu > SD card & phone storage > Unmount SD card. Then follow the step below
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=26488&p=-1
****Once the SD card is out, it may be a good idea to soft reset the device as well. I have provided the article for that below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=26596&p=-1
Insert the card and try to access the pictures once again. ***If it fails once again, and if you had backed up all of your files, I would recommend reformatting the card. *** This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data at this point if you have not done so already.
To complete the format, please follow the instruction below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=26553&p=-1
I hope this helps!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your phone doesn't do mirroring, only the 4S will do that. It only does basic AirPlay.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

Can't find My Photo Stream album after iOS 8 update

Can't find My Photo Stream album after iOS 8 update. Is anyone else having this problem.

That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Unable to import photos in Aperture after iPhoto last update 9.6.1

Hi,
I have no clue if it's related, but after iPhoto last update to 9.6.1, I'm no more able to import photos in Aperture from my Pentax K-50.
Spinning wheel and after that, I get the message that no pictures were imported.
Everything was going fine until that iPhoto update!
Sometimes, it will import 1 picture and then Aperture will crash, saying that it was impossible to import pictures.
I formatted my SD card, but same result.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

Lost photos / camera roll after restore and update.

As the title says , I recently had to restore my iphone 3gs due to having problems with MAIL (problem fixed now.) but after doing a full backup and restore on the phone and update to the iOS 4 ( i think>) , I lost all of the photos that I had in the camera roll album folder , now I have loads of photos there that I do not want to loose ! I know there should be a way of getting them back from the backup but how ? Plus to prove even more that they are still there somwhere , when I connect it to the iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) , under the yellow section bar it shows there are 315 (1.26 gb) photos on my device...but when I disconnect it and go into the album , there are 0 ! Now I have been reading about this online and people say that you basically take the images off your pc and sync them back onto the phone...but I havent got them saved on my pc anywhere...so where are they? PLEASE HELP me out on this one ,
thank you in advance.

The only place they may be is in a previous backup from before the restore. No Apple tool that I know of accesses these files within the backup file. There are reportedly some 3rd party tools that can get to the photos imbeded in the backup. The other option is to restore the old backup and then import the camera roll via iphoto or some other tool.
If you have no copy of the old backup, I think you are out of luck.
As you know by now, the iPhone's camera roll is treated as a digital camera, not as part of the sync.
For the second post, if you'd like Apple to add the import to the sync process, you can request that via the www.apple.com/feedback web site.
Thanks.

Photo viewer lost after firmware update

hi
im using nokia 6303i classic and recently updated my firmware 6.60 to 7.10 and i lost all the applciations including photo viewer, calculator, converter, opera mini and all others which are built in phone memory. kindly help me, if anyone can send me the backup?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As previously stated it simply could be a faulty installation. All you need to do is to reinstall it. For the missing applications, go to getjar.com and choose from the different calculators, converters, photoviewers and other apps available for your phone. Just install new ones.

Music lost after IOS 8 update

I have & iphone 5 & backed it up to my PC before updating to IOS 8. Now I have lost most of my music & audio books & can't restore to an earlier backup as they have all gone after the update was done. Also most music & books purchased in Itunes has also gone so it is like I never purchased them. What do I do now? Can I go back to IOS 7 by wiping my phone as I have a laptop with backups (and all my music and audiobooks) on it? All backups also went when my manager upgraded his iphone 5 to IOS 8 on a separate PC.

Music and other media are not part of the backup at all. You can re-sync media from the iTunes library on your computer. Music purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded at no charge. Audio books will need to be re-purchased if you did not back them up.
You can not downgrade to an earlier version of iOS and even if you could, it wouldn't change anything.

Java lost after crash while updating, can't seem to get it back

hi,
while running software update, my computer crashed and i seem to have lost java.
i've dowloaded a number of jse releases.
most of them didn't work, one did:
java15release1
however, when trying to install:
j2se50 release 1-5, i got the alert
"unable to locate java on this volume" (yes it's the right volume)
i got these errors before and after the succesfull install.
i tried renstalling that one, but it doesn't help.
java is unrecognized in terminal, max-msp (a music app) and the sun's test site crashed firefox.
so, would be nice if anyone could help, i tried some things i found by searching, but they came down to what i had tried already.
pity, was just about to take on java programming...
btw i have the developers tools installed if that might matter.
thanks in advance

Non-Library Synced music lost after latest iTunes update. Help!

I downloaded/update to the latest itunes which caused my phone to be reset to its factory settings. Although my contacts, photos and apps ect. were recovered, my music was not. I had a lot of music (2500+) on my phone which was however not synced to my itunes library as most of it was purchased from other sources. They were all normal MP3 files but now I don't know how to get them back! Surely iTunes couldnt have just wiped all of my music, could it? Please please please help me!

If you have content that is on the iPhone but not on the computer then Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has useful tips. If it has now gone from the iPhone too then you can still recover your iTunes purchases.
What do you see if you drill down into the Mobile Applications and Music folders inside iTunes Media? Are you certain the content has been deleted?
If you've not done too much with the drive since things went wrong, then an undelete tool might recover some of the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from within the media folder that looks recoverable.
While it is understandable that you blame Apple & iTunes for losing the media you could have just as easily turned on your computer to find the entire drive fried. You need to be prepared for such by backing up all your important data to at least one secondary independent location.

Music On Ipod lost after latest Itunes Update...

I just updated to the new Itunes software, and after plugging in my Ipod Touch to add some new content to my playlist that I had just purchased from the Itunes store. Itunes froze up and would not respond. When I finally got it running again, all the music that was on my Ipod, (over 2000 songs) were no where to be found, I said I had no content. When I plug the Ipod into Itunes on the computer, it shows all of my music, but will not show up on the Ipod. Any Ideas Mr. Jobs???

27" iMac i7, two finger slide funcionality lost after the software update

I have the latest 27" iMac bought on late December.
However, after installing the Apple's official software update, the two finger slide functionality on the Magic mouse got lost. The only remedy appears to be restarting the iMac.
Has anyone experienced the same?

Note 3 Photos/Gallery broken after Android 4.4.4 VVRUDNJ6 install

Verizon pushed Android 4.4.4 VVRUDNJ6 onto my Note 3 last night. Now Skype doesnt work (fixed after reinstall). Verizon Security doesnt work (dont know how to reinstall). Worst, all photos in Gallery are unviewable. The camera works, but cant load neither old or new pics to view on the phone. The pics are seen in the Files. Problem exists for photos stored on phone and card. Music stored on card is not messed up. And movies stored on card can be watched, but the thumbnail pics are not loadable/seen. This is horrible before the holidays when you want to take many pictures. What is the fix, Verizon?!

Thank you for your feedback. Samsung has provided the following information after an investigation.
The best option to revert you photo viewing experience is to restore your device using a personal computer with the Software Repair Assistant tool and preserving your data in the process.
Alternatively you can remove corporate email account and then decrypt the device which will fix the issue. Then encrypt the device again if necessary (if re-adding corporate account)
Steps to Remove corporate email:
-Settings > Accounts > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync > select the corporate account > select option menu > remove account
Steps to decrypt the device
- Settings > Security > Decrypt phone (you must have 80% or above battery charged)
