Photo restore from appletv?

I recently had to reformat the hard drive on my pc and I lost all of my photos. The photos, which I had shared with my appletv2, still appear on the appletv screen saver. Where are these photos being stored and how do I save them back to my pc?

Sorry, there is no mechanism for doing so.

IPhone 5s restored from 4s all but my photos and won't finish. Have tried reset and restore several times but always the same thing. Pat bottom of screen it shows downloading but no pictures transfer.

Have tried 4 times to reset, erase and restore but always the same result. Everything restores except my photos. When I go to photos at the bottom of the screen it says downloading but the pictures never transfer. Every time I turn my phone on it asks to continue restore but it never finishes. It won't let me upgrade to the latest iOS due to incomplete restoration.

How long has it been since you let the restore just happen? Sometimes photos are what takes the longest to bring back from an iCloud back up. I would recommend that you let it just keep restoring for about 2-3 days and see if more photos come back than what you're experiencing. Also make sure that you are connected to wifi as much as possible so that those photos can be downloaded faster. It is a waiting and being patient kind of thing. I did an iCloud restore from a backup that took 4 days to finish bringing down all my photos.

HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

My daughter accidentally restored her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. Her photos were all on camera roll so I believe should have been backed up, but none of them have been restored. Why?

My daughter accidentally reset her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. All her photos were on camera roll so I believe they should have automatically been backed up, but none have been restored. Why?

When she plugged in the ipod last night it backed up again so that now shows as the latest backup. No previous backups are listed so I do not seem to have the option to rerun the old one. She had many pictures on the camera roll taken from well before July. I can only presume that the backup in July must have been incomplete - but then I didn't think it was supposed to list as an option to restore from. Luckily many of the photos had been backed up on the pc but I am very frustrated as to why the icloud backup didn't protect them. Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it.

How can i Restore Photo's from my previous Iphone 4s icloud back up!!!

Hello guys i am new to apple discussion but here goes...
last month i had to get my iphone 4s replaced but before i did i made a back up on icloud, when i go on icloud on my new iphone, then go to manage storage it says i have 2 back ups, 1 from this iphone & 1 for my first iphone the thing is i would like my photos from my 1st iphone 4s backup either on my computer or my phone any ideas... nothing else just the things from photo roll i can quite clearly see the back up is there just carnt access it :s
All in all i really would like my photos from my previous icloud back up restored some how,
please write back people
Thankyou Bradleigh

You can't just restore the photos, you would have to restore the entire backup, then import the photos to your computer, then restore to your current backup to get your current data back. This will be a somewhat lenghty process.
If you want to do this, first back up your phone to iCloud as it is now (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Back Up Now). When done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Next go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below), choosing your old backup to restore from.
After restoring, import the photos to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then Erase All Content and Settings again, go back through the setup screens again choosing Restore from iCloud Backup, and this time choose your current backup to restore from. This will return the phone to its current state. Finally, if you want the photos you recovered back on your phone, put them in a folder on your computer, then select the folder to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.

I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work

I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
thank you

If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

Lost contacts, restored from a backup and now lost all photos

My wifes iphone 4s just lost all her contacts out of the blue. I tried to restore her contacts from a old backup and now she has lost a LOT of VERY important photos that were saved on her phone. Photos for her collage final "capstone" project before graduating.
WHAT can i do to get them back????
Phone has not been backed up since 6/12 and when we conected it to the computer (after ALL her contacts have just dissapeared) we attempted to get them back by restoreing from that backup. once finished all her contacts were back but now she is missing almost 400 photos.
PLEASE is there a way.....

You cannot recover the photos. They were overwritten by the restore. If your father had enabled PhotoStream they might still be available, but again, only if this had already been enabled.

IPhone 6 iOS 8.1 - Photos blank / preview corrupt after restore from backup

Hello,
I just restored from a recent backup of an iPhone 5s @iOS 8.1 (from today) to a new iPhone 6, also on iOS 8.1.
Everything else is ok, except the photo library. Only those images that have been edited within in iPhone 5s stock photos app over the last few months do not show up in the iPhone 6 library. The total number of images, videos etc shows up as exactly the same on both devices.
In thumbnail view, they're just white boxes. When I click on the white thumbnail, I can see the intended image for less than a second before it turns into a blank white image again. Interestingly, if I try and revert the image to its original version (as clicked by the iPhone 5s, before it was edited in-app), the image becomes viewable again.
I could do this if it were just a few images, but there are far too many of these scattered around in my photo library for this approach to be convenient.
I have tried restoring from the same back up again, no luck. I even deleted the backup from iTunes, made a fresh back up of the iPhone 5s and tried restoring to the iPhone 6 - no luck.
Is there anyway to force rebuild the photo library? Will that help?
Or should I delete all data and settings from the iPhone 6 and start over again ?
Any clues?

OK I was able to fix the issue.
Just in case this helps anyone:
I used iExplorer and navigated to the "PhotoData" folder. I backed up and then deleted the following data files form this folder:
1) com.apple.photos.caches_metadata.plist
2) PhotosAux.sqlite
3) Photos.sqlite
Then I quit the Photos App, hard reset the iPhone and reopened the Photos App. It took a while to rebuild the photo library, but everything seems to be back to normal now.

Could you be more specific about what exactly do you want to fix now?

After restoring from Time Machine backup (that was on 10.6.8) to a new (replaced) hard drive (on 10.8.3), iPhoto shows nothing in it's Library. Where are my photos?

Before I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, I thought I did all the appropriate updades (to 10.6.8) and backups, I did a Time Machine backup literally right before I did the install. During the install of Mountain Lion, my hard drive crashed and I had to get it replaced... which was covered by a Protection Plan. When I got the computer back, it had the desired OS (10.8.3), and I was told that if I did a Time Machine restore from my last backup, everything would kinda "catch up" to the current OS. So, just about everything "looks" the same as it did on the day when my original hard drive crashed (everything organized the same way on my desktop, multiple settings saved as they were before the crash)... but when I open iPhoto, it asks me what Library I want it to use. There was no separate folder that I had my original photos saved in... but I always was able to find the root files within iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't find them. Where the **** are they... and did the update have something to do with them being moved, or worse...?
Thanks for any help

Certainly you can restore files with Time machineas I noted in my original post - that is what TM is all about
1 - launch Time Machine
2 - go back to the when you made the backup
3 - select the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder)
4 - click the restore button
See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - for more details
One quote from that article
To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder. If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
And also from my first post
And you may need to post in the Time Machine forum as this is really a TM question not an iPhoto question

Try download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPad won't restore photos in camera roll while restoring from iCloud

Hello Apple community,
I reseted my iPad after iOS 8.1.2 update and now i'm restoring from a backup, I got my contacts, apps... restored exept my photos, only 5 photos were restored, I can see downloading, my ipad is stuck on this since yesterday.
Please help me and thank you in advance

Actually I posted here only after trying ezjules suggestions No luck. Even stranger is that even after I "stopped restoring" my camera roll is acting the same,; still says Downloading at the bottom. Strange.. Here is a screen shot after I have stopped the restore in settings.

I recently got a new iPhone 4 and finally plugged it into my Mac. I hit "restore from backup" and it deleted all of my photos. How do I get those photos back? My iCloud isn't showing them.

I recently got a new iphone 4. Before plugging it into my Mac, I had taken a ton of pictures with it. I finally plugged it in to update my phone and get my music from my Mac. In the process, I selected "restore from backup". After losing all of my new pictures on my phone, and not syncing my music, it seemed like the worst thing I could have done. Is there any way to retrieve these pictures? Any help will be appreciated.

The pics are gone. This is what a restore is. You erased your iphone, reinstalled your software, then added back your settings from the date of the last backup.
You should have imported your photos to your computer as you would with any digital pictures, before any restore or update.
Sorry

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
