Photos Gone after I synced to iTunes

Ok, i recently synced my important photos from a computer, and after few days that computer's hard drive was damaged, so i thorwed itaway. I had those pictures in Photo Library, and it was good. I bought a new computer and synced my new photos, when i synced, my old photos were gone, and new photos came. The old photos were gone. Someone please reply, those photos were important. If there is any way to restore them, please tell me as soon as possible.
I BEG YOU!!!!!
Please
Navroop J.

Photos that have been synced to the iPhone from the computer are not part of the iPhone backup. That is because the photos are part of the computer already. When you synced the iPhone to the new computer, since those photos did not appear on the new computer and you synced other photos, the old ones were deleted. This is how the photo sync process works.
Since your drive was damaged and you threw it away, there is no way to recover those photos. Sorry.

Is there any way to recover deleted photos, etc after a sync? iTunes didn'

let me say I hate that Apple software tends to give a button to push w/o options or other vital information. It's an example of making things too simple.
I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone. I'm most wanting my photos back. I've tried downloading 3rd party data-recovery software, but it never seems to find the iPhone like it finds external cards or cameras.
Please, Please, is there some app that will work to recover deleted photos? And I think I will never trust Apple software again!

I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone.
It is not possible to sync one iPhone with another.
You can transfer the backup for an older or existing iPhone to a new iPhone but doing so does not touch or delete anything off the older or existing iPhone. There is no device limit for the number of iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer and each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone.
Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Photos in the Camera Roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete all photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll is by using the iPhone's Erase All Content and Settings option, or by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If you restore the iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, the photos that were in the Camera Roll would be restored along with all other data that is included with the backup.
Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone that is synced with iTunes on the same computer and it is impossible to sync one iPhone direct with another iPhone.

Photos gone after a sync

Hi my mum just did a sync of her iphone and lost all the old photos(it didnt warn her this would happen) of her dad who passed away, there not on her computer as she had a virus and lost the lot and now there off her phone, please someone tell me that she can get those photos back?????

Sorry, but the photos are gone. We get posts every day here like yours. Fact is, the iPhone is not a storage device. These photos should have been on your mom's computer & that data regularly backed up. When she performed a sync, with these photos no longer on her computer, the sync process(as designed) erased them from her phone. Had these photos been on her computer(again, as designed), that would not have happened.

Can i get my photos back after acciendtly sync my ipod

can i get my photos back after acciendtly sync my ipod and all my photo delete...

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are on your computer sync them to your iPod
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting the photos from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I can't delete a photo album that was synced on iTunes.

I can't delete a photo album that was synced on iTunes. I deselected all photo albums to sync on iTunes and the albums are still on my iPad. I did a search for this issue and a suggestion was loading some other software onto my PC to delete them. I'm not sure I want to do that. The album is stuck on my iPad and iPad Mini.

Are these folders that are no longer on the computer? I see you unchecked the albums, but the sync did not change things. Try this:
In the folder where you have your pictures, create a new folder and leave it empty. Deselect all folders to sync except that one. It should remove everything else from the phone except that one folder, and since it is empty, there should be no photos left except the Camera Roll. Then you can Deselect that empty folder and sync and you should no longer have any photos synced to the device.

Photos fail on iphone sync on itunes

when I sync my iphone to itunes the option does not appear more photos. what I do ?? because I want to move photos from my pc to the iphone!

The following has instructions iTunes: Syncing photos
If you cannot see the Photos tab after connecting your phone and selecting it in iTunes, it is usually because the tab is off the side of the screen due to resolution or size issues. There may be a scroll bar at the bottom that will allow you to get to it.

Photos gone after upgrading to 5

Just upgraded to the 5, all syncs went fine, except for photos. Not there. Prior 4 was backed up to iCloud as well as iTunes. Are these photos gone forever or can I recover them somehow?

I guess I never used an application for photos. Told by Verizon rep that photos would be in the cloud and/or on iTunes since I backed up to both before I upgraded. I'm thinking that a while back I turned off the My Photo Stream function to save some storage. Which means I likely DON'T have the photos either in iTunes or in the "Cloud". That is a bummer that I'll probably never get those photos back.

HT5824 my contact list does not update to its current state. After I sync to Itunes or after I back up to I cloud Also I did a doccuments and data restore and it still didnt change. How do I fix this?

My contact list does not update to its current state after I sync it to itunes or back it up to icloud I did a documents and data reset and the contact list still didnt change.. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

My iPod 1g has been dying quickly after 1st sync with iTunes

Hi-
After my first sync with iTunes my 1st Generation iPod has been dying very quickly. And I charge it all night, but when I turn it on it says that I only have 20% battery then maybe 5-10 minutes later it says I have a full battery. What is going on? I bought this iPod used with no mannual. The whole 20% battery issue happened right from the point I got it.
Thanks so much!

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset (both buttons) and connect to computer and try to restore. If screen is still white you very likely have a hardware problems.

Is there a way to import photos to iPad without syncing to iTunes?

I have pictures on my MacBook Pro that my friend would like to have on her iPad. There are A LOT of pictures. I have read the article about syncing photos via iTunes. In that article, it says that "syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device." Deleting current photos on her iPad is not an option. Emailing the photos and then saving them on the Ipad would take too long.
Is there a way (other than emailing or syncing the iPad via iTunes) to get thoes pictures from my MacBook Pro to her iPad?
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) with OS X Mavericks (10.9)
iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3

Yes there is. Use iCloud Photo Stream. You can share up to 1,000 photos in one album, up to 100 albums with up to 100 people per album.
You must first make sure you have iCloud Photo Sharing switched on in iPhoto.
1. iPhoto Preferences > iCloud > Photo Sharing (check box ticked)
2. Create an Album with the photos of your friend (up to 1,000 photos)
3. Follow instuctions from this Apple Help link to "Create a shared photostream" http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#phtf7fe6394
4. Your friend will receive an invitation to accept your shared photostream and once accepted all the photos will appear on your friends iPad.

Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3 from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc. I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

All photos gone after setting up iCloud?? Please help!!!

Hi, I've had my iPhone for about a month decided and decided to finally set up my ICloud. It said I needed to verify my email address, which I did. As soon as my iCloud account was set up, I noticed that all of my photos were gone. Somebody please help!! Why did it do this and is there any way I can get my photos back???

iCloud doesn't "delete" photos. You have lost them some other way. Most people sync to different computer and loose them or sync with computer that that has none saved. Camera roll remains no matter what computer you sync. Restoring may have erased them. If they were from photo stream sign into icloud at settings>icloud> and turn on photostream.

Imported photos gone after import

Hey guys,
I have a HUGE problem. The day before yesterday I imported around 300 pictures from my canon cam into iPhoto. Since my memory card is pretty small I checked "delete pictures after import". I looked at the pictures in my iphoto library, and they were properly imported. Yesterday when I tried to import new photos I noticed that the photos I imported the day before that were gone. All images lost BUT the events are in the library, empty of course.
I double saved the new pictures and imported them - they also were properly imported, but when I quit iPhoto and reopened it, they were gone aswell.
Does anyone know how I can get my pictures back? Already tried photorec on the SD-card - it restored the wrong pictures.
Thank you so much, all help is highly appreciated.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
Regards
TD

You cannot delete those photos without removing them using iTunes or unless you totally erase the iPad using Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.
