Photos missing after updating to ios 5.5.1

When the IOS 5.1.1 update became available a few days ago, I decided to update. Before doing that, I attached my iPhone 4 to iTunes and synced the phone. When that was complete, I initiated the update.
Once the update was complete, I noticed that all of the photos and videos I had created since mid-March were missing. Are they stored on my computer from when I sync, and if so, how do I access them? Otherwise, why did this happen and how do I prevent it in the future?

Well, it doesn't technically back them up, but rather puts them on the computer. You can access them in either iPhoto or in iTunes. If the photos are already on the computer, try syncing the iPhone and set it to Sync Photos and Videos in Camera Roll.

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

    I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
    Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
    Can Apple fix this problem?

    Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
    This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
    UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80%  of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

    Sorry for my english (O:

    I was having the same problem, I went to the "Apple Store" and a tech guy told me to back up everything on iTunes, and then load as a new phone.... Safari then worked... I then had to tell iTunes to reload all the apps and stuff on the new install... Don't know if this will help you, but I was having exactly the same problem with my Lotus notes webmail server.....
    Worked for me.

  • Photos of last 30 days deleted after update to iOS 8.0.2

    After update to iOS 8.0.2 yesterday all my photos of the last 30 days are automatically removed/deleted from my iPhone5 overnight. These photos are not in the new folder "recently deleted" (Zuletzt gelöscht" in Geman). Instantly all photos were there and everything was fine. What went wrong?
    The phone call list is also empty.
    I want my photos back. Apple take care!!! I need answers immediatly!!!

    I Have same issue with wifi on iPad air with 8.0.2 being qa engineer myself I am amazed how company like apple can release something with fundamental issues with wifi and cellular. I guess basic tests are missing and Apple needs to employ good people in test and do not get into this kind of disgrace next time. There is no fix? I have issues with apps upgrade too due to slow wifi, come on apple don't be Samsung or Chinese companies!!!!

  • Camera roll missing from iphone 4S after update to iOS 8

    camera roll missing from iphone 4S after update to iOS 8

    Hi,
    It's normal, it's replaced with another folder.
    and now you can recuperate your deleted pictures from a folder or after 30 days they will be deleted.

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.

  • After updating to iOS 5, the Photo album stopped working.

    After updating to iOS v5, my iphone 4S's built-in Photo app stopped working.
    The Camera takes a photo, but the photo disappears from the camera roll and shows no photos in the photoalbum.
    My iPhone used to take photos so, I don't believe it is a hardware issue.
    Is anyone having the same problem?
    Would there be a update of the v5 to solve this issue?

    I figured it out.
    In my case, I just needed to restore my phone to the factory setting.
    My iphone = iphone 4 running iOS v5
    My computer = iMac
    Software didn't work = preinstalled "Photos" app
    Symptoms = after I take a photo, the image thumbnail of the camera roll shows the image, but images are found neither in the camera roll nor in the albums of the "Photos".
    Solution procedure:
    connect the iphone to iMac
    in the Summary window of the devices, click "Restore"
    choose not to save the backup file
    choose to restore the iphone as a "NEW" device instead of choosing a backup files*
    follow the rest of instructions.
    It helped and now I can view my photos in the photo album.
    * However, I accidentary re-restored it with a saved backup file and the "Photos" application stopped working again. I repeated the resotre procedure avoiding the accidental restoration to a backup file.
    The camera and the photos were working before iOS v5 update, and it is now working again. So, it is obviously not the hardware issue. It seems that iOS v5 and the Photos are having compatibility issue Apple should look into this issue.

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20228281#20228281
    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

  • After updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    At last, the BEST solution!
    In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
    It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
    Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
    Enable Airplane Mode
    Go to iCloud settings
    Turn on Contacts
    Agree to 'Merge Contact'
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
    Turn off Contacts
    Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
    Disable Airplane Mode
    Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
    Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.
