Photos 'restored' mysteriously on my iPad2 (iOS7)

I discovered an unexpected event while wiping out few sensitive photos on iPad.
I have iCloud backup, but Photos is always kept off. I have a backup of these pics (on another OS), so I tried to wipe them out from iPad.
1. I connected cable and used iTunes -> Syncs photos( to an empty folder).
2. I cross-checked on iPad after sync that there were no pics left.
3. To double-check I removed the cable, restarted iPad and SURPRISE !!! When I clicked on Photos "Restoring" appeared and in a minute came up with these pics and in addition pics I had deleted few months back.
At this moment iPad was only connected to internet through Wifi.
Where were these files backed up ? How to ensure that the backup is cleared ?

Hi Suresh Kr Shukla,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your pictures are on the iCloud backup. Any time you restore from that backup the pictures will be brought with it. You can, however, delete that backup using the instructions in the attached article.

How can I synchronise email on my ipad2 ios7 to my desktop PC.?

Can anyone please help? I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's possible to synchronise email on my ipad2 ios7 with email on my desktop PC. Although I use my ipad mostly fir email I still use my desktop from time to time. It's really irritating to go on to PC to fine dozens of emails still there which have been deleted on ipad and vice versa. If anyone can send clues I would be very grateful.
Please send advice in ' idiot guide' format.
Regards Jan.

How do I synch photos from my PC to Ipad2 without a change in the order of the photos?

I am not able to synch photos from my PC to Ipad2 without a change in the order of the photos. I ordered them by date so thought there would be no problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

A better solution in windows is set up folders and organize your pictures that way. That will be similar to events that iPhoto uses. That way the pictures will stay in an organized fashion for you.
I use a mac and iPhoto and the pictures are organized by events.
Good luck.

How do i transfer photos and videos from my ipad2 to mycomputer??

i need help on transferring photos and videos fr my ipad2 to my computer.. please.. thanks.

Plug your iPad into your Computer. Open Computer. You'll See an Icon called iPad 2 (or the name you gave to your iPad 2). Double-Click on it. You See all your photos. Now just choose thema Pictures you want to and copy them to your pc.
An App that dös the Same is called Photosync. You can Transfer your Photos wirelessly with it. It Works Great :)

How do I view a photo in PHP format on ipad2 via Safari?

Photos are not in PHP format. PHP is a server-side scripting language. If you are having trouble viewing a PHP page there must be an issue with the page's PHP script.

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

On my iPhone I have duplicates of photos in moments after upgrading to ios7

On my iPhone I have duplicates of photos in moments after upgrading to ios7

- If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod just use the computer's camera/image capture software to get them from the iPod.
- If the photos were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program such as PhoneView of TouchCopy.

My photos wont download onto my ipad2 from my computer?

"Thats Apple for you, simple things that should be free cost money. Your going to have to buy Iphoto and install it on you mac to have pictures sync."
Absolutely wrong. iPhoto won't help in SYNCHRONIZING the images from iTunes to the iPad as it can only access photos already synched (or imported via CCK / taken on the iPad itself).

I need to Restore my IPad 2 (with iOS7)

I need to Restore my IPad 2 (with iOS7) but cannot do so as there is no password for my old AppleID to which this IPad has previously been registered. I am prompted for the password when trying to turn off 'Find my IPad' which is necessary in order to restore it.
I have tried to get the password for my old account down all the usual routes, however my old account is not recognised by Apple at all! This was the reason i set a new account up in the first place.
This is mostly affecting my use of ICloud hence the reason I wish to restore my IPad and start over from scratch. Is there anyway of restoring the IPad and overriding the need for a password to turn off 'Find My IPad'??
Please help, this is driving me insane!

Pull the USB plug out from the charging adapter.

16 bit depth photo restoration, older version of Photoshop.

I use an older version of Photoshop. It is able to import and read a 16 bit depth file. Though it is limited in what it can do with this bit depth, it can do the levels and curves adjustments on an image. I want to have the best quality scan to start with for photo restoration in my older Photoshop. I won't be able to directly import the file with my older Photoshop from the scanner. If I scan a photo as a 16 bit 600 ppi image, I'm afraid color information will be lost when I open it in the older Photoshop. Is there any way I can open and save such a file without losing all that good color information? I know I would need to save it in a format that supports 16 bit depth like png versus jpeg.

Not exactly sure how Image Capture works on lion, but i belive i read that since os x 10.5 that it should scan in 16 bits/channel
Are you able to use the software that came with the scanner instead of Image Capture or maybe you need to update your scanner software or
possibly check the preference in the Image Capture scanner preferences to use Twain Software When Possible.
Or scanner software like VueScan which is much better than most software that ships with scanners.

Anyway if the scan is saved as a 16 bits/channel tif as output by the scanner to a place (folder) on your hard drive, then ps7 should open it as such.

How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

I have seen an solution:
1. When in the iOS 7 Photo app you tap Photo button in the bottom toolbar.
2. Then you tap Select in the top right Navbar
3. Then find a photo which is NOT in the Photo-stream and NOT in the Camera Roll. I have a bunch of these for some reason after updating to iOS 7. These photos will get a checkmark, but will not turn the trash can blue.
4. You can then select a photo that IS IN Photo-stream. It will also get a checkmark and the counter will display (2), and the trash can will turn Blue.
5. You can then tap the blue trash can. The Photo-stream selected photo gets deleted BUT the photo the selected photo that is NOT in Photo-stream and NOT in camera roll IS Still There!
Or you can have a look this article: how to delete photos from iPhone

HT4859 Can't get all backed up photos restored

I manually backed up my iPhone to iCloud (although my phone was set up to back up to iCloud automatically too) and then I restored it as a new phone. How come I only have 134 out of more than 1,000 photos restored? How can I get all my photos back?

I'm thinking you might be a little confused here
Backing up your iPhone over-the-air via iCloud and then using iCloud for syncing/Photo Stream is quite different. If you did the backup (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then yes your CAMERA ROLL (photos physically on your iPhone) along with all accounts, documents, settings, apps will be backed up, and you can restore these.
If you were only doing Photo Stream however, it simply means that iCloud is syncing all your registered devices so that they show the same photos, contacts etc.
Hope this makes it clearer for you!

How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2? When I try, it asks the photos will replace the three apps I created

How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2? When I try, it asks the photos replacing three apps I created.

You're welcome.
However, can you then organise your photos in i Pad into different categories so that it is easier to access? If that can be done , then can we keep them separately in i Pad so that it can not be deleted when we Sync next time around?
Already answered with my previous post, which is not by category but by photo albums or folders or photos.
Create a parent folder on your computer to store the folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPad only. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
To add another folder of photos to your iPad, place the folder of photos in the selected parent folder followed by a sync.
The named folder of photos in the parent folder will be transferred to your iPad as seperate albums or folders of photos.
When adding a new folder of photos to the selected parent folder to be transferred to your iPad followed by a sync, the existing folders of photos in the parent folder that are already available on your iPad will not be touched or removed with the next sync to transfer the new folder of photos to your iPad.
