Photos/videos lost iphone 4.
I purchased a new iphone 4 last week and had my photos videos and contacts imported from my old Android phone and then sold my old phone. An hour later, I went to look at my pictures and they were just gone. I had videos of a pet that recently passed on, and the sales associate reassured me they weren't going anywhere, and didn't let me leave the store until the videos and pics were on my iphone. I have tried almost every other third party software out there and I cannot recover these images from my phone. A support associate said they were gone forever. I am probably going to take my phone back tomorrow and cancel my contract because I am so upset. Has this ever happened to anyone? I didn't have time to back them up and I didn't know about icloud, I didn't update my phone and I cannot find any other reason for my photos to be gone, they just kind of spontaneously dissappeared. I used to love my iphone but this has seriously tarnished my opinion on Apple and its products.
Also, I don't have a computer to back up my data. I used to have a Macbook but it died on me a few days ago.
If anyone knows of any ways to recover these videos on my phone the help would be greatly appreciated.
Jailbroken? A "new" iPhone 4 doesn't come with iOS 6.0.1 anymore or would have updated to 6.1.3 by now...

Error when importing photos/videos from iphone 4 into Picassa.....
When attempting to import photos and videos from iphone 4 into Picassa (v3.8) I get the following error message:
"An error has occurred while attempting to import. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only. (1)"
Any thoughts? I know this is an iphone specific issue as I was successfully able to import from another camera.
P.S Quicktime up to date and quicktime movies checked in Picassa.I have the same issue. It started only after the most recent iPhone update though, leading me to think it's the phone, not iPhoto.
The pictures that do import are streaked/blurry with terrrible colour. I can still send them via email but they're smaller files.
Does anyone know another way to get my full-res pictures off my iPhone?
[edit] I found out that I could use Apple's Image Capture software, which worked like a charm but the pictures themselves are a mess. I'll have to try resetting. -
Accidentally lost my photos/videos on iPhone 5. Is recovery possible?
Today I was all excited to finally be able to connect my new iPhone 5 to iTunes and sync the information from my old 3GS phone. Unfortuantely I did something wrong and lost the photos and videos (which I care about most). I was able to recover the photos through photostream and 1 video (that I sent to a relative). Is there anyway to recover the other videos? The videos are from Christmas.
If you just resynced, unfortuntately those are gone. If they're no longer in your photo album on your phone, they're gone. Sorry to hear if that's the case, Ryan.

Transfer photos videos from IPhone to external hard drive
I am growing older rapidly from frustration. I would like to transfer photos and videos from my IPhone to an external hard drive
that is plugged into my I Mac. Photos are already in IPhoto but I want to directly transfer again to the external hard drive.
Then I will feel more secure in deleting photos and videos of great grandkids from my I Phone. There is so much on there that
it will not allow me to take any more pics. At age of two I do not want to miss anything new as she is learning.
I tried in past to sync and it transfered pics from my I Mac to phone so now I have couple of thousand pics on phone that do
not need to be there.
Thank you for your support to whomever will answer for me.
juditsewsalotThis is what I have done so far and stuck again.
I opened Image capture plugged in IPhone. Device brought up camera roll pics only.
I was able to send them to the external hard drive. Now they have green checks marks. I cannot seem to remove them. Don't want to delete them yet to put into folder for having prints made..
Devices showed IPhone but would only show camera roll I have two other folders and cannot seem to go to them to show up on the device one is Photo library has 300+ pics and
last import folder. I would like to take the 300 also from the Photo library and also copy them or move them to the external hard drive.
What step am i missing , please help.
thank you

Mail problem receiving photos videos from Iphone
Hi,
Writing from France so sorry for my poor english.
I have an issue since a few wekks to receive properly photos or videos sent from Iphones (ly wife's or mine).
In fact here is what I get in Mail window.
I cut the mail but it is quite long.
Maybe some parameters changes cause the problem.
I created a rule to move automatically all mails received in IMAP GMAIL folder "TO DO" I created.
I have absolutely no problem with standard mails but each time I receive a picture or video from my wife's iphone I get this result which is quite disturbing.
Could you please help me?
Best regards.

Does anyone know how to wirelessly transfer photos/videos from iphone to iPad?
I need help transferring photos and videos from my iphone to my ipad. Any suggestions?
If they were synced from iTunes you can use that. If they were taken with the iPhone you'll need to download thme to a computer, and then sync them up to the iPad.
Alternatively you can use Photostream to make them available to the iPad, or use an online service such as Dropbox, or Photobucket to view them on the iPad -
Recovering photos/videos from iphone 4G
I plugged my iphone 4G into my iMac OS X version 10.5.8 computer - itunes asked to setup as a new iphone or restore? I stupidly chose restore and then force quit a min later. I still was connected by usb but not all my photos and videos were showing! I disconnected my phone and all my photos and videos were gone. Anyway to get them back? I did not back up for a long time and had several hundred photos! Help - I am in tears!

sorry, those pics are gone if you don't have a recent backup.
Did you not import those pics to your computer as you would a digital camera? -
Hello all—
Recent upgrader to iPhone 6. I have a mid-'09 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and I'm seeking to transfer video I just shot on my iPhone 6 to my Macbook Pro. They are large files so I need to transfer via USB-to-Lightning cable as I don't have wi-fi capability to do the upload. However I can't access the iPhone 6 as a storage device through finder or image capture and can't figure out another way to transfer the files non-wirelessly. Any suggestions? The old iPhoto '09 on here won't let me import, either.JoeVB2 wrote:

HT4236 All photos and videos lost after first sync on Iphone 5s and cant retrieve after backup
Hi...new to this so please be gentle....plugged in my Iphone 5S to upload holiday photos and videos, the phone has sync'd them? and i clicked on backup and now i cant retrieve them at all?...tried to reset to the backup time but they are gone...any ideas or are they gone for good?
Any help would be useful thanks.chloe_lux wrote:
I cannot figure out where I did wrong, honestly speaking.
Or, maybe it is because of the automatic sync function in iTunes? This time when I connected the iPhone with the computer, I was reminded to update iTunes - then I did so; by default, "Automatic sync when this iPhone is connected" is checked so the computer was syncing with the iPhone via iTunes. However I remember that there were notifications saying something like "this iPhone was synced to another iTunes library" and I needed to erase this iPhone to sync it to the new library - then I followed; if I cancel, I wouldn't have any option to sync my iPhone with my computer.
Do you think it is because this operation that iTunes gave me the previous sync data that didn't contain the latest photos/videos?
iphone are meant to be sync to only one iTunes library.
so you went ahead with the sync and it erase all your data? -
How can i send photo/video from pc to iphone 5
Using lightning cable to send a photo/video from pc to iphone 5, but the message said "cannot copy because the device is either turned off or the cable is disconnected/unplugged"
I did send photo/video from iphone to pc successfully, but can i send back some of them in case of need?
ThanksYou might want to start with reading the iPhone user guide. Basic processes like synching are covered: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
In short, you must use iTunes to synch photos. You can also get more information in this knowledgeable article: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support -
I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer. -
I just purchased the new iPhone4 but when I went to plug it into Itunes for the first time I found that I had lost al of my photos, videos and music. I thought I had backed up my old Iphone by plugging it into Itunes before turning it in. Is there anyway to recover my photos and such?
Is this how you backed up your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 if not then sorry all your contents are gone.

My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* all text messages. When the SIM cards are swapped between phones, will any of these things be lost/deleted?

Thank you! I would prefer not to wipe his phone. My cracked screen iPhone still works, so I would ideally like to put his SIM card in my phone for occasional use. As mentioned, he is not using his iPhone anymore for phone calls, but would like to maintain access to photos, video, and all texts. As I use an iPhone for calls, trading the cracked screen is ideal. If I am able to switch them without losing data, I will, but am afraid to do so if there is a chance that any data will be erased. (I'm not sure if the photos, video, and -namely- texts are saved to the actual SIM card. Can text messages be backed up?
iPhone do not store anything on the sim.
Photos should be saved on computer like any other digital camera.
You can restore the backup for your dad as well as for yourself while swapping phones. -
Hello, how can i get my photos,videos,and contacts of my iphone transfer to my pc. As i have lost my iphone 4
If you don't have your iPhone anymore, you can't access the data on it remotely.
However, if you are syncing to iCloud, you can set up iCloud syncing on your computer and at least get your contact info.
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
You might also think about putting your device in lost mode or erasing it:
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
