Picture albums somehow deleted from iPhone...

I somehow had old camera roll pictures from previous iPhones backed up onto my current iPhone. My guess is that during a back up, I somehow accidentally backed up all of the pics on that computer onto my phone. I actually found it very annoying that they were on there, but could never delete them from my phone. Today, I wanted to find a way to put them onto my computer, and then delete them off the phone from the computer somehow. I didn't really do much of anything, and couldn't figure it out, and gave up. When I unplugged the phone, I noticed right away that all the albums were gone, except for my camera roll. But they are not on my computer anywhere. The original lap top they were put on was stolen out of my car during a break in a few months ago. So now I am worried I have lost these photos. They are photos and videos of my kids growing up over the last 4-5 years. It would be heartbreaking if I lost them for good. I plan to call Apple tomorrow, but I figured I would ask here also. Thanks in advance!

None of the apps included with the firmware/OS can be deleted from the iPhone and since Safari is included with the firmware which is a single package, hard to believe Safari was not included with the firmware installed at the factory.
Check if Restrictions is enabled on your iPhone which can be done manually only and if so, check if Safari is enabled as a restriction which will prevent Safari from appearing but doesn't remove it.

  • Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6

    Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6 even after i remove them from itunes. plus it shows as others in the storage. how to remove the albums ? i removed them from the itunes linked folders though it still shows on the iphone !!!

    If they were placed on the phone using iTunes sync, the following from iTunes: Syncing photos has instructions on how to remove them. If that doesn't work it is usually because they were added from another computer. Many have reported success by first adding one or two new photos to the phone via iTunes sync using the instructions in the above link and then syncing again using the delete instructions below.
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • TS4022 where do i find my pictures which got deleted from my Iphone

    where do i find my pictures which got deleted from my Iphone

    Two questions...I'm trying to cet some pictures from my wife's Iphone printed and don't know how.  I thought they would be in a file on our PC per my first question. How do you import pics and videos from her iPhone to the computer and conversely, how do I transfer some of them to a cd so I can get printouts.
    Question two...I just got a replacement iTouch and want to get the pictures from the orginal (which I no longer have) from my computer back on to the new iTouch...thanks for your help!

  • When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • HT204291 No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    Sorry, your profile says iPhone 4. Best to be specific or have things up to date in order to avoid misunderstandings and prompt assistance.
    In any case you are still using basic airplay. You need to enable mirroring and this cannot be done within an app.

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted.  Trash can be bulk deleted.

    Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted.  Trash can be bulk deleted.

    Each has to be deleted.
    But it can go faster if the iPhone is held in the horizontal position, then on the left side listing tap Edit in the upper raight bar of that pane, and just tap each email to be deleted, then when you have a batch to delete, tap delete at the bottom left.  That is the fastest way I have found.

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

    unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

    Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Yes and as long as you are signed into iCloud - you can even use that phone to iMessage
    The messages stay on there until you wipe / erase / restore your old phone

  • How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.
