Recovering deleted video and photos from ipad or iphone

I deleted accidentally 3 Family videos from Hawaii plus some photos from my iPad. Now I am trying to recover them.
1st I stopped using the iPad so I would not overlap info.
2nd I did a backup on my MacBook into itunes
3rd I opened Finder, Go, then pressed alt to show the Library folder, Application support, MobileSync, Backup.
Picked the most recent backup and found all my files without any extensions.
copied them to another folder so I wouldn't mess with the originals. sorted them by size and added .mov and .jpeg to them.
the photos I recovered some but the videos only one that i forgot that I had deleted. Still the 3 most important Family videos I cant play.
Any ideas as to adding other type of extensions or I heard that they might be coded by mysql
Tried 2 recovery programs didn't work, no trace at all but the third trial program found them yet I am now reluctant to spend more $ for nothing.
Ideas to recover videos? please help, These steps might also help others for recovering just photos. Thank you!

Thanks for the advise unfortunately my iPad is running on ios 7.0.6
I wonder if I updated it, would capture the deleted in less then 30 days items. but worry if the update may override some data.
If in two week I don't find a solution I will try the update to 8 (before the 30days). and keep playing with the backup. Again, Thanks for the advise.

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

HT4910 how to move my videos and photos from ipad storage to icloud storage?

I would like to purchase more videos and music from apple store, however i dont have enough storage space left, i purchased more storage for icloud back up, now i am having hard time to move files of movies, photos and music to icloud back up storage and i still can not buy more movies or music. How to move things to icloud storage please?

iCloud doesn't store movies or music. It only allows you to redownload purchases from the iTunes store if you ever lose them (assuming they are still available to redownload, and in the case of movies, that the studio permits it.) Also iCloud only stores your camera roll photos in your backup, which can only be accessed by restoring your iPad to the entire backup.
iCloud isn't designed to do what you are trying to do. iCloud is for syncing data across all your devices and for backing up your devices, not storing your data. You use iTunes on your computer for that. iTunes will add your purchased videos and music to your iTunes library so you can remove it from your iPad and add it back later if you want. To save your photos you import them to your computer (and then delete them from your iPad if you want) as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

How do you stop kids deleting videos and music from ipad

Hi,
I'm able to check a box in restrictions so apps aren't deleted but there is no similar function to select for music and videos.
I'm Getting fed up with my special needs kids being able to accidentally delete them.. its happened twice today, 25GB of videos accidentally were removed.
How can we lock them so they can not be deleted?
If there is no function, perhaps Apple needs to create one.
thank you
jasmum

You can make a password protected folder of the apps your children use to access music and videos so they are not on the screen. They will not have access to music or videos. But I'm sure your problem is they want to see videos, hear music, etc. ...
If they don't have them, maybe they'll lose interest and play with games specified for them. Even then, though, they can probably delete those, too.
To my knowledge there are no apps to prevent your children from deleting music and videos. However, you are not alone. You might want to google it. If enough parents inforn Apple... Look what they've been doing for vision, hearing impaired, users with physical mobility problems, people on the autism spectrum, and others with learning issues/disabilities, etc. Here are a couple of ipad parents with similar questions/requests.

If your ipad 2 is older than 90 days you do not have phone support. If more than a year, it's out of warranty. If you're near a genius bar make an appointment. Otherwise, I suggest the following solution.

Sync contacts and photos from iPad to iphone

my calendar syncs, but contacts and photos don't, it use to work, then stopped? ipad to iphone

Hi there 888Sbos,
If I understand correctly you are able to sync your calendar information to both the iPad and the iPhone, but the contacts do not sync to the phone from the iPad. If you are using iCloud to sync your data, I would recommend that you use the iOS section of this article:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
It starts out pretty basic but just use starting at the beginning and work your way down as needed. If you are syncing contacts to both devices through iTunes using Outlook on a PC, use this article instead:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

how to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

If you did the backup of your data before deleting then you can easily get back the data by the following steps:
1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPad from syncing automatically." Because this will ensures we don't erase the previously stored backup. Then select ok and close the window after checking " don't sync"
4. Now connect your iPad to your computer .
5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
6. Select version and click on restore from options.
7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your data from iPad, including the deleted sms, notes, photos, music, contacts etc.
Here is a step by step guide for you: http://www.video-converter-mac.org/recover-deleted-ipad/

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod. My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway. Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases. If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

I have deleted email and photos from my device but icloud still says I don't have any storage

I have deleted emails and photos from my device but iCloud still says I don't have enough storage to download the latest iOS version

You'll have to delete more data from the device.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. (Ignore storage on icloud, since that is not part of the equation.)

How can I organize home videos and photos in ipad

I don't have a mac or pc, just the new ipad. I'm planning to buy a camera card reader adapter so I can load my photos and videos directly from my camera card to my ipad. But then how do I organize my home videos and photos in my ipad into albums?
I saw the photo folder app does essentially what I want but does it treat videos the same as photos? I didn't see anything about it being able to organize videos.

See the follwoing and the links in the following:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yuo will likely need a computer app to convert the format to one compatible with the iPad. I use the Free HandBrake app. It has an iPad preset.

I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

Transfer hd video and photos from dslr

I have a Canon T3i DSLR that i shoot pics and HD video with. I travel alot and need to edit my photos and videos on the road. Even tho i have a first gen ipad which i LOVE....it's not great for photos, and i cant edit videos at all. So i am thinking of getting one of the new macbook airs that just came out today.
I WOULD go for the 11" high end model with 4G ram and 256 SSD flash drive.....but the only thing making me pause and think about the larger 13" version is that the 11" doesn't have an SD card slot.
I know i can get an external USB card reader and hook it up to the 11"....but would that be ALOT slower than transfering video and Photos on the 13" macook air by popping in the SD card into the slot? The new models both have thunderbolt....will thunderbolt SD card readers come out eventually?
If the ipad 2 transfered and edited HD video and photos, I'd nab that. But it doesn't.
If the 11" macbook air had an SD card slot, I'd nab that....but it doesn't.
ARGH! **** you Apple!!! Lol.
Even tho i have a big 65L Osprey backpack for travelling, I'd still like to pack as light as i can, since i will be treking all over the world. Cant check my backpack, but i have a smaller daypack for carry on to hold my camera and laptop.
The 13" and 11" macbook airs are both the same thickness. The 13" is only 1" wider and 1.5" deeper than the 11". So not TOO much bigger. The 13" is 2.9lbs while the 11" is 2.3lbs...so not a HUGE difference in weight.
So i guess it comes down to the SD card slot issue. Does anybody have experience with transfering video and photos to the 11" thru an external card reader? And if so, is the internal SD slot on the 13" ALOT faster when transfering? Or about the same? And lastly will thunderbolt card readers become available in the future u think?
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my questions.
Cheers!

Good to know that I am not the only one thinking about this. I currently have an 11" MBA. When purchasing I considered getting the 13" just because it had the SD card. However, smaller was more important to me. I have a canon 60D and I have transferred images using an external card reader and through a direct link to the camera - at the moment, neither are spectacular. I have also used a the SD card reader built into the iMac's - but even that appears slow with a 32Gb SDHC extreme card. I am hoping that the thunderbolt technology will lead to SD card readers - firewire and USB 3 have and since thunderbolt's transfer rates are ridiculous fast, taking advantage of it would appear obvious. However for the near term, I am looking into faster USB SD card readers. The best website that compares these, with every popular sd card imaginable, and on a Mac (as well as windows) is:
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/reader_report_multi_page.asp?cid=6007-9438
Until the first round of thunderbolt SD card readers become available, I will be holding off on the new 11" MBA - when they do... I will be itching to upgrade.
Good luck!

MacBook Air does not turn on but does this damage it's hard drive ? Can I still save/ recover videos and photos from photo stream?

My MacBook Air was put on sleep mode and a couple of hours later I attempted to turn it on and no response. I called apple support and went through the process to try to power it back on and it would not turn on . Nothing would show on the screen and I heard nothing coming from my MacBook Air .
Is this because it overheated ? does this have to do with where it was charging and placed ? or is this because of battery/ power problems ?
I had no choice but to take it to the apple store for repair . Does anyone know if when this happens it ruins my hard drive ?? is all data lost ?
I have my sons memorable photo and videos on photo stream ? How can I recover that if it would turn on ? it is photo streaming with iPhone but only limited and no videos .. Can I get transferred/ photo streamed to windows computer?
Please help ..any ideas what went wrong and how to save my memorable home videos an photos of my son ?
Greatly appreciated

Well on the Air models there really isn't a traditional hard drive, it is a SSD/Flash drive that is integral to the system and can't really be removed or connected to another Mac for retrieving of files. So yes if you take it in and they have to replace the Logic board, The Hart Of the System, then more then likely all your files will be gone.
That is one reason Apple includes Time Machine for Backing Up the system including your files. If you never used Time Machione then eventually, At Some Point In Time, you will Lose all your data. That is a fact of all computers.

IPhoto '11 Deletes All Albums, Events And Photos From iPad after Sync

In addition to many of the other issues mentioned on this thread, today I synced my iPad for the first time since upgrading to iPhoto '11. After syncing, all the photos, events and albums except for "Imported Photos" were deleted.
In iTunes, the iPad is set to sync albums and events from the last 12 months.
iPhoto '11 has been a horror show for me. I use iPhoto daily and am currently in the process of downgrading via Time Machine.
I understand that as a professional photographer I should be using Aperture or Lightroom, but I've just always felt comfortable with iPhoto.

I really wish I hadn't jumped on this the first day. I need to wait a little bit and read the forums. Had I done this, I would've done a complete clone of my photo library prior to this. now I've lost a few months worth of photos, which *****. And there are people in a lot worse situations than I. Lesson learned.
