Recovering iPhone photos after PC Sync

I just installed iTunes and tried syncing my iPhone photos to with PC.
Instead of copying photos to the PC, it did the reverse.
Any quick way to get these photos back via iCloud or other option.
(it looks like the iCloud photos folder was updated as well).

Syncing photos that were in the Camera Roll? Camera Roll photos don't sync, and a sync with iTunes would not remove them. A sync, if you have it checked in Photos in iTunes, should sync the photos on your computer to iTunes. If you had photos on the phone that were synced from another computer, those could have been deleted with a photo sync.
If you had the settings in your photo import utility on the PC set to automatically import photos and then delete from the source, it could have moved them from the iPhone. Windows sees the iPhone with photos on it like a digital camera and will import depending on your settings. Check your Pictures library and see if there is a folder dated today containing those pictures. But, iTunes does not do anything with pictures in the Camera Roll except back them up with the iPhone backup.

IPhoto 08: to recover lost photos after a sync

I have an iMac and a MacBook. I stored some new photos on the MacBook. But before syncing (with FoldersSynchronizer 3.6.1), I opened iPhoto on the iMac and made some changes. After syncing, the MacBooh iPhoto looks like the iMac one! The new photos are missing and, I suppose, have been deleted during the sync. They are 200 photos of my last holidays. How can I recover them?
Thanks in advance
Stefano from Italy

Stefano:
Unfortunately, You'll have to start over with the iMac Library and import the Originals folder from the MabBook library, telling iPhoto not to import duplicates in the process. That will give you a fully updated iMac library which you can then copy to your MacBook and use there.
In the future you CANNOT just sync the two libraries. That's because you have to sync the contents of the Library6.iPhoto file and syncing application cannot do that. You can try the following in the future. Keep all new imports into each library in their original Events. Then you can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy the appropriate events between the two libraries to make them identical. Any keywords, comments and titles will be copied also.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I took some photos with my new 4s. Then, when I connected Iphone on PC asked if I wanted to start as a new phone or old. I choose my old account. I would like to know if there is any, any chance that I can recover the photos took before sync back.

I did not use ICloud or any storage and did not make any sync before.
Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.

Your photos are gone. They were wiped when you restored your phone. There is no "trash can".
You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly. Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide. I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.
Best,

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

I need to stop iphone photos from automatically syncing to my facebook.

IPhone photos don't automatically sync to Facebook.
However, you may have allowed your Facebook photos to sync into your phone's photo app.
If you don't want the Facebook photos to appear in your photo albums, turn off the option to sync Facebook photos.

HT1766 iPhone photos lost during syncing; are they still available

Today I decided to sync my iPhone 5 and download the new version of the operation system because of warnings in the news about security breaches with the older versions. When I plugged the device in and selected it, I was not presented with the option of syncing but was guided to a screen with two choices: 1) register a new device or 2) restore the device to the settings of the last backup (2/27/13). I chose restore since the device was already recognized by iTunes when I plugged it in. There was no dialogue warning me that restoring means that you will be deleting any new data stored on the phone since the last backup. This is a crucial piece of information worthy of a red flag and warning similar to those you get if you attempt to delete a photo or contact. I proceeded through the restore process; eventually, there appeared an error message saying that the restore had failed. I unplugged the iPhone then plugged it in again. This time, I was guided to the screen for syncing and proceeded to sync apps, calendar, photos (there is no music on the device). When I finished, I discovered that many, many of my most precious photos and the albums I had created to arrange themon the iPhone were missing, although many of them remain. Most of the photos on the iPhone at this time are those that were already stored on the computer in Picasa while many of the iPhone photos I was attempted to save by syncing have disappeared. Is there any chance of recovering these photos, either on the computer or on the iPhone? My Photo Stream option was on for the photos, but most of them were apparently not captured and are missing from Photo Stream on the computer and on the iPhone.

I am not computer savy....I was trying to add some contacts and it would not let me. My grandaughter told me I had to sync phone. I did something stupid I told it to restore to last back up. I got all old contact information. I messed with it until I got my current contacts back. Everything is back to normal except my photos are gone.

Still seeing "new" photos AFTER folder syncing

I just right-clicked on my main folder (top level) so I could then select "Synchronize Folder." It shows that there are 124 new photos to import. I assume this is because I just combined some folders in an attempt to "neaten things up." So I click on "Synchronize" and then I click on import. What's odd is that I can repeat this procedure, and I'm still seeing 124 photos that supposedly need to be synchronized. Why would that be? Shouldn't it show "0" photos after going through this procedure? Thanks in advance.

I think I know what happened. "Don't import suspected duplicates" was checked by default. So it refused to import the 119 suspected duplicate photos. I then unchecked this and ran the Sync folders and import again. The import seemed to run successfully because doing it a third time showed "0" photos to import. Does this sound right to you? Thanks.

I have trouble to find my photo after I sync my ipad mini with my laptop for the first time. I assume it is stored in iCloud, how to view it?

Please help! I'm really stressed out about this. I have lost all my recent family holiday photos after returning from overseas. After I sync my ipad mini with my laptop pc for the very first time. all the photos I had in my iPad mini has gone. I assume it was stored in iCloud. As suggested i should download iCloud Control Pannel to my pc to which I did. After I click "manage storage", it shows I have used up 621.70MB of my total storage 5GB. I tried to click on the BACKUP icon, it displayed (incomplete) next to my ipad. What does it mean by incomplete? Where can I access my photo from icloud? Thank you and looking forward to your reply.

Hi, Winston Churhill,
Thank you or taking your time reply this query. Unfortunately I still can't find my picture. My photo stream folder is empty! :(
But my iclod account says I have 621.7 MB backed up. What are they? How to access this backed up file? What does I meant by INCOMPLETE. Does it mean that the file ha been corrupted during the process? Or ICloud is not compatible to my laptop?
Thank you.

Itry to sync my iphone 5 ,after saying sync succesful sync failure appears

after getting sync succesful a couple sync failure appears when trying to sync iphone 5 to car

I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.

Can I recover my photos after deleting iphotos library but restoring it back?

I deleted iphotos by mistake and then restored it back in trash, i still have not recovered my photos. I have two iphotos libraries now: one opens and is empty, the other does not open (its icon is different, it's kind of a white file). Is there any way I can recover my photos or are they just lost forever?

and
If you depress the option key and launch iPhoto what does it show?
and please explain
I tried opening the libabry of the restored iphotos but it doesn't let me choose it.
we know nothing except what you tell us so details are critical - including versions of iPhoto and the OS - your exact workflow (general statement that things don't work with no detail like the one referenced above are no help - to determine why something does not work we need to know eactly what you did and how)

Recover of photoes after computer crash

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 w/windows XP professional and the computer crashed and a friend thoght they were doing me a favor by re-installing my windows XP without trying to save any of my photoes, so I thought if I could put my code in I would be able to get them back but, I can't find anywhere to put the code or if you know another way to recover my photoes I will be truly grateful.

Marvin,
Did your friend format the drive when they reinstalled Windows? If so,
ALL of your user files will be gone if you did NOT have a separate drive
for those files.
Otherwise, all you really need to do is reinstall PSA SE and then click
on Get Photos and reimport the images.
Cheers

Hello there, Savagejacob.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for unexpected disconnects of your iOS device when syncing:
iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254
Check connections
Try the following steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

HT201317 iphone4 forced restore. Cant see my photos on ICloud? Should I restore factory settings Will I be able to recover my photos after restore?

Screen locked yesterday x 5 times. Powered on/off AOK. Connected to ITunes on windows PC, upgraded OS as suggested, Synch performed, backup halted Out of space? tried to delete apps from ITunes directly, Error messages "disk is full". Phone screen now showing ITunes logo and ITunes prompting a Restore of phone. What should I do? Will I lose my photos? I cant see any option to view my photos on ICloud (Contacts appear okay on ICloud)

Photos are not available for viewing on icloud and are not backed up to it from a PC or Mac, only from an ios device. It sounds like your iphone was unable to perform a backup to icloud before going bad (or whatever happened to it). You'll just have to perfrom a restore to see if any photos come back.
But the usual advice regarding photos is that you sync photos to the PC periodically as you would photos from a camera. If you've been doing that, then you'll find copies on the PC.
