How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Tony

Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup. Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later. It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account. If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings. You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad. Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again). They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.

How can I recover accidentally deleted photos and videos?

My sister sorted the photos into albums in my dad's ipad then she deleted all the photos from camera roll. Surely, all photos and videos were erased. Please help me. There are many pictures there that I need for my wedding. I badly need them.

Unless you backed up your iPad to iCloud or to a computer, they are gone. You cannot safely recover photos from the iPad.

Updated operating system and the ipad4th gen froze up and restored it's self and now I lost all my photos and videos from over a year ago,,any way to recover them?

system restored it's self after a recent operating system upgrade 8.0 and kept shutting down and restarting ,asked to be linked to my mac ,,so I did and it totally reset it's self ,all my apps ,photos and videos are gone from the day I bought the ipad...looked in itunes and I cloud and they are not there,,is it possible to recover all my photos now after a complete restore has happened?

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

HT1766 Recovering deleted photo and video files from iPhone4S

I accidently restored my iPhone4S and deleted my photos and videos. I was in the process of uploading these files to my newly created iCloud account using iTunes, but during the early stages of the process the phone OS locked. The only choice I was given was to restore and I chose to do so thinking that some of the media had been uploaded to iCloud. Is there any way that I can recover the deleted files?

Without a backup there is nothing to restore.
iTunes has nothing to do with uploading content to iCloud.

Recover lost photos and videos after 7.1.1 upgrade fail

Hi,
I updated my Ipad mini this morning to 7.1.1, and after it failed to update, I tried to install again, after which it went into recovery mode. It looks like the last successful cloud backup was 6 months ago, so I have lost 6 months of photos and videos of my young baby.
Photo stream was turned on, so my question is - can I recover the lost photos/videos from photostream somehow?
Some feedback for Apple: fix your upgrade process, and if there is even an outside possibility that it will remove all my photos and videos as part of the update, make doing a full backup before the update mandatory.
Thanks,
Craig

Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library. This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud. (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version. Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
1- 13.5 GB
2- 7.2 GB
My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up. I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.
Kiwi Grant

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream. In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them with Image Capture. After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
If you did this carefully, he would never know. The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll. The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll. Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

Recovering lost photos and videos

I recently deleted a lot of photos and videos on my iPhone 5. I am trying to get them back. I am pretty sure I have backed my phone up on iCloud before I deleted them. Please help me get them back

To restore from iCloud you will need to first go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all settings and content
This effectively erases all content on your device and then when you go into the actvation process you will choose to restore the device using the icloud backup in which your pictures are stored. A simple matter of retstoring your device from the icloud backup where you backed up your pictures.
Good luck.

How to recover deleted photos and video from sony xperia z1

Unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do - You could try a program like Recuva but I would hold out much hope

Please HELP! My kid wiped my iPhone5 and I need to get my photos and videos off it! I have no backup with iTunes :(( Is there a way to scan the device manually?

hi,
New to this, so go easy on me. I recently got my first iDevice - an iPhone 5. I've used it for a month now and I have to say I love it.
But, I gave it to my kid this morning to look at. It was locked, so I assumed it was safe. WRONG. 5 mins later, I returned to him and my lovely iPhone5 was at the setup /pick your language screen! Looks like he entered the password incorrectly too many times and wiped it.
Now - I thought it would be fairly easy to recover the data and the apps - but it turns out this is not the case. I was never prompted to install iTunes and sync the device - not in the manual, not on the device when setting it up - so how was I to know that that would be my backup. I checked iCloud at a suggestion of an IT pal - nothing there, despite knowing that I had a Photo stream enabled. I may have disabled it only recently, but not sure if I can manually turn it on again?
Anyway - is there a way to manually scan my device and grab my all important photos and videos?
Cheers for any suggestions!

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:
