Recovering photos from iOS back to Mac or windows

hi, my wife and I were recently burglarized and the robbers got both our macbook pros, which were not backed up
they they did not get our iPads or iPhones, however. i sync all my photos on my computer to both my iPad and iphone, is there a way I can get the photos off my iPad and back to a computer without having to select each one and email it or something tedious like that?

Be careful and do not sync the iPhone and iPad with iTunes, until you have downloaded the synced photos. Syncing again with a different computer will erase the photos. Also, do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), if your devices have been upgraded to iOS 8, because enabling the  iCloud Photo Library (Beta) will immediately delete the synced photos.
is there a way I can get the photos off my iPad and back to a computer without having to select each one and email it or something tedious like that?
Apple recommends only the "Something tedious" (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support) , so try the third party apps.
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.
On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library.
You could also try to share the photos to a shared photo stream, if your iPhone and iPad support that.

  • Transfer Photos from iPhone back to MAC

    Need to get photos from iPhone back to my MAC - they are not iPhone photos. They were installed from iPhoto then hard drive crashed and pictures were lost. Now would like to get them back from iPhone. Can this be done?

    This is not possible by default with an iPhone.
    Keep in mind that photos transferred from a computer to an iPhone are optimized for viewing on an iPhone. If possible by some other means, the original resolution of the photos would be lost.
    This is why maintaining a backup of the important data on your computer's hard drive is so very important. It isn't a matter of if, but when your computer's hard drive has a partial or complete failure.

  • How can I recover photos from iPad to my Mac?

    Hi! Have myself in a bit of a situation and I'm hoping there's an easy answer that I haven't found yet.
    Last night, my external drive that I kept my media on died. No problem, right? I use Time Machine like a good boy...
    ...and then I see that TM excludes external drives automatically from backup. Oh heck. I can't believe I missed that. No backups of my years of media files.
    So, that's not a problem with my music, redownloading everything using iTunes Match. All my photos are synced over to my iPad, and I figure, I'll resync them with iPhoto.
    Not working. It'll show the last batch of photos I hadn't synced yet from my iPad, but that's it. It's like it thinks the old photos are still in the library, even though I just created the library file from scratch. (The original library file was lost.)
    Is there a way I can get back my photos/albums/events back from my iPad and into iPhoto? I've backed up my photos from iCloud - is the solution there? or am I hopelessly screwed?
    Thanks!

    That will be difficult. Your iCloud backup of the iPad will only include the photos in the Camera roll of your iPad, and you can only use it to restore the Camera Roll.
    See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    The albums, that you synced from your Mac to your iPad cannot be synced back - that is one-way, see:    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    Since you can only import back from the Camera Roll, you need to share  the synced photos to the camera roll or email them. Or shre them to a shared photo stream to yourself, if your system supports shared photo streams.
    You can connect your iPad to your mac using USB and download everything that is in the camera roll to iPhoto or Image Capture.
    What is your MacOS X version on your mac? And the IOS version on your iPad?  Can you use shared Photo Streams?

  • Can i move photos from itv back to mac

    I recently lost all my photos stored in iphoto, this is a new computer to me so I didn't have too much but still quit a bit. I am a new Mac person and am finding it difficult to switch from PC to Mac but I am trying. I've read some of the boards and think it may not be possible but I wanted to ask anyway. These pics still appear on itv...can i move them back to the MAC??? if so...can you please tell me how...keep in mind I am new to this MAC world.

    These pics still appear on itv...can i move them back to the MAC?
    Not without removing the drive or hacking it, both of which void the warranty.

  • Recovering photos from iCloud after a hard drive crash

    Can I recover photos from iCloud to a Mac?  I know how to backup from iPhone, etc.  But I have someone who's hdd crashed and there were not using Time Machine.  They were using iCloud to what they think was backing up.  Thanks guys.

    You can recover any photos on the phone that were backed up to the iCloud via iTunes by connecting the phone to a Mac, log in to your iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane, launching iTunes, selecting your iPhone and restore the iPhone from the backup.

    Hi MrRhea,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
    Best regards,
    Joe

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20228281#20228281
    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

  • Transferring photos from Ipod back to Itunes

    My problem is my old pc totally crashed and I lost everything. Ive since got a new one and once Itunes was loaded back on and my Ipod was connected my music has been transferred without a problem. However I'm hoping someone can advise me how to transfer the photos from my Ipod back onto the pc...If this is possible.
    Many thanks for any help in advance.

    There are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

  • Recovering photos from the icloud

    Recovering photos from the icloud.  Any suggestions?

    If you backed up your phone to iCloud, the photos in the Camera Roll album (taken on the phone) are backed up, but not photos synced to your phone from your computer. 
    To restore the photos to the phone, you have to restore the entire backup - can't selectively restore the photos.
    1. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    2. Follow  prompts on your phone to re-activate and restore the backup from iCloud.

  • Recovering photos from my Time Machine

    I am attempting to recover photos from my iPhoto app via the Time Machine.
    When I enter Time Machine, my Desktop folder opens.   I go back to the September 12, 2013 and to the iPhoto application.
    However, the iPhoto icon has a white “Do Not” symbol (circle with a diagonal line) on it.  When I attempt to open it I get a pop-up box similar to what I get with the dropdown “About iPhoto” information from iPhoto in the Toolbar and the iPhoto icon again the circle with a diagonal line.  

    Try going to the pictures folder and restoring the iPhoto Library file in Time Machine.
    I hope I helped.

  • Need app. for recovering photos from a reformatted CF card.

    Are there any other apps. for recovering photos from a reformatted CF card besides Lexars Image Rescue?

    Don:
    I've used MediaRECOVER with great success.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
