Restore Photos from Back up not going as plan

Why will only half my photos download from the backup? When I click on the photo's it is still saying that it is downloading. The odd think is my really old pictures are there put my recent pictures from about 2 months to now are not loading just the ones that I have recently taken. Is there a reason for this?

These are photos stored on my laptop, and the ones that are in my photo stream are there it is the ones in the camera roll that keep saying loading.

Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long?

why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long? i'm updating the software on my iphone 4 and started it yesterday... then my imac goes to sleep and not sure if the update is continuing... it says time remaining 31 minutes... then 33... 35... 37... it just keeps getting longer... what gives?

Hello,
How much data did you have on your iPhone? Usually this restore is a lengthy process, so I reccomend leaving it overnight.

HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine? All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file. I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file. Any idea

You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library. What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date. If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library. Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
Not tidy but it seems it will work.
Ciao.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only. It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

You need to import the photos with your computer, or transfer the photos from the phone to your computer followed by transferring the photos to your iPhone the same way you transfer any other photos on your computer to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

The restore from backup will restore the pictures you took with the iPod up to the time the backup was made. Any pictures taken after the the backup was made will be lost.

Backed up photos from iPhone 4S not showing on iCloud or iPhone 5S

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I recently got an iPhone 5S and most of my photos aren't appearing. I can't see them on iCloud.com, either.
My old iPhone 4S has always been set to back up to iCloud (photos included) and did so for the final time the night before I started using my 5S.
When I set up my 5S, it immediately showed all the data from my 4S (notes, reminders, etc.) EXCEPT most of my photos. It shows photos from 16 April 2014 onwards, but nothing before that. My iPhone 4S has photos right back to August 2013 which should be on iCloud.
In 'Settings > iCloud, 'Photos' is set to 'on'. The storage and backup information says 6.4GB of my backup is camera roll. So why has my complete camera roll failed to appear on my 5S?
Also, when I login to iCloud on the web, photos are not shown at all - so I have no reassurance they're backed up (despite paying for extra storage). Why is this? I have a total of 15GB iCloud storage and only 8.3GB is currently used.
Very confused - please help!

I don't want to restore photos from icloud onto my new iphone

Hi there,
I had an iPhone 4 and just got a new 5c. I backed up my 4 to icloud as i dont't own a laptop. I bought 20GB of storage and everything seemed to work. When I set up new iPhone i selected 'Restore from iCloud Back up' as I need old contacts on this new phone HOWEVER, I do not want all photos on new phone as I donot have enough space and they will fill up my memory. They are already in my iCloud so I shouldn't need them on new phone. I didn't see any option to just restore data rather than media and so photo stream is downloading constantly but wont finish as there is not enough space on phone. How can I just restore contacts to new phone and not pictures? My other option could be to set up as new iphone, but if I do this can I then download the contacts from my icloud seperately?
Going slowly insane.

You can't restore only part of the backup. Only camera roll photos are stored in the backup and they will have to be restored as part of restoring the entire backup. Photo stream photos are not stored in the backup; photo stream photos from the last 30 days will stream to your new phone when it signs into your iCloud account. You can stop this by turning off my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos.
The other thing you should be aware of is that you can't have photos in iCloud that are not also on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will be deleted from iCloud.
