Restoring a photo from the iTunes backup of the iPhone

My son deleted a picture of himself (he's 11) from my iPhone that he didn't want me to have. I wanted to restore it from a backup of the phone that I made last week. How do I do that?

Thanks. I'm restoring it now. All of the conditions that you mentioned were true. There were two pics that I took at the Penguins' playoff game last week that wouldn't have been on the backup. I didn't know if those would be wiped out or not so I copied them to my PC first before I started the restore. Other than that (and a ringtone but I can recreate that), everything that you mentioned was true. It's kind of a joke between my son and me -- it's just a stupid pic of him sleeping on the couch (though he claims he wasn't sleeping). He thinks it's over now that he deleted it from the phone. Joke's oh him...
Thanks.

Photos can be retrieved from an iPhone like any other external storage device - connect it to your PC, open "My Computer", access the files. Otherwise you can also use iTunes.

Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

HT1414 Can I restore individual texts from an old backup of my iPhone 4 (6.1.3) without restoring my entire iPhone?

Can I restore individual texts from an old backup of my iPhone 4 (6.1.3) without restoring my entire iPhone?

but the opposite isnt possible sady!
I just sold my iPhone 5s and waiting 4 weeks now for my iPhone 6+
I took out my old iPhone 4 and tried to restore it from a backup i had just created a few hours ago on my 5s (iOS8) and the option was greyed out.
I could only see backups from a year back !
You cant restore an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2 from a backup created on iOS 8 !!!!
That's so STUPID!
iCloud syncs my contacts, calendars and reminders, but i have to setup all the rest of the settings manually! I have 7 email accounts, mix of gmail, hotrmail, yahoo, 2 exchange, others, etc. lots of personalized settings, Apps that i need to download again and arrange in folders like before, ......big hassle!!!
It shouldn't be that tough Apple!

How do you transfer photos from the iphone to a pc?

How do you transfer photos from the iPhone onto your PC?

The same as you do with any digital camera. If you've installed iTunes, the phone should be recognized by Windows as a camera.

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this?

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this? Not all of the users in our environment have this issue. If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts. Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

Can I Restore Notes only from an iTunes backup to an iPad,or is a full restore required?

Is it possible to only restore Notes to an iPad from an iTunes backup or is a full restore the only option?

Only a full restore is possible.
However, there are some computer applications which can extract information from a backup file.

I have an iPhone and a new iPad. Both access the same iCloud account. The iPad new is new and all the photos from the iPhone have been backed up to the iCloud account. How can I download the pictures from iCloud on to the iPad?

ALWAYS sync photos to a computer, don't count on icloud to store them for you. It does include photos from the camera roll in a backup, but that's all - and restores are not reliable when it comes to photos.
Added info...
Since you should always be syncing photos to your computer as you would photos from a camera, then sync from iphone to itunes/computer, then sync from itunes/computer to ipad.

FOR A PC:
On a PC, simply drag photos to the designated Photo Stream Upload folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

How do I restore my contacts from an iTunes backup on my iMac?

How do you export photos from the iPhone to a PC running WIndows XP?

I have followed many threads in the discussion forum on this, and have tried all suggestions from getting a Picasa account, to diabling auto synching, to trying other USB ports. The bottom line is that nothing other than iTunes recognizes my iPhone when it is plugged in. I am running iTunes 8.0.11 and Picasa 3.0, and Windows XP Release 3.
There must be a way to get the photos I have taken with my iPhone on to my computer so I can work with them.
I would greatly appreciate any information on this.
Brian

Even if iTunes wasn't installed the iPhone shows up as two devices in the device manager. The one that shows up under digital imaging uses the standard Windows XP camera driver and it you should be able to read images in a standard way using Start > All Programs > Accessories > Scanner and Camera Wizard.
However if the phone is not showing up properly in device manager I'd try some basic troubleshooting reset the phone and such. If it doesn't work on a different computer you may need to restore the iPhone.

Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one? I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly. Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

*correction*
Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Can you upload your photos from the iPhone to the computer?

I want to upload my pictures onto my laptop and all i can seem to do is transfer the computers pictures to my phone which is the total opposite of what i am trying to do...is it actually possible to do the reverse and put my iPhone pictures onto my computer? Thanks :)

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone. As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and be included in your regular backup of your computer.
Pics taken with iphone should be imported as you would from any digital camera:
