Restoring Iphone photos

     Hello,
I have had a run of bad luck lately... my laptop which my Iphone is synced to was stolen, and subsequent my Iphone crashed and I had to wipe the Iphone to get it working again.  Through Icloud and the App store I have retrieved nearly everything back to my iphone.
The only thing I am missing are photos which pre-dated Photostream.  I have a full backup of my Itunes library and programme files from August last year, which I have restored music and videos from on my new laptop.  When previously syncing my Iphone, will the photos have been backed up?  if so, where would Itunes normally put these?
Is it possible to retrieve/restore them?
Where are Iphone backups stored, I can't find one in the files I have backed up but I could be missing it as I don't know what I am looking for.  I assume the photos would be within this?
I have a Photo Database file in my Pictures folder from my old PC under Ipod Photo Cache - is this any use?  Any ideas how to get into this file?
Sorry for 101 questions, but any help would be appreciated to try and recover these photos.

Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • HT4859 Faulty iCloud Restore, faulty iPhoto-itunes-iphone sync, how to restore iphone photos?

    I just updated my iphone from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 6.0.3 because my internet tethering could not work, but now Icloud is faulty and does not restore my photos, and yet is taking up 4GB of space... Anyone knows how I can download my photos?
    Additionally my iTunes no longer have the 'photo's section so i could not sync my iphoto's photo into my iphone. So my iphone is left with 100 photos from the photo stream( Which i am unsure where it came from).
    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and help me.

    iPhoto should have prompted you after it finished the import, asking if you want to delete. It does in mine -- version 9.5.1
    One way to quickly delete the photos still on your phone is to connect the phone to your Mac and open Image Capture. It allows you to select and delete photos from the camera roll without importing them via Image Capture.

  • Help restore iphone photos (only) from last itunes backup.

    Hi Guys,
    had a look through the older threads but unable to find the right answer which applies in my case.
    1) Over 2 months ago I have performed a full backup of my iphone 4s using iTunes 10 (photos included)
    2) My phone now has 2000 photos on it, but I want the other 1000 or so photos from the old backup.
    3) I don't want to restore my phone to be what it was 2 months ago. I'd like only the 1000 photos to come accross to my phone, so in total i have all 3000 photos on the phone.
    Can it be done by a novice? Any step by step instructions which someone can provide to me?

    I have been experiencing problems with My Photo Stream as well. What I ultimately did was create a NEW photo stream by doing the following:
    1. Select a picture from iPad/iPhone and click the "Share" button.
    2. Select Photo Stream.
    3. Select New Photo Stream.
    4. Give your New Photo Stream a name (I called mine "Missing Photos").
    5. Tap "Next".
    6. Add any comments (optional) and then tap "Post".
    After Step 6... PRESTO! I could see this new stream on both my iPhone 5 and iPad. Only problem is now I have the luxury to skim through my photos and see which photos are on iPad but not iPhone and vice versa.
    However, days later, I happened to know a software named iPhone Data Recovery, which is enable to recover deleted photos from iPhone for us. It really works. If you find the above steps a little confused, you can have a try of it.

  • How can i restore my photos from ipone 4s to iphone 5s

    how can i restore my photos and videos fron iphone 4s to iphone 5s

    You can import the photos and videos from the camera roll on the iPhone 4s with your computer followed by transferring the imported photos and videos from your computer to the iPhone 5s via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Photos and videos in the iPhone's camera roll or included with the iPhone's backup. You can update the backup for your iPhone 4s if not already updated followed by transferring the backup for your for 4S to the iPhone 5s. This will include all data included with the backup for the for 4S.

  • Desperately in need of help restoring my photos from iPhone 3G!

    Hello All,
    This is the first time I've ever posted a question on the Internet and I am desperate.  I would go to an Apple Genius bar tomorrow if there was one near me...I really need to know if there is any way to restore the photos, list of contacts, etc. that I had stored on my iPhone 3G before I updated to iOS6.  I had hundreds of photos of my kids on my phone, then synced to my PC before updating.  I hadn't backed up anything, and am obviously not computer savvy at all and thought that the warning I saw meant that I needed to sync, not backup.  Are the photos gone forever? 
    I've been looking at the message boards but can't find the exact answer.  If someone could please help me I would be most appreciative. 
    Thank you so much. 
    PS - I also don't know what happened to the Apps I had...Shazam is gone and I'd really like it back.  YouTube app also gone.  All my music is gone too.  I want to cry.

    I found the following advice on one of the communities but it sounds a bit complicated and I'm wondering if this would work for me (not sure since I didn't backup).  Any thoughts?

    Hey guys, i found a solution for our problem, at least it worked for me.
    1- Download Iphone Explorer (does not need to be a jailbroken device) http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
    2.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
    3.) launch iphone explorer
    4.) backup and then delete the following files:
    /Media/PhotoData/MISC/Info.plist
    /Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite (or /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite)
    /Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite (or /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite)
    5.) reboot your iphone
    After you reboot your device, windows will prompt if you wan to open your iphone on windows explorer as usual. After you open it, your photos are going to be there, just like it was before update.

  • After restoring my iPhone, photos in my text message history are gone

    I recently did a restore on my iPhone (June 27th).  I back up to iCloud....
    I was going through my text message history, and i noticed that the photos I had sent in them were gone, and I can't seem to recover them.  I just see an image with a question mark where they should be.  When I try to click it (like I might be able to load it), nothing happens.  The text message history is there, but not the images.
    I also noticed that some pics I had recently taken were gone from my camera roll.  When I restored - they were just gone...  They had "spots" for the days they were taken, and when I would click on them, it would say loading, but nothing ever happened.
    So, I thought the back up must have been bad, but when I try to go back to that point (27th or prior), I can't - only the 3 most recent backs up there, last night, the 3rd, and the 1st.
    I've got an older backup that I did to my computer, I could maybe use that - but that was from May (I normally back up to iCloud).  I thought iCloud allowed you to back up several generations - similar to time capsule on a mac.
    Anyone else experience this problem?  Any suggestions?

    every time i plug in my phone it doesnt say "sync iphone" it says restore iphone... which i have already done twice

  • Can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up

    can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up?

    Where was the photo before you did the restore? was it in the Camera Roll? If you had PhotoStream turned on perhaps the photo is still in your PhotoStream.
    Have you synced your iPhone lately? Made a backup. Perhaps it is there.
    Otherwise it is most likely gone.

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • HT201302 I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop, So i just want to restore the photos

    I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop. Recently i back-uped my iphone and started using my iphone as a new one. But all the photos were in the back-up. So i just want to restore the photos. Since my laptop is windows, i cant get them by iphotos.
    I was thinking that if i can sync just the photos to my iphone from by back-up, i can get the photos from iphone by transfering the files to my laptop.But i couldnt figure out how to sync just the "photos" of the whole back-up.
    Do you have a better idea for getting the pics from the back-up? If not, can you help me by the option i suggested?

    Hello SenaAkcicek,
    If you want to restore data from a backup to your iPhone, you will need to restore the full backup, as you cannot select what items to be restored to an iPhone.

  • How do I restore my photos from iCloud to iPhone

    Can someone tell me if I can restore my photos from iCloud onto my iPhone thanks

    I have 5 GB of backed up photos on the Icloud. The only change I've made was to copy the photos in my camera roll to my computer and then deleted all photos from my camera roll.  Some photos that for whatever reason were stored on photostream have been deleted somehow that were there before a month ago.  I can't backup my phone to the icloud because the last backup was way back in June and the photos I need for work were taken in August.  Did Apple hire some imbecile from Microsoft to complicate something that was working perfectly?  Whjere in the HE double hockey sticks did my photographs go??!!!!  If I am suppossed to save the photos I take from phone by somehow going into the photo stream and saving it on my phone where it should have been in the first place lest they get deleted in 30 days, then why wasn't everyone on the planet notified of this change.  What gives apple the right to delete my photos from my camera? No warning, no possible solution. just stripped from you.  This isn't a back up, this is a screw up what is most valuable data to most people, their photos.
