Retrieving photos from stolen iPhone

Hi there,
I had my phone stolen whilst overseas about a month ago. Luckily I backed up my phone to my PC before I went away so have been able to access all those files I left behind and sync them onto my new phone. However there are many photos I took before the phone was stolen which should be backed up to iCloud.The last iCloud backup was the day my phone was taken so all of the photos should be there, I just don't know how to access them.
When I got my new phone I tried to do a restore from iCloud so that I'd have all of my photos but it was taking hours and then it kept saying the internet connection ceased and would start all over again. After numerous attempts I gave up on iCloud restore and restored from my PC iTunes sync instead (but minus the holiday snaps). Is it possible to access iCloud from my PC so that I can simply retreive the missing photos or do I have to do a complete iCloud restore and wait a million years for it to do so or risk it not happening at all?
Cheers for your help :-)

I see two avenues for you to pursue.
1. Restore from the cloud. It may take a while, but just plug your iPhone into power and let it do its thing.
2. Retrieve the photos from Photo Stream. If you were ever connected to a Wi Fi network while on vaction (preferably over night) then it is possible most of the photos got uploaded to Photo Stream.
For the latter solution, on your new iPhone (which I'm making an assumption you bought) once you've logged into your iCloud account launch the Photos app, tap Albums then Photo Stream. In the Photo Stream album tap the "share" icon in the upper right of the screen, then tap all the photos you want to retrieve and tap the "save" button along the bottom. This will save all the photos to yoru local storage.

    How to recover photos from stolen iphone?

    You might be able to recover any photos that were in an iCloud Photo Stream if you had an iCloud account and used Photo Stream.  But without a backup of your library or MB hard drive you won't be able to recover any of the iPhoto Library photos as Jim has already pointed out.

  • Am I able to retrieve photos from an iPhone after it has been restored?

    Is it possible to retrieve photos from an iPhone 5s after it has been restored? I had taken photos on my new iPhone 5s prior to restoring the previous settings and I never saved these photos. When I restored my phone from the old backup, my new photos were gone. I don't think they were saved to iCloud either.

    Without a backup with the photos on it, you will not be able to recover them.

  • If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

    My iphone was stolen 1 month ago.  I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app.  Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
    Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone.  I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device.  Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

    The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
    They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
    Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos from an IPhone backup on a PC?

    Recently restored iPhone. Realized camera roll pix had not been synced properly. Attempted to retrieve photos to no avail. Where do the pix reside and can i retrieve them on a PC back to the phone? Any help appreciated.

    If the photos were on the iphone when the last sync was performed, then you should be able to restore from backup.

    If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

  • Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iPhone after restoring the phone?

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help!! Not a very technical person so would appreciate any advice.
    I plugged my phone (iPhone 4) in to my laptop and it must have started to update to new software, anyway now iTunes doesn't recognise my phone and is telling me it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored but doing this I would lose my photos I think.
    The photos I need to retrieve are only a few days old but I didn't put them on my laptop. Not sure about a backup I haven't done one but does this happen automatically when syncing and how do I find out what which photos are there?
    Thanks

    The update can not start by itself. It requires manual intervention.
    If the phone is in recovery mode, there is nothing left on it. If you didn't have your photos backed up or synced to PhotoStream, they are gone.

  • Retrieving photos from my iphone on icloud

    I lost my phone and I'm pretty sure it was stolen because the battery was charged but it has been off all day so I can't track it. I am wondering how I can view my photos that I backed up on iCloud. They aren't showing up on icloud.com and I downloaded the iCloud desktop manager on my PC and they aren't showing up in my photos on my computer either. I don't think I had the photo stream enabled but I did have my photos backed up to iCloud, so is there any way to view them without loading them on another iphone? I'm not worried about anything else I just don't want to lose my pictures!

    Sorry, you can only use the back up to restore to a replacement device.

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
    My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
    The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
    Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

    No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

  • How can i retrieve deleted photos from my iphone 5c

    how can i retrieve deleted photos from my iphone 5c.

    Restore your iPhone from the last backup you made before you deleted the photos from the iPhone. An iCloud backup (or an iTunes backup) saves the content of the camera roll.

    how do i retrieve my photos from my iphone 4s after it was syc with my apple laptop

    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process remain on your computer.
    Photos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera which is not done with iTunes. With a Mac, this can be done with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.

  • Can you retrieve deleted photos from an iPhone?

    I uploaded all my photos from my iPhone onto my Macbook Pro and then deleted them from my phone. My Macbook has since crashed and I had to restore it from a past backup which did not have my photos from my phone. Is there any way to retrieve my deleted photos from my iPhone??
    Thanks

    If you explicitly deleted them, they are not recoverable with normal user tools. However, some specialized forensics outfits may be able to do their magic and retrieve them for a [steep] price. They usually work for law enforcement but may offer their services to civilians.

    Do you have a Windows computer or Mac?
    If Windows - and it has iTunes installed - you should see an Autoplay explorer when you connect your iPhone - this should let you see the pictures and transfer them back to your computer
    Wrong. That only works for pictures in the Camera Roll, not those in the Photo Album app.
