Retrieving pictures of lost phone using icloud

I have just lost my ipod5 and wanted to retrieve my pictures off of it that were just taken before it was lost. I used icloud and was able to retrieve some of the pictures, but not all of them. Why is this happening? how do i get all of them?

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
Or, you can fiind other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Old pictures onto new phone using iCloud

On my IPad I had a bunch of pictures and videos but last year I gave the iPad to my mom. Reseting it before i have it to her I never knew how I could get those photos and videos onto my new one. They were in "The Cloud" does anyone know how I can get them?

You could have recovered them by restoring them to another iPad, but Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity (about 6 months). If the backup is older than that then it no longer exists. If you had a backup on your computer, you could still restore that to another iPad.

If i have lost my iphone can i retrieve my pics and messages using icloud

if i have lost my iphone can i retrieve my pics and contacts using icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contacts should already be at iCloud.com if you have already set up iCloud sync services. Photos in Photostream can be viewed on a computer using the same iCloud account, but not at iCloud.com.
If you haven't already set up iCloud on your phone you won't be able to do so now you have lost it.

Is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

I had this same problem (still do--phoen is still missing).
Do NOT get sucked into the scam site online that says they can find your phone with the IMEI number. I was so frantic that I paid those clowns $70 to do it. WHeN I figured out that htey were not doing as they said and sending me reports, I finally called Apple and was told NO, it is not possible.
If you did not have Find My iPHone on (I didn't), and you do not have insurance (Verizon can ping it if you have insurance, and they will not let you pay to do it after you've lost it) OR if you don't have an subpoena, you're out of luck, unless you can find it.
Just don't get suckered into believing that site. It's the only one that I found like it. They've even got a database where you can look up your phone IMEI number and it will show you the model, and it's correct. The rep I spoke to from Apple said more than likely someone was selling that info (Illegally) from the phone carriers, so it all looks pretty good when you're frantic.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

How do I restore my lost contacts using icloud?

I tried turning off contacts but no msg pops up like I've read in other posts.

When you restore your phone using the settings > general > reset options, you will be given the opportunity to restore from a previous iCloud backup.

Why can't i restore my new phone using iCloud?

I recently had to take my 4s in due to a battery life issue and so I backed up using icloud but when I setup my new 4s I used the backup from icloud option, entered my login info but was then told there were no backups available. Any help would be much appreciated

Your new iPhone has to have a version of iOS that is at least as new as the iPhone used to make the backups. I'm not talking iOS 5, but the entire version number (5.1.1). So try updating the new iPhone.

Restore the backup of your old phone to your new one. That will recover your camera roll photos and other data. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

How to get pics from old phone to new phone using iCloud.

I just got the iPhone 5s and I used to have a 4. I backed up my pictures and contacts but the only thing that's on my new phone is my contacts. My old phone won't come back on. I need my pictures off of my old phone. My new phone says I don't have enough iCloud storage to backup. When I go to settings, iCloud, storage and backup, it lists my old phone and my new one. I don't know how to get my pictures back.

You have to use the other account or turn on sharing.

hi i have lost my iphone 4s. i think my icloud was on and i need to retrieve my photos on my laptop. is there anyway i can do it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The best you can achieve on your laptop is to download any photos you had in photostream. To do that you simply need to enable photostream in the iCloud settings on the laptop.

Lost contacts using iCloud

Hi guys,
At the first, I have synced the contacts to iCloud using my MacBook from iPhone4. Some months back, I deleted some of my contacts in MacBook's Address Book that were synced. But, did not deleted contacts in iPhone. I guess, Mac & iPhone got synced while in Internet and I can't figure out those deleted contacts in iPhone.
Please help to retrieve those deleted contacts!

I still remember I back up using iTunes in MacBook. I think, it was 2 months back. Is there any chances of losing apps if I restore the back up?

How do I print my iphone calendar from my PC or from my phone using iCloud?????

Can you please tell me how to print my monthly calendar page from my iphone5? It worked magically until the new ios7 update by syncing with outlook. Can I print the calendar from iCloud directly from my phone or directly from my PC? Thanks !!!

I can not print my calendar from the cloud; from outlook or from my phone with air eprint? What is wrong. I have all my business events for the year and need to print it. Please don't tell me to get a different app. would take hours to transfer the schedules.
