Saving photos when restoring IPad

My iPad  3 wouldn't start up and only showed me a USB plug with the ITunes icon. I looked this up on the internet and see that it means I need to restore the IPad. However, I read that all my media, including photos on my I{Pad will be lost after the restoration and software update. Is this true. Will my photos be gone forever? Or can they be restored or found somewhere after the installation and restoration?

It is true.l
Your photos will be gone after the restore. They can only be restore if they are backed up.

  • ITunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40.

    iTunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40. I'm not the only one facing the same problem. On this site you can find many examples. Device operated properly small period of time. The reason for the error flash nand. I think devices should be replaced

    Sadly this is "normaly" a Nand chip or controller failure - I hope you are still in warranty
    But try  iRecovery  first - hope It helps

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm hoping someone will see this. I'm getting a similar error (with no error number). I am not running any modified software on the device. Can anyone help?

  • Crash when saving photo when contact edit screen open - anyone else?

    On two separate iPhones I have experienced a crash when saving a photo taken from "inside" the contacts edit screen. In both cases the photo app would capture the image and attempt to save. The screen goes black for about 5 seconds then returns to the home screen. The photo is not in the camera roll and the image container on the contact editor screen is empty.
    iPhone G3, 16GB, v2.2 <--both phones tested
    Sequence: Open Contacts, locate existing entry, tap "edit", tap "add photo", tap "take photo", shoot picture, tap "set photo", system shows "saving photo" pinwheel, then screen goes black.
    Doesn't happen every time. One instance corrupted the mail application and applied a false name in the "from" field for many of my emails. Remedy: Reload v2.2 software and restore from backup.
    Anyone else see this behavior?

    I have had this same problem. As best I can recall, I have the problem every time. I've certainly updated software, reset software and reinstalled 2.2 for my phone, for other reasons. And, I've gotten another friend to duplicate the problem. My workaround is to save the contact info and then take the picture from the camera and then reopen and edit the contact and add the picture. It's just that, sometimes, I make a leap of faith and try to take a save a picture from within the contacts. It's a teeny, minor embarassment when I then have to ask a person for their info again, as the contact crashes before it's been saved.
    Mostly, I'd enjoy the elegance of being able to add contacts and their photo at the same time. I know that's what is intended by Apple.
    I don't intend to newly install 2.2 software, etc. with my iPhone to try and solve this problem. Just seems like a waste of time at the moment. I just want to state that it's a problem and it would be meaningful for Apple to correct this in 3.0
    Life with the iPhone hasn't been perfect, but it has been awesome!

  • I have a new ipad mini purchased in Dec 2013.  I can not Picture Frame app to display my photos when the ipad screen is locked.  was this feature removed?  if not, how do I turn it on?

    I have a new ipad mini purhased in December 2013 for my father.  I want play the streamed photos on the ipad when the screen is locked.  Similar to what the ipad 2 using Picture Frame.  Unfortunately I can not find the picture frame app on this ioad mini.  Was this feature removed? If yes, are there alternative options?

    I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad.  Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

  • Transferring "Saved Photos" when not using iPhoto

    For Photos, I sync my iPad with a folder on my Mac instead of with iPhoto. Where do my photos in the "Saved Photos" folder go on my computer? And how can I control where they go?

    red555's tip works great - thanks so much for the help. I've been trying to figure this out since I got the iPad.
    One other thing I learned is that you can take a snapshot of the iPad screen by pressing and holding the ON button and then the HOME button. Puts the screen snapshot into the "Saved Images" folder for you.
    Thanks so much!!!

  • HT4847 I have a lot of room to store photos on my ipad which I use as my computer.  How can I keep saving photos on my ipad but not my iphone?

    I would like to store my photos on my ipad, not my iphone.  I have 64 GB on my ipad, and do not have a computer.  My icloud is full, so I would like to only save photos/videos on my ipad, and not my iphone.  Is this possible?  Or do I have to save them to a computer?

    Did you enable photo stream? if so, that service will sync the photos across your devices. But you can turn it off. If it's on, try going into the iPad settings, iCloud control panel and turn off photo syncing and then see if the photos remain on your iPad only.

  • Why am I getting an error when saving photos from mini ipad to macbook air?

    I'm trying to download photos from my mini iPad to my MacBook Air and I got the attached message. Tried doing it several times and still got the same result. Is it because my start up hard disk is almost full? Please help. Thank you.

    If your hard drive is full that could be a problem. Quit iPhoto restart the Mac and the iPad and try again.

  • ITunes 12.0.1 crashes when restoring iPad 3 iOS 8.1

    Hi,
    I updated our iPad 3 (err the new iPad) to iOS 8.1.  In order to do so, I had to do the full restore process.  We use W7P64.
    iTunes now crashes all the time, so we have an iPad with black apps "waiting", and unstable iTunes 12.0.1, it crashes after about 1 minute.  Great.  Unstable iTunes, useless iPad.
    Here's the error:
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes, turning on "Prevent Devices from Syncing Automatically"
    Any other suggestions appreciated.  iTunes folder is on a network drive.

    Despite resetting iPad, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, Shift+Start iTunes and use a mapped drive for iTunes library, it still crashes when syncing.  The only way to keep iTunes working, and remove the "Waiting" icons on 50+ apps, was to
    Check "Prevent Devices from Syncing Automatically"
    Uncheck "Sync over WiFi" when the device is connected in iTunes
    I then deleted the "waiting" apps one by one, will reinstall from the iPad app store.
    WP8.1 is just getting so much better, more quickly, than the iOS environment...

  • Lost some app and game data when restoring iPad 1 backup to iPad 2

    Very disappointingly, when I restored my iPad 1 backup to my iPad 2, I lost some but not all apps and games save data etc.
    Some of that stuff took hours!
    Any way of recovering it? Why would it affect some and not others, I wonder.
    Message was edited by: igmackenzie

    The same thing happened to me.  All apps loaded (though I lost my folders), but not of the data.  I was almost done with Angry Birds, and now I'm back at square one.  ggrrrrr....  

  • Saving Photos after Restore

    I recently had a huge problem with my iPod Touch 4G, where it completely froze and went into recovery mode. After connecting it to iTunes, I had to restore it yesterday. I know that I should have backed it up as much as possible, but my laptop was extremely slow and took over three hours just to transfer purchased items. The last backup I did was in January, so all of my media and photos since then have been taken off. Is there any way possible I could recover my photos? My notes were deleted, but somehow they showed back up today. I didn't know if somehow I could recover the photos/videos like the notes. I know there's probably nothing I can do now, but they were from my whole sophomore year in high school and I really wish I could have saved them. I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks in advance.

    I know of no way to get your photos that you took or save on your iPod since the January backup.

  • Lost photos when restoring phone. Help!

    I got a new iphone a month ago and lost my photos on it when I hooked it up to my computer to sync. I restored it back to October 2011 when prompted and now can't find my pictures. Have I lost them for good? Thanks for any help!

    If these were photos taken AFTER October 2011 by your iphone and you restored your iPhone to October 2011, then they are gone. 
    Photos should be uploaded to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be archived and stored safely.  Leaving them on a phone (or on any other digital camera) is asking for trouble, as you are experiencing now.

  • Recover photos before restoring ipad

    Tried to update to new software for ipad 2, once this got to the end it noted an error so assume it has not updated. My ipad is now stuck and has asked for it to be restored however I'am relucant to do as it says it will erase all data but I photos I wish as not backed up on laptop. Please advise how I can proceed without losing photos and other data?

    You may have reached the point of no return.  If you never backed up the device to icloud (this would included photos in the camera roll), then your photos are not in a backup.
    If the ipad indicates you must restore from a backup, but you have never synced photos to a computer as is usually suggested to archive them, and don't have a backup of the device to icloud, then the photos are gone.
