Software update disturbed and all pictures gone. can i restore them?

iphone 4s was updating its software and in the middle of backing up the data, someone took out the phone from the plug. mostly all of my pictures are gone. can i restore them?

THis is pure BS!!  How can Apple not code for a potential failure in a backup procedure?  What are they thinking, that everything works perfectly and never a glitch in any system?  I am in the process of backing up my pics, and they innocently ask if I want the new OS.  I say yes thinking it is a 2 minute process, they completely wipe everytthing off my phone and I don't even think I got the upgrade.  I am so ****** off I can't even look to see what version I am on.
Please don't tell me I should have backed up... That is what I was doing when Apple wiped my phone data.

    This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

  • I can't get the mac app store. There's no software update availiable and it seems i can't upgrade to Mac OS X Lion without that.

    There's no mac app store availiable to download for me.
    I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, but without that mac app store it seems to be impossible.
    I did all software updates but never got that mac app store. So what can I do now?

    THis is because you have two OS X upgrade steps. First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29 us, disk only, no download).
    Once you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and run Software Update to get to 10.6.8 then you'll have the Mac App Store and can take the second OS X upgrade step to Lion 10.7.2.

  • Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?

    I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.

    1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
    2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
    3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
    You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

  • Updated - now have lost apps centre and all apps an can't get them back on

    I just updated to ios5 and have this icloud thing, but now I don't have my apps centre or any of my apps on my phone. I have tried to sync but the apps area on itunes does not let me do anything, its like it is frozen on my page. If I go to apps on the left hand side I can see them but I can't get them back on my phone or update them.....I am wondering if the icloud thing is the problem because I don't have wi-fi...PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for your response. I did have the apps button on my iphne screen from the very time i purchased it, it had the apps 'A' symbol and I could go into that to download apps onto my phone without having to connect to PC and going through Itunes...however now it doesn't exist. Yes I have tried restarting both the phone and the PC, Syncing, resetting Uby way of hitting both buttons on phone for a reboot etc. Yu know when you are in Itunes and you can go into your screen and move your apps from page to page or delete etc, well that page is totally frozen and I won't let me even click on it anymore. I have deleted and re download itunes and all of the apps.But still nothing, the apps are blurred on my screen and state - waiting 

  • My notes on my iPad and iPhone stopped syncing with iCloud; now they are all gone, can I restore them?

    I have iCloud set up to sync both my iPhone and iPad. Today, my notes were not synching at all, in the past they have perfectly, so I flipped the Notes switch under iCloud settings off and back on to 'refresh' it, now all of my notes are gone. Is there a way to restore them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    How long ago was this, some users have reported them coming back after a short time.

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • IPHOTO LIBRARY FOUND IN TRASH. RESTORED AND ALL PICTURES GONE

    I have iphoto 2011 installed on my imac. I had thousands of pictures installed and my imac is relatively new so I did not do a Time Machine backup or copy my photos. Unfortunately my iphoto library was in the trash and when I start iphoto it says 22 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported.Would you like to import them now? When I click yes it says: The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/USER/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_453.
    I have a white page document on the desktop titled iphoto library (which I recovered from the trash) and when I click on this iphoto opens and starts to import and immediately iphoto stops running.
    When I select the Macintosh HD hard drive and go to the USERS then PICTURES folder it shows 461 file items and they al say iphoto library revocered photos but when you click them they are empty.
    When I select the iphoto library in the Pictures folder then select MASTERS folder it shows three photos in the entire 2011 folder.
    Are my pictures just not being opened correctly by iphoto and they are somewhere else or did I lose them all but three? I have used 124.64 GB and have 875.22GB remaining.
    Please help? IMAC 10.6.8

    I am not 100% sure what you mean by the iPhoto window because there are a lot of iPhoto files. Which window (sorry there may be only one). If you tell what steps I can tell you exactly what's there.  In the iPhoto page on the desktop thereaid a file and if I am not mistaken it says it is 4GB in size. I have no idea how my photos disappeared and how to get the iPhoto library back. When I click on the iPhoto library, iPhoto opens and then goes to force quit. All other folders (main) have files that say restored but they are empty when I click on them. I think the photos are still there  because of the size of the file but I do not know how to get iPhoto to see them now. Im sorry I do not know more, I may have to take it to the Apple store to see if they can help because I'm pretty new to the MAC world.

  • I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them.  Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.  However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so.  If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
    To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

    Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

    We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

  • I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!

    Hello
    i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all.  The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup.  I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it. 
    I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me??  Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
    I am not hugeley techie so plain English please. 
    Thanks
