Stole iPad and retrieving photos

My iPad was stolen a couple weeks ago...and I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve my photos. I've already synced the ipad to my mac but I didn't have photostream set up and it was a while since I synced the device. Is it possible to retrieve the photos with another apple device and my apple id?

If you synced and backed up your iPad and photos, then yes. If not, sorry, your photos are gone with the iPad. You can restore the backup to a new device or use a third-party solution to extract them from the backup itself.

  • IPad and Aperture - photo deletion and/or editing

    Hi all,
    I'm a new happy user of an iPad 2, and as I am also a user of Aperture, I was wondering if there is a way to delete photos from my iPad and thus from my Aperture. I have sooooo many photos that I want to delete, and I would love it if there was a way to sit with my kids and prune through my library on my iPad. Also, is there a program that will allow me to do any photo editing/captioning/face tagging/caption adding, etc., (basically a moble version of Aperture) on my iPad?
    Thanks so much!!!!!
    Leah

    The problem is with the ipod photo cache.
    He had me do the following:
    1. go to home folder in finder
    2. open pictures folder
    3. right click on iphoto library and click on show package contents
    4. Find "ipod photo cache" file and drag to desktop
    5. Close finder
    6. Reopen itunes and sync ipad
    7. The ipod photo cache rebuilds itself

  • IPad and Aperture Photo Organization

    I've searched these forums but I haven't been able to find a suitable answer to my question. I recently "upgraded" from iPhoto to Aperture 3 for my digital photo library. I rearranged all of my projects in Aperture (Events in iPhoto) and I'm fairly happy with the way I can view them in that program. Unfortunately, when I purchased my new iPad and imported all my photos they seem to be in some random order that I can't figure out. The "Event" order on the iPad seems to mimic the order of my "Projects" in Aperture but when I look under the "Photos" tab, the photos are not in chronological order or in any order that I can determine. I find it very hard to locate a specific picture this way since I have around 10,000 photos. I did not have this problem on my iPhone when I synchronized using iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Thanks in advance.

    I have just had a frustrating time trying to work out what the iPad sync is doing with my 20,000+ aperture library - and I think I have worked out what it is doing - all albums ticked for sync in itunes are sorted in the iPad according to the date of creation of the album, and ditto for projects
    which is a real pain - so now I have to abandon viewing these 1000s of pics on the iPad by project, and just use albums, BUT then I need to make new albums in the various folders into which I sort my Aperture albums, (with extra dummy ones where I might in future need one, or this late-made album will appear at the bottom of my iPad album list!) especially for iPad syncing, being a subset of all my albums, because even with 64 gb I don't have enough space for all my pics of course, and copy the contents of the old ones into the new ones
    and I plan to make all such new albums names: "i whatever" and plan to only tick these for syncing with my iPad
    comments welcome from others who have sussed this or think I have it wrong

  • Ipad and managing photos

    I am really trying to like the apple system for managing and editing photos but every time I try to use iphoto, itunes and photos on the ipad to do something relaitvely simple, I hit a brick wall. Searching various discussion groups often give hope but more often shows many, many ,many people are having the same frsutrations as I am. Does apple have the slightest concern about the actual requirements of its user base?
    I am using an ipad 1 (5.1.1) and a macbook pro (snow leopard). On the ipad, I have laoded soem photos from a camera sd card and arranged them into albums.
    What I want to do is to import them into iphoto on the MBP and add captions (using Preview as an external editor) and then put them back into the same albums (replacing the original photos) on the ipad. This sort of thing can be done quickly, easily and almost without thinking on a pc.
    When I load the photos form the ipad into iphoto, it splatters them who knows where and loses all album structure.
    (As a side problem, once the download to iphoto has been done and I eject my ipad, I cannot reconnect my ipad to the MBP without rebooting the MBP  - only apple knows why).
    When I compare the photos shown as imported from my ipad in iphoto with the photos shown  in the "All Imported" album on the ipad, both lists contain 160 photos but some are different. Why?
    I want to be able to order my photos on my ipad so that they appear in reverse data order. I can't do this basic simple thing. Why not?
    Are there any apple afficionados out there who can set me straight and show me that apple is flexible enough to do what I want, or is it the case of do it apple's way or not at all?
    PS please don't suggest updating to later versions of the OS as from other discussions, the problems I have a certainly not solved by later versions and are probably exacerbated by them.

    When you delete a photo from the camera roll it is deleted from any albums that contain it.  This is because the albums don't contain actual photos; they only contain links to the photo in the camera roll.  When the cameral roll photo is deleted, the link to it is removed form any albums as well.
    Also, photos only remain in my photo stream for 30 days, and if you delete a photo stream photo from your device it is also deleted from iCoud and all other devices.
    Photos added to a shared stream will remain in iCloud indefinitely, the will be at a lower resolution than the original.  And the shared stream album will also remain on your phone.
    For all these reasons, you can really use iCloud to archive your photos and free up space on your device.  Instead, import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you want to be able to still view them, get a Flikr account (or similar) so you can view them as a gallery from the web.

  • IPad and iPhone photos/folders disappear in Aperture 3

    Hello all,
    As my subject line states I'm having problems with my photos/videos and their folders disappearing in Aperture 3. I can import them without problem via Aperture's built in import feature. I created a folder called iPhone and one called iPad and then import into the appropriate folders.
    My problem occurs when I close Aperture. When I reopen my folders and all the projects/photos are gone. This has happened to me to numerous times. It does not occur with the other folders/projects that I have in my library.
    I am using the latest aperture update and OSX 10.6.8. All of my IOS are up to date as well and not jail broken. With regards to the photos/videos on my ipad they are mostly ones transferred to my ipad via the camera connection kit.
    Thanks for any help or insight you can give.

    These are user-to-user forums, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (posting it on public forums can lead to spam).
    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad.  Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.
    In terms of editing them, on iOS 6 I get an Edit button at the top left of the screen which gives me some edit options at the bottom of the screen : rotate, enhance, red-eye, crop. The edited version will then be saved to the Camera Roll album, the original photo is left untouched.  There are also third-party photo editing apps e.g. Photoshop Express (which is free with some in-app options) - they will also save the edited version to the Camera Roll album, the original photo will be left unaltered.

  • Photos on iPhone not Showing on iPad and no photos in events Help

    Synching has been working. I have not altered any settings but now photos not sharing also photos not showing in events.

    Go to iCloud Prefs on your iPhone / iPad and turn off the contact syncing, it will ask if you want to erase your contacts from your device, say yes. After that, turn it on again and just wait until all your contacts sync again.
    That worked for me!

  • Why are photos showing on my iPad and iPhone photo streams but not my mac's photo stream

    I've taken a load of photos on my phone and have placed them in an album within my photo stream, they are now showing up on my iPad but not on my mac which is where i really want them. I've tried turning the wifi on and off again, I've tried turn the devices off and on again. nothing is working! all i want is my work backed up! can anyone help me please?!

    Hello BeccaBatte,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below to help resolve this issue with Photo Stream.
    I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
    Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
    If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
    If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • HT204053 How can I login to icloud and retrieve photos and contacts?

    I am not sure if I understand icloud. If we backup and have storage shouldn't we
    be able to look into the storage to retrieve items?  Help?
    Sunshinedays99

    iCloud does two things independently.
    1) Syncs data (contacts, calendars, tasks, bookmarks etc.) between the iCloud servers and your devices and computers setup with iCloud. Most of this data you can log-in at icloud.com and look at, edit or whatever.
    2) iOS device backups, which you can use to restore your data to a new iOS device or a newly restored device. You can't see this data, as it is only used for device the backup and restore process. Nor can individual items be restored.

  • Storing and retrieving Photos

    Storage help. I have previous years photos on my external drive and have removed them from my imac drive. I would like to view my old photos but it takes for ever to import them from the external drive. Is there any better way of doing this.
    Thanks. Chris.

    I'm concluding that the photos on the external drive are NOT in an iPhoto library. That being the case, you need to create a second library (on your external drive). Import them once. Afterwards, all you need to do is select that library.
    Hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto. You will see a menu that allows you to either create a new library or select an existing one from a choice of as many as you have previously created. Note: If you then quit iPhoto and subsequently re-open it without the Option key, it will continue to open the most recently selected library.

  • HT1386 I have sync an ipad with a new computer and the photos have been transfered into files with no extensions. I can view them on the ipad but canot view and delete from the computer.

    I have synced a new computer with the ipad and the photos have been transferred as a file with no exstention. I cannot view them on the computer but can on the ipad.

    Well I forget the exact keys, but believe pressing and holding down CTRL before clicking Restore will allow you to browse and find the backup file (may be wrong).
    In the end, as far as the iPhone thinks, it is a new computer so it will erase and resync stuff and as long as you loaded everything back into iTunes all should sync back. Main issue is other stuff like the data within the apps, notes, etc that are part of the backup which is why you would want to try to restore from the backup. If you don't mind losing data in apps (eg: do you care you have to relog into some apps and start over, don't care about game scores, etc) then you don't have to worry about the backup. If you have important data in some of those apps then you will need to restore from the backup.

  • Photo operations between iPad and PC

    I'm a PC guy who has just purchased an iPad for travel.  Here's what I want to be able to do:
    Take pictures with my iPhone or Canon.
    Move those pictures to the iPad.
    Edit the pictures on the iPad.
    Add keywords to the pictures.
    After the trip, move the pictures to the PC.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Ordered the camera connection kit which should allow me to copy pictures off the camera onto the iPad
    Purchased the Photo transfer App which permits me to copy pictures from the iPhone to the iPad and from the iPad to the PC.
    Keywords appear to be out of my reach.  I know iPhoto supports them, because I found that feature on my wife's Mac.  But iPhoto for iPad does not appear to allow you to add, view or search by keywords.  Is that correct?
    I'm a little concerned about what the iPad is doing to the photo files.  Using iTunes, I downloaded several albums from Photoshop Elements onto the iPad and using Photo Transfer, I attempted to send one of these photos back to the PC.  I compared the original photo with the photo that made the round trip and found that:
    It had been renamed.
    The keywords that I had attached to the photo in either Windows 7 or Elements had been stripped from the file but properties like Date Taken were preserved.
    The dimensions were preserved (3456 x 2304) but the file had shrunk from 2.52 MB to 1.46 MB.  Some of that can be accounted for by the stripping of keywords, but that would represent hundreds of bytes, not over a megabyte.  What went missing?
    Any ideas on how to apply and/or preserve keywords on the iPad?

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
    On your Canon camera, you may have to do this to import pics from the camera. Switching from Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) [Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.] to Mass Storage Device Mode or vise versa on the camera.

  • TA22652 I purchased a new iPad and my daughter uses my iPad. On my account her email address appears. How can I get my account back?

    I purchased a new iPad and my old iPad went to my daughter. I have a problem though in that my iTunes account has been taken over by her email address. If I want to redeem a voucher on my account her email address appears. How do I correct this?

    Did you take a backup in between taking the photos and deleting them ? If you did then try restoring to that backup (you will need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do the Photos app) and they should be put back.
    Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    When you create new albums directly on your iPad and 'copy' photos into them you are effectively just creating pointers to the orginal photos, you aren't creating copies of the photos - so if you then delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to and therefore be removing it from all albums that you've copied it into (you should have got a warning when deleting the photo that that would happen).

  • All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore

    All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore.
    Does anyone know what's going on? TIA

    PhotoStream is a convenient way to have photos available on multiple devices but it is not a long term storage or backup site for photos. There is a limit to the number of photos that will be kept on your photostresm and a 30 limit for photos. If you haven't already done so back up your photos to your computer.
