Updated to iOS6, a week later, photos disappeared and photostream/iPhoto stopped syncing.

I updated my 4s to iOS 6, and my photos were fine.  A week later, and my photos have disappeared, though the album names are there.  (I don't have access to a PC, so I can't use the iExplorer trick to find the photo files.)
All of my photos exist on my photostream on my iPad, but the photostream is not syncing on my iPhone.  (Yes, the photostream is turned on on both devices.)
In addition, many of the photos were backed up with iPhoto, and iTunes says 44 of them shoudl be synced with my phone--but they are not syncing either.
My OS is not up to date on my Mac (I know, I know, but I deleted the app store and am too lazy to update) so I can't access my photostream on my computer.
I created a "shared" photostream with every photo from my photostream, and only 40 of 1000 photos (the one taken by my iPad rather than my iPhone)  have appeared on my iphone in this shared photostream.
Questions:
1.  How do I access the photo files on my iphone, given I don't have a PC? Or is a shared photostream the best option?
2.  How do I get my photostream to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my phone and iPad settings say it should already be syncing? 
3.  How do I get iPhoto to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my computer setttings say it should already be syncing?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

    I connected my iphone 4s that I unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. It told me it needed 8 hours. I closed my laptop, not shut down. I re-opened the laptop a few hours later, and it wants restoring?? Whats going on?! i want my iphone back! PLEASE HELP. I'M LOST!!! (I synced my iphone to my computer if that helps at all).

    Yes, and, I try to restore. I have the T-Mobile sim card in it just to clarify. It will not let me get passed that, it does not accept the t-mobile sim card. i tried restoring it using wifi, cellular, and i cant get i tunes. I am scared that if i take the tmobile sim card out and put the at&t one in just to complete the restoration process that the iphone will lock again and not read the tmobile sim card, then all my hard work has gone for nothing. ( this whole process was caused by me trying wanting to empty my pictures onto my computer because i did not have any storage space left). <--- that may not be as important, but i included it just because.

    Hi Urs
    I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
    I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
    When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
    Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
    Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
    It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
    The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
    The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
    My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
    I hope this info is a little help for you!!
    Let me know if this works for you, ok?
    Best regards,
    Wolfgang

    Updating the OS will not remove any apps, so you need to check out what went wrong there.
    Where did you get iPhoto from? Is that a recent Mac? If so you can re-download it from the App Store. It'll be on your Purchases list.

    Anyone else with this problem?  Do you have a solution?
    iCloud is not a option due to limited WIFI access.

  • Photos not appearing in iphoto after sync

    Some of my imported photos from my iPhone 4 are not showing up in iPhoto.  The import was successful and I deleted them from my phone when prompted.  Could they be somewhere else on my computer?

    I have the similar issue with iPad 2. I initially could view all the photos on the photo gallery via iphoto app, but from a few weeks back I cannot see all the photos shown on the photo gallery via the iphoto app for ipad. I have also got issues with albums created on the photo app which are showing pics from different albums all merged on the iphoto view page. Could someone help?

  • Why has my iphone 4 and ipad 2 stopped syncing photos on my pc?

    Both my iphone 4 and my ipad 2 will not load photos onto my laptop.  I've gone in and made sure everything was setup on both devices, I've gone into icloud on my laptop and made sure it was setup to put them in a specific folder.  But still none of the photos have been backed since the update that happened in October.  Extremely frustrating.

    If you changed the default folder for photo stream photos you might want to uncheck photo stream on the icloud control panel, then recheck it without changing the default location then take a new photo on your device and see if it syncs now.  (Some users have reported problems when they changed the default location.)

  • Duplicate Pictures Photo Library and an iPhoto Album

    I was trying to get some photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. I created a folder in iPhoto called "iPhone sync" and copied some pictures there. Then I selected iPhoto and that folder to sync in iTunes. Now I have the same pictures in "Photo Library" and the "iPhone Sync" folder (that I created) on my iPhone Photo Albums. Sorry I'm so dense, but how can I:
    1. Get photos from iPhoto to the iPhone "Photo Library" without creating the new folder in iPhoto with which to sync - so I don't have two albums with the same pictures in them on my iPhone and,
    2. How do I get rid of the "iPhone Sync" folder I created without also deleting the iPhone Photo Album?
    Thank you

    This is normal, which cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred from your computer and iPhoto to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
    The photos in the iPhoto album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated. Just as with iPhoto - all photos in all iPhoto albums are stored in your main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be in an iPhoto album unless the photo is available in your main iPhoto library, and a photo in your main iPhoto library can be in multiple iPhoto albums. The photos in the iPhoto albums are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in your main iPhoto library.
    If you select multiple iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos in all albums are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This way you can view all photos available in an album only by selecting the album under the Photo Library on your iPhone, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    iTunes is the same. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your iTunes library, and a song in your iTunes library can be available in multiple playlists. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated. This way you can listen to the songs in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to all songs in all playlists and/or available in your iTunes library by selecting Music.

  • Library disappeared and 'unauthorized' computer to sync ipod

    when i open itunes, all of my library has disappeared and then when i plug in my ipod it says that it is connected to another computer (even though it isn't) and so i'm  not allowed to sync it without erasing my ipod. please help? thanks

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Photo Stream and my iPhoto Library

    When a photo shows up on my MacBook Pro or iMac and it says Photo Stream next to the photo name can I be confident it is saved to my library and won't be dropped by iCloud when I exceed 1000 photos or 30 days?

    Thanks for the response.  Now, I have several differenat feeds to my library (iPhone synch, digital camera download and Photo Stream).  It can get confusing as to which was the source for a given picture.  A few pictures automatically say Photo Stream in the title along with the date.  Can I assume these are photos that came from Photo Stream, and therefore should be moved to an album?

  • Majority of my contact photos disappear and I have to re-add them.

    I have assigned photos of family/friends to my contacts.  Some of them stay, but the majority of them disappear.  I sync them to Backup Assistant Plus, but they still disappear.  How can I keep them from disappearing?

    It's been a while since I done the switch from B.A. to Google but I think that would work.. as I mention you can make adjustments to your contacts once you set them up with Google you can add Birthdays and other things like that you want to add.. what changes you make to the Contact on the Gmail site will update your phone it works really well once you get it going I done mine back in 2010.!
