Upgrade from iPhone 4 to 4S and all photos in Camera Roll went missing

I upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone4S. I did a restored from my last backup before the upgrade and all my photos in my camera roll has disappeared!
What I discover is that it is still stored in the iPhone 4S as it took up 25GB of storage. However, it is not accessible inside the iPhone 4S. The photos are stuck in the iPhone 4S and taken up a lot of storage in the iPhone. Please help!

What I meant was I bought a new iPhone 4S and restored my backup of my old iPhone 4 into iPhone 4S and the camera roll photos that were in the old iPhone 4 did not show up in my iPhone 4S despite occupying space in the iPhone 4S ...

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

Upgrading from PSE5 to PSE9 and Organizing Photos - Help Pls.

Hi everyone,
I've finally got an upgrade to Photoshop Elements - I'm currently using 5.0 and I was given version 9.0 for Christmas... so excited!
I wanted to see if anyone has any advice for upgrading - in some ways, I want to start over from scratch and re-import all of my photos to the organizer. Some photos are duplicated, and some are not showing up at all even though I know they're on the HD and also in the organizer files, but they don't show up in the actual photo thumbnails - very confusing.
I also don't like the chaos I used for tags when I first started taking and editing photos - so I'd like to restart that as well.
Has anyone else recently upgraded Photoshop Elements? Can you start clean, or does it import all of the tags and issues from the previous version you used?
Also - does anyone have any advice for how to actually organize the photos? I keep them on my HD, but I don't know if the volume of photos can or will cause problems. I also back up to an external HD for safekeeping. Any advice on how to store and organize photos would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Julie
When you upgrade to PSE9 the program will automatically offer you the choice of upgrading an earlier catalog.
Simply reject this and you can then start over and import photos and tag them as you like.

Can't see all photos on Camera Roll on laptop

I have a slightly unusual problem with my iPhone. I have downlaoded quite a few camera and photo apps from the app store. All of these work fine on the phone itself and I can view all pictures taken and edited with the various apps on the camera roll on the phone. My problem occurs when I connect my iPhone to my laptop and access it using Windows Explorer. When I do this I can only see the photos taken on some of the apps and not all of them. Photos taken using ClassicPAN, ClassicToy, ShakeItPhoto, Pro HDR, Pano to name a few can't be found. If I want to transfer photos from any of these apps to my laptop I have to email them but I have hundreds of photos so this is not feasible. I have a brand new Samsung laptop so maybe some of the settings are wrong but I don't even khow where to begin looking. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

What visual presentation do the other 900 photos have? A Dotted Square? Do you get a ! or ? when you double click on them?
IF so: The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

APPLE!! iOS 8 photos is bad. Where is "all" photos, aka camera roll?

I'm upset about this. I like Camera Roll. Give me an option to view all photos. I don't just use it for memory lane. I use trying to search today for a screen shot I took of my menswarehouse number. I couldn't find it. It wasn't in recent cause I took it a while ago. I don't know what collection it was cause it was by it's self. When scrolling through the pics, it was very inefficient cause only a few small pics would be there at a time. Collection shows pics too small. There is too much wasted blank space with the new collection sorting. I just want to see all photos, like the "recently added" album, but I want to be able to continue to go back.
APPLE!! upset. SMH

They changed stuff. I haven't updated mine yet to be able to tell you anything but maybe there will be an answer in the manual for you

Upgraded to 8.0.2 on 5. Lost all photos in camera roll and photo stream. I used a recovery tool that shows the photos are still in there 'somewhere' but they want $70 to recover them. Any free methods? I shouldn't have to pay for Apple's screw up!

Also, I did a backup on iTunes before the upgrade but after the upgrade completed, it performed a backup that overwrote the last one I did. At least I think it did, there is only one backup showing up in the MobileSync-Backup folder on my computer. Also, in iTunes on the bottom of the screen, the bar that shows how much storage space is being used by what, its number of pics is several hundred more than the number of pics on my phone. The ones it didn't erase were in a different album that I had uploaded from my computer (ironic that the pics that I didn't lose in the upgrade, I already have copies of on my computer). Anyhow, I used a trial version of recovery program called Wondershare Dr.Fone for ios, and while I'm definately not here to promote them, after it did the scan on my iphone, it showed thumbnails of all the missing photos, along with everything else I'd ever done on my phone lol. So I do know they are in there, I just can't afford to pay $70 to retrieve them, nor do I think I should have to as the upgrade caused them to be missing! Does anyone know of a free recovery tool? I never used iCloud, so that is not an option either.

HT4906 I just upgraded to the new iPhoto and all of my old pictures are missing.

As the title says. If I right click the library and open 'Packages', all of my old photos are in a folder called 'Originals' but do not appear when I open iPhoto. When I try to add them into iPhoto, I get an error telling me that they already exist. Can anyone help me figure out how to get them to appear in iPhoto?
Thanks!

Before disassembling your library apply the two fixes below in order as needed to your library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT3228 I upgraded from iPhone 4 to a 5 and my emails have duplicated. Those I received and read on my Mac this morning have come in again and show unread so I have 2 of all of them. Any idea what setting is causing this?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 and all of my apps EXCEPT one transferred over. Why did this one app not transfer over? Thank you

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you want to copy the photos off your phone (and they weren't originally to your phone from a computer) then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and can't upload from iCloud

I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and I'm got as far as 'restore from iCloud'. And it says iOS 6.1.3. Required. So i went back to freshly backed up iPhone 4 and checked that it had iOS 6.1.3 all ready. There's no updates on settings icon

Personally, when upgrading to a new device and wanting to download from a backup of the older device to set up the new device, I ALWAYS do the backup and restore from my computer's itunes. It's much more reliable than icloud.

I upgraded from 4 to 5s and now I cannot retrieve my photos or contacts, I upgraded from 4 to 5s and now I cannot retrieve my photos or contacts

Did you restore the backup of your iPhone 4 to your 5s? That's how you transfer the settings, data and purchased media to your new phone. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

No. Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup. And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone. Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).
