What has iCloud done with my iPhone 5 photos?

I did an iCloud backup of my iphone 5 before doing a clean install of IOS7. Then, I did a restore from the iCloud backup. Got my apps and everything else including my music, but I have only 29 of the dozens and dozens of photos I had on the phone. I did all this 24 hours ago and the number of photos downloaded from the cloud remains at 29. Usage says I have 10.6 GB availavle . Help.

Hi tom4jax,
I imagine that is a very frustrating situation to be in. Hopefully these articles may help clarify what might have happened:
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Photo Stream photos should reappear once you turn the Photo Stream service back on:
Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the images in My Photo Stream are removed from that device. The images in My Photo Stream on your other devices are not affected. Images added to My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you added them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.
Is it possible the 29 photos you have currently are in your camera roll and Photo Stream is not yet turned on?
Take care,
- Ari

What has iCloud done with my photos?

I had to restore my iPhone4 today. I had enabled iCloud already and last night upgraded to the latest ios. The most recent iCloud backup was corrupted but the one from 4 days ago seemed to work when I went to restore it...except for my photos.
I kept checking progress. The last time I checked it said it was loading back photo/video 145 of 176. When I next looked it said it had finished, but I only have 1 video and 26 photos! Where have the others gone? They were all on camera roll which iCloud supposedly backs up. What happened between supposedly downloading the 145th and finishing? Any and all help appreciated. I want my photos back. I've turned iCloud off now as I want to be able to do the back up again but I'm too nervous to try at the moment.
It's obvious I'm not the only one with this problem but there doesn't seem to be any real answers out there. Please help!

Did you have photo stream turned on? I can't tell you what happened to the backup of the camera roll... but if photo stream was on, they should still be there.
You should be extracting photos from the camera roll on a fairly regular basis, as you would with any digital camera.

What has it done with my email?

I reinstalled my OS this weekend and when loading back up it said I had to have an email to use icloud now (I used to just have a short name which was used for mac store etc)
So I duely gave it my gmail one.
Now I cannot sign into my icloud mail. It says I have to create an email for it??
Well I tried putting in my me.com one. It says I cannot have that as its already taken. I know, its mine. But I cannot fathom what has gone wrong.
icloud knows its me for this gmail one, all my contacts have transferred etc, but it won't let me have my me.com or mac.com email addy because it thinks that belongs to someone else even though it belongs to me.
I really don't want to loose them emails, but am at a loss as to what to do.

Sign in with your @me.com address in System Preference>iCloud. (Remove the other ID first if necessary.)

What has iPhoto done with my my movies?

Hi,
I uploaded my photos and movies onto iPhoto 11 but the movies have 'disappeared'; they don't show up at all, and I can't access them. Please help as I deleted them from my SD card!

Thanks for sharing. If you're looking for assistance you're going to need to offer a lot more information than that.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

What has TimeMachine done with my Mail?

Just done a clean install of Maverick to clean out all the rubbish and so far has gone great.
BUT, trying to restore Mail have hit a bit of a brick wall!!!
I have been running TM for ever, and have nothing excluded from the backups, I have never had any problems but now when I try and restore my mailboxes can't find them.
When I go into TM from Mail it shows the current situation but will not scroll back through time.
If I go into TM from Finder and use Shift Command G to get to the search function and search for ~/library/mail I get the "Folder not found message".
I presume this means that TM has not been backing up the mailboxes, is that right?
I also made a full disk clone before I started, does anybody know if I can extract the mailboxes from that without reverting the whole machine back to my pre-install state and starting again?

Humble Pie Time!!!!!!!
Guess who was looking in the system Library on TimeMachine instead of the User's Library.
Goes away very red faced )-:

What the heck is Tuvaro and what has it done with my usual Firefox?

Yesterday, whenever I went to my usual Firefox icon, I got something opening up called Tuvaro. It won't let me toggle between my two email accounts and automatically goes back to whichever account I was using, making it impossible to even open the other account. This is a problem as they are both work accounts. In order to open the other, I have to turn off the computer and start over again, EVERY time I want to open the 'other'.
I love my Firefox and have no idea what this new stuff is or why it suddenly showed up on my computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community Axel.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

My Mac's iCal has stopped syncing with my iPhone, Macbook and iPad?

My Mac has stopped syncing with my iPhone and MacBook Pro. System preferences setting for iCloud has iCal selected in all devices. Interestingly, my iPad is showing all chat messages between me and other people when I am using my iPhone. This started about the time that iCal started misbehaving. May or may not be related.

"app.selection[0]" – what can be done with it? (CS5)/(CS6)(JS)

This is hopefully not a simple question – because then the answer would probably be 'no'/'nothing else'.
What can be done with a selection? Is it posible to sort out the different contents within a selection, declare variables around them or give them names, and then continue from there?
I have one specific idea here. I want to select two things – one is a group, and the other is a non-grouped object, and then include that object in the original group. No – not the same as selecting them and simply grouping them, that could be done by hand. I want to include an object in a previously set group without creating another one.
It has to do with a plugin used for creating apps for mobile devices. Creating another group out of the group + item makes all previous settings assigned to the original group dissapear. Not sure if the plugin will accept this method, but it's worth a try.

Hm. This now is pure speculation on my side, 'cause you are not telling much about the plugIn that has to do with app creation.
From my knowledge of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, and I cannot assume that you are using the DPS plugIns "Folio Builder" and "Overlay Creator", I can only guess, that you applied something like an effect (in terms of DPS an "overlay" function) to a group and afterwards grouping anew with a different object to a new group. Then the overlay is burried in that group and will not work as you expected.
I never asked myself if it will damage an applied "overlay", if the object is grouped with something that has an different "overlay" effect or no "overlay" effect at all. But I will test for that situation…
After re-reading your question you like to add the same "overlay" effect of the original group to the new group or adding a new object to the group so the effect is not lost.
In case you are working with DPS, the overlay effects are "injected" with a method you can compare directly with the JavaScript method insertLabel("KeyString","ValueString") and will stick to the object until the values are changed or the object (your group) will not exist any more (by un-grouping).
So please, tell us something more about your workflow…
It's not that easy to add an existing object to a group without un-grouping and re-grouping. And this will destroy the "injected" Key/Value-pairs of the effect.
Here is something to think about (read the whole discussion):

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?
