Where are my photos from my old phone? They were backed up in iCloud.

I got a new iPhone 4S and my old photos were backed up on the icloud. Now I cannot find them on my new phone (same model), but under "manage storage" in settinngs, it shows both my old phone and my new phone data. Please help me access my old photos!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to restore from your old back up.
Settings > general > reset > erase all settings and content, choose to restore from iCloud when prompted, make sure you choose the right back up.

  • HT4859 restored my iphone 5 from iCloud back up. All my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I get them back?

    I recently got my iPhone 5 replaced. Before erasing the contents on my old iPhone 5 I backed up to iCloud. When I restored all my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I recover?

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

    Hi Hannah,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Restore from an iCloud backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
    Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
    Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
    Select the backup you created earlier.
    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    Use iTunes
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

  • I recently backed up my iPhone using iCloud and now can not get my camera roll onto my new iPhone or my Mac.  Did I lose all the photos from my old phone?

    I recently picked up a new iPhone6.  Before i handed in my old phone(iphone5), I backed it up using iCloud.
    Now I can't seem to get the photos from my old camera roll onto my new phone or my Mac.  Did I lose all
    the photos from my old phone?

    1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
    2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
    4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

  • I can't bluetooth my photos from my old phone to my iphone 4. i have paired the devices but my iphone wont accept the data. Please can you help??

    I am trying to send all of m photos to my iphone from my old phone (Nokia N97 mini). I have paired the devices, the iphone says it is connedted but when i try to transfer the data from the Nokia, i get a message saying could not connect.
    Please can you help??
    Thanks

    File transfer by bluetooth is not supported on the iPhone. There are a few apps in the app store that permit the transferring of photos by bluetooth, but this is only iPhone to iPhone. Fact is, you can't do what you're trying to do, so you can quit trying.

  • How can I get photos from my old phone to new phone?

    I Have been trying to move photos from my 4s to my 5s and don't know how to move these via icloud as want to give my old phone away

    Add them to a shared stream as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.  You don't need to invite any subscribers; when asked to enter an email address, just tap Next to skip it (as the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed).  Then open the shared stream on your 5s and save the photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then you can delete the shared stream.
    Also, this is what you should do before giving away your old phone: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • How do i get all my photos from my old phones icloud back up either onto my computer or on my new phone , there saved as two separate back-ups ?

    okay so unfortunately I lost my iphone 4 battery died and everything so was no chance of finding it even with find my iphone , fortunately I backed up every photo to my icloud I know there all there because I accidentally corrupted my phone during an update and restored from the cloud and it brought back all the photos (this was before I lost it) now with my old phone I never had photo stream or synced my phone to my computer so the pictures are just on the icloud . and I know they are there , but since I got my new phone my icloud management shows two backups , my current phone , and my old phone , so all the old pictures are still there , is there anyway of getting these pictures from the icloud either onto my laptop or on my new phone ? thanks

    Have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 for more help. Setup assistant should prompt you for your apple I'd and password then you should be abl to select a backup from iCloud.

  • How to download photos from an old phone to camera...

    Hi there, Got a bit of an issue gaining access to all the old photos off my old Lumia 920.
    Basically when I log into skydrive online using my microsoft email, I can see all the old pictures in the camera roll, however, when I try to access them on my phone, it only shows the pics taken on my new handset, even when I go to the folder marked skydrive photos.
    How would I go about syncing the account to the new phone, as there are times I need the photos but dont have internet.
    Kind regards people

    afaik, the only way to get those pics stored locally on your phone is, downloading them via PC and then copying them to the phone using Windows Explorer.

  • Where are my photos from Iphoto?

    I recently opened Iphoto only to find that all my pictures are no longer there. My Library has gone from 11Gigs to 7 Mbs. I've considered rebuilding my library as suggested on other discussions but have no means of making a back up as I can't locate any of my pictures. I don't understand how or where they would have been relocated on my hard drive as they aren't in the trash either. I have iphoto version 7.6. I have no back up of the pictures and really hope all is not lost.
    The only thing I've done differently recently would be that I was copying files from an event onto my desktop for easy locating during final cut pro editing that I was about to do, I stopped the transfer shortly after I had started it due to the selecting of the wrong event. Closed Iphoto and re-opened it and nothing was there.
    Any help will be appreciated
    Ray

    My Library has gone from 11Gigs to 7 Mbs.
    There are no photos in that Library. Any chance you have a second Library somewhere on your mchine?
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' It will list all the Libraries it finds.
    Regards

  • I got a new iphone and saved my photos from the old phone on icloud. I entered my info on the new phone, but the pictures have been loading for days on my new phone and nothing is happening. Please help!!

    I have over 900 photos for three years that I am unable to access. Is there a way to get photos from Icloud to my computer without using my phone as well??

    Hello lynxfan12,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you say that you saved your photos to iCloud, are you referring to doing an iCloud backup?  If you are attempting to recover from an iCloud backup over Wi-Fi, the process can take a long time to complete.
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
    If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.
    If you need help restoring an iCloud backup

    Take care,

  • Where are my photos from photo stream in iCloud?

    Just transitioned to icloud. I added a photo to photo stream from iphoto and when I go to icloud on my mac I do not see any photos nor do I see an icon for photos like I did in Mobileme? Also, will photostream allow others to upload photos to my "gallery" as it did in mobile me? That was on of the reasons I signed up for mobileme in the first place.

    You can't access photos from www.icloud.com. You can only view them in iPhoto ot Aperure ( or on a PC in your pictures folder ).
    Also, will photostream allow others to upload photos to my "gallery" as it did in mobile me? ..
    No. It is not a gallery, nor does it have sharing options.
