Where do I find my photos after iOS 6 update?

I have just updated my 4th Gen iPod touch to iOS 6, possibly the first update since I got it! Unfortunately, I was unaware of the need to back up photos etc. before update - now they've all disappeared! I've read online of this occuring a lot, and I think I've got to the stage that they're just out of reach!
I'm in Settings>General>Usage>Photos & Camera.  For Camera Roll and Library there is 0 bytes, however down the bottom in the blue/grey bar it says '5.8GB available on Evan's iPod Touch' (the name of the iPod prior to update). However, I have no idea where they are or how to access them - please help!
Thanks,
Evan.

Sorry Evan that you have had trouble with the update.
Truth is, I have yet to update my 4th gen iPod Touch to iOS 6, so I don't know what will happen to mine, when I do.
Looking online, there seems to be a few issues, though it seems a vast majority of 4th gen owners had no problems at all with the upgrade.
Of course, none of this helps you with your problem, but hopefully this will: Did you ever connect your iPod Touch to iTunes on your computer? Generally, if you do, iTunes will automatically back up your iPod Touch. If you had turned on wireless syncing, then iTunes will make a backup whenever you plug your iPod Touch into a power source. To see the backup, go to iTunes. Go to Preferences and then in the resulting dialog box select "Devices." The last backup should be there. If you have one, it would be in the device backup list, in your case, as "Evan's iPod Touch." The backup would include all your photos in the camera roll.
If the backup is there, then you should be able to connect your iPod Touch to your computer, with iTunes open and then select restore from back up to get everything back on to your iPod Touch.
Check out this support article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
If I were you, I might consider making a backup of your "Evan's iPod Touch" backup file by finding it (the support article above shows you where it is) and copying it and pasting it to the desktop. Then if all fails, you would have that.
Of course, if you enabled Time Machine you would already have that backup file. If you have a clone of your computer through Carbon Copy Cloner, or Super Duper, you would have a backup of that backup file.
Sorry! Can you tell that I am obsessed with backups? Not a bad thing as devices fail and backups are a good thing.
Of course, this is all moot if you computer does not recognize your iPod Touch. A couple of things to try: First hard reset your iPod Touch by holding in the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for 15 to 20 seconds. Next, try connecting your iPod Touch to a different USB port on your computer. Sometimes, just doing that gets the thing recognized. This has worked for me.
If all fails, then take it to Apple, and look very, very sad and be nice. Techs at the Genius bar have been very nice to me and fixed the last problem I had with one of my devices, a 5th generation iPod.
As for your photos. If you have iCloud and had enabled Photostream, then your lastest 1000 photos would be in the cloud. Yes? I hope so. If not.. hmm...
You could try a third party app such as Phone View to see if you can see what is on your iPod Touch. Such an app may well be able to pull the photos off your iPod Touch before you have to resort to restoring it and losing the photos.
Hope something here helps you solve the problem and allows you to get back to happy days with your device.
Best wishes.
-Charlotte

    Just one little addition to add to Kirby's spot-on answer: Are you worried, if you will still have access to your photos after the trial licence expired? Without a valid Aperture licence you will still be able to access the original master image files, but not to the edited versions. From what Kirby Krieger told you, it is clear that you will have access to referenced master image files, located outside the library. If your library is managed you can access the master files inside the Aperture Library Package by ctrl-clicking the Aperture Library and selecting: "Show Package contents". The original master image files are located inside the folder "Masters". Here is what my Aperture Library Package looks like:

    Here to help shed some additional light on this case, jdondr. I also own a Maxx. With your phone, if you access the Gallery, there should be a folder named: Messaging.  If you look at the upper left hand corner, you should see a drop down box. Is it currently set to Albums?

  • This may sound silly but where do i find my attachments after i download them

    may sound silly but where do i find my attachments after i download them

    What attachments are you talking about? Do you mean the files and or photos you receive in emails?
    Mail loads the attachments and they should appear in the body of the email. Some can be viewed by tapping on them. If you have a compatible app you can save them to the appropriate app. An example might be a Word document. If you have an app that edits Word docs like Pages or some other app, tapping on the attachment will bring up a choice to open in Pages.

  • I imported vacation photos, got the color wheel and did a force quit. Now I can't find any of those photos, and of course I deleted them from the SD card when I imported them. Where can I find those photos?

    I imported vacation photos from my cameras SD card and deleted them when the import was complete. Then I moved them from Events into an Album. When trying to move 2 photos as once to another album I got the color wheel and locked up. I did a force quit but when I go back into iPhoto none of the recently imported photos appear - not in Events, the album, trash, etc. Where can I find those photos?

    Individual photos are not accessilble in the backup. You should be extracting photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.

    where can i find my photos from my iphone if i dont have any backups?

    Photo Stream, if they were uploaded to it within the last 30 days. Assuming you no longer have the phone or it's not working, that's it. If you didn't back them up, they're gone.

  • Where can i find my photos that are on my phone, are they saved to i tunes?

    where can i find the photos on my phone, should they not be saved on i tunes?

    Photos are not saved in your iTunes library.  You can use iTunes to sync photos from your computer to your phone, but they are stored on your hard drive.  Camera roll photos are contained in your iPhone backup, but not in as way that allows you to view them; they are only backed up so your phone can be restored later, if necessary.  You should import your photos to your computer as you would with any digital camera, as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
