Why are my pictures not on my iPhone 4s after I restored using iCloud?

After buying a new iPhone 4s and setting it up using iCloud as the restore option, none of my pictures or videos are on my new phone

I had the same problem, after a long discussion with Apple one of their engineers came up with the bright idea of restoring from the original backup via WiFi rather than connecting to iTunes by USB. This should give you a pretty good idea as to whether the photos are there in your backup file, as for instance it said uploading 22 of 863 photos for me, left it overnight to restore from backup via WiFi, restarted the iPhone in the morning and all of my photos had been restored. I have since backed up all photos to a very helpful Dropbox "Camera Uploads" update.
To restore from iCloud via WiFi, on your device:
Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Wait for the device to restart, input Time and Date Settings and Connect to WiFi.
Log in using your Apple ID and select Restore from iCloud Backup. (Ensure it is the iCloud backup with all relevant photos).
Leave device to Restore overnight and restart in the morning!

Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
(The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

Why are my pictures taken with my iphone not syncing to iphoto

Up untl a few months ago, I was able to sync the pictures and videos I took using my iphone to iphoto on my mac. This is no longer the case. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this. I even tried to go the image capture settings, but there are no options on the left for me to choose from. Help me, please. Thanks in advance.

Why are my pictures not saving on new ipad running iOS7

Latest iPad running previous or new iOS and pictures are not appearing in camera role or albums. Some photos on there but definitely not working when using home button and pwr button to take screen shot.
I remember there being problems with flattened jail broken devices but theoretically this cannot be the case as a brand new iPad.
Is this a known problem in the modern day or an iOS7 fault, any input welcome

Lost all my default Calendars on iPhone 4S after trying to use iCloud - HELP!

Hi all,
Recently updated my iPhone 4S to IOS7.1.1 software. In short, I was trying to create a shared calendar to use with my man, who just got a new iPhone. Found out you could only share a calendar using iCloud (I've never used iCloud before).
So went into the iCloud settings on my phone and toggled to active the iCloud calendars. In doing so all of my "default calendars" created on the iPhone directly, have been completely removed. There used to be an option in my Calendars called "From My PC" but that option is now gone and only replaced with the blank iCloud calendars.
I was under the impression new iCloud calendars would appear for me to create / edit, as well as also have my exisiting calendars, this is not the case. All of my calendars on the phone are now gone and only blank ones remain, even after deleting iCloud completely.
I have not ever used iCloud before, nor have I synced my calendars with my PC, the calendars on my phone were all done directly on the phone. No copy or backup available.
Please tell me someone out there can help me retrieve these directly from the phone?? (No backups are available). Can I reset my phone to yesterday? Prior to the software install??? ANY HELP PLEASE....
Lesa.

If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

Why are my pictures not on icloud

when i go onto icloud.com and log in i have access to every other item other than pictures, why is that? and where are they? i would like to download them to my hard drive & delete from icloud but i cant find them please help
i sync via wifi not via itunes / cable ect.
thanks

Hey tiki2011,
These bullet points list the locations where you can view your iCloud Photo Stream. iCloud.com isn't one of those locations, so I would look at these options to see which one fits your needs:
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Your photos will appear in the My Photo Stream album in the Photos app. If you're using iOS, you can find your photos by tapping the Photo Stream tab, then tapping the My Photo Stream album. In iOS 5, your photos are in the Photo Stream album.
Mac: Your photos appear in the Shared albums section under iCloud in iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5. In earlier support versions of iPhoto and Aperture, your photos appear in the Photo Stream section. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album.
PC using Windows 8.1: From the Start screen, click the down arrow Down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud Photos app.
PC using Windows 8: From the Start screen, select iCloud Photos (or Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.12).
PC using Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button, then click Pictures. Click iCloud Photos or Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.
Apple TV: After signing in with your iCloud account, you can view your photos by choosing iCloud Photos or Photo Stream from the main menu (or selecting Internet > Photo Stream in Apple TV Software Update 5.0).

How do I access the cloud and moreover, why are my pictures not on my Itunes, even though they're backed up on the cloud?

In trying to sync my Iphone 4, I noticed that none of my pictures are not my Itunes, even though they've been backed up on the Cloud. My Itunes also states that I'm over my space by .4 GB although my phone says i still have 2.7 GB of space left. I'd like to delete my pics off my phone, but not until I know they're backed up properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

photos taken on your iphone and show up in photostream on your ios device can be automatically downloaded to your computer.
if you have a mac, the photos in photostream automatically download into your iphoto application
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
if you have a pc, the photos in photostream can automatically be downloaded into a folder called "photostream" in your photos folder on windows.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
you no longer are required to ever hook up your ios device to your computer to extract photos again (you will have to if you want to get videos off of your iphone). Simply connect your computer to the internet at least once a month, and all photostream photos will download into the proper place (outlined in the above links).

Why are my pictures not showing up in Photo Stream?

Ok, I have set up upgraded everything to the correct versions. I have set up and enabled Photo Stream on my iMac and on my iPhone. I have enabled Photo Stream on the iPhone. I have set up my iCloud services. I can drag pictures to the Photo Stream app, but when I take pictures they do not appear in Photo Stream. What am I doing wrong?

I found the problem. AS it turns out, when I created my iCloud account I eneded up creating a NEW ID. The process is a little bit confusing and it is apparently easy to get one ID on the iCloud on your iMac and another on your iPhone. This is what I had done. It was a simple matter of signing out of iCloud on the Mac and then signing back in wiht my original Apple ID (the one on the iPhone) once I signed backin, pictures starte appearing in the Photo Stream. Easypeasy!

Why are declined events NOT showing on iPhone iOS7 (setting is marked to "on")

Apparently I and some of my colleagues are having the OPPOSITE issue from most.
We are syncing with Google Calendar.
We have set "Show Declined Events" to ON
Declined Events are NOT showing on iCal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Richey

I noticed this too. I have a Google Apps for Business account through work.
This happens when I have Gmail configured as ActiveSync. But when using CalDAV - it isn't a problem. Does anyone have a solution or more informaiton on this topic?

TS1702 Why are my apps not updating

Why are my updates not working for my apps.

Unless you're using iTunes on your computer to update, you should update only one app at a time. If you have a bunch of apps in "Waiting" state, click all them to get them to "Paused". Then, one at a time, click one to get it to Downloading, then Installing, and finally Open. Then repeat on the next app, etc.

goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

Why are my pictures grainy (not clear)?

why are my pictures grainy?

The resolution of the cameras on the iPad are very low, something like 1 meg, and they are mainly for things like Facetime. If you have very good light then you may get acceptable photos from it, but you are probably better off using a digital compact or even your phone for photos
