Why did i lose my photos when i did an update to ios 7.1.1?

This is happening to alot of people.  Apple get it together

No, it is not happening to a lot of people.
Those that are smart enough to backup their important data regularly have no issues at all.
For what silly reason would anyone attempt an update on their device without first ensuring a backup of all the important data on the device existed?
For what silly reason would any intelligent person rely on a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged as sole storage of important data?
Stop being a silly person... take responsibility for ensuring that YOUR data is safe, secure, and backed up.  It is no one's fault but the user if they lose data.

  • Will I lose my photos when upgrading iPhoto after updating to Mavericks?

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and can't access iPhoto and need to upgrade. I currently have 9.3 but I did not back up my library. Will I lose my photos when I upgrade?

    For this you can simply make a copy on the internal drive if you have space - that is enough for an upgrade - but you must have a large external drive and have a continuing backup system if your photos have any value at all to you  - Time Machine is a good start

    Did you use iTunes to sync those photos onto your device? If so then the only way to get them off is to use iTunes to sync them off.
    When you sync them on you choose a folder and say 'put all the photos in here on my iPad', so to take them off you need to deselect that folder or remove photos from that folder and sync to take them off.

    The iPhone 4, which is what you show in your profile, can only run up to iOS 7.1.2. You cannot update that device to iOS 8.1.3, the most current iOS.

    I am also facing the same issue.
    four days back, my power buttton stopped working.
    Then my sim card slot stopped reading like it was stuck at gsm/cdma band.
    Even without simcard it said searching..
    then I changed the power button and antenna strip myself as my iphone5 is uk ee and i live in india.
    Everything was fine and I booted the phone.
    The power button worked like a new device... but the searching problem still remained.
    I hard resetted my phone but to no vail. even Find My phone was not turning off.
    then I forced my phone to recovery mode and downloaded iphone5,2 7.0.2,11A501_restore.ipsw from web and flashed it.
    At the start it recognised and everything was good until the "restoring iphone firmware" was stuck at the end point.
    I tried every trick on net. Even tried to downgrade.. but it was blocked.
    at the last it is either stuck at firmware or itunes unknown error (3)
    Please somebody help me to recover this PAPERWEIGHT to a phone again...

    Sounds like yours could be an iPad 1.
    If so... iOS 5.1.1 is as far as it goes.

    when i do the update of ios 5.1 will it delete my books from ibook from my ipod

    If the device is synced with a computer and all content on the device also exists in the iTunes library on the computer as the device is designed to be used, nothing will be lost.

  • Why did I lose my music when I download and sync a movie

    We're new to ipods and itunes. We had a couple songs on our ipod and wanted to get a movie. It took us awhile to figure out how to sync it, but when we did, we got a message that said it would clear out our other libraries. I should have kept the exact message, but I didn't. I figured, OK, we'll just resync for the music again and went ahead. After resyncing after the movie, I was charged again for the music.
    Now, my son bought new music and synced it, but lost the movie we downloaded. Why does it do that and how can I avoid it?

    OK, read through this : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495?viewlocale=en_US

  • Why did i lose my contacts after ios8.1.1 update?

    why did i lose my contacts after IOS 8.1.1 update?

        @cstigall - Were you able to get your contacts reversed? Sometimes that happens when you share or are logged in to the wrong Apple ID as Gina suggested.
    If you need further assistance, please let us know so we can help out!
    Thank you both, and take care!

  • Why did I lose all my Verizon ring tones after updating to new software?

    Why did. I lose all my Verizon ring tones after updating to new software?  Always worked before, now they are gone!  Contacted Verizon, who could not explain. 

    I was having a similar problem and here's what solved it for me: Under Settings>Notes the default account was changed from iCloud to another account for no apparent reason when I upgraded to iOS 7.  When I changed it back to iCloud, my notes started appearing on all devices again.  You might also want to check the Accounts setting under the Notes app to make sure All Notes is checked to retreive notes from all accounts.  Similarly, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars has a default account that should match as well.  Good luck.
