iPhone iOS 6 deleted photos

Are you sure he has no backup? What OS was he using before he updated? Chances are iTunes or iCloud will have backed up fairly recently.

I don't think the 'other' data will be your photos but I can't be certain.

That happened to me as well when I first upgraded. Hopefully if you give it a little time they'll resurface.

Please tell me you (at least) had an iCloud backup?

the same thing happend to me just now. i downloaded ios6 and half my photos got deleted. but i was connected on itunes so i did "restore from backup" and the pictures came back. did you download ios6 through wireless or itunes? if you got it through itunes then itunes must have taken a backup before installing it. in that case you can restore it.

I did exactly the same and thought I'd lost all photos. will back up weekly in future!!!! I found the photos though!!! Plug his phone into computer and when the box comes up to either look at files or other tasks click on import videos and photos.(This is not within itunes it is on the normal screen) All mine have reappeared now and are now on computer.

I've tried to attach an image of the screen; whether it works or not who knows!?!?!

Hope it works for you x

Here's the print screen of the box.

No, he did it through the wi-fi directly onto his phone!

Some people really shouldn't be allowed to use technology!

Could you try iExplorer?

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.

----------

First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.

I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.

From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.

There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC

Hope this helps.

Hi!
I had the same problem. Called Apple twice and no help whatsoever. Someone mentioned this already, but just wanted to tell you that when I plugged my phone into my computer to download the photos, they all downloaded, even though the phone said there were none. Also I used iphone explorer like someone mentioned above for my voice memos and same thing - they all downloaded even though the phone said there were none on there. Voice memos has always been screwed up for me though - I usually have to use iphone explorer. Anyway, maybe try uploading as normal and see if that works, or use iphone explorer. Iphone explorer would maybe work for photos and videos too.
Good luck!

I had this same problem when updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 today. Found this thread and it was helpful, however, iExplorer requires you to buy a license to recover the photos which costs $34.99. Found another free alternative for Mac or Windows, iFunBox. Worked like a charm and I didn't have to grab my wallet.

When u click on photos, look down the bottom of the screen and you'll see the photo stream button .

Here is guide to Recover Videos, Photos, Contacts from iOS 6 iPad 3/iPad 2/iPhone 4/4S/3GS

You can recover data directly from device or from iTunes backup.

Wife did the upgrade last night. Guess what.. Lost everything. Lots of pictures of our kids over the past year. Gone...

I stumbled across this thread from a google search. Tried all the suggestions but nothing. The only picture that is on the camera is the 1 she took today. The rest are gone. I tried those programs everyone posted as well. Nothing.

Really Pissed off at Apple right now. My wife isnt the most tech savvy person. They should have posted something about making sure you backup before you update. I dont have these problems with my Droid.

Depending on how important is is for you to recover your photos ...

The solution is already in the replies (#20 above) https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/16971133/

I did use Dr. fone software but it only support 7 types of file recovery which does not contain photo recovery..

this incident happened with me also, last year, wasn't able to recover my photos.
