"How can i recover lost photos from my iPhone 5? I recently restored my iphone while making sure that it was backed up. But as i set the iPhone back up and restored everything, my 900 photos went missing. I only have 93 photos from photo stream and can't find what happened to all the older, deleted photos (not even on my desktop). I'm incredibly pissed and really need help. Thanks!"
iPhone 5 is currently the latest version of iPhone, when you deleted your photos from iPhone 5, the first thing you need to do is to get a iPhone 5 Photo Recovery program to help you recover deleted photos from iPhone 5.
Here, you can turn to Dr .Fone for iPhone 5 which is powerful enough for you to recover photos, videos, contacts, SMS, call logs, memos and calendars, even Safari bookmarks from your iPhone 5. Besides, It can also work with iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and iPod Touch 4.
Tips: If you need to recover deleted photos from iPhone 5 on Mac, you can turn to Dr .Fone for Mac
There are two ways offered for you to recover deleted photos from iPhone 5,one is to scan and recover photos from iPhone, and the other is to scan and extract iTunes backup to recover iPhone photos.
First, let's go to directly recover deleted photos from iPhone 4/3GS
Tips: With this way, you can only recover deleted photos from iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS. If you need to recover deleted photos from iPhone 5, just turn to the second way below.
Step 1: Select the device to scan
Take iPhone 4 for example. Download Wondershare Dr.Fone (for iPhone 4) and install it on your computer, and then connect your iPhone to your computer to get the following interface:
If you're using iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S, it's a little different here. There will be only a "Start" button on the window below, and you only need to click it, wait for a while (scanning), and then you can preview recoverable data.
Before you perform recovery, you ought to enter the system of your iPhone. Follow the steps here:
- Hold your iPhone and click "Start".
- Press Home and Power buttons at the same time when you click "Start",and hold for exactly 10 seconds. The program will count it for you.
- After 10 seconds, release Power and keep pressing the Home button for another 10 seconds.
When you're told that you've successfully entered the system, the program will automatically scan your iPhone for data on it.
After the scan, you can preview all found data in categories. To preview your photos, you can choose Camera Roll or Photo Stream. Photos found here are not only those deleted, but also includes those still on your iPhone. If you only want to get those deleted pictures, you can refine the result by sliding the button in the red area on the interface below, to only display deleted items. Mark those you want and click "Recover" to save them on your computer.
Note: If you want to import recovered photos back to your iPhone, you can use MobileGo for iOS or MobileGo for iOS (Mac), which allows you to do it in a few seconds.
Then, turn to the second way, recover photos from iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS from iTunes backup
When launching the program on your computer, choose "Recover from iTunes Backup File" option on the top, then you'll get the interface below. Choose the iTunes backup of your iPhone, if there are more than one, choose the latest one, and click "Start Scan".
Step 2: Recover deleted iPhone photos
After the scan, all files in the backup file are displayed for you in well-organized categories. No matter the photo from your camera roll or those you transferred from somewhere else, you can preview them one by one. Then check those you want and click the "Recover" button to save them on your computer.
