In regards to my last post I have actually done the whole process, deleted the files in the iexplorer, (figured out how to reboot the i-pad) and then clicked the photo apps but there are no photos in my device.:-(

Any other ideas?

Hi, I wonder if that would work on the I-pad. Same disaster happended to me too when upgraded to ios5. Idon’t have an i-phone. I have an i-pad 1 which doesn’t have a camera, therefore there is no camera roll folder. The pictures I had were uploaded from a memory card which was long deleted and re-utilised. Didn’t have back-ups anywhere. Not sure if it would be in i-tunes.After the disaster happen I didn’t upload any other photos to my device to avoid further damage.

I ran iexplorer and DCIM is empty. However in the photodata i can see the following:photos.sqlite, photos.sqlite-shm, photos.sqlite-wal, photos sqlite-aside. I have dragged them to my desktop.

Now I before I try the next step, just want to know if it works on the ipad as it does with i-phones. And also how to reboot the i-pad.

Question: Has apple ever considered hiring you or at least pay you for the incredible service you are doping for them? If not it is long overdue. Shame on them!

iPhone offers huge storage space where you can save thousands of image as well as text files. No doubt this device is very useful but sometime you may face problem because of loss of important files from your iPhone 4. Loss may occur either due to accidental deletion or due to some other reasons. No matter what the reasons are, the prime concern is how to restore deleted data? Well, iPhone 4 recovery is now possible if backup is available. If the backup is available then you can easily restore all lost files.

Tks lot!!

i was sad cause I missed my many photos that I just got from my old albums when I was a kid with my family, sweetest memories.. I missed it after I connected to my computer and tried to back up. I was trying to get it back but was almost surrendered until i read this blog and solved with iexplorer hehe my iphone is 8GB ios 5.0

i think it happened when we have more than one folder of photo.

but now i realize that iphone is complicated, just like the outlook, and bank application hehe any way tks, really apprreciate it..

Hello,
I have a problem. I had over 300 pictures in my camera roll on my iphone 4s that I did not download to my computer yet from a friend’s graduation. I went to download them today and realized to my horror that they were all gone. I cannot find them anywhere on my computer or itunes. Is there any hope of recovering them?

Hi, saw all your great feedback so thought I would ask. I just updated my iPhone 3GS to the new ios5 after the update all my pics and messages were there part from contacts. I was doing everything so fast I then pressed restore from backup and it took me back to October so I have now lost about 1000 pics which is breaking my heart. Even pictures and messages I deleted came back after this. I have never myself pressed back up to back my files up so I’m guessing this is from when I last plugged my iPhone in. It’s as if I need to go forward again. I looked in my recycle bin and there was a backup there so I restored it and I dunno where it has went. I really don’t know why I pressed the back up because I would have all my pictures and messages which I want/need. I would rather have them than my contacts. Please help but I don’t think there is much I can do now, all my fault.
