    If the photos are no longer in the camera roll or iTunes/iCloud backup of the device that took them, and/or you didn't transfer them from the Photostream to your computer, then they are gone.

    I accidentaly deleted some photos on my iPad . When you delete pictures on your iPad, the link to the data disappears, but the data still remains until overwritten by new files. If you act quickly, you may be able to successfully recover deleted pictures from iPad.

     

    Actually, there are two ways for you to recover your deleted notes from iPad: recover it by extracting your iTunes backup file, or by scanning your iPad.

    Lots of iPad users think it is impossible to recover lost data from iPad, in fact , it is possible.

    Method 1: Trash bin to recover the deleted photos

    Restore from your iCloud backup, if you used iCloud to backup your phone, see iCloud: Backup and restore overview, or estore from a backup you made with iTunes on your mac.

     

    Method 2: Restore from the PhotoStream synced to your other devices.

    Do you have Photo Stream enabled? Then your iPad will have a sent all photos added to the camera roll to the photo stream, and other devices you sync with the Photo Stream may have downloaded the photos, see: iCloud:

     

     

     

    Hope this helps.

    If you make a backup previously, you still can recover your iPad photos from backup.
