Oct 31, 2013 11:24 AM in response to joymacby thisispulp,Luckily i still had my old iPhone so i did a full back up onto iTunes and then did a full restore not using the iCloud back up.
But that still doesn't solve the issue as it is just a work around to which not everyone is capable of doing if they trade in their old phone.

Oct 31, 2013 12:37 PM in response to thisispulpby joymac,but it did stop the "downloading" issue, correct? I backed up my old phone to iTunes so can easily still do that. just want to confim that it worked. thanks

Oct 31, 2013 12:43 PM in response to joymacby thisispulp,Yes that definitely did do it for me as long as you back up to your local hard drive and then restore from there.
I'm wondering though, are the missing photos on your phone photos saved by a different app other than Apple's camera software? I noticed that I was able to view the missing photos in my camera roll through my hipstamatic app since those were the ones taken by that app.
If that's the case than could it be possible that icloud couldn't back up the photos properly since icloud couldn't download them directly from the App's saved folder? Because when i went to the DCIM folder on the phone itself, those photos weren't there and did not see any other saved location.
Just a thought...

Nov 1, 2013 9:53 AM in response to joymacby joymac,So I did a restore from iTunes and it worked and the "downloading" stopped and I got all of my photos back on my phone. So my advice to other is always back your phone up to iTunes in addition to the Cloud as the iTunes back up is much more trustworthy.

Nov 1, 2013 10:23 AM in response to joymacby thisispulp,That's typically the rule of thumb for backing up any data, is to have redundancies for your backups.

Dec 25, 2013 9:07 AM in response to thisispulpby Abustef,In case you do not have an old back up, this method worked for me.
Go to iTunes > your ipad / ipod / iphone > Photos tab and check Sync Photos from then choose an empty foler (create one on your desktop) and then click Apply changes at the bottom. It would start syncing to an empty folder. This took it off for me!
Don't forget to backup to icloud or computer again!
