Find photos from iphone after restore to original settings
So I was having issues after upgrading to OS4 and decided to follow advice to restore to factory settings. This did solve my issues with being able to edit contacts, but it presented a new issue.
I did do a backup of the phone before the restore, but I did not think to import my camera roll photos into iPhoto.
I just checked in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup to see if I could somehow grab the camera roll photos out of the backup, but was surprised that the only back up that looks to be in there is from after the restore. Is it possible to find an earlier backup to get the photos from? And if so, do I have to restore the phone to that backup or is there some other way to maybe just import the photos to iPhoto or open them with another application? It looks like all the files in the backup are text files.
I looked at a Time Machine backup but that was from an iphone backup about a week ago so there were newer pictures.
Any help would be appreciated.
