Photos gone after ios 5 update

When I try to run the iExplorer on Windows 7 I receive an error "Unable to start the iPhone listener process. This error may occur because iTunes is not installed". Has anyone else had this issue? Obviously iTunes is installed.

have you tried to run IEXPLORER using "run as administrator", by right clicking the executable? I use windows 7 too and worked fine for me.

I had the same issue of all my photos being gone from my Camera Roll when upgrading last night from IOS4 to IOS5. I found the info.plist under the DCIM folder. Your instructions worked perfectly and now I have all of my pictures back. Thank you.

Thank you! your directions worked got over 1095 pics back. I had to delete the DCIM_APPLE.plist as well. Thanks!

Step 4: how do you backup the files? also, do you really delete a file to get the camera roll back on there?

Yup, worked for me, too, also by deleting DCIM_APPLE.plist.

Many thanks! Had more photos in the camera roll than I realized.

Brilliant Fix! Thanks.

Thank you very much 🙂

Thanks very much for this advice it worked perfectly and I have all of photos and videos back in the camera roll.

How did you back up the files?

Just drag the file and drop it on your desktop.

So actually delete from the desktop copy or delete from the hard drive copy?

Some of the pictures are one there, but the one's after the last backup date listed are gone. I restored from last backup as of 6/27 and every photo from 6/28 till now is gone. Is this the way to get them back? I made a sync of the file before we downloaded/updated the ios 5 on 3gs. 4s arrived today.

Awesome and thanks, I was wary of trying this but it worked perfectly all my pictures of the family are back!!

cheers

For them to re-appear after the update to ios5 on your iphone, you have to erase the ipod cache file in the folder with the photos.

Ex. I keep my photos for the iphone in a separate desktop folder. Open it, then erase the ipod cache folder.
