Lost photos after iOS 5 update?

I beleive there is iExplorer for Mac.😉

Right. iExplorer worked on my wife's MacBook OS 10.6 and saw my iPhone and located the pics in that Aple 100 file. So I now have the photos on the desktops of both my Macs, haven't quite figured out how to get them back into the Photo file on the iPhone

Have you followed the steps detailed in the link.

this worked

1.) connect your iphone using the usb cable

2.) launch iphone explorer

3.) backup and then delete the following files:

/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/.MISC/Info.plist

/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/MISC/DCIM_APPLE.plist

/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite

/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite

4.) reboot your iphone

now it imports to iphoto at full res again. it was only importing low res pics after os5 update

ab70 is right!!!! Thank you very much!!! 🙂 download iExplorer, and the photos are in there, in DCIM, then 100apple.

I was extremely worried for a while. Thanks again. These forums are a great thing, very helpful!!

Appreciate the advice.

I have been synching my iPad and iPhone to my PowerMac G4 upgraded to OS10.5. iExplorer will not run on the G4 as it requires an Intel machine. It does run on my wife's Macbook and when I connect the iPhone it sees the DCIM file containing the photos. I have downloaded these photos to the desktop of the Macbook and also have imported them to the G4.

Now, if I follow your directions and try to reboot the iPhone while connected to the Macbook, will this work, since I have never synced with the Macbook before?

Can I sync the iPhone to 2 different Mac's?

Is there any other way to transfer the photos back from the G4 to the iPhone? Is there a version of iExplorer that runs on a non-Intel based machine?

I'm afraid I can't help you on your additional concerns. Sorry. Good luck. 😟

Using this version of iExplorer on the G4 Iwas able to recover the lost photos

http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com ......I thought I lost EVERYTHING......I tried EVERYTHING.......I found this software, and it worked. I am soooo relieved. As long as you have a backup somewhere, it seems to work. iTunes wasn't able to recover from my backups for some reason, but this software extracted everything right out for me. $25 for the registered version, but so worth every penny.
