Q: How to restore photos deleted photo stream???
I'm a bit of a newbee to forums and macs....
I have an iphone and have always manually used the USB and copy & paste photos onto my PC.
A couple of days ago I installed iCloud onto my PC which installed Okay and created a new photo steam folder as part of the installation.
Unfortunately, none of the existing photos in photo steam stored on my iphone moved across to my PC photo steam folder.... I read a forum that said you need to go into the photo steam folder on the PC, right click into properties and unselect the tick box for read only, which I did .... it still didn't start adding photos onto my PC, so I thought it was fair to say the icloud program wasn't working on the my PC like it should be.
Given that I thought it was pointless having a photo steam folder on my iphone and on the icloud site, so I deleted the photo stream photos off my iCloud account as I thought they wouldn't upload on my PC anyway so what was the point in having them using up my free 5GB of storage.
The next day to my horror I've discovered iCloud has deleted every single iphone photo I have (including the birth of my first born child) off my PC!!!!!!! These are photos I have always manually used the USB and copy pasted photos onto my PC so thought there was no way these would be effected by iCloud anyway ..... how wrong was I.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Is there anyway I can recover these deleted photo steam photos?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
