I deleted ALL videos from my camera roll. I had used all of them in iMovies but now my iMovies are EMPTY! All videos were recorded from my ipad2. Icloud backup was ON for imovies but OFF for camera roll. Can i recover my imovies (first communion, first grandchild, three family vacations, two Christmas parties and one funeral !). I have spent the entire morning searching for help but have not found a STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR "DUMMIES". Please talk DOWN to me as i know NOTHING technical nor ANY technical words. Also, i do not have a computer, just this ipad. Thank you.

Hi Joan,

Not sure if you have iOS 7 or not so wording may be different.

Please can you check the following: Settings>iCloud>Photos and Settings>Photos & Camera>My Photo Stream

Are both of these turned on?

Regards,

Steve

Hi bbnj62,

Joan said in her 1st post that she does not have a computer, so would that mean that if she does not have itunes at least on here ipad or have it set to automatically sync, then they could be there - somewhere? I got the impression that Joan was depending on icloud.

If they're deleted, don't they have to be somewhere? Some kind of hidden trash thing? In 2006 when I was first using Adobe Elements, I edited pictures and kept the edited pictures as the original, mistakenly deleting the originals. I needed some of them, though, and Adobe told me they could not be retrieved. I never deleted trash after that but could not find the originals. Then, in 2010 when the Geek Squad got my data from a fried hard drive, the pictures were there! I was thrilled!

Is that possible? Could they be somewhere? They must be!

(Thanks for the whole itunes back up lesson. I was not aware and we haven't backed up anything to itunes, but I'll save this info for if/when we do.)
