HELP!stolen i phone 3GS,are my photos backed up in i tunes?
Hi, i have just had my i phone 3GS stolen (heartbroken)
I had around 2500 photos on there taken with phone of my son growing up over the last 2.5 years,im not really bothered about the phone,its the photos bit that hurts...
Im totally hopeless with i tunes but i think i backed up my i phone on there once when i put it in to get repaired,does this mean all my phone contacts and photos etc will be somewhere in i tunes?
Im waiting on a replacement i phone to come by post but im totally stressing i have lost all these photos......
Please can somebody tell me how to go about this,i been playing around with i tunes and folders on my laptop but i cant find anything,maybe i need plug new i phone in before ill find them....i have no idea..........argggggggghhhhhh

Check your pc, it should save automatically to pictures in your documents or like my MacBook direct to iPhoto whenever I connect.
Did you have find my iPhone enabled ?

Hope you find your pictures, as the other poster has said mine automatically opens iPhoto when I plug my phone in to charge.

It's free to try (but will only extract one file at a time, $25 for the full version) and runs on Windows and Mac, I've never used it but it's worth a go
Good luck with it, I find iTunes a total pig to deal with ...
(edit) Found a free tool that will extract everything ... http://www.earth2me.com/products/spiritrecover
(edit edit) If you have backups then on a PC they can be found here (don't try to manually poke around in there
): C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
