Recover pictures from iphone backup?

I really need some help.
Before i sold my iphone 4S, i took backup in iTunes of everything, and when i got my new iphone5, the pictures didn't come. I can see that there are pictures there, but there are only empty squares with file names written on them, like JPG or PNG, but the picture it self doesn't show up. I've tried almost everything, and searched the web but can't seem to find any solution.
And i really need the pics, it was from vacation when i visited my family.
Have any of you seen this before? Any programs i can try.

Whatsapp audionote - 2 minutes limit?

I noticed that there's a limit of 2 minutes when recording an audio note on Whatsapp, which is kind of stupid. I'm sure there was a longer limit before?

I'm using an iPhone 3GS on IOS 6.0.1.

I've heard other people have this problem too, is it possible to download another audio recording app and somehow send your audio file from that app using Whatsapp?

Iphone 5 Airplane mode/Wi-Fi?

I'm going to be going on holiday for 2 weeks in Florida, I was just wonder if I can use the Airplane mode on my Iphone 5 then turn on Wi-Fi… I'm from Scotland. Will I be charged at all? I really just want to use my phone as an Ipod/Camera. The hotel says it's got free Wi-Fi, how will I go around using this service without being charged. I don't want to be receiving any calls or texts while I'm away.

Did What's App discontinue its compatibility with the 2G Iphone?

I currently have an old jail broken Iphone (2G iOS 3.1.3) and have been using What's App (presumably version 2.8.6) regularly for the last few months. It wasn't until december 26th that the app disabled itself from use. It can't open up the contacts to read nor send messages, but oddly I still receive them.

Every time I open the app, it asks me to insert my phone number as well as a 3 digit code that I get Via SMS to disable it. However, once I click the button to get the SMS, I get a notice saying that my App is "too old" and instead recommends that I download the latest upgrade at no cost, but when I tried downloading it through the app store it says it's now compatible with 4.3 or higher.

I find it unfair, yet I understand that it's all about marketing and improving service and technology, but still, is there a way around this issue or am I being forced to buy a new smartphone in order to use the App again?

How to begin with Iphone Programming and Xcode?

I'm a computer fanatic and i'm interested in learning to program for iphone etc. I do not know any programming languages, and was wondering where i should begin. I have a book named 'Programming in Objective-C' which seems to require some knowledge of programming. I have also downloaded the apple guide to 'develop your first ios app' however that also seems to be a little complicated. I'm not interested in learning the extreme basics.
