No Photos are saving in the camera roll anymore (original iphone)

This is a new problem, but the first one Ive ever had with this phone. Yesterday, whenever I would take a picture, it showed that it was taken in the Photo Albums section. But when I went into the Camera Roll's folder, there were no pictures.
I synced the phone today (updating to the newest software that was recently released), and I'm still having the same problem. I've taken 4 pictures since the update, but the camera roll shows "No Photos".
(For additional information, I do have 50% memory or more free... so I know it's not a memory issue. I have also restarted my phone)
Any suggestions? or similar issues?

I think I may have found what “triggers” this. I noticed that my last successfully saved image on my iPhone was IMG_0999.JPG.
I’m guessing that the bug in the iPhone is that the photo counter doesn’t handle image numbers greater than 999.
After the restore procedure described here, I’m guessing the image number goes back to 0001, but that the problem will reappear 998 images from now.

Re: Photo taken do not appear in Photos on iPhone anymore !
Well appears it had nothing to do with iTunes indeed.
Read quite a few threads of disappearing photos issues and was really not thrilled at the prospect of restoring and going through the process of reinstalling apps, settings etc... Cannot stand going through command lines either!
Instead I tried the http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ application and deleted as instructed the .MISC folder inside the /DISC/DCIM folder.
Worked!!!
Interesting thing: right after that my pictures counter started at IMG_00001 etc... which could suggest indeed a 'bug' with the photo counter that reaches a limit and must be manually reset to 00000

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • How do I transfer just my edited pictures that are saving to the camera roll to iPhoto on my Mac?

    See above

    Try using Image Capture in the Applications folder on your Mac and see if you have success with that. Same process - select the iPad at the top and the photos should appear in the window.
    I have the original iPad and the photos that can be imported are those from the Saved Album. The Saved Album on the iPad original is the same thing as the Camera Roll on the iPad 2. Actually I thought only the photos from the camera roll or the saved album could be imported.

  • How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

    I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account.  Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos.  Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads.  I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using.  It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken? 

    You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC?  I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC.  What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
    To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
    Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.)  Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
    In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them.  Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

  • TS1500 how do I transfer all my photos and videos including the camera roll from my Iphone 5 to my Windows 7 laptop?

    hi there, I have an IPhone 5 32gig filled with pics and vids I cannot get off my phone and onto my laptop running Windows 7. Ifunbox hasnt recognized the camera roll. Went into a Apple store last night to talk to a genius and all he said was he hadn't touched a PC in twenty years and that no one there could answer my questions. Yeah, I was furious.

    The camera roll should be seen just like any other digital camera when connected to your computer. Anything else had to come from your computer to begin with and can not be transferred without purchasing 3rd party software or individually saving them to the camera roll, emailing them, or otherwise finding another way to transfer them.
    You do have iTunes installed on the computer, right? The drivers required are included in the iTunes install package.

  • Why are all my pictures being saved to the Camera Roll album?

    Hi
    Every image saved to my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) is saved to the Camera Roll album and not to any other folders i.e. Snapchat images are not saved to a Snapchat folder, Instagram pictures not saved to an Instagram folder, Twitter pictures nto saved to a Twitter folder.
    Also, in a possibly unrelated query, I moved a large chunk of images from my Camera Roll to a separate folder (called "London" for my visit of the city) but they also still remain in the Camera Roll album.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks

    I've just received my iPhone 6 & upgraded to ios8.1.
    After I set up my new phone & restore my icloud backup from my old iPhone 4, I found that the photo album cannot be used, photo taken by the camera cannot be saved (anyway the thumbnail of the photo just taken was showed on the bottom left corner).
    When I go into my photo album, there are no photo at all.
    Same with videos. Instagram works fine, facebook crashes when I try to take photos. Camera + works with the app photo stream, but gives error message when I try to save camera+ stream to camera roll
    I tried to reset & delete everything for 5-6 times, the problem still there.
    Anyone can help on this problem please?

    Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have two albums in my photos app other than the camera roll that i cant seem to get rid of. They contain duplicates of the photos i already have in my camera roll. One is called Photo Library, and the other is called iphone. It's using alot of space and I don't know how to delete them. Please HELP!!

    those are photos that have been synced to your phone from your computer. plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, select 'photos' tab from the top, and uncheck 'sync photos'
    this will erase the photos from your phone that are not in the camera roll

  • "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

    "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3.  My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
    So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing.  At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
    I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone.  There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
    What next please?

    An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
    As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?".  The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
    OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?".  Mistake.  You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone.  Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila!  Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
    Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

  • Deleting photos that are not in the Camera Roll.

    I just got a new ipod touch and I put photos from my PC onto my ipod and now I want to delete these photos but they are not in my camera roll and there is no delete button available. Please help me delete them!

    You delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.
    Deselect them in itunes and sync.

  • After updating iOS 6 in my iPod Touch 4th Gen, my Synced photos from computer are all gone. The remaining pictures are only in the Camera Roll. HELP THANKS :)

    Hello! I updated my itouch 4g with iOS 6 using iTunes at Windows 7. After updating, my musics and videos are still there but my synced photos from the computer are lost. The only remaining photos are from the Camera Roll. I lost 4000 photos. What will I do to restore them? Thanks for thise who will help :)

    You need to obtain the synced photos from where you obtained them the first time. Synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of an update or restore.

  • Is there a way to import photos to the iPad without the photo also appearing in the Camera Roll?  I have a Photo Transer app that lets me wirelessly import photos to an album but they also appear in the CR and when you delete from the CR the photo is dele

    Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll?  I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR.  When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

    You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
    In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

  • Can I move photos from Google to the Camera Roll on my iPad?

    Just bought my first iPad, I would like to import photos from Google+ and put them into albums and the camera roll...is this possible?

    If you are using the Google+ App, you just need to tap on the settings "cog" icon at the top left corner of the opened pciture, and then tap on download.
    This will put the image in your camera roll.

  • HT4859 5GB worth of storage for photos and videos in the camera roll

    Why does Apple keep saying this when they know that videos from the camera roll cannot be uploaded to the cloud??

    Oh okay, now I get it. I'm just getting used to this whole cloud thing and I thought they were the same thing. But one is back-up to keep it safe and one is to send the photo stream to the cloud and to share.
    Thanks for your help, but I'll ask you also if you know of a way to save photo stream videos to the cloud??
