Photo gallery freezing; unable to view photos

I have been having problems with my Gallaxy's photo gallery since before the upgrade. When I go into my gallery to view my photos I can't click on one to bring it up and if it lets me scroll through the gallery, it will freeze up. I have done everything that has been suggested from unmounting the SD card to clearing the cache and forcing stop the gallery. I have turned the phone off and removed the battery as well as the SD and SIM card. I do not want to do a factory data reset, because obviously the photo gallery problem is a known issue. I will lose all of things stored in my phone for a temporary solution, I think not. The SD card is not defective as I have checked it out on other phones as well as my computer. If there weren't so many useless apps loaded on the phone, perhaps the gallery would not be an issue. Are there any other solutions to this problem?????

SWebster77,
Yikes! You have done a lot of troubleshooting on your device! We appreciate you taking the time to check into the issue on your own. Before doing a factory reset, I would recommend trying Safe Mode: http://vz.to/1iNs3y3 Safe mode runs the phone without any apps running, which helps to determine if there is an app causing the issue. Also, can you confirm which specific Galaxy model you have? Please let us know if this helps!
Thank you,

Unable to view photos received via e-mail or texting

Hi,
I have been unable to view photos that I received via a text message. I do receive the yellow bubble alert telling me to download. After I hit the download button, it just hangs. I also attempted to send myself a photo from my work email address by mailing to [email protected] Again, I received the notification to download the photo and after hitting the download button--nothing! Am I doing something incorrectly? A setting to be made perhaps? FYI, I am running the latest update for the Charge.
Thx for the help!

Well since nobody here responded, I called Verizon Tech Support directly. I was instructed to remove the battery while leaving the power on (that's important--do NOT power off!). Then depress the power button in succession twenty (20) times. Replace the battery cover and power up as normal. All fixed!!! Thanks to "Julius" at VZW. Obviously, this is some type of reset sequence for the Charge.
Depress the power button 20 times with the battery still out or after putting the battery back in?

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

Photo Gallery freezing up on Samsung Galaxy SIII

When I open my photo gallery, the pictures show up but I can't scroll through them. If I open the pics thru the camera, I can scroll half way through before it freezes. Any answers?

Hello lilylulu,
Thank you for keeping us updated on the issue on the device. We are just as eager as you to get this resolved once and for all. May I ask have you cleared the data on the device? If you haven't done so then here are the steps on how to do so.
Settings > Application Manager > All > Phote Gallery > Force Close > Clear Data.
After you have tried this step then please share your findings. The results of this step will greatly determine the direction that we need to go in next.
Thank you...

Unable to view photos on iPhone 4S

Hi,
There are some photos which I am unable to view on iPhone 4S 64 GB. When I open those photos it opens up with a white screen but I am able to view those in the camera roll. It only happens when I open the picture to view it in the normal size. This photos are taken from the same device. I've performed Reset, refresh but its still the same.

Unable to view photos although after sycronising after upgrade to IOS 5.1.

Hi, I'm unable to view the photos after syncronising although application shows that I've successfully syncronise 9 photos. None can be displayed.This is after upgraded to IOS 5.1.Pls help.

Completely agree with you, bladddddd.
There really should be a toggle in the cellular menu to switch between LTE, 3G & 2G. Carriers in some parts of the world may well be switching off the 2G service, but that doesn't apply to everyone & certainly not where I am in the UK.
I spoke to AppleCare about my problem last month, but they were unfortunately quite hopeless, not knowing that the easiest way for me to recover my original carrier settings in iOS 6.0.2, would have been for me to carry out a full reset & restore from a backup. :(
I did too pass on my annoyance with the inability to switch back to 2G, should I want to, after an over-the-air carrier settings update has taken place & has subsequently replaced the 3G toggle with the LTE toggle.
I have also completed the feedback form some weeks ago. I hope others having this same issue will do this too:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Hopefully, Apple may bother to actually take some notice of this problem, which will now affect a lot of iPhone 5 users.
The next iOS update will hopefully include the ability to override a carrier settings update & falling back to a 2G signal, should users want to, or need to, particularly in order to reduce the strain on the battery.
Until such an update is released, I'm sticking to iOS 6.0.2 :(

Unable to view photos in library. I already rebuilt my tumbnail caches....

I am having the this problem: I can see the photos on the scroll in small view but when I click on a photo to make it large and view it there is a gray screen with a white dotted line around an exclamation point.
I rebuilt the thumbnail cache, as some earlier discussion suggested. BUT I DID RENAME AND MOVE SOME FILES BY MISTAKE from the Iphoto library, which I tried to revert to its original settings, but its still unnable to link the tumbnails to the photos. Is there anyway to recover my photos or at least be able to see new ones I take from now on?

Matencio:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are all of the photos that way or just some? If it's all then it's more than just messing with the library from the Finder that's at work here. If most of the photos are visible you can try following Tutorial #1 before creating a new library and importing the Originals folder from your current library.
If all photos are affected then you're looking at starting from scratch with a new library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Unable to view photos that others post on facebook since upgrade

was able to view photos that friends posted on facebook until ungraded to current version of firefox. Now those photos are just blank white spaces.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Unable to view photos in iPhoto unless same day import

I imported and edited a bunch of photos in iPhoto yesterday, but when I went to use them today, all I see are blank thumbnails. When I click on these, there's no picture. I can only see the photos I imported today. Where did all my other photos go? And how can I save them so they don't disappear on me?

Aneek:
By "no picture" what do you mean? What do you see? If' it's a gray window with an "!" in the middle it means that the library database file has been damaged and lost the link to the original file. That can happen if there's been an interruption while iPhoto is writing to the database file.
You can try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first four options. I'm not confident that that will resurrect the library but it's worth a try. If that doesn't work post back and we'll go from there. Also see the tip at then end of my signature.

Bionic Photo Gallery show friends on facebook photos, How do I turn off?

I just upgraded from the Droid X to the Bionic I liked my X and thought that the widgets would be similar, they weren't. One widget I liked on the X was the photo gallery. On the Bionic it defaults to show my facebook contacts photo uploads. As much as I appreciate my friends photos, I do not want to see them on my phone photo gallery. I would prefer my own pictures instead. I unchecked facebook friends photo update and it still displays them. How can I fix this? Some of my friends are oil field workers and can be quite crude when it comes to the photos they upload.

the widget is blank. I would like for my pictures to be there. right noe the only way for me to see my pictures is to go to Camera roll. On my droid X i could see my pictures in a slideshow there.
The widget has a option to select what folder you want to attach to it, try removing it and place it back, it usually ask what folder you want to display it the widget and once you select the one you want this should resolve this..

Unable to view photo browser to import photos

Friends,
I'm running FCPX 10.1. I am unable to easily view the photo browser to import photos. The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the photo import pane:
The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the under photos to display the entire photo (Aperture) library:
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Steve

I also had the same problem. Then I open iMovie, clicked on the iPhoto and Aperture section. When I got back to FCP X my photos, Gearage Band sections were back. But the photo section must be selected before you quit FCP X. Then open open FCP X, and the photos en Garage Band and other audio effects will be back. But when you select another section like themes or transitions before you quit FCP X, the photo section wil be gone again and had to start the procedure again to get it back. That is my experience of the missing photos and audio effects.

60 gig ipod video, unable to view photos

No problem downloading photos from selected folder useing ipod options/photo. However when I select a folder of pictures from the ipod the thumbnails are blank, and when I select a photo and try to view it the ipod freezes, gets noticably warmer,there is a great deal of hard drive noise, and a reset is needed.
I haven't tried any videos yet, but mp3 files play just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Think I might of resolved the issue. Used ipod updater to errase and restore settings to my ipod, and used a new folder of photos and a resinc seems to have fixed it. I am going to add more jpgs and see if itunes will convert them for my ipod has well.

Epson 810 printer unable to view photos on iMac

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 810 and connected it wirelessly. The printer connects to the iMac OS X 10.5.8 and is able to print, but it is unable to transfer pictures from my memory card to my mac. My memory card is a Memory Stick Pro Duo, 2 GB, the camera is a Sony Cyber-shot. The info from Epson is that a Memory Card icon should show on my desktop,it does not. And according to Epson, since I can see the pics on the Epson screen, I should be able to see them on my Mac. After spending over 45 minutes with an 2 Epson techs, they gave up and said the problem is with my iMac and that I had to call Apple because it is their problem. I did call Apple tech support, but their opionion is that it is an Epson problem, not an apple problem. I don't know whose problem it is except mine, but my cheap old HP never had a problem allowing me to see my pics on my iMac. I have tried installing and uninstalling both wireless and usb drivers, but neither allows a working Memory Icon on the desktop nor any way to view the photos. Sorry for the length of this request. Any help would be appreciated.

There was another thread on this very same problem some time back; from what I remember, it was not resolved. For one thing, it could very well have something to do with the fact that you have it connected wirelessly; have you tried connecting the printer with a USB cable to see if it works then?
If you are not wanting to print the pics while the card is inserted in the printer, may I suggest what would be a much easier and simpler solution: download the pictures to your Mac and then control the pictures (and the printer) from there. You could use a USB card reader (very inexpensive), insert it and download them directly - why go through another device.
