Problem with Photos in Camera Roll after 4.0.1

Hello,
I have a 16GB iPhone 3G.
I updated to iOS4.0 the day it came out, and other than the slowness that everyone else was reporting, I didn't have any other issues.
When I updated to 4.0.1, everything seems a touch better performance wise, but I found a problem with my camera roll.
First, when I opened the Photos App, there was no thumbnail for Camera Roll (all others were ok).
I opened the camera roll, and the last 50 or so pics that I had taken, were all showing as one big Black blob (not individual black thumbnails, they were all joined)
If I scrolled up to older pictures, the older ones were fine.
I took a new picture to test it, and that one looks fine.
So now I can see all my OLD pictures, and any NEW pictures I take, but those same 50 pictures were still showing as one big BLACK blob.
I can still access the pictures if I touch them, and I can flip through them without any problems. I can also copy these photos from my phone to my PC, so the pictures themselves seem to be fine.
And after copying them to my PC, what I noticed by examining the timestamps, was that the problematic pictures were all taken after I updated to iOS 4.0. It seems that all pictures from 3.1.3 or earlier are showing fine, and now all pictures taken with 4.0.1 are showing fine as well. So only pictures taken with 4.0 seem to be affected.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Just for the record, my phone is not and has never been jailbroken.)

There is a solution!!
After installing iOS4.0.1 update on my 3G, I too had the black
blob in my camera roll. As posted in an earlier thread, here's
one way to resolve this problem. It worked for me!
Just email the photos that don't appear in the camera roll to myself,
delete the offending photos and then re-save them from the email.
A bit of a pain but it's a way around it. Good luck!

    Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app.  When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

  • Problem with Photos and Camera and Sizing Set

    I have a 3gs and upgraded to 4.0. Things seemed fine but yesterday when I opened up the Camera Roll in Photos there was 1 picture showing and a large black rectangular box. No other photos were showing. I tapped on the black box and it showed all the photos using the slider to go from 1 to the next. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the black box so that all the photos showed up normally, so I deleted each of the photos. The size of the box shrank as each photo was deleted. Then when I went into Photos, it opened with an empty screen and immediately closed. I then tried to use the Camera and it started up and immediately closed. So I sent myself an email with a photo and saved it to Photos. Its there and so is the black box! Now the camera will work! To further complicate, I decided I'd use the photo for wallpaper. Problem is I can't size it!! I can move it and size it with my fingers, but then when I release, it immediately pops back to full size and I can't "Set" the image size. Does anyone have any idea what's going on!!

    Well I solved it. I uploaded my photos to My Gallery. Then I took a photo with the camera and saved it. I then deleted all the other photos except the one I just took. Then I exited Photos and then came back in and it was working fine, so I then downloaded the photos that I had just uploaded to My Gallery. Still have a problem though with sizing the photos for the Lock and Home screens. I can't get the Set button to hold a size. Any ideas on that?

  • After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

    Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
    I could find an external driver to get photos before.
    and I cannot sync the website bookmarks to my computer.
    What can I do to solve this problem...??
    HELP pls!!

    Try disabling Norton and syning.  If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
    If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.

  • I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album.

But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

    With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

    If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up.  I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

  • Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

    The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
    Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
    If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • I can't access my photos in camera roll.

    I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

    I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
    I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

  • HT4890 Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Photos taken on your device (which are saved to the camera roll) after enabling photo stream are automatically added (when connected to wifi, the camera app is closed, and you have at least 20% battery power remaining).  If you want to add earlier photos you'll have to either email them one by one to yourself, then open the email and save them back to your camera roll (which will now upload to photo stream because it is considered a new photo), or you can send them all at once using an app like PhotoSync.  With this app you can transfer them wirelessly to your computer, then delete them from your camera roll on your phone, the send them back to the camera roll from your computer (which will again cause them to be seen as new photos).  (iTunes will not transfer photos to your camera roll so you can't just import them and sync them back.)

  • Photostream overly complicated, can't save photos to Camera Roll

    For those of us who like to manage our photos manually, why is it so overly complicated to manage images between Photostream and Camera Roll?
    First, I just want to save photos from my old iPhone, which I added to from iPhoto to my Photostream because it seemed to be the only way, to my Camera Roll. This is not possible though. When I go to Photostream and select photos then select "Add To" it shows Camera Roll but it does not allow me to select Camera Roll and add them. The only option I can select is to create a new album within Photostream. If I just select an image in Photostream and then hit the share button, it also does not give me a save to Camera Roll option.
    I only want to use the Camera Roll, yet even with Photostream turned off, photos I take on my iPhone still show up in the Photostream.
    I just don't understand why this is so complicated. I've seen forum discussions that say it's easy to save Photostream photos to Camera Roll, but I've tried every way mentioned but it never gives me the option of saving to Camera Roll.
    Help please. Thanks.

    Create an album for your old photos.  Connect your phone to iTunes on your computer. On the phone's summary page tap the Photos tab. Check the Sync photos from checkbox. Click the button next to the checkbox.  Navigate to the folder on your computer where the pictures are located.  Add them to your album.
    Doing this in reverse is the only way to get these pictures back off your phone.
    I agree iCloud / Photostream for photos is way to complicated and useless, but it is locked down to keep people from trying to use it to share commercial videos and music via the shared photostream. At least that is my guess.

  • I can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7

    can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7, please help?  I press on photo, and menu comes up to save photo, but it is not in my camera roll.  What's up?

    when you tried to save did facebook ask you permission to access to the camera roll?
    if not close and open facebook and try to save a picture and see if it pops with the question.
    if it doesn't, goto settings>privacy>photos and see if facebook is added there,
    if it's added and not enabled, enable it.
    if everything mentioned above fails, do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide the switch off and try again to save it

  • Import photos to Camera Roll

    This there any way that I can import photos to Camera Roll? I've imported hundreads of photos from there before I restore my 3GS and I couldn't find any method to put them back afterwards... Thanks in advance!!

    Pictures are never imported to Camera Roll.  Camera Roll is only for temporary storage of pictures taken with the device.
    Once the pictures have been copied off the device they can be synced back via iTunes but they will never appear in Camera Roll, they appear in folders instead.

  • How to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

    how to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

    Emile
    Bear with me a minute. You're confusing a lot of things.
    1. As Larry says, on Windows you are using a File Manager for you your photos. All well and good if it works for you, but limited. Why? Because it doesn't leverage any of the extra information available with photos files. Essentially, a File Manager doesn't distinguish between a photo nd a Word file or a Music file. They are just files.
    2. Photo Managers like iPhoto (Or Picasa, Aperture, Lightroom et al) work differently. They are designed to leverage the additional information available in the photo file. Case in point: Date. In the File Manager you have folders created for Year/Month/Day. In iPhoto the pics are grouped into Events automatically. These Events are based on the date and time the Photos were taken, and which is recorded in the Exif metadata for the photo file.
    As we all know, when one downloads pictures from a camera, their"names" appear as a bunch of letters and the number indicating thesequence.
    These are Filenames assigned by the Camera. In iPhoto you don't change Filenames you edit Titles. Titles are quite independent of filenames and are an entry in the Exif metadata.
    I'm not sure what you've done in the renaming sequence, but iPhoto does not have a Sort -> by Name command. There is a Sort By Title command.
    But you would not use Events for this job anyway. You would use an Album. Create an Album, drag the pics to it and then you can sort them in any order you want, manually. Then using the Batch Change Command you can create a sequence for them. So, Title the pics 'House Sale' and check the box to append  number and the result:
    House Sale 01, House Sale 02 etc
