All iPhone4 Flash Pictures Are Black Dark?

I searched the forums and don't see this particular problem. It might have coincided with an IOS upgrade on my iPhone4, but I'm not sure. This did used to work, but now any flash picture I take with my iPhone4, the short preview looks OK, but the thumbnail and saved pictures are both black. I tried rebooting the phone, Auto and manual flash, HDR, etc. with no change. Movies with the flash on are OK. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix?

i also have this problem. except the preview with mine is also black. anyone figure anything out yet?

  • Exported black/white pictures are too dark

    Hi,
    My exported black and white pictures are too dark. I checked the pictures and the exif info contains information about the color profile RGB and sRGB (see below), but still the browsers (firefox and safari) ignore this and display the pictures way to dark. Is there a way to fix this? firefox has color management enabled and safari probably too. As for firefox: there are probably users that do not have color management enabled and it should work for them as well.
    Could the problems be due to the reduced 8bit color depth of jpeg?
    Any suggestions are highly welcome.
    Thanks!

    Doesn't this include the profile? I use Metadata wrangler and creative commons and morgify as plugins, but these shouldn't interfere with the profile, should they? I also experimented with disabling the metadata wrangler (by clicking disable), but this did not have any effect.
    Thanks a lot!

  • My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

    My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up?   Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id.  Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

    well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

  • Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod.  all of my pictures are gone.  How do I get my pictures back?

    Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod.  all of my pictures are gone.  How do I get my pictures back?

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • I recently had to wipe my hard drive thanks to a download happy teen. In that process I lost my LR4 catalogs I was able to redownload the program but the catalogs are not there and not all of those pictures are on my external hard drive because same said

    In that process I lost my LR4 catalogs I was able to redownload the program but the catalogs are not there and not all of those pictures are on my external hard drive because same said teen decided they were going to borrow my external hard drive without telling me and "made room" on it. Is there a way to recover my catalogs? Please tell me there is because I was in the middle of working on a session when I had to wipe my drive and I would REALLY like to not have to go back and reshoot it. Any help would be wonderful!

    It depends on how you wiped your drive.  Depending on how you did it, only the directory was erased and the data can be found with drive recovery software.  Some are free, although there is a small charge for most of them (~$30).  You can usually download a trial version that shows if it will work and you have to pay to be able to save the found files.  Use Google to search for the software.  Different programs work differently and can find different things.
    Good luck.

  • All of my documents are black with green text in acrobat X pro, how do I correct this?

    all of my documents are black with green text in acrobat X pro, how do I correct this?

    Hi there Doug,
    It sounds like you've enabled the High-Contrast Color option under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility (Win) or Acrobat > Preferences > Accessibility (Mac). Uncheck the 'Replace Document Colors' checkbox, then hit 'OK' to turn this off.

  • I had to restore my iphone 4s. all of my pictures are missing. where can i find them/

    I had to restore my iphone 4s. all of my pictures are missing. where can i find them/

    -Connect your iPhone with your Computer
    -Open iTunes
    -If a notification for restoring from an older backup appers, do that
    -If not, do right-click your iPhone (you fond your iPhone on the left side of the iTunes window) and choose "Restore from an older Backup " (I'm not sure if t's exactly named like this, because my iTunes is in German)
    Let me know if it works

  • Most pictures are black in Photo's preview

    Hi!
    I restored a backup from Time Machine. Now most pictures are black in Photo's preview. How can I fix this?
    Thank you

    Did you restore an iPhoto Library or a Photos Library?  Are your photos RAW or JPEG?
    And how did you restore from Time Machine? Did you drag the library from the drive or did you open Time Machine and used "Restore"?

  • If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone?

    If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone? While I was doing the update it told me to plug my phone into iTunes. I did so and then it said my phone needed to be "restored" but it said I was going to get my pictures, messages, music and contacts back later on. Now being one day later I did not get any of that back.

    If you don't have a backup then you can't get the data back.
    It's not typical for an update to require a restore, but for a handful of people the update gets interrupted, and this happens.

  • Printed pictures are too dark

    My pictures printed from Iphoto 5 are too dark, I have tried my home printer, kodak, and Fuji. The results are the identical. However, when I import the same pictures in Photoshop CS they print just fine.
    I am now having the Aperture 2.1.1 "trial" and i have the same exact problem with my home printer. In addition, some of the pictures (not all of them)are not sharp, they seem out of focus. I have exported the same pictures to my desktop and printed them with "Graphic Converter". The pictures are much better, but i still get a few which seem to be out of focus. I then took the same desktop images and used Photoshop Elements 6 ( also on trial)to print them. Photoshop is printing the pictures correctly (photoshop elements 6 does not have a printing profile for Mac's and the printing is managed by the printer's HP software). I must be missing a printer setting when using the Apple programs. My Aperture colorsync setting is set to "HP D7300 premium plus".I have a 1.8 Ghz G5, OSX 10.4.11, and an HP D7360 printer. Can anyone give me an idea of what i am doing wrong?

    Hello Donna,
    I use the printer settings:
    roll paper
    premium semigloss photo paper /250)
    color: color
    advanced settings: 1440dpi with no other boxes checked
    I turn off color management
    in LR the Profile I made for this special paper/printer is selected.
    It's the latest 9800 printer driver, downloaded just a few days ago.
    I came across the endless threads on maybe the same subject only some hours ago. (
    Sean McCormack, "Printing Problems in Lightroom" #70, 26 Feb 2007 6:19 pm) Tried the trick with chosing the 9800 as default printer, but it didn't help. The printer settings tell me the profile used is: *systemstandard* (that's german: some sort of default (standard) of the system. Maybe it's the same as the "generic RGB profile" mentioned, but I'm not sure.
    I also print from LR on a G5 to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via USB with absolutely no problems.
    Here I want to print from Lightroom on an Intel Duo Core to a networked printer, the 9800.
    I'd LOVE first of all to get a somehow *canonical* statement that printing on a networked printer from Lightroom is possible, Yes or No. (As I said before, it is no problem from PS CS3)
    If the common experience is, that one cannot print from LR to a networked (Epson pro) printer, then I'll surely not go on reading tons of discussions to find the needle in the hay.
    @ Donna: I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!
    @ Andreas: certainly the printer driver on the networked Mac G4 the Epson 9800 is attached to is older than the one on my Intel Mac. Is that what you mean? I'll try to fix that.
    @ dyp: the profile shown in the printer setting is: *systemstandard* (system default, in german). Looked up Color Sync in the library, I find the profiles folder, but nothing to chose any profile as my default. Where do you do that in Color Sync?
    Thank you all a lot for helping!

  • When i print from the web pictures are black and white not color

    Having trouble with printing from web the pictures are not color on;y black and white. Ink levels are fine and I have run cleaning and aligning tools. What other solutions am I missing?

    I have tried 100%, AutoZoom, Page width,page fit and actual size and they are all the same size. About 2/3s the size it should be. My printer is set correctly
    and I also reset the printer in msconfig as suggested by another helper. It changed to default and this has not helped. Do I need to reset the msconfig file back to user?

  • I did the 6.1.2 update and all of my pictures are deleted. HELP

    The 6.1.2 update came out today for the iphone and I updated it thinking it wasn't different than the last updates, well it ended up restoring which deleted all of my contacts, most of my songs, most of my apps and ALL OF MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS  from the past year. I havent had time to sync my phone in like a month so none of my pictures are on my laptop. How can I get it all back?

    Sorry, but if you didn't bother to back them up, they're most likely gone.

  • Half of my pictures are black after restoring iPhone on ios4!!

    I am having difficulty with my photos. My iPhone was really slow after the update so I heard restoring it would help. Yes, it did make it faster but...half of my pictures are completely blank. I can still open them up and see the pictures (well sometimes). I had some pictures that I was proud of and I can't even open them!! Ios4 is frustrating!!!

    So what should I do? Is there anything I CAN do? (I forgot that lol)

  • All Pictures are black

    All I can see in iPhoto are thumbnails, thumbnails and more thumbnails. Nothing but thumbnails!
    I've done:
    Repair Permissions
    Rebuild Thumbnails
    Repair Database
    Rebuild Database
    I've created a brand new blank library and imported a new photo.
    I've done a Reveal in Finder=>Original File and looked at and viewed the picture in a preview.
    But absolutely nothing will allow me to view a photo. Old photos, newly imported photos. Photos imported from my phone. Photos imported from my camera. Photos imported from my son's camera.
    What can I do? I'm desperate.
    I think this happened after I upgraded to Mavericks but I can't be sure.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Imported pictures are black

    I imported pictures into iPhoto and they are showing up as black rectangles. Yet when I doubleclick them to view them in editor the details of the pictures show up. Does anybody know why they show up as black rectangles, initially?? Are the smaller pictures the thumbnails? I don't want black thumbnails and would like to fix them so that they appear with picture details.

    You will have to do it outside of the library so export the all out of the library as original files. Then download and unzip this Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile and drop all of the photos onto it to batch process them. Import after completed.
    You can download the app from Toad's Cellar
