Black squares in camera roll instead of photos , only since upgrade to 7.1.  Help please

Can anyone help me please....  I updated my Ipad 2 and iPhone 4s with the new software are requested (7.1). Since then my photos in camera roll on both devices have gone haywire,  it seems that random pictures have been replaced with black squares and if I try and save an image from a website it saves just as a black square in the album.  I have tried many of the ideas on this website but to no avail, does anyone know why this is happening please and how to correct it. Or is it possible to restore to the previous software please. 
I am trying to save photos off my website to use in documents but can't save any
Thanks for any help

I was on 7.1 and just updated to 7.1.2. Issue is I dint backup my iphone in 6 months as I did not have a permanent laptop. Now I just got a new laptop and decided to backup my iphone and also upgrade to 7.1.2.  Issue is - while the update was in progress I disconnected the cable since I was getting late for an appointment. Now when I got finally upgraded to 7.1.2, I dont see my apps and music anymore. They all seem to disappear. I cant even back up to the older date. All I see is the option to back up to the 7.1.2 version only. The only solace is I still have photos intact. Rest all data seems to be gone. Please help!!! urgent!!!
Apps aren't part of the backup, only the app data.
See if you can redownload apps - settings - apps - update - purchase - hit cloud to redownload app.
Did you copy your iTunes media library to your new laptop?

    Whats the difference between my camera roll an my photo stream?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Camera Roll has got the photos taken with your device and that are stored in your device. Instead, Photo Stream is an iCloud service that allows you to sync your Camera Roll photos to all your devices

  • 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.

  • How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    Hi,
    It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help.
    I have discovered that Camera Roll reappeared when I took a pic using my iPad camera.
    Previously I had not done that. Stupid me.
    Your attempt to help me is much appreciated.

  • How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

    I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
    Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
    Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in.

  • How do I upload a photo/graphic to facebook from an album other than my camera roll?  It will only open camera roll!!!  HELP!!

    How do I upload a photo/graphic to facebook from an album other than my camera roll?  It will only open camera roll!!!  HELP!!

    Kudos! I too am frustrated about this change to my personal page. I also know Apple is not to blame. I also manage a page for the company I work for using pages app. And that app is UN affected and I can choose from any photo stored on my phone (4). I do keep them seperate so I can keep a professional aspect for the company. But if you want your personal page linked to your public or work page, this maybe the work around your looking for.
    Hope this helps. Now go like my work page please. Copies Unlimited in Milan TN.

  • I don't see my camera roll in my photos app. Help!

    I don't see my camera roll in my photos app. I can see all my pictures in the collections, but there is a lot of white space and I'm not yet used to finding pictures that way if I don't know when/where I took them. I want my camera roll back. Is there a way to do this?
    Additional information:
    I just updated to iOS 8
    I have an iPhone 5C
    I already tried turning my photo stream on and off in settings

    Hey Penopoly,
    It sounds like you may be having some issues finding your pictures in iOS 8. Here is an article that should be able to help you address this:

  • When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

    When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
    Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

    You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
    No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
    If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • HT4910 How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream?

    How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream? It seems it is supposed to do it automatically , but it does not.

    Photos are normally uploaded automatically as long as you are connected to wifi, have the camera app closed and have at least 20% battery life remaining.  (It doesn't require a manual iCloud backup first.)
    If yours are working, if you haven't already done so, try turning off photo stream, then turn it back on.
    Sometimes people have issues getting photo stream to work on their home wifi, even if other devices in the home seem to work fine.  To troubleshoot this as a possible cause, some things to try include:
    Power-cycling your router (unplug for 15 seconds, then plug back in), then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then rejoin your wifi network.
    See if there is a firmware update available for your router.
    Change the DNS settings in your router to Google's Public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using)
    As a diagnostic step, go to a public wifi hotspot and take a photo, then wait a minute or so to see if it appears in your My Photo Stream album on your phone.  If it does, this confirms that the problem is with your home wifi.
