Camera and Photo apps say 'Rebuilding Library'

I've read a couple posts, and wondering if anyone has found a solution yet? When I click on my Camera icon it starts to 'Rebuild Library' then goes back to the home screen. Same thing happens when I hit the Photos icon. I can not use the camera or see any photos I have saved on the iPhone. Extremely frustrating.
I saw a post that mentions using a third party program to retrieve the pictures but says you'll lose the videos. I don't want to lose anything (...although I fear I already have). And I'm not sure if that program addresses the loss of the camera application.
When I try to view the iPhone photo files through iPhoto it says there are no files there. Hmm. Very worrisome.
Does anyone have the solution? Bueller? Bueller?

I did hard reset and used the cord that came with the camera when trying to upload. I don't think it's an uploading problem. I think it's an issue with the new operating system.
Anyone?

  • Can't access photos in camera roll - camera and  photo app crashes

    Have iphone 4 with iOS 5.0. Took pictures but now I can't access any photo in the Camera Roll. When I now try to take a picture, Camera app crashes. If I try to access the Camera Roll via Photo App, it too crashes. Can't see the photos from iTunes either. Shows it as unknown data. Is there anyway to rebuild the photo library or remove a corrupted photo since I think that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Camera and Photos app keeps crashing!!!

    I had no problems last week until yesterday...i even did a clean restore but still the camera and photos app tend to crash
    it keeps stating "Please Wait" Updating Library...
    and the bar reaches up to about 30% loading and then crashes....anybody else having these problems on their 3gs?

    This means the answer is no - a clean restore does not mean you restored your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    All photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup alone for this data in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen and it is not replaced with another iPhone, or there is a hardware problem with your iPhone.
    I always import all photos and videos captured by my iPhone with my computer ASAP as with any other digital camera and as with any other digital camera, I delete the photos and videos from the camera after the import process is complete. This also helps to keep the iPhone's backup time to a minimum, provides me a copy of this data on my computer for viewing along with including this data with my computer's backup along with all other important data, and if I want any of the imported photos and videos available on my iPhone for viewing, I can transfer the photos and videos from my computer to my iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other photos/video.
    Try importing the photos/videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If no change after doing so, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

  • Why won't the Camera and Photos apps work? I can't access my photos or take new ones.

    I can no longer take new photos, or access my camera roll or photo stream from within the camera or photos apps.
    Several days ago I took an HDR photo and the phone became unresponsive on the "saving" dialog with the progress loop rolling. After 15 minutes, and multiple attempts at getting it un-hung, I forced a restart of the phone. Since then, whenever I take a picture, the app disappears and drops me on the home screen right after the "iris" graphic clicks on the screen. The same app crash happens when I simply try to look at previously saved pictures in either the camera or photos apps. Since then I have synched the phone, and performed a factory reset, and neither has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I get use of my camera back?

    I'm having the same problem, but am traveling for business right now so all I can do is restart the phone.  I don't live near an Apple store either, so I don't know how I'll get it fixed.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Photos App says 'Preparing Library...', gets to 65%, quits each time - help!

    I'm using a late 2012 iMac running 10.10.3, my iPhoto library is on an external hard drive. I am trying to install the new Photos app and each time I try it says "Preparing Library..." until it gets to about 65% done, and then the app quits and I get a message that it failed and quit.
    My iPhoto library is very large - approx. 350 gb.
    When I look at the disk where the iPhoto library is, I see that there are new Photos App libraries created for each of the times that I have tried to convert and it has failed, and some are large, even as large as the iPhoto library itself.
    Not sure what to do. I don't want to lose any of my photos, but right now they are inaccessible to me because the migration has prevented me from opening my old library.
    HELP!!!!!!!!

    A few of the messages I deleted (the last 2 days) now say
    "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    If this is the result of having deleted the *.emlx files manually, you're probably seeing this error message because there is still a reference to them in Envelope Index.
    Is there anyway to tell Mail to re-download these
    mail files and reconnect them?
    If they're still on the server, yes. Choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window to open the Account Info window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature. Now, choose the account that has the problem from the Account popup menu at the top of the window. Does Mail display there the messages that are missing? What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

  • My iPhoto closed unexpectedly and now it says "Rebuilding the iPhoto Library database". What is going on and are my photos still going to be there?

    My iPhoto closed unexpectedly and now it says "Rebuilding the iPhoto Library database". What is going on and are my photos still going to be there?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what were you doing when iPhoto closed unexpectedly?
    how big is your library, i.e. how many photos?
    how long has the rebuilding been going on?
    do you have a recent backup of the library made just prior to this occurring?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • IPhone 4 camera and photo application not working!!

    My iphone 4 camera and photo applications do not work anymore. When I tried to take a picture, the camera froze. I turned off my phone and when i turned it back on, the app will load, but when i tap to take the picture it returns to the home screen. The picture library application does the same thing. I try to load my picture library and when I tap to open it, it returns to the home screen.
    I have tried turning it off and on multiple times and also turned it off for an extended period of time and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions on what the problem could be or possible ways to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Tap Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom of list>Reset All Settings. If this does not help you could try a Restore with iTunes, and when asked at end Set Up as New. If this does not help and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
    Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

    Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
