Camera Roll Blacked Out

I upgraded to 4.1...everything seemed to go ok but when I looked at my Camera Roll, all of my photos were blacked out! It's like a black sheet is over my photos. All the photos are still there but I can only view the photos I saved "after" I upgraded. If I just touch a spot on the blacked out sheet...one of my photos will show up...but I can't get rid of the "black sheet" over my photos!!!

Yeah, with 4.1, I guess you could say "black sheet happens." The only way I got rid of it was to transfer all the original images to my laptop and then transfer them back into an album. Of course, then I found out that "sideways sheet happens" too.

Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one? I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly. Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

*correction*
Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Camera Roll is out of order after Trimming clips

My iPhone 4 was getting full, so I decided to go and trim down some of the videos I had recorded. Now, the videos on my camera roll are all out of chronological order. The software put them right up front of the list, as if it was using the date I edited them, not the date that they were created. This is no good! How do I get my videos back in chronological order?
-Ben

Problem solved - but unsure of the cause. Turns out the ones that were out of order were duplicates of photos that appeared further up in my Camera Roll (and in the proper place, chronologically). Unsure why I had the duplicates, but simply deleted them to resolve.

LR3 Blacks out corners in UWA Lens Profile Corrections

Hello all,
I am fairly new at all this, so please forgive me if this question is ridiculous, but I cannot seem to get to the bottom of a particular issue. I recently went on a trip with a new Nikon D7000 and Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6. Most of the pictures (all RAW) with the Sigma turned out great. LR3 properly applied the automatic lens profile adjustment for those shots and ironed out most of the distortion. However, one photo turned out very weird. It looked like I shot through a tube, the extreme corners were totally blacked out (think 100% vignetting).
I thought this was weird, especially because it looked ok on the back of the camera. Sure enough, it was perfect when I opened the RAW with the Nikon software (and on the back of the camera) no blacked out corners. Confused, I turned off the auto profile adjustment for the lens on that image and the corners immediately came back. Its an artsy shot, so I am not too concerned about the loss of lens correction, but now I am concerned that some random image will show this problem down the road. I have attached a picture of the jpeg exhibiting the problem, and a link to the RAW so you can try to replicate it. I tried OTHER lens correction profiles and they all worked fine (no blacked corners). Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance

I downloaded your image and get the same result. It would seem that the profile is defective. I'll submit the bug report.

Camera Roll iCloud Storage

Does anyone know how the camera roll is handled when you purchase more space on iCloud than you have available on your iPhone? Does the camera roll expand out wirelessly and virtually on the iPhone to use the extra storage in the iCloud? I'm not talking about photostream here. You see I'm hoping that I don't have to use my PC anymore with my iPhone. And to do that I will be wanting to store all my photos on iCloud.

This Apple document answered many of my questions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
From my understanding:
I have enabled iCloud backup and the camera roll is included in that backup But unfortunately I have no access to it from the web (currently). And the camera roll on my iPhone 4 definitely does not expand out wirelessly and virtually to include the camera roll backup on the web.
If I delete a photo from my camera roll and then do a couple of iCloud backups then my photo might be gone for good. Not sure if iCloud is doing a differential or incremental backup or mirroring or something else. That said, I think that iCloud does keep my last three (full) backups. So I might be in luck if I delete a photo accidentally. But a full restore from iCloud would be required?
Once I run out of space on my iPhone 4 then I will probably need to move my excess pictures and videos off my phone and back them up separately.
I'm not getting rid of my computer just yet.

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.

Camera roll preview thumbs blacked out after OS4 update

After the latest iPhone 4.01 update, all the preview thumbs in my camera roll are displaying as black. New pictures display correctly, but ALL two hundred picture previews I had on the phone are black.

There are a couple of other threads on this issue and how to fix it (requires using a 3rd party desktop app to rebuild the image database), but with any luck it is fixed in 4.2, which should be out very shortly. If you search the forum you should find the suggestions if you don't want to wait or are cautious about updating.

Deleting photos out of camera roll leaves black spaces where pics used to b

Only happens on my iPhone 4. 3GS with os4 it doesn't.
Any ideas
For info they do disappear if u sync in iTunes.

You don't have to sync it or turn your phone off to get it to go away (one of which is annoying and the other is inconvenient). All you do is go back out of the camera roll, close the app, then open the multitask tray and delete Photos or Camera (you know by holding until they jiggle) and when you go back in to the apps, they are fixed.

IMoviemobile export to Camera Roll will not play with quicktime on PC (video plays but with black screen, audio ok)

Videos created in iMovie on the new ipad will not play on PC with Quicktime after being exported to the Camera Roll and copied to the PC. Movie will play but with a black screen only. Audio ok. Was able to do before ios 6 but not now.

I'm having the same problem. All of the movies I export out of iMovie since upgrading to the latest version show up with no video, only audio, in Quicktime. Ironically the video place just fine in Windows Media Player and also in iTunes.

SCAREY Black squares-"patches" in camera roll

how to remove black patches in the camera roll on the iphone?....

First remove all the photos from your phone and do a hard reset (home + power buttons until the apple logo appears)... Then check to make sure you have no black boxes....
Then try installing photos in bunches rather than all at once. There are a few ways to do this using the "selected photos" option in the photo tab in iTunes. I like to do it in small groups - say 10 photos at a time - until the problem shows up again ...once I find black boxes, I would remove that group and then sync those photos one at a time until I find the problematic one... and just keep on doing this until you isolate the problems - delete the problem photos (or put them in an album that you won't sync) as you locate them.
Other people recommend syncing half your photos - if black boxes appear in that group... delete the photos from your phone and then divide that group in half (sync 1/4 of your photos), etc. etc until you find the problems.
One thing that helped me find some of my corrupt photos (18 out of more than 15,600!) was that sometimes (but not always) iTunes would give me an alert box saying that a certain photo (identified by the file name) and XX others couldn't be sync'd because it wasn't in the correct format. So this helped me locate about half of the bad ones as I was going through the process. Unfortunately, iTunes never gave me more than one file name at a time - it would be nice if Apple revised that error message to give you a list of everything that was "in the wrong format."
So as not to lose the photos, my plan was to export them from iPhoto, delete the ones in iphoto, open the exported photos in another application and resave them before importing them again into iphoto. But as it turned out, every one of my corrupt photos turned out to have a duplicate in iPhoto... I can't say if this was indicative of the issue, but if you have a lot of photos you might want to try creating an album of just your duplicate photos and see if this is indeed a bad group.
It's a time consuming process, but worth it. If those corrupt files are causing issues in the phone, they might very well be causing other issues in your system.
By the way, once I got rid of the corrupt photos, syncing was infinitely faster....so I guess they were really hanging up the process

Camera roll pictures are out of order after upgrading to iOS 8.1

It's nice that iOS 8.1 brings camera roll back. However, pictures are out of chronological order. I'm using iPhone 5s. I upgraded iOS from 8.0.2 to 8.1, and noticed this issue.

That's weird cause my videos are all interspersed with everything else like they used to be, which unfortunately means it's inconsistently screwing up too. My pics start with 2007 (first year i got an iphone) then run up to about 2014 vaguely in order, then back to 2013 where everything's all out of order, then down to 2012 again (also out of order), then 2011, 2010, 2009 etc like it's running backwards to 2007. Then once it hits 2007 again, it jumps to this past july.
SO aggravating!

Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
4.) Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
5.) Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
In regards to backing up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
"No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
1.) It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
2.) Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
3.) Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos. (Tested it personally)
4.) Photo Stream has a limit according to: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
5.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 (As shown above)
6.) To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website. Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
7.) You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities. For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
8.) On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
"You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails"
Hope some of this information helps!

HT201317 I add all photos taken on camera roll to individual albums. However, once a photo is deleted from camera roll, it's also deleted from the albums where it also resides. Is there a way to delete or clear out the camera roll but keep them in albums?

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?

HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.
