Camera Roll Trouble

OK, so when I go to the photos app on my iPhone 3GS, and I tap Camera Roll, only about half of my pictures show up. The rest are simply black thumbnails. However, when I tap on one, the picture shows up full screen. This is really annoying, and I would like to fix this. I've tried to do a hard restart to no avail.
Hopefully there is something I can do. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

There was a short thread on this a couple of days ago:

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes. Is adobe photoshop the only program I can use?

You don't see them in iTunes. In theory your computer should see the device as a camera and you should be able to transfer the photos in the same way as if you'd connected a 'proper' camera to your computer (this only applies to photos taken with the device or saved from emails/websites etc, it doesn't apply to photos that were synced from your computer). There is some help/guidance in this article for transferring photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Trouble accessing Camera Roll in Photos

when i go into Photos, the top option is Camera Roll, but now a heading Albums is over the top of it and I cannot select Camera Roll, any suggestions?

For those of you needing the step by step...
1 - Press the HOME button until you get back to your HOME screen.
2 - Press the HOME button twice, somewhat rapidly.
3 - The home screen should FADE, and rise up to reveal a row of four icons across the bottom. If your PHOTOS are not one of those four, swipe the icons to the left to reveal the next four. Repeat this until you see PHOTOS.
4 - Press and hold PHOTOS for about 2 seconds. All four visible icons will start to wiggle and a red MINUS sign will appear on each one.
5 - Release your hold on PHOTOS, then tap the red minus sign on PHOTOS. This will "close" the photos app.
6 - Press the HOME button twice, somewhat rapidly.
7 - Relaunch your PHOTOS app. Should be fixed.

Trouble with camera roll, pic transfer to iPhoto since update to ios 5.

since I updated to ios 5; when I take a picture it goes to the bottom left corner as before but when I click on it, it opens and shows a 'saving' icon that never goes away. I now have 'albums' that show 'camera roll' and 'photo stream' but neither of these show up in my iPhoto when i connect my phone to my Mac. I am running iPhone4 with ios5 and iPhoto 8.1.2

I turned off photo stream and now if I take a picture it doesn't go into old camera roll where all my other pics are ... it has created another camera roll that only appears from the camera screen and I am unable to do anything with them...when I touch the screen it starts the 'neverending save icon'...help!

Im having troubles importing my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhoto because they're not in my camera roll. It;s saying they're in my 'mac events' but my computer isn't recognizing it. Does anyone know what to do? please help.

I just got a new macbook and before i had to sync all my photos from my old mac onto a bunch of flash drives and most are on my phone. Ive successfully imported the flash drives and the photos on my camera roll to my new macbook iPhoto but not the other 1,000+. My computer isn't recognizing it maybe because its in 'mac events'. Does anyone know what to do? Please help it would be greatly appreciated especially since i don't have much room left on my iphone anymore. thank you.

You'll need third party software to get the images not on your camera roll. iExplorer is one such app, but there are others. Search on MacUpdate

New iPhone has trouble loading Camera Roll

Got a new iphone, had icloud back everything up but camera roll isn't showing up. It's showing me that i have the correct number of pictures but it's been contstantly "Loading..." for 2.5 hours. Any idea if they will load properly? Anything I can do to expedite?

Welcome to the Apple Community mmcgowan.
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.
ensure that you have a decent wifi signal.

Where is my iPod's camera roll backup, and how can I get it back onto iPod

I was having trouble with my iPod Touch 5 and the new update of iTunes, 12.0.1.26. I digress here but this is why I hate updating iTunes, and now kinda hate Apple stuff in general, because every time I've updated iTunes in the past it's given me trouble with my devices and syncing. But I'm not here to hate on Apple, I love my device, I just wish the software and workflow was more intuitive.
But on to my problem. I plugged in my iPod and opened the iTunes update. Bought some songs from the store, decided to rework my playlists, but when I try to sync them to my ipod, it doesn't show up. The playlists show up in my ipod within itunes, but i can't access them from my ipod because they aren't there. The songs I purchased from the store show up perfectly well, I just had to download them from the cloud. But my new lists with the songs uploaded from my computer won't work.
Long story short I finally got tired of this and restored my ipod. Mostly because I couldn't find anyone else on here with the same problem and didn't want to take the time to ask. Looking back, that might've been a better idea.
I have restored the backup and I have all my old apps, and I have my new playlists. All I'm missing is my photo roll, which I don't understand why it wasn't restored along with all my apps.
I am wondering if this is possible because there were many pictures on there that have special meaning to me.
Thank you!

- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account. Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos. Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads. I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using. It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken?

You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

Exporting to camera roll from app turns to negative

Ever since I updated my iPad's OS to 7, I am having trouble exporting the images I create with Paper by Fiftythree to my camera roll. The images turn to negatives and they remain that way even when I email them or upload from there. Is it a problem with the OS, with the camera roll or with Paper by Fiftythree? In order to continue using the iPad for my work as an illustrator, I have to email each images to myself, which is time consuming. I haven't found anything to indicate that anyone else is having the same problem. Can anyone help me??

Close the Camera app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

Moving Screenshots in Camera Roll in Bulk to Desktop

I'm having trouble moving a bunch of iPhone screenshots (great feature) from the iphone to iTunes and/or my PC.
For some reasons iTunes isn't recognizing the screenshots in the camera roll, and I can't figure out how to get this done. I can send the image one email at a time, but i see from an earlier post/answer that you can't attach more than one image to an email. yuck!
I have a lot of screenshots I'm trying to move.
Help? and Thanks..

Have you ever imported photos from a digital camera with your computer? If so, what did you use for the import?
When your iPhone includes photos in the camera roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer and should be treated in the same way.
You can use the Windows Camera and Scanner wizard when your iPhone is connected.

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!!
Iphone 4

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.

Is it possible to put photos back onto Camera Roll.

This will sound silly but I updated my phone yesterday and was having trouble syncing with my pc. So i took all the Photos from the camera roll and saved them on my desktop. However, upon updating I have noticed 2 things :
I now have seperate folders for the camera roll on DCIM (They are grouped into years it would seem) when i open my phone on autoplay.
and secondly.
I cannot add photos to the camera roll. I had 1800 pictures from all over the world which I liked having on there due to the places icon in Photos.
Is there anyway of adding these photos back onto the camera roll, or am I going to have to suck it up and chalk it down to experience.
Thanks in advance.

I had this question too, but I didn't want to compromise. After hours of research: Dropbox
I have been putting pictures onto my laptop from my phone because I kept on filling up my iCould backup because I only had 5 GB of storage. I recently upgraded to 50 GB of storage. So now I am painfully putting every picture into camera roll.
I personally I am doing this on a 10.8.1 Macbook Pro running a quad 2.6 i7 w/ 8GB of RAM if anyone is curious.
First click on Finder, click on Pictures, select the pictures you want by drawing a box over the pictures you want to save to Dropbox and then right-click over the selected items and click on Copy X Items
Next click on the Dropbox select the folder you want to save the pictures to, right click in an empty space and select Paste X Item
Wait until you see green check marks like in the screen shot above to ensure the pictures are uploaded. Then go to your iPhone. In this case an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1. I am going to assume you know how to search for and install an app, so go and get Dropbox from the App Store
Go ahead and choose a picture go ahead and save it. Now keep on repeating until the job is done. Here is what one picture save looks like.
I know it says photo library, but here is my Camera Roll with pictures that I saved using Dropbox. I edited outit all the faces.
