Can't access any photos, Camera Roll sends me to home screen?

Yesterday I took over 100 photos on my phone for work.  After returning to the office and attempting to sync them to the cloud the process froze and never completed.
Afterward I am unable to view any of the photos in the Camera Roll.  Each time I click on Camera Roll it sends me back to the home screen.  If I take another picture it sends me back to the homescreen after the photo is taken.  Plugging the phone into the computer does not allow me to access the photos either, it doesnt show them as being available and I cannot transfer them to my computer in any way.
Any suggestions?

After posting my question I found a topic with the exact same problem, unfortunately the solution was to restore the phone...this is not the solution I was hoping for as I cannot lose all the photos I've taken.  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  For reference I've included the other link below.

  • Can't access any photos in Lr after upgrade from Lr5 to Lr5.3.

    Just upgraded from Lr5 to Lr5.3.  Now can't access any photos in Lr.  I suspect a catalogue issue.  Any suggestions?

    "can't access" ??
    By what method are you trying to access these photos? What module of Lightroom are you in when you try this? What exact steps in Lightroom are you using ... please use the Lightroom name of the steps, as technically there is no step called "access", so I honestly have no idea what the step is that you are trying. What happens when you try to "access" the photos? Is there an error message?

  • Where are my devices? I can't access phone/photo cards or card reader.

    All of a sudden, card readers, my phonev card and cards from my camera do not show on my apple home page. I can not access any photos. My only option is to download to my husband's and use a flash drive. What

    Thank you for your prompt reply!
    I was afraid you were going to tell me to do a hard reset! Unfortunately, I've never hot sync this phone before (I don't use it as a palm, only as a phone and occasionally play some of the games) so I don't have the program on my computer to back up my data. Given that I'm traveling (and never anticipated something like this) I did not bring the CD or the wire. Someone is in the process of mailing them to me.
    In the meantime, you mentioned checking the memory? Although I don't think I'm short on memory space given that I don't really "save" anything on this device, I am desperate enough to try anything while waiting for the software to arrive. How do I go about checking the memory?
    Once again thank you so much for your help.

    Known bug.  Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.

  • I can't access my photos in camera roll.

    I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

    I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
    I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

    More possible bad news.  If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150.  Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
    So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it.  So I'll make another request.  Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
    If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
    The choice is yours.  You can ignore this and take the risk.  Or do what has been requested.

  • After upgrading iPhoto on my MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 it continually keeps asking me that it is preparing library. This has happened 5 times now and I can't access my photo's through iPhoto, any suggestions?

    After upgrading iPhoto on my MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 it continually keeps asking me that it is preparing library. This has happened 5 times now and I can't access my photo's through iPhoto, any suggestions?

    There is no upgrade to iPhoto with OS X 10.10.3 - here was an update to version 9.6.1 a few months ago and Photo 1.0 was added with 10.10.3 - what software and which version are you having trouble with - iPhoto or Photos?

  • Which can I delete...camera roll or photo stream?

    Which can I delete...camera roll or photo stream?

    Hello cleofigaro
    You can delete from both places if you want. All you would need to do is view the photo that you do not want and then tap the trashcan icon in the lower right hand corner. If you want to do more photos at once, when looking a multiple photos tap the Select button in the upper right hand corner and then tap the photos and videos that you want deleted and then hit the trashcan to remove them

  • How can I manually set the Camera Roll to start at an arbitrary image number, i.e., IMG_0553.JPG?

    I have an iPhone 4s, currently with iOS 5.1. I use it with my desktop computer which runs Windows Vista (and has the latest iTunes installed 10.6), and my laptop, which has Windows 7 and the latest iTunes. I use iCloud and Photo Stream primarily with the desktop computer.
    Since receiving the iPhone on launch day, (Nov...14?, 2011), I've had to "Set [it] up as new" twice, most recently this morning.
    After setting it up as new, the Camera Roll starts over with pictures at IMG_0001.JPG. That means, that, after my first picture after this latest reset, I'll have three pictures all initially named IMG_0001.JPG, and instead, I'll have IMG_0001.JPG, IMG_0001 (1).JPG, and IMG_0001 (3).JPG in my photo library. This robs me of the ability view my photos sorted by name, which is often the default sort order in my photo folders, and still see them chronologically. I can, of course, sort them by Date Created, but it would be more flexible if I could do either one.
    Therefore, I'd like to set Camera Roll to start numbering its photos starting with whatever the next number higher than all the rest in my library would be, in this case, IMG_0553.JPG.
    I can't just use Windows to go into the iPhone's Camera Roll and rename the first photo I take to be IMG_0533.JPG. The iPhone just doesn't allow tampering with the filename that way. Can I even count on Camera Roll to note the presence of the highest numbered file in its folder and then just name the next picture taken the next higher number?
    Since I have no reason to believe that I won't have to reset the phone again, I'd like for whatever method I find to be one that I can use to set the Camera Roll to start at whatever other number I need when the time comes.
    Suggestions welcome...
    I have an idea that I'm about to try...I'll report back if it succeeds...
    UPDATE: So what I tried to do was, with an empty Camera Roll, I uploaded a picture with the filename and number that I wanted (IMG_0533.JPG) into my Photo Stream, then saved that picture to my Camera Roll, hoping it would retain the file name, and then Camera Roll would just use the next number. That didn't work. It saved into Camera Roll as a brand spanking new IMG_0001.JPG.

    To bring the solution into this thread, here are the consolidated solution bits from the other thread:
    I installed i-Funbox and found the file referenced in that other thread ( iPHone / Raw File System / PhotoData / MISC / DCIM_APPLE.plist ).
    That file has a section that I'm replicating below that is the part that that original poster edited, and is the part that needs to be edited for my problem also:
              <key>DCIMLastFileNumber</key>
              <integer>5</integer>
    That other thread's original poster wanted his photos to start with 0001, so he set his "DCIMLastFileNumber" to 0.
    I wanted my next picture to be IMG_0553.JPG, so I edited my file's 5 to 552.
    I did that editing by first copying the file to my laptop (using the Copy To PC command), then opening it up in a text editor. I did the edit, then saved it.
    After that, I used i-Funbox' "Copy From PC" command to copy the edited file back to the same location, hoping that the program would take care of any permissions, etc.
    I had to do the Copy From PC twice.
    On the first try, it seemed to copy just fine, but, for whatever reason, the copied file was empty when I opened it for verification. But I tried again, and that seemed to work (opened for verification, and it was as expected).
    I then unplugged it, copied a picture from the Photo Stream to the Camera Roll, then plugged it into my laptop to verify the filename. It was exactly as I wanted: IMG_0533.JPG. Then, for fuller verification, I unplugged it, took a new picture, then replugged it in, and confirmed that the next pictures (I had HDR on) were IMG_0534.JPG and IMG_0535.JPG.
    ...and that's where I am. Nothing has crashed yet, too, which is all to the good ('course, I haven't done anything else with the phone yet).
    Fingers crossed!

  • Can't Access Aperture Photos from Other Applications

    I am using the trial version of Aperture. I can't access the photos in Aperture from Photoshop, Word or any other application (except Mail). I can see the icon for Aperture and the words "Aperture 3 Trial Library" but it is grayed out. Is there a setting or what? I have Snow Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6.5.

    I guess one thing that bothers me about all my pictures being "bundled" in iPhoto or Aperture is that they don't show up in the Finder.
    This is a real non-issue. A Package is simply a folder that looks like a file. Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library or the Aperture Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    See? There are all your files, in folders.
    Why are they Packaged? Because if you move, rename, or alter them then you will corrupt your Library. So it's a simple protection for the structure of the Library. That's all. No big secret.
    But there are other things you need to consider too.
    Supposing you want to attach a file to an Email in Aperture. Presumably you want to send the edited file of your photo. So, how do you do that +when there is no edited file+? Aperture doesn't actually edit the file at all it simply records the decisions you have taken and shows them to live when you view the pic. All your edits are "virtual". So, the fact that your original files are stored out the the package will be no help to you at all.
    iPhoto is pretty much the same - though the details are different.
    So, you have to use the applications when you want to access the files for whatever reason - editing, printing, sharing, whatever. That's the point of these apps. They are your Photo Manager, what AddressBook is to your Contacts, iTunes is to your Music and so on.
    Here's a macro I use for when these questions come up on the iPhoto Forum. Most - if not all - of these will also work for Aperture:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *_(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)_*
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto or Aperture
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto or Aperture not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. This produces, producing a copy.
