Can't see photos after iphone is synced

after downloading and installing Itunes 10.5, I did the software upgrade (os5).  My phone was backed up and then it asked me if I wanted to restore as a new phone or from backup from the computer.  I selected backup from computer (windows XP). 
Sync was complete and I ejected devide from computer.  I then checked and had all the folders but there were empty.  None of the photos were in the individual folders.  I only had the photos from camera roll. 
Can someone help?  Don't know what to do.  I even purchased extra storage (10 gb).
Would appreciate any help
thank you

Hi all,
After much research I managed to find a way to get the iPhone photo library working again, however any photos you had previously took will be lost in the below process.
Before you begin ensure your iPhone data has been backed up onto the iCloud. Do this manually by going into Settings, iCloud, Storage & Backup, Backup now. (You need to be connected to WiFi to do this)
Once everything has been backed up you need to delete your photos from iCloud, by going into Settings, iCloud, storage & backup.
The next screen should ‘show backups’ with a picture of your iPhone underneath, tap on this image and you will now be presented with your backup options where you see quite a few of your apps set as ‘On’. These are applications that have been backup up on your iCloud.
Find the ‘On’ switch for your Camera, turn this off. By doing this iCloud will inform you that all your photo backups will be deleted from the iCloud.
To restore your iPhone to the factory settings go to settings, general, reset, erase all content & settings. Or connect to iTunes and do a factory restore. Once the restore is complete the phone will then give you the option to restore your iPhone from your computer or iCloud, choose iCloud. Be warned this process does take quite sometime to restore your apps, music, contact etc. Apart from your photos as you deleted the back up.
Apparently the iPhone photos become corrupt if you save a picture image when you browsing the web on Safari. In future don’t click on a picture and choose save image. Screen shot it be pressing the home & power button together.
I hope this has helped you both. Any questions please feel free to ask.

  • HT4906 Can't see photos after upgrade to 5s

    Hi all, I just updated my phone from a 4 to a 5s. The problem I'm having is that when I open camera I can see there's 842 of 842 photos in the camera but unfortunately I can't see any of the images - they're all greyed. There's a little cirlcle spinning and it says loading but nothing appears to happen. Scared I've lost them! I tried looking at them through instagram and same thing. HELP please

    Hello simmoaus,
    I know not being able to view your photos can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Can't see photos after update to 9.3.2

    I'm using Lion 10.7.4 and recently updated to iPhoto 9.3.2. 
    Though I can see my photos in thumbnails they will not show up in the iPhoto window when double clicked.
    Each event is (blank) black though it retains its title.
    I've tried command-option while opening iPhoto and repairing permissions/rebuilding to no avail.
    For some reason my users/home folder/Library folder is not showing up in the Finder so I can't dump the .plist files.
    Suggestions are much appreciated.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Can't see photos after moving iphoto library to new imac.

    The info for each picture and folder is there but there is not thumbnail or image.  Any help? 

    Then  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't see photos taken on iPhone on my iPad

    I have done the setup for iCloud using the settings screens on my iPhone and iPad but can't see photos taken on one device on the other. What am I missing?

    Check Settings>iCloud to be sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos.  They are uploaded when the camera is closed, you are connected to wifi, and your device has at least 20% battery life remaining.

  • How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

  • Can't see manual after download. Says get Acrobat. Have Adobe. Shop says $449! Just want to read an iphone 4 manual

    Can't see manual after downloading several times from Apple. Somewhere else says have to get Acrobat to read. Have Adobe. Acrobat on Apple site is over $400! All I want to do is read an iphone 4 manual.

    Acrobat Reader is free.  Or try this:
    1. Select the file.
    2. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.
    3. In the Open With section select Preview from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click on the Change All button.
    This will assign Preview as the default application for opening PDF files.  Now, if you downloaded the manual on your iPhone, then you need a PDF reader app.  Try the free GoodReader app.  Or you can download the manual in iBook format.

  • Cannot see photos after upgrading to iPhoto 9.1.3

    I upgraded my iPhoto to 9.1.3 and now I cannot see some of my photos.  iPhoto indicates the photos are there, but all I see is blank dotted frames where thumbnails should be. When I click on one of the photos I get a gray out frame with an exclamation in the middle.  I tried rebuilding the library/thumbnails, extracting using iPhoto LIbrary Manager, checking disk permissions/repairing in Utilties, etc.  I tried every suggestions and recommendations I found on the net, but I still cannot see those files.  I regret deleting them off my camera disc.  These are the only masters I have.  So I can't copy them back into the library. If anyone know how I can retrieve these files, please let me know.   I also went back in my Time Machine and the same files are all empty gray frames.  All I know is that the files were "visible" before the upgrade and now I can't see them after the upgrade.  Any suggestions?

    Hi - yes I did that last night and unlike rebuilding via control option route, IPLM did not rebuild those files.  It stated they do not exist.  I double checked by "Show Package Contents" and the master of those files is no longer there.  My next move is to go into Time Machine and see if I can restore the library from when the files were still in there (though unseen by iPhoto) and hope the master are still recoverable.  If that doesn't work, then I'm at the point of accepting that perhaps I may have lost 51 photos (1 event) during this upgrade.  I'm still open to suggestions though.

  • HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

    how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

  • HT1386 I can not see/find my iPhone within iTunes when I plug it in.

    I can not see/find my iPhone within iTunes when I plug it in.  I have updated iTunes, and the iPhone.  I am running Windows 8, which is the one variable that has changed since I was last able to sync.

    Hi julianrpoma,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear what you mean when you say you cannot access it, and/or how a new iPhone was set up with an old account. If your Apple ID/iCloud account is now different, you may want to try changing the iCloud settings, as well as any other Apple ID settings, as outlined in the following article (apologies if that is what you are currently doing):
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you are still having issues, as this is a new iPhone you may want to try restoring it to factory settings and setting it up as new, including your correct updated account information:

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
    In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).
