Can't view ANY photos...camera roll or otherwise

My wife's iphone had firmware 2.2.1 . She had 300 + pics on her camera roll. She downloaded some sort of Photo Edit application from the app store for $1.99 or so. After she installed this application, the phone would no longer allow her to view her camera roll. When I click on "Camera Roll" under "Photos", all of the pictures are solid white. I tried deleting the app which she purchased and restarting the phone. That did not work. Next, I upgraded her firmware to 3.0 and then restarted her iphone. Now, when viewing "Camera Roll", the entire screen is black and she also cannot view many pictures on "Facebook", etc. I'm looking for a way (if there is one) to save her camera roll pictures. I only want to restore her phone if it is absolutely necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It would appear to me this application is what started the problem. Have you tried to delete that application and see if things work? Also, if you are taking that many photos in the camera roll and are not downloading them periodically to the computer, and pardon me for being frank, you are inviting problems. The iPhone, like any computer device can have problems and you could lose all those photos. The only way to ensure backing the photos up is to download them to the computer. Try removing the application and see what happens. You can then try a reset on the phone by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo and release the buttons. Ignore the slider when it appears. The reset will not effect any data. Hope that helps you.

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.

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

I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. I put it back as soon as I realized. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

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!

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: 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.

We can't get to the camera roll right now

I have a dell Latitude 10 table with Windows 8.1 RT. Last week I decided to unload all the pictures from the camera roll to my PC and I did it without a problem, but in the process I removed the camera roll folder under the public pictures library. Since
then, the camera app is not working and it gives me the following message: "We can't get to the camera roll right now". I've re-created the folder, set the default save location and public save locations to the Public Pictures folder but the error
keeps popping up every time I open the camera application. If I try to shoot a photo or a video it tells me that it couldn't be saved. How do I set the camera app to use the new folder?

I had the same Problem, and all experts could not help. I even dowloaded tools that say thy would fix the problem. Anyway as a matter of fact it still is a computer, no magic.
I found a way: Open regedit, search for "User Shell Folders".
Then check all the directories.
In my case one of the directories refered to the one I deleted. I just changed it and restarted my computer.
On my iconia it saves into this key:
I changed it | Keep the Name of the folder "Camera Roll" depending on your language it will rename the folder in the Explorer library automaticly. (in Germany to Eigene Aufnahmen)

Can not view my photos in iPhoto. All photos are black

I have an iPad 3 and I can not view my photos. I can view them through the photo stream on my phone but on my iPad they come up black. I'm not sure what to do.

Anybody have any idea what's going on? Is gif supported? Should I be able to view gif photos? If I can't what might be going wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

Updated my iPhoto 7 and can't view any of my pictures

I updated my iPhoto 7 and now I can't view any of my thumbnails or pictures.

Kellie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have a backup copy of your iPhoto 6 library folder? Also do you get an "!" in the window when you try to view the photo in the edit mode? If you do then iPHoto has lost the link to the files. Try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I can't view my photos.

It shows that i have about 250 photos in my i-photo library but there is only about ten that i can view. The others have a blank square and no photo showing in them. It won't even let me edit the ones i can view.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make a backup of your library and then run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
