Half of my pictures are black after restoring iPhone on ios4!!

I am having difficulty with my photos. My iPhone was really slow after the update so I heard restoring it would help. Yes, it did make it faster but...half of my pictures are completely blank. I can still open them up and see the pictures (well sometimes). I had some pictures that I was proud of and I can't even open them!! Ios4 is frustrating!!!

So what should I do? Is there anything I CAN do? (I forgot that lol)

Hello Dopeslayer242,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Most pictures are black in Photo's preview

Hi!
I restored a backup from Time Machine. Now most pictures are black in Photo's preview. How can I fix this?
Thank you

Did you restore an iPhoto Library or a Photos Library? Are your photos RAW or JPEG?
And how did you restore from Time Machine? Did you drag the library from the drive or did you open Time Machine and used "Restore"?

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone.

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone. What action can I take to convince phone that the SIM card is OK?

Hello again, update time.
Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
Cheers, Tom.

Pictures are gone after iOS 8 update

After the iOS 8 update, I went to my picture gallery and all but 43 of my pictures are gone. I've gone to Photos --> Collections and still, only those 43 images are there. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back?

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync them to the iPhone.
Did you update without making sure that you had imported everything to your computer?

RESTORING notepad info and iPhone shot pictures after restoring iPhone

I restored my iPhone after upgrading to 2.0 while trying to correct a problem only to finally solve this problem by re-installing the latest iTunes software at the suggestion of an Apple support tech person. I was aware that data would be erased, etc but was so frustrated by problem at the time I didn't care.
Now I remember some things I had on the notepad I had not 'noted' else where and I also had some pictures I took with my iPhone I would love to have back. Is there anyway I can recapture this information from a backup file, etc?

Photos captured by the iPhone should be included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes during the sync process.
Copied from this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
+*Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences.*+
Photos captured by the iPhone is not included with this list but it isn't a good idea to rely on the backup for photos that were captured by your iPhone. As with any other digital camera, you should import these photos to your computer. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this if you use iPhoto for photo storage and if not, you can use the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder to import these photos to the desired location on your hard drive. This way you have a copy of these photos on your computer not relying on the iPhone's backup for this only. If you don't import these photos and your iPhone is lost or stolen, these photos will be lost or stolen with your iPhone. And if your iPhone's backup become corrupt or there is a problem with it, you have a copy of the photos on your computer for access (which can be transferred to your iPhone via the sync process), and you can maintain a backup for these photos separately along with all your other important data.
Did you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?

PIcture goes black after making adjustments...Why?

I was using the repair tool to remove something from an image and my entire image went to black. Now its still there as a thumbnail but when I bring it up large on my screen, its a big black screen. Why is it doing this and how do I correct this? I noticed this a lot when I first started using Aperture and never figured out how to fix the issue other than clicking UNDO a few times and then I would see my picture again but that doesn't solve the issue if I need to edit the image!
thanks!
By the way there is nothing showing in my Histogram either which is VERY STRANGE!!! Correction when I click on a slider, I do see the levels in my histogram but once I release the mouse from the slider, it goes empty and my image remains black.

This has happened to me as well. "Something" has corrupted my library. I have had to repair and rebuild my database several times. The "picture goes black" was a symptom. Shortly after that the color wheel started and Aperture crashed. Had to "force quit", then repair/rebuild.
My guess is there is a corrupt picture. If I could determine which one and remove it, I would.
I never had this problem until upgrading to version 3. I'm current with Snow Leopard and Aperture.
Never thought I would see an Apple Application crash as often as a Windows application.

When i print from the web pictures are black and white not color

Having trouble with printing from web the pictures are not color on;y black and white. Ink levels are fine and I have run cleaning and aligning tools. What other solutions am I missing?

I have tried 100%, AutoZoom, Page width,page fit and actual size and they are all the same size. About 2/3s the size it should be. My printer is set correctly
and I also reset the printer in msconfig as suggested by another helper. It changed to default and this has not helped. Do I need to reset the msconfig file back to user?

All iPhone4 Flash Pictures Are Black Dark?

I searched the forums and don't see this particular problem. It might have coincided with an IOS upgrade on my iPhone4, but I'm not sure. This did used to work, but now any flash picture I take with my iPhone4, the short preview looks OK, but the thumbnail and saved pictures are both black. I tried rebooting the phone, Auto and manual flash, HDR, etc. with no change. Movies with the flash on are OK. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix?

i also have this problem. except the preview with mine is also black. anyone figure anything out yet?

I just downloaded pictures off of a flash drive, and half of the pictures are messed up?

I just downloaded pictures off of my flash drive and half of the picture comes out really oddly.... Example:
Does anyone know what is causing this?

Yes, forgetting the pictures, you desktop background is showing these color issues?
You need to contact Apple for diagnostic / repair. You have a hardware issue with the logic board or logic feeder cable to monitor (unlikely the monitor itself).
You just bought it and its a Retina macbook Pro correct? Never dropped or any water spills?
I was hoping that wasnt it until you said that.
while you STILL CAN see everything (even if off color) backup up ALL VITAL DATA to an external mem stick or hard drive. Documents, pics, working files, etc etc

Can't send and receive SMS/MMS/iMessages after restoring iPhone from a backup

I can't receive and send any type of messages with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.6) after restoring it from my old backup (also 6.1.6).
Messages that I'm sending are disappearing immediately after the moment they are sent and they are never delivered. The first time I restored my iPhone I could send and receive messages for 1 day, and I couldn't do it on the next day. This time I was able to send and receive messages for 10 minutes.
I have used the methods Apple recommends for problems like this, but it doesn't help.

Hello StepanyanMuradyan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Waiting for Activation message appears after restoring iPhone.

Hello!
I recently restored my iPhone and now it will not connect to any network towers. It keeps saying that I have no service when I usually always do. And it only allows me to connect to wifi. Any suggestions on what to do?

Jenger, thank you so much for trying that out for us. This does seem a little odd to me. I would love to make sure we get you up and running with no issues. Do you have the most current iTunes downloaded on the computer? What I would try to do is try to place the phone into recovery mode through iTunes. The way you can complete this is by powering the phone off all the way. Have the USB plugged into the computer. Plug the device into the USB charger while you are pressing and holding the home button. Keep that home button held down until it pops up on iTunes that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". then you will press on Ok, and then Tap on Restore iPhone, then select "Restore and Update" Please keep us posted.
