HT4623 recently installed apps can't access photos on my iPhone

Operating Details:
Device: iPhone 5
Carrier: Verizon
iOS: 6.1.3
Goal: I'd like to update my profile picture on one of my Twitter accounts using an image stored on my iPhone in my Photos.
Issue: When I try to edit a profile picture in any of the apps I recently installed (within the last 5 days) I receive error message.
Message: This app does not have acces to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings.
Action: When I go to Settings > Privacy > I only see the Factory Apps (Twitter and Facebook).
Issue: I don't see the other apps I've installed; Linked In, Pinterest, for example. And the options for Twitter and Facebook only show the other apps that have asked permission to interact with it.
Action: When I go to Settings > Photos & Cameras
Issue: I don't see any apps, only options to edit my experience when viewing photos.
Action: When I go to Settings > scroll down
Issue: I see all of the apps I have installed but if I click on them, I am not given options to edit the privacy settings for them.
Question: How do I edit the settings so that the apps I have installed can interact with the photos stored on my phone?

Many thanks for alll of this. I had the same problem and you showed me how to solve it. I assumed that when I went to Settings, General, Restrictions which in my case were set to Off that I would be ok. Not so when I returned the Restrictions to On and went through each one there was the app which I wanted to have access and I just turned it on. Evertything no OK so thanks for the help.

IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them. I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off. I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

I can't access photos on my iPhone that i want to delete

I have an iphone5 that when synced through iTunes tells me there are 84 photos on the phone. But, I can't see these on the phone camera roll or through either iTunes or iPhoto. Can anyone tell me how to get access to them so I can delete them?

Silly question but have you tried restarting your phone? Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release.

How can I access photos on my iphone through icloud using another device

I'm trying to get acess to the photos taken from my ipad, I turned on icloud photo stream on my devices, where can I find those photos using my mac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Turn on Photostream in your system preferences > iCloud settings.
Assuming iPhoto is up to date, turn on photostream in iPhoto preferences.
Photos in photostream should start to sync with your Mac.

Security photo - does not show any apps that have requested access. I can not access photos via apps. How to fix it?

Apps can not access photos.
Apps never asked if they could access photos.
Security>Photos - there are no apps on the list.
I have restarted.
Backed up, restored.
No improvement.
Thanks.
ps my iphone allows access, so I know 'how' to do it usually.

Found the answer:
Go to settings/general/restrictions/photos and allow the apps to have access to photos

Apps can't access my photos or contacts. But they don't appear in privacy or restrictions to turn them on.

My apps can't access photos or contacts. They don't appear in the privacy or restrictions settings
so there is no option to turn them on.

Hi Nick:
Welcome to discussions!
Go into your iPhoto library and delete all of the keywords. Then restart your Mac.

Can't access photos via windows, everything else works iTunes, external software etc.

Hello,
Since I installed Windows 8.1 I have quite big problem, can't access photos via windows explorer. iTunes and other software can see phone and works completely fine.
There is error 28 in device manager.
Tried uninstalling all services including iTunes itself and got latest iTunes today and still no luck.
Anybody knows solution to this ?
(iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.4)

Is it just me, who got this issue ?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

Illustrator CS5 re-install error: Install.app can't be opened.

Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever seen this error when installing Illustrator CS5 on Mac OS X Lion?
"Install.app" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.
Things that might be related;
a) I've recently upgraded the hard disk. I restored everything from a TimeMachine backup
b) I had a few strange things happen with illustrator over the last few months. Yesterday I couldn't place .png graphics into a file, so I uninstalled everything and decided to reinstall from scratch.
c) My downloaded source (illustrator_15_1_LS1.dmg) was kept on a network volume. I assumed the error meant it was corrupted so I downloaded the source again from Adobe. I get the same error on the newly downloaded file.
d) Following a suggestion elsewhere in the forums, I tried Disk Utility > Verify Disk on my new hard disk. It found several permission errors which I let it fix. The problem remains.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this.
Many thanks
Steve

Short answer: OS X 10.7.4 (or maybe before) introduced an incompatibility between Illustrators install file and Mac OS X.
Updating to OS X 10.7.5 solves this.
Through this post on stack overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11171246/why-does-os-x-10-7-4-want-me-to-move-my-app-to -the-trash
it directed me towards Gate Keeper functionality of OS X 10.8 having been enabled in updates in OS X 10.7.4(or earlier, not too sure).
Running `sudo spctl -a Install.app/` gave the result CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED but the solution posted on stackoverflow of disabling gate keeper didn't work. So I set off to find a way of inspecting the certificate. I didn't find instructions to read the certificate but that did lead me to read the apple site about gate keeper and that although it was introduced as a feature in Mountain Lion (os x 10.8) some features were provided for developers in Lion (10.7).
I thought I'd have to buy and install Mountain Lion but found that I hadn't got the latest Lion update. I downloaded that, installed, restarted and now the installer works fine.

I think the suggestion by JimHdk is fair simple. Most Internet services providing email offer a way to access email via a browser like Safari instead of using the Mail app. You start Safari, got to the webmail webpage, enter a user name and password and are provided with a list of waiting emails. You can read emails, reply to emails, delete emails and create new emails on those sites. This is a very common way for people who travel a lot and who encounter your problem, to access their emails.
If you don't know the website for your webmail contact your provider.

I've updated os x 10.7.4 now my sonos app can't access iTunes library

done the 10.7.4 upgrade now Sonos app can't access iTunes library, still gets internet radio, so it must be this update - anyone else seen this or knows how to fix?

Make sure you update OS X to 10.7.5 then retry.

Can't access photos or videos

I can't access photos or videos on my iPad when I am in iMovie. I can access them fine on my iPhone. Thanks!

Can't access photos from prior tobut 1/27/10. Thu ide to desktop. Giant "!" appears.

Can't access photos from prior to 1/27/11. Thumbnails appear, but can't open, email or move them to desktop. Giant "!" appears.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
