I cannot access Photos through the album app.

My Photo Album cannot be accessed through the album as it is hidden up behind the title.....I can slide it down to see it, but it won't let me view it. I have to go through my camera and view them that way. Can anyone help????

I had the exact same problem. Here is how I was able to fix it:
Double click the home button on your iPhone
Scroll over along the icons on the bottom of your screen until you see the Photos icon button
Press and hold the Photos icon until all icons along the bottom begin to wiggle
Click the red circle atop the left side of the icon and hte Photos icon will disappear
Hit the home button again
Click the normal photos icon and you should be able to access your photos just fine
Hope this helps!

Why would there be a fix? YOU are having the problem. I'm not, no one I know is having the problem. No fix is needed.
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet?

fdbiker,
Depending on what your warranty period still looks like I would suggest service.

Cannot access photos on the phone - iPhone 3G 16GB

Hi there
I am no longer able to access the photos on my phone - even though I have a suspicion they still exist. Background info as follows:
I was transferring photos from my iPhone 3G recently to my WinXP PC at work, I had about 200-odd photos (quite a few of which I wanted to keep), and the phone rebooted part-way through and stopped transferring. I got about 15 of my 200 photos. From memory, the Windows transfer wizard also froze. I read up on a few threads in this forum about the phone rebooting, but they didnt seem to help (unless i didnt find the right thread).
The problem I have is this:
I can no longer access the photos on the phone. If I go into the Photos from the home screen, I get "No photos. You can take photos using the camera or load photos onto your iPhone using iTunes" - much like there are no photos.
However, i'm suspicious they still exist, because occasionally i'll come across something in my phone that still displays one. Contacts - sure, because they're in the contact file. But surely things like my background/wallpaper arent, and that still currently shows a photo that was in my photo album.
In addition, the iPhone no longer appears as a camera device on my work computer, or my home computer, so something is obviously wrong. It just doesnt pop up. It does however show in iTunes, so the connection is fine.
I'm also looking forward to upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0 on public release, but should I hold off? Is this likely to extinguish any remaining existence of my photos when it updates?
I saw suggestions (via Google) of the photos being in a differently numbered folder - 999APPLE or similar that i'd be able to access via SFTP, SSH, etc. but these all seemed to apply to Jailbroken phones, which mine isn't, and I don't intend it to be.
Please help! I may have a few family members wanting to kill me if some of those photos are gone! All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions,
If you did not backup or sync your phone afterwards or have an old backup of your phone, your pictures are probably gone. And only photos taken with the phone would be part of the backup, in reduced quality, as all photos are optimized for viewing on the phone.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
On a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
On Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
On Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Apps cannot access photos

iPad Air 1, 128gb memory, newest IOS as of April 11, 2015
Many of my apps cannot access my photo library when I want to import them through the app menu. I have reset photos through the settings app. I have checked through the restrictions section as well. I have closed everything open, restarted my iPad, and opened only the app I am trying to access the photo library with, zero results.
Although, I must add that the Apple Pages app works fine, as do other Apple apps.
Example of the situation... I open ArtStudio and go to file/import from photos... it opens the photos selection menu briefly for approx 2 seconds and then closes the screen and reverts back to the apps folder. ArtStudio remains open, and I can double click the home button to access it, but it will not allow me to access my photos app/folders. I have found this to be the same problem on a number of apps I purchased. Any suggestions would be very very welcome.

Hello DrSchubert,
If you are experiencing issues with apps having access to your photos, I would try resetting the settings on your iPhone. It will not delete any content, but put all settings, like wallpaper, ringtone and the permissions for apps to access content that is on your iPhone. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings. For more information take a look at the link below.

Cannot access photos in photo stream folder

PS Touch on my iPad iOS 8.2 cannot access photos in the photo stream folder. They appear as blank boxes. Why? The photo stream folder contains photos that are shared across devices. The photo stream folder appears in the app but when opened blank boxes appear where the photos should be. After doing a search, I see this has been an ongoing problem for other users & uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the issue. The workaround is to copy the photos into Camera Roll then import them from there. Does Adobe plan to address this issue in a future update?

Hey there earnest007!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iCloud shared photo streams:

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.

backpack12,
Voicemails are a vital part of having a working phone. We do suggest that you look at the contact and then the number to make sure that it is *86. If you are needing to get your voicemails until then, please dial *86.

Ugh tI have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder. what do I do?

I have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder. what do I do?

I have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder.
Gray thumbnils:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails. It may take three or four goes to work.
Finding the Photos through the Finder.
It's not supported. Accessing the files via the Finder can lead to a corrupted Library.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: 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.
(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:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
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 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.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I have the app "viPlay" on my iPad and iPhone. Is there any way that it could be available for the Apple TV? I'd like to access my personal videos from my hard drive using the Apple TV through the 'viPlay' app.

Hi LoboCatholic,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are desscribing. I am not certain that this will address your specific issue, but if you are having photo organization issues in iOS 8 on your new iPhone 6, you may find the following article helpful:

My iPod touch 3rd gen. 32gb doesn't allow me to access my "Saved Photos" because the "Albums" banner covers it. This occurred with last week's update.

My iPod 3rd gen 32gb won't allow me to see my "Saved Photos" because the "Albums" banner covers it. This occurred with last week's update.

I've read that the only cure is opening the Multitaskbar by double clicking the home button, search for the photo app, tap on it until it starts to shake and hit the little "Minus-icon" in the left corner. Then close the bar again and try again to open the photo app.

What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
-iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

Hi,
I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library

Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library. The only way to trash photos is to go to the library/photos and trash from there which is a bit annoying!

If you click the arrow in the right lower corner of the photo in the album, you should see the Trash can. Is it not there?
Or use the key combination option-command-delete ⌥⌘⌫ .
