IOS 8.2: New photos don't appear in camera roll

Hello,
I am using the latest iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. Very often new photos don't appear in the camera roll. As if they were never taken!
Funniest thing is: in the camera app I can see the last picture in the bottom left but when I click it the camera roll shows me the photo taken before that (so it doesn't show me the one which is shown as a small preview in the camera live view).
Any way to clean up this mess? I tried resetting the phone and restoring an iTunes backup w/o success. Thanks!!!
Cheers Argentinos

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.

The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • Synced Photos don't appear on my 2G iPod touch

    Hi,
    Here is my problem. I own since 3 years an iPod touch 2G which I use a lot. I use to sync 4-5 recent photo albums from my iPhoto Library on it but since few days, photos don't appear on the Photos App in the iPod neither the bottom bar to navigate between events and others sortings.
    Everythings seems to works fine when I sync it. The problem appears on the synced iPod. Only saved images remain.
    That's sure a big loss in my use of the device. I use to show people recent pictures that I carry on my iPod touch often.
    Regards,
    Dragonrouge

    Are they configured to still sync to your iPod Touch from under the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes?  See this article for more information and assistance.

    I don't see my camera roll in my photos app. I can see all my pictures in the collections, but there is a lot of white space and I'm not yet used to finding pictures that way if I don't know when/where I took them. I want my camera roll back. Is there a way to do this?

  • In my iphone,in the photo album it only shows camera rolls, how to create new album in photo album?, in my iphone,in the photo album it only shows camera rolls, how to create new album in photo album?

    in my photo album, it only shows camera rolls,i would like ti create new photo album. It does not show photo library below the camera rolls.

    Hi
    It's just simple as creating an event/album in the iPhoto, with the photos you would like to have in your iPhone.
    Then, on iTunes you chose to synchronise with the iPhone that specific photo event/albun, instead of all the library.
    And that's it!
    Hope this helps you

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • Since iOS 7.0.4 I can't access my camera roll in Instagram

    Since iOS 7.0.4 I can't access my camera roll in Instagram, anyone else have this problem? I have done the whole settings-privacy-photos-Instagram-on but that didn't solve the problem.

    I was having the same problem.  Found this solution in the Instagram Help Center, and it worked for me.
    Users who upgrade to iOS 6 and choose to restrict access to the Camera Roll will receive the following message when attempting to import a photo into Instagram: "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy settings."
    To adjust your privacy settings, follow these steps:
    Exit Instagram
    Open the "Settings" app
    Select "Privacy"
    Select "Photos"
    Toggle the ON/OFF switch next to Instagram to the "On" position
    I hope it works for you!

  • How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

    I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account.  Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos.  Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads.  I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using.  It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken? 

    You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC?  I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC.  What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
    To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
    Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.)  Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
    In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them.  Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have two albums in my photos app other than the camera roll that i cant seem to get rid of. They contain duplicates of the photos i already have in my camera roll and its using alot of space.how do i delete them?

    Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have two albums in my photos app other than the camera roll that i cant seem to get rid of. They contain duplicates of the photos i already have in my camera roll. One is called Photo Library, and the other is called iphone. It's using alot of space and I don't know how to delete them. Please HELP!!

    those are photos that have been synced to your phone from your computer. plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, select 'photos' tab from the top, and uncheck 'sync photos'
    this will erase the photos from your phone that are not in the camera roll

  • Selected 'wallpaper' appears in Camera Roll

    I have selected a particular image as my 'wallpaper' from the ones provided in my iPhone 3G. After syncing with my computer, that image appears in Camera Roll on my 'phone. How? Why?
    Shoukd it be doing that? It means that there is a danger that if I sync photos, the wallpaper image will be synced to iPhoto, and the next time back to the iPhone. Before I realized what was happening, I ended up with 5 copies of the wallpaper image in the Albums on the 'phone.
    I should be grateful to be told (a) why this is happening, and (b) how to stop it (other than by deleting the image from the 'phone before each sync operation).

    I have made a discovery concerning this bizarre phenomenon. It has nothing to do with syncing.
    I keep my 'phone in a soft, felt-like Apple pouch. If I withdraw it only just enough to allow me to switch on the 'phone by means of the on-off button at the top (not the Home button at the bottom), the 'phone sometimes photographs its own startup screen — wallpaper, time, date and all. I have not been able to discover why it does this sometimes but not always, nor why it does it at all, though it may have something to do with the pressure exerted by the thumb of my left hand (holding the 'phone in its pouch) as I press the on-off button with my right hand. So the syncing mystery has dissolved, only to be replaced by another.
    I now know how to prevent my album from filling up with unwanted replicas of the startup screen, but I should still be interested to learn what the reason for this strange behaviour is.

  • HT1688 How can I stop photos from downloading from my camera roll into photo folders on my Iphone 4S. They have been downloading on the phone for 2 days.

    I took some photos from my camera roll and added them into seperate folders on my Iphone 4S and only some of the photos have downloaded and the rest of the pictures in all of the folders have been downloading for the past 2 days. Even when connected to WiFi it does not stop downloading the pictures into the seperate folders. How can I finish the downloading of the pictures or how can I stop the downloading and try adding them to the folders again?

    Photos were deleted from my camera roll and I hadn't backed them up anywhere. Is there any way of getting them back??

    If they were on the iphone at last sync, then you may be able to restore from backup and get them back.
    Otherwise, they are gone.
