IOS 8 Stuck photo in camera thumbnail not in Recently added

Since iOS 8.0, sometimes a photo gets stuck in the thumbnail square at the lower left corner of the camera window. If I touch that photo, I get a message saying that there are no photos or videos. The photo does not get into the Recently Added album.
If I take more pictures, they are shown in the square. But if I delete them all until the Recently Added album is empty, the original stuck photo appears again in the square. This thumbnail should be a gray square when the Recently Added album is empty.
The only way that I've found to fix it is to browse the phone with iExplorer, delete the folder PhotoData and DCIM and resync with iTunes.
But the problem may arise again at any time. It seems that it appears when taking several photos in a row, mainly without flash.
It didn't happen under any iteration of iOS 7, but it's been there under 8.0 and 8.0.2.

I Had this problem as well and the photo it was displaying was an inappropriate one I wouldn't want anyone to see so it was a big deal for me to fix this. I didn't have this photo in my camera roll or in any of my folders but I DID find it in my collections screen under the Photo app. Once I deleted it from collections it disappeared and displayed the most recent photo that is in my camera roll. If you want to keep you picture share it someone private and delete the old copy and save the new one and see if it lets you keep the photo without having the thumbnail issue.
hope this works for you.

  • Photo Event/Album Thumbnail not Synched with iPhoto

    Hi and tnxs for reading.
    Is there a way to sync my iPhoto Album/Event Thumbnails with my iOS devices? I am noticing that on them, only the first photos are used as thumbnails.
    Tnxs, cheers

    1) why is this not an automatic feature? I mean, do I have to manually trash that folder every time I do modifications and need to sync them or is it supposed to autoupdate automatically sometimes?
    You shouldn't have to. This should update automaically.
    I see that my thumbnails are not synched aswell. In iPhoto Events/Albums I can select a thumbnail. However, on my iOS devices photo library, the thumbnail is the first photo of the Event/Album. Any chance to syncautomatically the same thumbnail I have in iPhoto
    I have no idea. I'd ask that on a forum for your Phone/Pad/Pod...

  • Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

    I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
    I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

    One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
    @ rotorcraft:
    It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
    You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

  • HT4623 After the iOS 7 update my camera does not operate correctly.  It will take about 5 photos then it becomes very sensitive, moving between "video & square".  I turn  it off & back on, it work for a second or two & lockout again.

    After updating my iPad my camera does not operate correctly. It will take about 5 photos then lockup. It also becomes very sensitive when I try to zoom in, it changes to "video or square".  I have to turn off for awhile then it repeats the same  malfunction, just lockup again.

  • IOS: Using photos from camera and gallery

    Hi guys,
    has anybody experiences using photos (gallery, camera) on iOS device with Lingo?
    I wanna load a picture from gallery into my application or start camera, take a picture and load this.
    There is an solution by using clipboard but isn't user-friendly.
    Same with saving picture into the gallery?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi Schnell,
    I have no direct answer to your questions, regarding lingo commands to access the iOS camera or gallery…
    But you could try playing around with Director's 'flash xtra'
    Try building a simple Flash ActionScript file, which uses the ‘CameraRoll class’ to import a photo (Camera, CameraRoll & CameraUI class)
    You never know - might get lucky
    If you can get anything working, please let us all know.
    (on the other hand, it could all be a big waste of time??)
    good luck.

  • Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

    when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

    It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
    But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

    Re: no longer asks if I want to delete photos on camera. I cannot move photos to trash. how do I delete them?

  • Photo stream, camera roll not syncing

    Pictures I'm taking in my camera roll aren't showing in the photo stream on my phone in a very timely manner.  I have iCloud set up properly in both my MBP and iPhone, and I'd like to get a photo to my Photo Stream so I can use it on my MBP. 

    Hello Meridarida,
    The following troubleshooting steps can help get your Photo Stream working.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream on a device using iOS 6) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

  • Photo in camera roll not synced to iCloud

    I was out in London the other day and used my phone to take some photos, at one point my phone went below 20% battery therefore any photos taken would not have synced to "my photo stream" until phone is placed on charge again then these would re-sync. However I've just noticed that I have one photo less in "my photo stream" and this is a photo taken when iPhone was below 20% battery.
    Why has this photo not synced to iCloud? This should have synced once phone was on charge? Why can't I add it manually to "my photo stream".
    P.s. I don't want to add it to a "shared photo stream" and I don't want to edit it the photo and save as a new copy and then the new copy is synced to "my photo stream" the photo was taken on a date and it should have synced.
    Can someone please shed some light why this disruption has occurred...?
    iCloud isn't perfect but it is great for automated syncing, Apple can definately improve on, I think the 1000 photos v 30 day limitation should be increased.
    This sync issue has happened to me before but I need to know why this is happening and if it can be fixed. I don't understand why I can't just add it manually to "my photo stream" and it automatically uploads to the correct place so my camera roll is exactly the same "my photo stream" except videos of course until iOS7, thumbs up Apple improve upon this.

    That hasn't answered why this problem has occurred and if you read my original question I said I don't want to edit the photo and create a NEW COPY! Yes of course that work but why didn't it upload in the first place!
    PLEASE READ THE QUESTION BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT!

  • Photos app/Camera/Screenshot not working

    Hello everyone,
    so the other day i installed iOS on my 32 Gb iPad 2, and in the middle of the update, it crashed, forcing me to go into recovery mode and restore the ipad from iTunes. Afterwards, had to restore my latest iCloud backup.
    Anyway, I really dont know if that couldve messed this; when trying to use the camera, in the bottom left in Camera Roll (inside Camera app) shows the image preview of the recently taken photo, but when clicking on it, it shows no photos.
    That was really weird, so i went on and tried to screenshot my iPad with no success; when opening Photos, it said "take a photo to show it here.." (or something among the lines). Video doesnt work either.
    I checked my available space and ive got 17.6 GB free, so that shouldnt be the problem. Oh! And also, when going into Settings>General>About says ive got 233 photos?! But i cant seem to see them!!
    WHen trying to use other camera apps, it works fine by the way.
    Any ideas on getting iOS camera and photos running?
    P.S. Got iCloud photo Stream on and Shared photo stream on.

    Do you have a backup? If so, try this for Calendar.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library/Calendars and restore from the backup.

  • IOS 8.0.2 camera app not working but FaceTime camera does?

    Went today and had a new screen installed on my 5c and I initially thought that the camera hardware had been mis-installed, bexause opening the camera app yielded a fuzzy image and then a freeze. I tried installing other camera apps and the image doesnt work there. I tried FaceTime and lo and behold, the camera works for FaceTime only. Help?
    Also, there are no restrictions set for my phone.
    Thanks!

    Why would it be Ebay's fault when it was working perfectly before? It's only since I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 this has happened, so explain why Ebay is at fault?
    There are more than a million 3rd parties apps, do you think Apple should wait until all the apps are updated before they release the IOS?
    Apps developers should alway test if their apps can run on the latest platform not the other way round.
    That's why you have this compatibility info.

  • Photos from camera will not import like before after upgrading to iphoto '11

    I connected my camera just as I have always done in the past.  It shows the outline of how many pics and videos I have on the memory card, but no images.  When I click "Import All", it says it is unable because some images had trouble downloading???  This has always worked in the past...it seems it has just occurred since upgrading to iphoto '11.

    Lots of folks with Kodaks are reporting issues. Some have reported success after reformatting the card with the camera. Others when using a Card Reader.

  • Photos taken on iPhone not always being added to PhotoStream folder on iPhone

    All summer, every photo I took on my iPhone 4s was duplicated in the PhotoStream on my phone and copied to my PC (Windows 7).  After all of our trips, I removed a lot of photos from my phone - both from the Camera Roll and from the PhotoStream.  Now, a few of the photos I take are duplicated into the PhotoStream -but most are not.  Earlier this week, I took 4 photos.  The last 2 replicated.  the first 2 did not.  Yesterday, one I took at lunch time (away from home) was duplicated and the ones I took at home after dinner were not.  None of the ones I took today have replicated.    I have reinstalled my iCloud software (even though I didn't see how that could be the problem), and I have turned off the PhotoStream on my phone and turned it back on several times.  Still nothing is duplicated into the PhotoStream, so of course, none of the photos are being replicated to my PC.
    Ann suggestions?

    I generally press the button at the bottom of the phone to return to the home screen so that I can go to my Photos  app and look at my albums.  Surely that closes the camera app.  In the Photos app in the Albums view, I can see the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream - but photos that I just took show in the Camera Roll and not in My Photo Stream. 
    Thanks, for the help, but it seems that I have already done all 4 of the steps suggested in the Troubleshooter.  (te((I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.)

  • HT1414 Is there any way to restore i-Phone contacts and photos from an earlier (not most recent) backup?

    When I updated my i-Phone's version, I lost all my contacts and photos.  Although I had a back-up of them, the backup disappeared when another backup was done automatically when the phone synced automatically at a later date.  Is there any way to access an earlier backup, even if it is not showing under Devices in iTunes or in the Backup folder in the appropriate Apple folder under the computer's Documents and Settings?

    i have the same problem how do i fix it please
    Please start your own thread rather than by replying to a threadjacker in a post that's been dormant for over six months, especially as you couldn't have been updating to any version of iOS 5. Use a properly descriptive subject line, explain the problem you're having, what error messages you've gotten and what steps you've taken to so far to troubleshoot.
    Best of luck.

  • Import new photos into iphoto, browser not seeing recent "last import"

    I use several web based applications that ask to upload photos. I go into browse and iphoto and for some reason it won't pull the last imported photos - it is as if the browser is caching the old events and last import. When I exit FireFox and iPhoto and restart my machine it will see them. I must be missing a plug in or something - any ideas?????

  • Apple Remote App not reflecting recently added genres

    During the initial round of cataloging movies, etc. and adding some custom genres, they were immediately reflected on the Apple Remote App.  However, subsequent additional genres are not showing up.  If I use the trackpad interface of the Ipad to navigate the Apple TV menus, the new genres are there...they just aren't on reflected on the remote app.
    Any ideas?

    You are not alone. I tried all the fixes, multiple times, but nothing worked.
    I think there's nothing to do but wait. The fact that many of us are experiencing the same problem with the iPad Remote app, and the fact that the iPhone Remote app still works fine, tells me it's a glitch in the software - maybe Apple TV 5.2, maybe iOS 6.1 (I updated to both yesterday).
    Meanwhile, since Apple does not read these forums, I suggest we all leave comments on their feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    That way they'll at least know a bunch of us are having this issue.
    Hopefully Apple will issue a fix soon.
