IOS4 issue on 3GS-can't access pictures or use camera!

I updated my 3GS with the iOS 4 software as soon as it was available. I did all the things Apple adviced me to do prior to the update- such as transfer bought items and backup my iphone.
After updating the 3GS with iOS 4 everything seemed to be going well, except for 2 things.....I can't start the camera and I can't reach my pictures.......when I click on either- the iphone starts connecting to the picture library, but after 4-5 secs the program shuts down and I'm back in home-mode!
I've tried to restore from factory settings but the same thing remains (and restore with previous saved security backup)...can't access pictures or use the camera.
Although if I restore and set up as "new iphone" instead of backing up previous settings and media everything works! Camera works and I can enter picture area (although off course it is empty.....being a new iphone)
So there seems to have been a problem with the backup prior to the iOS4 update.....
Funny thing is that when I have the iphone connected to the pc and I look at iTunes....there is 1.65 GB of pictures on my iphone...although I just can't see it.....
Also in the previous iTunes there used to be a tab for "pictures" just like "movies" "Music" "tv-shows" etc etc......no the "picture" tab is missing.........?!?!
My wife also has a 3GS and I did the software update on hers.....and there everything works just fine!!
I have so far come to the conclusion that I could restore to factory settings and start fresh with the option "set up as new iphone", but then I would loose all contacts.....all programs and email settings........which is a pain in the butt.........
I'd appreciate if someone could help me because the help desk in Norway (Apple resellers) don't have a clew.....
Anyone?!?
Thanks in advance

Someone gave me help in my own thread. They used a Mac program and deleted files, but Im on Windows 7.
I used iBackupBot 3.0.7
Just load it up (I had my phone connected). The select a backup and then select 'Browse and export media' button then on the pop up window is a complete list of all my missing media. There is an export button in the top corner.
I have all my photos and videos back now YAY!
Thanks all!

  • Just upgraded from snow leopard to maverick.  Can't access pictures from iPhoto now.

    Suggestions?

    No suggestions until you explain what "can't access pictures from iPhoto now"... means, or even looks like.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset

    My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset. It was working fine until I went to activate it and update the PRL. It turns on, but Freezes on the LG Logo. it currently goes into the LG Download Mode, and When I restore with LG's Mobile Support Tool, It finishes, reboots, and stays at the boot Logo. I was wondering if I can possibly get a replacement phone? This is a little upsetting, as i was hoping to have it transfered from prepaid to postpaid service next month

  • I can't access my photos in camera roll.

    I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

    I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
    I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

  • Can we access popularity trends using client side script?

    Hi, 
     I have a requirement to show the hit count for my image library's item(s). When ever I am opening an image from the image library, I just wanted to show the hit counts. For this I have created a Number column and updating this column by using CSOM
    when ever hit happens to that particular item. 
    The problem arises here, for visitors ( who has read only permission to the site) I am not able to update the column due to permission issue. Since we all know that we can't elevate the privilege from client side script. And also our design says that we
    can't give the contribute permission to all the users at the library level. How can we update the count at item level even when the visitors are opening an item from the image library? 
    Please help me... 
    Thanks in advance

  • If I copy a CD (either music or audio) on my Windows based Pc can I access the copy using itunes?

    If i copy a Cd (either music or audio) on my Windows based PC can I access the copy using itunes.  I have a ipod Nano, 7th generation.

    You should use iTunes to "rip" (encode) the songs directly into your iTunes library from the CDs.  This article provides a good description of how that is done using iTunes.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
    If you use some other program to encode the content on those CDs, you can add any audio files that are in a format that iTunes can play (such as MP3 and AAC) to your iTunes library.  "Windows Media" files are not playable by iTunes, but the Windows version of iTunes can convert them while importing (as long as the files do not use DRM).

  • I can't download pictures from my camera ( Canon EOS 1100D).

    Hi
    I can't download pictures from my camera ( CANON EOS 1100D) on my Macbook Pro.
    I can download pictures on other computers so it's not a cable problem.  I can connect memory sticks to the Mac, so it is not a USB port problem.
    I did install the software provided by Canon (after I tried to download pictures and noticed it does not work). Why doesn't my macbook pro recognise my camera ? Thanks. Leacoulet

    The prompt won't appear if the photos were originally synced from a computer, if they were taken with the iPhone then there are instructions on this page for how to disable/enable the prompt (the page is specifally about disabling the prompt, but it's the same process to enable it).

  • HT5312 I can not access purchase anything using my Apple ID because I forget my security question to verify that it's me and forgot my password to my rescue email up change my security question. What do I do?

    I can not access purchase anything using my Apple ID because I forget my security question to verify that it's me and forgot my password to my rescue email up change my security question. What do I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

    How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

    Hello jcamengual,
    I was having the same problem you're having - for those that don't understand... I synced photos on to my ipad which placed them inside "photos" not cameral roll. I then sold me laptop as I thought I had no need for it. When I bought my new iMac I tried to use my external hard drive which had my back up on, however my hard drive no longer works. Thus unable to retreive my photos on to my iMac!
    Anyway... long of the short of it is theres no easy way. But there are a few ways. I'm currently using icloud's photo stream. As long as you have photo stream set up on your mac you can create a shared stream on the ipad with a friend. This shared stream will appear on your mac, you can then "import photos" straight from the shared stream.
    Alternativley you could use something like drop box. Sync your pictures from iPad to drop box. Then download from drop box to Mac. As I said, no easy way that I have found but this does work. It just takes a long time.
    Key Facts:
    You can have 5000 photos inside a sharred stream
    You can have 100 sharred streams
    Therefore you can stream 500,000 photos - I hope you don't have that many.
    All explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Can't access pictures.

    Hey guys, I'm trying to access and view pictures in iPhoto. When I click the picture to see it in a larger size, I get a black screen with a "!". I can see the picture in the smaller size, I just dont understand what the problem is. Any help is muc appreciated.

    The exclamation mark appears when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original/master image file in the library. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't access some websites using time capsule

    Everything has been working just fine with my time capsule and my imac and just today I couldn't access some websites for some reason. I tried many other sites including this one and can get to them no problem. I have been through all of the airport settings and trouble shooting and can't find any problems, also the other 2 computers and my blackberry can't access some of the same sites either, I am stumped. Does anyone out there have any idea whats going on? Thanks for your help!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Suggest that you contact your ISP. It sounds like their DNS server is overloaded at the moment, but also unlikely that they will ever admit it.
    It wouldn't hurt to power cycle your complete network as well. Just power everything down, order is not important.
    Start the modem first and let it run a few minutes by itself.
    Then start the next device connected to the modem, probably your Time Capsule, and let it run a few minutes.
    Then start your computers and devices one by one the same way.

    Anyone can help ?
    Thanks a lot
