IPhone 3GS shooting GREEN photos!!!

How do I fix this? This camera would be great if I were taking photos of green aliens but I am not. How can I remove this green effect? Is there an adjustment that is needed to be completed or is my iPhone 3GS simply messed up? Do I need to return it for a new one? I just got the phone on 11 July and today is the 22nd of July.

If you back-up your iPhone before taking it for replacement all the information will be stored in iTunes. I don't know about BestBuy purchases, but I believe that no matter where purchased you have to either make a reservation at a Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store if there is one within a reasonable distance or contact Apple Care. I purchased mine through the Apple online store, but it was replaced at an Apple store which unfortunately is 1 1/2 hours away. But I felt it necessary as the issue was not normal. They don't ask where it was purchased, the serial number is what the go by, and they don't refund then re-purchase. What you will get is a phone from a smaller white sealed box set aside for replacements. At this point none of these are refurbished. If there is not an Apple store close to you and you choose to call Apple Care, be as descriptive as possible. If they agree to replace, they will most likely overnight it to you. You will then have to send your defective phone back in the same box and they will place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the phone until they receive it. Whichever option you choose, be sure to stay calm with person you are speaking to, joke around, etc...You will get better result!

  • Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

    Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
    When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
    If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
    If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
    Please help.

    They are scaled down.

  • IPhone 3Gs not saving photos.

    I have an iPhone 3Gs, and recently upgraded it to iOS5.  All my photos have disappeared from the phone and the camera no longer saves the photos to the phone.  In addition, the battery life is now very poor.  I've switched off everything I do not use, including iCloud, but even without using the phone the battery is flat within 12 hours.  Ant ideas out there for fixing these problems?  Thanks.

    If the Photos application returns to the main screen when opened, how do you know if photos captured by the iPhone aren't saved in the Camera Roll?
    Any change after powering your iPhone off and on, and/or after a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • My iphone 3gs has green lines on camera screen

    Does anyone know what the problem is with my iphone3gs when using the camera green lines appear on the screen. When I save the pictures the green lines are still present, if I zoom in and out of the picture the lines sometimes go. Any ideas??

    Hi, Theo1997. 
    Here is a resource that may provide some troubleshooting steps to help with this issue.  See the section related to the iPhone display.

  • IPhone 3GS: Cannot copy photos that where copied from a PC.

    I cannot copy pictures from a folder that has pictures transferred from a computer. I've long since lost the pictures from the computer, and they are stuck on my iPhone. Is there any way I can copy them to the PC?

    Try PhotoSync or similar app.  If you're computer has a wireless connection to your network it will wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer (outside of iTunes).  I've transferred pictures not taken on my phone to a computer before so it should work for you.  (see http://www.photosync-app.com/photosync/en/home.html)

  • Photo Library showing up on iPhone 3GS???

    I've read through a few posts regarding deleting images, albums, etc and resyncing.
    But the main issue I've been having is that through iPhoto I have a few albums
    some with video that I'm able to sync over into my iPhone 3Gs but the Photo Library continues to show up and I can't seem to find a way to keep this from not syncing into my photo albums as it seems to show all the images I already have on the iPhone.
    Can someone tell me how not to have the photo library showing up. It never did before.
    I'm syncing through iPhoto, and also did through image capture.
    much appreciate the feedback ~A~

    Gotcha!
    What I ended up doing was syncing through image capture and choosing the folder of which to sync the images from.
    In image capture it doesn't duplicate the named folder, but brings it in as renamed as "photo library".
    What's odd is that it doesn't import the folder as named.
    Only when syncing in iPhoto does it keep the named folder, but also brings along the photo library.
    So there's little means of flexibility when it comes to organizing images with the iPhone software.
    Are there any 3rd party software programs that anyone is using to sort images on their iPhone? Curious

  • Downloading iPhone 3GS photos and Videos to other computers

    I recently got my first iPhone and am still finding out how to do things, so, apologies if this sounds dim but....
    How do I download photos and videos from my iPhone 3GS to other computers?
    I can plug in to my mac and sync everything with iTunes - no problem
    I can plug into a PC and open up the iPhone files and copy across to the PC- no problem
    BUT
    If I plug a mac other than my own it just opens up iTunes. How can I copy a photo onto this mac without syncing the whole thing?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Rob

    When iTunes opens up, just close it down, because you do not want to sync with any computer other than the computer you normally sync with. Then launch iPhoto & you can then import the photos/videos in your camera roll. Photos/videos synced to your phone cannot be imported to any other computer.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my photos from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro? iPhoto doesn't support my iPhone...

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  Why?!

    For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer.  iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups.  It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me".  Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do?  Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • I have an iTunes account with my iPhone 3GS.  Today I upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I plugged the iPhone 4 in to get my music iTunes created a new device.  How do I get the music and photos from the other device?

    I would like to delete the new device and just sync the iPhone 4 with all the info that was on the 3GS. 

    You can get the photos by importing them from your 3GS to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and then syncing them back to your iPhone 4.  Your music should already be in your iTunes library if you have been syncing the 3GS with your computer so all you would need to do is select to Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your iPhone 4 to transfer it to you new phone.  But there is no way for iTunes to see your iPhone 4 as your iPhone 3GS; it will see it as a different device no matter what you do.

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

    I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
    I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
    My last Problem is:
    There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
    I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
    The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
    This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
    First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
    Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
    Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
    Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
    Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
    Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
    Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
    Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
    Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
    Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
    Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
    And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
    Is this a known Bug?
    Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
    Thank you very much for your Help!

    Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing.  I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer.  Apple, fix this now!!!
