IPhone 4 Photo Library Rebuilding Error

Hi there,
I recently ran into a problem with my photos/videos on my phone(not jailbroken)--my photo library and camera have become completely inaccessable.
When I tried to send an MMS, the photo library said that it had to rebuild. It began to rebuild and crashed. It has done this before, but I have always been able to fix it either by just opening the library again or turning off/on my phone. That was not the case this time. I tried opening my camera to take a photo because that had helped in past situations, but it did the same as the library--began rebuilding then crashed and back to the home screen. BUT before the camera closed, I was able to see the thumbnail in the lower left corner of the last photo taken. This has to mean the photos are still there, right?
I have reset it multiple times and am hoping I will not have to do a complete factory restore.
After hours of trying to fix it on my own, I am near the point of giving up hope.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer.  Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer.  The iphone is not a storage device.
The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

  • On my iphone in photo library i have no photos but in storage it says i have 663

    on my iphone in photo library i have no photos but in storage it says i have 600

    Hi Bpaitin,
    Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
    If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
    Cheers,

  • Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

    How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?  I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
    Thanks!

  • Iphone 5 photo library

    iPhone 5, Photo Library is taking up 2,8 GB space with only 500 odd photos.
    I don't have any photos synced using iTunes from my computer.
    I have not turned on the 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)'
    I have not turned on the 'my photo stream' option either
    I don't know what is taking up this much space.

    Hey, basically, you have 2 options:
    1. Import photos from your iPhone to your computer (Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support) and delete them from your iPhone.
    2. Try SafeEraser's 'Photo Compressor' option. It enables you to backup your photos to your computer and compress the large ones on your iPhone to small size. After doing this, photos will be kept on your iPhone and occupy less space.

  • Photo library rebuild in iOS4

    My photo library suddenly started a rebuild on my 3GS after i upgraded to iOS4. At first, it looked like all the photos had disappeared. When the rebuild finished, the last few weeks of photos were gone. Any ideas on how to recover? I hadn't synced them yet with iPhoto.

    This happened on my device (iPhone 3GS w/ iOS 4.0.2).
    I saved couple of photos to my library using the Mail app's Save All feature. After that, my camera role disappeared. It re-built upon restarting the image viewer, and I lost all the photos I took since I upgraded to iOS4.

  • Iphone 6, photo library "downloading"

    I purchased my iPhone 6 about a month ago, it was already backed up through Icloud and on my old iPhone 5s. Since purchasing it and updating, and restoring my camera roll has been saying downloading, when I connect it to iTunes it says that I have 900 photos and videos on it, when in reality its only 500 which are some that were transferred over and the others that I've uploaded since then!! Has anyone else experienced this issues, I currently have sprint and they said that it wasn't an issue on their part, so I've tried contacting Apple and nothing!!

    Just migrate from iPhone 5 32GB to iPhone 6 64GB (using iTunes backup and restore). Migrated my 19.6GB of photo library to my new iPhone 6 as well.
    However, browsing through my photos on the new iPhone 6 has very slow-responsiveness, and sometime just freezes. Have not encountered such issue on my old iPhone 5. Tried reset the iPhone 6, restore iOS 8.0.2 using iTunes, but without much helps.
    Just wondering if anyone having similar issue, and with any tips and tricks to resolve this?
    Thanks!

  • Help Deleting Iphone 5C Photo Library

    Hi all,
    I have an iPhone 5C and I just noticed today that nearly all of my data is taken up. When I check in settings>General>Usage, It says that I have used 5.7 GB on Photos and Camera. I deleted all of my camera roll pictures and videos and it still says this. I went to iTunes, went to my phone's tab, went to the photos tab, and I had not synced any photos from anywhere. However, it still says that I have 1150 photos from "Photo Library" that I can not seem to delete. Please help me get rid of these photos so I can regain storage on my phone.
    Thanks,
    P

    I went to the Apple Store today and fixed the problem.  Apparently it is false memory that is from some glitch while syncing.  Backup your iPhone on your iCloud account, reset your phone to factory settings, then restore your settings from iCloud.

  • IOS iphone, updating photo library is very slow

    both on my iphone 4s and ipad 2.
    takes more than 5mins on every time updating. Thus, I need to wait a very long time on every time opening iphoto on my iOS devices.
    any way to solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    The fewer photos you have on your iPad the less time it takes to update the photo library. Probably not the answer you want to hear but that's the way it is for iPhoto for iOS right now.

  • IPhone Delete Photo Library Album

    Since my upgrade to iOS 5, there has been a new album in the photos app called Photo Library. This album is an exact copy of an album called "iPhone" that I created in iPhoto on my Mac. Any photos on my Mac that I want on the iPhone, I simply drag to the "iPhone" album and then sync with iTunes. If I turn sync photos OFF in iTunes, I get the warning that all synced photos will be lost on the iPhone, which I accept. After the sync, both the iPhone album AND the Photo Library album are gone from my iPhone. I then turn sync photos ON and sync. BOTH albums come back. I've copied the iPhone album to a new album, deleted iPhone album, re sync and both the new album AND the Photo Library album are back on the iPhone. If I add a photo to the new album on my iMac, then sync with iTunes, the new photo is added to both the new album AND the Photo Library Album. Should I export all my photos then create a new iPhoto library, import the photos back in?

    "On the iPhone, every time I take a new photo, the new photo is added to the camera roll, not the Photo Library album."
    That is correct.  Camera Roll is where ALL pics taken with iphone are stored.  You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would with any other digital camera.  You can then organize on your computer and sync them to your iphone, where they will be in photo library.
    "The Photo Library album on the iPhone contains 17 photos which are the exact same as the new album (Rich) on my iPhone. During the sync process in iTunes, I check only the album Rich to sync."
    Absokutely correct.
    Again. All SYNCED ( from your computer) photos will be in photo library.  If you were to sync 10 albums with 10 pics each, then there would be 100 photos in Photo Library.

    Don't recall whether or not it was different in iOS 4.  This video will explain what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=60MevRF53ck#!, at least in iOS 5.
