IPhone 5 two bugs in photo app.

Sorry, don't know where to submit bug reports... hope this place is okay.
Bug #1 - photos are not properly fit to screen. To see this, take a screenshot of the home screen, or, say, of your favorite video game on the iPhone 5. Now, look at that photo in the photo app, and double-tap it as needed to "fit" that photo to the screen. You'll notice black space at the bottom of the photo, and the top part of the photo is off-screen. So, if you took a screenshot of the home screen, the "menu bar" (or whatever it's called) will be off-screen.
Bug #2 - the "cancel" button that comes up in the delete menu doesn't work. Try to delete a photo, then hit the cancel button. You'll see the button is only barely functional - only the top sliver of the cancel button seems to accept input.

#1 was in reference to screenshots, not camera photos. Screenshots should obviously be the same aspect ratio as the screen. In any event, fitting a photo to screen (even if it has a different aspect ratio) should not cause part of the photo to go off-screen. I'm not talking about "letterboxing" here... the black space in question is ONLY on the bottom of the photo, not the top - the top part instead goes off-screen. That is definitely a bug, and I have verfied that I don't get that bug in on my old iPhone4 (updated to iOS6.) I don't have a 4S so I can't test it on that.
I have also verfied that bug #2 does not happen on my iPhone4.

HT1386 Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone no longer appears near the top of my iTunes Window. The Summary lists items that I can sync with my iPhone such as "Music, Photos, Apps" etc.

Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window. "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items. An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window. Has anyone had the same issue?

IPhone Sync with Yosemites Photos App

Hi there,
I know, it's still Beta, but I am wondering, if I get it wrong somehow... Will it still be possible to sync Photos from Photos App in OSX Yosemite to iPhone via iTunes and without iCloud Photo Library?
Yesterday I installed the new Beta Release of Yosemite with the Photos Apps, which is quite amazing. Until I tried to sync Photos to iPhone. There is no way to do so. I still can choose to import Photos to iPhone from iPhoto or Aperture or via File, but no Photos App available.
I definitely don't want to use iCloud Photo Library. Will I be forced to?

10.10.3 is out now. You can sync photos to the iPhone with iTunes. You don't have to store your photos in iCloud Photo Library.

IPhone: Why so many photo apps?

I'm confused by Apple's logic for organising photos on the iPhone. I use an iPhone, a mac and MobileMe. What I would intuitively like to do is to capture photos on the iPhone 4 camera and have these sync to an album on MobileMe, then later iPhoto could pull down the photos from MobileMe. At the moment if I take a photo it goes in the camera roll. I can then send to MobileMe, but there is no subsequent indication of which photos in the camera roll have been uploaded. So I need to go to the gallery app and check. Then when I sync with the mac the photos get backed up to iTunes, but I have to open iPhoto in order to sync to that program. Then I need to sync iPhoto to MobileMe to get the files there. There is also no easy way to get all my photos onto MobileMe from iPhoto.
Why can't Apple just have the camera app and inside that arrange photos by date, with an indicator showing if the file has been saved to MobileMe, Flick or Facebook? Having a camera, photo and gallery app seems unnecessary, even for people who don't use MobileMe.
Am I missing something? Is there a better approach?

Thanks for the reminder, I've posted the feedback. I take it you agree with me and have no better solution? It's one of my pet peeves along with Apple's confusing variations for MobileMe/Apple ID logins: Some services want just the username and others want the whole email.

IPhone 4s (IOS 5) photo app editing Reduces the file size drastically.

Anyone else notice that after you take a photo the file size is about 3.7 MB or so, but if you edit it with the new editing features of IOS 5 the file size is reduced to under 1 MB. It really does not matter what you do, when you save it (and it distroys the original by the way) the file size is reduced (and thus the quality) to as low as 296 KB. This is ridiculas. Be very careful or you'll end up with a bunch of useless photos.
Anyone else experience this? Try it and email the result, that should show you the size (you do not get a choice of sizes anymore). I'll sick with the 3rd party apps until (if) Apple changes this.
Let me know what you think??

The upgrade to IOS 5.0.1 offered no fixes to this issue. Can't understand why 4 caused no issues with the camera and the update to 5 took it down. Anyone else find a fix for this?

Minor bug in photo app since 5.1

as said just a minor issue ... not sure if that's wanted in 5.1 : okay in 5.0/5.0.1 adding photos to an existing album showed, while being processed (so very shortly) the number of photos just added on the corresponding album entry in the list. This doesn't happen anymore. The entry, while photos are being added shows the old count (the new count will still appear correctly once you're back in album list view).
ps: on a side note here, it seems that now you can sucessively add (so just label in fact) a same photo to multiple albums - not sure but I don't think this was possible in 5.0.1

RMISocketFactory socketFactory = RMISocketFactory.getDefaultSocketFactory();
socketFactory.createServerSocket(rmiObjectsPort);Remove the above code. It is unnecessary and evidently harmful. RMI socket factories are for use by RMI, not application code.// Export jOTDBconnection
jOTDBconnAdaptee = new jOTDBconnection(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
jOTDBconnAdapter = new jOTDBadapter(jOTDBconnAdaptee);
//A custom port was specified, export the
object using the port specified
if(objectPort!=0){
OTDBconnAdapter.unexportObject(jOTDBconnAdapter,true);
logger.info("jOTDBconnection unexported");
logger.info("Exporting jOTDBadapter:");
OTDBconnAdapter.exportObject(jOTDBconnAdapter,objectPort);
logger.info("jOTDBadapter exported");This is truly bizarre. The remote object is exported, then unexported again, then exported on the correct port. Why not provide the desired port number to the constructor of the object and have it export itself on the correct port in the first place. Saving two steps? This pattern recurs several times.

IPhoto not syncing to photos app on iPhone

I'm trying to see my shared photo folders from iPhoto on my iPhone 6 using the photos app but under sharing, the iPhoto shared photos don't show up under Shared. I've made sure I'm using the same account on all devices and Mac and enabled sharing. What gives?

Ok, in iPhoto I created a photo stream called My Cruise which I shared with those on the cruise. They can see those photos.
In the Photo app on my iPad, using the Photo App, I can see the photos. On my iPhone, however, they're not showing up. This is on my phone. When I look on my iPad, I can see all my shared albums.
I even turned off Sharing and turned it back on and nothing shows up. I'm using wifi if that even matters.

IPhone Photos app

Help! I really don't understand photos on my iPhone.
In the Photos app:
What is the difference between the "Photos", "Shared" and "Albums" tabs?
And then in the tab "Albums" what is the difference between "Camera Roll", "My Photo Stream"?
And then I have the app iPhoto which seems to have the same content as "Albums" as the Photos app without "Panoramas" and "Video".
Anyone able to help end my confusion!
With many thanks folks.

Hello Aspinalls,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about photo management in iOS. I have linked to the iPhone User Guide, which contains useful information regarding photos:

Photos app vs. iPhoto App IOS

On my iPhone and iPad/iPad mini, I have both "Photos" app (a kind of pink/orange starburst icon) and iPhoto for IOS. I have two questions a search didn't turn up answers for:
1) Do I need both these apps? They both display my photos in similar ways (photos/albums). I think Photos came with my devices and I think I downloaded iPhoto from the App Store.
2) Are they drawing on the same database of photos (presumably my Mac iPhotos and PhotoStream in iCloud) meaning the photos are not taking up doublespace?
I'd like a little space back on my devices and deleting one of these apps (if they aren't "sharing" photos) is a good way I think. I use Instagram to edit IOS photots - not either of these apps.
Thanks in advance!

The short answer:
Yes, you need both apps - or may want to have both.
And both are showing you the same photos, but in different ways, and they are just offering differnet views, the photos will not be duplicated.
See the iPhoto Help: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnka7d353af
All of the photos and video clips in the Photos app on your device automatically appear in iPhoto. You can also import photos into iPhoto from other devices and computers, other apps on the same device, or a digital camera (if you're using iPad)
iPhoto is showing you all photos stored on your iPhone in one place, and you can organize and edit the photos in a more elaborate way than with the Photos app by adding tags and brushing in effects. You can craete Journals andphoto books, and publish slideshows, and share photos to iTunes.
The Photos.app mamages the Camera Roll and is the central sharing place between differnet apps on your iPhone. Also, the Photos.app is the only app that can delete from the Camera roll.
You cannot delete the Photos.app - it comes with with the system software on your iPhoto. You could delete iPhoto, but the app does not need much space. Transfer your photos to your computer and delete the photos that you do not like.

Photos app crashes when I try to see "Collections"

On my iPhone I open the Photos app, touch "Collections," and the app crashes. Every single time. Please advise.

Hi Sara Lorimer,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know the situation with you Photos application must be very frustrating. In this situation there are two different steps that I would recommend. First I would suggest forcing the Photos application to close and then testing it out by opening it fresh. Please follow the steps in the attached article for instructions on this process.
iOS: Force an app to close
If the application is still closing when you touch on Collections, I suggest resetting your iPhone. This will not affect any of your data on the iPhone. Please follow the instructions in the article below that describe how to reset your iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great day,
Joe

Photo size reduced when attached to mail app, from PHOTOS APP in OS X 10.10.3

When I try to attach a photo from photos app to mail app, the photo size is reduced, even 'ACUTAL SIZE' is selected in mail app.
I have tried out to solve this issue, but could not find any way out. Is this a bug in PHOTOS app? Previously it was happening with iPhoto also, which was subsequently rectified by an iPhoto update.
Pl. help, if anybody has any solution

I made a mistake, sorry. I meant something different than I wrote.
When you share the photo from Photos to Mail, there are no quality settings in the Share dialog at all. The email window will only have the the options "Actual size", "Large", "medium", .... but no compression settings.
Actual size send the actual pixel size. But it is not clear, how badly the quality will be reduced by the compression.
That is why I compared the result to the file sizes that I get, when I use "File > Export", where I can select the quality.
I found that the compression and quality in "Share > Mail > Actual Size" is similar to "File > Export" with the JPEG Quality setting "High".

Photos app bug resurrects long-removed photos (related to PNG alpha)

Wanted to report/discuss a possible privacy concern and image glitch, and understand it better for submission to Apple's feedback page: the iPad (and maybe iPhone) Photos app will consitently resurrect long-deleted photos in your Camera Roll, under certain circumstances. These are long-removed photos (as in removed many months ago, prior to the iOS 5 update), and possibly only the reduced-size thumbnail versions.
Note: as near as I can tell, the deleted photos were NOT originally from the camera roll! That's where they resurface, but I believe they are photos from other albums, maybe once which used to by synched to iPad but which I no longer synch. So "removed" might mean deleted or it might mean "no longer synched to iPad"... the images are so old I can't recall.
So the bug, I'm guessing, it two-fold:
1) The Photos app (and/or iPhoto during wired synch?) is not fully removing photos (or at least, their thumbs). They're no longer visible in Photos app, but are being retained somewhere on the device.
2) A glitch in the Photos camera roll PNG handling (which I think may be new with iOS 5) causes those old images ro re-surface when you add a PNG to the camera roll. (The old photos were JPEG, but the image that triggers the bug must be a PNG with alpha channel)
I have seen this on both an iPad 1 and iPad 2, running iOS 5.
Here's how to reproduce it:
1) Synch some photos to your iPad, then deselect them for synching and re-synch (so they're not there any more). Also, add some photos or screenshots to the camera roll and then delete them. I say to do both because I'm not 100% where the old photos come from, and I'm hoping this covers all bases! Actually, most people have already done these things in the past, and can probably skip this step.
2) Generate a transparent PNG using the art app Procreate (and probably any app that saves PNGs to the camera roll with alpha channel). All you have to do is scribble somethign into a blank Procreate canvas, then export it to your photo album. There is no need to do anything special to get an alpha channel or PNG format: you always get that. (Unless you used the Fill command to completely cover the canvas.) Now in the camera roll there should be your scribble on a transparent background. You can email it to yourself and see that clearly in Photoshop or Preview.
3) Here's the glitch: look at your camera roll (thumbnails view) and you'll see that the alpha-transparent background of the image has become one of your old removed photos! Tap it to enlarge and the alpha becomes black (which is fine, although it may seem odd if you intended to paint onto the default white canvas). But for just a moment, before you see the black, you will get a full-size glimpse of the old photo. (Or, maybe, an enlargement of the thumbnail?)
4) If you keep saving more alpha PNGs, you'll keep seeing more and different old photos coming back to life in the alpha regions of the thumbnails (and, briefly, at full size).
5) If you delete all those PNGs and then save some new ones, you'll see the same sequence of old photos reappear again.
Needed fix: removed phtos/thumbnails should be properly purged, and alpha PNGs should show simply black (or some default background) at all times.

Ok, I replicated it and I don't like it! I didn't use the one you marked cause I couldn't call it up properly but I did Bing
transparent gifs and loaded up 3, one was totally invisible in the thumbnail and I could clearly see one of my pics perfectly in the thumbnail but when I brought it to page the gif filled the frame.
I have no idea where the pic came from, I mean I recognize it but from where in the album I have no idea.
Oh yeah, I was wrong about the first pic coming to page, it wasn't the same image but a different one...and I have no idea how the one that came up, (what i thought was the underlying pic) did, or how it got there or even from where.
This is some weird stuff though not as weird as that silly *** movie, what a load of tripe; I should have just spent my
time on this, it's infinitely more enjoyable!
Ok, here's the consensus from my layman iPad view:
What happened now and most probably before was a 'transparent gif' or a partially transparent gif like the one I spoke of first that I could see the edge of or the outer perimeter of, the underlining image with the gif taking up say 3/4 of the thumbnail; this it what it was.
This is totally apparent to me now because of your having me import a totally transparent gif which was invisible over my pic, thus the freaky part I didn't like...keying the thumbnail with one thing and ending up with something totally different when brought to page.
Still doesn't explain where this silly iPad is grabbing these pics from?
But here's something funny; my camera roll shows say 9,200 pics but my, 'iMy System' app say I have like 11,300 which I always thought was a fluke, that it was just reading wrong but maybe it's seeing something we're not. What if all those pics we're deleting to save space or just generally culling have never left the system? Maybe that goofy app is really reading the true count!
Those others up above us here who mentioned privacy concerns.. this could be whats going on, there's a ghost
in the machine and it be our old pics and god knows what else floating around in that iPads memory.
Ok, I'm crazy tired and I have to wrap this up. Least now we know how to replicate this but on the other hand I think we opened up an even bigger can of worms... the mystery of where all those images are hiding in our iPads?
I haven't hardwired to a computer since I upgraded to ios5 so whatever's going on here, leastwise for me is iPad
based and can't be blamed for synching issues like you discuss up above unless what I'm grabbing here is old stuff
reimported back into my pad from the mainframe when I was backed up for the ios5 upgrade?
Oh well, let me know what you think. Please do forgive my not getting back to you sooner on account of the movie
but you already know I regret choosing that over this! Hope you had a good night and thanks...

Weird email behavior in iPhone Photos app

On the weekend I took a few photos with my iPhone and I emailed one of them to my family, and everything seemed to be okay.
Now every time I open the "Photos" app it automatically opens the "New Message" window with a photo in the body as if I didn't already send the email. If I hit cancel and then "Delete draft" then next time I open photos, the same "new message window appears". I even tried sending off the email again to see if that would make it go away and it still comes up every time I open the Photos app.
The photo that appears in the "New Message" window is one that I sent out on Saturday and already deleted from my Camera Roll yet it keeps coming up.
I didn't have this problem with iPhone OS 3.x so it seems like a bug in 4.0 and 4.0.1. Has anybody else noticed this, or am I the only one?
Any ideas?

Ya I have this problem too! same situation. I sent a pic via email, it sent fine, now everytime I open the photo app it starts up a new email message. So far what I've tried and has been working for the moment is doing a hard reset on the iphone. It has cleared it up for the time being, we'll see if it returns or not.
