IPhone 6plus camera freezes when trying to take photos from within other apps

Hi, 8.1 6Plus, my regular camera turns black screen when trying to take photos from within other apps or sometimes between photos in the regular camera app. I can still take a photo, I just have no idea what I'm seeing or taking a picture of. Then when I press retake (in other apps) the screen comes back on and it works. Its annoying more than anything else. Any ideas? Have done the whole close apps/restart process.
Thanks!

What version of iPhoto? How much disk space did you have before deleting things?

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

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.

Camera wizard does not recognise any devices with a camera attached when trying to transfer photos from iPhone 5s.

iTunes recognises my iPhone 5s attached, but does not come up with the scanner/camera wizard giving me the option to upload pictures. I've tried going to control panel on the computer to try and open it that way, but it does not acknowledge that any devices with a camera are attached. It gives me the option to manually add one, but then it gets too technical for me. Anyone any ideas? Help will be greatly appreciated. - Thanks
(P.S. - I'm using Windows XP if that makes a difference).

Hey Catherine Sian,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone being recognized in iPhoto. The following resource may provide a solution:

TS1315 when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you

TS1307 "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". This message pops up when trying to mail photos from iPhoto. How do I fix it?

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help.

IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?

iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?
iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

IPhone 5s freezing when trying to send photos

After I select a picture from camera roll and a contact to send it to, the phone freezes and the message disappears taking me back to the home screen.
This only happens when trying to send pictures from photo app. When sending by starting from messages, it works just fine.

Found it... i did not have the window fully expanded and when I did.. there were the options. I quickly deleted and added my sympatico account and even though I have the BCC ticked, the emails are not showing up in my email inbox. I have to manually enter my email address in the cc box of the email. thanks for your time.

IPhone 4s crashes in 7.1 when trying to view photo from camera

My iphone crashes every time I try to view a photo after taking it in the camera app. It goes to a blurred screen and just hangs, the only way to get out of it is to hold the top button for several seconds and the phone reboots after several minutes. This iphone is an att 4s 16gb running iOS 7.1. It takes photos fine, and I can view them I the photo app, so this is really more of an annoyance than anything, but I was hoping someone might have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there Astjohn,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issues persist, take a look at the troubleshootign steps found in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.

Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?

My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?

Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
Doesn't delete anything though.

LR4 freezes when trying to import photos

Everytime I try and import photos LR freezes or takes forever to show source options.

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Aperture freezes when trying to export photo

Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo. Why? I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!

I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!
Try to send a signal from the Terminal, as described in this user tip:
If Aperture is unresponsive, how to quit?
Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo.
What is your Aperture version?
Have you tried any trouble shooting steps?
First of all check, if you have enough free disk space for the export. The oprating system needs working space in addition to the size of the of the exported image file. Keep at least 10GB free.
Where are you exporting to? To a folder on your system drive or an external drive? Do you have write permissions on that folder?
Try to repair your Aperture library - see this Manual page:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
If repairing the database does not help, try "repair permissions" as well, and finally "Rebuild". Make a backup of your library, before trying to rebuild.

Lightroom 5.7.1 stops responding when trying to import photos from iPhone.

As the title says, when trying to import the photos from my phone which I've done with Lightroom for a couple years now, the program stops responding entirely. This happens with both mine and my wife's phones. We did leave hers plugged in over night and it eventually started responding again and I was able to import her photos. But I can account for at least 5 hours during which it was not responding first. I'm not sure what changed over night that finally let it work again.
Any ideas? Thanks!

You're sure you want to stop using iphoto? Then I would try it this way instead:
Export each event in your iphoto library separately, put the photos where you want to keep them and use "from files and folders". If there's an event that the organizer chokes on, then you'll have to go into that one photo by photo to see where the problem lies. (You are aware that using "from iphoto" is duplicating your entire iphoto library, so you don't want to do that AND keep using iphoto, right?)
