IPhone Camera won't save photos/iPhoto can't see photos

My iPhone camera is having a lot of problems. 
1. Photos the are clear when taken are blurry when reviewed.
2. When I try to delete a photo, it says "saving photo" instead.
3. Photos don't save properly.
4. Although I have 900 pics on my iPhone, iPhoto recognizes the iPhone but says there are no items.
I tried wiping the phone and restoring from back up, and restarting multiple times.  Help!!!

This worked!
summary:
Download an iphoneexplorer -http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-pc.php
go to photodata folder, delete this files,
com.apple.photos.caches_metadata.plist
Photos.sqlite
PhotosAux.sqlite
That's it.

Hi everyone.
I had the exact problems that you're all describing. Pictures getting pixly/blurred, camera app crashing, and at the end I couldn't even open the picture-viewer. I found this thread and was let down, but I continued searching for a tip and was rewarded.
This fix worked like a charm:
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/how-to-fix-iphone-camera-roll-crash-and-phot os-turned-to-other-in-itunes/
It gives you a step by step-solution which was fairly simple to follow. Afterwards, my camera app works again just fine and I have no problems viewing my pictures.
And best of all, no restore or factory restore needed!
Good luck, best wishes from Sweden.

  • After 2 weeks using ios5 camera roll doesn't work I can't see Photos inside

    After updating my iPhone 4 to ios5 first I did was organize photos from the camera roll in differents folders.  These folders disappears automaticly after some days and now everytime I try to see a photo from the camera roll or from the camera after take photo the app close and return to the main screen.

    Your Camera Roll is corrupted. I don't know why or how, but if you can't delete any photos from it and it doesn't import photos via the cable about the only thing you can do is restore the phone.

    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
    You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
    The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

  • Updated iPhone 4 to latest ios7 and now my camera won't save any photos to my albums

    Updated my iPhone 4 to the latest ios7 and now my camera won't save photos to my albums? How do I fix that?

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

    have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
    Best of luck.

  • IPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S

    Even though I plug in, iPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S device.  iTunes sees it, sometimes even if it isn't plugged in, but iPhoto is not seeing it.  This also happened to a friend who repeatedly connected and disconnected until it was recognized.  That hasn't happened for me yet, and it sounds like a bug that needs fixing. 
    Anybody else have this experience?  Know a solution?  Something?

    It's a long shot but the method posted by Robin Johnson in this post might work for you:

    This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
    Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

  • Can't see photos taken on iPhone on my iPad

    I have done the setup for iCloud using the settings screens on my iPhone and iPad but can't see photos taken on one device on the other. What am I missing?

    Check Settings>iCloud to be sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos.  They are uploaded when the camera is closed, you are connected to wifi, and your device has at least 20% battery life remaining.

  • My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    for the photos: make sure you reboot the device so that the changes are taken into consideration.
    For emails: log out of your email account, make sure the emails from that account have been deleted, then log back in, and go to the mall app, but open only the inbox. as long as you don't open your email folders, the phone won't download them.

  • In iphotos, can you change photos to another event?

    In iphotos, can you move photos to another event? I have a birthday party and a grandchild at the same weekend, and the photos as all mixed up.

    Hi Jane
    In my version of iPhoto (09) just open up iPhoto and select 'Photos' under LIBRARY on the left hand side. Get the two events in view, reduce the photo size to the minimum if needed. Just drag the photo from the wrong event to the correct one

  • Can't see photos outside of iphoto

    So I have quite a few photos uploaded to iphoto. I can see all of them in their separate events in iphoto. However, if I go to gmail or facebook to upload some of those photos, i can only see events older than about 3 months (and therefore, photos older than that). Is there some setting that i'm inadvertantly triggering which is only letting me see some of my events in other contexts?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • I can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    i can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it.  I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go.  I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it.  My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue.  It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking.  It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above.  I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes.  It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me.  She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

  • Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?

    Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
