IPhone now displays photo's as grey "JPG" box, but photos are corrupted.
Maybe someone can help me here.
After the update to the 5.1 iOS, my 32GB iPhone 4S is now displaying some pictures in my Camera Roll as grey boxes with "JPG" in the middle. When you select the photo, it brings up a larger version of the grey box showing the "JPG" in the middle.
I've tried to delete the photos and re-sync my phone, but each time - more pictures seem to be showing up like this. Can someone shed some light on this? Or is this a known issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :/
I have a solution.
I had the same problem on my new iPhone 5S (iOS 7.0.3). Some photos are shown only as grey screen with characters "JPG" in center, even though those photos look fine on iPhoto 11 (ver 9.4.3)
It turned out that I had to rebuild the iPhoto Library entirely. To do it, press Command + Option while opening iPhoto and hold them until you see a dialog. The forth choice "Rebuild Database" was the right one for me. After the rebuild, connect iPhone to iTunes and sync the photos. You might have to delete all the photos first to put the fresh copy from the new library.
Hope this helps.

Some of my photos just show as grey JPG boxes
I updated my iPhone 5 from iOS 7.0.4 to 7.1.2 before Apple stops signing 7.1.2 because I don't want to update to iOS 8 yet. After updating and restoring from my backup, I discovered this problem. Some of my photos just show as grey JPG boxes. The pics seem to be corrupted. I can't even open them after exporting it to my macbook using Image Capture. To make things worse, I never transfer my pics to iPhoto or even iCloud which is really an embarrassing mistake. I reinstalled 7.1.2 and restored from my backup but still have the problem. Another weird thing is that I backup my iPhone in my iTunes at least once a week, but the most recent backup that I have now aside from what I made just before updating was from September 11, 2013, which is a year ago. I also tried using different backup explorer tools to try to retrieve my pics but my most recent backup doesn't have the folders that these programs are looking for, unlike my older backups. I guess my backups are really messed up. I don't know what to do now. I lost very, very important and memorable pictures. I am so devastated. Please help me

my iTunes detects photos on my iPhone and it's taking up almost 4 GB, but there are no photos on my iPhone…. need help
This means you have 4Gb of photos in your trash.
Go to Photos - recently deleted (an option in the same menu as "camera roll" and "photo stream") and finally delete the photos.
The 4Gb of space will then be cleared. -
I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging. How can I get Itunes to recognize my devices (that have always been recognized until this latest software update)?

When syncing, 16GB iphone now displays as 4GB!
I have just added some new songs to my itunes library and when i try to sync, i got a couple of error messages, saying that particulur files could not sync
When i then go to the Summary page on ITunes it now states the capacity of my iphone is 4GB, but its actually 16GB!! The capacity bar on the bottom, states no capacity!
However i know that my music and apps etc are only about 5GB - what happened to the other capacity?!
i haven't restored orginal settings yet, but do you think i shoud?
HELP!Connect the ièPod to iTunes.
Rightclick on the iPod icon in the left navigation panel: choose restore form backup.
When iTunes made a backup when connected (standard before doing sync) everything will be restored. If iTunes didn't make the backup, disaster.
It cannot hurt to try this. -
HT1444 Loaded 10.7.5 ...Now JPGs on external drives are corrupt!
Can I reinstall 10.7.4 to recover my drives and photos???
You said---Seagate drive was faulty, so we replaced the case
Well, its enclosure with SATA card was faulty, not the HD itself.
Ive heard about failing SATA cards so much over many years, I decided to write USER TIP on it.
Alas its so common a problem.
Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
There are no hard facts whatsoever, especially since so many people discard their assumed “dead/faulty” hard drives, but a good educated conclusion from years of examining and seeing this issue is that for hard drives made since 2010, and not dropped or generally abused, is that a minimum of 50% conservatively are perfectly fine! I personally estimate however that it likely approaches 60%+. -
Ultimately, I am using these photos in a document I am writing and for some reason, some of the photos I have scanned in to iPhoto are not showing as jpeg files . . . the file type is blank and when I try to move them, I get a circle with a slash through it indicating NO instead of the green circle with a + indicating that the photo can be moved and dropped elsewhere. I am using an Epson scanner and am scanning as jpeg images. I also have an option to scan as a jpeg2000 image but am not sure of the difference in the files so continue to scan as just jpeg. Does anybody have an idea as to why these particular files are scanning in as jpegs but apparently there is something not registering correctly. Could it be that they were scanned without doing an overview scan first? I know it can't be that simple . . any help would be appreciated.
What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

How can I get iPhoto working again?
No information so only wild guesses can be made
most common solution is Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

HT4623 i updated my iphone but my screen now displays the itunes logo with the usb cable
i updated my iphone but my screen now displays the itunes logo with the usb cable
Recent photos may be in your Photo Stream or in your iCloud backup if you chose to enable those backups.
If you were only backing up through iTunes and didn't complete a backup recently, then your photos are gone.

My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved? I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel. I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes. I have reset my photo stream. Not sure what else to try... I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa. Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not. Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.
To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
