Iphone photo library

my iphone photo library and been updating for 12 hours....i can't get into the library

The only pics that you can take off of the iphone are the ones taken with the iphone.
Since the iphone is not designed as storage for photos ( just a mirror of the selected albums on your computer), you cannot take other pictures off of the iphone.
There may be 3rd party software that may allow this. However, since the iphone optimizes resolution/file size for iphone viewing, the pictures would be in lower resolution than the original.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • I lost my hard drive and want to recover photos from iphone photo library

  • Photo on my iPhone Photo Library that I want to delete.

    It's not in iPhoto on my Mac, yet shows up in the iPhone, Photo Library and it will not delete. How can I delete it? This is one of the reasons I dislike iPhoto.
    iOS 5 and OS X Lion (latest iOS's)

    Thanks for responding Rysz.
    When I say Photo Library, I'm referring to the file hierachy inside the default 'Photos' app that ships with iPhone.
    Once opened you are presented with the following list of Albums.
    Camera Roll
    Photo Library
    Last Import
    Last 12 Months
    Inside the Photo Library, if I select the photo I want to delete, my action options are: Share, Copy, Add To. Not delete. There is no way to delete a photo from iPhone once it is inside the Photo Library.
    If I tap to open the photo my only other options are in a UIActionSheet:
    Email Photo
    Message
    Assign to Contact
    Use as Wallpaper
    Tweet
    Print
    Cancel
    I'm pretty familiar with Apple devices and user experience, but this seems a major bug.
    If anyone has an idea, that would be great.

  • IPhoto won't import my iPhone photo library.  Help!

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro, and am having difficulty importing photos from my iphone4.  When I open iPhoto, it allows me to import photos from my camera roll, but it will not allow me to import photos from my iphone albums or iphone photo library.  It doesn't even acknowledge that my iphone has any photos on it other than those in my camera roll.  Is there any way to import those?

    @sig Your reply misunderstands the issue. While it is straightforward to sync photo albums FROM iPhoto to the iPhone, there is no apparent way to import photo ALBUMS CREATED on the iPhone into iPhoto. I'm having the same issue and seeking an answer, which I'll republish here when I find it.

  • How can I move my iPhone photo library to my MacBook?

    How can I move my iPhone photo library to my MacBook? My MacBook had to have a new hard drive installed and I have my wedding pictures on my iPhone library, but not anywhere else. I tried selecting them and sharing or moving them. There are 465 pictures.

  • How to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties?

    I want to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties(name, list etc..) without dialog.
    Is there any suitable method/class to this?

    Allan,
    Thank you for your reply!
    My purpose is access to "Photo Library" by iPhone API.
    Because, I know several iPhone application which has own image list and the list is synced to "Photo Library".
    If I take photo by iPhone native camera, the taken photo is listed up on the image list so I guess those applications can access to "Photo Library" directly.
    Or.. any other solution..?

  • Transfer iphone photo library folders to computer

    Instead of syncing all of my photos on my iPhone at once over to my Macbook Pro in order to transfer my photos over to iPhoto, I would like some sort of semblance in doing so. I have all my photos on my iPhone organized in different folders in my iPhone photo library. How do I transfer my folders (pictures in them) over to my computer so that I don't have to reorganize each and every photo once they've been synced to my computer?

    1. The photo library on your phone is not the same as your iPhoto Library. For a start, thoe images have been compressed to a very small size to save space on the device and you're missing versions, metadata and so on.
    2. You would be better restoring from a back up.
    3. You can get these versions off your phone with an app like http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36028/iphone-photo-transfer . There are others. Search on MacUpdate
    4. Once you've recovered them to the computer you'll need to create a new Library to import them.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:
    Save photos to your computer

  • IPhone Photo Library and Album photos to iPhoto

    Hello:
    I am trying to import the photos on my iPhone to iPhoto. The photos from my Camera Roll will import, but the 2,000 or so photos I have in Photo Library and in my other Albums will not import. How can I transport my Photo Library and other albums on my iPhone to my Camera Roll? Or, how can I get all of them to upload to iPhoto? My end goal is to get them into iPhoto, but if I can get them in the Camera Roll, then that will work.

    At least you have that, although as Allan stated, you can never recover the original full-resolution pics from the iPhone (they were optimized to ~0.6 megapixel images, although that may be higher now with iPhone 4's higher-res display).
    Still, an external HDD is what you need. Personally, I have two of them, backed up to each at least weekly, and the two drives are stored in different locations (home and offsite). Every 2 months, I also backup pictures and movies to DVD -DL media and store that in a safe deposit box. Even then, a natural disaster affecting my whole area could theoretically wipe destroy it all - so, likely I'll add Mozy soon...
    Overkill? Maybe. But my daughter is only going to grow up once, so I'm not going to risk losing the digital memories of these times...

  • IPhone photo library shows black, but it shows the number of pics in it

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Photo Library on my iphone4.
    It shows the number of photos contained in the Library, but when I choose the folder, it shows black.
    This happened after iTunes automatically synced with my iPhone without my wish or knowledge.  During the sync, I saw it started deleting images, so I immediately stopped it. But maybe it was too late???
    The reason I have my pics in the library was that I had to empty my pictures folder on my PC, so I moved my pics to my iPhone. I guess that was a mistake...
    Does anyone know if there is any way for me to be able to see my photos again? 
    Thanks for your attention!

    They could be gone unfortunately. You might try quitting the photos app then starting it again.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    If that doesn't work try quitting it again but reset your iPad before restarting the Photos app.
    Quit your Photos app like I describe above but do not restart it. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPhone Photo Library "Ghost" Space

    My iPhone shows 2.3 GB of data in my photo library but I just cleaned out all my photos? I already synced to iTunes and rebooted the device. I have updated to iOS8.

    Further to this post I noticed that although I cannot see any photos in the iPhone app, the iTunes summary still showed 4+GB photos and the ever growing (by now about 7+GB) Other files (still showing 8.1GB in the Settings>Usage for photos only leaving 2+GB free on the phone). After numerous resets and sync of the iPhone, finally got to 6.2GB free space, iTunes showing 0 for photos, but iPhone Settings>Usage still showing 4+GB for photos (was the original size of photos on my iPhone). It appears due to some file corruption the original photo library is still on the phone but inaccessible to iTunes and the iPhone Photos app.

  • Transfer Only iPhone Photo Library to New iPhone

    I have a new iPhone 6 and I want to transfer only my photo library from my old iPhone 5. I don't want to do a restore with my new iPhone because it will copy everything from my old phone. Is there a way I can copy over just the photo library from my old phone to the new?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc then see this page
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are third-party iPhone/iPad apps such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can be used to copy photos off your device via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer. Do you not have a backup copy on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the other computer ?
