My iPhone 3GS is making multiple photo folders, not good

I've been taking pictures and screen shots and they get put into about different folders randomly. Normally when I hook my iphone up to the computer, it will only show the "DCIM" folder, then "100APPLE" sub folder. Well now it is showing 100Apple through 110Apple folders and 999APPLE folder. Anyone know why it would be doing this? How can I fix before formatting it?
Thanks for looking

I assume that when you look at photos in the iPhone you see only one Camera Roll? So this issue is when you connect the 3GS to your computer, which I take to be a Win PC.
Using a Mac with iPhoto for removing photos from my 3GS (and 2G before it), I've not experienced this. But it is not unusually for cameras to do this. One of my Canon DSLRs stores no more than 100 images in one folder then creates another one. This could be the way the camera is implemented in the iPhone. If so, you can delete them or format them away but they will come back.

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,

Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

HT4061 iphone 3GS screen locked, slide bar does not work

Iphone 3GS. The slide bar does not work, ie the screen lock does not unlock. I have tried to reset (power and home buttons) and also to restore my iphone several times using iTunes without any success. Any suggestions? My son uses the phone now for games, so it has no carrier.

A reset can be done by tapping and holding the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears.

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.

IPhone 3GS upgrade to OS4 Photo problem

Hi All:
After updated my iPhone 3GS to OS4 system, I found all the pictures are damaged. The resolution becomes less than 320*240...
Do you have some ideas about it?
Many thanks to any reply.

Okay - Have managed to fix this issue.
1) Un-sync photo's via itunes by unchecking the 'Sync Photos From' box
2) Once this has done and photos from Iphone have been deleted, *reboot Iphone*.
3) Sync photos from desired folder as normal via itunes. Once done *reboot phone*
Think the key here is to reboot your iphone everytime.

Can I have multiple photo folders in iTunes?

There are no photo folders in itunes.
You can sync photo folders via itunes. I sync several albums from iphoto with my ipod classic.
Go under the photo tab and look at the choices.

IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Klaus

I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

Photo folders not showing on ATV

Hi,
Just set up my new ATV yesterday, and overall I really like it. However, I do have one problem with photo syncing.
I set up iTunes to sync all the contents of a folder on my iMac called "Photos". All 2,500 photos appear to have synced to the ATV. The problem has to do with sub-folders, or more specifically sub-sub-folders.
My "Photos" folder has two main sub-folders within it, each of which in turn contains multiple sub-folders. For example, the "Photos" folder has a sub-folder called "By date", which in turn contains sub-folders named by the date the photos were taken (e.g. "Jan 2009"). On the ATV, when I go to "My Photos", I am shown a list of the top-level sub-folders, one of which is this "By date" sub-folder. But when I click on the "By date" folder, I am not shown a list of the available sub-folders - I am simply shown thumbnails of all the photos from all the sub-folders in this "By date" folder together. It's as though the "By date" folder didn't contain any sub-folders, and all the photos in the sub-folders were just all together in the "By date" folder. Obviously this makes it rather difficult if I want to look at photos from a specific collection or time period.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks in anticipation,
Rob

Strange thing is that ATV does indeed show subfolders, but seemingly only down to one level.
May be that was what I remember - eitehr way it wan't good for the way I had photos organised (Year/Month/Event folders).
Don't think there's an automatic way of getting each folder to import into an album as ilife 08 at least split stuff into events based on date (which could easily be merged) but you then had to create an album from the event.
Maybe some kind of smart album setups would work.
Try asking the knowledgeable folk in the iphoto forum.
