No thumbnails in camera roll

Upgraded iOS to ver 4.0.1 Now I have some 89 pictures on my camera roll but only a few of the last picture thumbnails all the others are black. Tapping on a black area brings up a picture and able to scroll through them. Tried syncing again with and without sync photos ticked oft in itunes but still no thumbnails
Help

Just upgraded from iOS4 to iOS4.0.1, and all the pictures I took on iOS4 have black thumbnails -- pictures taken under OS2 and OS3 are fine, as are those I take with iOS4.0.1.

Can't open transferred photos in camera roll

I transferred photos from my old 4s to 5s using backup/restore but although I can see the transferred photos as thumbnails in camera roll, I can't open them or do anything with them. The photo simply opens for a second then disappears. This only happens with transferred photos not those taken with the 5s. Any suggestions?

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

Problem with Photos in Camera Roll after 4.0.1

Hello,
I have a 16GB iPhone 3G.
I updated to iOS4.0 the day it came out, and other than the slowness that everyone else was reporting, I didn't have any other issues.
When I updated to 4.0.1, everything seems a touch better performance wise, but I found a problem with my camera roll.
First, when I opened the Photos App, there was no thumbnail for Camera Roll (all others were ok).
I opened the camera roll, and the last 50 or so pics that I had taken, were all showing as one big Black blob (not individual black thumbnails, they were all joined)
If I scrolled up to older pictures, the older ones were fine.
I took a new picture to test it, and that one looks fine.
So now I can see all my OLD pictures, and any NEW pictures I take, but those same 50 pictures were still showing as one big BLACK blob.
I can still access the pictures if I touch them, and I can flip through them without any problems. I can also copy these photos from my phone to my PC, so the pictures themselves seem to be fine.
And after copying them to my PC, what I noticed by examining the timestamps, was that the problematic pictures were all taken after I updated to iOS 4.0. It seems that all pictures from 3.1.3 or earlier are showing fine, and now all pictures taken with 4.0.1 are showing fine as well. So only pictures taken with 4.0 seem to be affected.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Just for the record, my phone is not and has never been jailbroken.)

There is a solution!!
After installing iOS4.0.1 update on my 3G, I too had the black
blob in my camera roll. As posted in an earlier thread, here's
one way to resolve this problem. It worked for me!
Just email the photos that don't appear in the camera roll to myself,
delete the offending photos and then re-save them from the email.
A bit of a pain but it's a way around it. Good luck!

Deleted photo and thumbnail still shows up in album view and camera roll

Hi, whenever i delete a photo on either my ipad(2) or iphone(4s), the thumbnail of the deleted photo still shows up in the album view and camera roll.
Also, a picture that i deleted months ago (have saved other photos since then, and replaced the thumbnail) from my ipad randomly showed up in the album view and camera roll??
I have IOS 5.0.1 installed on both iphone(4s) and ipad(2).
Is this a software glitch or??
thanks

Sounds like a damaged database fie:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Increase size of thumbnail images in camera roll

hi, is there a app available which will increase the size of the the thumbnail images while scrolling images in the camera roll, I want to see 6 or 8 images on the screen per view. The default is approx 30 images

I'm not aware of any app that would help but you might want to make the suggestion to Apple that they add an option for larger sizes in a future release: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Camera roll not displaying thumbnails

About a week again some of the thumbnails vanished and instead were replaced with a plain white box with png or jpg in it. This is happening with old pictures (the thumbnails were working a week ago!). It hasn't effected any new photos I have taken in the last week. Please help!
I found a suggested fix online, which advised to download a program called iExplorer and then delete some PhotoData files from the iPhone. This did not work for me. Does anyone have an alternative solution please?
Thanks.

That is intentional. The Camera Roll album is no longer show as a separate album, also My Photo Stream is no longer a separate album. This Help document explains, where you will see the photos now.
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Have you enabled the "Summarise Photos" option? Then disable it.
By default, Photos displays a representative subset of your photos when you view by year or by collection.
To see all your photos, go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Summarize Photos.
And did you migrate your photos from iPhoto? Some photos may still be in the iPhoto Library, that is no longer supported:

Camera Roll in 4.2 (low res thumbnails?)

When taking pictures with IOS 4.2 and the default photo app, the preview thumbnails in the camera roll seem to be a lower resolution than in the previous versions of IOS. it seems to be missing the 'anti-aliasing' that was there before. more people notice this behavior?
When taking photos with ie ProCamera, everything is perfect.

Just tried it with two other iphones (a 3G and 3GS) and they both displayed the same symptoms :/

Messed up Camera Roll thumbnails from iPhone5 iCloud restore

Has anyone else experienced messed up thumbnails restoring from an iCloud backup to new iPhone5? There is a huge section in my Camera Roll where the 2nd and 4th columns do not display thumbnail images. Same with Photostream. I can click on the gray thumbnail and see the image so I know they're there. It is just messed up thumbnails. I'm not sure how to fix this?

I'm having the exact same problem, did you find a solution?

"Camera roll" photo thumbnail--doesn't change when delete photo

I took a, uh, revealing photo and, as normal, it showed up as the thumbnail photo for the "Camera roll" album in my iPhone.
However, after I deleted the photo, I expected it to be replaced with another photo as the thumbnail for the "Camera roll" album.
Unfortunately, it's not.
Luckily, I caught it before anyone saw.
I supposed I could take another dummy photo to replace it, but this should be fixed.

I'm sorry, but the fact that you took a potentially embarrassing picture does not mean that anything needs to be fixed.
Just take another pic and that thumbnail will be replaced.

All photos deleted now my camera roll is grey with MP4 thumbnails

Hi all!
My iPhone was super low on memory so I thought i'd copy and paste a load of my photos off of my phone onto my PC and then delete them off my phone.
I'd copied over what I wanted, and after that was done, I went back to the photos on my iPhone made sure everything that was selected was what I wanted to delete. So after I checked that, I deleted them.
Now, they have deleted the wrong photos and havent even copied any over onto my laptop. I am now left with lots of grey squares in my camera roll saying "MP4" when I click on it, it says "The requested URL was not found on this server"
I know there is probably no chance of me getting my photos back but can someone explain what is going on?! I am devastated as you can imagine.
Thank you very much
Eliza

Hello Eliza,
I am so sorry to hear that and I would be devastated too to lose photos. There may be hope, If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud, then you can replace the contents of your phone with that back up. Take a look at the article below on how to back up and restore your iPhone.

No Camera Roll Folder?

I have been looking for an answer for about a few months now. I seen some similar to this problem but nothing quite like mine. So basically I take pictures with my iPhone camera. When I hit the "Photos" application I have 1 album which is called "progress-fs-import" that cannot be deleted and the pictures I take with the camera are not saved onto this. When I open my "Camera" app and hit the thumbnail on the bottom left corner, that is where all my pictures are stored and saved. The problem lies here because when I try to sync these photos and videos, they are not found in my iPhoto or my iTunes. It just says that there are no photos/videos on my phone at all. So what I have been doing is basically emailing the pictures from my phone to my email. The only problem is with the videos they are too long and I have to crop them to a ridiculous short time. I have tried restoring my phone to factory settings, updating my hardware, and all that. Nothing seems to work at all. Can anyone help me at all? Thank you!

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup if done by iTunes instead of wirelessly with an iCloud account. The Camera Roll contents will never be found in iTunes.
When restoring your iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from the backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
If the former, try the latter.

My Iphone4 just stopped saving pics to camera roll from screen shot,email,safari,text and more.....

I have a 32gb iphone4 with ios 4.3.5(8L1). Yesterday I was given ,via sd card, 6 pictures of me that were taken a few days ago. I emailed these pics from my home computer to myself so I could save them on my iphone4, so I could edit them in Camera+ and post them on Instagram. I saved all 6 from email to my camera roll no problem. Then I imported the first one into Camera+ and edited it. When I went to save the edited picture to my camera roll it took a long time to save. (or so I thought it was saving). When I went to my camera roll to look at it my camera roll said " Rebuilding Camera Roll ". When it was done my picture was not there. So I tried again with the same outcome. Then I tried to go back to my email and save another picture. No luck, " Rebuilding Camera Roll " and no picture saved after that. So then I tried to edit a picture that I actually took with my Iphone4 built in camera and same issue. Then I tried to take a picture through Camera+ and same outcome. Then I tried to save through safari and still no luck. Then I went back to my email picture and did a screenshot. It worked!! Then I tried it again and it did not work. Then I tried to master reset and this did not fix anything. Then I turned my phone off over night thinking that would do the trick, nope! Then I tried all the above again today with no luck. Then I called Apple Tech. and they want $30 to talk to them to ask them what is wrong. That made me very disappointed since I paid over $400 dollars for my phone and pay over $1500 a year to use it. That's bad business if you ask me and will weigh in when it is time to renew. Does anyone have any insight on what the problem may be and, or how to fix it?? Please help!! Thank you very much!

Ighnot, are you jailbroken? Cause I am and I have the same problem except worse. I can't save a single pic, every single time I get the thumbnail grey box with jpg in it and the actual pic is black. Only way I get pic is by zooming in then taking screenshot and I still get the stupid safari toolbox and address bar in the pic

Can't see all photos on Camera Roll on laptop

I have a slightly unusual problem with my iPhone. I have downlaoded quite a few camera and photo apps from the app store. All of these work fine on the phone itself and I can view all pictures taken and edited with the various apps on the camera roll on the phone. My problem occurs when I connect my iPhone to my laptop and access it using Windows Explorer. When I do this I can only see the photos taken on some of the apps and not all of them. Photos taken using ClassicPAN, ClassicToy, ShakeItPhoto, Pro HDR, Pano to name a few can't be found. If I want to transfer photos from any of these apps to my laptop I have to email them but I have hundreds of photos so this is not feasible. I have a brand new Samsung laptop so maybe some of the settings are wrong but I don't even khow where to begin looking. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

What visual presentation do the other 900 photos have? A Dotted Square? Do you get a ! or ? when you double click on them?
IF so: The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

HT201317 how can I add multiple photos to camera roll

how can I add multiple photos to camera roll

If you mean from photo stream, open your photo stream album on your phone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Can not transfer multiple photos to camera roll

When I try to transfer more than one photo to the camera roll the app crashes. This is extremely annoying, as I have just finished editing hundreds of images. I am finding anything regarding transferring images on an iPad/iPhone very long winded and it's just before I give up on Apple.

If you mean from photo stream, open your photo stream album on your phone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
