No Thumbnails with other photo apps (gorillacam, cppro, etc..) issue

When I use any app other than the included camera app to take a photo there is no thumbnail when I import them to my computer with Adobe Elements Uploader or open the folder to my iphone and view them in the folder. Older photo thumbnails are there but new images thumbnails taken with other apps are not. The thumbnail is a blank gray square. If you double click the blank thumbnail it will open in Windows Photo Viewer and you see the image fine but you can't tell what image you are opening because there is no thumbnail. This occurred after the OS 4 upgrade on my 3GS iphone. This is also occuring on my husband's iphone as well after the upgrade so it isn't just mine.

Same here.
Iphone 4, not jailbroken, with latest revision of iOS4 and I only can see the thumbnails of the photos that I take with the native camera app or the thumbnails of the videos (edited or not). If I use camera+ or try to edit any photo with any app I lost the thumbnails (so far I tested PhotoForge, PhotoGene, CropForFree, Photo Utility & ToonPaint). I tested it with iPhoto on my iMac and with the microsoft camera & scanner wizard on my PC.
This issue didn't happen with my iPad so I must agree with anilsudhakaran and conclude that with the last iOS update the way the metadata is stored changed and the apps dont or cant write it correctly thus the loss of the thumbnails.
I hope this is solved fast, is really a bother to import your photos without seeing what are you importing!

Problems with the photo app

so recently, a day after updating to IOS 5, i was using my camera to take pictures at an event. i was using the camera from the lock screen and snapping with the up button. well as i was taking pics i would look at the pic, as one normally would. after i took the picture, the photo was perfectly clear no problem i was happy with my photos. about an hour later when i went in to view the pics, my camera roll was all glitchy. When i would scroll up or down there was a huge lag. looking through the albums, there were whole rows of blacked out squares where my pics should be. it looked like the pics had gotten corrupt. the biggest problem is when i clicked a picture to view it, it was super blurry. As i mentioned previously, the pictures were clear. normally you select a picture, and you have that second where the app refines the pictures. My phone/app was no longer refining the pictures so they were just blurry. so i restarted the phone hoping that would fix the problem. nope. i restored it to factory settings nothing.
some other symptoms include, not being able to attach a photo, either to messages, email, or facebook. when i click a photo and delete it, if i select another photo it will display the pic i just deleted. sometimes when i select photos the photo app will just crash and take me back to the home screen. my diagnoses is that my pictures have somehow managed to corrupt the photos app, but i am really not an expert. also if i try to back up my photos, from either iphoto or itunes there are no pictures at all to select.
i have called apple, they are giving me a replacement. but, hopefully this helps other people because i did not see anything out there related to my problem. i hope the next ios update can fix this issue, if it is one.

I apologize for not replying earlier after i went to the apple store. but i will explain what the apple rep did.
first off, i recommend trying several things before you wipe your iphone.
1.The obvious, reboot your phone by holding the home button. If that does not work then...
2. Backup your phone, then do a restore from backup. If that doesn't work then...
3. This is where it gets tricky, my dilemma is that i had taken pictures that i didn't want to lose. Keeping the pictures on my phone was the most important thing to me so i tried a couple different things. In my original post, i mentioned that i could not attach pictures to a message to email them to myself. Otherwise, I would have emailed all 100 pictures to myself, no matter how long it took. There are several Extractor programs out there but they are a bit pricey, in my opinion. The one i used was called "Photo Transfer App". You can find this app on the app store, it costs 2.99, but its an awesome little app. It is worth the money. So if you dont care about anything on your phone, if you dont mind losing all your data, eg. notes, music, or photos, then in the next step you will restore your phone as a new phone. All the above steps were my own way to try to troubleshoot the problem.
So at the apple store heres what they did...
First, I showed the girl all the problems i described above. after doing all the steps above, she was like this looks like a real problem. I told her it happened after i updated to ios 5. she said its not the ios, she has seen it on the iphone 3. but i kind of doubt that, because i have not seen anything like this in any forum. but anyways....
To save my photos she recomended i email them to myself, the Internet at the store was not that quick because
of all the devices connected so she said i should do it from home.
but the steps to email (i did not try this method):
-click photos>click the 'select photos' button (looks like a square with a right facing arrow located at the bottom left corner.)>select any photo you want to email-click share-then select email.
I had explained that i had already backed up my photos so we continued...she asked me several times are you sure you saved everything. She continued to emphasize that all my data would be lost when we restore as a new phone. i said no problem, i can do without the things i have on my phone. keep in mind when we tried to restore from backup i was having the same problems, so we decided the back up was also corrupt and was no longer useful.
To restore as a new phone. the lady said this is one of the cool things on ios 5. i'm not sure if you have to be connected to wifi, but i would think you should be connected just to be safe.
-click settings>general>reset>then click 'erase all content and settings'. this will delete everything. Make sure you select the restore as a new phone.
this has fixed the problem for me, i have not had anymore problems. The apple rep said that she thinks either something dealing with the photos app or one of my photos has corrupted the hardware.

IPhone Sync with Yosemites Photos App

Hi there,
I know, it's still Beta, but I am wondering, if I get it wrong somehow... Will it still be possible to sync Photos from Photos App in OSX Yosemite to iPhone via iTunes and without iCloud Photo Library?
Yesterday I installed the new Beta Release of Yosemite with the Photos Apps, which is quite amazing. Until I tried to sync Photos to iPhone. There is no way to do so. I still can choose to import Photos to iPhone from iPhoto or Aperture or via File, but no Photos App available.
I definitely don't want to use iCloud Photo Library. Will I be forced to?

10.10.3 is out now. You can sync photos to the iPhone with iTunes. You don't have to store your photos in iCloud Photo Library.

Has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

You have to go into your Gmail account settings.
Then Security.
Then turn ON 2-Step Verification
Follow the instructions to link a cell phone to your google account. They will text you a secondary code and once you've entered that your 2-step verification will be set up.
Then you should have the option on the bottom of the page to add a device. Call it apple tv and then it will generate a secondary code specifically for your Apple TV.
On the Apple TV itself, ultimately I think you have to enter just the first part of your e-mail address (before the @gmail.com) as your Youtube login username.
Then you should enter your gmail account password.
Apple TV will tell you it is incorrect.
Then, retry and enter the long secondary password that google generated for the apple tv.
That should do it.

Do iphone pics mix with other photos in iPhoto?

do iphone photos mix with other photos when i upload to iphoto?

Exactly what do you want

Clicked buy book. Says two photo boxes need photos but there are photos. Tried replacing with other photos. No luck. Help? in them. I tried to replace with other photos

Finished photo book. Clicked buy book. It said two boxed needed photos although already filled. Tried to replace with other photos no luck. Help!

What iPhoto version and theme are you using? Do you have any full page photos in the book? If so make sure the layout is not this one for a one photo per page with a photo background:
So check the layout for the pages to see if you have one that requires a photo for the page background. The screenshot above is for iPhoto 9.

With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto. For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include. Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP. So, I have to go through the export process. It is tedious. What am I missing? Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

Can't open existing library with new photos app on iMac 10.10.3

I have upgraded my iMac to yosemite 10.10.3, with the new Photos app. I have been using iPhoto Library Manager to create and manage my libraries, which I store on an external hard drive.
Now, with the upgrade and new Photos app, some libraries open and I can access my photos without a problem, but other libraries don't seem to open. Instead, I get the new Photos windows with the demo slideshow, etc. I'm worried that the photos within the libraries I'm unable to open are now gone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

How is the EHD formatted?
If the external hard drive is not formatted OS X Extended (journaled) Photos will not be able to open them. Actually iPhoto requires the volume to be formatted that way also but doesn't check the format before opening. Many users have been able to operated on EHDs that were not formatted properly for a while but eventually ended up with a damage/corrupted library.

ICloud shared photo stream stopped working with new photo app

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
Don't the albums show at all?
Are you signed in with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before? And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
And wait.
The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

What the **** is wrong with this Photo app?

This new Photo app is not working very well, i can't just simply press "delete" button to delete a photo anymore, really? And I wish I had not deleted my iPhone app... ****!

Appreciate it! I am more of a PS6 and Lightroom person, I only use iPhone to manage small Albums when I am on a time crunch... now it seems a little more difficult to do with Photo app. I guess I will have to get used to that. I don't do edits in iPhoto, just albums, create and delete after upload them to my website. Wish Apple would have a "trash" folder on the sidebar like they did with iPhoto, so we can just drag and drop to "Trash" on what we need to delete.
or even keep it iPhone looking but add all new features and keep the old ones as well lol

With Apple Photos app

Since trying to migrate 43k photos in about 200 albums to the new Apple Photo App my Apple TV is showing only a small random assortment of photos and no longer albums.
This was a ten year project of putting together family albums of family events. It is not there anymore.....
How do I get Apple TV to again show my albums from before "Photos."?

The only solution seems to be iTunes Home Sharing (go to iTunes, File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV). In the window that pops up, choose "Share Photos from", and pick Photos. You then get a choice of "All photos and albums" or "Selected albums".
In case you use multiple Photos libraries, this will only show the primary library albums (the library labeled System Photo Library). There seems to be no way to choose albums from the iCloud Photos library on the Apple TV. I've filed bug with Apple, and encourage everyone to do so if you're interested in this capability.

Do I have to use iCloud with new Photos app?

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app. When I read what Apple has to say about the update/change I am worried that I have to put my photos on the iCloud... I read quotes like "If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well" and "iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos in the cloud" directly from the Apple website. I absolutely do NOT want my photos on the iCloud. I currently take photos on my phone and upload them onto my Mac when I want to, and I want to continue to do this. So I'm trying hard NOT to update my software until I understand better what the new Photos app will require of me. Any help is appreciated.
Update is OS X 10.10.3, Photos app

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app.
For the time being is iPhoto still working very well with the latest release of MacOS X 10.10.3. You can try out the new Photos for Mac app, while you are still keeping your main Photos library in iPhoto.
With MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1. Apple does not sell iPhoto any longer, so you can neither update it nor purchase it. But you can reinstall, if you already own iPhoto and it is associated with your Apple ID.
See this user Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:
See this link: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

Missing EXIF data when using other photo apps besides "Camera"

I have recently been trying to use the EXIF location and camera info information created with images in the iphone 3GS and noticed that the only image files that have the full EXIF data attached when imported to my computer are the images created using the iPhone native Camera app. I have numerous photo apps that take great photos which when downloaded are missing almost all the EXIF data.
What is up? Is apple requiring third part apps to strip the data or somehow blocking them from capturing the EXIF location data for download?
I know many of these apps are using the location data to geotag the images and link to maps.
Thanks for any info!

Thanks, I posted it there! Actually I have been searching for some site to officially post a bug report to Adobe, but didn't manage to find it myself...

HT204264 I am having trouble with the Photos app.

I have a 2011 macbook air with a core i7 and 8 megs of ram and a 512 gb hard drive that has plenty of space left. When I upgraded to 10.10.3, it switched my iPhotos app for Photos. Now when I run the app, it makes my fan go crazy and my processor usage goes through the roof on activity monitor. When I quit, everything goes back to normal. I have about 7000 pics and iPhoto would be slow when I would use it, but not like this. I thought Photos was supposed to be able to handle large photo libraries. I haven't heard of anybody else having this problem online. The only thing I can think of is when I started it up and it was "optimizing" or something, I ignored that message and closed it or something. But now I have let it run overnight and it shows no improvement. Thanks for any help you can offer!

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

Laundry List of Problems with New Photos App...

This isn't really a question, per se, but a list of complaints that others might have input on workarounds.
1. I made a habit of downloading my photos to the computer after each activity that merited it. As such, the images were naturally sorted into Events that neatly matched. As far as I can tell, my images are all in one giant jumble of crap now. Did I miss a step in the transition where it asked me if I wanted to keep my Events as Albums in the new app or is this just something I'm going to have to do manually? (I guess I did have a question...)
2. I try to avoid deleting my photos from my SD cards until I have them backed up in at least two locations. As such, I end up relying on the app's ability to recognize the previously imported from the new. This afternoon, I put the SD card in and it did just that, however the import buttons were disabled and even selecting the new images didn't re-enable them. I had something else to do, so I properly ejected the SD card and came back later. Now when I put the SD card in, it ONLY sees the old photos and doesn't even recognize the new ones as old ones. They are completely invisible to the app. And it won't let me import from an SD card with the Import function, simply "graying out" the folders on the card so they can not be selected. I had to drag-copy the files into an empty folder on my desktop and then import from that location. This is precisely n-1 steps too many.
It really seems like this application could have used several more weeks of bug testing before being released. I'm not prepared to say that it is definitively worse than iPhoto (which wasn't exactly phenomenal), but it really seems like a weak excuse to cram the iCloud down your throat. That might be the corporate goal, since they keep putting tiny HDs in the MacBooks, despite the rapidly improving SSD technology and declining prices.

In Photos your Events were converted to Albums. Easiest access is if you enable the sidebar (View Menu)
I've seen a couple pf reports of oddities with importing from cards. Nothing to help you there I'm afraid.
