Notification banners get stuck/freeze IOS8 & Facebook only recognises non existent camera roll
Updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 yesterday, and I have noticed a few clear bugs, such as Facebook and other apps still connect to your 'camera roll', which now, annoyingly doesn't exist, so you can only post pictures to Facebook from this 'camera roll' folder which is now 'recently added', which only shows and lets you add/upload pictures taken within the last 30 days.
But one of the most annoying bugs I have found is that the notification banners which pop up such as text messages, whats app messages and facebook notifcations/messages, freeze sometimes and I cannot swipe the banner off my screen. I have searched the internet and others are experiencing the same problem, can Apple fix this please?! Is anyone else experiencing this problem? any ideas from anyone ?
Thanks!!
The issues related to the 3rd party apps (ex: Facebook) should be resolved when the developer of THAT application updates their app to support iOS 8. Regarding the notifications, you can go to settings, notifications, and change the type of notification to banners (which disappear on their own after a few seconds), or off, if they are getting stuck. Again, that may have to do with the 3rd party apps not being updated to run with iOS 8.

I am now on my third replacement phone from Apple because of this issue. My iPhone 4S frequently hangs (gets stuck), without response, when I click on the trash icon to delete a photo, for about 20-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. I notice that this problem of freezing happens also when I use my Messages app for texts. There is no crash that occurs because the app responds after hanging for some time, therefore does not create a crash report to be sent to Apple. I never had this problem on my iPhone 4, and truly regret upgrading to the new device. I bought this phone for the faster processor, however I ended up with a device that is much slower and unresponsive. At the instruction of the multiple geniuses at the Apple store, I've restored the phone numerous times and set it up as a new device to no avail, and have lost app data every time. I've had three different phones now, and the genius cannot resolve my issue. they've even done what's called a DFU mode restore to restore the device firmware, yet no fix. Is anyone having similar issues? I'm starting to think its a software issue, although the apple store kept replacing my phone with a "remanufactured phone" even though I was within the 30 day return period. When I asked to get a new phone from the box, they told me it couldn't be done since I had my device replaced with a repair model already.
I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function. -
Firefox gets Stuck while Playing Facebook Games and Working in Another Tab
Firefox gets stuck while playing facebook games (restaurant city) and side by side working in another tab or window of firefox. Switching between tabs takes time and on facebook scrolling doesn't remain smooth it gets stuck again and again while scrolling the page.
Also, in earlier versions it was a great feature that when once a game is loaded then when i open it second time it was loaded immediately without any complete loading but now every time you play the same game it will load completely which happens generally when we reinstall firefox so that our saved cookies gets destroyed.
ON THE OTHER HAND OPERA 10.6 LOADS FACEBOOK GAMES SMOOTHLY NO HANGS NO STUCKS NO FREEZES EVEN DOING OTHER WORK AND THE GAME ALSO LOADS IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT TIME WHEN IT IS OPENED.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The 3.6 versions came upsame things happen to me also the cache system is so slow it even download the flash player game after 3 or 4 days completely and hang is always the error when ever i use the fire fox also there is one more thing some time computer is not opening any site what ever u type mozilla is disconnected from IP what ever he issue is but if u close the firefox and start again it is working for a while after some time it may happen again time is not counted over this matter so i m sure this is the trouble from fire fox coz other browsers are working in the same time while mozila sucks

IPod Classic 7th Generation gets stuck (freezes).
I bought my Ipod Classic 160 7th Gen. 3-4 months back. For fist time I restored my Ipod. Everytime when I connect my Ipod to latop it gets stuck (freezes). So, everytime I required to reboot or reset it by Pressing Menu and Center button simultaneously. While connecting IPod I disconnect all other USB devices.
Hello mayur_mahajan,
I would be concerned too if my iPod classic would freeze everytime I connected it to iTunes. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below:

Is there any way to transfer a video off of Facebook into my own video/camera roll?.......I got new service but didn't get to back up my phone so I lost a few videos, but they're uploaded to my Facebook and I wanted to get them back to my phone
No, but you can save a photo on FaceBook.
Try downloading/saving the video from FaceBook on your computer. If successful, after doing so you can transfer the video to your iPhone along with any photos on your computer or alone. They transfer won't be in the Camera Roll, it will be in your iPhone's Photo Library. -
I have had my iPhone for about a year, and I have a photo file from my old blackberry. When I go to back up my photos, it only backs up the camera roll. How do I back up the other album? The laptop where I had those photos broke, please can someone help.
You're going to have to email those photos to yourself.

I setup a new iPad air and did a restore from iCloud and only part of my camera roll downloaded?

Welcome to the Apple Community Xena1940.
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete. -

I have just bought an new i Phone, but I had an old iPod that I authorized on iTunes.
Now, when I'm trying to deauthrize it, iTunes just get stuck, and won't continue working unless i shut it down directly from the task manager....
What can I do?
ThanksCould any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.
Please please help me, if you know how.

When I plug in my ipod I can only get pics from my camera roll. Its like the other pics are not even there. I am afraid if I sync it to my computer I will erase all these picture. There are over 2500 pics of my family and kids. I loaded them from my Adobe photoshop 5 software.
You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album. -
How can I get a video from my iMac onto my iPhone Camera Roll
I recently bought a Go-Pro, and make time lapse videos, but those are made on my iMac, and I want to transfer them to my iPhone's Camera Roll.
I can easily get them in the "Videos" folder, but problem is, I want to upload them to my Instagram account, so they have to be in the Camera Roll.
I read a few other topics that suggested using "DropBox" which I tried, but when I try to save the video on my phone, it either says "Exporting" for a few minutes then an error, or it says this type of file cannot be saved. Its a ".mov" file.Copy Photos Between iOS Devices

Viewing only videos in the camera roll
How can I only view videos like I could with IOS 6 which let you choose in the upper right hand corner if you just wanted to look at photos or just videos.
Thanks!No, sorry.
The only way now is you'll see the movie camera image superimposed on the thumbnail for the videos and at the bottom of the camera roll, you'll see a photo count and video count displayed. -
3403 photos on iPhone, yet only 1,540 in camera roll
Hello, please help me
I have an iPhone 3gs, and have taken alot of photos on it. I recently had to restore the phone from icloud, and have done so several times to try fix the problem.
On itunes, my phone comes up as having 5gb of photos. This is correct.
On iphone settings/general/about it says I have 3403 photos. Correct.
However the problem is only 1,540 of these photos show up on the camera roll.
I've restarted, I've restored, and nothing seems to work. Even watched it download all the photos today, only for it to revert back to 1,540 photos.
Does anyone know any way of fixing this?
Most appreciated
GaryDid you restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
Sounds like you did the former since photos in your iPhone's camera roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with these photos included with your iPhone's backup that were restored from your iPhone's backup, or another problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from your iPhone's backup will restore the problem.
Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
