Photo and video problem

Hi first post, just got a Z1 and loving it but I am having trouble viewing photos and videos. When taking a photo it shows it has taken on the camera screen but when you view in the album it is a black picture with a mountain on it.
Also when I take any video it shows the play symbol on the album page but when you press play it says "cannot play video" what am I doing wrong?
I wanted this phone for the good camera but at the minute i have to still use my xperia S. I need help as I am going on holiday and wanted the Z1.
Thanks
Stu

I was just looking to see if there was any problems and came across this which sounds like the same problem, or am I wrong, sorry but I'm not that technically minded on these things.
I also saw there was a new update (kit kat 4.4.4) but it says my phone is up to date, do you have to wait until Sony sends it out?

Ipod Photo and Video Problems

my Ipod 5th generation recently got the IOS 8 update. Don't get my wrong i love it but it's deleting my pictures as I get more. It's driving me insane. It's deleted my pictures from the time I got it (March 25ish) to about 3 weeks ago. i went from a bout 800 videos and photos combined to not even 85 photos and video combined. Fix this!!!!!

Try restoring from backup.

80GB Classic with music, photo, and video problems

I have had a number of problems since getting my 80gb iPod classic.
1. Music: I keep finding songs that play perfectly in iTunes, but then stop a few seconds into the song when I play them back on the iPod. The first time this happened, I had to delete the song from iTunes and then rip it back into iTunes from the CD to get it to work. The other songs I haven’t tried to fix yet, but, so far, they are all from CD’s and not downloaded MP3’s. I also noticed that they were all ripped from the CD using an older version of iTunes.
2. Photos: Very few of the photos I tried to download to the iPod were transferred. I got a message saying they would not work on iPod, but no reason why. They are just simple .jpg files from my camera (Canon Powershot S3 IS). Most of the photos that did get transferred were corrupt. The pictures were all broken up and colors were switched around. I tried changing them to .bmp files and also changing the size to 640x480, and that helped some of them, but not all. The only pictures that worked flawlessly were not photos, they were cartoons.
3. Video: I have a number of QuickTime videos that work fine in iTunes until I convert them to iPod files. Most of the converted videos showed a blank white screen in thumbnail form in iTunes. When I play them, iTunes only displays a couple of frames, and the sound stutters. They all transferred to the iPod, but every time I tried to play one, the video would crash and the iPod would reset itself.
I’m thinking about exchanging my iPod for a new one, but I’m afraid that all of the problems are iTunes or Windows Vista related, and I might end up trading a good iPod for a defective one with the same software problems.

I did find that if I saved all of my photos as bitmaps, resized them to 640x480, and got rid of the dashes in the filenames, that they would work.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

I updated my software last night and when I came back to the computer its says there was a problem and I need to restore factory settings. How do I get my photos and videos off the phone

I plugged in my phone to update to the latest software. After a while, I went back to the PC and it said there had been a problem and that I needed to restore the factory settings.
I am worried that I will lose all the photos and videos that I have on the phone. How do I get them off.
When I now plug the phone it the screen looks like when you first get it - i.e. itunes logo and asking me to plug in.

If the device has been used as designed, the pics and via taken with the device would have regularly been copied off to a computer.
The first step in the update process via iTunes on the computer is a backup.
Restore the device from the most recent backup.
If data is lost, then it is merely the fault of the user for not backing up the device or saving their data regularly.
Once the device is in recovery mode, the ONLY option is to restore.

Problems with messages, Photos and videos in my N8...

I have a weird problem , and I think it's widely spread among the N82 users . The problem is that after using the phone for a while , I find my very first captured photos and videos are gone !
Some said it could be the memory card, and that I have to get a better quailty card . And what about the disapperaing messages ? should I get a better phone memory quailty as well ? :s
The phone just erases messages randomly ... and for the photos and the videos , it erases the 1st three or four captured photos and the same for videos !
Please help my guys .. I need it desperately
P.S: I've upgraded from V20 to the latest firmware V30 and still the problem exists . I save the messages on phone memory and the photos and videos on the memory card . any help would be appreciated . Thanks ...

I checked the messages storage , it's the phone memory ... and for the memory card , no brand name is written on it .. just "MicroSD 2GB" and that's it ...
The memory card came inside the phone ... and i bought this phone from a Mall in Egypt .. and Nokia care won't do anything for me ... cause GPS enabled phones are not allowed in Egypt .. due to some security issues . so Nokia care won't support my N82 in here ...

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Problem with IOS 6 on iPhone 4S photos and video camera.

After the upgrade IOS 6 on iPhone 4S - no longer take photos and video camera. What to do? Reinstall ios6 again - nothing has changed. Help please.

Since iOS 6, I can't get any barcode scanners to focus on my 4s. This includes the stock scanner from Apple. Tap to focus does nothing.

Backup Problems - Lost photos and videos

I have just taken delivery of the 4G and it doesn't seem to have picked up on the "Camera Roll" photos and videos that I had with the 3GS. I made sure to back up the old phone before retoring it to factory settings (I have sold it).
When I tested it to make sure that all my info was off the old phone iTunes was still showing it as my account. So, probably stupidly, I logged out of my account, renamed the phone and restored it again. This didn't help but I think it may have "lost" the photos and videos that I had previously.
I have looked on the laptop for the files to try and restore them manually but without luck. Can you tell me where they may be and how I might recover them?

The camera roll (photos taken by the iphone or ipod screen snaps) are not backed up with a sync. They must be extracted from the iphone3G prior to restoring it using iphoto(mac) or a digital camera wizard(windows).

I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
Here is my setup: I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
So here is what I am trying to achieve: I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days. I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things.
My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders. If that were the worst of it, I might be ok. But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored. They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds. I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
Is there anyone at all who can help with this? The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it. Please, please help if you can. I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

Hi KDT
Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details. AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
Hope this helps.

Downloading iPhone 3GS photos and Videos to other computers

I recently got my first iPhone and am still finding out how to do things, so, apologies if this sounds dim but....
How do I download photos and videos from my iPhone 3GS to other computers?
I can plug in to my mac and sync everything with iTunes - no problem
I can plug into a PC and open up the iPhone files and copy across to the PC- no problem
BUT
If I plug a mac other than my own it just opens up iTunes. How can I copy a photo onto this mac without syncing the whole thing?
Thanks in anticipation.
Rob

When iTunes opens up, just close it down, because you do not want to sync with any computer other than the computer you normally sync with. Then launch iPhoto & you can then import the photos/videos in your camera roll. Photos/videos synced to your phone cannot be imported to any other computer.

Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

Moving photos and videos from iPhone, to iPhoto, to external harddrive. Videos come out to be less than 0 seconds. HELP, PLEASE!

Hi guys! This is my first discussion and I'm not exactly sure what kind of details to put, so I'll just be as detailed as possible. I hope I don't confuse anyone. I really REALLY need help!
I've got a 16 GB iPhone 4S and always find myself filling up my phone with photos and videos, so I upload both onto my MacBook Pro 2011. Now that my laptop's getting full... I'm uploading all of those backed up photos and videos onto a 500 GB Seagate external harddrive.
All of my photos open just fine. It's the videos that I'm worried about. All of the videos that I've loaded from last year (2013) are playing well. Anything before 2013 aren't opening properly. I'm opening the video files directly from my external harddrive. It goes:
     1) Opens up QuickTime Player
     2) Shows that it's converting
     3) Shows a frame from the video, but the time says 0:00-0:00.
I had a LOT of videos from before 2013 and would like to retrieve them if possible. They're no longer on my laptop though. All of the video files are 20 KB - 980 KB and has to convert on quicktime player for me to watch them. Some of the video files I've tried out were from 2013 and 24 KB and opened just fine. I've opened both ~20KB - ~900 KB video files before 2013 and they're all 0:00-0:00 time length. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

I have the same issue. We've lost all of our older videos including videos of our children and since passed family dog. I have no idea why this has happened. I have backed up religiously, but now even the archived photos are 0 seconds. So frustrated with iPhoto. This is the second time this awful software mysteriously lost pictures or videos. Last time it was the birth pictures of my second daughter. And now this. Horrible horrible product.
Older videos are all now just 0:00:00 in length. We did not alter these at all!!
HELP!!
