Photos are appearing as movies on iPhone & ATV, black thumbnails on iPhone crash app

Although my photos in iPhoto appear just fine, they're not all appearing properly on my iPhone 4 or Apple TV.
On the iPhone as I scroll through over 6,000 photo thumbnails, some of them appear as black squares.  When I try to view one the image appears for less than a second then shuts down the Photos app.  When it does appear briefly, it shows a play button in the middle as though it thinks it's a movie.
On Apple TV I can access the photos on my computer provided iTunes is opened and I'm sharing my photos.  When I do this, similarly, the same photos that are giving me problems on my iPhone are doing the same on Apple TV.  This time though the thumbnail also has this play button.  When I choose to view the photo full screen I can see it fine but with the play button on it. When I press select (to "play the movie") I get the error "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later". 
I've had this issue with my iPhone for a very long time.  Through several version of iOS.  I may have even had this problem on my 3GS though I'm not positive.
Earlier today I ran a full iPhoto rebuild.  I've deleted all pics on my iPhone then synced them back over.  I've restarted iPhoto and iTunes. 
OSX - 10.7
iPhone OS - 4.3.5
Apple TV OS - 4.3
iPhoto - 9.1.5
iTunes 10.4

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

    iphone not my photos are appearing in the photo stream and it's all enabled what problem?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

    I'm in iPhone 5.  I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable.  Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles.  The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters.  I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25.  This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.…  Have to open each folder to see which month is in there.  I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past.  How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months??  Thank you.  BC

    I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

  • How to delete photos that appear twice in my iPhone 4 ?

    I want to delete all the double of some photos that appear suddenly in my iphone. I would like to, but it's impossible to delete them because there's not the little image to click on it to delete the photos that I want to delete !
    I also wanna know what do i need to do to make it never happen again (photos that appear twice).
    There are 3 albums in my iPhone that all the photos in the albums cannot be deleted, again because oh the little image to click on it to delete photos that isn't there.
    (sorry for my english I'm french and I'm not bilingual )

    These are photos that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the Tunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. If you transfer one or several photo albums or folders of photos to your iPhone, all photos in the albums or folders of photos are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the albums or folders below Photo Library are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space. The photos in the albums or folders of photos below Photo Library include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder of photos, or you can view all photos transferred from your computer in all albums or folders of photos by selecting Photo Library.

  • My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

    My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

    Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

  • None of my photos are appearing, i only see an exclamation mark when i try to look at a photo, what do i do??

    none of my photos are appearing on iphoto, i only see an exclamation mark when i try to look at them. they were all there one minute and then they disappeared the next, what do i do??

    I rebuilt it using iPhoto Manager and that appears to have worked. I did the rebuild onto a different drive and I'm now working to determine if there is a problem the the external drive that held the corrupted library.

  • My photos are appearing "Last import", "last 12 months" and in my library's "Events", but not in "Photos" in my library.  It's been working just fine up until the past 3 months.  Dates on the photos seem to be correct.

    My photos are appearing in last import, last 12 months and in my events (in library) but not in my photos (in library).  I have never had any problems up until about 3 months ago. Did I change a setting by accident?  I prefer to view my photos in 'photos' as opposed to 'events'.  and btw, all the dates seem to be correct on the past recent months.   

    Post in the iPhoto foum.

  • In photos how do I move new iphone import into an album

    I finally saw my iphone icon when plugged into iMac in new photos app-I had to unplug and replug for it to show up; Now I see the import and can select certain ones and choice to keep or delete button in NEW IMPORT; what I can't find is how to move selected photos from new import into specific album. I tried to highlight and copy, but when go to album there is no PASTE choice.I don't want all pics to go to same album, but selected ones to go to different albums (Yosemite 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0 and iphone6 vs 8.1.3)

    Select the photo and then click on the + sign. That should give you album choices.

  • HT201317 my photo stream photos are not on my new iphone

    I have just been given a new iPhone 5 as my old one had some issues... I ensured that all of my pictures were in my photo stream so that I could automatically bring them onto my new replacement iPhone. I have attempted to look for these however and I can see that none of them have been brought forwards... I am very upset at this as there are alot of photographs which will not be able to be replaced and are of some very personal things. I would genuinely like a way to abtain them from the photostream without having to purchase the new version of iPhoto on my iMac.
    Could you please get back to me with a resolution as soon as possible?
    thanks
    Gary

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.

  • Photos are appearing in Last Import but not in Last 12 months

    When I import photos from my camera into iPhoto they appear under "Events" and "Last Import" but no under Last 12 months.  Is there a way to correct this?
    David

    What are the dates of the photos? Last "n" months is a list of photos taken in the last "n" months irrespective of when they were mported. Typically your question is due to incorrect camera dates
    There was another similar report recently

  • Our photos are not going from the iPhone/iPad to the computer?

    Does the iCloud control panel have to always be logged on? We have two "clouds" to upload from, my husband's and mine. How do we make this work?

    anyone?

  • Deleting photos will not work, and my iPhone crashes

    Please help!
    Every time I attempt to delete a single or multiple photos, the "Photos" app crashes and takes me back to the home screen. If I check to see the results of the action, the photo(s) has not been deleted yet. I need to delete these photos to clear up memory space.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    If this does not resolve, then make an appointment at the genius bar

  • HT201317 My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing my photos to my PC though they appear on both my iPhones. Any ideas why or how to make it work again?

    My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing photos from my iPhone 4s to my PC although they are appearing on my other iPhone. Any ideas why or how to fix the issue? I have not altered any settings.

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Photos on my Mac are not visible on my iPhone despite having enabled iCloud photo library.

    I have iCloud Photo Library enabled on both my mac and my iphone.  I have ~17k photos on my mac - many of which were not taken on my iphone.  All 17k photos have been successfully uploaded to my iCloud Photo library (and are visible on icloud.com).  However, when I open the Photos app on my iphone, instead of being able to access all 17k photos, I can only see the 80 or so that I recently took on my iPhone.  The 80 photos on my phone are being uploaded to the iCloud photo library and are visible from my Mac - just not the other way around.
    I am running iOS 8.3 and the latest Mac OS (which has the new photos app).
    Any help is appreciated!

    Don't know if it will help or not, but you might try going to Control Panel>Programs & Features>Uninstall, then right-click on "iCloud" and choose Repair, restart your PC and try photo stream again.
    Also confirm that the photos are appearing in the my photo stream album on your phone (which will confirm that they are being added to photo stream).
