Photos are corrupted on iphone.

i recently replaced my iphone. restore seems to have gone smoothly except that my photo folders are corrupted. the camera roll and photo stream folders seem ok; all others behave as follows: i open the folder, select a thumbnail, and the photo that is opened is not the one in the thumbnail. this happens with all of the photos.

If these photos are in your iPhone's Photo Library, they were transferred from your computer, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Try deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by a sync which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and make your selections below followed by a sync to re-transfer the photos to your iPhone.
If no change after this, the next step is targeting what is called the iPod Photo Cache for these photos on your computer.

Photos are corrupted!

I am trying to upload photos from my iPod Touch 5 to iPhoto on my Mac. Some of them are corrupted and will not upload. One thing I am being told is that the file is "too large". I'm also being told they are "unreadable". The names for these files are huge and nonsensicle. I am thinking maybe the photos intermingled with each other somehow?
OK... as I am trying to get this to work... some of them are suddenly uploading. This makes no sense! Anyone got any idea what is going on or how to fix this? Is my camera just plain broken??

All of my music and photos are on my iphone. I want to transfer them to my new PC. How do I do it?

My old PC crashed. All of my songs and photos are on my iphone. I want to transfer my (1) photos to my new computer, and (2) my 2800 songs (only 300 or so of which I purchased through iTunes) to iTunes on my new PC. I have tried everyhting! I can see the about 300 songs (must be the ones I purchased on iTunes) in iTunes on my new PC. I can see the other 2500 songs in iTunes on my new PC, but they are in gray font and I can't play them. I need to clean songs and photos off of my iphone ASAP because it is full and doesn't work well, but I don't want to do so if there is a risk that I will loose them or have to reload 300 music CDs to my new computer.

IPhone now displays photo's as grey "JPG" box, but photos are corrupted.

Maybe someone can help me here.
After the update to the 5.1 iOS, my 32GB iPhone 4S is now displaying some pictures in my Camera Roll as grey boxes with "JPG" in the middle. When you select the photo, it brings up a larger version of the grey box showing the "JPG" in the middle.
I've tried to delete the photos and re-sync my phone, but each time - more pictures seem to be showing up like this. Can someone shed some light on this? Or is this a known issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :/

I have a solution.
I had the same problem on my new iPhone 5S (iOS 7.0.3). Some photos are shown only as grey screen with characters "JPG" in center, even though those photos look fine on iPhoto 11 (ver 9.4.3)
It turned out that I had to rebuild the iPhoto Library entirely. To do it, press Command + Option while opening iPhoto and hold them until you see a dialog. The forth choice "Rebuild Database" was the right one for me. After the rebuild, connect iPhone to iTunes and sync the photos. You might have to delete all the photos first to put the fresh copy from the new library.
Hope this helps.

Only scanned photos are corrupted/gone

I've just discovered that most of the photos I've scanned into iPhoto have disappeared, although I still do see the lovely grey "corrupted" box where the pictures used to be. I've checked the Originals folder and the scanned photos are completely gone, not just corrupted. (I had noticed that the thumbnails for the most recently scanned photos starting about a month ago had a blank white line through them, but the line didn't appear when the photo is enlarged or printed.) All other non-scanned photos appear to be there.
Questions:
- Is this possibly a problem with the Lexmark printer/iPhoto? Photos used to scan well - no problems - until they disappeared. The ones that disappeared were 6 months - 2 years old.
- Will rebuilding the iPhoto library help in this case? Is it possible that the photos are still hiding somewhere and will be picked up again, even though I can't see them in the Originals folder?
Coincidentally, the same thing just happened to my parent's computer (version 10.3.8; I'm 10.4.8) which is what sent me looking for my photos. Did something happen in the last software update to mess things up?

Tiggle:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you at version 6.0.5 and, if so, did this start after upgrading to iPhoto 6.0.5? If so you may be experiencing the color profile problem, i.e no color profile or a damaged profile.
So try the following:
1 - download the "Embed sRGB Profile" Automator application from Toad's Cellar.
2 - locate one of the bad files in the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and drop onto the Automator workflow to embed the sRGB profile.
3 - check to see if that file is now viewable in iPhoto.
If that corrects the problem you can repeat the process for each file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

GPS EXIF data removed when photos are synced to iPhone?

I have manually added GPS EXIF metadata to photos that were taken by an old camera.
After I synced these photos with iTunes for Win 11.3 to my iPhone all location data was gone.
Is this a known issue?
Your help is much appreciated!

Nobody knows the answer? Yours was the third question like this I found by searching, yet none have been answered. I get the same results using Picasa. Once the photos are synced back to the iPhone, orientation is lost. Friends looking at the pictures on my iPhone have to keep rotating the device, cocking their head, or both. Some advanced device, that is!

Raw photos are corrupted on import

some of my raw photos are coming in completely corrupted
the original files in aperture are fine and have a backup elsewhere but am wondering if there's anything that can be done to prevent the problem?

There are so many possible problems here, that we'll need much more information.
1. What camera? What file type? Is the camera fully supported?
2. How are you importing? Direct from the Camera? Via a USB Card Reader?
3. What's the nature of the corruption? What's the difference between the corruption in Aperture and the problem in iPhoto?
Any more info you can add will help.

Mac Mail- all incoming photos are corrupted- but only on my MBP, not my iphone. Any ideas?

Hi,
My Mac Mail is driving me bonkers!
For the last week or so, it's been extremely erratic on my Macbook Pro (seems fine on my phone). First it dumped all of my sent messages- then it gradually loaded them all up again, over the course of a couple of hours.
Then it dumped three year's worth of messages from my inbox, slowly adding them back in again over the next couple of days (this still seems to be happening in some form or other in that my mail activity frequently tells me that 800 emails (for example) are downloading.
Most irritating of all, I can't receive any images without them being corrupted. They're fine on my phone- this is definitely a MBP only problem.
I've not changed anything recently- and my phone is still running iOS 6.1.3
Any ideas?

I switched around 9 years ago. Second Mac, first problem I've ever really had in all that time. It dumped another 30,000 emails this morning- including ones that I need to work with right now. Still receiving garbled images.
Went to schedule a call with Apple- see if they can shed any light on it. Going to get back to me in 6 days. Brilliant.
It's just not good enough. This isn't what I'm paying for.

Some photos are missing on IPhone 6

I reset my iphone 6 and restored the backup from my iphone 5s. A problem appeared in some photos, whereas their space in Collections is still there, their location is still saved but the photos do not show!
Any explanation or possibility of recovery?

Found this bad news re Snow Leopad and latest IOS/iTunes for iPad and iPhone:

Has anyone figured out the server and settings to sync a Snow Leopard address book via iCloud? (I'm in the awkard position of having one computer that cannot use Lion, but everything else can use Lion or iOS 5.)
A number of people have reported trying and failing as Apple haven't published a method and apparently the URL needs to include a unique identifier for each user. I've not seen any report of anyone getting round this though of course that doesn't mean that it hasn't been achieved by someone.

No, it is not possible to sync the address book of any two Mac OS X computers using iTunes. You asked for a solution to sync between your macBook and iPhone 4.

The same photos are transferring from iphone 3gs to computer with every sync

I have a bunch of photos & videos that transfer to my computer with every sync. How can I get only the new photos to sync?

On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can. I can play my music on my iphone but not through my mac because it says it cant locate the file/original and my photos are on my computer but when i double click to open them they come up with an ! however some of the photos are on my iphone but just the ones i took using the camera function. Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

Most Iphone photos are cut off when using any app (ie CVS, Shutterfly etc). Is there any way to prevent this?

From what I've read cut off photos are due to iPhone not being 3:2 ratio, but what can I do to fix this? I take all of my photos on my iPhone and printing them out is ALWAYS a disappointment and I feel like my pictures are useless.

If you go to Walmart they have a specific app to print your photos from your iPhone.
Also with other stores they have good systems to print out photos from smart phones and iPhones now a days. And yes by official kiosk I meant any store with a photo printing machine, because if you print at home, size adjustments and all that are very complicated...unless you are like a professional perhaps...

I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
Please help! Thanks.

Geoff for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
A couple possibilities are that:
1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

An error occured while transferring files, now all of my photos/videos are corrupted

Ok, so this is a strange situation, so bear with me. I was transferring some files from my iphone to my harddrive yesterday. And then I got an error message saying that some of the files didnt transfer for whatever reason. I didn't think much of it, cause these were older files anyway. But then I looked, and all of my more recent files (everything from December 23-Now) got corrupt. This is strange, because the files that I was transferring were from before December 23, so they weren't overlapping at all.
Anyway, I don't even know where to begin, because I really don't know what this is. Here's a picture of what I'm dealing with.
As you can probably tell, something weird is happening, since I do not have 4 million photos. (But I do have 286 videos). When I try to play a video, it says "the requested URL was not found on this server".
When I connect this to image capture, it shows the files as such:
So some of the information is still there, which is strange. I've also tried backing up from the backup that I made right before this error occured, and it appears that the files are corrupt within the backup too. So I have corrupt files on my phone, as well as corrupt files on my computer. I went to my MobileSync folder and found the backup, and tried changing some of the files to .mov files, and this allowed some of them to turn into video files, but they appear to be corrupt.
So basically, what are my best options? Is there any way I can salvage these videos? Is there an app that can export these videos, and then repair them? I'm pretty much really lost here, and going to the genius bar was no help.
