Photos blurred or blacked out

Hi,
Having a bit of a crisis with my iPhone 4, on iOS5
Today I took a series of photos, I think about 30 or so, including some video. I took a mix using the from lock-screen option, and some direct through the photo app. At lunch I took some more photos and noticed that some of the pictures were blacked out in the camera roll thumbnails. I thought this was odd, so restarted the phone, and then saw that all the photos from today were blacked out.
The photos themselves are blacked out too, trying to email them to myself seems to crash the camera roll, or load an email with the blue ? box of a non-image. I've taken a few photos since then, some have worked and stayed in the roll, some have been very blurry, and some have disappeared. I can't even take a screenshot as that dissapears too.
Having done some searches on this, only seen people discussing it with iOS4 or to do with issues after a synch - I've definitely not synched it and it is on 5.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

jon.stokes,
Had a very similar problem.  Mine were either blacked out or heavily pixilated.  I did the following and it worked.  Hope this helps you.

The only thing that I would add is when I first did this, when it said to reset I did a Lock/Home reset.  When I opened photos they were the same and when I opened iExplorer the files were still there.  So I deleted them again and did a soft reset and when my phone came back up I opened my Camera Roll and in about 5 seconds all my photo's were there and you could view them like normal.  Very easy and you do not have to restore your phone!!!

  • Blur or black out portion of video

    Does anyone know how I can blur or black out a portion of an image in a clip? I've got a guy with his company name on the back of his jacket, which he wants to blur out, but the rest of the clip is good. I have no experience with doing this. I am using Final Cut 6. Can someone please help me?
    thanks!

    you can also search the forum for COP BLUR and similar terms, we see the question at least once or twice a week.
    If you need to do this often or with precision or elegance, you probably will want a Cop Blur filter package for Motion. Does anyone have a master list site for all plugins being made for Motion? You may find these helpful

  • Iphoto 11 thumbnails partly blacked out after importing

    My existing library of approximately 12K photos in iPhoto 11 appears fine with no problems.  However, now I find that when I try to import new photos into it,  the thumbnails as well as the imported photos are partly blacked out.  The import process takes longer than it should as well.  The same photos are imported correctly into Lightroom so they are not the problem.  I've rebuilt the library and the thumbnails, but the problem continues.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

  • I can't figure out how to change a color photo to grayscale/black in InDesign so that we can do a separation that keeps the photos only on the black separation.

    Yes, I can view/hide the OSK with no problem but the keyboard, itself, changed somehow.

  • HELP - Photos black out

    I have a job I have to finish soon, and when I play back part of the video with pictures, the picture blacks out completely, and when it gets the transition, you see the photo for a split-second, and then the next photo is completely normal. This happened to around 5 photos, the problem is, is that it keeps happening! I am able to take the opacity to zero on the problematic photos and bring it back to 100%, and re-render, and it usually works. Any way to REALLY fix it?
    I have a similar problem. Sometimes in between transitions the photo blinks really fast while in the middle of the transition. I mostly see black.
    Thanks!

    Color Model: RGB
    Depth: 8
    DPI Height: 144
    DPI Width: 144
    Orientation: 1 (Normal)
    Pixel Height: 1536
    Pixel Width: 2048
    Profile Name: Camera RGB Profile
    I applied the Dip to Color Dissolve, on the photo before and going into the next photo. The photo that comes second in the timeline, blinks twice. This keeps happening to various photos. The photos that they happened to were either scanned or taken by a digital camera. Do you think I should call Apple regarding this.
    Btw, I have an 8 Core Mac Pro, with 2 GB of Ram and my mac goes really slow when I am using Motion and Final Cut Studio simultaneously. I'm going to purchase more ram. I'm wondering if it makes a difference if I'm using an additional 2 GB of Ram or 8GB. Will I notice the difference?
    Thanks

  • Legal requirement to black out eyes of images of people on web site

    A new web site which encourages people to report bad situations and other crappy aspects of modern life has a legal requirement that any photos of people posting or alleged bad guys have their eyes blacked out.
    I understand that TV stations use AVID for blurring, and that Photoshop could easily be  used for a quick mask in a less dynamic environment, but is there a proven technique that be implemented in a web site? They have a fifteen minute posting lag time for editing out unacceptable material, ideally, but they may have to use a twice a day posting.

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Screen blacks out after a few seconds and won't return to normal state.

    I have the 30 gig ipod photo that i got about a year and a half ago. Whenever I look at the screen to access music or anything, the screen blacks out like there's a screensaver or something and won't return back to normal. Even after I reset it, it stays normal for a few seconds and then blacks out again. The backlighting still works so it's just a bright black screen and I have function of the click wheel because it clicks everytime I move up or down. I already tried restoring it so I am all out of options. Anyone PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks
    Steve

    This happens rarely but consistently! I't seems to happen about 5% of the time waking from sleep. It MAY be more prone to happen if I had been moving with it in my bag, but it can happen at any waking time after any duration of sleep.

  • My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... New one?

    My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... Is it damaged and should I try to get a new one?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • Black-out glitches

    Every time I watch a TV show or movie off AppleTV, I get black-out glitches for about the first 30 minutes. These are 1-second episodes where the screen goes black, then the show comes back. If I reverse, I can see what I missed, but the black-outs occur in different spots. After about 30 minutes, this quirk stops.
    I noticed that it also happens when the unit is turned on, with just the screen saver on. It also happens with music videos and photo slide shows. I've tried everything--moving the unit, resetting, unplugging, turning it off between uses, leaving it on between uses. Any suggestions?

    I assume you have tried swapping the resolution (what res are you using) ?
    You are obviously have significantly more patience than I, I doubt I could live with this behavior. If you want to find the source of your issue I suspect you will need to do a little troubleshooting yourself:
    I believe you can safely rule out anything to do with your PC/mac, itunes, your router or your network, if you wanted to check this you could always pull the network (either power down your router or pull the ethernet from the tv) and see if the problem persists.
    This leaves you with the tv, the tv and the connecting cables as the possible source of the blackouts.
    Swapping out the cable would easily eliminate the cabling, but not everyone has a spare HDMI cable and I wouldn't recommend buying a cheap cable to try this, cheap cables themselves are the source of a high number of problems.
    You could move the tv to another tv if you have one with HDMI or even take it to a friends residence to try (you won't need anything but the tv, so no worries about having no mac/PC or network)
    Once you have isolated the source of the problem, you will have to decide what to do. A faulty cable will need replacing, so will a faulty tv, but you will be able to do that under warranty. If it's down to the tv, then your choices might not be as straight forward. On the topic of tv's, I have noted several issues arising with Samsung tv's and indeed I have an LG tv that develops a sound issue when used with the tv, fortunately this happens about once every 6 weeks and is resolved by restarting the LG tv.

  • Preview clips blacked out in imovie/desktop prefs after 10.4 upgrade

    I recently upgraded to tiger 10.4 and when i open sys prefs/desktop/iphoto folder all of my images come up black squares. The same thing happens when I open imovie and want to access photo clips. The file names appear but images are blacked out. Any idea how to fix this?

    The server slowly ground to a halt overnight, so we had no choice but to format and install fresh. It was a nightmare, but thankfully, it's over.

  • Photo Booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    Photo booth became black screen after Newpad updated to iOS 7

    It is not a widespread issue that requires apple to come out with a fix, I have many ipads that were updated and have no issues.
    I would suggest you back-up and restore your device, that can repair many issues if the original update was corrupted.

  • Flip Transition in IPhoto Blacks out

    when i put random transitions and convert the photos into a slide show, all of the "flip" transitions black out just prior to the the next photo. how can i fix that. I just purchased and reinstalled the ILife '06 thinking this would fix it, but it hasn't.

    WuD:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto application with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the applicaion or just drag the application into that field.
    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.

  • Photoshop Creative Cloud flickers and blacks out

    I posted this in the Creative Cloud forum, but was told to post it here.   I am sure it is only a Photoshop Creative Cloud problem.
    I am using Photoshop Creative Cloud, on trial.  I have been using Photoshop, desktop version, for 20 years. Never saw this problem on it.
    PS CC flickers and blacks out.  Many times, many different files, many different actions cause this.    Right now, I am editing a photo, and using the Magic Wand tool to select areas that I will remove from photo.   PS CC is flickering on my screen, on/off.    Sometimes it goes completely black.
    I can see the menus, but the image itself is flickering on/off.  Mostly off.
    Thanks

    Yes flecking is a common problem.  If happen for many bugs. That is why I posted the search instead of trying to answer your question for you posted little information bout your problem.  In the guidelines you will see
    =============================
    Supply pertinent information for quicker answers
    The more information you supply about your situation, the better equipped other community members will be to answer. Consider including the following in your question:
    Adobe product and version number
    Operating system and version number
    The full text of any error message(s)
    What you were doing when the problem occurred
    Screenshots of the problem
    Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.
    =================================================
    Information like that help to identify if you have a known problem from what your using and help pinpoint where the problem may be .   Even if you have the latest OS it its updates. The latest video driver and the latest Photoshop update does not mean you will not have any software and hardware bugs. Just because there have be problem reported about flecking in Photoshop in all supported Platforms OS versions  does not mean that there is a single common problem in Photoshop.  All it means is that flickering is a common side effect caused by bugs.

  • LR3 Blacks out corners in UWA Lens Profile Corrections

    Hello all,
    I am fairly new at all this, so please forgive me if this question is ridiculous, but I cannot seem to get to the bottom of a particular issue. I recently went on a trip with a new Nikon D7000 and Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6. Most of the pictures (all RAW) with the Sigma turned out great. LR3 properly applied the automatic lens profile adjustment for those shots and ironed out most of the distortion. However, one photo turned out very weird. It looked like I shot through a tube, the extreme corners were totally blacked out (think 100% vignetting).
    I thought this was weird, especially because it looked ok on the back of the camera. Sure enough, it was perfect when I opened the RAW with the Nikon software (and on the back of the camera) no blacked out corners. Confused, I turned off the auto profile adjustment for the lens on that image and the corners immediately came back. Its an artsy shot, so I am not too concerned about the loss of lens correction, but now I am concerned that some random image will show this problem down the road. I have attached a picture of the jpeg exhibiting the problem, and a link to the RAW so you can try to replicate it. I tried OTHER lens correction profiles and they all worked fine (no blacked corners). Any idea what might be causing this?
    Thanks in advance
