Photos won't show up in my Camera Roll

I've had the 16GB 3G camera or a little over a year now (I think lol whenever it came out was when I bought it) and now whenever I take a photo, or edit one in an app, it saves the photo to the camera roll, but won't show up. It will take a photo, and when I look for it in the camera roll, it isn't there. BUT when I sync it to my computer, and import them, they show up there. I have tried restarting, and shutting down, and even backed up my iPhone today which took over an hour. I have lots of room left on my iPhone, so idk why it's not working. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is some info that might help.
(you can also use an App caleed 'FileAid')
If you have a finder-app on your phone you may navigate to the folder that stores the images(DCIM). Inside this folder there is a hidden folder called .MISC and inside this folder there’s a file called info.plist. This is the file that determines the filenames given to the photos and by deleting the whole .MISC folder you may solve your problem.
The system will generate a new folder upon next image taken and name this IMG_0001.JPG
I tried several ways and they did not work, but erasing everything in DCIM sub folders (MISC and 100apple) like Harry D said above helped me solve the problem.
Simple fix for those withOUT jailbreak.
1. Buy Phoneview - useful for a LOT of things actually, like backing up SMS, etc.
2. Open iphone,
3. Click on Settings
4. Select “Open Entire Disk”
5. Find MISC folder on file tree
6. Highlight and delete
7. Done!

  • How do I delete two "Albums"?  I deleted the photos but they show up anyway as camera roll on the Wallpaper.  Also I get no camera icon when I push the home button twice I get a Picture Frame icon that open the two photos that I deleted.

    I bought "slightly used 64 Gig iPad.  Works fine but somehow I still have two alburms in iPhoto.  I fooled around and took two photos, deleted them and now One is still in Camera Roll and other is in Edited album.  I have deleted the one photos I had in each and they show empty .  However the photos are still coming up as Wallpaper.  Also I do not have camera icon in bottom right corner.  I have a Picture frame that still brings up the two pictures I deleted.  I tapped the screen and nothing changes it all stays blank except for two pictures.  How do I get rid of them and get back to normal.
    Thanks,
    Theolddog

    Sorry Guys, I just found the "reset button" and reset all.  Everything is back to where it supposed to be and normal.  I had been trying for two days to fix and I was freaking out nothing was working.  Sorry, I now know betteer.  Thanks, Theolddog

  • I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me. They show up in the camera roll and then I put them in separate albums. My camera roll when I try to open it freezes and the thumbprints are a jumbled and blurred. This is on my ipad.

    I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me on my ipad. They show up in the camera roll, but when I open the camera roll the thumbprints are jumbled and blurred and frozen. I can't get out of there unless I shut my ipad down and restart it. I can use other parts of my ipad ,but my camera roll remains frozen....help!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I took a picture using camera plus app and the photo shows up in my camera roll; however, when I tap to view it a gray box shown instead. I tried to download the image and only the gray box shows. Can anyone help me?

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • Why aren't photos in iPhoto photo library showing up in iPhoto camera roll?

    Hi,
    I downloaded all the photos on my Camera Roll on my iPhone into my AirBook computer because when I went to take a photo today with my iPhone it told me I had no space left.  But, now there are 300 photos in Photo Library that never showed up in Camera Roll and I can't download into my AirBook.  Those photos are just sitting in Photo Library in my phone.  How do I download them into my AirBook AND why did they not show up in the Camera Roll on my iPhone?
    Thanks!
    Caitlin

    The photos are likely already on your MacBook Air in the iPhoto app there, which I assume you probably have.
    iPhoto on your Mac houses the photo library.
    Photos do not transfer to the Camera Roll on your iPhone (with very few exceptions).  They get transferred from the Camera Roll to your photo library.  You can then clean them off the Camera Roll.
    When you sync the iPhone using iTunes, you can instruct iTunes how to sync your photos.  If, for example, you do not want all the photos in the photo library on your iPhone, that is how to keep them on your computer but not your iPhone.

  • Photos in the Collection but not in Camera roll

    Over the weekend, I took a lot of photos but they didnt show up in the Camera roll. I can only find them in the Collection photos area. When I plug my phone to my laptop, it synced all the photos. The videos that I took showed up in the Videos album just find. In the Camera Roll album, a lot of the photos that I've taken within the last couple of weeks were deleted (but they are still in the Collection). The weird thing is the photos that I deleted is now in Camera roll.

    Hi MonteLucas,
    If you are having issues with pictures not showing in Camera Roll even after restarting the iPhone you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

    Hi all.  Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match.  I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream.  Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought).  But it was not there.  In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos.  Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll.  I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review.  I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll.  I edited the photo.  I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll.  So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning.  The edited version of the photo was gone.  Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp.  Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
    PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED!   This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups.   So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011)  and backed up my photos.  I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos.  I have it set to Download and Keep Originals.  It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
    WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied.  At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network.  I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
    Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos.  I am extremely confused.  This is a mess.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated! 

    I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

  • Why does my camera roll use 10GB of my space, when I only have 508 photo's and video's on my camera roll?

    I have some problems with the space on my Iphone 4s. I always get a message that says that I can't rec or can't take another picture because I don't have enough space on my phone. When I go to settings and check, my photo's and video's use almost 10GB (9,8GB). I have 407 pictures and 101 video's (not very long videos, more like short but many). In total i have 508 photo's and video's in my camera roll. My friends have like over a thousand pictures and video's, but they haven't used like 10GB of their space. So why does my 508 picutures and videos use som much more space??

    Videos add up fast.  A 30 second video on a 4S could easily be 85 MB.  101 of these would be almost 8.6 GB.  Add 407 photos at 3 MB each and you reach 9.8 GB.
    I would suggest you import some of these to your computer (especially some of the vidoes) and delete them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Is there a way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll?

    Is there any way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll? I used my iPhone for a camera and put pix on iPad through photo stream. But I didn't realize they were not on the iPad camera roll, and deleted them from the phone Photostream. Now they are gone. Any chance to find them in the cloud?

    No, there is no re-cycling bin on the iPad. If you deleted them from the card, and you havn't yet re-used the card, then there may be recovery software that you can get for your computer that might be able to get them back.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • HT201302 I Have imported to iphoto. However, now when i try to sync to itunes it says my memory is maxed out with photos, but there is nothing in my camera roll. how do i fix this?

    I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Photos won't show up in camera role & forever backups. Please help!

    This has been going on for 3 months now and its really becoming a pain. The problem in itself is now a giant conundrum where I can't find a possible fix so here it goes!
    It all started when I noticed that when I took a photo with the built in camera it would save it to the thumbnail but when you go to view it, it would not be in the camera role, though they all show up in iPhoto just fine . I understand that this is a problem had by many and its nothing new, and there are ways of fixing it but below is where the problem gets tricky.
    As soon as I connect my iphone to the computer to sync the phone in order to find the BAD CACHE or whatever, The device goes into "backing up iPhone" mode (even after I've checked the manually manage music & video's box") This would be no problem if it would actually back something up but it dosen't. One time I actually left it alone to backup over night after it had already taken 4 hours of of my time sitting there watching the endless loading lines pass (it didn't even get to the part with the solid bar that shows progress) I checked it the next morning and it was still loading. After 13 hours for a single backup I called it quits and gave up. I've tried many times after hoping that it might fix itself, but each time it gets stuck in the "backing up" phase.
    I know you can just restore it to factory settings for problems like this, but I can't, without losing all the stuff I've purchased that I can't sync to the computer because of the backup problem.
    Can someone please walk me through a fix (where to look for the bad info caches or something) that dosen't include losing everything via a reset. I'm at my wits end with this problem and would really love if someone could help.
    FYI, My phone is a 3GS and I have NOT updated, mostly because I can't. The software I believe is from the 3.0- 3.0-1 (I'm not sure which) It was the software that came with the phone that purchased back in August 09.
    3GS

    1) Turn off auto sync: go to itunes, Edit, Preferences, Devices, "Prevent syncing of...."
    2) At the same place, youll see a list of all the backups. You can highlight and delete the ones you think are bad.
    For the camera roll photos, you need to upload them from the iphone camera roll with iphoto (not a sync) as you would a digital camera, but turn off autossync first.
    Once you have everything organized, you can try a restore and sync (in that order). But all your content must be on the itunes-equipped computer first.

  • Photos won't show in Finder

    I have a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina using Yosemite.
    In Finder, under pictures, my iPhoto library won't show pictures. It says there's 12GB of photos, but it won't show the photos. When I click on the iPhoto Library, it will open the iPhoto app and the photos will show, but again, it won't show pictures in Finder. I use to be able to see my photos in Finder.
    It all started when I went to System Preferences and started clicking things under the Sharing tab.
    After this, I noticed I wasn't able to see my photos in Finder. I followed another thread that said to: press control and click on iPhoto library, then click on Show Package Contents, then click on Original folder; however, when I did went through this process, I didn't have a folder that said Original, so I don't know what to do. Please Help me!!

    What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
