Pictures App and Large Photos / Large Photo Directories

A problem I've run into from time to time... I have an SLR camera that shoots 18 megapixels. So yes I have some rather large jpg files. Anywhere between 5-9 megs a peice...
I shot my family Christmas and wanted to throw the whole directory onto my Playbook to pass around the following day. However, after transferring the folder, it did not show on the Playbook.
After running them all through a resize tool, the folder shows up...
Is there a maximum image size on the Playbook? Anyone know what the threshold is? Is there somewhere I can report this to be fixed?

The Pictures app builds a thumbnail catalog in the background. It may wait for the thumbnails to be completed before showing the album.
Files & Folders has a thumbnail- & slideshow view which uses the EXIF thumbnails that your camera already embeds in the photo, so that may be a bit quicker. Take the trial version for a spin.
Still, the file- and memory management of a tablet isn't really optimized for this kind of use. Better to split your huge folder into a few smaller ones.

If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
and i hope you understand my problem..
i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

If I upgrade to ios 7 right from my device (not itunes) will I loose my pictures, apps and info

If I upgrade to ios 7 right from my iphone (not through itunes) will my pictures, apps and other info get automatically erased?

It shouldn't, but you should update your iPhone's backup immediately beforehand.
And a good idea to import the photos/videos in the Camera Roll with your computer beforehand to be on the safe side.

My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

TS1369 i lost my pictures, apps and contacts from my i pod

I lost my pictures, apps and contacts from my i pod touch 5th generation. Can I retreive them?

Restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I just had my iphone updated and it removed all of my apps and all of the photos I had taken since my previous update. Can I get those photos back?

I just had my iphone up dated using my little MacBook, it has been a while since I have done so, and it removed all of my apps all of my photos, and blanked out my calendar. Is there a way to get at least the photos? Can someone help me?
Thanks

I had typed out an detailed explanation in response to your question, and when I went to upload it there was an error message,
This is what happened when the phone was syncing. It only allowed the "option" to restore after that. Just like my original message to you, all of it disappeared when trying it resolve and discover what was the error. I had not clicked on either helpful or correct answer and when I explored what they were I got the same result. I am person that uses my apple products in limited ways as I need them. It is this type of frustrating result that keeps my use limited.

I got iphone5 two days ago and had taken some lovely photos. Tonight i tried to sync my ph to get my old contacts and have ended up with all my old contacts and apps and have lost my photos from today. I also have lost the iphone5 apps. Can i get back?

I got the Iphone5 a couple of days ago. Today i tooks some lovely photos and tonight i went through itunes to sync my phone and get my old contacts. In the process i have lost todays photos and the original iphone5 apps. Can i get them back?

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

I have an iPad (retina display), installed 8 and now I am out of usage. It shows I used 12.2 with 0 bytes available. I have deleted most of my pictures, apps and still no luck.

I Have an iPad retina display. It worked great with 7 but I updated to 8.0.2 and now I have usage problems. It shows my usage of being 12.2 and I have 0 bytes available. It seems that this problem occurred after I installed 8. I regret doing that. Is there anything I can do? I have cleared out most of my pictures and apps. I am down to bare bones.

A restart or reset might help. Either turn it off and restart it as stated above. Or give it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot.
Then go into settings,general, usage and see what's taking up the room.

Camera app acting weird - not saving photos - iphone 6 plus

I just got my iphone 6 plus... I'm trying to use the stock camera app and it's acting weird. I'm able to focus and take a photo... after I take a pic, you know how the little thumbnail of that photo appears on the bottom left of the app? You should be able to touch that and then view in full screen your last pic, right? Well here is when it starts acting up... When I touch it, nothing happens! I exit the app and go to the photos app and my picture isn't there! The app doesn't appear to freeze - as I can still view the screen and what the camera is looking at! Before the 1st photo is "taken" I am able to choose between any of the photo types (square, pano, video, slo mo, time lapse)... but the same thing will happen no matter which photo I choose. If I pick a video, the video begins and then the touch part doesn't work... the video will run on 'forever' or until i press the home button - in which case the video isn't saved.
I have restarted my phone many times... and even done the power cycle (where you hold the sleep/lock and home button at same time)
Any ideas? Please help - this is a 2 day old phone and the camera doesn't work properly.
What is really weird is that I can post a photo taken by instagram with no problem.. I can also use the Camera Awesome app but the photos aren't saved in the photos app... even if I try to export to camera roll in camera awesome!
Thanks

Hey Bender1031,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Picture app wont open

its just as the title states, so i was saving a picture from the internet and when it got done i went to the picture app, and it tries to load my pictures folder for about 5 seconds, then it cancels out to the home screen. I have already tried hard resetting 5 or 6 times so my questions are:
A. is my only option a restore?
B. Will the 2.0 upgrade sync back to my ipod after the restore?

First try connecting to your PC, and you may be able to delete the photos as part of the transfer (this can be done with iPhoto on the Mac). Else, you'll need to Restore. Your 2.0 upgrade will be reapplied with the restore (i.e. you won't lose it).
Hope this helps...
