Pictures not being saved to camera roll (or anywhere)

Hi all,
I was recently having some issues with sending/receiving data over 3G on my iP4. To try & resolve this, I did a clean restore of my phone. Since then, I have been unable to save any images from the camera (or email, mms etc) to my phone.
Initially after the restore, I synced my old pictures across to create a photo library. When taking new pictures they would not save to the camera roll, but a small image was shown at the bottom-left of the camera screen (but again, when clicking on this it would tell me there were no pics).
Also, the video function is now no longer working at all. It will open the video option, allow me to press the record button, but doesn't actually begin to records & greys out/freezes the camera roll icon, record/stop button & camera/video toggle button.
I have tried restarts etc, but nothing has seemed to work so far. I'm DESPERATE to resolve this by Friday as I'm going to see my newborn son for the first time & this is my only 'camera'.
ANY help/advice is MUCH appreciated!!!
Steve

Well here is one option: make a new backup, then in itunes select Restore all over again which will install clean os. Once thats done, you can just activate phone with new temporary name & launch Camera app to see if its all fine & dandy. If it is then you can do a Restore from Backup: right click on phone in itunes & select 'Restore from Backup.'
Do any images show up in like iPhoto or Image Capture or Aperture desktop apps? The images might be there, just not showing up or something. With everyone downloading update it might take longer than usual, might want to wait for a less busy time to reinstall os? Just a thought.

  • Pictures not always uploaded from Camera Roll to Photo Stream

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a "not so constant" behavior of Photo Stream.
    I noticed that sometimes not all the photos taken with the IPhone are uploaded to Photo Stream. Given that this upload may be poosible only if the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, is there a way to force the synch between Camera Roll and Photo Stream?
    Thanks.

    Well, last night I tried to:
    disable Photo Stream in iCloud settings on the iPhone
    "delete" the whole iCoud account on the iPhone and then log in again
    reset Photo Stream in the advanced options of my account on icloud.com
    This caused all the pictures of the iPhone Photo Stream gallery and on iCloud.com to be deleted, so I restarted from a clean condition. Then I took three photos, but only the second and the third were uploaded to Photo Stream on iCloud, to the Photo Stream gallery of the iPhone and subsequently downloaded to the Photo Stream folder of my PC.
    Still puzzled...

  • IOS 7 Picture not filling screen in Camera Roll

    I recently updated to the iOS 7 on my iPhone 5. I went to check out the camera roll to view my photos, and I noticed when I have a photo up, there's two black horizontal bars, one at the top and one at the bottom of my photo. Previously on iOS6, the picture would fill up the whole screen instead of having this small picture like I do now.
    Anyone know the best way to go about fixing this?

    I'd like to know this too.
    "Select All" and "Select Multiple" were invented in the 1980s.
    It's hard to believe that, in the 21st century, we're tapping individual items one at a time, or connecting to additional devices in order to delete multiple items.
    It's a massive usability kludge.

  • Transfer Pictures from Imported Album to Camera Roll

    How much ever i search the net i havent found an answer for this problem. I seem to fall in to a vicious cycle of coming back to square one. Please help me with the following question please.
    1). I am using ipad with camera connection kit for transferring pictures to my ipad.
    2) i have dropbox and MSN Onedrive for storing pictures.
    3) both dropbox and onedrive sync pictures only from camera roll ignoring the other pictures which are vital too.
    4) all the wifi transfer photosync and a core or free aps available in the appstore ddint solve my problem.
    Is there a way to transfer the pics to camera roll without going through a tedious process? Why cant there be a simpler solution?
    Only when i transferthe pics to camera roll that i can sync them wi either dropbox or onedrive.
    PLEASE SUGGEST AN IDEA
    thank you in advance.

    While using Camera Connection Kit to transfer pictures from Memory Card to Ipad the pictures in the memory card gets saved to a separate folder called "Imported Pictures" instead of saving to Camera Roll of Ipad which is the default sync folder for dropbox and onedrive. Its not possible to move the imported album pictures to Camera Roll that easily or very simply. The process is complicated or requires a paid application. My question is whether the pics can be directly saved to camera roll or is there a way to move at a bulk all the pics from imported album to camera roll so that the sync with dropbox and onedrive is easier and simpler.
    Thank you

  • Pictures not saving to camera roll

    New iPhone 5,  pictures are not showing up in camera roll when I take a picture.  picture shows up in bottom left, but not in camera roll or "photo" app.  Tried restoring the phone and resetting, but still having the issue.  Any fixes?

    When you take a photo is there a small icon of the picture in the bottom corner?What happens if you touch that?
    If there is no icon or you are not taken to the Photos App to see your new photo then have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    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.

  • Photos not saving to camera roll - iphone 5s

    I upgraded to the Iphone 5s from 4s now photos are not saved to the camera roll. Took it to the Genius bar and they restored to factory settings, same problem but they later did a "deep restore" and it worked. When they restored my data, it broke the camera roll again. The only soultion seems to be to "start over". But this is not acceptable. How can I transfer some of the app data (texts, voicemails, and select apps) to the new phone?
    Alternatively, how can I "fix" the camera roll?
    Some hints: There is a folder in DCIM folder (when viewed with the app iExplorer) called 101APPLE that contains 49 phots and 2 movies from 2010 that I CANNOT delete. Iphoto wont delete them, they wont delete from the phone UI, and they cant be delete with iExplorer - in all cases it SEEMS like they delete then pop right back in!!

    The only way photos would go to the camera roll would be if you restored the 5S from an older backup. If you transfered these photos via iTunes sync, they do not go into the camera roll.

  • 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!!

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • Changes in LRmob are not saved to camera roll on ipad...

    I just have been working on a batch of photographs on ipad and saved all the worked on images on my camera roll in ipad. When I opened my camera roll none of the changes had been saved, the photographs were the ones I had synced from desktop to ipad.
    The changes have been saved on my desktop though.
    Is it not possible to save the file with applied changes to camera roll for sharing with Instagram and Foap? If we can't save changes to camera roll I might as well stay with VSCO cam in ipad then...
    A work around is of course that I can pluck them back off probably from the Adobe cloud, but that is another step added to my workflow.
    I was hoping to use LRmob because the syncing is wonderful, and I start with LR for all my photographs.
    My current workflow is to import pics in LR, then drag the ones I want for Foap and Instagram via iPhoto and shared stream to get them onto ipad or iphone. Import in vsco and from there send to instagram or Foap. I know, rather heavy workload.
    I had hoped that LRmobile would have cut this load in half...
    I wonder if it is possible to make the changes applied in LRmob savable in camera roll... Since LRmob has been designed for idevices, it does need a saving option on the device. Otherwise it's missing a major feature.
    I must admit that the filters and processing are fab... My pics do look so smashing on ipad air.
    I am very happy with LRmob apart from the question title...

    Thanks Rikk, that is how I understood it. Thanks for your speedy answer, I really appreciate it. And that is exactly how I shared, I just thought that the changed images did not go to the camera roll. I will try again!
    Thank you so much!

  • When I switch off i5,all the pictures saved in camera roll is deleted

    When I switched off my new i5 ,all the pictures saved in camera roll is deleted.How can I fix this problem?

    Nevermind, everyone! I fixed it myself! Anyone who has or ever gets this problem, do understand that it isnt easy to fix it, but it's worth it. All you have to do is go to the photo, and tap "Edit". Then tap "Crop", and just a little bit will do the trick. Then, tap "Save". It will probably come up with a white background. Unfortunately, you must do each picture one by one. If you really want to, you can go back to any picture you've cropped, tap "Edit", then tap "Revert to Original". This will change the photo back to it's original size.

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

  • HT204022 how do i make sure my pictures are saved to camer roll or aperture

    how do i make sure my pictures are saved to camer roll or aperture

    Is there anyway of checking they are in itunes before I restore?
    I've never used the contacts part of sync process as I wasn't sure if it would store the contacts I have on my phone on my computer or vice versa (which would be crap as I don't really use outlook etc for contact storage)
    Any suggestions?

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

    Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
    I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
    I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
    also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

    Welcome to the forum.
    I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
    Good luck,
