Rev 3 photo app bugs/issues

Rev 3 photo app has unwanted changes/bugs:
Photos won't orient with earphone jack in up position as they did before, sometimes this orientation is best for viewing the LCD screen in certain situations.
When shuffle-displaying photos from a folder, if it happens to hit the last photo in the folder it stops and goes back to folder view instead of randomly selecting another photo. This would be a new bug since it seemingly used to end only after going through all photos in a folder.
When in shuffle, if you tap a photo to stop the shuffle you no longer get the play button, just forward and back buttons. You have to go back to the folder view to regain the play button.
These changes are not epic fails, but they are annoying. Why was it necessary to change this app at all? There should be settings options to use the previous features.

sometimes apple do change things inexplicably, not always for the better.
you should report bugs here
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
BUT i'm not sure these things are bugs, furthermore i suspect it is your ipod rather than a general problem.
i am assuming you mean the 3rd Generation when you refer to 'rev 3'
1) if i've understood you correctly, then my photos orient fine.
2) granted i don't use it very often, but i haven't noticed the problem with the shuffle function either - have done a quick test and it seems to work fine
3) however, the play button isn't there when i tap the screen. this is probably one of those inexplicable changes.
i suggest you work through the troubleshooting steps to see if you can get your photos to work properly. a restore may be required. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/index.html

Photos app bug resurrects long-removed photos (related to PNG alpha)

Wanted to report/discuss a possible privacy concern and image glitch, and understand it better for submission to Apple's feedback page: the iPad (and maybe iPhone) Photos app will consitently resurrect long-deleted photos in your Camera Roll, under certain circumstances. These are long-removed photos (as in removed many months ago, prior to the iOS 5 update), and possibly only the reduced-size thumbnail versions.
Note: as near as I can tell, the deleted photos were NOT originally from the camera roll! That's where they resurface, but I believe they are photos from other albums, maybe once which used to by synched to iPad but which I no longer synch. So "removed" might mean deleted or it might mean "no longer synched to iPad"... the images are so old I can't recall.
So the bug, I'm guessing, it two-fold:
1) The Photos app (and/or iPhoto during wired synch?) is not fully removing photos (or at least, their thumbs). They're no longer visible in Photos app, but are being retained somewhere on the device.
2) A glitch in the Photos camera roll PNG handling (which I think may be new with iOS 5) causes those old images ro re-surface when you add a PNG to the camera roll. (The old photos were JPEG, but the image that triggers the bug must be a PNG with alpha channel)
I have seen this on both an iPad 1 and iPad 2, running iOS 5.
Here's how to reproduce it:
1) Synch some photos to your iPad, then deselect them for synching and re-synch (so they're not there any more). Also, add some photos or screenshots to the camera roll and then delete them. I say to do both because I'm not 100% where the old photos come from, and I'm hoping this covers all bases! Actually, most people have already done these things in the past, and can probably skip this step.
2) Generate a transparent PNG using the art app Procreate (and probably any app that saves PNGs to the camera roll with alpha channel). All you have to do is scribble somethign into a blank Procreate canvas, then export it to your photo album. There is no need to do anything special to get an alpha channel or PNG format: you always get that. (Unless you used the Fill command to completely cover the canvas.) Now in the camera roll there should be your scribble on a transparent background. You can email it to yourself and see that clearly in Photoshop or Preview.
3) Here's the glitch: look at your camera roll (thumbnails view) and you'll see that the alpha-transparent background of the image has become one of your old removed photos! Tap it to enlarge and the alpha becomes black (which is fine, although it may seem odd if you intended to paint onto the default white canvas). But for just a moment, before you see the black, you will get a full-size glimpse of the old photo. (Or, maybe, an enlargement of the thumbnail?)
4) If you keep saving more alpha PNGs, you'll keep seeing more and different old photos coming back to life in the alpha regions of the thumbnails (and, briefly, at full size).
5) If you delete all those PNGs and then save some new ones, you'll see the same sequence of old photos reappear again.
Needed fix: removed phtos/thumbnails should be properly purged, and alpha PNGs should show simply black (or some default background) at all times.

Ok, I replicated it and I don't like it! I didn't use the one you marked cause I couldn't call it up properly but I did Bing
transparent gifs and loaded up 3, one was totally invisible in the thumbnail and I could clearly see one of my pics perfectly in the thumbnail but when I brought it to page the gif filled the frame.
I have no idea where the pic came from, I mean I recognize it but from where in the album I have no idea.
Oh yeah, I was wrong about the first pic coming to page, it wasn't the same image but a different one...and I have no idea how the one that came up, (what i thought was the underlying pic) did, or how it got there or even from where.
This is some weird stuff though not as weird as that silly *** movie, what a load of tripe; I should have just spent my
time on this, it's infinitely more enjoyable!
Ok, here's the consensus from my layman iPad view:
What happened now and most probably before was a 'transparent gif' or a partially transparent gif like the one I spoke of first that I could see the edge of or the outer perimeter of, the underlining image with the gif taking up say 3/4 of the thumbnail; this it what it was.
This is totally apparent to me now because of your having me import a totally transparent gif which was invisible over my pic, thus the freaky part I didn't like...keying the thumbnail with one thing and ending up with something totally different when brought to page.
Still doesn't explain where this silly iPad is grabbing these pics from?
But here's something funny; my camera roll shows say 9,200 pics but my, 'iMy System' app say I have like 11,300 which I always thought was a fluke, that it was just reading wrong but maybe it's seeing something we're not. What if all those pics we're deleting to save space or just generally culling have never left the system? Maybe that goofy app is really reading the true count!
Those others up above us here who mentioned privacy concerns.. this could be whats going on, there's a ghost
in the machine and it be our old pics and god knows what else floating around in that iPads memory.
Ok, I'm crazy tired and I have to wrap this up. Least now we know how to replicate this but on the other hand I think we opened up an even bigger can of worms... the mystery of where all those images are hiding in our iPads?
I haven't hardwired to a computer since I upgraded to ios5 so whatever's going on here, leastwise for me is iPad
based and can't be blamed for synching issues like you discuss up above unless what I'm grabbing here is old stuff
reimported back into my pad from the mainframe when I was backed up for the ios5 upgrade?
Oh well, let me know what you think. Please do forgive my not getting back to you sooner on account of the movie
but you already know I regret choosing that over this! Hope you had a good night and thanks...

IOS Photos app bug

I didn't know where to submit this to apple, so hopefully someone reads it.
Since about 2 iOS updates ago, I've noticed a bug in the regular Photos app. When switching back to Albums view after looking at Places, the list of albums will start at the very top of the screen (behind the clock, and app controls) making it impossible to click on the Camera Roll.
You have to go to the App Switched and kill the photos app to get it to work properly again.

Ah, now I see it's a well known problem...
It's been happening since 4.3, have they missed it in the last couple releases?

IOS5 Photos app bug

So I was browsing the web and decided to download a pic (Save to camera roll), when I opened the Photos app to check the pic, the app went crazy, buttons in the app changed places and some even disappeared, new pics save as a white pic and older photos became incredibly foggy/pixelled. I have tried rebooting and hasnt worked, something just went wrong and this huge bug was created. Ideas?
The device is an iPod Touch 4G, although that doesnt seem to matter since the problem clearly is on the software side. iOS 5 sounded cool but really, is the most buggy update ever :/

Mine was fixed following the direction on this thread.

IOS 5 Photos.app bug?

I've been actively using the share button in photos.app to post pictures to Twitter for months now. I occasionally crop my pictures before tweeting them, and today I finally realized what's happening after (rather embarrassingly) tweeting a photo that included a combination for my locker at my school. Everytime I tweet a photo from the share button, any editing is removed and the original, unaltered photo is tweeted. I've searched a lot of forums and can't find anyone else that's experiencing this. I am running iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad 2, and am just looking to see if this is a problem for anyone else or if there's a way to avoid this, outside of taking a screenshot of the edited photo and tweeting that.

I'm running iOS 6 on my ipad and when I upload cropped photos to EBay they revert back to the original. Any idea why?

IOS 8 - Photos app bug - "stuttering" effect on Year view

Hi Folks,
On the iPhone6 Plus 128GB with iOS8.1.3 (with 15000 photos inside several years go), I notice that when using the Photos native app in the “Year view” (yearly mosaic view), if I scroll up or down slightly fast, the scrolling that you get has a little “stuttering” or “jerking” effect, so the UI is not perfectly smooth in this view inside Photos native app.
Have you noticed it in your own iPhone's with iOS8.1.3. and also having a huge size photo callery as I have (>10000 photos spread in several years)? (I think that is it very important, because if you have not a huge photo gallery, probably you will not see the “stuttering” or “jerking” effect that I am describing).
I think this is a bug which impacts iOS User eXperience, which needs to be fixed.
Thanks by your feedback!

Hi Guys!
Any experience to share with us, please?
Thanks!

IPhone 5s lockscreen / photo app bug

I have noticed a reproducible bug that occurs on the lockscreen of my iphone 5s running ios 7.0.2. Here is a picture of the bug occuring on my lockscreen. It occurs as follows:
I wake the phone up to the lockscreen,
Next, I slide the camera icon up and press the camera roll square in the bottom left corner of the camera app,
Then, while still in the camera roll section of the camera app, I put the phone back to sleep,
The next time i wake my phone up from sleep I see this lockscreen.
Has anyone else experienced this as well? I want to make sure apple is aware so they can fix it in a software update.

I found a way to reverse to the keyboard with the normal size thanks to the post of Skemez1 above.
The bug is produced when you activate the camera from the lock screen and that you take a picture in landscape mode. Therefore when the keyboard appears zoomed in the lock screen, do this in order to get back to the normal size:
- activate again the camera from the lock screen,
- put the phone in portrait mode. You might have to first swerve to landscape, but do end with portrait.
- press the sleep button
It worked for me. The bug is still there, but at least I know how to get back to the normal keyboard.
This means that actually you should routinely avoid to press the sleep button when your camera is in landscape.
Hope it works for you.

Photo app syncing issues with latest updates

Since installing the new OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 to iMac and ISO 8.3 to iPhone 5s and iPad3, not all of my photo albums and or photos in various albums are syncing..... any hints?? I also installed the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27 too ! I have rebooted all devices too....
Thanks Schooner

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

Photos app scrolling bug STILL present in iOS5

Hi all,
There have been numerous threads posted about a bug in the Photos app where the events and albums listed appear underneath the titlebar. As opposed to the titlebar being a solid colour, it is opaque so you can see the list underneath it which is really annoying and can sometimes prevent you from being able to select the album you want.
Here is an example screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ronaldkunibert/6264912500/in/set-72157627940413408/
I'm disappointed this is still present in iOS5. It is such an obvious bug, how has this still gone unnoticed by Apple? Does anyone have any further info on this?
P.S. The trick of force-closing the app doesn't work anymore either.

1.2 fixes a bug in the auto-write mechanism that severely effected the performance of auto-write when files with changes were offline. Unfortunately, we didn't have time in the cycle to drastically enhance performance of the XMP auto-write mechanism for making large batches of changes or toggling the option on and off. The Lightroom team is aware of these issues and is working to resolve them for a later release.
The wording of the download page is pretty obscure. For a more accurate, detailed review of the changes in 1.2, please refer to the blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/ . For a better understanding of ways to use the auto-write mechanism in the interim, check out my post at

IPhone 5 two bugs in photo app.

Sorry, don't know where to submit bug reports... hope this place is okay.
Bug #1 - photos are not properly fit to screen. To see this, take a screenshot of the home screen, or, say, of your favorite video game on the iPhone 5. Now, look at that photo in the photo app, and double-tap it as needed to "fit" that photo to the screen. You'll notice black space at the bottom of the photo, and the top part of the photo is off-screen. So, if you took a screenshot of the home screen, the "menu bar" (or whatever it's called) will be off-screen.
Bug #2 - the "cancel" button that comes up in the delete menu doesn't work. Try to delete a photo, then hit the cancel button. You'll see the button is only barely functional - only the top sliver of the cancel button seems to accept input.

#1 was in reference to screenshots, not camera photos. Screenshots should obviously be the same aspect ratio as the screen. In any event, fitting a photo to screen (even if it has a different aspect ratio) should not cause part of the photo to go off-screen. I'm not talking about "letterboxing" here... the black space in question is ONLY on the bottom of the photo, not the top - the top part instead goes off-screen. That is definitely a bug, and I have verfied that I don't get that bug in on my old iPhone4 (updated to iOS6.) I don't have a 4S so I can't test it on that.
I have also verfied that bug #2 does not happen on my iPhone4.

2. Works if you zoom manualy (not by double tap) and scroll to a corner of a landscape picture before you rotate the phone.
I add that any other application works fine on rotate / zoom / etc even photos app works OK if i dont double tap the picture before i rotate it.
Still after the tests i am not able to identify where is the problem so i ask the comunity if can help me to identify it.

Ios7 Photo app issue.

I Installed ios7 on my iPad3 and iPhone 5 & see some of the images in the Photo app don’t scale properly & cut off at the top and sometimes right side, never an issue before. You can pinch them down to fit, but they don’t stay that way. I use the iPad to highlight my graphic work and and this is a big issue for me and I would suspect others. It seems random but happens fairly frequently. . Again, same images as before and as i said, never a problem before. It seems to affect not photos as much as images such I scan, get from LOC, various other sources, work on in Photoshop or illustrator, all legit and all fine in 6.14 and earlier. Needs to be addressed. PS, other apps that show images, Photo Manager Pro, for instance, show the same images properly. Anyone else notice this? Happens on my wife's 5 as well.

For the record, just confirmed it happens to photos taken by my iPhone as well. Really hope someone at Apple reads this and runs it down and fixes it. Most annoying to have to awkwardly resize images when presenting to prospective client, or a complete stranger. :-)
