Strange image appears on my iPhone image gallery, then disappears!

I was thumbing through my image gallery on my iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.3) the other day, when I thumbed to this weird image of a 3D emoticon with large fangy teeth. I paged back to it a couple of times, then it disappeared.
I've never seen this before, my first concern was that my phone is hacked or one of the apps did something. I've Google'd around and read some other similar stories, but nobody seems to know what's going on.
Anyone familiar with this oddity? Should I be concerned....
For the record, I've not jailbroken the phone or done anything strange.

If you have not jail broken there is no way your phone can be "hacked" or compromised. It is very odd that this happened and I do not know exactly what you have been doing that might have caused this, but I don't think it's cause for concern. Perhaps you used an app that added something to your Camera Roll temporarily.

    I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

  • HT4059 I used to be able to transfer PDFs from Dropbox to iBooks but now the file appears for about 1 second and then disappears - any ideas?

    Can anyone help? I want to transfer PDF files from Dropbox to iBooks but when I do, the file appears for about 1 second then disappears. I used to Beatle to do this with no problems, but now it doesn't work. Help!

    I had the same problem.  After numerous attemps to Restore from Itunes, I decided to use the "Setup as New Ipad" option. It went through a few question on new setups. Afterwards all my apps, data, photo's were still intact. Which shows that the Restore from Itunes worked. There must be a small bug that prevents the Ipad to open after "Restore from Itunes" .  Hope it will help you. 

  • Main podcast image appearing but thumbnail/directory image wont display?

    hey all,
    i have my podcast working fine in itunes now and the image works ok on the main podcast page. however i still can't see a smaller version appear when searching for my podcast in the main listings. the smaller version still has the generic purple icon.
    any reason for this?

    Since you upload only the one image, from which both the main one and the small one are generated, I would assume that it is an iTunes Store issue about which you can't directly do anything. I can only suggest you (and everyone else with the same problem) contacts the Support team:

  • Only thumbnail image appears in Viewer; RAW image inaccessible

    I import Nikon D200 RAW images into Aperture project. The thumbnails appear in Browser as normal. I try to view them in the Viewer or Full Page and I only see the thumbnail sized images; and I cannot make adjustments, print or otherwise process the RAW image. The full 15mb NEF image is visible in Finder in the referenced file on the external hard drive and I can access it in Photoshop CS3, but Aperture does not access the RAW file. I have rebuilt the library and created a new library, but the problem persists. Help!!!

    Do the thumbnails have a yellow border? If so, type a "P". You're in Quick Preview Mode.

  • Strange Photos appearing in the iPhone camera roll

    This has happened twice. Four pictures of hand drawn games like Hangman and Tic Tac Toe show up on the camera roll on the iPhone. And not right after a sync. Don't think I can post one here but I can send them to anyone who asks. Is this a virus?

    Do you have an app that provides for hand drawn pictures on your iPhone? Do you use MMS?
    There are no viruses in iOS4, but 4.0 and 4.0.1 have a "PDF exploit" that theoretically make it vulnerable to malware. (Do you understand the difference between malware and viruses?) So far, the only example of this is a jailbreaking technique. The exploit was patched with 4.0.2 (and 4.1)
    OTOH, if your phone is jailbroken, it not only has the PDF hole, but is vulnerable to other attacks, and who knows what's in your phone.

  • Strange numbers appearing in my iPhone 4 contacts

    Earlier today I was scrolling through my contacts list trying to find my friend's number, when I noticed a lot of names I don't recognize. Most of them were from my area code (256), but a lot of them were from as far away as Michigan, Washington DC, New York and Florida. None of the names were people I recognized. I let some people borrow my phone, but it was always within sight of me and I was watching them play with it before handing it back to me untouched. I haven't downloaded any unofficial apps, my phone isn't jailbroken, and it's running iOS 5.1. Does anyone know what might be up? Should I be concerned?

    Are you paying for a tethering plan? This has to be activated by your carrier and is generally NOT free.

  • IPhone 4S top of screen image appears at bottom of screen, there is flickering,

    The screen on my iphone is showing the top part of the screen at the bottom of the screen. A system reboot hasn't helped - the power/lock combo. The images on the screen are flickering and jittery in some apps but perfect in others. Can someone help me to solve this? All help would be greatly appreciated. After a reboot thing there is a discoloured oval in the screen and the edges are faded.....

    Hi Rrardo,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the video displayed on your iPhone. The article linked below should be able to help you resolve the issue either through troubleshooting or service.

    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.

  • Web Gallery: image adjustments during creation of web gallery?

    I've noticed that when my images get uploaded to a web gallery, they look very different: it looks like they've been gamma'ed up, desaturated and had sharpening applied. It's quite a significant difference and it don't look good. I checked to see if it was a standard mac/pc gamma correction going on, but it didn't seem like it.
    Any thoughts on why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?
    thanks,

    I just did some digging and it seems that this washing out only happens on images that I've edited, but the way the image appears in the web gallery is WAY different than the way it appears in my iPhoto library. Perhaps when it's creating the image for the web gallery it's just not making my edits accurately?
    Any thoughts on how to fix it? It's such a bummer.

  • How do you create a rollover so larger image appears nearby?

    I'd like to create a rollover so that when your mouse moves over the first, the rollover appears as a larger image near to the first.

    You can do it with pure CSS, too.

  • Dead Battery image appears even though it was fully charged

    Hi there I need help!!
    OK so I've had my iphone for about a week now and yesterday while I was on the phone it dropped my call. When I pressed the home button the dead battery image appeared. This had me confused because prior to making the call, the battery displayed it was fully charged. When I plugged the iphone to the USB adaptor it chared for bearly 2 minutes and made a noise saying it was fully charged. During this time I recieved a text saying I had a new voicemail message but I didn't recieve the missed call. So I reset the phone and I restored it like a new phone with the new 2.2.1 version just to be safe. Today it did exactly the same thing. Any suggestions before I go to the apple store? Is there anything else I can do?
    Frustrated!!!!!

    Sounds like a problem phone. If you are in the US, you have 90 days of complimentary support, so call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and see if they have any suggestions.

  • Wrong images appearing in project window / timeline

    I'm doing a SIMPLE slideshow project for a frient. I've got a file folder of images that I imported into CS5. In the timeline the correct images are not appearing when placed from the timeline. Even in the Project folder most of the images are not what they are in explorer. Most, when opened in the Source Monitor are the correct image, even though the wrong image is appearing on the timeline, but even there many are not correct. What is happening is that the image of about 15 of the 105 imported images are appearing in the place of all of the other images. It's like something is cached, and the appropriate linkages aren't being made.
    What's even more frustrating is that the ONLY effect applied to all of the impages is Scale to Frame. There are no transistion. Nothing.
    What simple solution is there for images not importing into CS5 correctly?
    ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for that suggestion.  It DOES work!  However, it is time consuming since I'm working with over 1,000 images.  Instead, I was able to discover the following solution:
    The culprit was the magic checkbox under Edit -> Preferences -> Media for "Write XMP ID to Files on Import."  This setting writes a GUID to all media imported into Premiere for use with all Adobe apps.  I actually found the reference to it in an After Effects forum.  I didn't fully understand exactly why this is useful when I'm only working with still images.  My guess is that somehow these GUIDs became crossed over.
    I disabled this checkbox, deleted all references to the affected media, and deleted all cache files, including all files under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Adobe\Common\Media Cache.  I then reimported the originals of my source files from my network attached storage (SO thankful that I moved them offline without touching them).  Viola!  Everything works.
    It was critical that I made copies of all of my data to my NAS.  Adobe actually writes this GUID for the XMP ID to the file itself, which changes the modification date of the actual file.  So, I guess the error will follow the file wherever it goes (in an Adobe application) unless it's resaved in PhotoShop to correct the error.  Luckily, the files on my NAS were untouched by Adobe, since I made copies to work with locally.  Only the local files were affected.  Once I disabled the checkbox, then Adobe no longer attempts to modify files on import and leaves them intact.

  • I am using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a mac and I followed all the directions to copy an image but when I press paste only half of the image appears or it appears as an empty square. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.
