When I tap on a picture in my Camera Roll, a different picture displays. Why?

My camera roll displays several thumbnail pictures that, when I tap on them, display different pictures. The pictures in the thumbnail cannot be opened, neither will they display in a slideshow. It's as if there are two pictures in one - one that displays as the thumbnail and another when I attempt to open it. Anyone have an explanation and a recommendation on what to do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do i delete pictures from the camera roll, but keep them in different albums?

i have added pictures from my camera roll into different albums. but every time i try to delete the ones from the camera roll, it asks if i want to delete the picture from everywhere or cancel. how do i keep them in the other albums, but delete them from the camera roll?

You can't because the actual photo is in camera roll. The albums only contain links to the photos. If you delete the photo from camera roll it will be gone from your phone and therefore also removed from any albums that contain links to it.

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.

HT1688 I have pictures on my camera roll that when I try to click on them the only thing I get is a white screen. I took about 10 pictures on the same day and in the middle of all the pictures it has about 5 that come up white when I try to click on them.

I recently took pictures at a family outing and all the pictures appear on my camera roll but when I click on about 5 of the pictures they all pull up as a white screen even though I can see the picture on the camera roll. How do I get these to pull up when clicked on ? I have completely shut the phone off twice thinking this would reset pictures but it has not made a difference. What can I DO??

My sister's 5s is having the same issue since yesterday.
Neither resetting via holding home+power buttons helped, nor the "reset all settings" in the settings. The only option left is erasing the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone ( or restoring from a backup?)

I have just went to the Apple Retail Store and purchased an HDMI adapter that plugs into the bottom of my iPhone 4. When I asked the sales person if I could watch the videos and pictures from the camera roll I have taken on a T.V. he said I could.

I have tried to watch the videos and see the pictures from my iPhone's camera roll on a televison but it is not working. It is like nothing is connected to the T.V. set. I have tried with cables that attach to the bottom of the iPone. I have used an HDMI cable and a component cables on two seperate Televisions. How is it supposed to work.
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDMI #4 jack into the T.V. and turned on the iPHone and watched the camera roll on the iPhone bu tnothing appears on the T.V. screen. What would have to be adjusted to view the pictures from the camera roll on the T.V. screen. The same thing happend when I used "Composite to iPhone" cables to a different T.V. I even tried with and iPhone 3GS, still no display on the T.V. screen.

Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked.

I backed up my iPhone to my computer before I did the ios 8 update and now when i go t restore it it tells me there isnt enough space on the iphone. I lost half of my pictures in my camera roll. Is there anyway i can get these back?

You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

When I click on a photo and the full picture comes up it is a different picture

I click on an image and when the full size picture comes up it is a different picture from a different time. Anyone know of this issue or how to fix it.

Search the forum - it seems like some action will resolve this - like an edit in iPhoto or something - I just vaguly remember someone saying they have a wrok arround - I also think that it mayh have to do with Nikon cameras although I'm fuzzy on that too
Check this thread (from the more like this link near the top of this page) and see if it applies or helps - https://discussions.apple.com/message/21042960#21042960
Do report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

You're welcome. Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway. I always import them to my computer at least weekly. That way I know I have them.
You might want to check out the app PhotoSync. It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

I deleted pictures from my camera roll using my computer since i didn't have enough space to back up my ipad in my 5 gigs of space. but after deleting a huge amount of pictures. the size of the camera roll is still the same as when i started.

I deleted some of them -this time from the ipad itself- but the size of the camera roll remains the same. should i have not remeoved them using the computer for the camera roll.

I can't save a picture to my camera roll from an email

I emailed a picture from my MBP to myself then downloaded the email on my IPhone 4S. When I tried to open the picturethe only options I had were to email the pic, post to FB or Twitter or print it out. There used to be an option of saving th picture to the camera roll. Where has this option gone? IPhone 4S IOS6.1

There still should be an option to save to camera roll.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then 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). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Moving pictures from the camera roll.

I have various pictures on the camera roll that I want to move into albums. Some of the pics were taken using the iPad and others downloads from e.mail. I can't seem to find a way. Nik

Nik,
You can create albums as long as you are running the latest iOS software 5.0 or above. Please note that by placing photos into albums you are not moving them but simply sorting them. They still remain in the camera-roll. Think of the camera-roll as your entire library of all your photos put together. Likewise if you delete a photo fgrom within an album it will not be deleted from the camera-roll only from the album. To delete a photo off your device you must delete it from inside the camera-roll.
To create albums open the Photos app and switch to album view. Tap the camera roll album select the photos you want and click the action button you'll be given the option to place the selected photos into a new or existing album. You can also create a blank album first and add photos to it later.

When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

When I make a new album from my camera roll, I am unable to delete the from only the camera roll album. Is there any way to delete them?

When I make a new album from my camera roll, I am unable to delete the photos from only the camera roll album. Is there any way to delete them without deleting them from the new album?

The photos in your album are actually only saved in your camera roll. The creation of an album does not create copies of the photos. The Album simply contains pointers to the pictures in the camera roll.
If you want to create stand-alone albums move the pics to your computer, say iPhoto, create albums there and sync the pictures back to your iPhone. Note that the pictures synced back to the iPhone will not necessarily have the same resolution as the camera roll versions.

How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

Hello jcamengual,
I was having the same problem you're having - for those that don't understand... I synced photos on to my ipad which placed them inside "photos" not cameral roll. I then sold me laptop as I thought I had no need for it. When I bought my new iMac I tried to use my external hard drive which had my back up on, however my hard drive no longer works. Thus unable to retreive my photos on to my iMac!
Anyway... long of the short of it is theres no easy way. But there are a few ways. I'm currently using icloud's photo stream. As long as you have photo stream set up on your mac you can create a shared stream on the ipad with a friend. This shared stream will appear on your mac, you can then "import photos" straight from the shared stream.
Alternativley you could use something like drop box. Sync your pictures from iPad to drop box. Then download from drop box to Mac. As I said, no easy way that I have found but this does work. It just takes a long time.
Key Facts:
You can have 5000 photos inside a sharred stream
You can have 100 sharred streams
Therefore you can stream 500,000 photos - I hope you don't have that many.

Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll. I also can't send a picture to a friends phone. One last question.......why do pictures freeze up on the screen and I have to hit the power button to go back to home screen. Thanks for any help.

Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll? I also can't send Pictures to someone else's phone. My picture seems to freeze up and I can't do anything, particularly delete the picture. I'm new to iPhone so I'm really just learning how this iphone thing works :)

Did you recently start using iCloud to backup your photos?
Wife had the same problem today. Remembering that I had recently signed her up for more space on iCloud and started backing up her photos, I decided to roll the dice and turn that off. Plug phone back into computer and *boom* I now have the option to delete. Now I just have to figure out how I can do both = \

When I tap on a picture in my Camera Roll, a different picture displays. Why?
