Why are my photos in my camera roll missing after updating to iOS5.1.1?

I just updated my iPhone 4s to the newest iOS5.1.1 to my horror, my photos in my camera roll are all missing.
I backed up and everything before updating but my photos are gone.
I've rebooted it, restored it several times but it won't work.
My lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers are saved in my camera roll previously and they're still present.
Why?
HELP ME PLEASE, SOMEONE?

Your pics are very likely gone.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. especially before any update/restore/etc.
Camera Roll is temporary storage.

  • Why are the photos in my Camera Roll being mixed around???

    I got this phone the day after it was released..love it, have not had one problem with it besides the "death grip" but I get 5 bars where I live so it usually only goes down to 2 or 3. Besides that, I noticed today when I clicked on my photos that it was "rebuilding" my library again and mixed around my photos so now they aren't in order anymore?
    Anyone else had this happen to them? It is obviously not a big issue but I am just wondering if anyone knows why it did it, and how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    My iphone is displaying the photos and videos in the camera roll album in date/time taken order. Haven't noticed it changing their order.

    Download any free app from the app store on the phone. This should fix all of the apps.

  • Why when saving photos to my camera roll do they not save in order?

    Everytime I try and save a group of photp's (ie. from a email) they do not save in the order they are in.  How can I get them to save in order?

    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device

  • Why are there duplicate pictures on camera roll but none saving to photo stream?

    My wife and I share an itunes account and when iCloud came out all her pictures were showing up on my photo stream (she does a lot of screen caps of cute animal pics to send to her friends) so to stop that I set her up with her own iCloud account.  Now when she takes a picture, seconds after she takes it, a duplicate copy appears right beside it, but none ever go to her photo stream folder.  What gives? At first I thought maybe she had HDR on, but it's not.  Then I thought maybe I didn't have photostream on correctly but looking at it it all looks fine. It's running the latest version of iOS5.  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

    If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on.  That may get photo stream to function properly again.

  • Camera Roll gone after update

    Hello,
    I just updated my phone to (ios 6.1) and now my camera roll is completely missing.  There seems to be a lot of "other" storage showing, so I am thinking that my photos might still be there, but is there any way to restore the camera roll?  A select number of my photos were restored to the photo stream, but the camera roll is completely gone.  Please help. 

    You can try restoring from backup.
    You did import all camera roll pics to your computer before updating?

  • Z10 - 10.2.1 to 10.3.1: One year of camera pictures missing after updating

    Hello,
    After updating a Z10 from 10.2.1 to 10.3.1, I have one device (out of 5) with one year of pictures that are unaccounted for (April 2014 to before the update). The Z10 has a SD card but pictures were always saved on the Device storage. The BlackBerry Link full backup file size dropped from 7.64GB to 4,44GB after updating the device, so the pictures are clearly not there anymore.
    I always backup devices before updating, so I was able to recover the missing pictures, but this is not acceptable behavior ... Seems to me to be a very serious bug.
    Very similar to this post:
    Missing camera pictures and saved picture files following OS update from 10.2 to 10.3
    https://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Z10/message-id/74141

    Confirmed that the same bad behavior is there now that the calendar has rolled forward to May.
    Like I said this raises the question of what else is broken in the basic functionality of an essential app.
    BlackBerry folks reading this - hope to you see you reproduce the bug, and acknowledge ingestion of a bug report into your internal bug tracking system, for priority fix on next OS release.
    Others reading this, if you reproduce the bug (should be easy) - please add comments as you see fit, to get BlackBerry's attention on this one.

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • All photos from the Camera roll gone after iOS 5 update! Any way to get them back?

    Please tell me a way to get my pictures back asap!

    Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage.  Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct?  In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

  • Why aren't my album cover arts being synced after updating to ios5?

    They display fine in the iTunes library.
    It only started happening after upgrading to ios.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks for your time.
    (iPod touch 4gen)

    Just updating the discussion with the current events.
    After fixing the problem and having it fixed for about a month, iTunes decided to resync all my library and deleted about a third of my albums' artwork. Even though I use manual sync, all my albums were still on my hard drive and they all had their covers correctly assigned.
    This is certainly a bug on either ios5 or iTunes 10.5.1

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

    After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

    I upgraded an iPhone 4 from IOS 4 to IOS 6 and had similar problems here is what I did.
    Problem:
    Using the Camera App from the initial screen (a view finder for me) there is an icon on the lower left side with my last photo taken.  When I select this icon the image is displayed and on the upper left side of the screen the Camera Roll button appears.
    I select the Camera Roll button and all my images show up as black on a white background.  I can select a black square and my image will apear.
    Using the Instagram App when I try to select from my Camera Roll I see the same black boxes, and Instagram is not saving photos to my Camera Roll.
    Fixing Instagram not saving problem: 
    Go to Settings:Privacy:Photos
    Move the Instagram slider to ON
    Back to the images not showing in the Camera Roll.
    Someone suggested doing a reset (hold down sleep and home button for 10 seconds).  After doing the reset the problem was worse.  From the Camera App selecting the last photo icon from the view finder screen and the Camera Roll screen apears but says there are no saved images.
    Fixing the Camera Roll not showing correctly problem:
    Set Settings:General:Restrictions to ON (You will be prompted to create a password)
    Select Settings:General:Restrictions ON>
    Toggle the Camera slider to ON if it isnt already
    This worked for me. Your milage may vary.  Good luck.

  • I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 3.3.5 to iOS 5.0 and lost all my photos on the camera roll. Where are they and can I  retrieve them?

    I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?

    Have you been using your phone as recommended?  If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping.  Just as you would with a standalone digital camera.  Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival. 
    While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
    If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup.  Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.
