Why has the DCIM Folder changed in Windows 7 after updating to iOS8?

Hello all,
I notice that after applying the last iOS update (8.1) there are many more folders (albums) when my iPhone 5 is connected to Windows 7.
Previously there was only a 4 or 5 albums, meaning that it was easy to backup photos, as they would be saved in the order the appear on the Phone itself. Now they appear at random in these folders (see attached image below) meaning I cannot easily save the last 30 or 40 photos to my PC (as I was doing before).
Furthermore the folder/file attributes are all the same now, if anyone has any idea why this has occurred and how to resolve it I will be appreciative!

Thanks again for your suggestions and links. I have gone through those, and am sorry to say I am not really any further forward. I have also gone systematically through the yahoo cookies, deleting one at a time. The only one that makes any difference is the T cookie, which must retain the login status as deleting it forces a login at the next access. After a login I get up to about a minute of Yahoo tech group activity before the "connection was reset" error pervades. All the Yahoo cookies are back in place when this happens. Using Private Browsing makes no difference to this behaviour.

Why has the airplay symbol disappeared from ipad 2 after update?

I responded to an IOS update request and now the ipad 2 does not show the airplay symbol. Both devices are on and connected to the wifi. Switching both on and off has not resolved it. It seems t o be a well known problem but this non tech savvy guy cannot fix it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

>>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

Why has the sound gone all of a sudden after installing the new iOS 5.0.1?

I have had the iPhone 4s since the time it was released in the uk, u had no problems with it, it's network coverage was pretty good, the loudness of the speakers was good ad the battery would last me an entire day, now after installing the new ios 5.0.1, my sous has gone, I can't hear the music playing, I can't here te clicks and the tap sounds when touching the phone, the only time it makes sound is when I make a call and I can put it on loud speaker, other than that there's no sound coming from te loud speaker, oh yeah Siri seems to be working fine. Do aby of you people know what's wrong and if any of you lot are going through the same problem or any other problems since tbe update to ios5.0.1, apple you need to get this sorted as the speaker is important to some of us if not all and it would be great if you could sort this out and any other problems caused by this update and to allow the phone to work and operate the way it should, thanks!

Hi Guys, I FIXED IT!!!!
I have post eariler on this forum and as you know I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

Why did the Mozillza Icon disappear from my Desktop after Updating to 6.02?

Updating Moz Firefox to 6.0.2...Update began installing on Firefox and Chrome...Firefox completed...Chrome was lagging behind..so I stopped it @ 60% as I do not care about Chrome...Firefox Icon on Desk top deleted...

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Why my iPad mini 2 no sound after updated to iOS8

Why my iPad mini with retina display no sound after updated to iOS8

I solved for my ipad mini retina:

- Change the function of the slider on the side of the ipad from 'rotation lock' to 'sound off'
- Wiggle the slider up and down
- Sound is restored
- You can set the slider back to rotation lock again

Why can I only view the DCIM folder?

Im trying to back up my music from my ipod to my windows 7 but when i go to the folders in the ipod i only see the DCIM folder and I noticed it's categorized as a digital camera... Is there anyway i can change this so i can move my songs back onto my computer?

Did you install iTunes? iTunes is the only way to back things up and sync content, unless your device is jailbroken. But that's a different story.
The reason why you only see the DCIM folder is mainly for security. You don't want a virus on your computer to mess around with the system files in your shiny iDevice, don't you? What you see instead is just a list of photos that you have saved from the internet or taken with the camera.

My Windows 7 doesnt see my iphone 5 photos. The DCIM folder is empty when I try to open it in Windows Explorer. Can anyone help?

Hi, can anyone tell me why my photos dont appear in the DCIM folder (as they previously did) when I connect the phone to my laptop, using Windows 7. The Dcim folder appears to be empty, whereas in the past, it used to have my phone photos in it.

Thanks to both of you. It seems that Kiltedtim hit the nail on the head.
Paul's advice is appreciated but not needed, as I never lock it with a passcode but thanks anyhow.

I am getting an error message that "no photos could be found on this device" when I plug in my ipad to my windows 8. I open the dcim folder and it shows up empty, although I clearly have photos on my ipad. I was able to do this just last week. HELP!

Help, I am trying to get my pictures from my ipad to my computer (windows 8) and I get the message that "no photos could be found on this device." When I try to open the dcim folder, it shows up empty. What can I do? I have previously been able to import pictures easily.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of windows 7 and not the 64-bit?
Surely the i7 and 4gb can cope with the demands and the 64-bit version would allow more efficient use of the computing power.
Many thanks,

Good question but Im afraid only Toshiba marketing division has right answer to your question.
I just presume they create own decision based on market research.
You can try to install own 64bit version if the drivers, tools and utilities are available.

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

Just select the Image trace panel from the window menu and then customize it.

The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating!

The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating! Where can I find these two movies to watch? It asked me once it was downloaded if I wanted to watch it but I wasn't ready to and now can't find where to play these again.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.
