Q: Following my update to iOS5 my DCIM folder now contains 2 files. My photos are not displaying properly on the iPhone. Help!
Hi,
My iPhone 4 has been playing up since I installed iOS5. Newly taken Photos were only displaying in a very (thumbnail like) low res. This started after I took about 20 photos one after the other and then tried to edit one using the PhotoShop App.
I tried a factory reset and restore. No joy. Same issues.
I looked at the phone going through My Computer (PC) and I see that there are 2 files in the DCIM folder. I have tried deleting one file, I tried deleting both. I have tried deleting the contence of the folders. No joy. While the photos seem to delete they reappear again when I look in the camera roll in the form of grey boxes with JPG or MOV written in the middle.
Im a bit stuck.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
iPhone 4, iOS 5

I found a solution that worked!!
"THE FIX
Download 'iExplorer' (Google that one and it's free for Win/Mac).
Plug iPhone in and navigate to the PHOTODATA folder.
Locate these three files:
1. Photos.sqlite
2. PhotosAUX.sqlite
3. com.apple.photos.caches_metadata.plist
Delete them from your iPhone.
Restart your iPhone and let if boot fully.
Open 'Photos' and wait for the iPhone to 'rebuild the library'.
Enjoy your thumbnails once more! "
