Help! iPod touch won't save photos after the 3.0 update!

My iPod touch won't save photos any more! It worked for a while after the 3.0 update but now whenever I save a photo it seems like it works then when I go to look at the photo, it's not there! I use the app photoshare and other people on there say they have the same problem since they've updated to 3.0! Help!

Ok, had to chime in with the problem/solution...apparently there is a counter problem in either the 3.0 update or the firmware in general...once your 'Saved Photos' hits 0999.png your images are saved although will be invisible to your ipod...ugh

The solution (until there is a firmware update) is to reset the counter...go grab iphonebrowser 1.91 - http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/list

Install and run iphonebrowser (with your ipod connected)...under DCIM/.MISC (in the left pane) delete 'info.plist' in the right pane...disconnect and restart your ipod...this should have reset your ipod (image counter) and the next image saved will be 'IMG_0001.png'

WARNING: I had to delete/transfer any images already in 'Saved Folders' prior to applying the fix to get it to work although haven't looked back since!

See you at 0999.png 🙂

ah thanks so much tcwiv, it actually worked
although i save a lot of photos so ive had to reset the counter twice hah
but at least i can save them at all
i hope apple fixes this soon, or in the next update, its really quite annoying
i wonder if this happens with the new ipod touches that already have 3.0, but i guess not cuz they didnt need an actual update install.
well thanks again it helped a lot:)
