iPhone 4 rebuilding photo library and losing photos

Actually, I find this happens when I save an animated gif to my Photo Library on the iPhone. Every pic after that doesn't get saved until I delete the animated gif from the library.

My wife seems so have lost ALL HER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS on her Iphone on this issue, just now.

Last week the phone autmatically started to rebuild her library, we then managed to save som 5000 puctires last week, today it did the same thing but the update of the library was cancelled and now the photo-library on the phone is completly empty. There should be a few hundred new photos missing from this last week.

I have checked in iphoto and in the mac image-import-program, whateverthat is called. It says 0 photos 0 videos.

Any suggesting on what to to, the phone is not backed up. Teh pictures are gone.

Is there any way to restore a deleted or missing photo-album on an iphone 4?

This is a bug in all iDevices it is caused by saving to many photos at one time, a way to prevent this is to have your photo app open in the background while saving photos. I'm not sure if the photos are deleted or just not displayed though both are possible.

I have this problem too. As a matter of fact, it did it on my 3GS when I updated it to the 4.x firmware. My iPhone 4 has always done it, and does to this day. I've tried leaving the photos app open, and closed, but nothing stops this. It is random, but each time it will corrupt a random photo so it shows just a jpg logo, and deletes every photo after the corrupted one. I'm getting real sick of it. It would be wise to check each photo being saved as you go just to ensure you aren't wasting your time saving subsequent photos that will only be deleted. I should add that after several restores, five different brand new iPhone 4s, it is obvious that we have a serious software problem.

One other annoying issue with the photos app is this strange blurring of the photo or photos being viewed for a few seconds before it clears up for normal viewing.

Restoring or replacing will not help it's just a software bug in iOS 4 my 3GS and iPad 2 do this as well sometimes usually after saving several photos at once a photo that blurrs for a second might just be a very high resolution so that is expected

Getting anything done about any of this is next to impossible. I've reported it to tech support so many times. They in turn claim to take the issue to the engineers who say it is a non issue and refuse to even look into it, much less fix it. Same thing with iTunes taking two restores to get our folder structure back the way it is in the backup file onto a new or wiped clean phone. The engineers claim that is a non issue as well. Even the techs confirm all of the above mentioned to be a problem, even on their phones, yet said issues do not exist. How long has iOS 4 been out now, and we are about to partake in iOS 5, leaving these problems unfixed. Hopefully they magically disappear with the new operating system.

Go figure..

I'm having this same problem wiht my iphone 3gs, did you find a resoluation to your problem?

never found a solution, I got the 4s and never had the problem happen again. try getting the latest update for your iphone.

Hi! I actually have an iPod Toucg 4G. I had my screen repaired. While the technician was showing that my unit was fixed, I saw the "Updating Library" on my photos prompted on the screen. However, the technician cancelled it. And when I checked it, all the photos were gone. I really don't have a problem with retreiving the photos because I already have a back-up.

My problem is that my iPod touch did not actually clear any space in my storage. It's still almost full. It still says my camera roll occupies 17.8 GB where there are no photos/videos at all. 😟 Please help me just restore all the photos or clear away the 17GB space.

Thank you!
