After upgrading to ios5.1 photo app crashes when trying to edit "cropping"photos. I've shut it down and also tried a reboot.

I have the same problem but with other applications as well. It's not just 3rd party apps, but even happening with messenger and safari app. It happened prior to the iOS 5.1 update but it was not as frequent then. I've followed all the suggestions - soft reboot, hard reboot, delete and reinstall app, etc. Pretty frustrating.

I just experienced this also. This nevere happened to me until I upgraded to iOS 5.1

I tried to crop a screen shot I took and as soon as I clicked on the crop square symbol, my phone went instantly to a black screen with a very skinny red line horizontaly across my screen. My phone rebooted and I tried once more and the same thing happened except without the red line.

Hopefully its just a bug with the update and will be fixed soon.

An update I would love to see sometime is the capability of not being able to turn off your phone from a lock screen.

I recently lost my white iPhone 4s and I could not use the app Find my iPhone because the thief turned it off.

Therefore, it would be impossible for the person to turn off their phone without unlocking the phone. It's a headache, but trust me; I'd rather waste a few extra seconds unlocking my phone to power off (which I rarely ever do) than spend $500 for a whole new phone and the headache of retrieving everything from iCloud.

Yes I'm having the EXACT thing happening to my iPhone 4 also :-(. Was fine until the latest update. If there's a fix can someone pls let me know? Hugely appreciated :-)

I am having the same problem! I hope apple fixes it soon as I like being able to crop photos.

How would you make it impossible for the thief to remove the SIM?

i'm having the same issue, but only with screenshots, sends the phone into some type of reboot.

I'm having the exact same issue. I hit the photo edit button, then circle starts, screen goes black, and apple icon shows up and won't go away. So irritated. Happened right after the update. Someone help us!!!!!!!

Apple needs to come up with an update to fix this. I have this same problem but it doesn't crash on my older pictures. I took a screen shot and went to crop it and bam! It restarts. Tried everything from deleting a few pictures to ending the task and restarting the phone and everything I could think of and still have this problem. I went to go into my photos again and it crashed this trying to open them up. Apple needs to do something about this. This is just frustrating

I have been experiencing the exact same thing every day on my iPhone 4S after upgrading to iOS 5.1.

Apps are spontaneously crashing, resulting in a black screen with the spinning wheel indicator, and then after a not-too-long delay (i.e., much shorter than a full reboot or restart) the phone returns me to the Lock Screen.

This has happened multiple times every day since the upgrade and does not appear to be isolated to any particular app. I've had it happen with Tweetbot, Photos, Agenda, Mail, and other apps.

Clearly, a serious issue with the iOS 5.1 update. Um, obviously I too hope Apple can resolve this ASAP. I have never had a public release version of iOS that has caused as many problems.

same here the genious camera app crop function still works, tried to return the phone to factory settings and use the backup from the 16th but 12hrs latter trying to get my contacts and other stuff back in order from icloud is getting really bad. the apple crop funtion renders the photo to looking lke its an 8bit picture. but it only does it to pics that are saved from the web not ones that are taken with the phone. I have 3 iphones and this one is the only one doing it and it happens to be mine. but the 3rdparty app genious camera like i said still works

Same issue here but only editing screenshots, and only since upgrading to 5.1.

Hey Data, how do I remove just the images from my camera roll and then restore just the images? I don't want to restore my entire phone!

Wow ok, I want to just clarrify:

I go to the DCIM folder under my phones name in My Compter. I delete the photos (no photosteam or just delete all the folders?). Now, after I deleted the photos out of those folders on my computer, I just sync the photos from itunes?

Thanks
