cannot save photos on iphone 5

As of June 1 I cannot save photos to my camera roll. If I "save image" from a message or facebook, they don't save to the camera roll. Also, when I take a photo with the phone the picture shows in the lower left but doesn't save to the camera roll.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

Connecting to iTunes on the Computer you Usually Sync and Back Up to will prompt you to Backup and Transfer Purchases as well as ask you to Import your Photos.


Your Issue may be too many Photos in your Camera Roll.


If you like... Try This First...


Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...


Reset ( No Data will be Lost )


Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...


Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...


Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)


Release the Buttons...


If the issue persists... Try the Restore.
