Q: Not all Photos restored - blank thumbnails exist
Upgraded from a 5 that went for a swim to a 6s Plus. 5 was backed up via icloud, used a 4 while i waited for 6s to come out.
Setup new 6s Plus using restore from icloud selection, that seemed to work okay although i did not check status of pictures at that time the restore finished.
Next I used AT&T mobile transfer app to transfer recent pics from the 4 I was using to the 6s plus
All that seemed to go okay as well and I can access those pictures and videos without issues, and even some of my pics and videos that were restored via my original icloud restore. However most pics and videos from the icloud restore just show up as blank gray thumbnails for pics, and only the video bar displays for videos. Clicking on them just opens a larger gray pic/video. No error messages are displayed, unless I try to share or send via message then it just says an error occurred with the file try again later.
Also upgraded to iOS 9.0.1 when it popped up hoping that would fix the issue, it did not.
I have tried disabling cloud sharing, location services, etc. in an effort to fix this but nothing seems to help.
Has anyone seen this before and do they have a fix?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.0.1, issue occurred first in 9.0
