I had the first model of the iPhone and once I hit 125 photos, for some reason any photo I would take would not save to my photos. I can try to delete photos and they will go away, but then when I reopen my photos, the photos reappear. I got a new iPhone 3GS recently after my original phone broke and resynced it on iTunes and the same exact thing is happening on this phone as well. When I go to my photos, all of the photos are black. Is there a corrupted photo that is causing this to happen? I'm willing to delete all of my photos if I can figure out how to do it properly on my phone if that's the case because I'm sick of not being able to take pictures.
Got a tip for us?

Camera won't delete or save any photos

Could be a problem with your back up... Do a fresh restore (not form backup) and see if that helps...
When I did a restore and did not resync it with my old contacts, apps, etc. and kept it 100% "unused", the camera works fine. Is there any way that I can resync it with my contacts only and not the photos because I can't find any options to not put the pictures back on my phone
The option for photos on iTunes is only for the photos from the hard drive on my computer, not on my actual phone and deleting those photos doesn't work if I do it on my phone. I can view photos that are synced directly from my computer, but not from my phone hard drive.
It actually was jailbroken a VERY long time ago with my first phone. I can't be certain but I want to say I was able to take pictures after I "un-jailbroke" my phone. Is there any way to check the permissions?
I did a restore by plugging in my phone to my laptop and then restoring it through iTunes. Is that what you mean by fresh restore? Because that didn't work.
i mean dont restore from a back up i also would have tried a settings reset that could of fixed the permisions without the need of a restore, it pretty much sets all the settings to factory except your data/songs/apps/Jailbreak etc.. are kept as is.
