Photos not appearing in Camera Roll?

[Rojo]

So my boyfriend and I both installed 3.0 to our iPhones (I have a 1st gen, he has a 3G), and everything seems to be working fine...

...except that the photos my boyfriend is taking on his 3G are not showing up on his Camera Roll. Does anyone else have this problem? (I searched, and couldn't seem to find a thread about this - so he may be the only one).

Luckily the photos he's taking ARE being saved in the phone somehow, as they eventually show up when he syncs. However...it's still very annoying -- as he can't double-check to see if the photos he's taking are any good. (And he actually uses some of his 3G photos for photography work).

Anyone know what might be happening? Will he have to do a full restore or something? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I take it no one else is having this problem?

I'll have him try a restore later tonight and see if that helps -- but if anyone has any other suggestions...

I'm having the same issue with my iPhone 3GS.

It was working fine, just started happening today.

I found a solution for the iPhone not showing pictures taken issue.

1. Backup/Sync your phone just-in-case

2. Use a directory browser such as PhoneView or some other tool (Download the trial of PhoneView: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/)

3. In PhoneView Browse to the /Disc/DCIM/ folder and delete the entire .MISC folder. (I actually deleted everything in the DCIM folder)

This solved the issue for me without having to resort to a restore. Also, using those programs you can recover any photos/videos that were taken that you could not get to.

Thanks! That worked well for me. My photos are back up and running. As a note, I ended up deleting the folder "100APPLE" in the "DCIM" folder.

Also, the path to get there for me was -

/Volumes/root/private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM

Thanks - glad I checked back on this thread, as we were almost going to do a restore. We'll have to do this and see how it works!

iphone 3gs photos not showing in camera roll

I used phoneview trial, went into dcim file, deleted misc., took a new picture and I am back in business. Thank you all very much for your help. Rhett

same thing here, plus more... (3gs)

i'd click the photos icon and the camera roll would say it contained 527 images (or whatever) but when i'd actually get into the folder at the bottom it'd say/ show 413 (or whatever again...)

anyway, the phoneview fix mentioned here worked for me as far as the camera, but not for screenshots... they still didn't show up in the camera roll until after i did a 2nd sync... (though i've had screenshot problems that required a restart before this too...)

oh also, once while i was trying to figure out a workaround/ solution over the past couple days, i got a menu at the top of camera roll that i hadn't seen before... a 3 button sorting option of what to display...

<| All | Photos | Videos |>

(maybe i just hadn't noticed it before, but i can't get it to show up again now...)

so yeah... hopefully these issues will be fixed in 3.1

and thx for this thread everyone =)
