My iPhone 3GS has a prob­lem. When I take pho­tos, video, or screen­shots, the Photo Roll shows the count on the Photo Roll icon, but when I click the icon, the media is not inside. When I sync to my com­puter with iPhoto, all the media shows up. I tried restor­ing to a pre­vi­ous backup to no avail, but have read that if I restored back in time far enough, I can prob­a­bly make this prob­lem go away. I wasn’t inter­ested in this so I sought an alter­nate method and found it!

From: DLS Tip: Google Apps does Gmail aliases right

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.
