Hi Jay,
In iphone app in the folder I can see only pictures with correct dates. But in the photo tab I see for each picture black picture next to the good picture. When I click the black picture I get "couldnt load photo" and "there was an error loading the file." and "You have saved a new version" with refresh button. click the refresh button do nothing.
Thanks,
Rafi

Hey raficohen12, let me also jump in here!
Would you mind attaching a few screenshots of your photos tab, and what you see there?
You should be able to click the camera-like icon and send them our way. It'll help us get the visual.
Also, how long has this been happening for?
