All the gory details inside... <br /><br /> Hello All! <br> <br> I downloaded the new IOS 6.0 operating system to my iPhone 4 last night, and when I went into my Twitter and Facebook apps it asked me if I wanted to "give access" (or some such nonsense) to my photos with each of these websites. In both cases I chose not to, as I wasn't sure why they needed access to my photos nor what they might do with them.<br> <br> I discovered a short time later when I tried using both sites that I could no longer save images from them to my photo album. With Twitter when I tried to save an image I got the message: "Error Data Unavailable" and with Facebook it seemed to let me save the image but when I checked my photo album the image wasn't there.<br> <br> I tried logging out of both sites and even tried uninstalling both sites and reinstalling them and nothing worked.<br> <br> Did I cause this by not allowing these sites access to my photos? How do I fix this?<br> <br> I am unable to get to my local Apple store with their "Genius Bar" for at least another week and while I did find an article online that suggested doing a "hard reset", if there is a simpler solution I would welcome it. Any ideas all you Apple experts?

You will see a list of applications that have requested access to your photos and whether you allowed them or not. If they are marked "no", flip the switch to "yes."<br> <br> <a href="http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57507698-285/how-to-control-your-privacy-settings-on-ios-6/">C|Net has a video with a walkthrough</a> in case you're a visual learner. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.224925-3253402 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 06:16:13 -0800 bcwinters http://ask.metafilter.com/224925/Is-is-time-to-change-to-an-Android-phone#3253455 Success!
