My photos are on my SD card but showing up in my gallery. This happen yesterday after I swapped out my battery for a new one. Also I can't my downloaded photos too. Its like all the albums in the gallery disappeared. Also phone has done some random reboots. I'm running vicious 8/8 cm10. Didn't know if this has happened to anyone else and know of a fix.

The problem is ROM Manager. Try uninstalling the updates for ROM Manager and clearing the data in media. Then reboot and wait 30 minutes.
If you can delete ROM Manager all together that's even better.

The problem is also with .nomedia file.
OP: What you need to do is update the ROM manager to the latest version, use file manager (any is fine) to go to sdcard root directory and then delete .nomedia file. After that, clear Media Storage data. Reboot. Sometimes, it takes up to 30 minutes for gallery to read all the pictures, but for me, it was done in like 5 minutes.

Do you know when will the issue with Rom manager will be resolved ?
EDIT: Checked the change log on ROM manager. Looks like its been addressed. I uninstalled then reinstalled and so far all is well.

It's already been resolved. You need to update ROM manager and delete the .nomedia file from the root of your SD card. Clear data from media storage and reboot. They'll come back but it could take an hour or two.

The gallery only shows pics taken while on this rom (fnv) already. I had a couple other jb roms which did the same thing, AND pics taken while on those other jb roms also don't show in gallery.
I read something yesterday about pics now being stored in storage/sdcard0 instead of /sdcard. But I looked in sdcard0 and the new pics are there, but so are the old pics, which still aren't showing in the gallery! Anyone know what the deal is?

Download SDRescan from play store, run app, reboot. Then they should show.

How long should the scan take? After about 8 minutes I stopped it and rebooted and it didn't work. Tried several times.

Well I have about 4.5g used on my SD card, and it takes roughly 10 mins.
Also have you tried wiping cache & data for the gallery & re-booting?

Many of us on Jellybean are having this problem.. Here is my thread about it.. I can't believe there isn't a solution yet.. If I flash back onto my old ICS nandroid, I can view all the photos; however whenever I flash a jellybean rom, they are gone.

My issue with gallery is that it seems to ignore .nomedia files and still show directories that contain them.
But if I disable gallery now I lose camera.
ROM Manager has been updated to correct a bug many of us were experiencing today regarding media on internal storage. For those who did not know, this was the cause and has been corrected. Everyone should update ROM Manager.

I can confirm that the new update does not fix the problem. ( 5.0.1.4 )
Go delete the .nomedia file from the root of the SD and check in android/data, there may be another one. If there is, delete it as well, update ROM Manager, wipe the media storage data, reboot, profit. Worked perfectly for me.
I reboot twice afterwards just to make sure, and all is well again.

This almost worked for me. I deleted the nomedia file from root SD and there wasn't anymore to be found. It took a bit longer for sounds and pictures to be seen again, however the native music app does not see any music. Yet I can find it using astro file manager. Any ideas?

Trying clearing the data of the music app and reboot.
Don't have an option for that. Unless you mean to remove my music directory and then re-add it. 'Play Music' has no options to clear or perform any setting without a song actually selected. And currently it just offers a button to click to teach me how to pit music via USB.

Not in the app itself of course...
Go to settings and find the app in the app list and click it. You will then get the option to clear data.
Ah yes forgot about that. Been awhile since I've had to think about that. Worked like a charm. Thanks all.

Sorry am new at this so might sound stupid. My camera folder through gallery in galaxy nexus ( flashed to maguro takju build 4.1.1) is
Crashing repeatedly whenever accessed from either any app or directly . Although other apps like es explorer are able to open the folder and show the pics fine. Also there is no problem in taking the pictures. Earlier I had simply deleted all the pictures from the camera folder and it seemed to work but again it has started to crash. It opens for a few seconds and then auto closes to main screen. Please advice.

Can you please clear data and clear cache from the Gallery App Info screen.
How to reach App Info Screen: Settings->Apps->Swipe Left to Reach All tab-> Scroll down to Gallery and open. This is the App Info screen of the Gallery App. Here click on clear data and clear cache.
Try opening the Gallery App to see if this solves the problem.
I just did that, but it still crashes after a second of opening the camera folder. The other folders work just fine when being accessed through gallery view. I cannot access camera folder through my gallery app for more than a second.

It seems to be working for now. The camera created the folder and i took some 30 pics to test it with and seems to be working. I also changed the default folder for camera 360 to a separate location just to be safe.
It seems to be working fine now.
Almost the same
Carrier: Verizon
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus S 4g
Android: 4.2.2
Rom: Stock?
I recently updated Android 4.2.2 on my device and have not been able to launch the camera or open any apps that use the camera since. I performed a factory restart, upon initial boot at the welcome screen I am promoted that the Gallery and Google Talk have stopped. I have tried multiple factory restarts, installing different camera apps, clearing data on the gallery app and creating a test app all of which produce the same result, app crash as soon as interacting with the camera.
In my test app I am able to get the Following error to print out in LogCat
03-25 23:56:19.701: E/CameraHAL(129): Couldn't get camera properties
Not sure what to do next
Try to clear the cache, it may works.

I had flashed the AOKP build 1 ROM last week. Among other issues, the Gallery app was not showing any images from the sdcard. I then did a nandroid restore back to Bugless Beast. But the Gallery app is still not showing sdcard photos. If I add any new photo, that is showing up in Gallery after sometime; but not existing photos.
How do I solve this? Is there any way to force the Gallery app to scan sdcard for media and pick up the images?
note -
1) Gallery app worked fine before flashing AOKP
2) I don't have .nomedia in my pictures folder and they show up fine in quickpic
3) I still need Gallery to work, as apparently the app 'bump' depends on it. Bump doesn't detect pictures, if Gallery doesn't.
Any suggestions?
I'd bet if you look at the folder or root in astro or root explorer you'll see a file named ".nomedia" somewhere. It might take a little while until the scan occurs for the pictures to show up.

Apparently it has something to do with ROM manager. If you have it installed, uninstall it and redownload from the CWM website and install it again. Reboot and it should be fine. It worked for me when I had this problem.

Nope, no .nomedia files involved. Else they wouldn't have showed up in quickpic either. I anyway checked with root browser too, with 'show hidden file' checked. No .nomedia file.

I uninstalled the ROM manager and rebooted. No effect. I then cleared cache and data of Gallery and Media Storage and rebooted. Let Gallery run its scan for sometime. Now it is showing a few picture folders of the sdcard. And a lot of 'place holder' dark grey tiles with no images in them. Guess it is still scanning. But it's been almost an hour now. Still scanning...!!!??
Will update later if everything shows up.

I've tried going into Apps and Clearing Cache/Clearing Data for the Gallery app.
But to no avail.
Everyone uses QuickPic, and this is one reason why.
This happened to me too, it ended up corrupting my other images and videos
