All of my camera roll photos don't copy onto photo stream

Hey Guys,
I recently activated photo stream on my 4S. I already had over 100 photos on it but for some reason only some of the photos copied. I now have 282 photos but only 108 are on photostream. I have tried turning it off and on many times but all the photos never copy. I cannot see why some photos have copied and others have not.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Many thanks,
Suraj

Welcome to the Apple Community.
PhotoStream only syncs photos taken after you activated the service, it doesn't just sync everything in your camera roll.

IOS 8 : Camera Roll & Photo Stream disappeared

Since upgrading to IOS 8 on both iPhone & iPad, Camera Roll & Photo Stream have disappeared off both devices.
Checked in iTunes & not shown.
Is there any way of restoring or just lost with upgrade?

Just make sure you're in moments rather than in years. And it will only take you to the maps if you click on the location names (when you're in collections) so click on the photos instead. That's all I can tell you to do since they've went ahead and taken off "Camera Roll"..

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

Camera roll, photo stream, libraries explained.

Anyone?
I have IPod's, touch and phones; IPad 2.
Just a quick tutorial, the online support docs has been read and still a little unclear and not that smart.
Is there a scenario in which Camera Roll images last more than a month?
Photo stream will last for 30 days on the devices (IPod's touch and phones; IPad 2) and then purge, correct?
On a Windows or Mac computer they are untouched by iOS activities?
If I create libraries, can they replicated across all these devices?Once I create a library, are they a camera or photo stream?
Can I keep my camera continually set to HDR?
If I am in the wrong discussion group, let me know that too.
Be kind, rewind,

Hi Pvonk and thanks for your clear response in the wake of my vague descriptions,
Correct I meant Photo Stream and not Camera Roll. Sorry.
I get it now. Thank you.
Yes. My original concern was this:
So, anything my friends and family with Apple ID's will be able to see on Photo Stream is one current months worth of photos from my devices. They will stay on my deivices until storage runs out. That G-d I got 64GB's on each. I would need to thether them to a PC and copy off the older images to make more device room eventually.
I have moved my videos to YouTube almost auto-magically - My new YouTube 'Capture' is finding them, it appears, on the device they're on to make ready for upload. Any suggestions where to move images so that my circle can view them in 'Albums? - I'm getting in to Google+ since it seems I can store stuff there and assess permissions. Can I give read only permissions to my Apple Storage to others with their Apple Accounts?
I want to save my images and not loose them, sort them in Albums and let anyone I want be able to see them across the Internet.
In short, I need to keep your #3 advice for PhotoStream. Make sure there are not single images there that aren't back-up somewhere else.
Yes I meant Albums. If I copy them to PhotoStream will they stay for thirty days - even if they were there once before in PhotoStream? (though not in a Library)
The camera setting has HDR, under options. I remember reading somewhere it takes three pictures/images and combines them for the best image or something like that. It seems to turn off when I close the app or change to flash - I think...
Is it worth using?
I am, er was, a died in the wool Windows | AD guy | Novell too | Blackberry too. I am loving this new stuff. I am born again.
Thanks again Pvonk and later,

Camera Roll/Photo Stream Questions

A few CR/PS Questions. I have automatic transfer to PS enabled on iPhone 4S, husband's iPhone5 and iMac all using same appleID/iCloud account.
1) When I edit a picture in a camera roll and save it, the edited version (which is the one I want) does not show up in PhotoStream. Any way to make this happen?
2) If I take a bad picture and delete it from CR, it still shows up in PS. Do I have to delete it from BOTH CR and PS separately or is there a way to do this simultaneously? Additionally, is there a time frame in which I can delete from CR before it shows up in PS?
3) PS Events on iMac: Once created (April 2013 for example), can I split and create my own events without fearing the pics will ever be deleted from iMac?
4) Is there ever any time there is an advanatge to editing a picture in PS vs CR on an iOS device?

re: 1, I typically don't edit photos from within the Photo app, but I tried a couple things just now.
If I edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to PS, then the CR version gets replaced with the edited version but that does not get pushed to PS.
If I disconnect from Wi-Fi and take a new photo and then edit it in CR, then once I get back on Wi-Fi the edited version does get pushed to PS. Not the best workaround, but it works.
Alternatively, if I use a 3rd party editor (e.g. Photo Toaster) to edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to CR, then the edited version is saved in CR and gets pushed to PS. This may be the better way to do your editing since it seems that the native Photo app does not accomplish what you want.

Camera roll / Photo Stream issues

I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1. When I take a picture the picture shows up in the ca,era roll, but not in Photo Stream. I do have iCloud and Photo Stream enabled. I can see older photos in Photo Stream. This used to work before.
Also, is there a way to add photos from your camera roll to Photo Stream?
Thanks

Have you tried turning Photo Stream off, then back on on your phone? I don't believe you can add photos to Photo Stream that are already in your Camera Roll. I believe Photo Stream will only add photos taken after it is enabled on your phone (i.e., new photos).

HT201317 Differences of Camera Roll, Photo Stream and Photo Library on iPhone?

I use my iPhoto exclusively as my camera at hand and that means I have tons of photos. What is the difference between Cameroll, Photo Stream and Photo Library? It seems that my Photo Stream has images that can be deleted ( a trash bucket icon) whereas the tech support and my local Mac store said the Photo Stream images are the ones that will be sent to iCloud and should not have the bucket. Whereas my Photo Library is not deletable? Whats is this all about and how can I make it right so I may manage my images correctly?

Camera Roll, all the picture you have taken with your iPhone. They are include in the iPhone Backup but should be transfered to your iPhoto Library on the computer for a better back up. Just like in the old days with a film camera, the is like you iPhones roll of film.
Photo Stream is iCloud's way of sharing your photos between your devices. It is not permanent storage for photo's limited to 1000 photos and can be deleted automatically in 30 days. It is a handy way to veiw photos on an Apple TV and other iOS devices or a quick and simple way to transfer them into iPhoto on your computer with out having to connect your iPhone to the computer. These photos are not backed up other than being visible on all your devices.
The Photo Library contains all the photos you synced from your computer. They are not in any part a part of iCloud or it's back ups. Since these photos come from your computer they should be backed up using it's backup routine. These photos should be managed using iTunes to add and remove them.
Take a picture with your iPhone, the new photo will end up in Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Copy that photo to your iPhoto Library on the Mac either by connecting your iPhone or select the photo in Photo Stream in iPhoto and it will get copied back to your iPhone in it's Photo Library. Once in the Library and a more stable backup routine you are able to detele it from the Camera Roll to clean it up. The Photo Stream copy could be deleted or leave it there for viewing on other devices that may not have access to your iPhoto Library. I suspect we may be able to share Photostream.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

They show in the camera roll, just not your computer?
Have you checked every folder that is in the DCIM folder?

How can I find/sync my old iPhone camera roll photos?

I've searched about 5 different ways here on the forums and can't find an answer to this question. I recently upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4. I backed up the old phone and just sold it a couple of days ago. Here's my problem: I can't find the folder containing my (old) camera roll photos so I can sync them to my new iPhone. I'm aware that iTunes doesn't back up camera roll photos, however I understand they are saved as part of the standard backup process. Are they included in the "iPod Photo Cache" and, if so, can I use this to copy them onto my new phone? Note that I was unaware until today that I can save camera roll photos on my PC using Windows Camera and Scanner or Adobe Photoshop; I'll start doing that tonight so I'll have them in a separate folder from now on. I'm running Windows Vista on my PC, FYI.
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way for me to save what's currently on my phone?
No. If you restore your new phone from a previous backup, all data on your phone will be erased & replaced with the data from your backup. However, if you don't want to do that you can see if this will recover the photos in question from your 3GS backup:

Photo Albums? I have Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Picture.... why?

I have 3 categories under my Photo albums on my iphone. Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Picture. Now looking at these three options shows 125 pictures in the Camera roll, 84 Pictures in the Photo Library, and 81 Pictures in the Picture option.... Now the problem I have is they are all the same pictures, just seems they are all in the Roll and some in the others. What I need to know is why? why purpose does this have, and how do I delete them from one, or will it delete them from all? would hate to have to think I have to delete them each 3 times... Not sure why it is like this but hoping the reason is simple and understandable. do different applications use pics from different categories? I am confused.

You certainly CAN create as many albums as you want. You do this by first creating the albums on your desktop, then syncing those albums to the iPhone. You can use Adobe Albums, but you don't need it.
If not you can actually use the My Pictures folder, but I don't recommend that. Instead, create a new folder in My Documents. I call mine "iPod Pictures" (because I sync them to my iPod also). In "iPod Pictures" create sub-folders; name each one with the name of an album. Now copy the pictures you want on the iPhone into the appropriate "album" sub-folder. I shrink them to 640x480 in the process to save memory on the iPhone, but this is optional. It's easiest to do this with a photo editor like Microsoft Photo or the one I prefer, Google Picasa. It is free at picasa.google.com.
Finally, put the iPhone in the dock and wait for it to appear in iTunes. Click on the iPhone in the left panel, then on the Photos tab. At the top there is a box labeled "Sync Photos From:" Click on the box and select the "iPod Pictures" folder. Then choose "All Photos" or "Selected Folders" as you prefer and sync. Each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
Any time you add or remove a folder or a photo in a folder the next time you sync the iPhone will be updated with the change.

Where are camera roll photos once I import them?

In anticipation of getting my new iPhone, I imported all my camera roll photos onto my iMac and see they show up under Last Import. However, I do not see them in Events. Where will these photos be found once I import more photos? I want to have them appear on the new iPhone.

Tell Apple, not us.

I found it a great chance for a clean out, given that I always back my photos up to iPhoto and therefore my System and Data backup for protection. Then I went to most recent and marked those I wished to keep on my phone as 'Favorites' and now have a nice clean folder of Favorites, which I will add to from 'Recently Added' and delete all the c*ap. Now I have a nice tidy phone, but still have all photos backed up on Mac. I don't use Photostream, as I would rather trust my own physical backup method. A great chance for a clean out. Thanks Apple!

Recover deleted Camera Roll photos?

I'm traveling on vacation, and during a sync, I inadvertently deleted about 20 photos. Of course they are photos I really want. I tried doing a restore from a backup, but that didn't work (I don't know if Camera Roll photos are even included in the backup/restore process for the iPhone). I've tried a couple of recovery programs - Klix and Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery - for Mac, and for Windows running Parallels. In all cases, the programs don't even see the iPhone. Does anyone have any suggestions for how recovery may be possible? I know retrieval of deleted items on a computer is far from perfect, but I've used the iPhone very little since I screwed up, and there is 17 GB available memory on my 32 GB phone, so I'm hopeful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Only one normal iPhone backup is kept by iTunes. It's actually an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up. While camera roll photos are included in the iPhone backup, deleting such photos on your phone & then syncing effectively removes these photos from your iPhone backup. The first thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. Photos in your iPhone camera roll should always be imported to your computer & never stored in your camera roll.

Is there a way to retrieve camera roll photos after failed backup

I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes. PLEASE help me.

The Camera Roll photos should have restored, as they are part of the backup, unless you had a corrupted backup. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Restore from Backup. If you are given a choice of backups choose one from before you replaced the phone.
However, the Camera Roll is not intended as a permanent store for photos; they should be transferred to a photo app on your computer or Photo Stream frequently, to avoid the situation you are now facing.

I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8). The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

All of my camera roll photos don't copy onto photo stream
