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:

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

  • How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me.

    How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.

    Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:

  • HT3965 how can I find out if my Iphone has been jailbroken, I think my ex did somthing to my phone to spy on me

    How can I find out if my Iphone has been jailbroken?!, I think my ex has installed spyware to spy on me, an I have red that the iphone has to be jb for spyware to work. Can anybody help me?

    NPR just ran a story today on how abusers use smartphones to stalk and control domestic abuse victims,
    Check out the story at National Public Radio: http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/09/15/346149979/smartphones-are- used-to-stalk-control-domestic-abuse-victims.
    Bottom line: trust your gut and if you think you are being stalked like this or if you think an ex knows too much, then you should turn off your phone and go somewhere safe until you can get some help. You could try the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 .
    I hope the snark I see in some earlier comments as unhelpful to the specific (and serious) question asked.
    Good luck, miss magik.

    how can I find the Image number of a particular photo in the Photos app included with iPad Air?

    Hello yamacutta,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The Photos app will not show you the actual file name of the photo.  However when you go through the image import process on your computer, you should be able to see both the thumbnail of the photo, as well as the filename of the image.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • HT4061 How can i find my phone with iphone 4 with ime number

    How can you find my iphone 4 with my IME number?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

  • How can i get my video back to camera roll

    hey guys
    recently i tried to mail a friend a video of mine  ..anyway  the video got to him in  a greyed gif !!  idk how it just did
    so am tryin to send it in another way the problem is i already deleted it from my camera roll
    when ever i open my message i can see my video and i can play it  !!  but i can't save it back to my camera roll
    it gives me only 2 options (copy/paste)   and that's it  !   So how can i get it back ^^ 
    if uploadin a screenshot helps , please tell me to do so .

    That's good but it is a lot simpler than that: Open iTunes, and connect your iPhone. Then go to your Phone, and choose "photoS" which should be at the very end. Select a folder on your Puter where you want to hold photos to be shared on your phone... and drag the movie mack in there. Notice that there is a selection that says "Inclide Videos" - So, drag the movie back into your shared folder, then hit SYNC - Boom, movie is back in  your phone!

  • How can I synch my wifes old iPhone 4 to my iPhone 3 info?

    My wife just got a new 4s and gave me her old 4g. I transferred service with AT&T and was told to go home and synch the phone to my old 3G info through iTunes. Trouble is, when I plug in my wife's 4G it defaults to her old information, even though it shows my phone number on the account. How can I synch the 4G to my old info from my 3G and bring in my settings and information. Do I need to go into settings on the 4G and do it manually? Thanks. Mike
    PS: I am logged into my account on iTunes when I try to synch.

    On your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute or so, then connect to iTunes, right-click in the left device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select your 3G backup. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content to your iPhone 4.

  • How can I view / access an old iPhone backup on iCloud before deleting it?

    I have an old iphone back up on icloud and need to delete it to free up space BUT can't access it to see what is contained and if I want / need to keep any of it.

    Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
    As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
    You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from  old iPhone iCloud backup.
    Good luck to you.
