How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

If these are albums, you created on your phone, using pics in your camera roll, you delete the pics from your camera roll & they will be deleted from the albums as well. The albums don't actually contain any photos, only pointers to the actual photos, which are in your camera roll.
So, the answer to your question is no.

    how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

    Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app.  When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

    I deleted photos from camera roll as well as photo streamer. How to recover photos?

    If the camera roll photos were on your device when you last backed it up, restoring the backup should recover them.  Deleted photo stream photos can't be recovered unless they were also in the camera roll.

  • With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

    With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

    If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up.  I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

  • How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too.  It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
    You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc.  But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?!  If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

    When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

    You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll to give me more storage

    I Upgraded to an iPhone 4 from a 3GS (mainly because it was a 99¢ promotion).  I have only a little over 1GB—maybe less—left and it doesn't have music on it yet.  I figured my photos are the answer but can't figure out how to delete them from the camera roll.  Any body out there know how?.  Also other ways of getting more room on my 4?  I know a 4s comes with more unless someone gives one away, or another 99¢ promotion comes along I can't afford it on a fixed income.
    THanks!

  • I Want to delete photos from camera roll that I saved from a certain app called Ifunny (App is a funny picture sharing community) How do delete them completely from my iPod

    Theres this app called ifunny which lets you upload and save funny photos and ever since i got the app it made an album in my pictures called ifunny and inside are all the photos that i saved (Like instagrams save to camera roll option) What i would like to know is how can i delete those photos (375 to be exact) from the camera roll and of the album.

    To delete the pictures, go to your photos app and press albums. Press edit at the top right hand side press the circle with the minus button and then press delete. To delete the pictures from your camera roll, go on the camera roll album, press edit, press the photos to delete, and press the delete button at the bottom right hand corner.

  • On 8.1, how do I delete photos from camera roll but not from photo stream?

    I recently updated to iOS 8.1 on my 5S and was happy to get camera roll back, but unlike in the past, when I delete a picture from camera roll, it also deletes it from photo stream.  This makes no sense; I want to delete it from my phone while keeping it in photo stream - is there something I'm not doing?  Is it a problem with 8.1?  Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

  • I would like to know how to move photos from camera roll to other albums. I don't want to leave all my photos in camera roll. I wan't to do this using a PC.

    I recently bought a new iPad and have questions about photos. I would like to move photos out of camera roll into other albums. I don't just want to copy them into other folders. I will be using a PC not a Mac.
    I can view the photos in camera roll on my PC but can only back them up or delete them. I cannot see the other folders.
    Thanks.

    In terms of windows explorer/camera wizard you won't see synced folders/albums that are on the iPad. You can only add photos to albums/folders that you synced from your computer by adding the photos to the folders on your computer and then re-syncing - on the iPad you can only add/copy photos to albums that you've created directly on the iPad.
    So you will need to copy the photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then organise them on your computer into folders and then re-sync them.

  • HT201302 how to backup photo besides camera roll? (iPad 2, 4.3.3)

    I've seen many post said plug in your devices, right click and import, Thats only import my photo in camera roll, i've created few albums inside, and how to backup those albums i created?

    Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

  • How do I place photos in a "sub album" and delete original from camera roll while keeping the copy in the sub album?

    I'm able to create as many albums as I want under the main camera roll. from what I can see, I can add photos from my camera roll to an album but the two images are connected. so what happens is when I try to create albums according to event or subject, if I wanted to delete the original from the camera roll, it also deletes the copied image. What gives? Is there a way to have multiple albums on iphone where images won't be deleted?

    No, the actual photos always remain in the camera roll.  Albums only contain pointers to selected photos in the camera roll.  They are like music playlists.  If you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlist that contained it.  And you can't keep songs in a playlist that are not in your music library.

  • Can't delete photos from camera roll

    I took several photos over the weekend and downloaded them to iPhoto last night. I chose the 'delete photos' option at the end, but today some of the photos were still there. I synced my iPhone just a few minutes ago, and iPhoto offered to download the handful that were still on the phone. I did, and chose to replace the duplicates in iPhoto with the versions on the phone. I again chose 'delete photos' but the photos were not removed from the phone. Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks!

    To delete large numbers of pictures from your Camera Roll, use the Image Capture app.
    Select the pictures you want to delete and click the red stop sign at the bottom.
    This might not work if you select too many pictures. Try selecting under 500 pictures each time.
    The delete function might fail after one or two times. You need to reconnect the iPhone so the app can reload the Camera Roll.
    Used it to delete 3.500 travel photos from my iPhone.
