IOS5 problems accessing Camera Roll photo's

Having recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 I find that I am now unable to access the photo's taken with the iPhone's camera and stored in the Camera Roll Album. When I go to the Albums page the Camera Roll Album is the top one on the list, but it's covered by an "Albums" headline that also has an "edit" button. The Camera Roll Album underneath can be seen but it cannot be accessed, it will not respond to touch. So how can I take a photo with the iPhone then email it if accessing the Album is blocked. Is there a new setting with iOS 5 that I am missing?
Thanks for any help / suggestions.......Peter

I have not had this in iOS5, but this was a problem in iOS4.
At the teim the fix was to close the camera app, and then close it in the multitasking bar:
double tap home button,
hold the photos app icon till it shows the cross in corner,
tap the cross.
Then restart the photos app.
If that doesn't work you may need to do a full retsore of the iPhone.

My iPad mini, can only access camera roll photos. When posting on facebook. I can not access shared photos from my apple devices.

problem with iPad mini and iPhone 5c and Facebook app. I can only access camera roll, when posting photos, I can not see shared photos. Which I could before the previous 3 updates. I did speak to Apple support but they said Facebook was behind. i think over 6 months later I still have the same problem!

Thank you. Do you have any idea about the 5c, which is only 2 weeks old. Before this I had an iPhone 4, and you could choose which collection you wanted to post from,
but my 5c is also only showing camera roll, pehich is rather annoying to say the least!

Problems in accessing Camera Roll images using HTML 5 technology

Hello,
I have developed a application using HTML 5 technology. This application is supportable to iPhone 4S. In this application, if we try to upload an image from "Camera Roll" it's not returning properly. The result image is rotated, squeezed and in different format. But this is working perfectly if we upload the image from other folders like Photo Stream.
No idea why the images from Camera Roll is not returning in proper format.
Your help and support is much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Abdul
I've looked at your app and really like the way it accesses Camera Roll - I would be interested in learning more about this project - is there any way I can get in touch with you? Do you have another web site ?

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:

My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?, My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?

I haven't had a problem until I updated my iPad. Now my camera roll photos and videos won't show up in iMovie. I updated the App and shut down my iPad. I would love some help. Thanks.

Go to SETTINGS--> PRIVACY and then PHOTOS; make sure iMovie is set to "on".
Should work then. (Did for me).

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.

I am having a problem relating camera roll album bugs

i am having a problem relating camera roll album bugs

Can you trell us more about it?
If the camera roll is covered partly by your screen, close the photo app, open the multitask bar, tap on the photo app icon unitl it starts to shake, then hit the little minus icon to close the app completely.
Return to your home screen and start the photo app again, you should be able to select the camera roll again.
You can also reset the phone to get it working again.

Whatsapp can only access camera roll

Why is Whatsapp only able to access camera roll and not other albums?

Seemingly a Whatsapp issue, that you can work around copying your photo in the Photos app then pasting in Whatsapp.

Cant access camera roll

after picking a picture in camera roll and txting it...I can not access camera roll again because the topof the phone where it says "albums" comes up lower - thereby covering the camera roll. I can see it, since the "album" is see through, but I can not access it. The only way it fixes itself is if I reboot the phone every time.

Seems to be a known bug in the firmware, until it will be solved in a future update, you can also bring up the Multitask bar, tap on the photo app until it shakes and hit the little "minus" icon to close the app. After that it should be working again without having to the reset the device.

Any way to open/retrieve encrypted Camera Roll photos

I had to restore my iphone 3GS.....is there a way to open/retrieve the Camera Roll photos that were on this phone? I regularly sync'd this phone, with "encrypted backup" enabled.
I have since purchased a new iPhone4 and want to restore the 3GS encrypted backup (camera roll) to the iPhone 4.

I'm sure it was the right backup since that was the only backup I ever did.
Perhaps the iPod Touch issue which I brought it in for the troubleshooting later that day.. also caused it to backup the camera roll pictures up to a point too (The month and a half where I'm missing the other photos)?
My device issue was that most notifications went missing and the inability for my iPod Touch to update any of my apps. It would show waiting/loading and then just return to a normal app icon like it had finished, but instead the update never occurred. The Apple specialist who helped me seemed puzzled and the final solution employed which worked was updating me to iOS 5.
I had tried restoring to factory settings and reinstalling previously to going to the Apple store for help. It only fixed my problems for a week, before they returned.
I do hope tho' I'm not SOL and the rest of the data is hidden in my backup..

How to copy non-camera roll photos from iphone

Hi
I have several hundred photos on iphone that I've lost on my laptop after hard drive failure. Apple store helped to copy camera roll photos to CD but can't help with the others. I REALLY want to get copies of these, even if they're not quite top resolution.
Any suggestions about ways to copy photo folders off iphone? Battery problems mean I ned to do this quickly so iphone can be wiped for testing/software reinstallment.
Many thanks
Sue

Sue,
When you plug your phone into your Windows computer Windows should prompt you what application do you want to use to import the photos from your "digital camera" that you just plugged into your computer. It will display a list of compatible applications. Pick one, when it opens it should show the photos on the phone/camera and allow you to import them. Hope this helps!

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

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.

How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?

Hi,
I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your input guys!
//Richard

Only if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.
