    Hello westbrkk,
    this is an user-to-user forum, so unfortunately we won't be able to tell you why.

  • Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

    Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
    So this is a 2 part question:
    1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
    2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
    Thanks, Janis

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • HT4847 I am only backing up camera roll and a my media app which are 890 MB and 414 MB, i backup everynight why is it full it says my backup size is 4.7 GB when I only have those 2 things?

    The back up is supposed to be a rolling back up and therefore may still contain data from previous back ups. To free up space you may wish to delete the back up and start again.

  • When trying to attach, the camera roll appears.

    WHen trying to attach, the camera roll appears

    If you are talking about the Camera Roll appearing when you attach your iPad 2 to a computer that is normal if there are photos in the Camera Roll. In this case the computer thinks that you have attached a camera.
    Does iTunes not see the iPad?

  • After updating iOS 6 in my iPod Touch 4th Gen, my Synced photos from computer are all gone. The remaining pictures are only in the Camera Roll. HELP THANKS :)

    Hello! I updated my itouch 4g with iOS 6 using iTunes at Windows 7. After updating, my musics and videos are still there but my synced photos from the computer are lost. The only remaining photos are from the Camera Roll. I lost 4000 photos. What will I do to restore them? Thanks for thise who will help :)

    You need to obtain the synced photos from where you obtained them the first time. Synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of an update or restore.

  • No Photos are saving in the camera roll anymore (original iphone)

    This is a new problem, but the first one Ive ever had with this phone. Yesterday, whenever I would take a picture, it showed that it was taken in the Photo Albums section. But when I went into the Camera Roll's folder, there were no pictures.
    I synced the phone today (updating to the newest software that was recently released), and I'm still having the same problem. I've taken 4 pictures since the update, but the camera roll shows "No Photos".
    (For additional information, I do have 50% memory or more free... so I know it's not a memory issue. I have also restarted my phone)
    Any suggestions? or similar issues?

    I think I may have found what “triggers” this. I noticed that my last successfully saved image on my iPhone was IMG_0999.JPG.
    I’m guessing that the bug in the iPhone is that the photo counter doesn’t handle image numbers greater than 999.
    After the restore procedure described here, I’m guessing the image number goes back to 0001, but that the problem will reappear 998 images from now.

    Re: Photo taken do not appear in Photos on iPhone anymore !
    Well appears it had nothing to do with iTunes indeed.
    Read quite a few threads of disappearing photos issues and was really not thrilled at the prospect of restoring and going through the process of reinstalling apps, settings etc... Cannot stand going through command lines either!
    Instead I tried the http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ application and deleted as instructed the .MISC folder inside the /DISC/DCIM folder.
    Worked!!!
    Interesting thing: right after that my pictures counter started at IMG_00001 etc... which could suggest indeed a 'bug' with the photo counter that reaches a limit and must be manually reset to 00000

  • Why can I only see my Camera Roll when uploading photos?

    Trying to upload pictures to Facebook but when I click the camera I can only see the camera roll, can't see any of my albums.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you go to system preferences and then displays you'll get all the options for adjusting what you are asking for. I also use a TV for the same purpose you are describing. I find it works best to leave it in the manner you are describing. Mirroring just duplicates everything unless of course that is the effect you are going for. You can also adjust the positioning of the monitors in the relation to each other weather you want one on the left or right or which one to be the main and secondary. Then all you will need to do is swipe the media player onto the other monitor and then your main monitor will be free to use while you watch your videos on the other. Essentially, your desktop area will span your computer monitor and the TV screen you can also change the desktop image on both screens to different images they don't need to be the same. I watch a lot of TV shows I have in itunes. This way I can watch TV and still use my computers main monitor for the internet or whatever.

  • HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

    My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    Again, the photo sync is one way.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
    Not good.  You can e-mail the photos from your iphone.  You do not need to have phoe service for this.  The iphone uses wi-fi.  The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

  • HT1386 I deleted all my photos in the Camera Roll folder,I created separate folders containing all my pisctures. When I sync my iPhone it shows that all the pictures are loaded. But nothing displays on my phone?

    Hey Guys,
    I need some advice. I had about 9000 pitures and photos in my camera roll folder.
    I wanted to manage all these pictures into separate folders for easier access.
    I imported all the pictures onto my pc, and created and managed the pics.
    I synced the phone and excluded the photos,as advised on the site.
    The I disconnected the phone, connected again and included the pictures.
    On the coclour tab it indicates that all the pictures are there, after syncing,
    but on my phone, nothing appears.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way of importing my pictures
    onto the phone and keeping the separate folders?
    Thanks,

    If you don't find an iTunes backup as suggested above, another possibility is that the phone was setup to automatically back up to iCloud. You can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage to see if your device name is listed there. If it is, the section titled "How do I restore an iCloud Backup if my device is already set up for use?" in the following link gives directions on how to resore it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
    Also, I'm sorry to hear you lost 5 years of pictures. Having them in one place (as you unfortunately found out) is not a good idea as all kinds of things can happen including loss of the phone. If you have a computer it is a good idea to periodically import them to the computer where you can see that they have successfully transferred to a second location. Following is instructions on how to do that if you want to in the future: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

  • Mail showing more messages being received than are received

    I have been having something odd happen lately. When I open Mail, it shows incoming messages, just a bit ago it was 12, but nothing appeared in my inbox. Occasionally I catch subjects in the status bar, but it is too quick to see. I also have an iPhone that I receive mail on, et even if I have read 1 or 2 messages on my phone, then open mail, it still pulls like 6. I do not have A spam filter turned on, I tried turning it on but nothing appeared and it seems like I get all my mail, but I am curious about this issue, is anyone else seeing it?

    Hi all,
    I finally solved my problem and felt like I should share my experience. The idea of changing the sorting/listing settings of Mail.app was indeed a good option. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the issue on my iPhone or any other device/application accessing my data. Besides that, I didn't feel comfortable with this solution, since it didn't really fix my problem.
    So here is what I did. I downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird and set up my MobileMe account. After successfully retrieving all IMAP data I saved a copy of my complete IMAP folder structure locally. Afterwards I checked if I really had all messages and folders and deleted my data on MobileMe. Next step was uploading all my local messages/folders back to MobileMe again. I had about 3,5GB to transfer and it took me almost a night to finish this process.
    After successfully transferring the data, I opened Mail.app and my all other devices/applications accessing that particular MobileMe account and had everything re-synchronized and Voilà Thunderbird transferred the messages with the received date correctly and Mail.app and other devices/applications displayed and sorted it accordingly. I deleted Thunderbird's email client and its associated files and folders, but I guess that application should be a keeper anyway.
    So far I had the impression that this was all caused, because I transferred my local saved messages/folders to MobileMe through Microsoft Entourage. That application transmitted the date I transferred the message instead of using the message's header date settings.
    I hope this helped.
    Cheers!

  • When you use icloud to back up your iPhone does it delete the camera roll after 30 days or just the photo stream?

    I have my phone backed up to icloud but for unnamed reasons I cannot restore from icloud back up at the moment. I'm worried about my pictures. Will the back up of the camera roll delete after 30 days or is that just the photo stream?

    The statement is directly from Apple and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Keep in mind, pictures showing in PhotoStream does not mean they will be there when a new device is added, only that they have been downloaded by the device they are displaying on.
    In other words, if a new iDevice is added to the account, it will only download the last 1,000 pictures taken in the last 30 days, not every picture showing on other iDevices in PhotoStream.

  • I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me. They show up in the camera roll and then I put them in separate albums. My camera roll when I try to open it freezes and the thumbprints are a jumbled and blurred. This is on my ipad.

    I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me on my ipad. They show up in the camera roll, but when I open the camera roll the thumbprints are jumbled and blurred and frozen. I can't get out of there unless I shut my ipad down and restart it. I can use other parts of my ipad ,but my camera roll remains frozen....help!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.
