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.

  • How do I delete photos on iPad from camera roll without deleting from albums? If I do does it also delete from my mac photos?

    How do I delete photos off camera roll on iPad without deleting from other albums? Will this action also delete the photos off my mac?

    Album photo entries on the iPad are only pointers to the actual photo file which is stored in the Camera Roll. There is only one copy of the photo.
    Deleting a camera roll photo on the iPad will not delete the photo from your Mac.

    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

  • Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

    Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
    Any ideas/advice?

    Thanks for your comments.
    I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
    They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
    It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

  • HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Camera roll gone in iOS8. Why do i have two sets of photo in my iPhone?

    I have just got iOS8 on my iPhone 5s. I released "Camera Roll" its gone and the only place to find photo taken from my phone will either from "Events" or "Collections". It's near imposable to find photo from "Events" as it does not put my photo in the right order according to timeline.
    The problem with "Collections" its just not user friendly. Also, all my photo have two sets in "Collections". Is there any way that I can delete one set of my photo from "Collections"? What do I need to do on my iTunes, iPhoto and my iPhone? This will be must appreciated.
    Finally I really want to have "Camera Roll" back. Its really useless to have "Collections" as it sort out my photo via time. That makes a lot of space between photo when its rang by date. its too small to see when its range by year. So, it is really useless things to have. I prefer to have "Camera Roll" back.

    there seems to be two sets of Library files.
    You should have three different folders named "Library". They are
    <~/Library>, or the Library folder in your Home folder (aka, Library folder from user domain)
    </Library>, or the Library folder at the root level of your startup disk (aka, Library folder from local domain)
    </System/Library>, or the Library folder in the System folder (aka, Library folder from system domain)
    And under no circumstances should you even dream of deleting any one of them.
    Should this dream ever occur, you need to get cured by reading a basic book about Macs, eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…".

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

    Hi Susan. Try a reset: Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release buttons.

    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.

  • I have an an iPad3. Starting yesterday, when I try to attach a photo from my existing camera roll every photo is being rotated sideways. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Is anyone else having this problem? I usually attach photos from my existing camera roll when sending ecards, suddenly starting yesterday, all my photos are being rotated and coming up sideways! I use Blue Mountain.com for my ecards. I called their tech support line, they accessed my account and say they can do it no problem. It is my iPads problem!?? Any help out there. Please no tech speak; basic English only I am a newbie. Thanks for any help provided.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on.

    My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream on my iPhone. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on(iCloud).

    Not sure if you are referring to photos in the Camera Roll from before you turned Photo Stream on, but just in case you aren't aware, only new photos will go. Following quote is from: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
