TS3989 Cannot get pictures from camera roll to photo stream on my iPhone

I have tried everything.  I have picture taken about 2 weeks ago on my iPhone that I can't get from the camera roll to the photo stream  I want them on my iPad  through the upload to iCloud. I have tried closing the camera, am on wifi and have settings set correctly and have my iPhone charging.  And then I just added a picture took all the steps and this picture DID get to photo stream.  Hoe do I get the other groupmof photos there?

Only pix taken after photo stream is turned on are added to photo stream (as well as camera roll). Older pix are not.
To get the older ones to a computer, sync using USB. You can also take a screen shot in the device when viewing an older picture (press home and power buttons together, quickly).  This will add the photo to the stream, but the disadvantage is that the resolution will be that of the screen, which is much less than the original picture.

  • How do I get pic from camera roll to photo stream

    How I can move pic from camerea roll to photo stream for iCloud to pick up?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Only photos taken after enabling PhotoStream will be added.
    The best way is probably to do it in iPhoto when you sync your pictures, if you are really desperate to do it on the phone I guess you could take a screenshot.

  • Deleting pictures from camera roll and photo stream but not from other folders

    Hey everyone,
    I am new to I phone and using iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2.
    I like to keep my photo folder organised and sorted. For example I created different folders on my iPhone for wallpapers, my personal pics and work pics.
    Now after adding all these pics to their respective folders i deleted them from Camera roll and my photo stream ( thinking that they would still be in their folders) and now I am screwed, because everything is deleted  .
    Thankfully, I have the backup, but please can anyone help me to understand the difference between camera roll and my photo stream and how could i keep all my pics in different folders and just not in camera roll or my photo stream.

    The way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
    I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
    The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer.

    My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in came roll and photo stream come back?

    Photos in the camera roll are included in your backup and should be recovered by restoring the backup to a replacement phone.  Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you reconnect to photo stream you will get back any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.

  • How do I transfer photos from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that they sync w/ my PC?

    I want to take pics w/ the phone and then view them on my PC. I can't seem to get the photos and video to move from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that I can work with them on my PC. I can move pics on my PC into the photostream upload folder and those appear quicklly on my phone in the photo stream album.

    How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer.

  • How do I copy photo from camera roll to photo stream?

    I've install IOS 5 and set up iCloud.  I now have a Photo Stream album on the phone.  How do I copy a photo from Camera Roll to Photo Stream album?

    I copied some photos to the Photo Stream / Uploads folder on my PC and they did go to my iPhone.  However, they also came back to the Photo Stream / My Photo Stream folder.  So now I have two copies of the photos.  Do I have to keep two copies of each photo on every device?  That doesn't seem too smart.
    I was also trying to copy a photo into the Photo Stream album on the iPhone and, somehow, that photo did get back to my PC.  However, I have no idea how it happened?  Any help there, Apple?

  • Move photo's from camera roll to photo stream

    I am confused. I have a number of photo's in Camera Roll. They apparantly do not back up to iCloud as part of Photo Stream. Is there a way to move them from Camera Roll to Photo Stream so they will be available to my other devices, or do I have to manually copy them to my desktop to make them available? If the latter, what is the best process for this?

    Only photos taken on your phone after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded.  It will not transfer photos that were in Camera Roll before turning it on.  If you want full resolution pictures to be available for your old photos, import them to your computer and put them in your upload folder (assuming your computer has iCloud an Photo Stream enabled).  Also, Photo Stream isn't a backup service; photos are only kept there for 30 days allowing your enough time to download them to your other devices.
    I have images/videos which I saved from Messages. Even with Photo Stream enabled, it does not appear possible to move anything from Camera Roll. Once there, it appears to be stuck there.

    Work around: first view the pic on your camera roll, then snapshot it by using home and sleep button at same time. Your pic is at photo stream now
    Two problems with that are that the images are not captured at their original resolution. Also, this does absolutely no good for videos which are saved from Messsages.

  • HT4890 Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Photos taken on your device (which are saved to the camera roll) after enabling photo stream are automatically added (when connected to wifi, the camera app is closed, and you have at least 20% battery power remaining).  If you want to add earlier photos you'll have to either email them one by one to yourself, then open the email and save them back to your camera roll (which will now upload to photo stream because it is considered a new photo), or you can send them all at once using an app like PhotoSync.  With this app you can transfer them wirelessly to your computer, then delete them from your camera roll on your phone, the send them back to the camera roll from your computer (which will again cause them to be seen as new photos).  (iTunes will not transfer photos to your camera roll so you can't just import them and sync them back.)

  • Pictures not always uploaded from Camera Roll to Photo Stream

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a "not so constant" behavior of Photo Stream.
    I noticed that sometimes not all the photos taken with the IPhone are uploaded to Photo Stream. Given that this upload may be poosible only if the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, is there a way to force the synch between Camera Roll and Photo Stream?
    Thanks.

    Well, last night I tried to:
    disable Photo Stream in iCloud settings on the iPhone
    "delete" the whole iCoud account on the iPhone and then log in again
    reset Photo Stream in the advanced options of my account on icloud.com
    This caused all the pictures of the iPhone Photo Stream gallery and on iCloud.com to be deleted, so I restarted from a clean condition. Then I took three photos, but only the second and the third were uploaded to Photo Stream on iCloud, to the Photo Stream gallery of the iPhone and subsequently downloaded to the Photo Stream folder of my PC.
    Still puzzled...

  • HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

    80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
    I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
    When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

    Hi JM,
    Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
    Sorry....

    How do I move photos from camera roll to photo stream

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only adds photos taken after photostream activation, it doesn't do video at all.
    To transfer photos from your camera roll taken before activation to your Mac, connect the device by USB and import your photos and videos through iPhoto.

  • How do I get pictures from camera roll to my online shop

    I can post pictures from my camera roll to FB with the FB app.  How do I get my pics to my online etsy shop?

    You would need to contact them. If there's an app then you can use that. If it's via a site that uses flash then you may be out of luck.

  • IPhone 4 - Move Pictures from "Camera Roll" to "Photo Library"

    Title says it all. How do I copy images from my iPhone "Camera Roll" to my "Picture Library"?

    The idea is photos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Do you leave photos captured by any other digital camera on the camera - the photos captured by the camera are not imported by your computer?
    Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on that alone for these photos. If you restore your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed and there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data and these photos were not imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, guess what?

  • Retrieving photographs from camera roll before photo stream - usb not working

    Hi,
    I have downloaded iCloud and I'm now using photostream. I can retrieve all pictures taken after I have done this but I cannot get the pictures off my camera roll before I started using photo stream. When I plug my iPhone into my laptop auto play does not open even though the phone will charge through the laptop. When I looked into this further it is coming up code 19 and my device in incomplete or damaged.
    Can anyone advise me on how to get my pictures taken before photo stream was enabled off the camera roll without auto play? I have read discussions saying to take screen shots so the photos go into photo stream but this will take forever and loose the quality.
