Camera roll : 1 photo but 4Go in Settings

Hi,
I have only one photo in my iPad camera roll (3813â×â2742, 3Mo), but in Settings/Use Photos size is 4,1 Go. When I click on it in order to display details, I have:
camera roll : 4,0 Go
library : 538Ko
Photo flow : 3,5 Mo
It's incredible !
"OK, perhaps it's a bug" I thought. So, I swipe the camera roll in order to delete it. The screen came back to Settings/Use. And Photo is still 4,1 Go, and I'm no more able to see details on Photo use (when I click on it, nothing...). I have to go to the launchpad, and go back to Settings/Use to be able to see Photo size details.
How can I free this 4 Go ?
iPad 4th generation, iOS 6.1.3
Language : French
Region format : France
Photo flow not enabled

HI,
I assume you might have found the solution already. But if you have not and for other people.
install the app IEXPLORER on your PC/Mac and connect your ipad/iphone/ipod when asked.
the goto the DCIM folder and open each folder. If you find files with a name like ALLPATH, then you delete that folder.
it seems that happened when you try to import photos using the Gizmo to connect SD cards.
also under another folder Thumbnails, you will have to do the same.
I Just did it today and have recovered around 380MB. And it were all photos which. I tried to import, but failed.
it seems that when ypu import and fail and then try agin. It keeps the old files and doesn't delete it.
hopefully it helps all the people there.
I Just don't understand apple resolving this error

You cannot see photos backed up in iCloud on your computer.
Camera Roll photos backed up to iCloud are still in your Camera Roll on your iPhone.
You need to regularly sync the photos to your computer. (then you can see them on your computer).

then delete them from your Camera Roll.
You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

Camera roll is empty, but usage claims space is being used

Hi all. I hope someone can help me with this.
My camera roll contains no items. I upload all new pictures and videos to OneDrive and then delete them from the camera roll to save the hassle of connecting my iPhone 5s to my Mac to copy them.
I've never lost items using this technique; that's not the issue here. The issue is when I go to Settings>General>Usage>Photos & Camera the camera roll is apparently using 63.4MB of storage space on my device.
This also happened after I migrated from my 4s to my 5s. My camera roll was empty but was allegedly using over 700MB of storage. I attempted to resolve this by using an iCloud backup and omitting the camera roll, which resolved the issue but caused more serious problems, one of which was preventing me from syncing music to my device.
I have a 64GB device so I'm not very short on storage, but I don't like the idea of something taking space on my device for no good reason (that's why I don't use Photo Stream anymore, by the way). Besides, 700MB was far too much to lose for something that was, for all intents and purposes, empty.
I eventually decided to reset my 5s entirely and set it up as a new device. This thankfully reset the camera roll back to zero bytes, but it's once again started culminating seemingly redundant storage usage. Thanks to iCloud most of my apps have retained their data, so I'm not too bothered about having to do this, but I'd rather not have to make it a habit every time my empty camera roll takes up close to a gigabyte of storage.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Can anything be done about it?

I tried to do this:
Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera > swipe on Camera Roll and tap Delete.
But it does not give me an option to delete - no Edit button, no swiping Delete button. Is that a glitch or am I missing something?
Also, I read about iExplorer and tried a demo - there were quite a few files under a folder labeled DMIV or something...tried to delete but they wanted me to buy the software before I could. Don't know if this is a scam or if there are hidden photo files which is what it seems like.

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...

My iPhone 5 camera roll is empty, but under usage says 3.1GB - how can I delete?

I can't download the latest iPhone software b/c my Camera Roll is taking up 3.1GB of space, but it shouldn't be as I have only about 10 photos on my camera roll. Photo stream is off, as well as photo sharing. Any help would be appreciated!

Can't select any photos in camera roll or photo album... help!

I have a iphone 3Gs on 4.2.1
If I go to my camera roll or any photo album, I can enter but if I select an image in the camera roll or photo album it just automatically closes and goes back to the home screen. Hard reboot, reboot is still the same.
Any suggestions as to the cause?
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

How can I put my icloud photos to camera roll or photo stream?

How can i put the icloud picture into camera roll or photo stream. Any ideas?? On my old iphone ive deleted everything.

Hello Ozzie94,
Thanks for the additional information. The camera roll is designed for photos taken on your device, or saved images from Mail and other applications. Photos synced from a computer are organized into their own album(s):
View photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3d267610
- Camera Roll—photos and videos you took on iPhone, or saved from an email, text message, webpage, or screenshot
- Shared photos and videos—Photos and videos that you’ve shared with iCloud Photo Sharing or that others have shared with you (see iCloud Photo Sharing)
- Photos and videos synced from your computer (see Sync with iTunes)
Additionally, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com

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.

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

Camera roll is empty, but ...

My camera roll is empty, but when I go to "General" > "About" it says I have 479 photos. I have the iPhone 6 and just updated to iOS 8.1.3, but I think this problem occurred before that.
I do have one other album on there, but there are only 102 photos on that - forgot to mention.
So I'm very confused as to where these extra non-existent photos are coming from. It should say that I only have 102 photo's shouldn't it? Where did these other 377 photos come from?
I cleared all my whatsapp conversations as well and that did nothing.

Glad Im not the only one! Same thing is happening to me.. Says 2 photos are in the roll when there is none.. If I add one, it says 3.. happened since upgrade to 3.1.. nothing seems to make this right again... Those "ghost" photos don't appear when syncing with iPhoto either...

Camera Roll is empty but it says that i have (7) pictures

My Camera Roll is empty, but it reads that i have sven pictures. When i take a pictures it reads that i have 8 pictures not one.
This has been happening since the upgrade to 3.1

Unable to view camera roll in photos app

Trying to view camera roll in "photos app" and the greyed area and title "Albums" is covering up, over top of the Camera Roll area so I cannot select it to view it?
I can view the camera roll in my camera app no problem but not in the Photos app that came with Iphone 4. any suggestions?

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud. Should there be an icon there? Do I need to install another icon?

I'm not totally sure I understand what you are asking or expecting to see.
You will only find your Photo Stream photos in iCloud, not the camera roll photos. What I mean is that any older photos that you have in the camera roll will not appear in the photo stream. Only photos that you have taken with the iPad, after you turned photo stream on, appear in the photo stream.
You can create a shared photo stream album with older camera roll photos, but the camera roll itself is not in iCloud.com.
Where are you looking in iCloud to see these photos?
