Camera Roll - deleting photos

Hello
Would it be possible to help me out? I have over 500 photos on my iphone and want to create some space on the phone itself? I have enabled back up to icloud and the size of the current back up for photos is 5.3gb. However, i am really nervous about deleting the photos off the phone as I really do not want to loose them. If they are backed up to icloud are they safe? If I wanted to bring a few back to the phone out of the icloud how do I do this? My PC is now out of action so I don't have the option of plugging in a syncing. Any advice / help would really be appreciated - as you can probaly tell I am not the most techy so please be gentle with me in the replies!

You need to put them somewhere. A computer is the ideal location, as that is the way the iPhone is intended to be used. You can enable Photo Stream, which is temporary storage. You can create a Picasa account on Google, then buy the MyPics app, and use it to upload your photos to Picasa Web storage. Or you can install Dropbox app and copy them to Dropbox. But not having a computer severely limits your options.

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?

TS4062 On my Iphone I have 1-Camera roll, two Photo Libraries, and 1 delete. I cannot get rid of the Photo albums off the phone. I cannot take things off my Iphone using the itunes because it doesn't pull the Iphone up.

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

How to delete iPhone camera roll's photos in new version Photos for Mac

Hi,
Before upgrade to new version Photos for Mac. I was using iPhoto + Photo Stream to manage all the photos took from my iPhone.
Photo Stream will upload all new photos to iPhoto; when I connect iPhone to my mac, I can use iPhoto to delete my iPhone's camera roll's photos to clear the storage space.
After I upgraded to Photos; the Photo Stream still running well, all new photos also upload to Photos' library, however, when I connect iPhone to my mac.
Photos doesn't offer me any method to delete my iPhone camera roll's photos.
What I can find is "Import Selected" or "Import All" and "Delete items after import" these functions are doesn't help.
Because, all the photos are already imported by Photo Stream, when I click "Import All", all the imported photos will "RE-IMPORT" again and the photos will duplicate in my library.
This is also a BUGS in Photos because in old version iPhoto when I import a photo which has already imported before, the software will pop-up a Dialogue Box to ask me options to choose between "Skip" or "Overwrite" or "Duplicate".
Do anyone know how to delete the iPhone camera roll's photos by using new version Photos?
Thank you very much.

Hello cleofigaro
You can delete from both places if you want. All you would need to do is view the photo that you do not want and then tap the trashcan icon in the lower right hand corner. If you want to do more photos at once, when looking a multiple photos tap the Select button in the upper right hand corner and then tap the photos and videos that you want deleted and then hit the trashcan to remove them

HT1535 I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

your photos are in events -
the most common cause of not seeing the events is bad camera dates or event sort being wrong so you are looking in the wrong place - see the view menu ==> sort events to correct sort - if the camera date is off select a photo and right click and show event to find it - then use the adjust time and date command to correct it
and you can drag photos to the desktop - what happens when you do? probably a better work flow with more flexibility is to select the photo(c) and export them (file menu ==> expoprt) to a desktop folder

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

I got a nee iphone, i backed up everything and restored it into mu new iphone, but the pictures didn't restore so i did it manually but now on my phone i got different albums icloud photo stream and camera roll. 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
Thanks,

How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
Cheers,

I3 os4 - i4s os5 Albums gone - Cam roll missing photos

ITunes 10.5 pc
THE StORY:
3G phone-------------
Spent hours sorting 4000 pics on 3G os4 ready for 4s os5 upgrade.
- created 9 albums from pics on camera roll
- Noticed photo library gets larger as I do this.
- on iPhone, manually delete photos in Cam Roll to avoid copies in 3 places (goal: Present only in Photo Library and Albums since these are linked by design. Who wants a bunch of dup pics, crikey. 1 less is still better right?
- in iTunes, (based on genius direction) right click phone icon, create backup. (the theory was a snapshot of current phones state before upgrade to 4s)
- synced phone - (had some app upgrades/pics to account for)
Q?. How do I know if pics are getting backed up some place when doing a sync?
4S-----------
Goal - Put new data on new phone.
- plug in 4S. Right click phone icon, restore from backup option. Select most recent date.
- complete restore. Phone restarts. Run through setup. Complete. Use phone! Yay!
PROBLEM:
3G
Cam roll 4251 pics
Photo library 792 pics = 10 albums (that took hours to create)
4S
Camera Roll 4251 pics
No Photo Library and no albums. @&$! Really?
- did I just lose 792 of my favorite pics including 262 pics of my fiancé makin funny faces!?
- lame. Please help.
Q?. How do I retrieve all my pics w/o losing changes made to new 4s
- FYI I can still see the albums and photo album on the old 3G phone. Afraid to hook it back up to iTunes in fear of losing them, did they. It get backed up some how?!!!

I better summarize.
...old 3G iPhone.
1. Created a backup of:
Camera Roll 4251 pics
Photo Library 792 pics consisting of 10 albums.
New 4S
1. Restored from backup.
2. Result: Camera Roll 4251 pics
No Photo Library and no albums. They went missing, how?!
- did I just lose 792 of my most important pictures?
Any insight appreciated.
1. How do I get the albums from my old phone backed up if I ran the backup function before upgrade to 4s with apparently no luck?
2. Additionally, if I could somehow get the pics backed up, how do get them onto my now already restored 4s where only a camera roll is present?

PhotoStream, Camera Roll deletes not working

I'm fully up to date on both iOS and OS X
Since 7's release a few bizarre things have been happening
If I delete a photo from Camera Roll, the photo reappears a few minutes later. I have to delete a photo 4-5 times before it stops coming back
In addition, photos never appear on PhotoStream until I sync with iTunes.
Most likely hugs that should be corrected, but wondering if anyone has had similar issues and if there's a fix (short of resetting the device)
Thanks!

That was bugs...not hugs
How do you edit posts here?

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).
-> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
then delete them from your Camera Roll.
You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

HT201317 Cant get Camera Roll or Photo Stream images off my iphone 4

Cant get Camera Roll or Photo Stream images off my iphone 4. Ive got everything turned on to support the icloud function and my itunes shows syncing, but nothing. Any ideas what Im missing? Thanks A Million!

You can delete them from your phone by opening the album that contains them, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, the tap Delete. You can also import camera roll photos to your computer and delete them after importing as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

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...
