Camera roll not reducing size after deleting photos

My camera roll stays the same size even after deleting 600 photos - I'm trying to still keep the roll included in my iCloud backup but had to size it down because the backups were too large and stopped without upgrading my storage. Why is this happening?

PhotoStream does not use up your iCloud storage.
Transfer your photos to your computer. Then delete them from the iPhone.
What steps are you having issues with?

Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one? I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly. Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

*correction*
Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Camera Roll not showing up after updating to 8.1

I know the 8.1 update was supposed to bring the Camera Roll back to the photos app, but it is not showing up for me after updating. I am looking in Albums section of the Photos app. All I see are All Photos, Videos, Slo-mo, Recently Deleted, and my personal albums. Anyone else having this issue or knows how to fix it?

I'm not sure if there exactly the same or not. I'll illustrate with an example.
Let say I have device 1 and device 2, both with iCPL turned on. I take 5 pictures with device 2, and they show up on device 1 under "All Photos". If I later turn off iCPL on device 1, I don't know if those 5 photos will will be shown in "Camera Roll" on device 1 or not. To be clear, I'm not saying they won't, I'm saying I haven't tested it and I don't know what happens.

I imported from an SD card onto my iPad air 2, how do I get them into LR? LR mobile does not see them, only sees camera roll not the rest of my photos. HELP!

Using the import connection to my iPad Air 2 I uploaded pictures taken on my DSLR. I want to get them into LR Mobile and then into LR but LR mobile and even CC does not see them on my iPad. What do I do? Any and all help appreciated.
Thank you.

RAW import is not yet supported. Just guessing that this is what you were trying . - Guido

IPhone 4 - photo storage space not being freed after deletion

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could help me with this - I'd be incredibly grateful!
I've got an iPhone 4 (32GB) and I ended up taking so many photos and videos that they were taking up over 16gig in total (I have well over 3,000 including lots of videos).
Anyhow, they were only on the camera roll, I hadnt synced any photos through folders etc., literally just had my camera roll. Anyhow, I have deleted all of these photos but for some reason they are still being recognised as taking up over 16 gig of space on the storage bar when I connect it to itunes. I've also gone into 'settings' and 'about' and whilst its acknowledging that the photos arent there in numbers, its still saying I have only 9gig left which is ridiculous as I only have like 12 songs on there!
Any suggestions on what to do - I've tried doing a restore from backup, a soft reset etc. etc. I really don't want to do a factor reset as I will lose all my notes etc which would really irritate me.

Here's a Solution which works 99%.
After giving up on studying various sources on this topics and trying to delete it from my iPhone 3GS, I gave a last chance and Vualá!
A quick tip: simply clean your DCIM folder it via iFunBox. If not familiar with this keyword, read below:
Step by step Solution:
download latest iFunBox;
install it on your PC, run it, connect your iPhone via USB;
Click on GENERAL STORAGE, then get back to Media folder:
Open DCIM folder:
Select ALL folders in DCIM, right-click for sub-menu, choose DELETE:
Wait until is done, disconnect you iPhone, go to Settings ... Usage, scroll down until you'll find Photos and tap on it.
At last, you must see a 0 bytes of taken space:
Enjoy.
And please FB Share it, Twit it, Pin it... just spread the word, as seems this issue been discussed all over, but never was easy way to solve it.

If I delete everything on my camera roll will it remain in my photo stream?

I have an 8 gb 4th gen iPhone and I am running really low on memory space. I have checked, and every photo from my camera roll is on my photo stream. If I completely delete everything off my camera roll will they stay in my photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you delete photos from Camera Roll, they will stay on Photo Stream. Note that Photo Stream photos are deleted 30 days after adding them to Photo Stream, so copy them to your other devices before if you don't want to lose photos

Camera roll not seen in album after updating ios8

Camera roll not seen in album after updating ios8

That is intentional. The Camera Roll album is no longer show as a separate album, also My Photo Stream is no longer a separate album. This Help document explains, where you will see the photos now.
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Have you enabled the "Summarise Photos" option? Then disable it.
By default, Photos displays a representative subset of your photos when you view by year or by collection.
To see all your photos, go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Summarize Photos.
And did you migrate your photos from iPhoto? Some photos may still be in the iPhoto Library, that is no longer supported:

If I delete all the pics n movies from camera roll.r they gonna b deleted from iCloud as well?n is photo stream connected to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community Hamza.
Firstly, photo stream doesn't save videos, secondly, it may not have all your photos saved in it, it only keeps photos for 30 days.
Back up your photos to a computer or online photo storage facility, before deleting them from your phone.

Photo in camera roll not synced to iCloud

I was out in London the other day and used my phone to take some photos, at one point my phone went below 20% battery therefore any photos taken would not have synced to "my photo stream" until phone is placed on charge again then these would re-sync. However I've just noticed that I have one photo less in "my photo stream" and this is a photo taken when iPhone was below 20% battery.
Why has this photo not synced to iCloud? This should have synced once phone was on charge? Why can't I add it manually to "my photo stream".
P.s. I don't want to add it to a "shared photo stream" and I don't want to edit it the photo and save as a new copy and then the new copy is synced to "my photo stream" the photo was taken on a date and it should have synced.
Can someone please shed some light why this disruption has occurred...?
iCloud isn't perfect but it is great for automated syncing, Apple can definately improve on, I think the 1000 photos v 30 day limitation should be increased.
This sync issue has happened to me before but I need to know why this is happening and if it can be fixed. I don't understand why I can't just add it manually to "my photo stream" and it automatically uploads to the correct place so my camera roll is exactly the same "my photo stream" except videos of course until iOS7, thumbs up Apple improve upon this.

That hasn't answered why this problem has occurred and if you read my original question I said I don't want to edit the photo and create a NEW COPY! Yes of course that work but why didn't it upload in the first place!
PLEASE READ THE QUESTION BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT!

Photo stream, camera roll not syncing

Pictures I'm taking in my camera roll aren't showing in the photo stream on my phone in a very timely manner. I have iCloud set up properly in both my MBP and iPhone, and I'd like to get a photo to my Photo Stream so I can use it on my MBP.

Hello Meridarida,
The following troubleshooting steps can help get your Photo Stream working.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream on a device using iOS 6) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

TS3989 photos in iphone are in camera roll not photo stream. Why?

ICloud Storage is almost full -- how do I clear my iPhone Camera Roll back-up without losing my photos?

Hi. My iCloud storage is almost full and my iPhone Camera Roll seems to be the main culprit. So...
1. I think that they way to free up my iCloud storage is to go into iCloud management and delete the back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll. Right?
2. If yes, does deleting my iPhone Camera Roll from iCloud back-up delete the photos from my phone entirely?
3. Also, if I have already saved my iPhone photos to my iPhoto Library on my computer (via hard line sync), should I be worried about deleting the iCloud back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll? (In other words, will deleting the back-up on my phone somehow tell my iPhoto to delete the copies of the photo as well?)
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Here's a tip: Part of what I do is photography, so I normally treat my iPhone as another camera. So, what I do is after I have finished taking some shots/videos with it, I download them to my computer (in my case, via Aperture). For everyone else, on the Mac there is the free Image Capture app, or the iPhoto app (which, if you have the latest version of Lion, it isn't built in there, so you would have to download it from the App Store for a fee).
I have made it a habit to use this method whenever I finish taking pictures at the end of a day (but that's just me). Also, keep in mind that the videos that you take on your iPhone can take up a lot of space very quickly (for instance, one minute of 720p HD video recorded on the iPhone takes up over 300 MB of space!), so you would need to keep that in mind when shooting videos. SO, to answer your questions above:
1) Right.
2) No, because it is only a backup, not the Camera Roll itself.
3) You should not be worried about deleting the iCloud backup of the iPhone Camera Roll. What would happen (in terms of the method) is that you first would download them to iPhoto first, then delete the images from your Camera Roll. This then would free up your iCloud storage space. Lastly, placing them in your iPhoto app will not tell your backup on your phone to delete them. When you delete the images from your camera roll, your "backup" will be smaller in size than it was beforehand.... Hopefully that made sense.

When I make a new album from my camera roll, I am unable to delete the from only the camera roll album. Is there any way to delete them?

When I make a new album from my camera roll, I am unable to delete the photos from only the camera roll album. Is there any way to delete them without deleting them from the new album?

The photos in your album are actually only saved in your camera roll. The creation of an album does not create copies of the photos. The Album simply contains pointers to the pictures in the camera roll.
If you want to create stand-alone albums move the pics to your computer, say iPhoto, create albums there and sync the pictures back to your iPhone. Note that the pictures synced back to the iPhone will not necessarily have the same resolution as the camera roll versions.

Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size after CS4 upgrade?

I've been able to successfully reduce the size of the PDFs created from my Illustrator files for years using Advanced> PDF Optimizer in Acrobat Pro. Upgraded to CS4 last week. Now it seems to have reduced everything, but the files are still huge. When I check Space Audit 96% or more is taken up by "piece information".
I've tried changing the Adobe PDF presets, the Document Raster Effects settings, and outlining all text in Illustrator to see if that made a difference. Nothing. The frustrating thing is i've done this for years with no problem. HELP?!?!

Subject: Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size
after CS4 upgrade?
Hi, I've found the solution because today it happened to me as well.
Just go to "PDF Optimizer", then click to "Discard user data" and finally to
"Discard private data from other applications": in this way you delete any
information left by Illustrator and your file's size will get reduced.
It works.
Good luckThanks so much! That works like a charm!!
