Camera roll / Photo Stream issues

I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1. When I take a picture the picture shows up in the ca,era roll, but not in Photo Stream. I do have iCloud and Photo Stream enabled. I can see older photos in Photo Stream. This used to work before.
Also, is there a way to add photos from your camera roll to Photo Stream?
Thanks

Have you tried turning Photo Stream off, then back on on your phone? I don't believe you can add photos to Photo Stream that are already in your Camera Roll. I believe Photo Stream will only add photos taken after it is enabled on your phone (i.e., new photos).

IOS 8 : Camera Roll & Photo Stream disappeared

Since upgrading to IOS 8 on both iPhone & iPad, Camera Roll & Photo Stream have disappeared off both devices.
Checked in iTunes & not shown.
Is there any way of restoring or just lost with upgrade?

Just make sure you're in moments rather than in years. And it will only take you to the maps if you click on the location names (when you're in collections) so click on the photos instead. That's all I can tell you to do since they've went ahead and taken off "Camera Roll"..

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

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

Camera roll, photo stream, libraries explained.

Anyone?
I have IPod's, touch and phones; IPad 2.
Just a quick tutorial, the online support docs has been read and still a little unclear and not that smart.
Is there a scenario in which Camera Roll images last more than a month?
Photo stream will last for 30 days on the devices (IPod's touch and phones; IPad 2) and then purge, correct?
On a Windows or Mac computer they are untouched by iOS activities?
If I create libraries, can they replicated across all these devices?Once I create a library, are they a camera or photo stream?
Can I keep my camera continually set to HDR?
If I am in the wrong discussion group, let me know that too.
Be kind, rewind,

Hi Pvonk and thanks for your clear response in the wake of my vague descriptions,
Correct I meant Photo Stream and not Camera Roll. Sorry.
I get it now. Thank you.
Yes. My original concern was this:
So, anything my friends and family with Apple ID's will be able to see on Photo Stream is one current months worth of photos from my devices. They will stay on my deivices until storage runs out. That G-d I got 64GB's on each. I would need to thether them to a PC and copy off the older images to make more device room eventually.
I have moved my videos to YouTube almost auto-magically - My new YouTube 'Capture' is finding them, it appears, on the device they're on to make ready for upload. Any suggestions where to move images so that my circle can view them in 'Albums? - I'm getting in to Google+ since it seems I can store stuff there and assess permissions. Can I give read only permissions to my Apple Storage to others with their Apple Accounts?
I want to save my images and not loose them, sort them in Albums and let anyone I want be able to see them across the Internet.
In short, I need to keep your #3 advice for PhotoStream. Make sure there are not single images there that aren't back-up somewhere else.
Yes I meant Albums. If I copy them to PhotoStream will they stay for thirty days - even if they were there once before in PhotoStream? (though not in a Library)
The camera setting has HDR, under options. I remember reading somewhere it takes three pictures/images and combines them for the best image or something like that. It seems to turn off when I close the app or change to flash - I think...
Is it worth using?
I am, er was, a died in the wool Windows | AD guy | Novell too | Blackberry too. I am loving this new stuff. I am born again.
Thanks again Pvonk and later,

HT201317 Differences of Camera Roll, Photo Stream and Photo Library on iPhone?

I use my iPhoto exclusively as my camera at hand and that means I have tons of photos. What is the difference between Cameroll, Photo Stream and Photo Library? It seems that my Photo Stream has images that can be deleted ( a trash bucket icon) whereas the tech support and my local Mac store said the Photo Stream images are the ones that will be sent to iCloud and should not have the bucket. Whereas my Photo Library is not deletable? Whats is this all about and how can I make it right so I may manage my images correctly?

Camera Roll, all the picture you have taken with your iPhone. They are include in the iPhone Backup but should be transfered to your iPhoto Library on the computer for a better back up. Just like in the old days with a film camera, the is like you iPhones roll of film.
Photo Stream is iCloud's way of sharing your photos between your devices. It is not permanent storage for photo's limited to 1000 photos and can be deleted automatically in 30 days. It is a handy way to veiw photos on an Apple TV and other iOS devices or a quick and simple way to transfer them into iPhoto on your computer with out having to connect your iPhone to the computer. These photos are not backed up other than being visible on all your devices.
The Photo Library contains all the photos you synced from your computer. They are not in any part a part of iCloud or it's back ups. Since these photos come from your computer they should be backed up using it's backup routine. These photos should be managed using iTunes to add and remove them.
Take a picture with your iPhone, the new photo will end up in Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Copy that photo to your iPhoto Library on the Mac either by connecting your iPhone or select the photo in Photo Stream in iPhoto and it will get copied back to your iPhone in it's Photo Library. Once in the Library and a more stable backup routine you are able to detele it from the Camera Roll to clean it up. The Photo Stream copy could be deleted or leave it there for viewing on other devices that may not have access to your iPhoto Library. I suspect we may be able to share Photostream.

Camera Roll/Photo Stream Questions

A few CR/PS Questions. I have automatic transfer to PS enabled on iPhone 4S, husband's iPhone5 and iMac all using same appleID/iCloud account.
1) When I edit a picture in a camera roll and save it, the edited version (which is the one I want) does not show up in PhotoStream. Any way to make this happen?
2) If I take a bad picture and delete it from CR, it still shows up in PS. Do I have to delete it from BOTH CR and PS separately or is there a way to do this simultaneously? Additionally, is there a time frame in which I can delete from CR before it shows up in PS?
3) PS Events on iMac: Once created (April 2013 for example), can I split and create my own events without fearing the pics will ever be deleted from iMac?
4) Is there ever any time there is an advanatge to editing a picture in PS vs CR on an iOS device?

re: 1, I typically don't edit photos from within the Photo app, but I tried a couple things just now.
If I edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to PS, then the CR version gets replaced with the edited version but that does not get pushed to PS.
If I disconnect from Wi-Fi and take a new photo and then edit it in CR, then once I get back on Wi-Fi the edited version does get pushed to PS. Not the best workaround, but it works.
Alternatively, if I use a 3rd party editor (e.g. Photo Toaster) to edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to CR, then the edited version is saved in CR and gets pushed to PS. This may be the better way to do your editing since it seems that the native Photo app does not accomplish what you want.

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.

Is there a way to retrieve camera roll photos after failed backup

I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes. PLEASE help me.

The Camera Roll photos should have restored, as they are part of the backup, unless you had a corrupted backup. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Restore from Backup. If you are given a choice of backups choose one from before you replaced the phone.
However, the Camera Roll is not intended as a permanent store for photos; they should be transferred to a photo app on your computer or Photo Stream frequently, to avoid the situation you are now facing.

Camera Roll Photos does not sync to Ipad2 using icloud

Icloud camera roll photos will not download my camera roll to my ipad 2, only will download the phonestream photos. Can someone tell me how to get the camera roll photos to sync on ipad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos taken after turning on Photo Stream will be added to Photo Stream and synced between devices.

Any way to open/retrieve encrypted Camera Roll photos

I had to restore my iphone 3GS.....is there a way to open/retrieve the Camera Roll photos that were on this phone? I regularly sync'd this phone, with "encrypted backup" enabled.
I have since purchased a new iPhone4 and want to restore the 3GS encrypted backup (camera roll) to the iPhone 4.

I'm sure it was the right backup since that was the only backup I ever did.
Perhaps the iPod Touch issue which I brought it in for the troubleshooting later that day.. also caused it to backup the camera roll pictures up to a point too (The month and a half where I'm missing the other photos)?
My device issue was that most notifications went missing and the inability for my iPod Touch to update any of my apps. It would show waiting/loading and then just return to a normal app icon like it had finished, but instead the update never occurred. The Apple specialist who helped me seemed puzzled and the final solution employed which worked was updating me to iOS 5.
I had tried restoring to factory settings and reinstalling previously to going to the Apple store for help. It only fixed my problems for a week, before they returned.
I do hope tho' I'm not SOL and the rest of the data is hidden in my backup..

Camera roll photos fuzzy

Photo stream issues

I just got a Iphone 4S only some of my photos went to photostream. How do I get all pictures to go to photostream? Is there a way that as soon as you take the picture its moved to photostream? Also the photos in photostream wont import to my computer?

Photos added to your camera roll will be added to your photo stream when you have the camera app closed, you are connected to wifi, and you have at least 20% battery life remaining. Only photos taken after enabling photo stream are upload, not photo take before enabling photo stream.
If you are trying to import photo stream photos to your computer via USB, you can't. That only imports camera roll photos. To import photo stream photos via USB, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). Otherwise, if your computer meets the minimum system requirements, set up your iCloud account on it and enable photo stream to import the photos from iCloud (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

How can I find/sync my old iPhone camera roll photos?

I've searched about 5 different ways here on the forums and can't find an answer to this question. I recently upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4. I backed up the old phone and just sold it a couple of days ago. Here's my problem: I can't find the folder containing my (old) camera roll photos so I can sync them to my new iPhone. I'm aware that iTunes doesn't back up camera roll photos, however I understand they are saved as part of the standard backup process. Are they included in the "iPod Photo Cache" and, if so, can I use this to copy them onto my new phone? Note that I was unaware until today that I can save camera roll photos on my PC using Windows Camera and Scanner or Adobe Photoshop; I'll start doing that tonight so I'll have them in a separate folder from now on. I'm running Windows Vista on my PC, FYI.
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way for me to save what's currently on my phone?
No. If you restore your new phone from a previous backup, all data on your phone will be erased & replaced with the data from your backup. However, if you don't want to do that you can see if this will recover the photos in question from your 3GS backup:

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!

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

My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?, My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?

I haven't had a problem until I updated my iPad. Now my camera roll photos and videos won't show up in iMovie. I updated the App and shut down my iPad. I would love some help. Thanks.

Go to SETTINGS--> PRIVACY and then PHOTOS; make sure iMovie is set to "on".
Should work then. (Did for me).
