"Camera roll" photo thumbnail--doesn't change when delete photo

I took a, uh, revealing photo and, as normal, it showed up as the thumbnail photo for the "Camera roll" album in my iPhone.
However, after I deleted the photo, I expected it to be replaced with another photo as the thumbnail for the "Camera roll" album.
Unfortunately, it's not.
Luckily, I caught it before anyone saw.
I supposed I could take another dummy photo to replace it, but this should be fixed.

I'm sorry, but the fact that you took a potentially embarrassing picture does not mean that anything needs to be fixed.
Just take another pic and that thumbnail will be replaced.

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.

Recover deleted Camera Roll photos?

I'm traveling on vacation, and during a sync, I inadvertently deleted about 20 photos. Of course they are photos I really want. I tried doing a restore from a backup, but that didn't work (I don't know if Camera Roll photos are even included in the backup/restore process for the iPhone). I've tried a couple of recovery programs - Klix and Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery - for Mac, and for Windows running Parallels. In all cases, the programs don't even see the iPhone. Does anyone have any suggestions for how recovery may be possible? I know retrieval of deleted items on a computer is far from perfect, but I've used the iPhone very little since I screwed up, and there is 17 GB available memory on my 32 GB phone, so I'm hopeful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Only one normal iPhone backup is kept by iTunes. It's actually an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up. While camera roll photos are included in the iPhone backup, deleting such photos on your phone & then syncing effectively removes these photos from your iPhone backup. The first thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. Photos in your iPhone camera roll should always be imported to your computer & never stored in your camera roll.

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:

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

Photo Albums? I have Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Picture.... why?

I have 3 categories under my Photo albums on my iphone. Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Picture. Now looking at these three options shows 125 pictures in the Camera roll, 84 Pictures in the Photo Library, and 81 Pictures in the Picture option.... Now the problem I have is they are all the same pictures, just seems they are all in the Roll and some in the others. What I need to know is why? why purpose does this have, and how do I delete them from one, or will it delete them from all? would hate to have to think I have to delete them each 3 times... Not sure why it is like this but hoping the reason is simple and understandable. do different applications use pics from different categories? I am confused.

You certainly CAN create as many albums as you want. You do this by first creating the albums on your desktop, then syncing those albums to the iPhone. You can use Adobe Albums, but you don't need it.
If not you can actually use the My Pictures folder, but I don't recommend that. Instead, create a new folder in My Documents. I call mine "iPod Pictures" (because I sync them to my iPod also). In "iPod Pictures" create sub-folders; name each one with the name of an album. Now copy the pictures you want on the iPhone into the appropriate "album" sub-folder. I shrink them to 640x480 in the process to save memory on the iPhone, but this is optional. It's easiest to do this with a photo editor like Microsoft Photo or the one I prefer, Google Picasa. It is free at picasa.google.com.
Finally, put the iPhone in the dock and wait for it to appear in iTunes. Click on the iPhone in the left panel, then on the Photos tab. At the top there is a box labeled "Sync Photos From:" Click on the box and select the "iPod Pictures" folder. Then choose "All Photos" or "Selected Folders" as you prefer and sync. Each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
Any time you add or remove a folder or a photo in a folder the next time you sync the iPhone will be updated with the change.

Sync Camera roll photos using iTunes?

So I did my first sync after the initial set up. In iTunes, I chose to only sync photos from a couple of folders. Once the sync was complete, I was surprised that the photos from my camera roll was not copied to my mac. I went to the photo tab and wanted to choose to sync the camera roll photos, but there is no option for doing that.
The only work around I did, was to launch iphoto and import the photos from my iphone 3G. How do I set it up in itunes so that the photos from the camera roll will be sync'd automatically each time??

When the iPhone includes photos that were captured by the iPhone, it is also detected and treated as a digital camera when connected, so such photos are not included with the iTunes sync process.
If you use iPhoto for storing photos, you can use iPhoto for the import. If not, you can also use the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder to import these photos to the designated location on your hard drive.
How do I set it up in itunes so that the photos from the camera roll will be sync'd automatically each time??
You can't, but you can have iPhoto launch automatically when your iPhone is connected which will occur only when your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone. The import process by iPhoto or Image Capture is not automatic, but you can have either one launch automatically.

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes. Is adobe photoshop the only program I can use?

You don't see them in iTunes. In theory your computer should see the device as a camera and you should be able to transfer the photos in the same way as if you'd connected a 'proper' camera to your computer (this only applies to photos taken with the device or saved from emails/websites etc, it doesn't apply to photos that were synced from your computer). There is some help/guidance in this article for transferring photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

How do I download 3G "Camera Roll" photos off my phone?

I was wondering how to download 3G "Camera Roll" photos off of my phone 3G and onto my computer??

Wah... don't be so sensitive.
I didn't have to use proprietary iTune software.
Something Apple failed miserably to allow in it's iPhone.
In your opinion but regardless, it is what it is. The requirements for the iPhone are not kept secret and if the requirements were not acceptable to you, you should not have purchased one.
When your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, which has nothing to do with iTunes.
So the question still remains...
What do you do on an iPhone with "Windoze" to get you Camera Roll pix from you phone onto your computer, other than emailing each and every one separately via email.
The answer remains the same.
If you choose not to use the camera and scanner wizard, your iPhone should be available in Explorer when connected as a connected drive where you can drag photos that were captured by your iPhone to the desired location on your hard drive.

Can I get Camera Roll photos onto my iPad?

In addition to dealing with that annoying optimizing/syncing over 6,000 photos everytime I sync my iPad with my iTunes, I find that none of the Camera Roll photos from the iPhone that I also sync with the same iTunes comes over.
When I moved from my iPhone 3 to my iPhone 4, (and when I lost an iPhone 3 and got a replacement), the backup/restore feature worked flawlessly, so I know that a copy of my iPhone photos are on my computer.
How can I get them over to my iPad?
(Also, does anyone know an easy way to convert them to jpg and where, specifically, do they live in the iPod Photo Cache folder???)
Thanks!
Randy

The iPod Photo Cache folder is just a temporary folder used for sync. You can delete it and it will be recreated next time you sync.
"When you use iTunes to sync photos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in the top level of the folder you selected for your photos. Picking another folder to sync does not erase the previous iPod Photo Cache folder. Depending on how many photos are being synced, your hard drive could fill up."
From:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1314
How have you transfered you iPhone photos to your iPad? The photos I take with my 4G iPod Touch are jpgs when synced to my computer. You need to place your iPhone photo is a single folder and place that folder in the folder you use to sync your 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"..

How to copy non-camera roll photos from iphone

Hi
I have several hundred photos on iphone that I've lost on my laptop after hard drive failure. Apple store helped to copy camera roll photos to CD but can't help with the others. I REALLY want to get copies of these, even if they're not quite top resolution.
Any suggestions about ways to copy photo folders off iphone? Battery problems mean I ned to do this quickly so iphone can be wiped for testing/software reinstallment.
Many thanks
Sue

Sue,
When you plug your phone into your Windows computer Windows should prompt you what application do you want to use to import the photos from your "digital camera" that you just plugged into your computer. It will display a list of compatible applications. Pick one, when it opens it should show the photos on the phone/camera and allow you to import them. Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Apple Community.

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.
