Camera Roll showing incorrect number of photos

The Camera Roll doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.
When I import photos into iPhoto, i select the option to delete them from the phone.
The photos disappear, but the number of photos apparently in the Camera Roll isn't reset to zero.
Anybody else have this problem?

Can you please post the process steps you're using to move or change your synced photos...
Typically, I would connect my iPhone to my mac, I would manually sync (automatic sync is disabled), I would then remember that I have taken photos, run iPhoto '09 and import the pictures, selecting to delete them when the import process is complete.
I have smart folders in iPhoto that include all iPhone pictures, so I would sync again to the the photos back on my phone.
Also...when you tell iPhoto to delete and then the camera roll still shows a number...are there pictures there or does it have no pics but still has a number???
After iPhoto has deleted the photos, the camera roll has the same number and the Camera Roll folder is empty.

Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll. After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

"Why doesn't Apple fix this ? "
Because it is not broken. it works exactly as intended.
"If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
Apple has it figured out. That is what is on the iphone.

Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll? I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR. When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

I have a 5s phone. How do I download ALL of the photos from my phone? When I downloaded all of them, just the photos on Camera Roll were downloaded. The photos in the folders were still there. Any help will be appreciated. Rosemary

In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of 3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB. Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of 3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB. Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further. As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them. Just make sure first that they are in your photo software. If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway. So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

Showing the number of photos

I just upgraded to iPhoto 09, running under OX 10.5.6, 2.4 gHZ Intel Duo Core, 4 GB memory.
In the iPhoto window, on the left hand is a list column. Under Library are Events, Photos, Faces, etc. Under Album, I have United States, etc. How can I get iPhoto to show the number of photos next to each of these entries? They were there before the program crashed. They are not there now after I rebuilt and trashed the preference file.
Thanks. Tom

iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> general -- check "show item count"

Hi Boots13,
Check the locations mentioned in this article to find your pictures.
Since you have setup as new, I'm wondering if they are from a Photo Stream.

How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream

How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream?
Trying to clean up space to download updated iOS. Thanks!
Have tried unsuccessfully the left swipe and pressing the red delete. No change.

The only problem is I have only 1.6GB available and need 3.7 to update to the iOS7. I also have 2.6GB in the "Other" catagory. How do I access the "Others" area in iTunes in order to see what is there and what I might be able to delete in order to create the amount of space needed. Thanks for your help!

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
4.) Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
5.) Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
In regards to backing up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
"No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
1.) It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
2.) Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
3.) Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos. (Tested it personally)
4.) Photo Stream has a limit according to: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
5.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 (As shown above)
6.) To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website. Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
7.) You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities. For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
8.) On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
"You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails"
Hope some of this information helps!

Why are there duplicate pictures on camera roll but none saving to photo stream?

My wife and I share an itunes account and when iCloud came out all her pictures were showing up on my photo stream (she does a lot of screen caps of cute animal pics to send to her friends) so to stop that I set her up with her own iCloud account. Now when she takes a picture, seconds after she takes it, a duplicate copy appears right beside it, but none ever go to her photo stream folder. What gives? At first I thought maybe she had HDR on, but it's not. Then I thought maybe I didn't have photostream on correctly but looking at it it all looks fine. It's running the latest version of iOS5. Is anyone else having a similar problem?

If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on. That may get photo stream to function properly again.

If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.
