Camera roll storage seems too high

my camera roll says it has taken up 22gb of storage but I only have approx 650 photo and 2hours worth of videoing on there, does this seem right, I do not have sharing or streaming on
Thanks for any advice

Did you reset your iPad? First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

After downloading IO6, can't capture photos from Facebook. I get "save photo" instead of "save image". While browsing, save image comes up and photos save to camera roll. Seems to be a problem only on FB.

Downloaded IO6 on my iPhone 4s. Now I can't capture a photo off Facebook to the camera roll. When I try, I get a "Save Photo" tab rather than a "Save Image" button, The photo does not save to camera roll. For email images and Safari images, "save image" comes up and save to camera roll. Seems only a problem with images on FB. Any ideas? Thanks

You launched iPhoto and from its Preferences you selected Connecting camera opens.....

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection. Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

On camera roll I seem to have two photos in the same location. When I click on the visible photo a different photo is revealed. I cannot load the photos onto my MacBook

On camera roll I seem to have two differen photos in the same location. How do I resolve this? I cannot transfer one of each of these photos to my macbook. Any ideas?

An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?". The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?". Mistake. You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone. Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila! Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

In photo albums, photo roll icon too high, will not open?

In the photo album menu. Photo roll category is too high under album header, will not come down. Will not open, unable to touch it to open. Any suggestions?

Try resetting your iPhone - Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

ICloud storage and camera roll

I have received a notification saying my iCloud is almost full, it shows my camera roll at 4.6GB so I went through and deleted around half of my photos and videos (I had around 1350 and now have 652) yet it still shows camera roll at 4.6GB, anyone know why this is?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Where are you looking for the Camera Roll storage? If you have deleted pictures from the device, you will see this in the next iCloud backup. If you want, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup, and start a backup. This will remove the photos you deleted

Edit tool in camera roll is missing

Hello friends,
I actually i am facing a problem quite a while. I used to have the edit button back in my iPhone 4S missing. When i used to enable the photostrem the button is back again! As soon as i turned off the photostrem, the edit option in camera roll is gone too. Now, i have been advised to restore my phone. I bought an iphone 5 yesterday and restored my data. now i noticed that the old phone which is iphone 4S is okay with the edit button but my iphone5 is facing again the same problem. now i am very disappointed and totally do not what to do. any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Husain

Take a look at your settings in the iPhone. Check to make sure that iCloud, and Photos & Camera settings are correct. There are two places where shared photo streams need to be enabled. Make sure both are enabled under the iCloud settings section adn the Photos and Camera Settings section.

How best to manage the camera roll on iPhone

Should it be periodically cleared?

I do not use the Camera Roll for long term storage of photos on my iPad or iPhone. I use PhotoStream to transfer photos to my MacBook Pro. Once they are there I archive the best photos and discard those I do not want.
The best photos are then organized into albums. In my case that means using iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. Keep in mind that I also have backup copies of my best photos on two other hard drives.
Once the photos are organized in iPhoto I can sync those albums that I want on my iPhone. After I sync I'll delete the redundant photos from the Camera Roll on my iPhone.
Having too many photos in the Camera Roll makes that album hard to got through to find the photo I might be looking for. When they are organized into albums after a sync I can usually find the one I want fairly quickly.
I know you can copy a photo from the Camera Roll into another album directly on your iPhone. But that still leaves the original in the Camera Roll. Deleting that original from the Camera Roll will delete the copied versions. Leaving all the original photos in the Camera Roll makes the Camera Roll album with too many photos for me to easily find one. So I use the workflow described above.

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.

Camera roll is not showing up.

After upgrading to IOS 5 on my ipad 1 when opening photo application I no longer have the camera roll. The first screen only show thumbnails of all my photos. Any suggestions on how to get the camera roll back.
Thanks!!

Thanks for responding. I have ipad first generation. When i open photo app it goes to photo screen and shows all my photos in thumbnail view. At the top of screen I only have three choices, photos, albums, events. switching from photos to albums shows album titled last import and a album titled All Imports. Opening either shows all the same photos as in the opening screen.
I took some pictures on my camera and imported them thru the camere connection kit. Still same result. When I open photo app it goes to photo screen and show orginal photos + the new photos in thumbnail view only. My new ipod with ios 5 pre installed show a camera roll.
Seems like upgrading may have left out some files???
I've tried resetting, looking in iexplorer, etc.

Activity Monitor shows virtual memory usage is way too high

35 Gb of virtual memory for Safari, Mail, iTunes, Activity Monitor and all running processes!
Why these numbers are so high compared to Tiger? Can someone please explain? Is it a bug or something or is it the new way introduced with Leopard?
RAM and CPU usage looks fine though but this VM usage seems too high to me. I will run out of disk space after a couple of days of runtime. And the Adobe Creative Suite is not even running. Jeez...

Thanks for the hint Niel.
The /private/var/vm folder is actually only 64 Mb. I can calm myself now...
(via Go menu in the Finder, select Go to Folder and type /private/var/vm to access it)
But why is Activity Monitor behaving like this in Leopard?

X64 kernel reserve size too high?

I'm not really a noob (2yrs on Arch...), but maybe this question is. (Moderator move where you like..).
I upgraded my x32 system to x64 and now my fresh boot ram use is over ~300mb booted into openbox (~240mb booted to init 3), use to be ~200mb booted into openbox (~140 booted into init 3).
Here are some quick stats (let me know what more you need),
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3958 879 3079 0 72 388
-/+ buffers/cache: 418 3539

Notice the reserve... 212mb seems too high to me. Others have said around 64mb....

I read through those... No real anwers... Maybe I'll just leave this topic open for a while because 212mb still seems way too high.

IPhone Camera roll problems.

So basically, I'm getting sick and tired of my phone messing up and having to restore.
Because, it deletes all my photos.
I have since then began to import my photos to my Computer.
However, after restoring again, i realized when I sync my photos to my iPhone they are in a seperate folder called Photo Library? Why? I don't like how I can't just sync the camera roll to the PC. (E.G When I delete a photo from my phone and then sync it up to the PC it would just delete the photo from the comp, and if I add a photo it would add the photo to my specific folder, therefore keeping a syncronisity)
Is there absolutely anyway to fix this, i dislike having the seperate folders, thing is.. I can't even add the photo library to the camera roll. I understand the camera roll is for photos taken by the camera, however I add many wallpapers through apps, why can't I add my photos like that to the camera roll and delete the unnecessary folder?

Photos inside the camera roll still have the high quality and resolution the build in camera is providing.
Once you copy the content of the camera roll to your computer and sync certain pictures back to the phone, those photos will be reduced in quality and size, to look good on your display without using to much space.
Photos inside the Photo library can only be deleted if you deselect them in the photo pane in iTunes.

Camera roll usage - too high

The camera roll, on my iPad2, is showing 3.8GB usage, even though it is empty! I have followed all advice seen on forums and discussions, except a restore, as I don't want to loose children's in-app work. Anyone have any ideas?

If a restore does not bring them back, then they are gone.
You should never rely on the iphone backup for your camera roll.
Camera roll is temporary storage. You should import these pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Once on your computer, you can include them in your regular backup of your computer.
