Camera Roll vs Recently Added

Since 'camera roll' has been replaced with 'recently added' on my iPhone, I can no longer distinguish between pictures I've taken on my iPhone and pictures that are being displayed from my iMac's iPhoto. I don't want my new iPhoto pictures automatically streamed to my iPhone. Can I turn this feature off?

Disable "Automatic Upload" in the Preferences in iPhoto on your Mac.
Preferences > iCloud > My Photo Stream : Uncheck "Automatic Upload"

"Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG. Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
A new issue has surfaced. When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile. So far, so good. But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll. This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
Cheers,
Jeff

The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud. The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
That makes sense. I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

What happened to the Camera Roll? I believe it is gone. I want it back!

What happened to the Camera Roll? I believe it is gone. I want it back! Anyone know how to get it back after upgrading to IOS 8.0?

Um, no. There is no more 'Camera Roll'. 'Recently Added' is what you use now: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

HT4847 Is there a way to only sync your camera roll (new pictures) to iCloud or is it an all or nothing type thing?

I'm wondering if there is anyway to change your backup settings through iCloud to only sync the camera roll as opposed to all of the other folders as well. Considering your new pictures automatically save in your camera roll, it would make sense to be able to just save the new pictures one would think. I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I was hoping that I may be overlooking something. Thanks in advance

Photo stream only adds new photos by design. It also only adds photos from the camera roll, not any albums (folders)*. Photos added to the camera roll are automatically added to photo stream, once enabled. The remain in photo stream for 30 days. After 30 days they are deleted from photo stream, but will remain in your My Photo Stream folder until deleted.
*Any album that includes photos from your camera roll only contains links to the photos in the camera roll, not duplicate photos. Photo stream doesn't add these "photos" because the actual photos they link to are in the camera roll.

HT4946 Camera roll taking iCloud storage space?

If photostream doesn't count against the 5GB of storage on iCloud, why is it showing that 3.5GB of my backup is for my camera roll?

When you take a photo or video on the phone, or save a photo from an email, the web, a text message, etc., they are saved to your camera roll album. Photos added to the camera roll are then added to your photo stream when you camera is off, your phone is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
Photo stream photos are then synced to your other devices sharing the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled. These photos appear in your my photo stream album. They are separate from the ones in your camera roll album (you can delete the photo from one and it will remain in the other) and do not count against your iCloud storage.
The iCloud (and iTunes) backup includes the photos and videos stored in your camera roll album, but not the ones stored in your my photo stream album. The backup, of course, does count against your storage plan.

IOS 8 Stuck photo in camera thumbnail not in Recently added

Since iOS 8.0, sometimes a photo gets stuck in the thumbnail square at the lower left corner of the camera window. If I touch that photo, I get a message saying that there are no photos or videos. The photo does not get into the Recently Added album.
If I take more pictures, they are shown in the square. But if I delete them all until the Recently Added album is empty, the original stuck photo appears again in the square. This thumbnail should be a gray square when the Recently Added album is empty.
The only way that I've found to fix it is to browse the phone with iExplorer, delete the folder PhotoData and DCIM and resync with iTunes.
But the problem may arise again at any time. It seems that it appears when taking several photos in a row, mainly without flash.
It didn't happen under any iteration of iOS 7, but it's been there under 8.0 and 8.0.2.

I Had this problem as well and the photo it was displaying was an inappropriate one I wouldn't want anyone to see so it was a big deal for me to fix this. I didn't have this photo in my camera roll or in any of my folders but I DID find it in my collections screen under the Photo app. Once I deleted it from collections it disappeared and displayed the most recent photo that is in my camera roll. If you want to keep you picture share it someone private and delete the old copy and save the new one and see if it lets you keep the photo without having the thumbnail issue.
hope this works for you.

Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

Photostream adding photos to camera roll...

I have a single photostream (one iCloud account) set up on 4 devices - iMac (running Aperture 3.3), two iPhone 4S's, and an iPad 2. In order to share photos over all devices, I used my wife's iCloud account to connect all the devices to one Photostream. It is working perfectly...except...
When a new photo is added to any device and the Photostream folders in Aperture on my iMac, it shows up in the Photostream album all the devices just as intended...except for my wife's iPhone, where they show up in the "camera roll" album, her Photostream folder is empty (always). If my wife takes a photo, it shows up in her camera roll, makes it to all the other devices via photostream, but never makes it to the photostream on her phone...it's as if the camera roll photo album is a surrogate for the photostream album on her phone.
The obvious issue is that the photos that are loading up in her "camera roll" are then backed up via the iCloud in lieu of the Photostream (which doesn't count against your total iCloud memory if I understand it correctly) and is using up our iCloud memory extremely fast - previoulsy we never used more than 6-7GB...now, since setting up photostream, we are at 24.5GB on a 25GB account and getting space warnings.
As a result, we've had to turn off photostream for the time being, or, i suppose we could buy ungodly amounts of iCloud memory to compensate for this (we are the proud parents of a photogenic toddler - arent they all?? - and take a lot of photos), I can't help but feel this should be working better...any thoughts of what might be happening? I'm sure I am missing something simple...but what is it?
FYI - I have restored her iPhone, reset the photostream, deleted the photos in her camera roll...all to no avail...As I noted, all the other devices seem to be behaving as expected.

From this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

Hi all. Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match. I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream. Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought). But it was not there. In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos. Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll. I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review. I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll. I edited the photo. I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll. So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning. The edited version of the photo was gone. Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp. Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED! This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups. So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011) and backed up my photos. I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos. I have it set to Download and Keep Originals. It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied. At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network. I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos. I am extremely confused. This is a mess. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

I have a I Phone 4...I recently upgraded the sofeware....this allowed me to create albums off my photo roll..How do I deleate the photos off the camera roll without deleating everywhere else?? Anyone??

I have I Phone 4... recently upgraded software.... I can create albums off my camera roll.....The problem is that I cant deleate the photo from the roll without deleating it from everwhere... EX.... albums just created.... FB... and anywhere else that photo might be...HELP..:)

Lets take it by steps.
Do you have access to the phone? Is the phone is locked with a passcode (Usually 4 digit number)?
If you are referring to the Apple ID, it is irrelevant whether the email that was originally used is active or not. You will still use the email "name" as that IS the AppleID/username. If you have forgotten the password, you can reset it here:

HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips. Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation? I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added. That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation. I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected. You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll. But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

Recently when I sync my iPhone the Albums banner covers the camera roll selector and then I have to reset the phone to correct it. Why does this happen?

All of a sudden now when I sync my iphone and then look at photo's the "albums" banner is covering the camera roll selector making it unable to be accessed. So then I have to reset the phone and go through all of my settings and reset them to where they were before the reset. I'm not sure what's causing this, but the only thing that was different was that I had over 100 pictures in the camera roll. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Thanks

This seems to be a common problem. The only fix I know of is to double-tap the home button to bring up the recently used apps bar. Find the Photos app. Tap and hold until a red x appears. Tap the X to close the app. Then tap the home button again. The Photos app should work normally when you next use it.
I hope you transfer your camera roll photos to your computer. This explains how: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

TS3989 My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7). What can I do?

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.

Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll

I use an app called ProCamera 8 to save images taken with my iPhone 6 to uncompressed TIF files or TIF files with LZW compression. The problem is that Lr Mobile doesn't see any kind of TIF file in my iPhone camera roll at all. I've tried to:
Save the photo taken by PC8 directly to the camera roll
Save the photo taken by PC8 to it's own "Lightbox" folder, then export it to the camera roll.
Manually import the TIF files that appear in the iPhone's camera roll using Lr Mobile's Add From Camera Roll command. TIF files in the camera roll don't even appear in the list of photos!
None of the above methods will get a TIF file into a Lr Mobile collection.
If I repeat the process with JPG files, everything works as expected, and all 3 methods listed above will get the JPG images into LR Mobile.
I think this is a bug (and a serious one) because TIF files in Lr Desktop that are added to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile appear Lr Mobile on my iPhone immediately. So I know that Lr Mobile supports the display and editing of TIF source files.
Until this is fixed, is there a workaround possible?
Thanks,
Jeff
EDIT: The native Photos app in iOS 8 displays all of the TIF files correctly.

The latest update to Lightroom Mobile now recognizes Tif files. Strangely, in the import window they show up with with a RAW label on them but, once imported, the metadata labels them as tiffs. This made me wonder if LR mobile also now supported actual RAW files. Alas, a quick test proved this to not be the case.
That said, this is pretty cool news for those who take pictures with their phone's camera. I too use a camera app that allows me to save images as tiff files. Now these files can be imported to LR Mobile and edited using the array of tools found there. I've always liked Lightroom's superior versions of tools like Clarity, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Darks but found them of little use on Jpgs, due to the smaller amount of data they contain. While Tiffs aren't quite as info packed as RAW files, they are a huge step better than jpgs.
One slight caveat which, depending on your outlook could be either a good or bad thing. When you save a tiff file from LRMobile it automatically converts the image to a jpg and reduces the image size to around 63% of the original image (the native size of a photo taken with my iPhone 6, 2448x3264, is reduced to 1536x2048). At first I was rather upset with this, as far as I can tell, unchangable automatic action. However, after thinking about it a while it occured to me, that for my use of LRMobile at least, it is not such a bad idea.
FIrst let me say that I do not see my iPhone or my iPad Air as optimal photo editing devices. For serious editing I'm going to use my computer hooked up to my calibrated 27" NEC monitor. However, for doing some quick fixes/adjustments on iPhone snapshots this makes complete sense. Most other mobile editing apps only support jpg as do most of the major social sharing sites on the web. A smaller sized image, and it's inherrent smaller file size, is also better for emailing, sharing on websites, etc especially if you are using cellular data to upload with. Admittedly I would have prefered the option to save as either a tiff of jpg and also the option to select the image size, but overall this "feature" is OK with me. As I said if your usage of LR Mobile differs from mine you could well be holding your head in your hands moaning by now.
While I'm still waiting for the ability to edit keywords and other metadata, the thing that would make LR Mobile an essential app for me, this addition of tiff support has actually gotten it out of my "Archive" folder and back in to use.
PS: one thing that has always worked well is the sync between devices (internet required) so it is geeat for getting your phone photos onto the your iPad.
