Can I add photos from camera roll to photostream to sync to iMac?

Trying to think of the easiest way to get some pics from my iPhone 5 to my iMac, and also to get them off my iPhone to free up some iCloud storage space.
Is it possible to add some of my pics to a photostream and then on my iMac get them out of the photostream (will they be full resolution with GPS location data etc?), to copy to my iMac and add them to iPhoto eventually?
Is there a step by step how or any help
Cheers

You said: "... get them off my iPhone to free up some iCloud storage space."  I don't understand the connection between your iPhone and iCloud storage space.  So I won't address that.
Anyway, assuming your iMac has a current version of iPhoto right now, you could simply plug your iPhone into your iMac, open iPhoto, and import the iPhone's photos from the Camera Roll (which is where I assume you are trying to get the photos from).  Then you could use either iPhoto or the iPhone directly to delete the photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
And yes, they will be full resolution with GPS info.

  • How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    Hi,
    It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

  • Is there anyway i can delete a photo from camera roll in photostream?

    I have a photo on camera roll that I took of my dying father ... I have transferred to my photos on my computer but quite honestly I don't always want to be seeing it on my cameral...how can I delete?

    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.

  • HT4890 Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Photos taken on your device (which are saved to the camera roll) after enabling photo stream are automatically added (when connected to wifi, the camera app is closed, and you have at least 20% battery power remaining).  If you want to add earlier photos you'll have to either email them one by one to yourself, then open the email and save them back to your camera roll (which will now upload to photo stream because it is considered a new photo), or you can send them all at once using an app like PhotoSync.  With this app you can transfer them wirelessly to your computer, then delete them from your camera roll on your phone, the send them back to the camera roll from your computer (which will again cause them to be seen as new photos).  (iTunes will not transfer photos to your camera roll so you can't just import them and sync them back.)

    i can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

    When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

    You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

  • How do you push all photos from camera roll to photostream?

    My photos in camera roll  do not all get copied to photo stream when I connect the phone to wifi. Is there a way to make sure all photos are transferred so that I can retrieve them on my Mac?

    Thank you very much for the info! I'm just confused - why only a few photos not being able to be pushed to the photo stream. I'm guessing that's an issue with broken wifi connections or something. I'm just wondering if there is a way to re establish the sync so that all my photos are in photostream.
    I'm not too keen to use iTunes coz I think syncing over the cloud is exactly what the invention of photo stream is for. What do you think have caused this? Is there a fix? Cheers!

  • How do I add photos from camera roll to "My Photo Stream"

    I upgraded to iOS7. Used to be able to select photos -> share -> photostream -> and "My Photo Stream" was an option...
    In iOS7 i can not figure out how to do this. when I go to share -> icloud -> it shows other shared photo streams, but it does not show My Photo Stream as an option. If i try to add to album, i see My Photo Stream, but it's grey'ed out as a non option to click on?
    "My Photo Stream" is hooked up to my apple TV, and this was how I added photos from shared streams of other family memebers to it.

    Hi Bobnbo,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want the photos in your Camera Roll to be moved to My Photo Stream. The article linked below answers a lot of frequently asked questions about My Photo Stream, it should answer your question and give you some other general information you may be interested in also.

    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    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.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture automatically upload when you connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream upload.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and, under Favorites, select iCloud Photos if you're using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later (or Photo Stream if you're using 2.1 to 2.1.3). Open My Photo Stream. Click the Add photos button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't delete photos from camera roll

    I took several photos over the weekend and downloaded them to iPhoto last night. I chose the 'delete photos' option at the end, but today some of the photos were still there. I synced my iPhone just a few minutes ago, and iPhoto offered to download the handful that were still on the phone. I did, and chose to replace the duplicates in iPhoto with the versions on the phone. I again chose 'delete photos' but the photos were not removed from the phone. Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks!

    To delete large numbers of pictures from your Camera Roll, use the Image Capture app.
    Select the pictures you want to delete and click the red stop sign at the bottom.
    This might not work if you select too many pictures. Try selecting under 500 pictures each time.
    The delete function might fail after one or two times. You need to reconnect the iPhone so the app can reload the Camera Roll.
    Used it to delete 3.500 travel photos from my iPhone.

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll to give me more storage

    I Upgraded to an iPhone 4 from a 3GS (mainly because it was a 99¢ promotion).  I have only a little over 1GB—maybe less—left and it doesn't have music on it yet.  I figured my photos are the answer but can't figure out how to delete them from the camera roll.  Any body out there know how?.  Also other ways of getting more room on my 4?  I know a 4s comes with more unless someone gives one away, or another 99¢ promotion comes along I can't afford it on a fixed income.
    THanks!

  • Can't text photos from camera roll (iPhone 5, new ios)

    I go to photos, select a photo, select the button in the bottom left hand corner, select message, type in a contacts name, hit send - AND NOTHING.  It's like I'm not hitting send at all.  Then it goes back to camera roll.
    Anyone...?

    ohhhh yes, I have been looking for someone with this problem. This has haunted me since iOS 7 and Iphone 5. This carried through to my new iphone 5S. of course all apple tells me to do, is SIMPLE, just erase the phone erase all settings and dont restore from an older version. OH, ok apple that sounds so SIMPLE instead of apple just FIXING the problem ill spend a whole day starting from scratch on my phone back to factory setting and then it STILL doesn't work. Got to love apple!!
    This does the same thing when trying to share anything  via text message from within other apps like Maps also. BUT! we are on 7.2.2 NOW and guess what! Its still NOT fixed!! YAY apple!!
    After I restart my phone it does work for like 3 days and then it stops.  I know when it has reverted back to not working because if you notice, when you share within photo album or Maps and you select the persons name to send, it stalls and takes like 5 seconds to load the previous messages from the conversation.. right away I know that I am going to have to CUT and PASTE into the messaging app manually to get it to send. SUCH A PAIN APPLE!!! FIX PLEASE

  • How do i transfer photos from camera roll to photostream on my iPad2?

    I have 100s of pics on my iPad2 and set up Photostream ages ago, but only 2 pics are on it. I want to transfer all of my photos to Photostream so they appear in iCloud and so I can delete them from iPad2 and free up storage space.

    How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer.

  • With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

    With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

    If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up.  I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?
