Does the camera roll need to be backed up?

does the camera roll need to be backed up?

No, it just comes to your personal preference, if you would like to make backup of your photos for the worst case. I personally prefer other cloud storage services (like Dropbox: https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ, or Flickr) for saving my photos and personal videos, because you cannot easily access single photos from a iCloud backup.

In the photos app I have 2 camera rolls and 1 photo gallery. Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks. Please help

In the photos app I have 2 camera rolls and 1 photo gallery. Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks.

How does the camera roll pictures transfer to my pc

my picures off my camera roll are not transferring to my photo stream pictures on my computer

do you have a digital camera that you connect to your computer?...if so, its the exact same process with the iPhone.....
When you connect to your computer, it should recognize the iPhone just like if you were connecting a digital camera...the "photo wizard" box should pop up and then you choose "from scanner or digital camera"(or something like that)...then, it will let you download your pictures to a folder on your computer.
you don't need to have iTunes running to do this either

When you use icloud to back up your iPhone does it delete the camera roll after 30 days or just the photo stream?

I have my phone backed up to icloud but for unnamed reasons I cannot restore from icloud back up at the moment. I'm worried about my pictures. Will the back up of the camera roll delete after 30 days or is that just the photo stream?

The statement is directly from Apple and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Keep in mind, pictures showing in PhotoStream does not mean they will be there when a new device is added, only that they have been downloaded by the device they are displaying on.
In other words, if a new iDevice is added to the account, it will only download the last 1,000 pictures taken in the last 30 days, not every picture showing on other iDevices in PhotoStream.

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:

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!

I changed jobs and had to change emails/Apple ID. Before doing so, I did not save my photos from the photo stream to the camera roll. Now, all the old pictures that are still on my iPhone are not streaming to the iPad, only new ones. Please help.

I changed jobs and had to change email/AppleID. Before doing so, I did not copy the pics on the photo stream of my iPad to the album and now the only pics being synce with my iPad are new pics either saved or taken on phone. Old pics are still on phone. There has to be a way to get these pics to be able to stream them on to iPad, right?

You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream. They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
So this is a 2 part question:
1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
Thanks, Janis

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

After sorting my pictures into albums, I deleted them from the camera roll, now they're all gone. Including the ones filed in the albums. Would it be possible to get them back ?

after sorting my pictures into albums, I deleted them from the camera roll, includings the ones filed in the albums. Would it e possible to get them back ?

A photo in the Camera Roll cannot be in an album unless the photo remains in the Camera Roll. Photos in an album or not duplicated. A photo in an album includes a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage. Photos/videos can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
The Camera Roll is included with your iPhone's backup. If your iPhone's backup has been updated to include all photos that were in the Camera Roll and has not been updated since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so and decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore.

How do i get pictures back i deleted from the camera roll?

Not from the fotostream folder. I wanted to split up my pictures into smaller folders, so I copied the pictures to my new folder and deleted them in the main folder. They're all gone now.
There is a backup from early last night, but I'm looking for a solution so I have a way of just getting my photos back without having to install the backup.
If there's no other way, then that's what I'll do.
The photos on the camera roll are alot older than the ones on the fotostream. The oldest ones are from when the iPhone 3GS just arrived in stores.
Please help, I wasn't smart enough to put them on a disc first, but I'm sure this among other things is what iCloud is for.

Aaaaaaand in addition to all of the above, the pictures i lost didnt show up in my fotostream. Does that mean theres no backup of those? Only sat in the camera roll, and they were taken with this phone.

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.

Does iPhone Packager CS 5.5 support camera access and LOADING images from the camera roll?

Flash CS 5 only supports SAVING to the camera roll, not loading image from it. And it has no access to the camera to take pictures and access the image within the app.
Does Flash CS 5.5 do these things? There's no point in upgrading if it doesn't support these core feature that I need.

Hi.
Just got an app rejected because the popover to select the pics from the camera roll on the iPad always appears on to-left corner, and the arrow doesn't point anywere, and should be pointing to the button which activated it. That "does not comply with the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required...". On the iPhone there's no issue because it takes over the whole screen. More from the apple rejection message:
"Specifically, we noticed your app contained popover elements that didn't point to the element that revealed them. To avoid user confusion, a popover element's arrow should point to the element that revealed it."
So, thanks for including the CameraRoll functionality, but it will be useless in the iPad apparently
Any workaround to make it appear at a specific place when calling myCameraRoll.browseForImage() ?

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen. Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system. After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

Does any1 hav issues with not being able to send pic from the camera roll. I've already had issues with over exposure that the new update fixed but it left me with this issue.

Since getting my iPhone 5 I've had camera issues. To start with it was over exposure, the camera was flashing too early and leaving me with dark pictures. After a failed reset I visited the apple store, where they told me it was a known problem and apple were working on a update to fix the issue and it was just a
waiting game. Once the update was available I did it immediately and the problem seemed to be fixed. I've now noticed that from the camera roll I carnt send a picture to mms. It gives me the option but the screen completely freezes after I've chosen it. The only way to access my camera roll again is to completely close the camera roll down and reopen it. The strange thing it it will let me send it as an email and upload taught to Facebook etc just not as an mms. The other strange thing is if I go to msgs and add a photo I'm successful but if I try to edit the photo I want to send 1st then I get the same issue as the camera roll. I also have issues with the shutter taking ages to open. Is anyone else havin these issue before I go back to the apple shop. A complete reset hasn't worked

Photo Stream only handles images and your videos are not uploaded or shared with other devices.
Use iPhoto to import from your device. It can bring in the videos and image files.

I need to transfer a mac iMovie video to the camera roll of my iPad, is this possible?

I have a MacBook Pro with iMovie, an iPad 3 and a PC. I took video on the iPad, created a movie on the Mac with iMovie and now I want to save that movie back to the camera roll in the iPad so I can transfer it to the PC and share it with others on PC. Is this possible? How else could I get this video on my PC?
I can not email the file it is too large.
I am at the office an unable to connect iPad or MacBook to wifi for any cloud sharing.
Thanks,
Mike

When I first read the question I thought, "How can (s)he not know how to do that?" But before I answered with what I thought would be obvious, I looked at iMovie on my iPad and realized it's not so clear. So here it is.
Go out to the home screen and select Projects at the top of the screen,
Tap on the project you want to export to the Camera Roll,
Select the icon in the middle which looks like a box with an arrow pointing up [^],
Save Movie is your next selection,
Choose which resolution you want to save the movie in,
You can now find it in your Camera Roll.
I'm very glad you asked actually because I tried exporting a movie I shot in 1080p in the lowest resolution, 320p, and it still looks great--I mean like YouTube great, not Vimeo great.

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now whenever i take a picture it doesnt save to the camera roll. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now whenever i take a picture it doesnt save to the camera roll. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Same problem on im iPhone4 / iOS6 with normal camera!
The camera takes a picture but the picture (video) doesnt appear in my Photos and therefore is not saved!

Does the camera roll need to be backed up?
