Does the iPhone save photos in the camera roll uniquely in a serial order?

Hi there.
Just to be in the safe side, and for backup purposes I want to make sure whether the iPhone ALWAYS saves photos in the camera roll uniquely in a serial order or not.
In other words, If I copied the photos on my iPhone to my PC and then deleted them from my camera roll and later I had taken new ones, then:
Is it going to keep on naming my the new photos sequentially or is it going use the vacant numbers of the old ones. So that when backing up my photos again the new ones will replace the old ones?
Please, answer me.
Thanks.

They get a new unique number like img_XXXX.jpg

Iphone and photos not on camera roll

Hello All,
I hope you can help me ..
So our EVP of sales has a home IMAC and it was failing so he he synchronized his Iphone to grab all his pictures off of Iphoto to his Iphone.
Now he has them all on his iphone but now he wants to put them back on his iphoto on his macbook pro or new IMAC.
any thoughts , i know when i plug his phone into his macbook it only lets me move his pictures form his camera roll and nothing else , if I click the sync feature in itunes it wants to update and hes afraid the iphoto will over write his iphone and he will lose all his pictures.
Thoughts , suggestions

The sync/transfer process for photos from a computer to an iPhone is a one way transfer process ONLY - from the computer to the iPhone, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
Photos transferred from a computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as the first step during the iTunes sync/transfer process for this data - the original resolution of these photos is reduced.
Has the home iMac completely failed yet? If no, he needs to use an external drive for transferring these photos - he can copy the iPhoto Library folder and place the folder in the same location on his MBP with iPhoto quit when doing so.
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.

HT201317 how do I save photos in my "camera roll" to "my photo stream" so that I can save them to icloud?

Ive tried saving photos to my photostream but whenever i select a photo in my camera roll and i click "add to" it doesnt allow me to add it to any pre-existing albums or to even add it to "my photo stream". Please help me get this figured out. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Only photos taken with the Camera or saved to the Camera Roll are sent to PhotoStream. You can cause photos already in the Camera Roll to go to PhotoStream by various roundabout fashions like emailing them to yourself and then saving them.
The point is, however, that putting photos into PhotoStream is in no way "saving them". PhotoStream only retains 1000 photos and those for only 30 days.
If you want to archive photos save them to your computer or save them to a cloud service like Dropbox.

By what methood does the iPhone sort photos in the Photo Library?

I would like to have all of our family photos get sorted chronologically in the Photo Library on the iPhone. However, much of our photos are from scans so they have the scanned time in the time stamp as opposed to when they were actually taken. If I manually put the time in iPhoto will that affect how the iPhone Photo Library sorts the photos? The iPhone doesn't appear to sort by name, so a method of renaming photos beginning with the date (YearMonthDay - 19920127) probably would not affect how the iPhone Photo Library sort them. Is there a way to do this?

OK yes Loading apps are faster...But for some reason 4 got latency and lag once in a while compared to the 3GS...its not a zippy...its wierd to explain...but theres a lot of post about it here.
Im guessing the A4 chip is not 1GHz since performance is not that big of a difference compared to the 3GS, Where as the 3GS was big improvement from the 3g and thats only less than 200MHz difference.

What is the difference between photo stream and camera roll?

And...what is iPhoto? Confused by all of the terminology

Photo Stream is a feature of iCloud;
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
The Camera Roll is an album on the iPad with any photos that you transfer from a camera or memory card using the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad or any screen shots that you take with the iPad or any photos that you take with the cameras on an iPad 2, as opposed to any albums that you have synced to the iPad from your computer using the iTunes app. The Camera Roll comes and goes as needed. If you have no photos that would go into the Camera Rol, it disappears, and returns when it is needed.
iPhoto is an Apple photo app for the Mac computer. It is part of the iLife suite of Mac apps;

TS1503 If I turn off photo stream on my I phone 5 will I loose the pictures in photo stream and camera roll?

I have duplicate pictures in my camera roll and photo stream. If I turn off photo stream will I loose pictures in both areas?

If you turn off Photo Stream, all photos in Photo Stream only, will be removed from your device.

HT201317 What's the difference between photo stream and camera roll??And am I doubling the storage I use if a photo is in the camera roll and an album?

Anyone there that can help me with photos and iCloud storage?

Thanks. I remembered to do a search after I created that post, found the above thread you referenced (and others), and then tried to go back and delete my post but wasn't able to. Is it not possible to delete one's own posts here?

How do I erase pictures from my iPhone 3GS Photo Stream and Camera Roll

Just want to clear the photos I now have on my photo stream on my iPhone. Can't seem to do that.

Wait for iOS 5.1. Don't ask when though. I have no idea either!

HT4236 once I sync my photos from my PC to my iphone where do I find them on the iphone? I went to camera icon, then to camera roll, but all I see are the photos I took on the iphone.

There are two ways to view ITHMB files. The first is to convert them to a more standard format, such as JPEG. You can try doing this with the help of the free utility, ithmbconv. The second way is to use the program iThmb Converter. It will let you view files without converting.

After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

After updating my software to iOS 6 when I take a photo in an app on my iPhone such as Instagram and camwow when the photos go my camera roll they are black..why?

I upgraded an iPhone 4 from IOS 4 to IOS 6 and had similar problems here is what I did.
Problem:
Using the Camera App from the initial screen (a view finder for me) there is an icon on the lower left side with my last photo taken. When I select this icon the image is displayed and on the upper left side of the screen the Camera Roll button appears.
I select the Camera Roll button and all my images show up as black on a white background. I can select a black square and my image will apear.
Using the Instagram App when I try to select from my Camera Roll I see the same black boxes, and Instagram is not saving photos to my Camera Roll.
Fixing Instagram not saving problem:
Go to Settings:Privacy:Photos
Move the Instagram slider to ON
Back to the images not showing in the Camera Roll.
Someone suggested doing a reset (hold down sleep and home button for 10 seconds). After doing the reset the problem was worse. From the Camera App selecting the last photo icon from the view finder screen and the Camera Roll screen apears but says there are no saved images.
Fixing the Camera Roll not showing correctly problem:
Set Settings:General:Restrictions to ON (You will be prompted to create a password)
Select Settings:General:Restrictions ON>
Toggle the Camera slider to ON if it isnt already
This worked for me. Your milage may vary. Good luck.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. I synced them to my computer, the ones on my photo stream. can I delete the pictures in my camera roll? and still have the pictures on my computer? or do i have to save them from icloud folder to

Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC. Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer. If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

IPhone 4S photos on the info tab of iPhoto are 3,1Mpx. How I change the camera to 8Mpx?

iPhone 4S photos on the info tab of iPhoto are 3,1Mpx. How I change the camera to 8Mpx?

Zoom out.
There are not settings to control the image quality, the device always takes the largest image possible. Zooming in will cause the image to be a lower resolution.

Where are all the "DCIM" folders on iPhone? Everything not in Camera Roll.

I just finished stripping down all the DCIM folders accessible from a PC via Windows Explorer. I'm really looking for answers on the "how to", not "why it is" or "it just is that way" please.
The DCIM folders (mine [iPhone 5 w iOS 7.x] shows 5, naming convention is beyond me). These consist of the following...
Total files equals the total number of pictures/videos in Camera Roll.
     - JPEGs (iPhone Created, iMSG Saved, or Moved (file xfr/emailed) to iPhone & Saved to Camera Roll),
     - PNGs (screenshots)
     - QuickTime Videos (iPhone Created & iMSG Saved to Camera Roll)
What is not accessible in the DCIM folder, but visible via Photos & Albums on the iPhone, are the following,
     - Instagram
     - Facebook
     - User created folders, mine came from iTools
     - Access to Albums created on the iPhone
               * If I organized on the iPhone, why can't I access that organization via the DCIM folder?
What I know, if a file/image is in a user created folder, I cannot access it from Instagram. An image must exist in Camera Roll for Instagram to be able to access it... aka I have to save the file to Camera Roll.
iCloud & iTunes, are not answers to the question, "How do I access all otherwise PC-considered "DCIM" folders?" when the only access allowed is "My iPhone --> Internal Storage --> DCIM --> '5 Folders housing all Camera Roll images/videos"
As you can read, this is not a question "What is Camera Roll?", I just defined what it is above.
Thank you!

Maybe this will help you with a description of how iOS sorts photos. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4221.
As far as creating folders while in Camera Roll, the camera roll is not really designed to store photos on a long term basis, hense why if something happens to the iPhone, you lose your photos. It is designed for you to import the photos to the computer and do your organization there, and then sync the photos back to the device via iTunes. Then, should something happen to the iPhone, your photos are still safe on the computer. The ability to create folders and arrange photos through the Camera Roll is rather new. I'm not sure how it handles them, but earlier versions just put a "shortcut" so to speak in the folders you created, with the original file remaining in the Camera Roll. I'm not sure how that may have changed, but I am not sure how it handles these folders now. Seems you have discovered some of this by your comment on Instagram.
I do know that in Windows, and from what I have read it is the same on a Mac, you cannot use Explorer to put photos back into the Camera Roll. While you can read from the Camera Roll, you cannot write to it with the computer. Someone may be able to dispute that, but natively through Windows I can be sure that writing to the Camera Roll is not allowed.
Regarding your comment about the SD card, it is true, despite the fact the iPhone uses Flash memory, you cannot write to certain areas of the memory, and as I stated earlier, the Camera Roll is one of them. While it will save photos from the camera, and will also allow you to save photos from email, messages or other applications, it does not allow you to copy materials from the computer. This is the way Apple designed it.
I believe I read in your other post that someone suggested you use the feedback channel, but in case I was wrong, here it is. If you want Apple to see your comments, you need to post there, as they do not participate in the forum. The feedback link is www.apple.com/feedback and then click on the appropriate link.
