Is there any way to get camera roll pics from Jan-Apr of this year that are stored in a backup of an iPhone on iCloud without overwriting the current iPhone data (and pics)?

OK, here's a fun challenge for everyone out there. My wife got an iPhone 5 for Christmas (2012) last year, and we purchased the iCloud backup to go with the new phone. She was backing up her iPhone as usual (when plugged in and connected to Wifi), including the camera roll (we didn't figure out how to use the Photostream feature until AFTER we had to reset her phone as described below).
So...in April 2013, she had to reset her phone--wipe out everything on it--and start over again. At that time, we discovered the photostream feature, and have been backing up pics from her iPhone to my PC (and a portable hard drive) since April. But, we do NOT have our pics from Jan-Apr 2013, and are both kind of freaking out that we lost 3 months of our kids lives (including both birthdays). I believe they are stored on iCloud (as part of a back up image from her iPhone stored on iCloud). I would like to get those pictures, but the only way I've seen from user threads to get those pictures is to RE-load a backup image on her iPhone, then take the camera roll pics and put all the pictures on a shared photostream so that I can then get them on my PC and save them off. But, to do that, my wife would have to put her phone back 8 months, which as anyone could understand is not something to be done lightly (it is her work phone also).
So, long story short, we have some pics on iCloud that I need to get to---how do we get back those pictures? Can someone from Apple pull down the backup image to get to the pics, then put them on our iCloud photostream?
Thanks so much for your help, and Happy New Year!

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

Is there a way to retrieve camera roll photos after failed backup

I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes. PLEASE help me.

The Camera Roll photos should have restored, as they are part of the backup, unless you had a corrupted backup. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Restore from Backup. If you are given a choice of backups choose one from before you replaced the phone.
However, the Camera Roll is not intended as a permanent store for photos; they should be transferred to a photo app on your computer or Photo Stream frequently, to avoid the situation you are now facing.

Is there any way to save all your addressbook contacts to gmail?

I need to send all my contacts to my work phone which is an android HTC EVO with sprint id like to be able to sign into my gmail account on the android and access all my iphone contacts. If that is completely impossible I would be fine with a syncing option. I have the mac noteboook if there is anyway to save iphone contacts to the computer then transfer them to my android. I have been searching the intrenet but have not found a simple way to do this. My biggest concern is that I do not have to do this all manually . If you know of any good back up apps or any advice please let me know.

You can use one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

Easiest way to delete Camera Roll photos which were imported by iPhoto through Photostream?

So I have a bunch of photos on my iOS device that were properly uploaded to my Photostream. Then, iPhoto dutifully imported them on my MacBook Pro and place them in my iPhoto library. So now I have a bunch of photos on my iOS device that iPhoto reads as "Already Imported". If I try to import them, I get the usual warning about a Duplicate Photo. I don't want to import duplicate photos and choosing not to import them leaves them on my iOS device.
So is there a more elegant way of getting them off my iOS device instead of manually deleting them?
This is an ok idea until I have over 100 photos and the deletion process becomes a tedious tapping afair.
Thanks!

HT4946 how can I save videos from my iPad/iPhone camera roll to my computer or hard drive

As per above, I am searching for a way to save camera roll videos and pictures to my PC computer or external hard drive as my iPad is full. If I need to I would also need to import them back on my iPad in future.

kewl man has given you one option to move the photos and videos to your computer. You can also use Photo WiFi Transfer apps to move the photos and videos to your computer.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-wifi-quickly/id674978018?mt=8
Once the photos are on your computer, you can place them into folders that you can sync back to the iPad or just use the WiFi apps to transfer the photos back to the iPad.

Photostream overly complicated, can't save photos to Camera Roll

For those of us who like to manage our photos manually, why is it so overly complicated to manage images between Photostream and Camera Roll?
First, I just want to save photos from my old iPhone, which I added to from iPhoto to my Photostream because it seemed to be the only way, to my Camera Roll. This is not possible though. When I go to Photostream and select photos then select "Add To" it shows Camera Roll but it does not allow me to select Camera Roll and add them. The only option I can select is to create a new album within Photostream. If I just select an image in Photostream and then hit the share button, it also does not give me a save to Camera Roll option.
I only want to use the Camera Roll, yet even with Photostream turned off, photos I take on my iPhone still show up in the Photostream.
I just don't understand why this is so complicated. I've seen forum discussions that say it's easy to save Photostream photos to Camera Roll, but I've tried every way mentioned but it never gives me the option of saving to Camera Roll.
Help please. Thanks.

Create an album for your old photos. Connect your phone to iTunes on your computer. On the phone's summary page tap the Photos tab. Check the Sync photos from checkbox. Click the button next to the checkbox. Navigate to the folder on your computer where the pictures are located. Add them to your album.
Doing this in reverse is the only way to get these pictures back off your phone.
I agree iCloud / Photostream for photos is way to complicated and useless, but it is locked down to keep people from trying to use it to share commercial videos and music via the shared photostream. At least that is my guess.

How can I find/sync my old iPhone camera roll photos?

I've searched about 5 different ways here on the forums and can't find an answer to this question. I recently upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4. I backed up the old phone and just sold it a couple of days ago. Here's my problem: I can't find the folder containing my (old) camera roll photos so I can sync them to my new iPhone. I'm aware that iTunes doesn't back up camera roll photos, however I understand they are saved as part of the standard backup process. Are they included in the "iPod Photo Cache" and, if so, can I use this to copy them onto my new phone? Note that I was unaware until today that I can save camera roll photos on my PC using Windows Camera and Scanner or Adobe Photoshop; I'll start doing that tonight so I'll have them in a separate folder from now on. I'm running Windows Vista on my PC, FYI.
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way for me to save what's currently on my phone?
No. If you restore your new phone from a previous backup, all data on your phone will be erased & replaced with the data from your backup. However, if you don't want to do that you can see if this will recover the photos in question from your 3GS backup:

Camera Roll Album cannot be selected

The Camera roll Album ( photos app ) located at the top of the screen, cannot be selected as it's partially hidden beneath a transparent grey screen with the title "Albums" on it!
This used to be ok before 4.3 but now the only way to select Camera Roll is via the Camera.....
Any ideas how to fix this stupid software stuffup

This happened to me the other day. I was able to fix just by quitting and relaunching the Photos app.
1) Press the home button once to get to the Home Screen.
2) Double press the Home button it to bring up the multitasking bar.
3) Click and hold on the Photos App.
4) Once the - signs come up on the apps, click on Photos to quit it.
When you relaunch Photos, I bet the problem will have cleared itself up.

Camera Roll and tiff

I am looking for a way to get Camera Roll to export a tiff. Here is the issue, I have installed ProCam2 on my iPad (4th Gen) running iOS 7.0.6 which allows me to use my iPad as a DSLR and to capture images as tiff. I need to upload that tiff to Islandora, a repository platform I use for work. The upload dialog in Islandora allows me to upload from the camera or Camera Roll. Choosing Camera Roll I can see the tiff, but Camera Roll uploads a jpeg instead.
I can't quite figure out where the issue lies, though it seems to be in the upload process. When I import the image into iPhoto it is a tiff and if I add the image to Dropbox from Camera Roll its a tiff. But If I email the tiff it goes out as a jpeg.
Ideas or suggestions?

No, effectively you are just creating pointers to those photos in the new albums, so if you delete the original photo then you also be deleting all pointers to them as well

Problems in accessing Camera Roll images using HTML 5 technology

Hello,
I have developed a application using HTML 5 technology. This application is supportable to iPhone 4S. In this application, if we try to upload an image from "Camera Roll" it's not returning properly. The result image is rotated, squeezed and in different format. But this is working perfectly if we upload the image from other folders like Photo Stream.
No idea why the images from Camera Roll is not returning in proper format.
Your help and support is much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Abdul
I've looked at your app and really like the way it accesses Camera Roll - I would be interested in learning more about this project - is there any way I can get in touch with you? Do you have another web site ?

Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone?

Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone? I purchased the ipad and when I went to set it up I chose restore from iPhone. All the apps transferred and the photos in the stream but not the camera roll. When I restored a new iPhone the camera roll transferred.
is there a way to get camera roll on ipad?
Thanks

Camera Roll photos from an iPhone backup will not be transferred to an iPad. iPhone to iPhone will transfer the Camera Roll, but iPhone to iPad, or iPad to iPhone will not transfer the Camera Roll.

How can I save MULTIPLE text pictures to camera roll?!

Help. I've google searched it w no success so figured I'd post here.
I have the iPhone 4S. Version iOS 7.0.4(most up to date)
There are many times I have a lot of pics sent to me in a text (for ex: 1 entire text message from 1 contact but they sent me 15 pics)
Is there a way to save ALL 15 at once?! I've tried holding the image, the "more" option but no options prompt/allow me to save all to camera roll in one shot.
Only way I'm seeing to save to camera roll is by going to each individual pic & saving one by one to my camera roll which is entirely too time consuming!
Help! Thanks!

No.
iCloud isn't a file storage service.
You can backup your camera roll but you can only restore the entire roll to the device.
Backup your photos to your computer.
