Film rolls and photo dates out of whack

I opened my iPhoto ver. 5.04 the other day and noticed that thousands of pictures were absent. After doing a search here I tried rebuilding the library (using the option+command buttons at startup). While the rebuild returned the photos into iPhoto, they were all lumped into a single enormous film roll and most of the dates are reporting incorrectly in the iPhoto info window. The photos are still organized in the iPhoto library folders, but the application is not organizing nor recocnizing them correctly. What can I do?

doug:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not a lot. Evidently the library database got damaged and the rebuild date is probably the latest modified date for many of the files. Once you get to that point there's essentially nothing one can do.
A possible tip for future use is to put our new photos to be imported into a folder on the desktop first, date and name the folder and then import that folder into iPhoto, like this. The resulting roll will have the same title as the folder and the date will help with future organization.

Need Camera Roll and Photo Stream folders back

I don't understand why apple removed Cameral Roll and Photo Stream folders in Photo App. I used to move all photos in Camera Roll to my computer periodically. and I still can access last 1000 photos from Photo Stream folder if I want to access them, maybe I would upload some photos from Photo Stream folder to some apps like FB, Instagram etc.
But after I updated to iOS 8, app can never access that Photo Stream folder now, even it's still there and occupied lots of space ( if you go to usage menu you can see that).
How do I access photos in Photo Stream folder now??? I want it back. it's so inconvenience for me. anyone else would agree this??
Have done a lot of google, but nothing can help this.

This is the way Photo Stream has always worked:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream If you're using iCloud Control Panel 2.1 to 2.1.3, the path is C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream
Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

your photos are in events -
the most common cause of not seeing the events is bad camera dates or event sort being wrong so you are looking in the wrong place - see the view menu ==> sort events to correct sort - if the camera date is off select a photo and right click and show event to find it - then use the adjust time and date command to correct it
and you can drag photos to the desktop - what happens when you do? probably a better work flow with more flexibility is to select the photo(c) and export them (file menu ==> expoprt) to a desktop folder

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream are gone

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream disappeared. I have 7500 pictures in my camera roll... I see some of them sorted into "collections"... this is not how I would ever sort or collect my photos.. work documents, mixed with family photos, mixed with selfies my son took with the dog? please please please tell me there is a way to get my old camera roll back. This update is a disaster for iPhone photo users... Is photo stream gone as well?

This has been asked and answered DOZENS of times on here since last week. Please search the forum and you will definitely find your answer.

My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in camera roll and photo stream come back?

My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in came roll and photo stream come back?

Photos in the camera roll are included in your backup and should be recovered by restoring the backup to a replacement phone. Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you reconnect to photo stream you will get back any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.

What's the difference between "photo stream", 'camera roll' and 'photos' ?

I can't download the new update because I don't have enough storage. I bought more storage but my camera roll is 6.2 GB. Photo stream is 323 MB. Can someone please explain the difference between photo stream, camera roll, and photos. Thanks.

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;

What happened to camera roll and photo stream with newest IOS upgrade?

I have upgraded my iPad 3 to the newest IOS release, but not my iPhone so far. I noticed that Camera Roll and Photo Stream are still available on my iPhone but not on the iPad. What happened?

the he firet versions of iOS 8 replaced the PhotoStream and Camera Roll albums with the Recently Added album. The Recently Added album contains photos for thirty days then moves them to the Photo Collections area. This definitely caught many people by surprise. Apple announced on October 16th that the next update of iOS 8 which will be 8.1 will bring back the Camera Roll. 8.1 is scheduled to be available October 20 according to Apple.

A Pop up came up and asked if I wanted to share my photos with my other devices? I clicked yes and now all my camera roll and photo stream pics have all disappeared!! Well over 1000 pics??

What 'pop up' what did it actually say, and what were you doing when it said it,

How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

Photos taken with your iPhone go into Camera Roll and added to Photo Stream.
After 30 days, photos will be removed from Photo Stream. They will say in Camera Roll.
You should download Photo Stream photos to your computer regularly so you have them.

Importing old albums and photo data from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto6

Hi-
I recently got a Macbook Pro to replace my Powerbook G4 whose hard drive died. Luckily before it totally died, I got my iPhoto Library folder backed up on an external hard drive. I have all the album data files and library files as well as all the folders of photos.
I was running iPhoto 5 on my old machine, and this one came with iPhoto 6. I'm happy to have the upgrade, but I can't figure out how to import all the albums themselves and the data associated with the photos.
All I've been able to do is import the photos folder by folder from the "Originals" folder. The problem is that now all the photos are showing the date and time of when they were copied to the external drive, not when they were taken, and they are no longer sorted into albums.
I know that there must be a way to get back my data without going through and individually changing the dates on all the photos and trying to figure out what albums they belonged in and when they were taken. In the meantime, I have over 4000 photos which are sorted in absolutely no manner and have completely nonsensical dates!
I tried copying the files from the old iPhoto Library folder (AlbumData.xml, Dir.data, Library.cache, and Library.data) into my new iPhoto Library folder, but apparently there is something else that needs to be done, since this effectively did nothing.
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Lunarcleo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All you need to do is copy your V5 library folder intact into the Pictures folder on the MBP. I'd then download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This is just to make sure the ownership and access is correctly set before you run iPhoto 6 and update the library to the new version.
When you first launch iPhoto 6 is will tell you that it needs to update the library so select Update. That's all there is to it. Then V6 library will have all of the albums, keywords, comments, etc. that the V5 version had.

Stray film rolls and pics

Hi.
Was just going through my library and I have found something strange.
Sorting by rolls I have roll 92 ( May 8th 2003) next roll is 420, which also says it was imported on the same date.
Problem is there are pics in that roll from the same time but in 2005! (May 8th 2005) Also there are some Halloween pics in the same roll from October 2005. I am guessing that when I updated or installed ilife this might have happened. Any way fr me to change this?
Also when I sort by date the 2005 pics are with the 2003 pics.
(the dates on the pics are also correct...)
HELP!
Thanks

Sean:
You're probably right about the cause. You can drag a photo from one roll to another. You can also edit the date of a roll or photos by selecting it and the going to the date field in the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane. It's a bit tedious one at a time but here's no easy way. You can use the Photos->Batch Change menu option to batch change the date and time on a group of selected photos and add a user chosen time differential between each photo.
Do you Twango?

Could someone explain photostream, camera roll and photo albums?

I have a new iPHONE 5C, but am very confused in what are, and differences between, the iPHONE's camera roll, photo stream, and photo albums.
If someone could explain what these are, what they do, I'd appreciate it.
RIght off the bat, I understand photos and videos I take with my 5C first get stored in the unit's camera roll. Is that right?
OK, then I get confused as to / how to add (separate) my photos/videos into photo albums.
Also, I get confused as to IF I'd want to delete photos from photo albums, does that mean they ALSO get deleted from my 5C's camera roll (or internal memory somewhere?)
I just took 20 precious videos that I cannot afford to lose... should I backup these 20 videos first to my HP laptop PC (I have Windows 7 OS) before I try to copy to a photo album I'd want to create just for these 20 videos??
My icloud (don't even understand what icloud is or how it works! ) is full - so I'd like to delete photos I don't really care for from my 5C - will that give me more space in the iCLOUD for backups?
I'm very confused... any tips/pointers here would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi TurquoiseBlue
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
I will be happy to help you today.
So what I will do is explain the difference and if you have any other issue I will respond to them ASAP.
Camera Roll: This is every photo that has been take on this device and once it is deleted I will be deleted from all folders on that Phone however it will be backed up to iCloud Photos if it is enabled on your device.
My Photo Stream: This is a place where every photo you have taken in the last 30 days (with I think a limit of 10,000) are stored. The images here are all images taken on any device that used the same iCloud/Apple iD as the phone. So this means that if you took a picture on your iPod 15 days and it uses the same account as your iPhone the image taken will be on your iPhone and any other iOS and Mac OS X device that have the same account under Photo Stream. My Photo Stream is basically the Cloud storage of images.
Photo Albums: Consist of all images from the Camera role that have also been placed into an album. So if you want to sort some images from the camera role and have them in folders such as wedding, birthdays e.c.t these images will be there AND in the Camera role. If you delete the images from an album other than Camera role the images will go from that folder but will remain in the Camera role. If you delete an image from the Camera Role it will be removed from Camera Role and any other folder that is created.
Basically photos work like a flow chart.
Image Taken ⇒ Camera Role.
If there is iCloud Photos on: image ⇒ Photo Stream and therefore accessible on another iOS/Mac OS X device using same iCloud/Apple iD.
Just to repeat as I know this is crucial and important information.
If an image is deleted from Camera Role that image is wiped from the device. However there is still a copy of that photo in iCloud Photos but remember those images are only there for 30 days so don't rely on it to keep that image.
Delete an image from photo stream it is wiped from the iCloud sync of that image to all iOS/Mac OS X device using iCloud Photos using same iCloud/Apple iD. YOU WILL STILL HAVE THAT IMAGE IN CAMERA ROLE HOWEVER.
Photo Albums. Delete an image there and it will be removed JUST from the folder. Delete and image from Camera Role that is also in a folder and it will be wiped from the Camera role and Photo Album. However there is still a copy of that photo in iCloud Photos but remember those images are only there for 30 days so don't rely on it to keep that image.
Just quickly iCloud Photos is a way of keeping a cloud copy of those photos on all your iOS/Mac OS X device using the same iCloud/Apple iD as I am sure you have worked out already.
With iCloud Photos you can also share images using a shared photo stream where people can add, comment and like images there.
In short don't rely on iCloud Photos to keep an image if you want to delete an image from the photo stream because most likely when you will want the image, it will be gone.
Of course Apple might explain it better than me and so this link should verify what I said and reinforce what iCloud Photos does: http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-photo-sharing.html
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
