How do I back up my photo stream album photos (not in camera roll) to USB?

Is their a way I can directly save my photo stream to my computer? I have deleted many pictures from my camera roll and wish to keep photos in their respective photostream albums as there are over a thousand! The only way I can seem to do it is to save the pictures back to my camera roll and back up to USB as normal but that then duplicates any photos I haven't deleted in the camera roll?! Help!

How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your Photo Stream the same way you delete other photos from your device. Just select the photo you want to remove and tap or click Delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices.
Note: Deleting individual photos from Photo Stream is supported by iOS 5.1 or later, iPhoto 9.2.2 or later, Aperture 3.2.3 or later, and Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later. You will need to manually delete photos you downloaded to iOS devices running iOS 5.0.1 or earlier after updating to iOS 5.1.
The photos you want to keep, back them up on your comp or on another drive

How do you delete the images in the Iphone images album. Not the camera roll. There is an album called Iphone images and there is not a delete option

The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

How do I get photos from old iPhone (not in camera roll) to my computer?

I have an old iphone (the first model) that has photos on it that I would like to transfer to my Mac, but the photos are not in Camera Roll so my Mac isn't recognizing they are there. I think they are pics from a previous phone that the Apple Store employee transferred over for me. Is there any way I can get these onto my computer?? Thanks in advance!

The photos not in the camera roll were synched from another computer. They are not of the original quality as the photos on that old computer; some may be of such poor resolution that they may not even be fit for printing. Nonetheless, the only way to get them off your computer is to mail them to yourself. You can search the internet for some sort of photo extractor, but it won't be an Apple product and we can't help you with that on this forum.

HT201317 Some photos go to Photo Stream and some go to Camera Roll. How to fix this so that all go to Photo Stream when I take pics?

Sometimes when I take pics on my iPhone 4s the some of the pics go to the Photo Stream while others go to the Camera Roll. Why do they not all go to the camera roll? How to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
If the problem persists:
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

4s has 5000 photos on it computer crashed so i have a new one how do i put all photos onto computer and not just camera roll ones

My computer crashed and my i phone 4s has over 5000 photos on it ,ive reinstalled itunes but i want to know how to get all photos from phone to computer ,im to scared to snc it as i dont know if i will loose all the photos ,i can get camera roll by basic computer hook up can some one tell me how to do this without loosing my photos thankyou to anyone who can help

to copy photos from your iPhone to your computer you can either use photo stream via icloud and the icloud control panel for windows see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html OR plug your phone in and open up your "my computer" and navigate to your iPhone it should provide you with a way to view the photos just like any digital camera.

I have pictures on my phone that I can not delete. There is no trashcan. These pictures are in albums and not the camera roll itself. How can I delete them?

My wife and I decided that we needed separate accounts for our two 4s phones. To do this, the data from her phone needed to be transferred out, then transferred back in under the different account. The pictures were transferred back in using Itunes. These appear as separate albums in the "photos" app. I would like to delete some (or all) the pictures in these extra albums, but there is no trashcan to put them in. I can only delete pictures in the "camera roll" itself. These pictures are taking up valuable memory and I would like to free up some space. How can I delete them?

You're welcome.
As it relates to pictures, iTunes will only do two things: it will transfer photos from your computer to your device (if you select to Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings); and it will include the camera roll photos on your device in your device backup (if you back up to your computer rather than to iCloud). It does not transfer photos from your phone, only to your phone. (Transferring photo from your phone to your computer is done by importing them as expained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
The only area where you might lose pictures by syncing would be if you synced your phone while selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and the photos you had previously synced to your phone from your computer were no longer on your computer. iTunes is syncing photos one-way; ensuring that the photos transferred from your computer match the photos still on your computer. If you delete the photos from your computer, then sync, the deleted photos are then removed from your phone.
This does not effect photos in the camera roll or in your photo stream, it only effects photos in the Photo Library album and albums containing photos in the Photo Library album.
The deleted photos would have been placed in the recycle bin when you originally deleted them from the computer. Nothing is put in the recycle bin when syncing with iTunes.

Photos in albums get mixed in camera roll on iPhone 6P

Hello
I've been using IFTTT to save my instagram pictures in an album but the thing is those pics get in the camera roll too, how can I separate them and keep each in its place.
I've been using iPhone 6 plus and the latest IOS 8.1.1.

The photos are actually only in one place which is the Camera Roll. The album does not actually contain photos. Rather it contains pointers to the actual photo filesw in the camera rol

HT4910 how do you remove pics from my ipad that are not in camera roll?

I have a couple thousand pics on my ipad that I put on from my laptop a long time ago. they are not on the camera roll. I can delete those but can't figure out haw to remove the rest. I updated I tunes and can't find were it shows the files on my device. can anyone help?

If you want to remove all of your synced photos .....
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right or in the left sidebar, if you have the sidebar enabled.
Click on Photos at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
Uncheck the "Sync Photos From" heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
IF that doesn't work, create an empty folder on your desktop and call it "Empty Folder". Select that folder in the "Sync Photos From" heading in the photos tab of iTunes and then click on Apply. That will also remove all synced photos.

Save photos in albums but not in the roll?

I want to organize my pictures in albums but delleting them from the camara roll... is that posible? if not, does it take more memory from my iphone, bacouse of the double copy???

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly, as you would with any digital camera.
You can then organize them however you like and sync whatever you like to your iphone

My photo stream is setup on my iPhone 5 and my ipad 2. I take picture on my phone and I can't find them on my ipad? I read where it said they go to your photo stream album...but where is that at?

This may be a silly question but I can't find my pictures. I have photo stream setup on my iPad 2 and my iPhone 5. I also have iCloud on and I setup my email address. I even tried turning photo stream off and back on. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi uscammie,
The My Photo Stream album does not appear when iCloud Photo Library is enabled. If this feature is enabled on your iPhone, it's storing your iPhone's photos in the cloud.
Get help with your iCloud Photo Library

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.

I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
