How do i delete pictures from the camera roll, but keep them in different albums?

i have added pictures from my camera roll into different albums. but every time i try to delete the ones from the camera roll, it asks if i want to delete the picture from everywhere or cancel. how do i keep them in the other albums, but delete them from the camera roll?

You can't because the actual photo is in camera roll.  The albums only contain links to the photos.  If you delete the photo from camera roll it will be gone from your phone and therefore also removed from any albums that contain links to it.

  • HT201317 I add all photos taken on camera roll to individual albums. However, once a photo is deleted from camera roll, it's also deleted from the albums where it also resides. Is there a way to delete or clear out the camera roll but keep them in albums?

  • How do you delete photos from the Camera roll without losing duplicates in Albums?

    Please help thanks!

    Correct, they are only links, not separate copies. At the moment you can't directly on an iPad, albums that you create directly on it only contain links, not actual photos. You could copy the photos to your computer, organise them on there, and then sync those albums back - or you could use a third-party photo app such as the Photo Manager Pro app that I linked to in your other thread

  • TS3992 If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud?

    If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud? or will all pictures remain in iCloud?

    They will be erased.  The backup only includes the data (and photos) on the iPad at the time of the backup.  To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer as explained here before deleting them: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    My iCloud storage is almost full.  I keep deleting pictures from my camera roll and it makes no difference on the backup storage used.  Any thoughts?

    See if the estimated size of your camera roll in your backup options agrees with what is reported in Settings>General>Usage>Photos.  If it's significantly different, try resetting your device (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  Then check again.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you mean from photostream, AFAIK you can't.

  • I have just went to the Apple Retail Store and purchased an HDMI adapter that plugs into the bottom of my iPhone 4. When I asked the sales person if I could watch the videos and pictures from the camera roll I have taken on a T.V. he said I could.

      I have tried to watch the videos and see the pictures from my iPhone's camera roll on a televison but it is not working. It is like nothing is connected to the T.V. set. I have tried with cables that attach to the bottom of the iPone. I have used an HDMI cable and a component cables on two seperate Televisions. How is it supposed to work.
    I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDMI #4 jack into the T.V. and turned on the iPHone and watched the camera roll on the iPhone bu tnothing appears on the T.V. screen. What would have to be adjusted to view the pictures from the camera roll on the T.V. screen. The same thing happend when I used "Composite to iPhone" cables to a different T.V.  I even tried with and iPhone 3GS, still no display on the T.V. screen.

    Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
    original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
    is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
    to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
    in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
    international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
    after replacement.
    Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
    replacement has always worked.

  • How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an album in ipad?

    How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

    If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
    You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

  • How do I delete pictures not in camera roll

    How do I delete pictures previously synced to icloud, but no longer in my camera roll?
    (I want to get a new phone and transfer only the pictures currently on my iphone 4S camera roll)
    I'd like to avoid having to delete all pictures I've taken when information is transferred to my new phone.
    I currently have the icloud settings turned off, however I have had icloud on in the past which has
    many pictures I no longer want.
    How do I login to icloud on my pc?

    Hi bckop,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can import the pictures and video currently on your iPhone (camera roll) to your computer.  Then you can manually sync with iTunes to copy only the images you want to your iPhone.   If you don't want the images in your Photo Stream to appear on your iPhone and PC, you can turn Photostream off in your iCloud settings.  You can also delete images from your Photo Stream that you no longer want.

  • Deleting photos from the camera rol but not from photostream

    When deleting photos from the camera rol, sometimes the delete action triggers the deletion of the photo in the photostream as well, sometimes not.  What triggers this and how to prevent the photo to be deleted from the photostream as well ?

  • How do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

  • Moving pictures from the camera roll.

    I have various pictures on the camera roll that I want to move into albums. Some of the pics were taken using the iPad and others downloads from e.mail. I can't seem to find a way. Nik

    Nik,
    You can create albums as long as you are running the latest iOS software 5.0 or above. Please note that by placing photos into albums you are not moving them but simply sorting them. They still remain in the camera-roll. Think of the camera-roll as your entire library of all your photos put together. Likewise if you delete a photo fgrom within an album it will not be deleted from the camera-roll only from the album. To delete a photo off your device you must delete it from inside the camera-roll.
    To create albums open the Photos app and switch to album view. Tap the camera roll album select the photos you want and click the action button you'll be given the option to place the selected photos into a new or existing album. You can also create a blank album first and add photos to it later.

  • How do I delete photos from my Camera roll in iOS 7

    I have over 1,000 photos in my iPhone Camera Roll.  I would like to delete all the photos in the Camera Roll.  How do I do this efficiently in iOS 7?

    Hi mikeschumann,
    Of course you can delete photos from your Camera Roll:
    Go into your photos app and select the Camera Roll album
    Click on Select at the top right of the screen
    Select the photos you want to delete
    Click on the Trash can at the bottom of the screen
    Just remember, if you have not imported those photos into a photo app on a computer, they will be permanently deleted. You may have them on an iCloud backup, but each backup you do has only the image of the current state of your device. So, if the 1000 photos have been backed up in the last iCloud backup you do, then you delete them, and do another iCloud backup, that backup will not have those photos. Then, say, you take another 100 new photos, and back up to iCloud. That backup will have the most recent 100 photos, but not the 1000 previously backed up.
    So, your best bet is to import them to your photo app on your computer, and then select delete photos from device when asked.
    Cheers,
