How do I import camera roll photos when setting up as a new iPhone
hi
I have a new iPhone 6, which has a software issue.
The Apple Genius bar suggested I set it up as a NEW iPhone, rather than restore the backup I initially did from my 5S.
What is the best way to restore the photos I have taken on the iPhone back to the camera roll? (I am using a PC on Win7)
The Genius bar suggested saving the photos to My Pictures by dragging them off as if it were a flash drive.
He then said I should add them back once my new phone is set up though iTunes & photos.
My concern is that when I did this a few years ago, all the metadata with the photo seems to get lost and pics came back in random orders.
is this still the case & will it work properly now, or does anyone have better suggestions for doing this (such as backing them up to iCloud, then restoring)?
Thanks
Just sync it

How to copy non-camera roll photos from iphone
Hi
I have several hundred photos on iphone that I've lost on my laptop after hard drive failure. Apple store helped to copy camera roll photos to CD but can't help with the others. I REALLY want to get copies of these, even if they're not quite top resolution.
Any suggestions about ways to copy photo folders off iphone? Battery problems mean I ned to do this quickly so iphone can be wiped for testing/software reinstallment.
Many thanks
SueSue,
When you plug your phone into your Windows computer Windows should prompt you what application do you want to use to import the photos from your "digital camera" that you just plugged into your computer. It will display a list of compatible applications. Pick one, when it opens it should show the photos on the phone/camera and allow you to import them. Hope this helps! -
How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?
Hi,
I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your input guys!
//RichardOnly if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.

I recently, mistakenly, migrated my iPad to iOS8. In less than a day I concluded iOS8 was not for me, I migrated back to IOS 7. I backed up the iPad in iOS8 using iTunes before migrating back and now find that my camera roll has gone. I realise that iOS8 put the photos somewhere else (witness the posts here and in other Mac forums complaining that their camera rolls are 'gone') but shouldn't they have been backed up in iTunes?
I was able to retrieve all the apps from the backup but there was no camera roll. Where in the iOS8 backup should they be now? I'm afraid that I haven't figured out a connection from posts describing where the camera roll pictures went in iOS8 to be able to work backwards and restore them.
Can anyone please describe how I might be able to retrieve the Camera Roll?You cannot.
You should be importing them regularly as you would with any digital camera.
Did you not import them before restoring? -

HT4859 How do I restore camera rolls photos without restoring entire phone?
Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm using an iPhone 4s.
I restored the phone to default settings because I lost the restriction code. Before I did that I backed up my phone using iTunes to the cloud. I've been able to restore the apps and music via iTunes so those are good.
Is there a way to restore the photos from the backups? My first attempt at restoring the phone I accidently restored from the aforementioned backup which put me back at having the phones restriction code in place.
Thanks,

How do I download 3G "Camera Roll" photos off my phone?
I was wondering how to download 3G "Camera Roll" photos off of my phone 3G and onto my computer??
Wah... don't be so sensitive.
I didn't have to use proprietary iTune software.
Something Apple failed miserably to allow in it's iPhone.
In your opinion but regardless, it is what it is. The requirements for the iPhone are not kept secret and if the requirements were not acceptable to you, you should not have purchased one.
When your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, which has nothing to do with iTunes.
So the question still remains...
What do you do on an iPhone with "Windoze" to get you Camera Roll pix from you phone onto your computer, other than emailing each and every one separately via email.
The answer remains the same.
If you choose not to use the camera and scanner wizard, your iPhone should be available in Explorer when connected as a connected drive where you can drag photos that were captured by your iPhone to the desired location on your hard drive. -
Camera Roll Photos does not sync to Ipad2 using icloud
Icloud camera roll photos will not download my camera roll to my ipad 2, only will download the phonestream photos. Can someone tell me how to get the camera roll photos to sync on ipad.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos taken after turning on Photo Stream will be added to Photo Stream and synced between devices. -
I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

In the photos app I have 2 camera rolls and 1 photo gallery. Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks. In the one I backed up I have 500 plus photos and the other over 1000. I need to back up the 1000 one- camera roll. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Help .... Please
