How do I keep photos in an album, but not on the camera roll

I want to remove the photos on my camera roll, but keep them in the albums. Usually people will go through my camera roll, but wont check the albums.... How can I do this, I still want them on my phone.

You can copy the photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then when you sync, in iTunes go to the Photos tab at the top and select the folder where you have them on your computer and they will sync back to your phone.

Hello,
I have photos on my i-phone in albums (not on the camera role, and I don't seem to be able to transfer them to the camera roll) that I want to back up to my computer, but neither my computer or i-tunes can see these albums.
Any idea's as to how I can save these 500 odd photo's?
Thanks for any help that you are able to offer.
Chris

There are only two ways pictures get on an iPhone.
1) Pictures taken on the device that show up in the Camera Roll.
2) Pictures synced from the computer via iTunes to the device that show up in other folders.
There is no need to back these pictures up from the iPhone to the comptuer as they already exist on the computer.

How to show artists in a compilation album but not split the album?

Sorry, I wasn't sure which section to submit this question to.
I have recently downloaded my iTunes music to my iPhone 4s. However, 'compilation' albums ( in my case albums by artists who have a lot of guests on their songs) did not show up under artists. So I unticked the compilation box in the album info. But now when I go to albums, each song with a different guest is in its own album.
My iPod nano shows the different artisits for compilation albums and the album as a whole. How can I make my iPhone do the same?
Thank you for any ideas!

Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
So this is a 2 part question:
1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
Thanks, Janis

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account. Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos. Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads. I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using. It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken?

You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s. when it was synced, the photos went to two folders and not to the camera roll

How can I delter photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s? When I synced the new phone from the Itunes, the photos went to two folders and not the camera roll.

thanks, should I delete all the phones on Itunes and re sync the old phone, then resync the new phone to get the pictures? Will they go to camera roll instead of a folder?

Deleting photos that are not in the Camera Roll.

I just got a new ipod touch and I put photos from my PC onto my ipod and now I want to delete these photos but they are not in my camera roll and there is no delete button available. Please help me delete them!

You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them in itunes and sync.

How to create an Album but not have the photos in the main library

We have some personal pictures of our kids birth and want to create a private folder and place the photos in that folder and then delete them from the main library. So when we show friends etc our photo collection they don't see these private photos.
However when we move photos into our private album they re-appear in the main library!!... how do we get around this?
Thanks for any help!
Power Mac Dual G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Steve, it sure is possible.
First gather up all the photos and put them in an album, then Share>export the album to newly created folder on the desktop.
close iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you see a message window.
Choose to create a new library and name the library.
Now import the album on the desktop.
to switch between libraries use the Option key at at launch.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.

How to get photos off an iPad 2 that are not from the camera roll?

I have photos from previous iPhones and digital cameras on my iPad 2. I do not have the original laptop I used to put them on the iPad. How can I transfer them from this iPad to a different laptop? I do not want to lose them.

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them to a computer via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

IPhoto 11 - keeping pictures in an album but not the main library

Hi there,
My main iPhoto library contains all my images which I am happy with, I have created another folder so I can put all my videos in there to separate them from the main library.
However whenever I delete the video from the main library it also disappears from the album which I have placed it in if that makes sense?
My aim is having an album just for the videos and using the 'library' for all my photos.
Is there any way to stop this happening? Or will I have to create two albums i.e. one for images and the other for videos and the library will have everything?

iPhoto works on a Library principle.
Every time - photo or video - is in the Library.
Albums are a subset of the Library.
This is similar to iTunes, where every song is in the Library and every Playlist is a subset of the Library.
So, you cannot have something in an album that is not in the Library.
Want to make a fast Album of all your movies?
File -> New -> Smart Album
Keyword -> is -> Movie

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

I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How to upload a photo on a Facebook page, NOT in the profile?

Hi, I have the problem to publish an album on a Facebook page, but I'm only capable to publish the album (or the photo) in the profile. Any suggestion?
Thanks

The Facebook publish plugin is very basic - anything else you need to do has to be done the conventional way via their website (and quite frankly it's better to use the website anyway, so you can fix the descriptions and tags).

How do i keep music on my ipod but not take up space on my computer? HELP!

can anyone help me?!

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
Backing up your media in iTunes.
Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.
