How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll. That is where they live. When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone.
Photos in albums are not in two places. They are in only one place, the camera roll. The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
You should be importing these pics to your computer. I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

After sorting my pictures into albums, I deleted them from the camera roll, now they're all gone. Including the ones filed in the albums. Would it be possible to get them back ?

A photo in the Camera Roll cannot be in an album unless the photo remains in the Camera Roll. Photos in an album or not duplicated. A photo in an album includes a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage. Photos/videos can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
The Camera Roll is included with your iPhone's backup. If your iPhone's backup has been updated to include all photos that were in the Camera Roll and has not been updated since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so and decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore.

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

On the old laptop, under Help, choose deactivate.
Install on the new machine, and enter the serial number to activate.

How to select which folder my photo's sync to on my PC from the camera roll

When I sync my Iphone the pictures on my CAMERA ROLL sync to a folder in MY PICTURES on my PC. How do I change which folder on my PC that the pictures save to.

This would be done from your computer, as it would with any digital camera.

ICloud - I want to have songs on my Mac and remove them from the cloud. How do I do this?

My iTunes match account has the maximum (25,000?) songs in it. It was created before I had the 25.168 songs that I now have in my iTunes local library.
I'd like to add songs to some playlists, but I cannot because "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library."
How can I add these songs to my iCloud music library? Do I have to remove songs from iCloud before I upload new ones? If so, how do I do that without deleting the songs from my local machine?
I have plenty of songs that I don't need to exist on iCloud, but I still want them on my local machine.
Thanks

Okay then...
...no help. Thanks anyway.

How do you restore videos that you took, but accidentally erased from the camera roll?

I do not remember what Windows utility I used to transfer a few hundred pictures and several videos onto my Windows XP Pro desktop computer. Don't know if it was even iTunes. I remember giving the OK to delete all files on my iPhone after the transfer was complete. I see the images on my computer, but not all the videos transfered over. Meanwhile they are gone from my iPhone.
Is there perhaps a data recovery app out there that can magically ressurect the video on my iPhone in the Camera Roll?

They're on your computer somewhere. They wouldn't just delete on your phone if they weren't transferred.
Do a search by time added to find them.

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.

I label photos in an album and then Photostream eliminated the label

I label pictures in iPhoto but they are stripped off when the pictures are sent to Photostream. Is there anything I can do to retain my hard work?

You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll. That is where they live. When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone.

Will deleting pictures from my photo stream on my phone remove them from my iCloud albums?

I am almost out of storage on my phone so I uploaded all of my photos to icloud and deleted them from my camera roll. They are all still in my photo stream though; is that taking up room on my phone? And if I delete them from my photo stream, does that remove them from my iCloud albums as well?

Hi kellyntherese,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Did you backup your iPhone to iCloud and or iTunes before deleting the pictures from your camera roll? Photo Stream is not a storage location. Do you have a Mac or a PC?

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.

My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing
You might already have a copy of the photos in My Photo Stream:
In OS X, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto or Aperture library, unless My Photo Stream and Automatic Import are turned off in iPhoto or Aperture preferences.
In iPhoto, check your settings by going to iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud.
In Aperture, check your settings by going to Apterture > Preferences > iCloud.
In Windows, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported when My Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel.

In the future, you can import the pictures from your iPhone's camera roll directly to your computer, before deleting them from the device.

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 you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

HT1386 I am unable to synch photo albums from ipad 3 to itunes on my windows pc. In addition to camera roll and ipod cache albums, i have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!

Dear Community members,
I am unable to synch photo albums from iPad 3 to iTunes on my Windows 7 pc.
In addition to Camera roll and iPod cache default albums, I have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. Eg - Family pix in a folder, Office pix in another, Plant pixs in another, House architecture pix in another.......all also exist in the camera roll.
I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!
I have ios5 on Ipad 3 and the latest Itunes on Windows PC.
As a precaution, I have used the windows "add pictures from...." to keep a copy in a separate folder in the windows desktop, but again it has all the pics mixed up together and not sorted as per the various albums in the ipad!
How to replicate the albums in the windows PC???
Regards
Sohal NS

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

How can I move Whatsapp or google photos from the camera roll to a different folder
The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.

After putting my photos on icloud and deleting them off my camera roll to save storage, they were all gone off of icloud the next morning. This was before we could recover them with ios8. HELP.

I went to the One Direction concert August 19, 2014. I took several videos and pictures on my phone and wanted to save storage since my phone is only 16 GB, so right after the concert I put the images and videos on iCloud and deleted them off my camera roll. The next morning I woke up to look at them on my iCloud and every single video and picture was gone. GONE. This was before iOS8 let you recover deleted photos. As a desperate fangirl, please help me out. I've spent months in stress and utter sadness due to this. I want to know how to get my precious pictures and videos back.

I did it on my phone; I shared them to iCloud on my iPhone and then deleted them off of my camera roll, because I knew they would be stored on my iCloud. But, as you see, the next morning they were gone. :(((((((((((
