How do I sync camera roll folders to iPhoto?

Hey everyone. I'm at a loss... can't seem to find an answer to my question.
I've taken hundreds of photos on my new 4S and organzied them into folders on my phone. When I try to import them to iPhoto, it seems like the only way to get them on to my computer is to import them all in one big lump. Is there any way to keep the folders that I've created and import them with me when I transfer them to iPhoto?
Thanks.

Maybe you've solved your issue, I'll not be of much help. I just discovered that deleting a photo from the camera roll will also delete it from the created album. How stupid is that? Isn't that sort of what the "photo library" is for? Typical Apple: one boneheaded feature away from being absolutely incredible"! At any rate, I'm guessing this has something to do with your quandary. I now have to go though and make sure I don't lose any photos next time I tackle the camera roll/sync (I'm on PC, once a month or so I typically dump my camera roll into a folder, then put those photos in the corresponding folders I've created on the PC. This is going to complicate that process in sure). Good luck (my wife uses Mac and iPhoto is a mess. I won't go near that stupid program)

TS3697 phone not syncing camera roll where all my pictures r. syncing photo library where crap is. how do i sync camera roll.

getting iphone 5 today. have 3G. just realized that my photos in camera roll r not being synced. The pictures or signs in the photo library album that somehow downloaded on my phone r being synced but the 500 pictures and videos I have in camera roll are not. Those r the ones I do not want to lose. Under devices it only allows u to access stuff on your computer not on your phone. How do I gain access to camera roll to get it to sync to my laptop. I want to be able to get those pictures on my new phone and I am giving my old phone to my mother so I can get a cheaper rate from at & t but I well be unable to reset my phone if I cant get the pictures off. can anyone give me any suggestions please?

I am having the same problem. But in Image Capture my iPhone (iPhone 4 ios 5) will no longer show up as a device. It does not show up as a device in finder either. It does show up in iTunes, though. In anticipation of icloud and in an attempt to avoid having duplicate photos in my iPhoto (because I already had this problem syncing with iPhoto through USB), I deleted all my iPhone photos (and videos) off of my Macbook while keeping them on my iPhone; only to find out that iCloud will only sync new photos that I take after setting up iCloud. So now I have no way of getting the photos and videos that I had captured prior to ios 5 and iCloud back on my Macbook.

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

Syncing notes with iCloud requires it have the correct email address linked, as notes get synced with an email address.
Now, assuming that you have successfully set that up, though most people don't first time around, then if you deleted the note from the phone, it will have deleted from iCloud as well.
Meaning, unless you have that note located in a backup in iTunes or iCloud you won't be able to get it back.
You can restore the iTunes backup simply by connecting to itunes and hitting restore backup. Only thing is, any info that changed since the backup was made will be lost. (i.e. if your backup is a month old, your phone will look like it did a month ago, and only have that info on it.)
Or, you can restore from iCloud, which requires erasing all content and settings, then selecting that backup. SO, you can see the predicament.

How to access iPhone "Camera Roll" by API?

I would like to know how to access to "Camera Roll" by iPhone API.
Because, I know several iPhone application which has own image list and the list is synced to "Camera Roll".
If I take photo by iPhone native camera, the taken photo is listed up on the image list so I guess those applications can access to "Camera Roll" directly.

Please find the discussion at below link:

How do I sync multiple picture folders to my iPod ?

How do I sync multiple picture folders to my iPod touch ? I don't want to create another folder and then copy the desired folders to be synced, into this main folder. All of my pictures are about the size of 5-10 MB. Copying them would mean loss of additional space.

You can only point iTunes at one folder for syncing to the iPod. You can however selectively choose which subfolders of the main folder are included. I use a Photos folder inside iTunes\iTunes Media and move the folders that I want on my device into that, but the parent folder could be anywhere that suits you.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have discovered that Camera Roll reappeared when I took a pic using my iPad camera.
Previously I had not done that. Stupid me.
Your attempt to help me is much appreciated.
Thanks.

How do I restore camera roll from a previous backup

My wife's iphone was full so I looked how to delete many, many camera roll pictures without having to do them individually. I found out how to do it (not intuitive at all by the way) but I did it wrong, deleted her camera roll and photostream. Lost about 300 pics. I backup the iphone to my computer so I'm thinking the camera roll has to be there in a previous backup. How do I restore camera roll from a backup, at least 5 backups ago?
It's not fun sleeping the garage. Help!
Thanks,
Art

Thanks for the response.
Her phone is always backed up to the computer so I believe there is a backup prior to removing the pics. I'm trying to find out how to go to an older backup to restore so I can find the camera roll pics.

Sync Camera roll photos using iTunes?

So I did my first sync after the initial set up. In iTunes, I chose to only sync photos from a couple of folders. Once the sync was complete, I was surprised that the photos from my camera roll was not copied to my mac. I went to the photo tab and wanted to choose to sync the camera roll photos, but there is no option for doing that.
The only work around I did, was to launch iphoto and import the photos from my iphone 3G. How do I set it up in itunes so that the photos from the camera roll will be sync'd automatically each time??

When the iPhone includes photos that were captured by the iPhone, it is also detected and treated as a digital camera when connected, so such photos are not included with the iTunes sync process.
If you use iPhoto for storing photos, you can use iPhoto for the import. If not, you can also use the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder to import these photos to the designated location on your hard drive.

You can't, but you can have iPhoto launch automatically when your iPhone is connected which will occur only when your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone. The import process by iPhoto or Image Capture is not automatic, but you can have either one launch automatically.

Can't sync camera roll to new phone

I have a 3G and just bought a 3GS. I have almost everything transferred over except the camera roll. It won't sync the camera roll and I can't drag-and-drop the pictures onto the new phone. How can I put the old camera roll photos on the new camera roll? Using Windows 7.

Photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup or should be and the only way to transfer these photos from the Camera Roll on one iPhone to the Canera Roll on another iPhone is by transferring the backup for one iPhone to another.
Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup or your iPhone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen. And importing and removing the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete will also reduce your iPhone's backup time, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
To have these photos and any other photos that are available on your computer to be available on your iPhone for viewing, transfer the photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. These photos will be available in your iPhone's Photo Library and can be organized into photo albums or folders on your computer which will be reflected on your iPhone.

Duplicated pictures when sync camera roll from iPhone to iTunes

Dear all,
2 issues:
1. When I sync my iPhone to iTunes and iPhoto opens (if there are pictures on the camera roll not yet imported), the non-imported pictures appear to be duplicated.
It is obviously quite annoying as I have to go through and delete the second image manually. Does anyone know how to sort this? I don't have HDR switched on. I have tried un-clicking sync iPhone over wifi, syncing and then clicking it back on again and syncing. Both these issues only started when I upgraded to my iPhone 6.
2. My iPhone refuses to sync over wifi. Occasionally the icon of the iPhone appears in iTunes, but that is very sporadic when it choses to and not. When it appears to be in iTunes I click sync and it says an error message of sync not possible and then the iPhone disappears from iTunes and I have to plug it in with cable.
I have spent in excess of 12 hours discussing this with various Senior technical support teams members at Apple who display enthusiasm about trying to help me until the point in which they go home for the day and then thy do not bother keeping to their ringback appointment so it all has to start again from scratch with a different person.
Suggestions made: Replace handset: Done. Try connecting your computer to router via cable: Hilarious, but done. Restore iPhone: Done. Technical data sent to apple: Done, but never got called back at agreed appointment to discuss results.
So I am throwing this issue out to the community.
From a very exasperated iPhone 6 user!

You should be importing these to your computer regulalry as you would from any digital camera.

Save (or Sync) Camera Roll from iPhone to my "My Pictures" on my computer.

I had some issues with the 2.0.1 update and had to restore my iPhone from a different computer. Then I hooked my iPhone backup to my main computer and was going to restore from my backup, however, iTunes immediatly performed a backup of my iPhone (Newly Restored) so I lost my settings.
I have taken a lot of photos on my iPhone and now lost all of them except for the ones I've emailed or sent to MobileMe. I must say that it is a bit of a pain if I have to send each picture to MobileMe one at a time.
Is there a way when I sync my iPhone that it will automatically write the photos on cameral roll to a folder I specify in "My Pictures" on my computer? If not, this should be something that is included in a next update.
Also, I would like the ability to send multiple photos in an email.
Thanks!

This is an issue I've had myself. It is rather irritating that I can sync up other photos from my computer TO my iPhone, but not anything in the Camera Roll folder. Ive read the argument that the phone is being treated as a digital camera in this case and that adding functionality to a program isn't all that easy, but I really don't buy either of these arguments in this case.
For one thing, iTunes already knows how to sync jpeg photos between my computer and my PC. I can put any folder containing jpeg images ONTO my iPhone through the sync mechanism in iTunes. The iPhone is saving the images as jpegs in the Camera Roll folder (I'm extrapolating this by virtue of the fact that when I email an image from Camera Roll, it attaches a jpeg image). By extension, it should just be a matter of making the Camera Roll folder accessible from the Photos sync. Camera data is usually stored in the tags of a file, which shouldn't be lost when transferring files back and forth. And if it is, just give me a little warning and let me choose.
So, as far as I'm concerned, iTunes already knows how to do this. Why is the functionality not included? I am able to use Windows Explorer to copy files like I would from any digital camera, but why should I have to do that when iTunes syncs everything else.

HT4236 sync camera roll video from iphone to ipad

I took a video using my iphone4 "Camera" application. When I open the "Photos" application on my phone I choose "Camera Roll" and my video is there and I can play it. How do I get this video over to my iPad2? I have tried plugging each device into my laptop which opens iTunes automatically then "syncing" but that didn't work. When I open the "photos" application in iPad2 the video is no longer a video; it is a bunch of pictures! What happened? How do I get videos taken with my iphone4 over to my iPad2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brenda

Videos don't work with photo stream, likely due to size.
What I do, hook your iPhone up to the computer you sync it to. then double click on my computer, and navigate your way to your iPhone and the DCIM folder. Your video will be in there somewhere. Drag it off your iPhone and onto your computer.
Then place that video into the folder where the rest of your videos are (I have vista and there's a 'video 'folder that my iTunes pulls videos from, yours may be set up differently)
You can then use iTunes to sync that video onto your iPad.
Another way is to set up and use some sort of online account, such as Dropbox, upload your video there then download it back to your iPad (depending on how big your video is, any sort of transfer will take some time, I have a 3 minute video that's almost 200 megs, so it takes a bit to move it around or upload it)

Does iCloud back up photos, and can I view iPhone pictures on my iPad without syncing camera rolls?

I know this question may have been asked but please bear with me:
I have a iPhone 4S ( 16 GB ) and a iPad Air ( 32 GB ). Most of my photos are taken on my iPhone and I can view these photos on my iPad via the Photo Stream (which I know will only display photos for 30 days). I wanted to delete some photos off my iPhone to make room, but how can I still view these photos on the iPad without syncing my iPhones's camera roll to the iPad. Shouldn't iCloud be keeping these photos (and I heard that photos, music and maybe documents don't take up iCloud space, just other non-iTunes stuff count towards iCloud storage space but I don't know if that's right).
I just wants to know how iCloud works because what is the point of downloading other iOS devices' camera rolls onto my iPad and then risk my iPad runningout. Of space. Wouldn't I just run into the same problem? I thought iCloud would backup photos so if they were to be deleted off one iOS device, it can still be accessed on another iOS device (something like a Photo Stream but I ninnies it only lasts 30 days).

Hey! I am moving from icloud backup to itunes backup and i have not checked photos, contacts(see 1st image below) to sync to itunes. And on my phone in settings under icloud photos, contacts, notes and other stuff are selected(see 2nd image below).

Could you please help me with this i am a little confused. Thanks!
