How do you copy a photo currently being used as wallpaper?

I took a photo with my iPhone and set it as the lock screen wallpaper.  Almost immediately afterwards, I accidentally deleted the photo from the camera roll, however, it remained as the lock screen wallpaper.  So, it's not in my backups or photo stream or icloud, or anything like that.  Is there any way to copy that photo from it's current place as lock screen wallpaper back to the camera roll?

Hello Cliffordmt,
The only other option I can see, as you have covered all the other bases already would be to take a screen shot of the lock screen.
From the iPad User Guide found here http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf toward the top of page 54:
Take a screenshot: Press and release the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button  at the same time. The screenshot is added to your Camera Roll album.
All the best,
Sterling

  • How do you copy a picture in photos?

    How do you copy a picture in photos? When I right click on them it doesn't give you the option to copy and when I click edit, copy, it does nothing.

    I've copied pictures from iPhoto before and its worked perfectly fine. Just can't seem to find a way to do so on Photos.
    I my Photos version it works to select a photo and then use the "Edit" menu.
    Edit > Copy ⌘C  or pressing the key combination ⌘C
    There is no visible confirmation, but the photo will be in the Clipboard.
    I cannot test this with Word.  But I can insert the copied photo from the clipboard into Pages or Keynote documents by using ⌘V

    If your IpadMini hasn't got a USB port then the only way I can think of is to email the photo to yourself and then retrieve it by logging to your email account using IpadMini.
    This method is fine if you have few photos only.  To transfer 1000s of photos require completely different device that can handle volume on an industrial scale.
    Good luck.

  • How do you copy your iphoto library to ext. hard drive?

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up? I'm confused, because of three things: a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library; b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years, AND c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is, what it does, etc.
    So, I apologize, but if someone can help me figure what I would like to think should be a very simple backup, I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

    I am sorry to ask this lame question, but: How do you copy your iPhoto library to an external hard drive, just to back it up?
    Drag it to the external drive
    a) I can't seem to find, in iPhoto pref's, where you select what the "path" is to the library;
    There not one - you change the path by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option to repoint to a different libary - however you would not do this to a backup library - it would just be a copy
    b) in the iPhoto library folder on my computer (which is NOT on my boot drive, but a different internal drive..) the newest "year" folder in there says 2005, yet we have imported many newly-taken photos for the last 3 years,
    This is probably an unused older library - a backup for a previous version
    c) in the user>Pictures folder there is a "file" called iPhoto Library, but I can't quite figure out exactly what that is,
    That probably is your iPhoto library and it is probably not a file but a Unix style "package"
    Launch iPhoto and in events view select a photo and right click (control click) on it and select the show file option to see the path to the currently active library - I find the column view the easiest to see the path

    Airplay speaker unavailable.  The speaker "apple tv" is currently being used by someone else.  What does this mean amd how do I fix the issue so I can play my video through apple tv?

    The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
    This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

  • TS4253 How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on iPad?

    How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on the iPad? I have found no solution in the user manual or anywhere else. I simply want to rotate the picture from being sideways to being upright. Doesn't seem like this should be such a mystery. Or am I missing something obvious? Thx

    Thanks folks, I see there are photo editor apps for the iPad. I am downloading one now, and it should work. Good to know I wasn't missing something in the iPad itself. It does not have the capability to rotate or edit pictures without outside help. Thx

    How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • How do I copy a photo in iphoto

    how do I copy a photo in iphoto.  When i highlight the photo and then press the control and mouse button the copy option is greyed out.

    The UX on iPhoto is simply attrocious. If I import an image - why can I simply not copy it to the clipboard? If I right click on an image the copy item is disabled. Why? This makes no sense and simply frustrates the **** out of me as a user.
    The only way I have found to copy the image to the clipboard is to Share the image by emailing it to myself and then downloading the image to my hard drive. Which relies on an internet connection of course. Do you really force the user to do this?
    Can this issue please be rectified as it is really truly pants.

  • How do I copy a photo from my PC to my iPad?

    Help! How do I copy a photo or folder from my PC to my iPad?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • IPhoto..how do I copy a photo and drop it into another album?

    IPhoto..How do I copy a photo in one album and paste it into another?

    I have IPHOTO 9.5.1  I used to be able to drag and drop but it won't do that anymore.
    then something is wrong - drag and drop between albums should work. Itb is working for me without a problem. While viewing an album, select the photos inside that you want to include anither album and drag them to that album in the sidebar of the Source List like this:
    Is that, how you have tried it?
    If this does not work, repair your iPhoto library.

  • How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books?

    How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books?  In try to make a book in iPhoto I find it impossible to choose a photo for the cover. I try to make a photo a key photo, i put it at the front of the selections, i give it the most stars but somehow another photo is selected and I can't change the selection.  Help.  Thank you. iPhoto 9.5.1

    You are welcome
    I hope your book will be great. Once you finish the book, make a preview and check it carefully, before uploading the book to Apple.
    Keep the preview for your records, until you receive the printed copy.
