How do you recover missing Camera Roll photos?

Yesterday I noticed that many photos were missing from my Camera Roll. I tried to do a restore from my Computer, but that didn't seem to work. Now I have zero photos in my Camera Roll. Is there any way to get them back?

Tap Settings, and then tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your iOS device in the Backups area.
Under Backup Options, see if you turn the camera roll on. If not, then you doesn't have them backed up. And you can also see the file size of your documents here. Look around and find out whether your photos are saved in other part.

How do you mass delete camera roll photos?

I have an iPhone 4 and iPhoto '11. iPhoto crashed and didn't delete all the photos after importing. How do I delete them now?? Don't need them on my phone any more. And there are well over 100 to delete...
Yes, I know how to delete them individually....

I have 7.1 version. I found out what to do. Phone must be plugged into itunes. Go into photo section. Hit the SYNC BUTTON where it says sync photos. A list of photo folders with dates will appear. Put a check in the boxes of the photos you want deleted, THEN HIT THE SAME SYNC BUTTON and itunes will delete photos from phone. THIS SOLVED MY ISSUES. If anyone else has problems, leave a message and maybe I can explain it in more depth. It sounds confusing, but it really isn't. GOOD LUCK.

Recover deleted Camera Roll photos?

I'm traveling on vacation, and during a sync, I inadvertently deleted about 20 photos. Of course they are photos I really want. I tried doing a restore from a backup, but that didn't work (I don't know if Camera Roll photos are even included in the backup/restore process for the iPhone). I've tried a couple of recovery programs - Klix and Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery - for Mac, and for Windows running Parallels. In all cases, the programs don't even see the iPhone. Does anyone have any suggestions for how recovery may be possible? I know retrieval of deleted items on a computer is far from perfect, but I've used the iPhone very little since I screwed up, and there is 17 GB available memory on my 32 GB phone, so I'm hopeful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Only one normal iPhone backup is kept by iTunes. It's actually an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up. While camera roll photos are included in the iPhone backup, deleting such photos on your phone & then syncing effectively removes these photos from your iPhone backup. The first thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. Photos in your iPhone camera roll should always be imported to your computer & never stored in your camera roll.

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.

How do I transfer non-Camera Roll photos from iPhone3G to PC?

Years ago I copied thousands of sentimental family photos from a dying laptop to my then state of the art iPhone 3.
They were in multiple seperate folders, and NOT saved to the Camera Roll.
How can I transfer them back to my latest laptop as they obviously don't show in the iPhone explore when connected to a laptop etc.
I am desperate to retrieve these photos in full resolution as they are so sentimental.
The only option I know that works is by emailing 5 at a time .. but as there are nearly 6000 photos ... ugh! And obviously the basic iPhone3G doesn't have Cloud functionality.
There must be an easier way? Please help!
Many thanks in advance.

Look man sorry for late reply but I was stuck with some net probs
By the way if u have 2 idevices then u can download the bluetooth-U app on both and it will automatically detect idevices via bluetooth and u can import the all 6000 photos and other many files from your albums or camera roll and tranfer them for free from one idevice to other
its free no wifi and net required and will work like a horse
try not for photos then for some other files
it reads all extentions from pdf to .doc anfld many mire
it can even play and view all files documents photos and pdfs and even music or videos
by the way if u add your pics to this software via iTunes app tab then they will be available in full resolution just in case u want to do it !!!!!
Happy to know ur prob solved but I m sorry for late reply if my router had worked correc then I would have urgently solved ur prob
but do download man its amazing soft
and do reply
Cheers TGT

How do you delete more than one photo at a time on Iphone 3gs camera roll?

How do you delete more than one photo at a time on the Iphone 3gs camera roll?

You can't.

Do you miss camera rolls, too?

Understandably events took the place of camera rolls and perhaps how you view them boils down to a matter of semantics, but I really, really, really miss camera rolls in iPhoto. At the very least ...
Why am I unable to delete an event in iPhoto? Unless I am wrong—is there a way to delete an event without deleting the photos from the library that make up the said event?
The fact of the matter is that the one random photo that I took of a shoe with my iPhone yesterday hardly constitutes an event. I take a lot of random pictures with my iPhone. Some of which come out beautiful and I wish to preserve for future reference. Of course one could make an album, but that still does not dismiss the fact that events go awry.
The simple solution would be for Apple to grant users the ability to fully manage what constitutes an event. Personally, I would rather put in the work to hand-select the photos that make up the "birthday parties", "holiday", "apple store openings", but why make that selection for me? The automation was supposed to help with organization, not makes for more of an organizational nightmare.
Additionally, I understand I could ignore Events in my sidebar altogether, but again, that still does not dismiss the fact that it will never be organized—in turn, if I want true events, I will have to manually make albums.
Anyone else feel the same way, or am I just OCD?

Roll back in the forum to - oh, three years ago - for a fuller discussion on this. Camera Rolls last appeared in iPhoto 6. At the time there were those who complained about the functionality and those who complained about the word.
Events and Rolls are functionally the same apart from one difference:
A Roll was an arbitrary grouping of photos based on when they were imported.
An Event is an arbitrary grouping of photos based on when they were shot.
Why am I unable to delete an event in iPhoto? Unless I am wrong—is there a way to delete an event without deleting the photos from the library that make up the said event?
Just like Rolls. You couldn't delete Rolls without deleting their content either. Rolls and Events are a view of the Library. Just like Rolls, every photo is in an Event. If you want to delete an Event either a: Delete the pics within or b: move the pics within to another Event. Just like Rolls.
The fact of the matter is that the one random photo that I took of a shoe with my iPhone yesterday hardly constitutes an event.
Don't get hung up on a Word. It's only 5 letters of marketing to describe a group of photos taken at the same time. An Event is a folder with some pics. That's all. With a bit of practise, you can train yourself to think "bucket" or "folder" or "shoebox" instead of Event.
Folks used complain that pics they took in January were in the same Roll as pics they took in September, just because they hadn't imported in between.
The simple solution would be for Apple to grant users the ability to fully manage what constitutes an event.
But they do. You can move photos to other Events. Merge them. Create new ones. All the things you could do with... Rolls. In other words, all you have to do is merge any new Events created when you import to have... a Roll with a fancy icon.
Like Rolls, they're quite limited too. A photo can be in only one Event without duplicating the file and so on.
Events are for people who can't be bothered organising. It's simple, date-based and requires no thought. So, for such folks, Events are helpful.
For other folks there are all the other tools: Albums, Keywords, Smart Albums etc etc etc.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. For organising: I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively.

How can I find/sync my old iPhone camera roll photos?

I've searched about 5 different ways here on the forums and can't find an answer to this question. I recently upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4. I backed up the old phone and just sold it a couple of days ago. Here's my problem: I can't find the folder containing my (old) camera roll photos so I can sync them to my new iPhone. I'm aware that iTunes doesn't back up camera roll photos, however I understand they are saved as part of the standard backup process. Are they included in the "iPod Photo Cache" and, if so, can I use this to copy them onto my new phone? Note that I was unaware until today that I can save camera roll photos on my PC using Windows Camera and Scanner or Adobe Photoshop; I'll start doing that tonight so I'll have them in a separate folder from now on. I'm running Windows Vista on my PC, FYI.
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way for me to save what's currently on my phone?
No. If you restore your new phone from a previous backup, all data on your phone will be erased & replaced with the data from your backup. However, if you don't want to do that you can see if this will recover the photos in question from your 3GS backup:

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

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

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!
//Richard

Only 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.
