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.

  • How to delete iPhone camera roll's photos in new version Photos for Mac

    Hi,
    Before upgrade to new version Photos for Mac. I was using iPhoto + Photo Stream to manage all the photos took from my iPhone.
    Photo Stream will upload all new photos to iPhoto; when I connect iPhone to my mac, I can use iPhoto to delete my iPhone's camera roll's photos to clear the storage space.
    After I upgraded to Photos; the Photo Stream still running well, all new photos also upload to Photos' library, however, when I connect iPhone to my mac.
    Photos doesn't offer me any method to delete my iPhone camera roll's photos.
    What I can find is "Import Selected" or "Import All" and "Delete items after import" these functions are doesn't help.
    Because, all the photos are already imported by Photo Stream, when I click "Import All", all the imported photos will "RE-IMPORT" again and the photos will duplicate in my library.
    This is also a BUGS in Photos because in old version iPhoto when I import a photo which has already imported before, the software will pop-up a Dialogue Box to ask me options to choose between "Skip" or "Overwrite" or "Duplicate".
    Do anyone know how to delete the iPhone camera roll's photos by using new version Photos?
    Thank you very much.

  • How can I get the many photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad (no OS 7 on either) - thanks!

    How can I get all of the photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad3?  Both are running OS 5x and 6x.  Thank you -

    Hey David152,
    Thanks for the question. First, you’ll want to import the photos to your personal computer:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    After doing so, you can then sync the photos over to your iPad:
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Also, you can enable Photo Stream so that new photos taken with your iPhone will automatically appear on your iPad. For more information regarding Photo Stream, see this resource:

    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • HT4528 how do i access my camera roll that was backed up using iCloud?

    I recently switched from the iphone4 to the iphone5 and my storage capacity was almost full due to pictures and videos. I backed up everything using icloud and reset the iphone5 to have more free storage. Now I cannot figure out how to find my camera roll content in the icloud. Does anyone know how to access this? ~Thanks

    You will have to restore the backup you made from iCloud. It's all or nothing. You can not restore 'only' the photos/videos.

  • How do I sync iPhone Camera Roll over iTunes or WiFi Only (Not through 3G)

    I have a problem withere due to low 3G allowances I need to sync the iPhone Camera Roll either direct to iTunes (USB ot WifI) or a way ti force iCloud sync to only go through WiFi (disable iCloud sync via 3G). Does anyone know how to do this?

    If you are running Windows on a PC, define the Autoplay function to import your photos whenever you plug in your device.  Personally, I would disable the "Autosync" within iTunes so that you have a chance for the photo import to complete before you manually click on the iTunes "sync"

  • There are photos on my iPhone camera roll that aren't mine. Has my security been compromised? How is this possible?

    Hi guys,
    In the last week two photographs have appeared on my iPhone camera roll and the subsequently my photo stream, of which I have not taken or anyone else could not have possibly taken with my phone. The latest one, found this evening as my most recent photo, is of a man on an aeroplane.
    I'm a bit spooked here for a couple of reasons:
    1. Have I been hacked and the photos are the least of my worries?
    2. Can this person/persons see my photographs?
    I've used iPhoto on my mac to check the location of the photographs taken using the info facility; unfortunately the location is deemed 'unknown'.
    I would love anyone's take on this and would appreciate someone from apple responding to this issue directly as it's clearly a potentially huge problem for iOS and mac users.
    I've already taken the measure of changing my iCloud password but all the same would like some feedback here.
    Thanks all,

    I write on this topic because I have an almost same incident.
    Back in 2009, and this is important because there was no icloud and photo streams at that time, I found on the camera roll of my iphone 3G photos that do not belong to me!
    I try to clarify this, and everybody reacted as I was crazy or had no idea about computers, phones etc. I wrote in a technology forum and got similar reactions. In fact I am a more than average experienced pc and phone user. I could also guarantee that nobody touched my phone.
    The only explanation I had is that the photos were transferred through a wireless network in a cafe on my phone through some strange leak. But they were indeed not mine.
    There are more than 10 photos of a woman (pretty normal photos, bad quality selfies etc, no naked guys) of a guy making some measurements in an apartment, of an IKEA furtinure (probably for the apartment before) etc. etc. Pretty realistic photos, by no means downloaded from the internet.
    And nothing to do with me!
    I imported some of them in iPhoto and checked the location. Some of them were taken in Munich (where I live), one (of the new apartment) very close to the cafe I was connected and, interestingly, some (the selfies of the woman) in Palo Alto, CA.
    I still do not know what that could be, I still have the photos but unfortunately not the phone anymore.
    I would be more than happy to hear that there was this or the other leak at that time, but still haven't found any convincing answer on the internet.

  • ICloud Storage is almost full -- how do I clear my iPhone Camera Roll back-up without losing my photos?

    Hi.  My iCloud storage is almost full and my iPhone Camera Roll seems to be the main culprit.  So...
    1.  I think that they way to free up my iCloud storage is to go into iCloud management and delete the back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll.  Right?
    2.  If yes, does deleting my iPhone Camera Roll from iCloud back-up delete the photos from my phone entirely?
    3.  Also, if I have already saved my iPhone photos to my iPhoto Library on my computer (via hard line sync), should I be worried about deleting the iCloud back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll?  (In other words, will deleting the back-up on my phone somehow tell my iPhoto to delete the copies of the photo as well?)
    Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks!!

    Here's a tip: Part of what I do is photography, so I normally treat my iPhone as another camera. So, what I do is after I have finished taking some shots/videos with it, I download them to my computer (in my case, via Aperture). For everyone else, on the Mac there is the free Image Capture app, or the iPhoto app (which, if you have the latest version of Lion, it isn't built in there, so you would have to download it from the App Store for a fee).
    I have made it a habit to use this method whenever I finish taking pictures at the end of a day (but that's just me). Also, keep in mind that the videos that you take on your iPhone can take up a lot of space very quickly (for instance, one minute of 720p HD video recorded on the iPhone takes up over 300 MB of space!), so you would need to keep that in mind when shooting videos. SO, to answer your questions above:
    1) Right.
    2) No, because it is only a backup, not the Camera Roll itself.
    3) You should not be worried about deleting the iCloud backup of the iPhone Camera Roll. What would happen (in terms of the method) is that you first would download them to iPhoto first, then delete the images from your Camera Roll. This then would free up your iCloud storage space. Lastly, placing them in your iPhoto app will not tell your backup on your phone to delete them. When you delete the images from your camera roll, your "backup" will be smaller in size than it was beforehand.... Hopefully that made sense.

  • How do i sync photos from my iPhoto to my iPhone camera roll?

    I want to sync my 'last 12 months' album only iPhoto into my iPhone camera roll. But whenever i try it makes it a separate album.

    You don't.
    Camera roll is temporary storage for pics taken with the iPhone.  You should be importing these to your computer regularly.
    When you sync photos from your computer, they go into the Photo Library under the folder name that you chose to sync.

  • 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 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.
