HT1414 How do I selectively restore photos from a backup to an iphone?

I need to recover some space on an iphone to upgrade to ios7. Photos now occupy that space. I want to do an itunes backup (sync) to my PC, download ios7, then selectively restore some of the photos to the phone, leaving the rest in the backup file until I can archive them in another file. I don't want to destroy the photos left behind, just not reload them on an iphone. Any ideas?

You can't do that. The restore from backup process is all or nothing. There is no supported way to selectively restore data. Why don't you just import the photos from your camera roll, then sync what you want on the phone back to the phone?
You should be importing camera roll photos anyway.

How do you select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder

how do i select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder in iphoto

Hello Tiggertiffany,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you need to select multiple items on iCloud.com then you can use the common procedure to select multiple items by either holding Command or Shift on your keyboard.
To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Command (⌘) key, then click the items.
To select multiple files or folders that are listed together, click the first item you want to select, hold down the Shift key, then click the last item.

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

HT201317 How do I transfer a photo from my pc to my iphone?

How do I transfer a photo from my pc to my iphone? My other iphone could do that but this new one is not letting me transfer from the pc to the phone.

Make sure you signed in the same iCloud account on your phone (Settings>iCloud) and on your PC (on the iCloud control panel for Windows) and that you have turned on photo stream on both devices. Also make sure you are putting the photo you want to add to photo stream in the photo stream uploads folder on your PC.

How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

Create an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it. Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button. Next select Email and go from there.

I don't want to restore photos from icloud onto my new iphone

Hi there,
I had an iPhone 4 and just got a new 5c. I backed up my 4 to icloud as i dont't own a laptop. I bought 20GB of storage and everything seemed to work. When I set up new iPhone i selected 'Restore from iCloud Back up' as I need old contacts on this new phone HOWEVER, I do not want all photos on new phone as I donot have enough space and they will fill up my memory. They are already in my iCloud so I shouldn't need them on new phone. I didn't see any option to just restore data rather than media and so photo stream is downloading constantly but wont finish as there is not enough space on phone. How can I just restore contacts to new phone and not pictures? My other option could be to set up as new iphone, but if I do this can I then download the contacts from my icloud seperately?
Going slowly insane.

You can't restore only part of the backup. Only camera roll photos are stored in the backup and they will have to be restored as part of restoring the entire backup. Photo stream photos are not stored in the backup; photo stream photos from the last 30 days will stream to your new phone when it signs into your iCloud account. You can stop this by turning off my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos.
The other thing you should be aware of is that you can't have photos in iCloud that are not also on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will be deleted from iCloud.

HOW DO I TRANSFER MY PHOTOS FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY IPHONE

i downloaded my pics from my android phone to my computer now i need to know how to put them on my iphone4s

Yes, you do it through iTunes by syncing with iTunes. You need to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main photos folder and then select that folder in the Sync Photos From heading in the Photos tab of iTunes, when your phone is connected to your computer, with iTunes running and with the phone selected.
There is more information in here that should be helpful.

Restoring photos from iTunes backup

I have an iPhone 5c and I just accidentally deleted 400 photos after iPhoto failed to correctly import them and I chose to delete them off the phone.
After this happened, I disconnected the phone. I did some research and saw people saying that I could get them back by restoring from a backup in iTunes. Seemed like it should work, since I had just backed it up 10 minutes earlier, before the failed import into iPhoto. However, when I plugged my phone back in, it automatically started backing up again and syncing, and before I could cancel the process, it replaced my earlier backup (before the photos were deleted) with a new backup (after the photos were deleted). When I choose "restore from backup," the only recent backup it will allow me to choose is the later one, after the photos are deleted.
Is there any way to access the previous backup and recover my photos?
Before you ask, I do not back up my phone to iCloud, so that is not an option.

If the device had been used as designed, pictures taken with the device would be regularly copied off the device to a computer for safekeeping. As such, there would be no need to recover them from a backup.

Restore photos from older backup?

I recently found some older iphone 3gs backup folders on my computer that had been saved underneath another user. I had never restored from these backups because i did not know they existed. Is there a way i can get this backup onto my iphone 4s without erasing my current data? Im mainly interested in having the old photos back in my camera roll, preferably in the right order. (So that they appear before my recently taken photos)

no way to erase you current data from the old folders by using sync up
but you can copy the photos to your new folders , restore this folder using itunes
ps:the new folder must have all the photos you like so much , which means you just collect your photos into the new folder, and sync up with your iPhone

Restore photos from 7 months ago on iphone 4s

I have extremely important photos I need from 7 months ago. I have been constantly syncing my Iphone with Itunes since I deleted them and I understand that the photos could be lost forever. However if there is even a slim chance I can get them back that would be a huge help.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5125?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
When you take photos with your iOS device or when you import photos from your digital camera to your computer, iCloud automatically uploads new photos from your Photo Stream to iCloud and pushes photos to all of your other devices.
Similarly, when you delete a photo from your Photo Stream on an iOS device or a Mac, or on a PC using iCloud Control Panel, that photo will be deleted from the Photo Stream view on all your devices and computers. Each device must be using the required software (see below), and have Photo Stream enabled. Deletions occur automatically as you connect each device to either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Copies of Photo Stream photos you have saved to your Camera Roll on an iOS device or imported into events in your iPhoto or Aperture library, and photos you have copied into a folder on your PC that's not part of My Photo Stream, will not be deleted when you delete photos from Photo Stream.

How do I select a photo from the timeline to apply an effect.

I am tryiing to select an individual photo on the timeline to apply an effect like a zoom or pan.

Jules789
I suspect your answer is for you to right click the video (your slideshow in video .psess format) now on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace Timeline and then select and click on "Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow" command. The command will achieve that and you should be able to move forward with your editing plans.
The above applies if these are the details of your workflow which I believe to be the case....
1. In the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor you put together some photos and used the Slide Show Editor's Cross Dissolve transition in the Slideshow Editor slideshow.
2. You outputted the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 11 Slide Show Editor using the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
3. When you do that you will find in Project Assets, a folder with the projects assets as well as one copy of the slideshow as a video in .psess format. There will also be a copy of the .psess video on the Timeline.
4. When you use that route, the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command is available to you in order for you to make additional significant edits to the slideshow before a burn to.
If you use any of the Slide Show Editor options to create the wmv version of the slideshow (Burn to Disc or Save As A File Movie wmv), the file on the Timeline will be a whole video in wmv format. That cannot be broken apart with the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command.
Please review my assumptions and speculations and let us know if the answer that I provided was appropriate under the circumstances.
If not, lots more details please.
Thanks.
