HT201077 why are there 600 photos on camera roll but only 300 in photo stream?

if photos upload automatically to the photo stream, why do I have twice as many photos on my photo stream. It seems also to have stopped uploading photos in early March. I also have 2 photo streams on my ipad (which is synced to my phone & computer); one with 400+ photos & one with 200+ photos. I ipad also has only 300 of the 600 original photos in the camera roll.
This is confusing.

If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on.  That may get photo stream to function properly again.

  • Why are there duplicate pictures on camera roll but none saving to photo stream?

    My wife and I share an itunes account and when iCloud came out all her pictures were showing up on my photo stream (she does a lot of screen caps of cute animal pics to send to her friends) so to stop that I set her up with her own iCloud account.  Now when she takes a picture, seconds after she takes it, a duplicate copy appears right beside it, but none ever go to her photo stream folder.  What gives? At first I thought maybe she had HDR on, but it's not.  Then I thought maybe I didn't have photostream on correctly but looking at it it all looks fine. It's running the latest version of iOS5.  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • I have a 5s phone.  How do I download ALL of the photos from my phone?  When I downloaded all of them, just the photos on Camera Roll were downloaded.  The photos in the folders were still there. Any help will be appreciated. Rosemary

  • How do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

  • Can delete photos from 'Camera roll' but not 'Photo Library'

    Please excuse my ignorance in advance! I needed to delete some photos as I couldn't download any apps or take any more photos until I freed some space (not sure why as according to itunes I have nearly 2GB free). I recently updated iphone software and now have 2 photo albums on my phone. I deleted most of the photos on my camera roll but noticed that the new album 'Photo library' which was created when I updated the software still has all the original photos in it. I went into to it to delete them but for some reason there is no delete icon for any of these photos. Please note these are all photos taken using the iphone itself. I have never synced photos from my computer to my iphone so I can't delete them by syncing with a folder on my PC. I back up the photos by copying them manually using windows.
    I would really appreciate any help as I don't want to run out of space of my iphone again especially if it is due to unnecessary duplication of seemingly undeletable photos!

    You cannot delete photo library pics from the iphone.
    You delete them the same way you got them there in the first place. The sync process.
    Deselect the photo album/folder under the photos tab in itunes, then sync.

  • How to remove photos from camera roll but remain in album?

    I want to delete photos that I have in camera roll but those same pics to remain in the album I create before. Any suggestions?

    You can't. When you 'copy' them into new albums you are effectively just creating pointers to the original photos, so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could copy the photos to your computer, organise them on there, and then sync them back.

  • Photos in camera roll do not download to photo stream

    photos in camera roll do not always download to photo stream on iphone?

    Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
    Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
    On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

  • If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

    I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.

  • On 8.1, how do I delete photos from camera roll but not from photo stream?

    I recently updated to iOS 8.1 on my 5S and was happy to get camera roll back, but unlike in the past, when I delete a picture from camera roll, it also deletes it from photo stream.  This makes no sense; I want to delete it from my phone while keeping it in photo stream - is there something I'm not doing?  Is it a problem with 8.1?  Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos.

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

    When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

    You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

  • Why are there pages about link installation problems but no reply support from blackberry

    and it appears impossible to contact blackberry as they only seem to refer you tyhis forum or via twitter to which i have no account or any idea how to use one if i did

    Hello,
    There is nothing new with what you describe. BlackBerry has NEVER provided direct-to-user support. Rather, all support follows the formal support channels -- which start with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers (it varies by region and by issue), each who can escalate cases into BlackBerry if needed.
    This site has NEVER been an channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. This site is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out with various situations. But it is not a replacement for formal support, for that is (contractually) available via only one channel, and it's not here.
    Good luck!

  • Hi trying to backup iphone camera roll but only the last taken pics will save, how do I get camera roll pics onto the photo stream?

    hi please help thank u

    When you set up photo stream on a device that takes pictures, then only newly taken pictures go to photo stream, not older ones.  To get them to photo stream, you must sync them to a computer and then on that computer (in iphone or Aperture if using a mac) copy the photos to the photo stream group.
