HT201302 Lost photos from camera roll when updating iphone

does anyone know where to find photos that were on the camera roll that are now lost. i updated my i phone and it has deleted about 1000 photos from my camera roll and i cant find them anywhere.

Photos in the Camera Roll are designed to be imported to the computer regularly to back them up. They should not be stored only on the phone, just like on a digital camera. Photos in the camera roll are in the iPhone backup file, so if you restored from a backup after updating, then they should be in the backup, unless you have done a backup since then. If you have an older backup done while the photos were on the phone, you can restore to that backup, however understand anything done since that backup would be lost.

Icloud Lost photos in Camera Roll when I backed up to my Mac

I recently took a bunch of photos (while synced with icloud) and upgraded my phone from 4g to 4gs...I saw my pictures on the phone prior to syncing to my computer (macbook). When I synced my phone to my computer, off of the old back-up (on my mac), i lost all the photos in my icloud that I had taken prior. I have looked everywhere for them with no Luck. Note: The new phone had icloud set up to sync (to include pictures).
So my question is, is there a saved backup in the icloud server i can get them back? where did they go? Why are some of the older ones there, but the newer ones are not? what is really strange is i have photos on the cloud from before AND after those pics I am looking for, but those are missing. please help!
Thx....

Hi. This sounds like a refresh issue. Can you try the following. Navigate within PS Touch one level up to the "Local Photos" - see attached scrrenshot. After that try to access your photos form the Camera Roll again.
Hope that helps.

Error message when opening photo from Camera Roll

I just updated to iOS 4.3
Now, when I open a photo from camera roll it says "El formato de esta pelicula es incompatible", which means something like "The format of this movie is not compatible" (it doesn't matter if I try to open a photo or a movie).
So I tap the "OK" button below the message and then I can see the photo.
Any idea of what this means?
Thank you!

Answer is in this post:

Just delete the corrupted movie.

HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

Hi JM,
Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
Sorry....

HT201302 How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

If these are albums, you created on your phone, using pics in your camera roll, you delete the pics from your camera roll & they will be deleted from the albums as well. The albums don't actually contain any photos, only pointers to the actual photos, which are in your camera roll.
So, the answer to your question is no.

With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up. I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

how do i delete photos from camera roll after i add them to specific folders ?

Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app. When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

HT201317 I deleted photos from camera roll as well as photo streamer. How to recover photos?

If the camera roll photos were on your device when you last backed it up, restoring the backup should recover them. Deleted photo stream photos can't be recovered unless they were also in the camera roll.

HT4890 Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

Photos taken on your device (which are saved to the camera roll) after enabling photo stream are automatically added (when connected to wifi, the camera app is closed, and you have at least 20% battery power remaining). If you want to add earlier photos you'll have to either email them one by one to yourself, then open the email and save them back to your camera roll (which will now upload to photo stream because it is considered a new photo), or you can send them all at once using an app like PhotoSync. With this app you can transfer them wirelessly to your computer, then delete them from your camera roll on your phone, the send them back to the camera roll from your computer (which will again cause them to be seen as new photos). (iTunes will not transfer photos to your camera roll so you can't just import them and sync them back.)

How do i move photos from Camera roll to My photo stream on i4s

how do i move photos from Camera Roll to My photo Stream and then make sure all photos go strait to my photo stream

Hi Bobnbo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want the photos in your Camera Roll to be moved to My Photo Stream. The article linked below answers a lot of frequently asked questions about My Photo Stream, it should answer your question and give you some other general information you may be interested in also.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture automatically upload when you connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream upload.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and, under Favorites, select iCloud Photos if you're using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later (or Photo Stream if you're using 2.1 to 2.1.3). Open My Photo Stream. Click the Add photos button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
I hope this helps.

I can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

i can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

Emailing multiple photos from camera roll

Search threads but didn't find. Can multiple photos from camera roll be sent in an email on the iPhone 4

In round about way yes.
Go to photos.
In thumbnail view click menu item (think moved to top right in iOS4) to enable multiselect.
Select photos (up to 5 ... sorta) and then you can click share.
The sorta part is that if you do more than 5 the share will go away, but you can still select more, then choose copy, then go open email and paste in more than 5.
