No.  Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup.  And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone.  Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. 
Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • How to upload photos and videos from a camera via an SD Reader after the iOS7 upgrade?

    Since uploading iOS7 I have also found that my iPad2 will not upload from my SD card reader (in this case Model A1362). With iOS6 it worked perfectly. I also cannot now upload videos using iTunes, only photos.
    This is a major loss of functionality for me since, when travelling, I would upload pictures and videos from my camera to the iPad, edit them on the iPad, and then post them on social media. It also acted as a backup in case the SD card was damaged or lost.

    Mine works now too. Maybe it was the upgrade to iOS 7.0.2? Or maybe it had something to do with changing SD cards? I was using a high performance 4GB card, switched to a standard 2GB card and it worked and now appears to work with the 4GB cards as well (standard and high performance).
    Go figure.

  • How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

    How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

    Photos taken with your iPhone go into Camera Roll and added to Photo Stream.
    After 30 days, photos will be removed from Photo Stream. They will say in Camera Roll.
    You should download Photo Stream photos to your computer regularly so you have them.

  • Photos were deleted from my camera roll and not backed up. Is there any way to retrieve them??

    Photos were deleted from my camera roll and I hadn't backed them up anywhere. Is there any way of getting them back??

    If they were on the iphone at last sync, then you may be able to restore from backup and get them back.
    Otherwise, they are gone.

  • HT201302 I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
    While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.

  • Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!

    Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!  I don't think the phone is fit for purpose as any other phone i've had has been dropped and been fine and surely they expect a mobile to be accidentally dropped at least once!!

    Yeah, sad to hear of your accident:
    If you dropped it on concrete- that is the hardest material and chance of damage goes up tremedously.  Actually you are fortunate not to have mobile insurance because then you have to trust your insurance provider to provide you with a quality replacement or repair.
    Apple is always spot-on you know what you're getting.  They can always attempt to replace JUST the display on an iPhone 5 for $149 + tax is what I've heard them quote others. But they said it's $229 to replace your phone with another whole new iPhone 5.  Get the AppleCare+ because two of these incidents will only cost you $49 + tax in the future!

    I just got an iphone. Can I setup my own Apple ID and share my wifes itunes account?
    Thanks for your time

    Do you both sync to the same computer or have separate computers? If separate, my recommendation is to set up individual apple IDs and then use home sharing if you want to share music or apps or other content. I don't think you HAVE to though.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

  • On my iphone 4g if I select the "Photos" app a list appears: Camera Roll

    On my iphone 4g if I select the "Photos" app a list appears: Camera Roll, then Photo Library. There is a large title covering the top of this list: "Albums". This title prevents me from selecting Camera Roll. Anyone know how to select Camera Roll beneath this obtrusive title? John R

    Tapping? If I tap the Photos icon it goes to the Photos List. If I tap the Photos icon in the multitask bar it goes to the Photos List. What the heck does your taping do that mine doesn't?
    I just reset the phone last week, it didn't change this situation.
    The only thing I see that shaking icons do is enable to move them around on the iphone desktop windows.
    What are you talking about?

    After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The  requested URL was not found on this server".
    Anyone have any ideas?

    You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
    I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
    1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
    2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
    3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
    4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
    5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
    6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
    7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
    8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
    I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.
