ICloud not restoring my photos in the camera roll. HELP ! :(

Apparently I had to reset my iphone but before doing this I checked if my back up was updated with icloud and IT WAS!
After sucessfully completing the reset process I found out that all my stuff is back (contacts, notes, reminders etc.) EXCEPT the photos in my camera roll.
The pictures and videos were important, their backup was only on icloud :/
Then I reset my phone a few times again, choosing different backups each time but nothing helped!
I also checked my storage and backup options in settings to make sure there was a backup of my photos and it said "178 MB" next to the camera roll which means I should be able to get my photos back but instead the camera roll is empty :(
Now, I've tried everything and have failed.
Please Help ! It would be really appreciated.

Not sure if you still haven't fixed the problem by now. But the way I got round it was:
Going to the page where you can 'Erase all data and settings' etc (Settings>General>Reset)
And instead of pressing the button to erase literally everything, instead i pressed 'Reset AllSettings' instead, which takes you to the exact same Welcome setup thing (but the process is quicker coz it doesnt delete everything).
Then go through the steps as normal and try again, this time with a different restore point if you can.
Hopefully should do the trick.
I'm not sure if it worked becuase I used a different restore point, or becuase I Reset the settings and not everything. But it did the trick, and there all downloading now.
Good luck

  • How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • My iPhone 4 is unable to upload photos from the camera roll onto facebook. Keep getting the message "unable to upload now"

    My iPhone 4 is unable to upload photos from the camera roll onto facebook. I keep getting the message "unable to upload now, try later"

    I suffer same.  AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem.  I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media).  To no avail.  Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
    1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
    2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
    3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
    4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
    Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either.  I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying.  This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
    The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots.  Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

  • My iPhone's screen is unresponsive when emailing a photo from the camera roll

    Hello all, first time here, and I have an odd issue with my iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1.4
    If I go to my camera roll and select a photo, then go and select "mail" from the options, it brings up the typical email message(I use gmail)
    but if I go to tap the address section, it takes 5-6 taps to get the phone to bring up the keyboard to enter an address. The weirdest part is,
    if I go into my email and start a message normally, it only takes the 1 tap to get the phone to bring up the keyboard for the address. I have
    tried to reproduce this in other apps, and it appears to only happen when I email a photo from the camera roll.
    Any ideas? Maybe a backup/restore? Thanks in advance.

    Restored as new, did not restore from a backup. Set up my gmail account, took a test photo and tried to email it, and problem persists. Guess it must be a hardware thing, just so weird it only happens in the camera roll and not in regular email.
    Thanks for the advice and help everyone!

  • "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

    "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3.  My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
    So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing.  At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
    I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone.  There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
    What next please?

    An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
    As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?".  The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
    OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?".  Mistake.  You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone.  Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila!  Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
    Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

  • Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

    My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll.  After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

    "Why doesn't Apple fix this ?  "
    Because it is not broken.  it works exactly as intended.
    "If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
    Apple has it figured out.  That is what is on the iphone.

    Photos in the camera roll of "iPhone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  Tried just about everything - suggestions?

    Because your computer sees your phone, as it would see any digital camera, as long as you have photos in your camera role. Since you state you don't sync with this computer & have a passcode on your phone, that's why you get that message. The only way to prevent that message is either start syncing with this computer; remove the photos from your camera roll prior to connecting; or first turn off your passcode before you connect. Either that, or you live with it.
    You shouldn't be storing photos in your camera roll anyway. iPhone camera roll is not designed for photo storage. You should be regularly importing them.

  • How to disable the message that pops up every time i connect my iphone "photos in the camera roll of iphone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode"?

    Wrongly posted in iPhoto forum, should probably be posted here instead.
    I want to remove the message that pops up every time i connect my IPhone that says: "Photos in the Camera Roll of "Name" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.".
    This computer is not one that I want to import photos to (or sync with the iPhone), so this message is just very annoying, and it pops up all the time. I cannot find a way to disable this message. It is constantly appearing. No application is launching, I have turned off the iPhoto launch in the Image Capture app as well as in iPhoto. Thanks in advance if anyone has any information about this.

  • Is it possible to rename photo in the "camera roll" OR reset the photo number in iphone 4s? (Clearly explained the situation)

    Hi everyone, nice to meet you all. This is my first discussion starting in here and nice to meet you all. I used Android device before and this is my first apple mobile that I owned. I am using iphone 4s. (5.0.1)
    I have search a lot but no answer that how can I rename the photo in the camera roll in iphone or in Windows 7.
    What I want to do is:
    I have IMG_0006, IMG_0007, IMG_0015, IMG_0016, IMG_0017, total 5 files.
    I want to change the name that make their sequence will become IMG_0001, IMG_0002, IMG_0003, IMG_0004, IMG_0005 and I want the following picture will take place in IMG_0006. (This is just what I want but it never happened)
    but seems that I can't rename them and I have tried that if I take 2 pictures after IMG_0017, but I delete them (which is delete IMG_0018 and IMG_0019), then take another new picture again, it will name as IMG_0020 instead of IMG_0018.
    Questions:
    1. Are there any methods to reset the photo number by deleting file under the "PhotoData" that we can see in iPhone Explorer?
    OR
    2. Are there any methods to rename the photo in the "camera roll" folder?
    I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone.
    3. Is it possible that I can rename them directly and rebuild the camera roll by deleting the Photos.sqlite under the PhotoData folder to solve the unreadable problem in iphone 4?
    Thanks a lot to read all of the words above

    Thanks for your quick reply. I think I have tried but I cannot.
    There are no any options to let you choose "rename" in Windows 7 if you connect the iphone via USB
    I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone and just got nothing to show on its screen until I rename it into the previos name again then the picture will show properly.
    May be it can but I do not know how to rename them in Windows 7, could you please show me step by step?

  • When photo stream is supposed to be fixed?my photos  is not going to photo stream from camera roll, so when this problem will be fixed by apple?

    when photo stream is supposed to be fixed?my photos  is not going to photo stream from camera roll, so when this problem will be fixed by apple?

    There is nothing wrong with Photostream.  The "problem" is likely in the way you are using it.
    In order for photos to be moved into Photostream, two things must happen.  (1) you have to be connected to Wifi, and (2) you have to exit the Camera app. Unless both of those things happen, the photos will not be transferred to Photostream.
    So, shut down your camera app, and connect to Wifi.  Wait a while, and the photos you took with your iPhone should be transferred. 

  • Does the iPhone save photos in the camera roll uniquely  in a serial order?

    Hi there.
    Just to be in the safe side, and for backup purposes I want to make sure whether the iPhone ALWAYS saves photos in the camera roll uniquely in a serial order or not.
    In other words, If I copied the photos on my iPhone to my PC and then deleted them from my camera roll and later I had taken new ones, then:
    Is it going to keep on naming my the new photos sequentially  or is it going use the vacant numbers of the old ones. So that when backing up my photos again the new ones will replace the old ones?
    Please, answer me.
    Thanks.

    They get a new unique number like img_XXXX.jpg

  • Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed because the iPhone is locked with a passcode

    Having just updated to the latest system 6.0 (10A403) Everytime when I connect my Iphone to my Mac and open iphoto with the phone connected, a warning window keeps popping up. Showing "Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode."
    But it is not locked. The rest of the synch in iTunes seems to work fine but iPhoto says that there are no photos for importing, when thjere are many. Any assistance most appreciated. thanks

    Reenable the password and then disable it. The message should no longer appear.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.
