IOS devices don't put shared photos from Camera Roll onto My Photostream

I have photostream setup and working pretty well. I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads syching all their photos between them and sharing with others. My phortos are also being automatically saved on my mac mini using My Photostream.
The problem is when I want to add photos someone esle has shared on a photo stream into My Photostream. I save the photo I want into the Camera Roll of the device. This bit works fine but for somereason the photo isn't then put into My Photostream. It's very strange because if I put images into my Camera Roll through other methods (such as from an email or a screen capture and of course by taking a photo) the image gets into My Photostream. It's just images I imput from shared photostream that don't.
This is really frustrating because I want to easily have other people's photos that I want in my personal colleciton included in the backup on the mac mini. It's particularly nice how all my photos appear grouped by month in Events in iPhoto.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice on how to fix it? It's occuring with all my iOS devices so it looks like it might be a bug.

I'd rather not. Besides the hassle of the extra synch process, they'll come in as separate import events mixed in wih all my other photos and not be in the month by month photostream archive I mentioned.

Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address). I use yahoo with apples mail app. When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email. I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
Is there any way to do this?
I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts? Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this. Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
Any ideas?

Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account. Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out. I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate. Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either. Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly. I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
I want my google contacts and my calendar. If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that. I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers. Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too.
The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account. I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want.
If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues. I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
I could find an external driver to get photos before.
and I cannot sync the website bookmarks to my computer.
What can I do to solve this problem...??
HELP pls!!

Try disabling Norton and syning. If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.

How do I copy photo from camera roll to photo stream?

I've install IOS 5 and set up iCloud. I now have a Photo Stream album on the phone. How do I copy a photo from Camera Roll to Photo Stream album?

I copied some photos to the Photo Stream / Uploads folder on my PC and they did go to my iPhone. However, they also came back to the Photo Stream / My Photo Stream folder. So now I have two copies of the photos. Do I have to keep two copies of each photo on every device? That doesn't seem too smart.
I was also trying to copy a photo into the Photo Stream album on the iPhone and, somehow, that photo did get back to my PC. However, I have no idea how it happened? Any help there, Apple?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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....

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.

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.

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.

HT201317 How do I move photos from camera roll to photo stream

How do I move photos from camera roll to photo stream

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only adds photos taken after photostream activation, it doesn't do video at all.
To transfer photos from your camera roll taken before activation to your Mac, connect the device by USB and import your photos and videos through iPhoto.

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.)
