Is it possible to put photos back onto Camera Roll.

This will sound silly but I updated my phone yesterday and was having trouble syncing with my pc. So i took all the Photos from the camera roll and saved them on my desktop. However, upon updating I have noticed 2 things :
I now have seperate folders for the camera roll on DCIM (They are grouped into years it would seem) when i open my phone on autoplay.
and secondly.
I cannot add photos to the camera roll. I had 1800 pictures from all over the world which I liked having on there due to the places icon in Photos.
Is there anyway of adding these photos back onto the camera roll, or am I going to have to suck it up and chalk it down to experience.
Thanks in advance.

I had this question too, but I didn't want to compromise. After hours of research: Dropbox
I have been putting pictures onto my laptop from my phone because I kept on filling up my iCould backup because I only had 5 GB of storage. I recently upgraded to 50 GB of storage. So now I am painfully putting every picture into camera roll.
I personally I am doing this on a 10.8.1 Macbook Pro running a quad 2.6 i7 w/ 8GB of RAM if anyone is curious.
First click on Finder, click on Pictures, select the pictures you want by drawing a box over the pictures you want to save to Dropbox and then right-click over the selected items and click on Copy X Items
Next click on the Dropbox select the folder you want to save the pictures to, right click in an empty space and select Paste X Item
Wait until you see green check marks like in the screen shot above to ensure the pictures are uploaded. Then go to your iPhone. In this case an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1. I am going to assume you know how to search for and install an app, so go and get Dropbox from the App Store
Go ahead and choose a picture go ahead and save it. Now keep on repeating until the job is done. Here is what one picture save looks like.
I know it says photo library, but here is my Camera Roll with pictures that I saved using Dropbox. I edited outit all the faces.

Putting photos back onto your ipod (4g) using itunes windows?

Hi, I have been having troubles putting photos back on my ipod (4g). Its easy talking them off I just plug my ipod into my computer and go into the folder and copy and paste my photos onto my desktop. But I have been having a diffecult time putting those same photos back on. I Go to Itunes, click on my ipod, go to the top and sync my photos from my folder, but when I go on my ipod the photos are in there twice in two different albums and I cant delete them. Is there anyway that I can put these photos back into my camera role.

You are doing it the right way. I think yuare seeing the photos twice since one album on the iPod contains all photos on the iPod and ther are then individual album for photos such as synced photos (you can have more than one alubum if you used subfolders in the syncing folder), the Camera Roll album, ones you created on the iPod

Copying photos back onto camera

I retrieved photos from my camera onto the computer, and deleted them from the camera. I now need to put the photos back onto my camera's compact flash card, but can't figure out how??

Connect the camera and open Windows Explorer [My Computer]. Navigate to the "drive" which is the memory card and choose the right folder. Now open PSA SE, select the pictures and drag them onto Windows Explorer.

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?

Copy photos back into camera roll in order

Hi there, hope someone can help!
I copied a bunch of photos off from 2011 into iPhoto and deleted them from my phone, however I would like to put them back in but i'd like them to go in the camera roll back at the top so they are the first photos I took rather than the bottom. I tried copying them to the DCIM folder but cannot write to that folder which is annoying!
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

It has taken me four days trying to move photos back to my iPhone as well. I still haven't found a way. I know that the camera roll is a temporary storage tank. However, I use mostly my iPhone for editing and manipulating photos before I move them to iPhoto, sort them in folders and then sync them back.
My phone got stolen last week and the only thing I wasn't syncing to the iCloud were my photos as there were 7,800 of them. I have tried drop2roll and other apps that have been suggested by various users. Syncing folders via iTunes to the iPhone makes them read-only and does not allow deletion of photos. I really MUST have the original geo-location and date intact as I use the photos to upload to various apps and journals which require this information for appropriate entry creation.
Is there any way to do this guys or do I simply have to make the decision to sit down on my iMac, sort all these photos there first and then sync them back to my iPhone? Really frustrated here and tired of trying so many different things that haven't worked yet.

Putting photos back onto phone

My question is I know I can pull the photos and videos off of my phone under my computer and then under scanners and cameras. But why can't I add photos and videos back to this folder? I mean I know I can sync photos under the photo tab in itunes but I was trying to put some videos back in the same spot where I took them from. These are videos that I made with the iphone as well. Thank you in advance

If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a parent folder which will store the named folders for select photos that you want transferred to your iPhone only.
Place the photos in the appropriate named folders located in the parent that you want transferred to your iPhone.
Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
The named folders with photos in the selected parent folder will be transferred to your iPhone as separate named albums or folders. All photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library with the named albums or folders of the photos below. The photos in the named albums or folders below Photo Library are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view photos in an album or folder only by selecting the album or folder, or you can view all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
If you want to remove an album or folder from your iPhone, remove the named folder from the selected parent folder on your computer followed by a sync. To remove a photo from your iPhone, remove the photo from the appropriate named folder in the parent folder on your computer followed by a sync. To add another album or folder of photos, place the named folder in the selected parent folder on your computer followed by a sync.

I downloaded my photos to my laptop, and deleted the photos from my phone. If I want the pictures on my phone later on, can I put them back onto my phone?

I downloaded my photos on my laptop so I have them, I need to delete some of my photos for storage on my iPhone 4. If I want some of the photos that I have on my laptop, can I put them back onto my iPhone later on?

Yes you can.
(but if you do, also keep a copy on your computer)
One way is via iTunes: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
Another way is via a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com
Or via Photo Stream My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
or iCloud Photos: https://www.apple.com/icloud/photos/

Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created a desktop file for photos and SD card in Finder, dragged photos to card, but when I try to view them in the camera, it says "No valid photo to display"

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.

No one can help you any more than has been done
Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac?

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have. You probably have 2 GB of RAM... there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while. At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

Can i put photos back into the camera chip once they have been imported into my mac?

Can i put photos back into the camera chip once they have been imported to my Mac?

Export them
File -> Export
to a folder on the desktop. From there copy them back to your camera.
Remember, the camera has a quite specific set up of folders, and you'll need to put the files back in the correct place for them to be viewable on the camera.

Putting iWeb back onto Mac.

When I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I opted not to put iWeb back onto the computer using my Mac's original installation discs (which came with the Mac when I bought them.) Now I'd like it back on and don't know how to get to reinstall iWeb. Can anyone explain how to do it using the two start up discs?

How to re-load photos from pc onto camera roll on iphone 4

Is there a way to re-load those back onto the Camera Roll on her iPhone 4?

Thank you in advance

Camera Roll is only for photos taken by the iPhone or downloaded from the web. Photos synched back to the phone from the computer are stored in Photos.

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.

Is it possible to put photos back onto Camera Roll.
