Messed up Camera Roll thumbnails from iPhone5 iCloud restore

Has anyone else experienced messed up thumbnails restoring from an iCloud backup to new iPhone5? There is a huge section in my Camera Roll where the 2nd and 4th columns do not display thumbnail images. Same with Photostream. I can click on the gray thumbnail and see the image so I know they're there. It is just messed up thumbnails. I'm not sure how to fix this?

I'm having the exact same problem, did you find a solution?

  • How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

    I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

    That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
    I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
    - made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
    - restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
    - My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
    - Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
    The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
    I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

    Hi,
    It's normal, it's replaced with another folder.

  • Is there any way to get camera roll pics from Jan-Apr of this year that are stored in a backup of an iPhone on iCloud without overwriting the current iPhone data (and pics)?

    OK, here's a fun challenge for everyone out there. My wife got an iPhone 5 for Christmas (2012) last year, and we purchased the iCloud backup to go with the new phone. She was backing up her iPhone as usual (when plugged in and connected to Wifi), including the camera roll (we didn't figure out how to use the Photostream feature until AFTER we had to reset her phone as described below).
    So...in April 2013, she had to reset her phone--wipe out everything on it--and start over again. At that time, we discovered the photostream feature, and have been backing up pics from her iPhone to my PC (and a portable hard drive) since April. But, we do NOT have our pics from Jan-Apr 2013, and are both kind of freaking out that we lost 3 months of our kids lives (including both birthdays). I believe they are stored on iCloud (as part of a back up image from her iPhone stored on iCloud). I would like to get those pictures, but the only way I've seen from user threads to get those pictures is to RE-load a backup image on her iPhone, then take the camera roll pics and put all the pictures on a shared photostream so that I can then get them on my PC and save them off. But, to do that, my wife would have to put her phone back 8 months, which as anyone could understand is not something to be done lightly (it is her work phone also).
    So, long story short, we have some pics on iCloud that I need to get to---how do we get back those pictures? Can someone from Apple pull down the backup image to get to the pics, then put them on our iCloud photostream?
    Thanks so much for your help, and Happy New Year!

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • I need to delete all my pictures off of my iPhone because I have run out of storage.  I have downloaded all pics to my mac but is my entire camera roll backed up on iCloud as well? I just want to make sure before I delete them from the phone.

    I need to delete all my photos off my iphone because I have run out of local storage.  I have synced with my Mac but also wanted online backup.  Are all my photos from the camera roll uploaded to iCloud?  I just want to make sure I can retrieve them after I erase from the phone and in case my Mac crashes.

    Import photos through iPhoto. (You will prompt to delete from iPhone when import competes).
    Backup your Mac. (At least the iPhoto Library)
    Backup to iTunes.
    Backup to iCloud. (Check in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>your device name>Camera Roll ON).

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Camera roll photos may take a while to repopulate your new phone, are you sure you have given it long enough.

  • Need to free up storage space but want to make sure photos from my camera roll are definitely in iCloud before deleting them. iPad3, IOS 8.1.3

    I have plenty of iCloud storage space but need to free up storage on the iPad. If I delete the camera roll photos and the photostream, will I be able definitely to access the photos in iCloud? in Settings > iCloud I have no iCloud Library....so I'm confused. If someone can help, I'd be grateful.

  • HT4847 Is there a way to only sync your camera roll (new pictures) to iCloud or is it an all or nothing type thing?

    I'm wondering if there is anyway to change your backup settings through iCloud to only sync the camera roll as opposed to all of the other folders as well. Considering your new pictures automatically save in your camera roll, it would make sense to be able to just save the new pictures one would think. I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I was hoping that I may be overlooking something. Thanks in advance

    Photo stream only adds new photos by design.  It also only adds photos from the camera roll, not any albums (folders)*.  Photos added to the camera roll are automatically added to photo stream, once enabled.  The remain in photo stream for 30 days.  After 30 days they are deleted from photo stream, but will remain in your My Photo Stream folder until deleted.
    *Any album that includes photos from your camera roll only contains links to the photos in the camera roll, not duplicate photos.  Photo stream doesn't add these "photos" because the actual photos they link to are in the camera roll.

  • Deleting photo's  ( taken on ipad2 camera ) on the camera roll directly from ipad

    I am new to all this stuff....as Grannies are....but here goes...
    I just got an iPad2 with the iOS5 ( the only apple device I have ). I have had it 8 Days....
    I took some photos with the iPad2 camera then I transferred them to a new album, following the directions in the downloaded User's Guide.
    That worked OK.
    Now I want to delete some photo's from the Camera Roll. Looked up how to delete from Camera Roll in the U/Guide which says...Open Camera, tap box in the lower L/H bottom corner, open a photo, then tap garbage bin.
    I have done all this but instead of saying, in the red box, " Delete Photo ", as it should, it says " Delete Everywhere " which takes the photo out of the Camera Roll as well as the album it was put into. I tried it out once and it did delete from both places. !!!
    Then when I open Photo's, then open an album and tap on a photo and follow what the U/Guide tells you to do, open a photo then tap the Garbage bin, I get the same message there too " Delete Everywhere "
    There seems to be no way to change from Delete Everywhere to Delete Photo.   ????  AND it also altered a photo in another completely different album ( one that I synced from my PC ) in that, instead of a photo, I now have a light grey square with a question mark in the centre of it in place of the picture , yet when I tap on the grey square the photo then opens.  ????
    Can anyone help please ?

    I have managed to find a fix for my problem .
    I have discovered the following…..To Delete Photos from Camera roll.
    If when you open “Camera” on your  iPad , you have photos on your camera roll that you haven’t put into an album directly from the camera roll in “ Photos” then you can Delete them as the User Guide  states eg. …Open Camera … tap the thumbnail box in the lower L/H bottom corner and a bigger display of thumbnails of your photos will appear….tap the box with the arrow in it on the upper R/H side….then tap on the thumbnail , this will put a blue circle with a white tick in it on the lower R/H corner of that thumbnail and the Red Delete button will come alive…..tap the delete button and you will get a drop down saying …Delete Photo…tap this and the photo will disappear and it will also disappear from the little thumbnail box in the lower L/H corner….do this with all photos …then tap Done……you will now have an empty camera roll.
    HOWEVER…….if  in “ Photos” you have put any of these photos that are on the Camera roll album into other albums directly on your iPad you will NOT be able to delete them in this manner..….When you open “ Camera “ and pull up your thumbnails and follow the above process the Drop down from the Red Delete button will say…Delete Everywhere…meaning from the camera roll and the particular Album you have that photo in……in short you will loose the photo completely.
    This next bit is for those of us who have PC’s that are not Apple.
    I plugged my iPad into my computer via the Dock connector to USB cable that came with the iPad and copied the camera roll onto my PC using the Microsoft Photo Wizard  to load all the photos I had taken with my iPad camera onto my PC’s …My Pictures….they all transferred OK….I  disconnected the cable from the iPad to the PC.   Then on the PC with MY Pictures open  I sorted and renamed and created folders /albums to suit my needs…..
    Now make Blank Folder in My Pictures  and leave it sit there  empty.
    OK now time to clear the IPad of all the stuff I don’t want on there.
    Now you can go back into “Photos” on the iPad and use the “Delete Everywhere” or button and it will do that.  You can also go back into “Camera” and make sure that all of the camera roll is deleted as well. You should end up with no Camera roll in either the Photos or Camera apps. 
    Pull up iTunes on the PC….Plug in the cable again….Click on Device name and you get a sync menu…click on photos …tick sync to iPad  and then choose selected albums…..and then tick the albums you wish to copy to your iPad and click on apply…..this will then only sync those photo albums you have ticked….Yay !
    Now I had some problems with some photos disappearing and leaving just a light grey square with a question mark in it, in the place where the photo should have been ,whilst I was trying to delete the camera roll ( see first discussion) before I worked out a way to do it so I chose to Delete ALL the albums I had previously synced from my PC to fix that as well….and no, I don’t know what caused that to happen, however,
    ……… To do this I did as above…with the sync menu open click photos…then tick selected albums…. Then selected the  Blank Folder I had created earlier on my PC and Nothing else…...then click apply… your screen may ak if this is what you want to do.....this will delete all the photos on the iPad that have been synced on there before. ……
    Now with everything back to blank screens you can go ahead and select those albums you do want on your iPad from your computer and resync .
    This method has worked for this “ Granny “ and I didn’t have a huge amount of photos on the camera roll so it may be a bit long and laborious if you do have a gazillion photos on your camera roll and I don’t know about bulk deleting…….but I now have a working  iPad and only the Photos I want on it and no grey squares with question marks.
    This may be a bit long winded as an article but I hope it can help someone else to sort out their problems, as I have now done, and after looking at many sites for help info there appears to be quite a bit of confusion out there with these apps.
    Happy Now...
    Granny 2012.

  • Does camera roll save during an iCloud backup?

    I just purchased an iPad and trying to restore it with the apps and photos from my iPhone. I backed my iPhone up through iCloud and them restored my iPad with that backup to transfer my photos. The on,y photos that transferred were from my photo stream which weren't many. I was under the impression that camera roll photos saved also during iCloud backup. Am I wrong? Does anyone know how I can get my camera roll photos back? They're not on iTunes.

    iCloud backup will save your Camera Roll as long as you tell it to.
    Here is where you choose what items to backup with iCloud:
    Settings > iCloud > Storage &Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device > all the apps will be listed. From here you can toggle on the items you want backed up with iCloud.
    If your photos were never transfered to your computer and you have no iTunes or iCloud backup of them then I don't know anyway of getting them back.
    It is always best practice to transfer phots/videos from your phone to your computer so they can be backed up.

  • Photo in camera roll not synced to iCloud

    I was out in London the other day and used my phone to take some photos, at one point my phone went below 20% battery therefore any photos taken would not have synced to "my photo stream" until phone is placed on charge again then these would re-sync. However I've just noticed that I have one photo less in "my photo stream" and this is a photo taken when iPhone was below 20% battery.
    Why has this photo not synced to iCloud? This should have synced once phone was on charge? Why can't I add it manually to "my photo stream".
    P.s. I don't want to add it to a "shared photo stream" and I don't want to edit it the photo and save as a new copy and then the new copy is synced to "my photo stream" the photo was taken on a date and it should have synced.
    Can someone please shed some light why this disruption has occurred...?
    iCloud isn't perfect but it is great for automated syncing, Apple can definately improve on, I think the 1000 photos v 30 day limitation should be increased.
    This sync issue has happened to me before but I need to know why this is happening and if it can be fixed. I don't understand why I can't just add it manually to "my photo stream" and it automatically uploads to the correct place so my camera roll is exactly the same "my photo stream" except videos of course until iOS7, thumbs up Apple improve upon this.

    That hasn't answered why this problem has occurred and if you read my original question I said I don't want to edit the photo and create a NEW COPY! Yes of course that work but why didn't it upload in the first place!
    PLEASE READ THE QUESTION BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT!

  • How can I move photos to my camera roll, or from an album to my pc?

    I can sync my camera roll, but I have 500+ pics in other albums - is there a way to copy them to my pc?

    Albums/photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be added to the Camera Roll, and the sync process for these photos is a one way transfer process only. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
    Photos in the Camera Roll added to user created albums are not duplicated photos on the albums. The photos are stored in the Camera Roll with a pointer to the original photos only in the user created albums. You import photos/videos the in the Camera Roll only with your computer as with any other digital camera.

  • How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for your input guys!
    //Richard

    Only if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.
