My iPhone 5 camera roll is empty, but under usage says 3.1GB - how can I delete?
I can't download the latest iPhone software b/c my Camera Roll is taking up 3.1GB of space, but it shouldn't be as I have only about 10 photos on my camera roll. Photo stream is off, as well as photo sharing. Any help would be appreciated!
I tried to do this:
Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera > swipe on Camera Roll and tap Delete.
But it does not give me an option to delete - no Edit button, no swiping Delete button. Is that a glitch or am I missing something?
Also, I read about iExplorer and tried a demo - there were quite a few files under a folder labeled DMIV or something...tried to delete but they wanted me to buy the software before I could. Don't know if this is a scam or if there are hidden photo files which is what it seems like.

Camera roll is empty, but usage claims space is being used
Hi all. I hope someone can help me with this.
My camera roll contains no items. I upload all new pictures and videos to OneDrive and then delete them from the camera roll to save the hassle of connecting my iPhone 5s to my Mac to copy them.
I've never lost items using this technique; that's not the issue here. The issue is when I go to Settings>General>Usage>Photos & Camera the camera roll is apparently using 63.4MB of storage space on my device.
This also happened after I migrated from my 4s to my 5s. My camera roll was empty but was allegedly using over 700MB of storage. I attempted to resolve this by using an iCloud backup and omitting the camera roll, which resolved the issue but caused more serious problems, one of which was preventing me from syncing music to my device.
I have a 64GB device so I'm not very short on storage, but I don't like the idea of something taking space on my device for no good reason (that's why I don't use Photo Stream anymore, by the way). Besides, 700MB was far too much to lose for something that was, for all intents and purposes, empty.
I eventually decided to reset my 5s entirely and set it up as a new device. This thankfully reset the camera roll back to zero bytes, but it's once again started culminating seemingly redundant storage usage. Thanks to iCloud most of my apps have retained their data, so I'm not too bothered about having to do this, but I'd rather not have to make it a habit every time my empty camera roll takes up close to a gigabyte of storage.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Can anything be done about it?I tried to do this:
Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera > swipe on Camera Roll and tap Delete.

My camera roll is empty, but when I go to "General" > "About" it says I have 479 photos. I have the iPhone 6 and just updated to iOS 8.1.3, but I think this problem occurred before that.
I do have one other album on there, but there are only 102 photos on that - forgot to mention.
So I'm very confused as to where these extra non-existent photos are coming from. It should say that I only have 102 photo's shouldn't it? Where did these other 377 photos come from?
I cleared all my whatsapp conversations as well and that did nothing.Glad Im not the only one! Same thing is happening to me.. Says 2 photos are in the roll when there is none.. If I add one, it says 3.. happened since upgrade to 3.1.. nothing seems to make this right again... Those "ghost" photos don't appear when syncing with iPhoto either...

I bought a used iPhone and found him email iCloud does not affect me so how can I deleted this email in order to use the device freely and privacy
help me pleaseYou can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
Apple can't/won't help you with this. -

I open the photo icon from the scrren application and it open to albums. The camera roll icon is behind this wording, when I try and scroll to get to it, it only goes straight behind and i am unable to open photos from here. I can get to the photo the long way but do not want to continue to do this. It has only just started happening.
It helps people like me if you say how!
double tap the menu key
press and hold the photos icon until you get the minus sign
tap minus sign to remove it from task bar
problem solved ... for a while! -
iPhoto isn't seeing any of my pictures. Help appreciated.
If you meant to transfer the iPhone's photo library to a computer?
Yes you can but you need a 3rd party tool to do that:

So I'm new to Garage band and I know I can use my computer keyboard as a midi interface for some instruments, i.e. drums. However I notice that when I click on some instruments like horns or guitar a pop up opens that says I need to download them at about 1.2 GB of free storage. I click on ok to start the download and the app store pops up but after loading it tells me there are no updates available. Could it be possibly bc I am using the GB that came on the computer and not the paid app or is it just me not doing somehting right? Not sure what else to do and I want these instruments to fool around with and create awesome music...any help would be appreciated.
Mahalo!You should be able to download and use the additional loops without a problem, but it works not always smoothly. And there have been different fixes that worked for different people. See this long thread if something will work in your case:
GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15137750#15137750
Sometimes you simply need to reload the "Updates" tab of the AppStore using ⌘R after signing in with your AppleID and starting the download. -
This is a weird one - like I said, camera roll is empty, but phone's memory is full. Under usage it shows that have 8.8 gb worth of photos (which is what it should be approximately). I cannot access the photos from computer as well - under import pictures it shows that the re are none available to be imported. The phones memory is full, i cannot get updates and etc, but CANNOT find the pictures.... please help!!!!
I found a fix guys, had the same thing... photos gone from camera role but still showed they are occupying the memory.
if you download iFunbox (www.i-funbox.com) you will be able to acccess you iphone, ipod, ipad system and can just copy to computer the jpg files from the RAW FILE SYSTEM or CAMERA tab by selecting all the photos. -
After doing the initial restore function, I'm trying to delete phots from the system. The itures instructions says to click the photos button the unselect photos or albums, but see no photos button. How can I delete the photos to gain some storage space?
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
Why is my iPhone Camera Roll using 10.0 GB but my Photo Library only using 6.3 GB?
When I look at usage in my iPhone, Camera Roll is using 10.0 GB, but Photo Library is only using 6.3 GB. I do not have Photo Stream enabled. Why the difference?
In my case, Camera Roll is just the pictures taken on my phone and the remainder of the photos on my phone were synced from my computer via iTunes and are under "Photo Library". If you go to Photos and then tap Albums at the bottom right, it will show which pictures are in the Camera Roll. My Camera Roll usage is much smaller than Photo Library as I only have 2 pictures there since I regularly import them to my computer where I have more control and extra backup capability. I then sync back some that I want to also have on the phone.
