No Camera Roll Folder?

I have been looking for an answer for about a few months now. I seen some similar to this problem but nothing quite like mine. So basically I take pictures with my iPhone camera. When I hit the "Photos" application I have 1 album which is called "progress-fs-import" that cannot be deleted and the pictures I take with the camera are not saved onto this. When I open my "Camera" app and hit the thumbnail on the bottom left corner, that is where all my pictures are stored and saved. The problem lies here because when I try to sync these photos and videos, they are not found in my iPhoto or my iTunes. It just says that there are no photos/videos on my phone at all. So what I have been doing is basically emailing the pictures from my phone to my email. The only problem is with the videos they are too long and I have to crop them to a ridiculous short time. I have tried restoring my phone to factory settings, updating my hardware, and all that. Nothing seems to work at all. Can anyone help me at all? Thank you!

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup if done by iTunes instead of wirelessly with an iCloud account. The Camera Roll contents will never be found in iTunes.
When restoring your iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from the backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
If the former, try the latter.

HT204073 How to add photos to "camera roll" folder on iPhone ?

I am trying to delete some recorded videos on my iPhone 6 but unfortunately I am facing some difficulties:-(! The trash can option is either not available or is greyed out. What happened is that I accidentally deleted my photo content when I transferred all photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac and now the "camera roll" folder on my phone shows "0" content. I believe since I don't have any item on my "camera roll" folder I am out of luck in deleting some of the video on my phone's "video folder" where these videos are residing.
If you can provide some help on how to delete my videos I would love to hear it:-)!
Respectfully,
Farshad

You remove the content in the same manner that you put it there, through a sync in iTunes. After connecting the device to iTunes, you need to remove the content you want from the device in iTunes, then sync. Photos are synced with the photo tab, and you mark what you want synced and remove the mark from content you don't want, or want to remove. The same is true for movies/videos. Check what you want from the library, remove the check from content you want to remove from the iPhone.

HT1386 I deleted all my photos in the Camera Roll folder,I created separate folders containing all my pisctures. When I sync my iPhone it shows that all the pictures are loaded. But nothing displays on my phone?

Hey Guys,
I need some advice. I had about 9000 pitures and photos in my camera roll folder.
I wanted to manage all these pictures into separate folders for easier access.
I imported all the pictures onto my pc, and created and managed the pics.
I synced the phone and excluded the photos,as advised on the site.
The I disconnected the phone, connected again and included the pictures.
On the coclour tab it indicates that all the pictures are there, after syncing,
but on my phone, nothing appears.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way of importing my pictures
onto the phone and keeping the separate folders?
Thanks,

If you don't find an iTunes backup as suggested above, another possibility is that the phone was setup to automatically back up to iCloud. You can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage to see if your device name is listed there. If it is, the section titled "How do I restore an iCloud Backup if my device is already set up for use?" in the following link gives directions on how to resore it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
Also, I'm sorry to hear you lost 5 years of pictures. Having them in one place (as you unfortunately found out) is not a good idea as all kinds of things can happen including loss of the phone. If you have a computer it is a good idea to periodically import them to the computer where you can see that they have successfully transferred to a second location. Following is instructions on how to do that if you want to in the future: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

How can I save a folder with pictures in it, on PC or MAC? (Not Camera Roll)

Dear Apple Community,
I want to save a Folder with pictures in it, that I created from the iPhone.. these photos (and videos) are available only in this folder and I don't want to loose them at all!
Whatever, how can I save this folders on my mac? and/or PC? And I don't mean the camera roll folder! Just this folder that I created on the iPhone.
Thanks in advance for you anwers!

Not supported by Apple. The only photos that can be imported from an iPhone are photos in the camera roll.

Moving photos/downloaded pics from camera roll to another photo folder on Iphone

Is this possible. I created a new photo folder that appears on my Iphone called "Other Pictures". Now say I download a wallpaper or some other pic from the internet or save a pic from an email, it automatically goes to my camera roll folder. How can I move them to my "Other Pictures' folder on my Iphone. Can this be done on the Iphone itself somehow?
Or can this only be done via a mac, if so how do I locate the camera roll pics on my mac.

No. Photos saved through Safari, MMS or email can only be saved to the camera roll.

Use image capture or iPhoto to import the pics to your computer. Then create an album, add the photos to that album, then select that album under the photos tab in iTunes to sync to your phone.

We can't get to the camera roll right now

I have a dell Latitude 10 table with Windows 8.1 RT. Last week I decided to unload all the pictures from the camera roll to my PC and I did it without a problem, but in the process I removed the camera roll folder under the public pictures library. Since
then, the camera app is not working and it gives me the following message: "We can't get to the camera roll right now". I've re-created the folder, set the default save location and public save locations to the Public Pictures folder but the error
keeps popping up every time I open the camera application. If I try to shoot a photo or a video it tells me that it couldn't be saved. How do I set the camera app to use the new folder?

I had the same Problem, and all experts could not help. I even dowloaded tools that say thy would fix the problem. Anyway as a matter of fact it still is a computer, no magic.
I found a way: Open regedit, search for "User Shell Folders".
Then check all the directories.
In my case one of the directories refered to the one I deleted. I just changed it and restarted my computer.
On my iconia it saves into this key:
I changed it | Keep the Name of the folder "Camera Roll" depending on your language it will rename the folder in the Explorer library automaticly. (in Germany to Eigene Aufnahmen)

Camera Roll not restoring from iCloud back-up

Due to an extremely large amount of "other" on my iPhone 5 I decided to reset / delete and restore from iCloud. Camera roll IS turned on in my cloud back-up, and I backed it up just before reset / delete phone.
When I restore from iCloud back-up everything works perfectly except my camera roll reloading. It just continues to say 'Downloading" (with the little circle thing going round & round) with no change or progress. It never says "downloadng xx of xxx" or anything like that. The photo stream has restored with no problem.
I hope I can restore the camera roll because it has videos that aren't saved anywhere else, but if not how the heck do I stop the "downloading..." at the bottom of the camera roll folder and get on with my life? Any help will be much appreciated.

Actually I posted here only after trying ezjules suggestions No luck. Even stranger is that even after I "stopped restoring" my camera roll is acting the same,; still says Downloading at the bottom. Strange.. Here is a screen shot after I have stopped the restore in settings.

Camera Roll showing incorrect number of photos

The Camera Roll doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.
When I import photos into iPhoto, i select the option to delete them from the phone.
The photos disappear, but the number of photos apparently in the Camera Roll isn't reset to zero.
Anybody else have this problem?

Can you please post the process steps you're using to move or change your synced photos...
Typically, I would connect my iPhone to my mac, I would manually sync (automatic sync is disabled), I would then remember that I have taken photos, run iPhoto '09 and import the pictures, selecting to delete them when the import process is complete.
I have smart folders in iPhoto that include all iPhone pictures, so I would sync again to the the photos back on my phone.
Also...when you tell iPhoto to delete and then the camera roll still shows a number...are there pictures there or does it have no pics but still has a number???
After iPhoto has deleted the photos, the camera roll has the same number and the Camera Roll folder is empty.

How to transfer photo back to iphone camera roll?

I accidentally click delete after import while importing photo from iPhone to iPhoto. All photos in my iPhone's camera roll were gone.
I have tried to sync photo back to iPhone but it only created a new folder rather than putting photo back to camera roll.
Is there any way to transfer photos to camera roll folder?

You don't - not without a paid 3rd party utility.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
Transfer the photos from your previous computer to your new computer from your computer's backup along with all other important data.

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?

Save (or Sync) Camera Roll from iPhone to my "My Pictures" on my computer.

I had some issues with the 2.0.1 update and had to restore my iPhone from a different computer. Then I hooked my iPhone backup to my main computer and was going to restore from my backup, however, iTunes immediatly performed a backup of my iPhone (Newly Restored) so I lost my settings.
I have taken a lot of photos on my iPhone and now lost all of them except for the ones I've emailed or sent to MobileMe. I must say that it is a bit of a pain if I have to send each picture to MobileMe one at a time.
Is there a way when I sync my iPhone that it will automatically write the photos on cameral roll to a folder I specify in "My Pictures" on my computer? If not, this should be something that is included in a next update.
Also, I would like the ability to send multiple photos in an email.
Thanks!

This is an issue I've had myself. It is rather irritating that I can sync up other photos from my computer TO my iPhone, but not anything in the Camera Roll folder. Ive read the argument that the phone is being treated as a digital camera in this case and that adding functionality to a program isn't all that easy, but I really don't buy either of these arguments in this case.
For one thing, iTunes already knows how to sync jpeg photos between my computer and my PC. I can put any folder containing jpeg images ONTO my iPhone through the sync mechanism in iTunes. The iPhone is saving the images as jpegs in the Camera Roll folder (I'm extrapolating this by virtue of the fact that when I email an image from Camera Roll, it attaches a jpeg image). By extension, it should just be a matter of making the Camera Roll folder accessible from the Photos sync. Camera data is usually stored in the tags of a file, which shouldn't be lost when transferring files back and forth. And if it is, just give me a little warning and let me choose.
So, as far as I'm concerned, iTunes already knows how to do this. Why is the functionality not included? I am able to use Windows Explorer to copy files like I would from any digital camera, but why should I have to do that when iTunes syncs everything else.
