Not clear about My Photo Stream, Camera Roll, transfer into iMac.
When I transfer into iMac using wi-fi /iCloud, some of the photos are missing in Camera Roll (iPad) and iPhoto (iMac), usually the photos I want to keep, use and post.
They are there in Photo stream still. To get them I email them on or send to Facebook. Why?

What's the difference between "photo stream", 'camera roll' and 'photos' ?
I can't download the new update because I don't have enough storage. I bought more storage but my camera roll is 6.2 GB. Photo stream is 323 MB. Can someone please explain the difference between photo stream, camera roll, and photos. Thanks.
Photo Stream is a feature of iCloud;
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
The Camera Roll is an album on the iPad with any photos that you transfer from a camera or memory card using the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad or any screen shots that you take with the iPad or any photos that you take with the cameras on an iPad 2, as opposed to any albums that you have synced to the iPad from your computer using the iTunes app. The Camera Roll comes and goes as needed. If you have no photos that would go into the Camera Rol, it disappears, and returns when it is needed.
iPhoto is an Apple photo app for the Mac computer. It is part of the iLife suite of Mac apps;

Photo stream, camera roll not syncing
Pictures I'm taking in my camera roll aren't showing in the photo stream on my phone in a very timely manner. I have iCloud set up properly in both my MBP and iPhone, and I'd like to get a photo to my Photo Stream so I can use it on my MBP.
Hello Meridarida,
The following troubleshooting steps can help get your Photo Stream working.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream on a device using iOS 6) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

Photo Stream & Camera Roll using double memory?
I have a 16gb new iPad. I've noticed that since taking some home movies using the video camera (total of about 25 minutes) my available internal storage has dropped quite a bit along with my availble iCloud storage. I also noticed that all photos and videos are duplicated between the Photo Steam and Camera Roll. I'm not sure I've really figured out the difference between these two and whether I need them both. If I understand correctly, Photo Stream is there to work with iCloud to backup and also push stuff to other devices (but that feature has a 30day/1,000 photo limit)? On the other hand, the Camera Roll is permanent (although it also backs up to iCloud, depending on your settings)? I also understand that Photo Stream data doesn't eat into the free 5gb on iCloud, but Camera Roll does.
So, my questions are:
1. With respect to the internal storage on the iPad itself, am I losing twice as much memory for each photo/video that is in my Cameral Roll and also on the Photo Stream?
2. It doesn't seem to make sense that I have iCloud backing up my Camera Roll (which eats iCloud storage) if the same stuff is backed up on Photo Stream (without using iCloud storage) - I assume the only reason to continue allowing it to back up the Camera Roll is that the Photo Stream backup has limits? In other words, if I don't backup the Camera Roll and my iPad craps out on me, then my iCloud restore won't inlcude any photos or videos taken more than 30 days ago?Photos are included with the Photo Stream, not videos.
Photo Stream is temporary so if you have an iPhone and iPad, photos captured on one device will be available on the other device automatically and vice-versa. Your Photo Stream can also be accessed on your computer so you can add photos to the stream on your computer making the newly added photos available on each device without having to sync, and for saving photos in the Photo Stream locally on your computer's hard drive without needing to import the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer.
Photos in the Photo Stream as well as in the Camera Roll are taking up double the storage space.
Photo Stream is not a backup.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. -
Managing Photo Stream & Camera Roll
How do you regularly avoid deleting the same bad photo twice, once in the monthly Photo Stream album in iPhoto and once in the device's Camera Roll?
I like that My Photo Stream automatically copies photos into iPhoto. Problem is that any clean up that I do in iPhoto, (deleting bad shots) is not reflected in the Camera Roll. So I remain with a Camera Roll that still has everything. Next time I go to unavoidably plug my iPhone into iPhoto via USB to grab the videos, I have no easy way of figuring out which un-imported photos in the Camera Roll are there because I alredy deleted them in iPhoto or My Photo Stream mistakedly missed them (something that seems to happen often enough).
How are others managing this? Is there any way to remove photos from my iPhone/Pad's Camera Roll automatically as soon as they've transfered to iPhoto via My Photo Stream? Or maybe there"s a better way? Thanks.I don't import any photos from the camera roll any more, photo stream ensures I get all of them in iPhoto and I manaage them there from the events that they create. When I want to import video from the camera roll, that's all I import.

Why do some of the pix I take with my iPhone go to Photo Stream while others go to Camera Roll? Some pix go to one or the other, but not both. I don't know how to manage where my iPhone pix are saved. Please advise. Thanks.
Some other details that might be relevant...
Camera roll photos aren't uploaded to Photo Stream until the camera app is closed, you are connected to wi-fi, and your devices has at least 20% remaining battery power. This may explain why some of your photos are delayed in uploading. Also, only photos taken after Photo Stream is enabled are uploaded; earlier photos aren't. Finally, photos uploaded to Photo Stream should appear in both your Camera Roll and your Photo Stream albums (that is, unless you delete them from one or the other, or you have exceeded the 1000 photo and/or 30 day limit for Photo Stream photos). -
Please let me know the answer
An iOS device cannot be tracked without an internet connection. All you can do is physically look for it. Your camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup. Should you be unable to find the phone, restoring the backup to another iPhone (or iPod touch) should recover them. Bear in mind that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to access the backup before then.
You can also access photo stream photos from the last 30 days by setting up iCloud on your computer and enabling my photo stream (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/). -
Relationship between photo stream/camera roll/photo library and iPad/iPhone
Tying myself in knots trying to fathom all this and with iPhoto added to the mix.
I just seem to have photos all over the place with seemingly many duplications.
Would love to know the system a well-organised person has to keep all this sorted.
The most confusing thing is that the photo stream on my iPhone is different to the photo stream on my iPad and I had understood that this shouldn't be the case.
(would also have been glad to have known that having written this message once' it would be deleted when I added new products to the list at the bottom)iCloud is a very simple and easy to use system.
PhotoStream being one of the features as you know.
On both iDevices, ensure that both are logged into the same iCloud account within Settings App. Make sure PhotoStream is ON.
That literally is all there is too it to get images syncing between devices.
On your MacBook, you can also stream photos to computer - again, open the iCloud App in Sys Prefs, login with same AppleID.
You can also manually upload images to the PhotoStream (from Mac) - are you doing this also? Maybe getting confused here? -
My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7). What can I do?
At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further. As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them. Just make sure first that they are in your photo software. If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway. So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update. -
The photos in camera roll are not uploading to my photo stream.
The photos in my camera roll on my iPhone are not uploading to my Photo Stream. Both devices are logged in to the same apple account and both are connected to wifi.
Is your iPhone properly charged? It will not update, if the battery is low, and will not upload, if the camera app is open. So make sure the camera is closed - double click the Home button and swipe the camera preview up to close the app.

Photos in camera roll do not download to photo stream
photos in camera roll do not always download to photo stream on iphone?
Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections. -
Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.
I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection. Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs. -
My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on.
My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream on my iPhone. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on(iCloud).
Not sure if you are referring to photos in the Camera Roll from before you turned Photo Stream on, but just in case you aren't aware, only new photos will go. Following quote is from: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
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. -
On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos.
I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums.
Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? PierreIf you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

How do I add photos from camera roll to "My Photo Stream"
I upgraded to iOS7. Used to be able to select photos -> share -> photostream -> and "My Photo Stream" was an option...
In iOS7 i can not figure out how to do this. when I go to share -> icloud -> it shows other shared photo streams, but it does not show My Photo Stream as an option. If i try to add to album, i see My Photo Stream, but it's grey'ed out as a non option to click on?
"My Photo Stream" is hooked up to my apple TV, and this was how I added photos from shared streams of other family memebers to it.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.
