PC User / IPHONE Accessing Camera Roll

I am a pc user that has ITUNES and Mobile Me. I have alot of photos on my phone and I always like to save a copy of all photos on my external hard drive. I cannot figure out how to access these photos to save a copy to my external hard drive. Does anyone know how to access these photos?

When you plug your iPhone into the computer, if you have photos in the camera roll, Vista should recognize the iPhone like it would a digital camera and auto play should start the camera and scanner wizard. Also, if you open Computer, you should be able to see the iPhone in the device list.
The scanner and camera wizard will allow you to import the photos to the computer, and from there you can put them anywhere you want.
Keeping a large number of photos in the camera roll is not a good idea. These photos should be imported to the PC as soon as possible so if anything was to happen to the phone, you would not risk losing these photos. Also, large numbers of photos in the camera roll can increase the amount of time necessary for the backup in iTunes, since they are part of the backup. When you want to save pictures to the phone, they should be synced to the photo library through iTunes.

How to transfer a few selected pictures I need from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder

How to transfer a few selected pictures from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to my PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder. Thanks

You do understand though, that if something happened to your phone - if you lost it, if it were stolen, if you dropped it and were unable to access it, if it got wet - all those pictures that you had not transferred to your computer would no longer be so "handy." Just saying, I have not only read that horror story from many users on this forum, but have seen it live from many users in my own life. Do yourself a favor and back them up sooner rather than later by transferring them all now. Trust me on this, you won't regret it.

Problems in accessing Camera Roll images using HTML 5 technology

Hello,
I have developed a application using HTML 5 technology. This application is supportable to iPhone 4S. In this application, if we try to upload an image from "Camera Roll" it's not returning properly. The result image is rotated, squeezed and in different format. But this is working perfectly if we upload the image from other folders like Photo Stream.
No idea why the images from Camera Roll is not returning in proper format.
Your help and support is much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Abdul
I've looked at your app and really like the way it accesses Camera Roll - I would be interested in learning more about this project - is there any way I can get in touch with you? Do you have another web site ?

My iPad mini, can only access camera roll photos. When posting on facebook. I can not access shared photos from my apple devices.

problem with iPad mini and iPhone 5c and Facebook app. I can only access camera roll, when posting photos, I can not see shared photos. Which I could before the previous 3 updates. I did speak to Apple support but they said Facebook was behind. i think over 6 months later I still have the same problem!

Thank you. Do you have any idea about the 5c, which is only 2 weeks old. Before this I had an iPhone 4, and you could choose which collection you wanted to post from,
but my 5c is also only showing camera roll, pehich is rather annoying to say the least!

You can't.

Whatsapp can only access camera roll

Why is Whatsapp only able to access camera roll and not other albums?

Seemingly a Whatsapp issue, that you can work around copying your photo in the Photos app then pasting in Whatsapp.

Cant access camera roll

after picking a picture in camera roll and txting it...I can not access camera roll again because the topof the phone where it says "albums" comes up lower - thereby covering the camera roll. I can see it, since the "album" is see through, but I can not access it. The only way it fixes itself is if I reboot the phone every time.

Seems to be a known bug in the firmware, until it will be solved in a future update, you can also bring up the Multitask bar, tap on the photo app until it shakes and hit the little "minus" icon to close the app. After that it should be working again without having to the reset the device.

"Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG. Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
A new issue has surfaced. When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile. So far, so good. But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll. This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
Cheers,
Jeff

The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud. The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
That makes sense. I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

How do I remove all photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

How do I remove all 4000 photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this if you use iPhoto for photo management on your Mac. If not, you can use the Image Capture application for the import. Both include an option to delete all photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

Cant access camera roll under ALBUMS

When looking under Albums I see the Camera Roll heading under Album Title Bar in the background but cannot access it. I can only access the few pictures in the Photo Library or other albums. TO get to the camera roll now I must go to the actual camera.
Something has happened. Anyone know how to fix this back to normal?
have version 10.2.1 3gs

I had a problem too with iphone 4 and version 4.3. Here is the camera Roll tucks under the title bar. Only solution so far to reboot and easiest one is to kill the running program i.e. Double click on Home button (when unlocked position) > Hold finger on of the running program at the bottom until you see delete icon (red with white line) > then click on this icon to delete/kill the photo album.
But this seems to be right solution. apple has to fix this...Any ideas?

IOS5 problems accessing Camera Roll photo's

Having recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 I find that I am now unable to access the photo's taken with the iPhone's camera and stored in the Camera Roll Album. When I go to the Albums page the Camera Roll Album is the top one on the list, but it's covered by an "Albums" headline that also has an "edit" button. The Camera Roll Album underneath can be seen but it cannot be accessed, it will not respond to touch. So how can I take a photo with the iPhone then email it if accessing the Album is blocked. Is there a new setting with iOS 5 that I am missing?
Thanks for any help / suggestions.......Peter

I have not had this in iOS5, but this was a problem in iOS4.
At the teim the fix was to close the camera app, and then close it in the multitasking bar:
double tap home button,
hold the photos app icon till it shows the cross in corner,
tap the cross.
Then restart the photos app.
If that doesn't work you may need to do a full retsore of the iPhone.

IPhone Wallpaper/Camera Roll

A "randomize" option would be really awesome to have for the Wallpaper and Camera roll, so each time an iPhone user would wake the phone from sleep mode, a new Wallpaper would show up.
Sounds insignificant, but with the right pool of wallpaper, one can really customize their phone wallpaper to their specific taste.
It'd be refreshing to see.

Thankyou, but I have the iOS 7.1 and it doesnt let you scale to fit.

Cant access "camera roll" album after upgrade to 4.3.3

iPhone 3GS, recent update to v 4.3.3 now when I go in to Photos the "Camera Roll" album is hidden under the "Albums" heading at the top of the screen and I can't tap it to open it. Can see and access 3 other albums. Was fine before this upgrade. Any suggestions?

This has happened to a lot of people. Double-click the home button to reveal the recent apps bar. Find the icon for Photos and tap and hold it until it wiggles and tap the red circle to force quit the app. Press the home button once when you are finished. Open the Photo app again and you should be able to access the camera roll.
Hopefully, the next upgrade will fix this.

How do I transfer my whole iPhone 4 Camera Roll to Win7 run PC?

How do I transfer the whole (not just the new photos, but the whole) of my camera roll on my iPhone 4 (using the latest software) to my (Win7) PC? I've done this before by simply going Computer > Josh's iPhone > Internal Storage > DCIM. Then at will I'd select and distribute my photos. However within the DCIM folder there are nine folders all with names such as 823WGTMA, 842GGLUF and 965YOKDJ.
Initially I thought it'd be a bit of hasstle having to go into each individual folder, selecting the photos, then copying them; but still do-able! Unfortunately upon trying to copy all the photos in the nine different folders to one folder (named Full Camera Roll) an error message came up saying Two Files Have The Same Name, or something to that effect, with only two options, Copy and Replace, or Don't Copy at all. No sign of Copy and keep Both. Now if it were just a few photos I would normally just edit each name manually, but I'm talking about moving several thousand photos!
In short, is there any way of transferring the whole camera roll without renaming each individual photo, and without gong to several different folders to get at them? If you did take the time to read this, thank you, and thank you if you take the time to offer any help!

I think you have dup names because the OS has started recycling the names. There is a limit to how far it can go before that happens. Take a look at the first and last folders on your phone and see if the numbers begin again. If that's the case, you can copy the contents of all the folders except one of the ones containing the dupes to a single folder on your PC, but then you will have to copy any files with dup names into a different folder and rename them there before copying into your new single folder. Here are instructions for doing that on Win 7:
