Photo options on iPhone - question
What is the difference in the Camera Roll, Photo Library, and iStream? I'm confused how to best manage photos taken on my iPhone between all these.
Apple sells the Camera Connection Kit. It has two plug-in adapters. One that lets you connect a digital camera to the iPhone with a USB cable. There is also a memory card reader that can read the SD-style memory card from a digital camera.

EDIT - I did some quick research and I need to correct what I have stated. You cannot transfer photos from a camera to the iPhone with the Apple CCK. You can only transfer photos to an iPad with the kit. But you can use the CCK to transfer photos from the iPhone to an iPad with the usb cable.

The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out) after I load the Icloud download. My Ipad and iphone are sharing my photo stream photos but cannot get to my computer. I read all the instructions and reloaded Cloud 2 x but again will not activate the photo sharing piece.
I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
thank youIf you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup. -
I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.
Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder. -
I synced my phone to my computer to get all my photos from my iphone to my computer and it put ALL my pictures from my computer onto my phone... how do I get them off? theres no delete option available on the phone
Do you mean to import photos from iphone to computer? Is this what your doing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Looks like your syncing pics on your computer to your phone. to remove it when your phone is sync to itunes, uncheck sync in the photos tab. -
How do I get iCloud on my iMac to photo stream the photos taken from my iPhone? i have signed into iCloud on the iMac yet the check options for photos isn't highlighted where i can check it??? i am operating on Maverics OS X 10.9.4???
First, only the photos after the option is set for Photo Stream to work.
iPhone:
Settings > iCloud > Photos: ON > My Photo Stream: ON
Mac:
> System Preferences... > iCloud > Photos Options... > My Photo Stream.
iPhoto > Preferences... > iCloud > My Photo Stream -
I am trying to download my photos from my iphone to my computer, but the computer does not show the device or give me the option to import.
Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer. -
I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.
I have a suggestion, noted below, but I'd like a little more information please. Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone? If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad. I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad. The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame. To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want. After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way. I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync. It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper. It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do. After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them. There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone. I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
Good luck. -
How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?
It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad. -
"PHOTOS" option does not appear in my interface. Do have Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps and Radio. Photo doesn't appear on iPhone or iPod Nano
Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

In the itunes menu on your computer click on View and then click on show sidebar. You should now see your phone in the left, select the phone then over on the right you will see all the tab including PHOTO
