Photos disappear from camera roll

After taking photos & videos i can view them on Camera Roll.
However, when I next open camera roll they have all disappeared.
This only started happening 5 weeks ago.
Earlier photos are still on Camera Roll.
This is very frustrating.
Any ideas out there?

Photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album are included in both the iCloud and iTunes backup. Restoring from those backups will restore the Camera Roll album

Photos disappeared from camera roll

I just got a new iPhone 4S while we were out of town, away from home - I shot a number of photos with the iPhone, and kept them on the phone in Camera Roll.
When we returned to our home, we set up iCloud, connected to the computer, restored the new iPhone 4S using the backup of my previous iPhone, so that all my settings and apps and stuff would be as I wanted them.
Now, the photos I shot over the weekend are nowhere to be seen.
WHERE ARE THEY?
What happened?
And why?

I had the same problem with my iphone 4s. went through these steps and it fixed it.
the photos aren't deleted from your phone... it's just the photo database file is corrupt. going through the steps on this page, using the free iexplorer app they link to, you can get the photos off the phone, then delete the database file (Photos.sqlite), restart your phone, open the photos app, wait a minute or two as it rebuilds the database, then all your photos will show up again and you should be able to sync normally and download the photos. best of luck!

My photos taken about a week ago disappeared from camerA roll... :o

Hi... I have ipad min ios 7.0.1
Some of my photos taken about 5 days age have been disappeared from camera roll... They,ve been there about two hours ago...
What can i do?

The standard procedure with these types of isues is a PRAM reset.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

There is nothing wrong with Photostream. The "problem" is likely in the way you are using it.
In order for photos to be moved into Photostream, two things must happen. (1) you have to be connected to Wifi, and (2) you have to exit the Camera app. Unless both of those things happen, the photos will not be transferred to Photostream.
So, shut down your camera app, and connect to Wifi. Wait a while, and the photos you took with your iPhone should be transferred.

Can't send photos directly from camera roll to whatapps

Ive to go to whatapps and select the photos from camera roll to send?

One never knows.
Apple can disappoint and surprise all at the same time.
The best thing we can all do is to send feedback.

Photos missing from Camera Roll but but not from Whatsapp

This is some weird situation here. I got my new iphone (6). Old one was 4s. I backuped to my computer, then restored from backup for new iphone. But last 10-12 photos are missing from camera roll but when i try to send a photo to one of my whatsapp contacts i can see those photos there. Dont know what to do to bring them back. Help please

I also have the same problem. I upgraded a 3G to 4 iOS and lost one of 2 camera rolls. I've searched for the answers too and got next to nothing! I searched apple's support website using the iPhone as the device and used the key words: "iphone upgrade 4 lost photos" and got information on a mac laptop! I got more info by Googling the same key words but still no fix. So I called apple and after a few meager attempts I was told "Sorry they are lost". I asked about a fix coming out and was told they "are still examining the problem, to see if anything can even be done about it." Maybe it’s my fault for thinking any man made device could be dependable... I would give up my iPhone now and forever to retrieve those photos. They were mostly of my children, ages 3 and 5, taken over the last 2 years... starting in the AT&T store, the day I bought my iPhone.

What is the best way to delete photos selectively from camera roll.

I have thousands of photos on my camera roll. I do know you can select individual photos to delete off the roll and you can select more than one at a time but is there a better way? I keep hoping there would be a way to select groups of photos from my camera roll while my phone is connected to my macbook pro through iphoto. I was told you are only able to delete photos on your phone via your phone basically one at a time.

I import the photos from my iphone onto my macbook pro but I like having many of them on my phone to share at will etc.. I'm not sure how image capture will help me to delete many photos at one time quickly off my phone as opposed to the only way I know which is to select each photo, selecting as many as I like on the phone itself and deleting. It just seems one could do this via the macbook pro with the phone attached much easier.

Move photo's from camera roll to photo stream

I am confused. I have a number of photo's in Camera Roll. They apparantly do not back up to iCloud as part of Photo Stream. Is there a way to move them from Camera Roll to Photo Stream so they will be available to my other devices, or do I have to manually copy them to my desktop to make them available? If the latter, what is the best process for this?

Only photos taken on your phone after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. It will not transfer photos that were in Camera Roll before turning it on. If you want full resolution pictures to be available for your old photos, import them to your computer and put them in your upload folder (assuming your computer has iCloud an Photo Stream enabled). Also, Photo Stream isn't a backup service; photos are only kept there for 30 days allowing your enough time to download them to your other devices.
I have images/videos which I saved from Messages. Even with Photo Stream enabled, it does not appear possible to move anything from Camera Roll. Once there, it appears to be stuck there.

Work around: first view the pic on your camera roll, then snapshot it by using home and sleep button at same time. Your pic is at photo stream now
Two problems with that are that the images are not captured at their original resolution. Also, this does absolutely no good for videos which are saved from Messsages.

HT201317 Will photos deleted from camera roll be deleted in photo stream?

There is so many contradicting answers online! I just want to take more photos and keep the ones I have. So, if I delete my camera roll, with the photo stream "backed-up" w/ iCloud, will the photos in photo stream be untouched?

I found that in my iphone 5 recently upgrade to iOS 8.1, I found that the photo in camera roll deleted, the same photo in photo stream will delete along. How to only delete photo in either camera roll or photo stream without delete once for both camera roll or photo stream ?

Photos have disappeared from camera roll

my mom got home after a trip and tried to sync her iphone because of a problem she had when my sister deleted some contacts from her phone and icloud deleted from my mom's iphone automaticly during its sync apperently the laptop shut down and when she sync again all the photos from the camera roll had disapearred. i have already tried to find the photos on the cumputer but i've got nothing. are the photos deleted forever? i dont think she has a previous back up for anything since she never syncs her iphone. there is anything i can do to retrieve the lost photos?

John
If she has a recent icloud back-up the camera roll is also saved to that back-up. Normally iCloud backs-up everyday and will offer you the last three back-ups to choose from.
If the time frame is correct then you might want to try an iCloud restore from back-up.

And not to nag... but photos must be backed up on a computer. It's very easy to do.

Photos missing from camera roll

About two months worth of photos are missing from my camera roll. Don't know when this happened, only noticed it recently. I would have thought they were backed up to the iCloud as I have back up on, but have no idea why they aren't reappearing in my phone if they are. Any idea how I find out where they have disappeared to?

Yes, new backups will overwrite old ones. Backing up to iCloud is a backup. to be used for disaster recovery. It is NOT permanent storage for photos. Likewise, photo stream is NOT permenent storage. You need to be extracting the photos to your computer like you would from any other digital camera and storing them someplace safe.

Photos missing from camera roll after iphone replaced at genius bar

My power button broke so my iphone needed replaced. After the genius bar replaced it I got home an now photos are missing. It shows over 400 pics through the settings app; however the camera roll only has 150 ish. (these i downloaded out of my messages).

You can restore your iPhone to the way it was at the last backup you did (on iTunes or iCloud).
To do that, you would erase your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
... and then set it up using the backup.
The backup preserved the Camera Roll as it was when you created the backup.

Images disappearing from Camera Roll?

I have recently bought an Iphone 4 and immediately upgraded to iOS 4.02. The other day I discovered that all of a sudden I can not see any of the pictures taken with the camera. In the Camera Roll I see the thumbnails. When I try to see the pictures I only get a black screen. For the two videos I recorded I have a similar problem, I see the thumbnails but it says "The video can not be played". I have not synced any of the pictures in iTunes, just music. I tried to restart the iPhone, did not help. I tried to sync the iPhone and then restart and connect again, problem remains. Please help!

You've stumbled across another publishing bug in iWeb 1.1 & 1.1.1. When you publish a page with images that go to the "Images" folder, other pages that have images in this folder will have their images removed. Images only seem to go missing on pages that are NOT published during an editing session, so a "publish all" is a workaround. Also, if you edit a pictures within iWeb, it seems to create an "edited" copy that gets placed in Page_files folder for the page, also working around the proglem. I can't figure out why it places only certain (non-edited?) files in the Images folder, perhaps it is trying to do some images sharing across the pages.

My photos will not load on the iPhone. Both directly accessing 'Photos' and from 'Camera roll' results in applications shutting down by itself and returning to home screen

Help please

Ighnot, are you jailbroken? Cause I am and I have the same problem except worse. I can't save a single pic, every single time I get the thumbnail grey box with jpg in it and the actual pic is black. Only way I get pic is by zooming in then taking screenshot and I still get the stupid safari toolbox and address bar in the pic
