Photostream problem - some photos went into Photostream, others onto camera roll

I took about 200 photos today and only 12 went into Photostream. The rest ended up on the camera roll. Icloud and photostream are both set on my Iphone 4s, so the settings are correct. These are also the only photos I have taken with the phone, so storage is not the issue.
Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes out there for this?

If you deleted them from photo stream, the only way to get them back in photo stream on your device is to add them to the camera roll as new photos. If you don't need high resolution versions in photo stream, this can be done by simply opening each photo and taking a screenshot. If you do want higher resolution versions in photo stream your options are either to email them to yourself, then save them to your camera roll, or add them to a shared photo stream album.

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

How would a photo be in photostream but not camera roll?

I was just looking through my photostream and found a recently added pic of my friends daughter that I didn't take. Can't figure out how it would be in photostream but not camera roll.

How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device). Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos. However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option. Any ideas on how to do this?

To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

You're going to have to email those photos to yourself.

Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have two albums in my photos app other than the camera roll that i cant seem to get rid of. They contain duplicates of the photos i already have in my camera roll. One is called Photo Library, and the other is called iphone. It's using alot of space and I don't know how to delete them. Please HELP!!

those are photos that have been synced to your phone from your computer. plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, select 'photos' tab from the top, and uncheck 'sync photos'
this will erase the photos from your phone that are not in the camera roll

Printing edited photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll using HP eprint app

I edited and saved photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll. When I use the HP eprint app to print the photos to my HP 5514 Photosmart printer, the edited photo that I select does not show up in the preview, (the original shows up not the saved edited version). I am stumped because in the photo book and on the camera roll the edited version is the only one visible. I don't know what the problem may be. Why is it reverting to the original?

Hi jdanrok,
I did some testing on my iPad and found that after you edit a pic in photos and save it, it will only show the edited version. However, if you go to edit the "edited" photo, you can "Revert to Original", which means it is not really saving the "edited" version, it just "remembers" what you have changed.
When you go into the HP ePrint app, it is only seeing the original, and not the "edited" version.
If you are printing over local wifi (using Airprint) you can actually print the "edited" photo directly from the Photos App by touching the arrow towards the top of the screen and choosing Print.
If you are wanting to use the ePrint app, and you are not on your local wifi (through ePrint), you can email the "edited" photo, save the "edited" photo from the email and it will be just the "edited" version. The old psuedo "edited" version will still be there also.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

How to copy photos/videos back to iPhone's Camera Roll?

Genius bar told me to reset my 3GS to try solving an unrelated problem, but they mentioned I should save my photos first. I copied the photos and videos from the Iphone/Internal Storage/DCIM/100Apple directory onto my PC's hard drive.
However, after I reset the iphone, I found that I cannot copy the files back into the iPhone's /100Apple directory. What gives? The device/folder is not listed as read-only, but I'm still not allowed to copy the photos back.
I should note that I am not interested in syncing the photos as an album through itunes, I want the iphone photos and videos back in the Camera Roll. Is there a way to do this?

A reset is just holding the power and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and ignoring the slide to power off screen. This is mearly a reboot like a computer. A restore wipes the phone, reinstalls the OS and the native apps. If you restore from a backup, it then takes the backup it made of the phone and resinstalls all of that data. If you restore as a new phone, all it does is reinstall the OS and native apps and the phone is like it was when you bought it, except it will have the latest OS if there has been a change since you bought it. Many times, if someone has some type of problem with the phone,it can be traced back to corruption in a file, and restoring from a backup will just restore the corrupted file. Restoring as new allows to start fresh.
As I mentioned earlier, leaving photos in the camera roll can be dangerous as you run the risk of losing them, as you have seen. The ability to copy items into the camera roll folder is like copying material into the OS, and Apple has not allowed that in the past. That is why they designed the syncing of pictures to the photo library. Another issue that has cropped up lately is the fact that some pictures saved from the Internet, MMS or email into the camera roll has caused some issues with the iPhone being recognized by the computer as having pictures on it. It becomes necessary to delete those photos to enable photo importing again. Something else to be mindful of until they fix it. Just a good idea to import the photos so you have them in case of a failure on the phone.

Why aren't photos in iPhoto photo library showing up in iPhoto camera roll?

Hi,
I downloaded all the photos on my Camera Roll on my iPhone into my AirBook computer because when I went to take a photo today with my iPhone it told me I had no space left. But, now there are 300 photos in Photo Library that never showed up in Camera Roll and I can't download into my AirBook. Those photos are just sitting in Photo Library in my phone. How do I download them into my AirBook AND why did they not show up in the Camera Roll on my iPhone?
Thanks!
Caitlin

The photos are likely already on your MacBook Air in the iPhoto app there, which I assume you probably have.
iPhoto on your Mac houses the photo library.
Photos do not transfer to the Camera Roll on your iPhone (with very few exceptions). They get transferred from the Camera Roll to your photo library. You can then clean them off the Camera Roll.
When you sync the iPhone using iTunes, you can instruct iTunes how to sync your photos. If, for example, you do not want all the photos in the photo library on your iPhone, that is how to keep them on your computer but not your iPhone.

My iPhone 4s keeps showing more space being used for photos than i have - i have deleted cache folders, unselect and reselect in iTunes and nothing appears to work my iPhone still shows 6.5 gig use of photos when i only have the camera roll listed

my iPhone 4s keeps showing more space being used for photos than i have -
i have deleted cache folders, unselect and reselect in iTunes I read one post
where they said keep syncing and in a couple days it would correct itself, that
hasnt happened. I have see others have the same issue but no solution and nothing

I have a photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!

I have the same photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!

The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it

Is it possible to put photos back onto Camera Roll.

This will sound silly but I updated my phone yesterday and was having trouble syncing with my pc. So i took all the Photos from the camera roll and saved them on my desktop. However, upon updating I have noticed 2 things :
I now have seperate folders for the camera roll on DCIM (They are grouped into years it would seem) when i open my phone on autoplay.
and secondly.
I cannot add photos to the camera roll. I had 1800 pictures from all over the world which I liked having on there due to the places icon in Photos.
Is there anyway of adding these photos back onto the camera roll, or am I going to have to suck it up and chalk it down to experience.
Thanks in advance.

I had this question too, but I didn't want to compromise. After hours of research: Dropbox
I have been putting pictures onto my laptop from my phone because I kept on filling up my iCould backup because I only had 5 GB of storage. I recently upgraded to 50 GB of storage. So now I am painfully putting every picture into camera roll.
I personally I am doing this on a 10.8.1 Macbook Pro running a quad 2.6 i7 w/ 8GB of RAM if anyone is curious.
First click on Finder, click on Pictures, select the pictures you want by drawing a box over the pictures you want to save to Dropbox and then right-click over the selected items and click on Copy X Items
Next click on the Dropbox select the folder you want to save the pictures to, right click in an empty space and select Paste X Item
Wait until you see green check marks like in the screen shot above to ensure the pictures are uploaded. Then go to your iPhone. In this case an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1. I am going to assume you know how to search for and install an app, so go and get Dropbox from the App Store
Go ahead and choose a picture go ahead and save it. Now keep on repeating until the job is done. Here is what one picture save looks like.
I know it says photo library, but here is my Camera Roll with pictures that I saved using Dropbox. I edited outit all the faces.

How to copy images from iphone folders other than camera roll?
Images in these folders are synced to iPhone from different laptop and I need to download them in my laptop. I am able to download and access only those pics which are present in Camera Roll folder.Remaining pics are in different folder and also appearing in Photo Library from all folders.
Same problem is with iPod touch as well.

- Via a computer program like PhoneView or Touch Copy
- By using an app like Photo Transfer
