Save (or Sync) Camera Roll from iPhone to my "My Pictures" on my computer.

I had some issues with the 2.0.1 update and had to restore my iPhone from a different computer. Then I hooked my iPhone backup to my main computer and was going to restore from my backup, however, iTunes immediatly performed a backup of my iPhone (Newly Restored) so I lost my settings.
I have taken a lot of photos on my iPhone and now lost all of them except for the ones I've emailed or sent to MobileMe. I must say that it is a bit of a pain if I have to send each picture to MobileMe one at a time.
Is there a way when I sync my iPhone that it will automatically write the photos on cameral roll to a folder I specify in "My Pictures" on my computer? If not, this should be something that is included in a next update.
Also, I would like the ability to send multiple photos in an email.
Thanks!

This is an issue I've had myself. It is rather irritating that I can sync up other photos from my computer TO my iPhone, but not anything in the Camera Roll folder. Ive read the argument that the phone is being treated as a digital camera in this case and that adding functionality to a program isn't all that easy, but I really don't buy either of these arguments in this case.
For one thing, iTunes already knows how to sync jpeg photos between my computer and my PC. I can put any folder containing jpeg images ONTO my iPhone through the sync mechanism in iTunes. The iPhone is saving the images as jpegs in the Camera Roll folder (I'm extrapolating this by virtue of the fact that when I email an image from Camera Roll, it attaches a jpeg image). By extension, it should just be a matter of making the Camera Roll folder accessible from the Photos sync. Camera data is usually stored in the tags of a file, which shouldn't be lost when transferring files back and forth. And if it is, just give me a little warning and let me choose.
So, as far as I'm concerned, iTunes already knows how to do this. Why is the functionality not included? I am able to use Windows Explorer to copy files like I would from any digital camera, but why should I have to do that when iTunes syncs everything else.

  • Duplicated pictures when sync camera roll from iPhone to iTunes

    Dear all,
    2 issues:
    1. When I sync my iPhone to iTunes and iPhoto opens (if there are pictures on the camera roll not yet imported), the non-imported pictures appear to be duplicated. 
    It is obviously quite annoying as I have to go through and delete the second image manually. Does anyone know how to sort this? I don't have HDR switched on. I have tried un-clicking sync iPhone over wifi, syncing and then clicking it back on again and syncing. Both these issues only started when I upgraded to my iPhone 6.
    2. My iPhone refuses to sync over wifi. Occasionally the icon of the iPhone appears in iTunes, but that is very sporadic when it choses to and not. When it appears to be in iTunes I click sync and it says an error message of sync not possible and then the iPhone disappears from iTunes and I have to plug it in with cable.
    I have spent in excess of 12 hours discussing this with various Senior technical support teams members at Apple who display enthusiasm about trying to help me until the point in which they go home for the day and then thy do not bother keeping to their ringback appointment so it all has to start again from scratch with a different person.
    Suggestions made: Replace handset: Done. Try connecting your computer to router via cable: Hilarious, but done. Restore iPhone: Done. Technical data sent to apple: Done, but never got called back at agreed appointment to discuss results.
    So I am throwing this issue out to the community.
    From a very exasperated iPhone 6 user!

    You should be importing these to your computer regulalry as you would from any digital camera.

  • Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone?

    Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone? I purchased the ipad and when I went to set it up I chose restore from iPhone. All the apps transferred and the photos in the stream but not the camera roll. When I restored a new iPhone the camera roll transferred.
    is there a way to get camera roll on ipad?
    Thanks

    Camera Roll photos from an iPhone backup will not be transferred to an iPad. iPhone to iPhone will transfer the Camera Roll, but iPhone to iPad, or iPad to iPhone will not transfer the Camera Roll.

    Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

    If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC.  Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
    Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer.  If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

  • Sync Camera Roll on iPhone with iPhoto

    I have too many pictures on my phone.   With iTunes, I synced them over to iPhoto, all 1023.   I want to delete them in iPhoto as I can see the picture much better and know which ones to delete.  In iTunes, the settings are,  I have Sync all photos from itunes checked and all photos,,,, and include videos checked.
    I delete several pics from iPhoto, sync and they are still on my phone.  I want them to be deleted from my phone and the iPhoto to be exactly what is on my phone and vice versa.
    I must have the concept wrong of what I'm trying to do.
    Thanks for your help

    You do not sync photos from the iPhone to the computer via iTunes and iPhoto. You import photos from the phone to the computer either via iPhoto or other import utility. With the Mac I believe it is some type of capture program.
    When you are clicking on the photo tab in iTunes with the phone selected and sync photos, then you are putting the photos back on the phone, only you are putting them into different albums, not the Camera Roll. I'm guessing that you want to delete pictures from the Camera Roll on the phone. That is usually done by the photo import utility that you are using. You import to the computer and delete from the Camera Roll. Again, I believe this can be done by a single setting in iPhone. See this support document for help with that. iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    If you are syncing the photos, the only way to remove them is also through the sync process. See this support document regarding sync. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    If you do not delete the photos as you import them, then you will need to find a different way to delete them from the phone, possibly through Finder.

  • TS1702 I can not save image to camera roll from google images after I downloaded IOS 6. It keeps saying image save failed.

    After I downloaded IOS 6 on my iphone 4s i went on google images and clicked on a picture. I then tried to save image to my camera roll and was asked do I want to put image in camera roll. I pressed no by mistake and I have not been able to save any images since. I deleted google off of my iphone and reinstalled it
    and it still says image save failed. I can not find an option on the google app to change the setting or on my iphone in settings.

  • 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.

  • How do i save a picture to the camera roll from a text message in ios 7

    I am attempting to save a picture from a text message to my camera roll. However when i hold the picture the options are "copy/More" More gives the options to delete or forward via text message. And if i press copy it only copies it to be pasted. In the past i was given several options to send the pic via email/text/save to camera roll/drop box etc.
    Please advise as to how i can save pictures from my text to the camera roll.
    Thank you!

    If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
    Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.

  • How can i save more than 1 edited photo to my camera roll from my ipad's iphoto

    When I follow the instructions from this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3148?viewlocale=en_US
    I don't get the same results.  Basically, after I tap  the Share button, Camera Roll, and then "Choose" it only lets me choose one photo to save to the camera roll at a time. I even tried tapping the settings (gear) icon first, then tapped "Select Multiple..." then tapping the Share button - but it goes back to only allowing me to tap one thumbnail to share to my camera roll.  I have edited a ton of photos by copying / pasting the color, exposure, and effect settings from one photo to a selection of multiple photos.  It seems strange that I then have to only save one photo to my camera roll at a time.  I'm probably missing something obvious...
    Please enlighten me.
    Thanks!

    iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.
