Selected 'wallpaper' appears in Camera Roll

I have selected a particular image as my 'wallpaper' from the ones provided in my iPhone 3G. After syncing with my computer, that image appears in Camera Roll on my 'phone. How? Why?
Shoukd it be doing that? It means that there is a danger that if I sync photos, the wallpaper image will be synced to iPhoto, and the next time back to the iPhone. Before I realized what was happening, I ended up with 5 copies of the wallpaper image in the Albums on the 'phone.
I should be grateful to be told (a) why this is happening, and (b) how to stop it (other than by deleting the image from the 'phone before each sync operation).

I have made a discovery concerning this bizarre phenomenon. It has nothing to do with syncing.
I keep my 'phone in a soft, felt-like Apple pouch. If I withdraw it only just enough to allow me to switch on the 'phone by means of the on-off button at the top (not the Home button at the bottom), the 'phone sometimes photographs its own startup screen — wallpaper, time, date and all. I have not been able to discover why it does this sometimes but not always, nor why it does it at all, though it may have something to do with the pressure exerted by the thumb of my left hand (holding the 'phone in its pouch) as I press the on-off button with my right hand. So the syncing mystery has dissolved, only to be replaced by another.
I now know how to prevent my album from filling up with unwanted replicas of the startup screen, but I should still be interested to learn what the reason for this strange behaviour is.

Can't select any photos in camera roll or photo album... help!

I have a iphone 3Gs on 4.2.1
If I go to my camera roll or any photo album, I can enter but if I select an image in the camera roll or photo album it just automatically closes and goes back to the home screen. Hard reboot, reboot is still the same.
Any suggestions as to the cause?
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

IOS 8.2: New photos don't appear in camera roll

Hello,
I am using the latest iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. Very often new photos don't appear in the camera roll. As if they were never taken!
Funniest thing is: in the camera app I can see the last picture in the bottom left but when I click it the camera roll shows me the photo taken before that (so it doesn't show me the one which is shown as a small preview in the camera live view).
Any way to clean up this mess? I tried resetting the phone and restoring an iTunes backup w/o success. Thanks!!!
Cheers Argentinos

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

Have taken photos that are not appearing on camera roll?

When I press on photo icon on my phone I can see the last photo I took but when I press on camera roll the photo is not there??? Have deleted some to make room but it makes no difference.
Have also restarted phone!
Help....please

You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
Any ideas/advice?

Thanks for your comments.
I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up. I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

Camera roll photos from new camera not showing in Apps

I got a new camera for Christmas which can transfer photos to my iPad via SamsungSmartCameraApp. This works ok, the photos show up in the Photos app, but they don't show up in other apps.
Eg. When I go to select photos to edit in Aviary, I can see all my other pictures, but not the ones transferred from my camera. It's the same in Facebook.
I have posted some of the photos to Facebook from Photos, but still couldn't select them from my camera roll in Facebook.
What's the problem, and how do I fix it?
I've tried editing the photos, thinking that might resave them as something normal, but no luck. I don't know what else to try.
I have an iPad mini, 12.7 GB, iOS 8.1.2. I can't find what version of Photos I have, but everything seems up to date. The camera is a Samsung WB200F.
Thanks for any advice you can offer

Providing it is the same app, you can download it again without being charged. It does not matter what price you paid (even if the app was free) - even if the app is no longer free this will be a free download.
To ensure it is the same app, go to (on your computer):
iTunes Store > Account > Purchase History
It's also possible that the app does not appear under the Apps tab if that app is not compatible with your iOS version.

Restore photos to camera roll with fresh install?

I was trying to free up memory by compressing videos (using Shrinker app on the iPhone) and deleting the originals, but deleting videos wasn't reducing the memory used by Photos & Camera (as viewed by Settings-->General-->Manage Storage). I had backed up in iTunes and manually copied the contents of the iPhone via Windows Explorer in Windows7 (Computer\myname's iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM). From looking at the DCIM folder I could see that I had reduced the Photos & Videos from around 6 GB to under 3GB, but the iPhone & iTunes were still showing the Photos & Videos at around 6GB. I tried restoring from backup in iTunes, but that didn't fix the problem. So then I decided to restore the iphone and start from scratch.
My question: is there a way to add my backed-up photos&videos to the camera roll, vs. syncing them? If I sync them from a folder on my computer, iOS treats them differently and I can't edit or delete them from the iPhone. Or do I need to just restore back to my original state and try to solve the original problem? Thanks!

Pictures are never imported to Camera Roll. Camera Roll is only for temporary storage of pictures taken with the device.
Once the pictures have been copied off the device they can be synced back via iTunes but they will never appear in Camera Roll, they appear in folders instead.

Pictures taken with the instant camera short cut on the iPod touch 4G do not show up in the camera roll

My girlfriend has an iPod touch 4G. She recently installed iOS 5 and is now having problems with the camera. When she takes a picture after launching the camera from the lock screen, the photo never appears in her camera roll. The photo appears in camera roll preview, but not in the camera roll itself. Anyone else having this problem or know of any fixes?
UPDATE: My iPhone 3GS appears to do the same thing.

How do I move photos from my camera roll to my photostream on the iPod Touch

I turned off the photostream because I didn't like that when I would delete a photo I'd have to delete it from two seprate places. But now syncing my photos to my computer is a huge pain since I don't use a Mac. So I figured photostream was my best bet since it syncs into a nice folder automatically on my computer.
When I turned photostream back on it didn't include any pictures from my camera roll that I took after I had initially turned photostream off.
It doesn't give me the option to select them from my camera roll and copy them to the photostream. Please tell me there's a way to do this?

See:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Also, this

Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

How do I place photos in a "sub album" and delete original from camera roll while keeping the copy in the sub album?

I'm able to create as many albums as I want under the main camera roll. from what I can see, I can add photos from my camera roll to an album but the two images are connected. so what happens is when I try to create albums according to event or subject, if I wanted to delete the original from the camera roll, it also deletes the copied image. What gives? Is there a way to have multiple albums on iphone where images won't be deleted?

No, the actual photos always remain in the camera roll. Albums only contain pointers to selected photos in the camera roll. They are like music playlists. If you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlist that contained it. And you can't keep songs in a playlist that are not in your music library.

Help with importing Camera Roll to iPhoto issue?

Hi
I have a bunch of images on my iPhone (3GS, 5.0) saved from a phone 'wallpaper' app into Camera Roll.
Normally, as soon as I attach my iPhone to my MacPro, iPhoto '11 automatically launches and imports anything which is in Camera Roll.
This is suddenly not happening and I don't understand why (my software is up to date and I can't find anything relevant online).
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hard to say without knowing to what issues you refer.

I have a mobile app that crashes when I call camera roll or camera. Is there a bug in Air 15.0.0.252?

I have some code that I created a couple of years ago and it worked fine but when I use the exact same code with Apache Flex 4.13 and Air 15.0.0.252 when tghe camera roll or camera is invoked the app crashes.
protected function uploadCamera_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (CameraUI.isSupported)
        trace("camera is supported");
        var myCam:CameraUI = new CameraUI();
        myCam.launch(MediaType.IMAGE);
        myCam.addEventListener(MediaEvent.COMPLETE, selectCompleteHandler);
    else
        trace("camera not supported");
        AlertBox.show("Error","Camera not supported on this device.");
//select a picture from the camera roll (gallery)
protected function uploadGallery_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (CameraRoll.supportsBrowseForImage)
        trace("camera roll is supported");
        var roll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();
        roll.browseForImage();
        roll.addEventListener(MediaEvent.SELECT, selectCompleteHandler);
    else
        trace("camera roll not supported");
        AlertBox.show("Error", "Camera roll not supported on this device.");
//when the selection is complete upload it
protected function selectCompleteHandler(event:MediaEvent):void
    trace("event.data.file.url = "+event.data.file.url);
    //statusText.text = "Uploading...";
    takePhotoButton.enabled = galleryPhotoButton.enabled = false;
    var file:String = event.data.file.url;
    var str:String = StringReplaceAll(file, "file://", "");
    str = StringReplaceAll(str, "/", "//");
    trace(str);
    photoURL = str;
    runtimeimg.source = photoURL;
Anyone know why this is happening??
Thanks in advance!
