Sorting then deleting photos from camera roll - lost all my photos

I Obviously have done something stupid.  I have an iPad 2 and don't use it a heap for photos but today I sorted out the photos I had on the roll into albums then deleated them off the roll.  Now all the albums are empty and it seems I've lost everything!!!   How do I get the shots back?  Is there a way and why did this happen?  Thanks.

No - I don't..   I had different photos on my phone to my ipad and I back up the phone with itunes but i've never backed up the ipad.  I guess they are gone then????

  • Deleting pictures from camera roll and photo stream but not from other folders

    Hey everyone,
    I am new to I phone and using iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2.
    I like to keep my photo folder organised and sorted. For example I created different folders on my iPhone for wallpapers, my personal pics and work pics.
    Now after adding all these pics to their respective folders i deleted them from Camera roll and my photo stream ( thinking that they would still be in their folders) and now I am screwed, because everything is deleted  .
    Thankfully, I have the backup, but please can anyone help me to understand the difference between camera roll and my photo stream and how could i keep all my pics in different folders and just not in camera roll or my photo stream.

    The way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
    I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
    The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer.

  • 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

  • Why will my iphone 5 not delete pictures from camera roll.

    Why will my iphone 5 not delete pictures from camera roll. It comes up with the edit sign but no delete?

    You have to tap Edit, then tap at least one photo before you get the delete button.

  • Why are photos deleting from Photo Stream when I delete them from Camera Roll?

    Since the 8.1 update, anytime I delete a photo from my camera roll it also automatically deletes from my photo stream. Before it would stay in photo stream until I deleted it from there (I do that after importing it to Mac). Now I have to keep it in my camera roll or lose it, this defeats the purpose of having the photo stream for me. I've seen others with this issue but no fixes. Anyone?

    They just made this feature useless with this issue. Why would I need those 2 albums if everytime I delete a pic from Camera Roll, it gets deleted on the other one.

  • Is there any way I can recover deleted pictures from Camera Roll and iCloud? Please please help me. All of my precious pictures are gone that I can never EVER get back. I dont have any iCloud or Camera Roll backup; and my PC can't download more software.

    Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.

    Please please help me, if you know how.

  • How to I delete pictures from camera roll but not album on ipad

    I am trying to delete pictures from my camera roll without having to delete them pictures from the album..  The reason for this is I have organised my pictures into albums on iPad and therefore would like to delete from camera roll however when I attempt to do this it says it will delete from album as well. Is there any way round this. Thanks.

    No there isn't. The original photo is being stored in the camera roll and the copy of the photo is in the album. If you remove the photo from the camera roll, you will delete it from any albums that it might be in as well.
    With the benefit of an edit - my comments are with regard to trying to this on the device itself.

  • 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.

  • I have a MBP with Parallels. I deleted Firefox from OSX and lost all bookmarks. Is there a way to retrive them?

    I have a MBP with Lion as well as Parallels and Windows 7. In Lion, I completely uninstalled Firefox using "Clean My Mac." Don't ask me why:( Understandably, my bookmarks are gone.
    Are they hidden anywhere they can be retrieved? I have been trying to fix this for three days using all your suggestions but just do not have the savvy to do it alone.
    Help!!

    Thanks Edmeister. I was able to reach from OSX to Windows 7 to locate and 'Restore' to a bookmark backup file from the Firefox resident to Windows. In fact, I see a list of old dates that are prior to my deleting Firefox from OSX. But none of them changed any of the current bookmarks in OSX Firefox. I then Restored Firefox on the Windows side but it didn't give me any new bookmarks. I was under the impression (incorrectly) that both sides might have the same bookmarks. Wrong answer.
    When going into Time Machine, there is also no luck because the Firefox file does not exist in Application Support, so there is nothing to pull from there.
    Sounds like it's game over.

  • 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.

  • Managing photos on iPhone and iPad - deleting from camera roll

    I have a iPhone 4s and an iPad Air, but no laptop or desk top. All my photos are currently saved on my phone and I need to clear space. Is it possible to delete photos from camera roll but still have them permanently saved in another album or on iCloud? Deleting them from camera roll, on iPhone or iPad, seems to delete them from everywhere.

    When you delete a photo from the camera roll it is deleted from any albums that contain it.  This is because the albums don't contain actual photos; they only contain links to the photo in the camera roll.  When the cameral roll photo is deleted, the link to it is removed form any albums as well.
    Also, photos only remain in my photo stream for 30 days, and if you delete a photo stream photo from your device it is also deleted from iCoud and all other devices.
    Photos added to a shared stream will remain in iCloud indefinitely, the will be at a lower resolution than the original.  And the shared stream album will also remain on your phone.
    For all these reasons, you can really use iCloud to archive your photos and free up space on your device.  Instead, import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you want to be able to still view them, get a Flikr account (or similar) so you can view them as a gallery from the web.

  • My home computer had a virus and was reset. My photos were loaded from my adobe photoshop software. My computer will now only load from my camera roll and all my other photos are trapped on my 4g touch. Can anybody help?

    When I plug in my ipod I can only get pics from my camera roll. Its like the other pics are not even there. I am afraid if I sync it to my computer I will erase all these picture. There are over 2500 pics of my family and kids. I loaded them from my Adobe photoshop 5 software.

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • I deleted some videos from camera roll but they still appear in the videos folder

    I removed some videos from my 4s to my computer but they still appear in a file called videos on my phone.  The file Videos doesn't show up on my computer when I plug my phone in to the USB.  How can I see this file on my computer when my phone is plugged in?

    The "Photos section" within the Photos app is just a view of your Photo Stream, organized by dates and locations.  You can see the exact same content by looking at "My Photo Stream" within the Albums section of the Photos app.
    So, deleting things from Camera Roll will have no effect on Photo Stream nor the "Photos" section of the app, except for pictures in Camera Roll which may not have been uploaded to Photo Stream yet.

  • How do I copy photos from Camera Roll to personal photo album? iPhone 4 and pc

    I have an iPhone 4 and use pc....
    I want to copy a few pics from Camera Roll to my personal album. I'd like to copy them and then remove them from Camera roll. Then, I'd like to be able to organize folders in my personal album so I don't have to look through all 500 pics to find what I'm looking for. The pictures on my pc are in folders but they all get put together in one folder on the phone. I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance.  Ü

    This forum is broken into lots of different categories for all the various applications and devices that Apple makes.
    You've posted a Question about the iPhone and Windows.
    But this is the iPhoto forum - and iPhoto is an app that runs on neither the iPhone nor Windows.
    So, click on the link above and ask your question there. That's where it needs to be asked so you can get help.
