Strange Photos appearing in the iPhone camera roll

This has happened twice. Four pictures of hand drawn games like Hangman and Tic Tac Toe show up on the camera roll on the iPhone. And not right after a sync. Don't think I can post one here but I can send them to anyone who asks. Is this a virus?

Do you have an app that provides for hand drawn pictures on your iPhone? Do you use MMS?
There are no viruses in iOS4, but 4.0 and 4.0.1 have a "PDF exploit" that theoretically make it vulnerable to malware. (Do you understand the difference between malware and viruses?) So far, the only example of this is a jailbreaking technique. The exploit was patched with 4.0.2 (and 4.1)
OTOH, if your phone is jailbroken, it not only has the PDF hole, but is vulnerable to other attacks, and who knows what's in your phone.

  • HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

    I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

    Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

  • Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one?  I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

    Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly.  Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

    *correction*
    Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

  • There are photos on my iPhone camera roll that aren't mine. Has my security been compromised? How is this possible?

    Hi guys,
    In the last week two photographs have appeared on my iPhone camera roll and the subsequently my photo stream, of which I have not taken or anyone else could not have possibly taken with my phone. The latest one, found this evening as my most recent photo, is of a man on an aeroplane.
    I'm a bit spooked here for a couple of reasons:
    1. Have I been hacked and the photos are the least of my worries?
    2. Can this person/persons see my photographs?
    I've used iPhoto on my mac to check the location of the photographs taken using the info facility; unfortunately the location is deemed 'unknown'.
    I would love anyone's take on this and would appreciate someone from apple responding to this issue directly as it's clearly a potentially huge problem for iOS and mac users.
    I've already taken the measure of changing my iCloud password but all the same would like some feedback here.
    Thanks all,

    I write on this topic because I have an almost same incident.
    Back in 2009, and this is important because there was no icloud and photo streams at that time, I found on the camera roll of my iphone 3G photos that do not belong to me!
    I try to clarify this, and everybody reacted as I was crazy or had no idea about computers, phones etc. I wrote in a technology forum and got similar reactions. In fact I am a more than average experienced pc and phone user. I could also guarantee that nobody touched my phone.
    The only explanation I had is that the photos were transferred through a wireless network in a cafe on my phone through some strange leak. But they were indeed not mine.
    There are more than 10 photos of a woman (pretty normal photos, bad quality selfies etc, no naked guys) of a guy making some measurements in an apartment, of an IKEA furtinure (probably for the apartment before) etc. etc. Pretty realistic photos, by no means downloaded from the internet.
    And nothing to do with me!
    I imported some of them in iPhoto and checked the location. Some of them were taken in Munich (where I live), one (of the new apartment) very close to the cafe I was connected and, interestingly, some (the selfies of the woman) in Palo Alto, CA.
    I still do not know what that could be, I still have the photos but unfortunately not the phone anymore.
    I would be more than happy to hear that there was this or the other leak at that time, but still haven't found any convincing answer on the internet.

  • How to delete iPhone camera roll's photos in new version Photos for Mac

    Hi,
    Before upgrade to new version Photos for Mac. I was using iPhoto + Photo Stream to manage all the photos took from my iPhone.
    Photo Stream will upload all new photos to iPhoto; when I connect iPhone to my mac, I can use iPhoto to delete my iPhone's camera roll's photos to clear the storage space.
    After I upgraded to Photos; the Photo Stream still running well, all new photos also upload to Photos' library, however, when I connect iPhone to my mac.
    Photos doesn't offer me any method to delete my iPhone camera roll's photos.
    What I can find is "Import Selected" or "Import All" and "Delete items after import" these functions are doesn't help.
    Because, all the photos are already imported by Photo Stream, when I click "Import All", all the imported photos will "RE-IMPORT" again and the photos will duplicate in my library.
    This is also a BUGS in Photos because in old version iPhoto when I import a photo which has already imported before, the software will pop-up a Dialogue Box to ask me options to choose between "Skip" or "Overwrite" or "Duplicate".
    Do anyone know how to delete the iPhone camera roll's photos by using new version Photos?
    Thank you very much.

  • ICloud Storage is almost full -- how do I clear my iPhone Camera Roll back-up without losing my photos?

    Hi.  My iCloud storage is almost full and my iPhone Camera Roll seems to be the main culprit.  So...
    1.  I think that they way to free up my iCloud storage is to go into iCloud management and delete the back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll.  Right?
    2.  If yes, does deleting my iPhone Camera Roll from iCloud back-up delete the photos from my phone entirely?
    3.  Also, if I have already saved my iPhone photos to my iPhoto Library on my computer (via hard line sync), should I be worried about deleting the iCloud back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll?  (In other words, will deleting the back-up on my phone somehow tell my iPhoto to delete the copies of the photo as well?)
    Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks!!

    Here's a tip: Part of what I do is photography, so I normally treat my iPhone as another camera. So, what I do is after I have finished taking some shots/videos with it, I download them to my computer (in my case, via Aperture). For everyone else, on the Mac there is the free Image Capture app, or the iPhoto app (which, if you have the latest version of Lion, it isn't built in there, so you would have to download it from the App Store for a fee).
    I have made it a habit to use this method whenever I finish taking pictures at the end of a day (but that's just me). Also, keep in mind that the videos that you take on your iPhone can take up a lot of space very quickly (for instance, one minute of 720p HD video recorded on the iPhone takes up over 300 MB of space!), so you would need to keep that in mind when shooting videos. SO, to answer your questions above:
    1) Right.
    2) No, because it is only a backup, not the Camera Roll itself.
    3) You should not be worried about deleting the iCloud backup of the iPhone Camera Roll. What would happen (in terms of the method) is that you first would download them to iPhoto first, then delete the images from your Camera Roll. This then would free up your iCloud storage space. Lastly, placing them in your iPhoto app will not tell your backup on your phone to delete them. When you delete the images from your camera roll, your "backup" will be smaller in size than it was beforehand.... Hopefully that made sense.

  • How do I sync iPhone Camera Roll over iTunes or WiFi Only (Not through 3G)

    I have a problem withere due to low 3G allowances I need to sync the iPhone Camera Roll either direct to iTunes (USB ot WifI) or a way ti force iCloud sync to only go through WiFi (disable iCloud sync via 3G). Does anyone know how to do this?

    If you are running Windows on a PC, define the Autoplay function to import your photos whenever you plug in your device.  Personally, I would disable the "Autosync" within iTunes so that you have a chance for the photo import to complete before you manually click on the iTunes "sync"

  • How can I get the many photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad (no OS 7 on either) - thanks!

    How can I get all of the photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad3?  Both are running OS 5x and 6x.  Thank you -

    Hey David152,
    Thanks for the question. First, you’ll want to import the photos to your personal computer:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    After doing so, you can then sync the photos over to your iPad:

    Also, you can enable Photo Stream so that new photos taken with your iPhone will automatically appear on your iPad. For more information regarding Photo Stream, see this resource:

  • In my iphone,in the photo album it only shows camera rolls, how to create new album in photo album?, in my iphone,in the photo album it only shows camera rolls, how to create new album in photo album?

    in my photo album, it only shows camera rolls,i would like ti create new photo album. It does not show photo library below the camera rolls.

    Hi
    It's just simple as creating an event/album in the iPhoto, with the photos you would like to have in your iPhone.
    Then, on iTunes you chose to synchronise with the iPhone that specific photo event/albun, instead of all the library.
    And that's it!
    Hope this helps you

  • I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    No.  Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup.  And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone.  Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
    If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. 
    Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).

  • Why is my iPhone Camera Roll using 10.0 GB but my Photo Library only using 6.3 GB?

    When I look at usage in my iPhone, Camera Roll is using 10.0 GB, but Photo Library is only using 6.3 GB. I do not have Photo Stream enabled. Why the difference?

    In my case, Camera Roll is just the pictures taken on my phone and the remainder of the photos on my phone were synced from my computer via iTunes and are under "Photo Library". If you go to Photos and then tap Albums at the bottom right, it will show which pictures are in the Camera Roll. My Camera Roll usage is much smaller than Photo Library as I only have 2 pictures there since I regularly import them to my computer where I have more control and extra backup capability. I then sync back some that I want to also have on the phone.

  • In the photos app I have 2 camera rolls and 1 photo gallery. Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks. Please help

  • I took a picture using camera plus app and the photo shows up in my camera roll; however, when I tap to view it a gray box shown instead. I tried to download the image and only the gray box shows. Can anyone help me?

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • 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.
