Trouble accessing Camera Roll in Photos
when i go into Photos, the top option is Camera Roll, but now a heading Albums is over the top of it and I cannot select Camera Roll, any suggestions?
For those of you needing the step by step...
1 - Press the HOME button until you get back to your HOME screen.
2 - Press the HOME button twice, somewhat rapidly.
3 - The home screen should FADE, and rise up to reveal a row of four icons across the bottom. If your PHOTOS are not one of those four, swipe the icons to the left to reveal the next four. Repeat this until you see PHOTOS.
4 - Press and hold PHOTOS for about 2 seconds. All four visible icons will start to wiggle and a red MINUS sign will appear on each one.
5 - Release your hold on PHOTOS, then tap the red minus sign on PHOTOS. This will "close" the photos app.
6 - Press the HOME button twice, somewhat rapidly.
7 - Relaunch your PHOTOS app. Should be fixed.

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes
Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes. Is adobe photoshop the only program I can use?
You don't see them in iTunes. In theory your computer should see the device as a camera and you should be able to transfer the photos in the same way as if you'd connected a 'proper' camera to your computer (this only applies to photos taken with the device or saved from emails/websites etc, it doesn't apply to photos that were synced from your computer). There is some help/guidance in this article for transferring photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

problem with iPad mini and iPhone 5c and Facebook app. I can only access camera roll, when posting photos, I can not see shared photos. Which I could before the previous 3 updates. I did speak to Apple support but they said Facebook was behind. i think over 6 months later I still have the same problem!
Thank you. Do you have any idea about the 5c, which is only 2 weeks old. Before this I had an iPhone 4, and you could choose which collection you wanted to post from,
but my 5c is also only showing camera roll, pehich is rather annoying to say the least! -
How do I transfer photos from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that they sync w/ my PC?
I want to take pics w/ the phone and then view them on my PC. I can't seem to get the photos and video to move from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that I can work with them on my PC. I can move pics on my PC into the photostream upload folder and those appear quicklly on my phone in the photo stream album.

How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer. -
Whatsapp can only access camera roll
Why is Whatsapp only able to access camera roll and not other albums?
Seemingly a Whatsapp issue, that you can work around copying your photo in the Photos app then pasting in Whatsapp.

after picking a picture in camera roll and txting it...I can not access camera roll again because the topof the phone where it says "albums" comes up lower - thereby covering the camera roll. I can see it, since the "album" is see through, but I can not access it. The only way it fixes itself is if I reboot the phone every time.
Seems to be a known bug in the firmware, until it will be solved in a future update, you can also bring up the Multitask bar, tap on the photo app until it shakes and hit the little "minus" icon to close the app. After that it should be working again without having to the reset the device.

Problems in accessing Camera Roll images using HTML 5 technology
Hello,
I have developed a application using HTML 5 technology. This application is supportable to iPhone 4S. In this application, if we try to upload an image from "Camera Roll" it's not returning properly. The result image is rotated, squeezed and in different format. But this is working perfectly if we upload the image from other folders like Photo Stream.
No idea why the images from Camera Roll is not returning in proper format.
Your help and support is much appreciated
Thanks
Abdul Cader
<Link Edited By Host>Hi Abdul
I've looked at your app and really like the way it accesses Camera Roll - I would be interested in learning more about this project - is there any way I can get in touch with you? Do you have another web site ?

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. -
How can I put my icloud photos to camera roll or photo stream?
I got a nee iphone, i backed up everything and restored it into mu new iphone, but the pictures didn't restore so i did it manually but now on my phone i got different albums icloud photo stream and camera roll. How can i put the icloud picture into camera roll or photo stream. Any ideas?? On my old iphone ive deleted everything.
Hello Ozzie94,
Thanks for the additional information. The camera roll is designed for photos taken on your device, or saved images from Mail and other applications. Photos synced from a computer are organized into their own album(s):
View photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3d267610
- Camera Roll—photos and videos you took on iPhone, or saved from an email, text message, webpage, or screenshot
- Shared photos and videos—Photos and videos that you’ve shared with iCloud Photo Sharing or that others have shared with you (see iCloud Photo Sharing)
- Photos and videos synced from your computer (see Sync with iTunes)
Additionally, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com

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?

On my Iphone I have 1-Camera roll, two Photo Libraries, and 1 delete. I cannot get rid of the Photo albums off the phone. I cannot take things off my Iphone using the itunes because it doesn't pull the Iphone up.

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

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.

I3 os4 - i4s os5 Albums gone - Cam roll missing photos
ITunes 10.5 pc
THE StORY:
3G phone-------------
Spent hours sorting 4000 pics on 3G os4 ready for 4s os5 upgrade.
- created 9 albums from pics on camera roll
- Noticed photo library gets larger as I do this.
- on iPhone, manually delete photos in Cam Roll to avoid copies in 3 places (goal: Present only in Photo Library and Albums since these are linked by design. Who wants a bunch of dup pics, crikey. 1 less is still better right?
- in iTunes, (based on genius direction) right click phone icon, create backup. (the theory was a snapshot of current phones state before upgrade to 4s)
- synced phone - (had some app upgrades/pics to account for)
Q?. How do I know if pics are getting backed up some place when doing a sync?
4S-----------
Goal - Put new data on new phone.
- plug in 4S. Right click phone icon, restore from backup option. Select most recent date.
- complete restore. Phone restarts. Run through setup. Complete. Use phone! Yay!
PROBLEM:
3G
Cam roll 4251 pics
Photo library 792 pics = 10 albums (that took hours to create)
4S
Camera Roll 4251 pics
No Photo Library and no albums. @&$! Really?
- did I just lose 792 of my favorite pics including 262 pics of my fiancé makin funny faces!?
- lame. Please help.
Q?. How do I retrieve all my pics w/o losing changes made to new 4s
- FYI I can still see the albums and photo album on the old 3G phone. Afraid to hook it back up to iTunes in fear of losing them, did they. It get backed up some how?!!!I better summarize.
...old 3G iPhone.
1. Created a backup of:
Camera Roll 4251 pics
Photo Library 792 pics consisting of 10 albums.
New 4S
1. Restored from backup.
2. Result: Camera Roll 4251 pics
No Photo Library and no albums. They went missing, how?!
- did I just lose 792 of my most important pictures?
Any insight appreciated.
1. How do I get the albums from my old phone backed up if I ran the backup function before upgrade to 4s with apparently no luck?
2. Additionally, if I could somehow get the pics backed up, how do get them onto my now already restored 4s where only a camera roll is present? -
