TS3989 I had photos on my camera roll on my old phone, bought a new one and selected those photos to be a shared photo stream but when I sent it to my wife and opened it on my new phone it says there are no photos shared - these photos are more than 30 da

Just bought a new iPhone 5 and wanted to send pics from my camera roll on my iphone 4 as a shared photo stream to my new phone and my wife's phone.
I selected the pictures and created the photo stream and it showed up on my new phone and she was able to accept invite, but when opened the stream contained 0 photos and a message that says "No Shared Photos"
These pictures were admitedly older than 30 days. Is that the rule that pictures from your camera roll older than 30 days cannot be shared as photo stream?
I apprecaite all guidance on this issue. For those answering - yes everything else photostream wise is connected and working so there's no issue with setup - my question simply is can a user upload photos older than 30 days from the camera roll to a shared photostream?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
30 days is only applicable to My photostream and even then it applies from the time they were added not mwhen they were taken (unless it's the same time)
I'd be inclined to restart your wife's phone and see if that helps, otherwise you might try turning photostream off and on again on her phone.
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.

  • I changed my apple id and now I can't update my apps or download new ones.  I've changed the ID in my iphone settings, but when I go in the apps store my old ID shows up.  If I change my settings back to the old ID my password doesn't work.  HELP!

    So I changed my Apple ID.  Now on my Iphone I can't update things from the apps store or download new stuff.  I went into settings and changed my ID there, but in the apps store it still shows up as my old ID.  The apps store won't let me log on with the new one, as my old still shows up, and if I go back into settings and change it back to the old ID the password I had before no longer works.  This ***** Apple.  You just ruined my Iphone!!!  My phone went from being cool to being junk since I am not unable to download or update apps...the coolest part of my phone.  Someone help???  Please tell me how I can enjoy my phone and apps again...

    Thank you for the response, but I ended up temporarily resetting my Apple ID... It was a pain, but it worked in the end.

  • Just lately, my iPod has been saying that it's connected to wifi, but when I try to use the wifi and use an app that requires wifi, it keeps saying things like 'Cannot connect to server' when it clearly is 'connected'. What's wrong with my iPod?

    Also, when I tried to connect my iPod to my MacBook Pro, and sync it into iTunes, 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone.' First it's not an iPhone, and second, my iPod could sync perfectly fine before the wifi problem. Is there a way to return it back to normal; fix it? Someone please answer.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • HT201302 How do I delete a photo from my camera roll and not delete it from a folder

    When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. How do I delete from the camera roll and not lose them from the folder?

    "When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. "
    Correct.  There is only one photo and it is in the camera roll.  The folders you create are just a way to organize the pics.  it does not create a duplicate pic.
    Just as a song is in your library and a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and the folder.
    If you delete a song from the library, then it is gone.  The same is true of pics.

  • How do I add photos to the camera roll that were not taken on my iPad? I imported photos to my iPad from my camera, and now I want to add them to my camera roll which is sync'ed with Dropbox as a back up mechanism.

    How do I add photos to my camera roll that were not taken one my iPad? I have iMported photos from my camera to my iPad. Theses photos are in the imported photo album. I want to move these photos to my camera roll but can't figure out how to this. I want them in my camera roll because that is the album that syncs with Dropbox where I want to backup my photos. Thank you for your help.

    Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes.  It's much easier to configure and manage than samba.  It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
    More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
    To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
    gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
    Subsitute my mount points with yours.
    For a password-less mount:
         ssh-copy-id gav@PI
    after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
    Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
       security = user
      hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
      guest account = gav
    ; And my share setup:
    [rpi]
       comment = Public Stuff
       path = /mnt
       writable = yes
    ;   printable = no
    ;   write list = @krb
    [torrent_dl]
       path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
       writable = yes
       create mask = 0770
       directory mask = 0770
       guest ok = Yes
       case sensitive = No
       read only = No
    Hope this helps.

  • "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

    "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3.  My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
    So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing.  At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
    I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone.  There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
    What next please?

    An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
    As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?".  The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
    OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?".  Mistake.  You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone.  Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila!  Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
    Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll.  If i download a picture on on an app, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image

    Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.

    To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

  • Splitting photos on 2 Camera Rolls and Rename photos directly

    Hello,
    I use my iphones camera as a personal and professional camera (to Talk photos of patients before & after surgery... etc).
    I have couple of questions to adapt the camera app to my needs:
    Is it possible to have 2 Camera Rolls, so i can split my professional from personal photos? ie. personal photos go to Camera Roll 1 and prof. photos to Camera Roll 2!!
    Is there a way to rename my prof. on the iPhone it self the moment i shoot the photo? Normaly i do it on the computer later, (eg. LASTNAMEf2013080301.JPG) to help me find patients photos easly later on.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas that could help with my 2 questions, even if it can be done by using an app other than iphone Camera App.

    1. No. There is only one Camera roll, and you can;t create a second one. It contains all the pictures you take. You can create Albums outside camera roll, and put pointers to specific photos in the camera roll in those albums, so you can group them. The Photos will still reside inside the Camera roll, so if you delete it from there it will also disappear from the album you placed it in.  But you can open an album and all the Photos in your camera roll pinned to that album will show up, while ones that aren't will not.
    2. No, since you can't see the filenames, there's no direct way to rename them. You can again sort them into albums for easier viewing.
    There are 3rd party Apps in the App store that may work for you though.
    For instance:

  • I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 3.3.5 to iOS 5.0 and lost all my photos on the camera roll. Where are they and can I  retrieve them?

    I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?

    Have you been using your phone as recommended?  If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping.  Just as you would with a standalone digital camera.  Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival. 
    While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
    If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup.  Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

    You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
    You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
    Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

  • Can I delete my photos from my camera roll and they still be in my photo scream and on my computer?

    Can I delete all my photos from my camera roll and still have those photos in my photo stream and on my computer? Or if I delete those photos, will they also be deleted from my photo stream and my computer?

    Photos deleted out of the camera roll will not delete out of Photostream. However you want to make sure that you save your photos in your photostream somewhere before they are deleted on thier 31st day.
