Unable to view camera roll in photos app

Trying to view camera roll in "photos app" and the greyed area and title "Albums" is covering up, over top of the Camera Roll area so I cannot select it to view it?
I can view the camera roll in my camera app no problem but not in the Photos app that came with Iphone 4. any suggestions?

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • Airplay and videos in camera roll and photos app

    Does anyone know if airplay allows you to push videos shot with the iPhone that are currently in the camera roll, or videos synced from iPhoto that are in different albums on the photos aPP?

    Just installed and tested the updates for the iPhone 4 and ATV.
    When airplaying videos from the iPhone 4 to ATV, all videos in the iPod App, videos section, can be airplayed with no problem. However, for videos in the "photos" app (ie: videos you've recently taken with your iPhone camera), there is simply no airplay button. The still photos have an airplay button, and can be airplayed to your ATV with no problem. But the videos cannot. This is odd and disappointing for me, because this was the feature I was most excited about: Taking a video of my 7-month-old son with my iPhone 4 at one point during the day, then airplaying it to the ATV to show my wife and others later in the day, without having to bother to synch my iphone to my computer, put the video into iTunes, and navigate to it on the ATV.

  • "Camera Roll" in Photo app was deleted.

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.0.2. The problem I'm facing right now is that "Camera Roll" tab that used to be in Photo App was deleted and the tab "Recently Added" was replaced. I used to be able to find my photos in one place but now if I want to see all, I cannot find in Album tab. The photos can be found only in Photo tab of collection. How can I restore that "Camera Roll" tab to my phone to be able to find my photos again?

    You cannot. Camera Roll was removed. See this support document for help in locating and understanding how photos are handled now. Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8

  • 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.

  • I still don't totally 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).  I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

    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?

    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):

    - 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)

  • 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.

    If you connect the phone to the computer you should be able to transfer photos from your camera roll.
    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.

  • 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? 

  • Which can I delete...camera roll or photo stream?

    Which can I delete...camera roll or photo stream?

    Hello cleofigaro
    You can delete from both places if you want. All you would need to do is view the photo that you do not want and then tap the trashcan icon in the lower right hand corner. If you want to do more photos at once, when looking a multiple photos tap the Select button in the upper right hand corner and then tap the photos and videos that you want deleted and then hit the trashcan to remove them

  • Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

    Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

    Hey carolfromdaventry,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
    Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos. 
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What's the difference between "photo stream", 'camera roll' and 'photos' ?

    I can't download the new update because I don't have enough storage. I bought more storage but my camera roll is 6.2 GB. Photo stream is 323 MB. Can someone please explain the difference between photo stream, camera roll, and photos. Thanks.

    Photo Stream is a feature of iCloud;
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    The Camera Roll is an album on the iPad with any photos that you transfer from a camera or memory card using the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad or any screen shots that you take with the iPad or any photos that you take with the cameras on an iPad 2, as opposed to any albums that you have synced to the iPad from your computer using the iTunes app. The Camera Roll comes and goes as needed. If you have no photos that would go into the Camera Rol, it disappears, and returns when it is needed.
    iPhoto is an Apple photo app for the Mac computer. It is part of the iLife suite of Mac apps;

  • HT4890 Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Can you move photos from camera roll to photo stream?

    Photos taken on your device (which are saved to the camera roll) after enabling photo stream are automatically added (when connected to wifi, the camera app is closed, and you have at least 20% battery power remaining).  If you want to add earlier photos you'll have to either email them one by one to yourself, then open the email and save them back to your camera roll (which will now upload to photo stream because it is considered a new photo), or you can send them all at once using an app like PhotoSync.  With this app you can transfer them wirelessly to your computer, then delete them from your camera roll on your phone, the send them back to the camera roll from your computer (which will again cause them to be seen as new photos).  (iTunes will not transfer photos to your camera roll so you can't just import them and sync them back.)

  • Move photo's from camera roll to photo stream

    I am confused. I have a number of photo's in Camera Roll. They apparantly do not back up to iCloud as part of Photo Stream. Is there a way to move them from Camera Roll to Photo Stream so they will be available to my other devices, or do I have to manually copy them to my desktop to make them available? If the latter, what is the best process for this?

    Only photos taken on your phone after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded.  It will not transfer photos that were in Camera Roll before turning it on.  If you want full resolution pictures to be available for your old photos, import them to your computer and put them in your upload folder (assuming your computer has iCloud an Photo Stream enabled).  Also, Photo Stream isn't a backup service; photos are only kept there for 30 days allowing your enough time to download them to your other devices.
    I have images/videos which I saved from Messages. Even with Photo Stream enabled, it does not appear possible to move anything from Camera Roll. Once there, it appears to be stuck there.

    Work around: first view the pic on your camera roll, then snapshot it by using home and sleep button at same time. Your pic is at photo stream now
    Two problems with that are that the images are not captured at their original resolution. Also, this does absolutely no good for videos which are saved from Messsages.

  • HT1535 I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

    I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

    your photos are in events -
    the most common cause of not seeing the events is bad camera dates or event sort being wrong so you are looking in the wrong place - see the view menu ==> sort events to correct sort - if the camera date is off select a photo and right click and show event to find it - then use the adjust time and date command to correct it
    and you can drag photos to the desktop - what happens when you do? probably a better work flow with more flexibility is to select the photo(c) and export them (file menu ==> expoprt) to a desktop folder
