Understanding/organising photo library/camera roll

So i'm selling my Mac Pro and had to move everything over to my Macbook... I copied my itunes library to an external drive, and on that same drive I copied all my iphones pics/videos to a folder. I set itunes to use my external as its library, set itunes to sync the pictures with the folder I copied to the drive... hit sync and now i've got "Photo library - 1634, Camera Roll - 1743
Can I organise this better so I don't have duplicates? The value difference of 100 would be videos i'd imagine...

How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too. It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc. But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?! If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

Moving photo from camera roll to library...how?

When you take a picture, it puts it in photos icon, Camera roll.
When you sync from iTunes, it puts the pics in photos icon, Photo Library.
Questions
1) How do you move a PIC from Camera Roll to Photo Library easily (I know you can go through iTunes/iPhoto to do it, but it is very cumbersome).
2) How do you create additional "folders" to Photo Library, like one called Photo Library 2009, etc.
Assuming you can do this, how do you sync to these other "folders" besides Photo Library from iTunes?
Thanks,
Bob

1) You don't. You should import the pics from the camera roll to your computer regularly. You can then then organize them and sync whatever you like to your iphone.
2) You don't. You create and populate folders on your computer then sync to iphone.

Photostream overly complicated, can't save photos to Camera Roll

For those of us who like to manage our photos manually, why is it so overly complicated to manage images between Photostream and Camera Roll?
First, I just want to save photos from my old iPhone, which I added to from iPhoto to my Photostream because it seemed to be the only way, to my Camera Roll. This is not possible though. When I go to Photostream and select photos then select "Add To" it shows Camera Roll but it does not allow me to select Camera Roll and add them. The only option I can select is to create a new album within Photostream. If I just select an image in Photostream and then hit the share button, it also does not give me a save to Camera Roll option.
I only want to use the Camera Roll, yet even with Photostream turned off, photos I take on my iPhone still show up in the Photostream.
I just don't understand why this is so complicated. I've seen forum discussions that say it's easy to save Photostream photos to Camera Roll, but I've tried every way mentioned but it never gives me the option of saving to Camera Roll.
Help please. Thanks.

Create an album for your old photos. Connect your phone to iTunes on your computer. On the phone's summary page tap the Photos tab. Check the Sync photos from checkbox. Click the button next to the checkbox. Navigate to the folder on your computer where the pictures are located. Add them to your album.
Doing this in reverse is the only way to get these pictures back off your phone.
I agree iCloud / Photostream for photos is way to complicated and useless, but it is locked down to keep people from trying to use it to share commercial videos and music via the shared photostream. At least that is my guess.

I would like to know how to move photos from camera roll to other albums. I don't want to leave all my photos in camera roll. I wan't to do this using a PC.

I recently bought a new iPad and have questions about photos. I would like to move photos out of camera roll into other albums. I don't just want to copy them into other folders. I will be using a PC not a Mac.
I can view the photos in camera roll on my PC but can only back them up or delete them. I cannot see the other folders.
Thanks.

In terms of windows explorer/camera wizard you won't see synced folders/albums that are on the iPad. You can only add photos to albums/folders that you synced from your computer by adding the photos to the folders on your computer and then re-syncing - on the iPad you can only add/copy photos to albums that you've created directly on the iPad.
So you will need to copy the photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then organise them on your computer into folders and then re-sync them.

HT201302 how to backup photo besides camera roll? (iPad 2, 4.3.3)

I've seen many post said plug in your devices, right click and import, Thats only import my photo in camera roll, i've created few albums inside, and how to backup those albums i created?

Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
I could find an external driver to get photos before.
and I cannot sync the website bookmarks to my computer.
What can I do to solve this problem...??
HELP pls!!
Iphone 4

Try disabling Norton and syning. If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.

I can't access my photos in camera roll.

I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

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 can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7

can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7, please help? I press on photo, and menu comes up to save photo, but it is not in my camera roll. What's up?

when you tried to save did facebook ask you permission to access to the camera roll?
if not close and open facebook and try to save a picture and see if it pops with the question.
if it doesn't, goto settings>privacy>photos and see if facebook is added there,
if it's added and not enabled, enable it.
if everything mentioned above fails, do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide the switch off and try again to save it

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.

Check out this discussion > If i delete pictures from my camera roll on my iPhone will they be deleted from my iCloud also?

Emailing multiple photos from camera roll

Search threads but didn't find. Can multiple photos from camera roll be sent in an email on the iPhone 4

In round about way yes.
Go to photos.
In thumbnail view click menu item (think moved to top right in iOS4) to enable multiselect.
Select photos (up to 5 ... sorta) and then you can click share.
The sorta part is that if you do more than 5 the share will go away, but you can still select more, then choose copy, then go open email and paste in more than 5.
