Why are all my pictures being saved to the Camera Roll album?

Hi
Every image saved to my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) is saved to the Camera Roll album and not to any other folders i.e. Snapchat images are not saved to a Snapchat folder, Instagram pictures not saved to an Instagram folder, Twitter pictures nto saved to a Twitter folder.
Also, in a possibly unrelated query, I moved a large chunk of images from my Camera Roll to a separate folder (called "London" for my visit of the city) but they also still remain in the Camera Roll album.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

I've just received my iPhone 6 & upgraded to ios8.1.
After I set up my new phone & restore my icloud backup from my old iPhone 4, I found that the photo album cannot be used, photo taken by the camera cannot be saved (anyway the thumbnail of the photo just taken was showed on the bottom left corner).
When I go into my photo album, there are no photo at all.
Same with videos. Instagram works fine, facebook crashes when I try to take photos. Camera + works with the app photo stream, but gives error message when I try to save camera+ stream to camera roll
I tried to reset & delete everything for 5-6 times, the problem still there.
Anyone can help on this problem please?

Have you enabled "Save incoming Media"

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

Why is the camera roll album gone iOS 8

Updated to iOS 8 and the camera roll album is now gone, and all you have is recently added photos and an album for deleted photos which I think completely defeats the purpose of deleting photos. To see the rest of your photos, you have to go to memories or collections or something like that and have to scroll through extremely messy date stamped albums then click on them and it takes you to a map that takes forever to load then you have to zoom in to find the picture you want. This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen come from Apple so far. Bring back the old camera roll album and don't force us to use photo stream or iCloud sharing photos or whatever it may be. I want the ability to simply see all of my pictures in one place and scroll through them and if I want them on my Mac I will plug up my phone and sync it. Until then, I'm going to try to go back to ios7. Also after the update my not abused iPhone 5 with 32gig memory is much slower, the apps fade in and out much less smoothly, added more apps from apple that I don't want nor can I delete, and made it ignorantly hard to go through your photos. Very disappointed

agreed, I will not buy the new iPhone if this is how the photos and camera are going to be handled. You would think one of the highest grossing and most intelligent electronics company would have seen how terrible of an idea this was during their many months of development. Hopefully this will be seen along with others who feel the same and apple can give us the camera roll album back, thats seriously all I want in my pictures. I don't want to know when I took it, or where, or have pictures organized by these criterion, or several albums to hold other useless stuff and copies, we just need the camera roll.

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen. Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system. After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

Why are all my pictures not on my ipad

Why are all my photos from my phone not on my iPad?

Very vague.
Did you put them there?

How do I transfer just my edited pictures that are saving to the camera roll to iPhoto on my Mac?

See above

Try using Image Capture in the Applications folder on your Mac and see if you have success with that. Same process - select the iPad at the top and the photos should appear in the window.
I have the original iPad and the photos that can be imported are those from the Saved Album. The Saved Album on the iPad original is the same thing as the Camera Roll on the iPad 2. Actually I thought only the photos from the camera roll or the saved album could be imported.
This may be helpful to you.

No Photos are saving in the camera roll anymore (original iphone)

This is a new problem, but the first one Ive ever had with this phone. Yesterday, whenever I would take a picture, it showed that it was taken in the Photo Albums section. But when I went into the Camera Roll's folder, there were no pictures.
I synced the phone today (updating to the newest software that was recently released), and I'm still having the same problem. I've taken 4 pictures since the update, but the camera roll shows "No Photos".
(For additional information, I do have 50% memory or more free... so I know it's not a memory issue. I have also restarted my phone)
Any suggestions? or similar issues?

I think I may have found what “triggers” this. I noticed that my last successfully saved image on my iPhone was IMG_0999.JPG.
I’m guessing that the bug in the iPhone is that the photo counter doesn’t handle image numbers greater than 999.
After the restore procedure described here, I’m guessing the image number goes back to 0001, but that the problem will reappear 998 images from now.

Re: Photo taken do not appear in Photos on iPhone anymore !
Well appears it had nothing to do with iTunes indeed.
Read quite a few threads of disappearing photos issues and was really not thrilled at the prospect of restoring and going through the process of reinstalling apps, settings etc... Cannot stand going through command lines either!
Instead I tried the http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ application and deleted as instructed the .MISC folder inside the /DISC/DCIM folder.
Worked!!!
Interesting thing: right after that my pictures counter started at IMG_00001 etc... which could suggest indeed a 'bug' with the photo counter that reaches a limit and must be manually reset to 00000

TS1500 how do I transfer all my photos and videos including the camera roll from my Iphone 5 to my Windows 7 laptop?

hi there, I have an IPhone 5 32gig filled with pics and vids I cannot get off my phone and onto my laptop running Windows 7. Ifunbox hasnt recognized the camera roll. Went into a Apple store last night to talk to a genius and all he said was he hadn't touched a PC in twenty years and that no one there could answer my questions. Yeah, I was furious.

The camera roll should be seen just like any other digital camera when connected to your computer. Anything else had to come from your computer to begin with and can not be transferred without purchasing 3rd party software or individually saving them to the camera roll, emailing them, or otherwise finding another way to transfer them.
You do have iTunes installed on the computer, right? The drivers required are included in the iTunes install package.

Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

What is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious? If not serious, why is this not being explained? If serious, why are Mac users not being informed of the risk?

what is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious?
If serious, why are we not kept informed
If not serious, why is some much anxiety being created?

IMO, it is being greatly over-blown in the media and online.
Man in the middle attacks require the hacker to be connected to the same intranet network that your device is. Even if they are, unless you go to a secure site and use personal data (like passcodes) they get nothing from stealing your data stream.
If you are at your home, on your own secured intranet, then you really have virtually nothing to fear (as long as your own home network is secured and not wide open to anybody within range). If you routinely use a VPN connection when on public wifi, again, you are fine. Or if you use FireFox, Chrome or another browser that implements its own SSL security, then you are fine.
The fact is, that even for those in a particular situation that is vulnerable to such an attack, most are not actually under any such attack - it is not nearly as rampant as the recent hype would have it seem to be.

Why are my photos smaller when I access the camera from the lock screen?

I have an iPhone 4s using IOS 5 and I have noticed that when I access my iPhone camera from the lock screen (by double clicking the home button) that the photos I take are only 640 x 480 pixels, but when I unlock the phone and click the Camera icon the photos 3264 x 2448 pixels. I would pefer to always shoot the larger sized photos. Is there a way to change this?

Why are all of my purchases downloaded from the cloud but can't be played from iTunes?

I recently updated iTunes as prompted. Many of my songs disappeared. I was able to get most of them back. Some of the songs I purchased will not play in iTunes. I've checked my history, and it says that all songs were donwloaded. Why won't they play?

But I would think that the purchases would be saved onto my Itunes account and therefore redownload into my computer. I have been able to retrieve about 9 of the 20+ songs that I bought by syncing my phone however the other purchases are still not there. Also, when I go to the Itunes store and back to the purchases, the button you press to buy it says "PURCHASED" so I know I don't have to rebuy them. How do I redownload the music I purchased previously?

Why are all my apps have .app at the end

Hi, my apps all have .app at the end, why is that, how can I remove it.

To identify them to the operating system as applications. All applications use the same ".app" extension just like all MS Word documents use ".doc" or ".docx". They provide information the OS needs so it knows what to do when you double-click on a file.

My iphone 4G has 1165 photos and NONE of them can be seen in the DCIM. None of my videos either. The folder is empty. Where the heck are all my pictures?

With my old 3GS I could connect the phone and navigate to a folder that contained all my pictures and copy them off or view them. Now with my iphone 4G, I connect the phone, navigate to the DCIM folder and it's empty! WTH? Where are all my pictures? I hate having to use itunes because it's performamce is beyond terrible. It takes several minutes to even start and when I click on anything in itunes and I have to wait 20 seconds or more before it responds, then I can click on the next thing wait 20 seconds or more, and so on. Every other application I have is ripping fast. It's horrible. Is apple deliberately making this a giant pain!? Where are all my pictures and video?

The DCIM folder is for your Camera Roll. The pics synced from iTunes will not show up there, only pics taken with the iPhone.
