Why are there duplicate pictures on camera roll but none saving to photo stream?

My wife and I share an itunes account and when iCloud came out all her pictures were showing up on my photo stream (she does a lot of screen caps of cute animal pics to send to her friends) so to stop that I set her up with her own iCloud account.  Now when she takes a picture, seconds after she takes it, a duplicate copy appears right beside it, but none ever go to her photo stream folder.  What gives? At first I thought maybe she had HDR on, but it's not.  Then I thought maybe I didn't have photostream on correctly but looking at it it all looks fine. It's running the latest version of iOS5.  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on.  That may get photo stream to function properly again.

  • HT201077 why are there 600 photos on camera roll but only 300 in photo stream?

    if photos upload automatically to the photo stream, why do I have twice as many photos on my photo stream. It seems also to have stopped uploading photos in early March. I also have 2 photo streams on my ipad (which is synced to my phone & computer); one with 400+ photos & one with 200+ photos. I ipad also has only 300 of the 600 original photos in the camera roll.
    This is confusing.

  • Why are there duplicates in my calendar?, why are there duplicates in my calendar?

    Why are there duplicates in my calendar?

    Is it possible that you or someone copied them to that folder or an automated progress making a backup to that folder.  Normally if you upload the photos then will be stored in your iPhoto library folder. 

  • In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further.  As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them.  Just make sure first that they are in your photo software.  If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
    At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway.  So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream

    How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream?
    Trying to clean up space to download updated iOS. Thanks!
    Have tried unsuccessfully the left swipe and pressing the red delete. No change.

    The only problem is I have only 1.6GB available and need 3.7 to update to the iOS7.  I also have 2.6GB in the "Other" catagory.  How do I access the "Others" area in iTunes in order to see what is there and what I might be able to delete in order to create the amount of space needed.  Thanks for your help!

  • How to I delete pictures from camera roll but not album on ipad

    I am trying to delete pictures from my camera roll without having to delete them pictures from the album..  The reason for this is I have organised my pictures into albums on iPad and therefore would like to delete from camera roll however when I attempt to do this it says it will delete from album as well. Is there any way round this. Thanks.

    No there isn't. The original photo is being stored in the camera roll and the copy of the photo is in the album. If you remove the photo from the camera roll, you will delete it from any albums that it might be in as well.
    With the benefit of an edit - my comments are with regard to trying to this on the device itself.

  • Photos in camera roll do not download to photo stream

    photos in camera roll do not always download to photo stream on iphone?

    Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
    Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
    On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

  • Why are there duplicate results in the Open With menu?

    I own an iMac with the latest version of OSX (I forget what it is). As you can see in this image, I am going to open an image using the Open With menu, and there are a lot of repeats. In addition to the repeats, some apps show up that no longer exist and some apps don't show up that still do exist. For example, I no longer have RockMelt on my operating system. I also don't have the version of Pixelmator listed: I trashed that version and installed a different version, but when I click on Pixelmator in the menu, it reverts to Preview because that version of Pixelmator no longer exists. This is a minor issue but it is really bothering me because whenever I want to open Pixelmator, I have to go through the whole process of clicking Other and browsing my applications folders to get to it. Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated and I would reward you with imaginary cookies (Yum!).
    Seriously though, I need help.

    Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
    When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

  • HT1711 why are there duplicates sometimes and then when I go back in there gone?

    I have noticed lately that some songs are now in duplicate.  This does not always happen.  Is anyone else having this problem? 

    Try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save the setting.

  • Why are there duplicate contacts in my contact list?

    I just edited some names in my contact list like I added a couple phone numbers and emails but after I was done those names I edited duplicated?  Why is this?

    Similar problem here... I have the iCloud file in my Outlook, but it is now empty... Contacts still on my iPod and iPad, but nothing on my PC :S

  • Why are there duplicates to all my apps in the top left corner of my iPad?

    I can only move the apps in the top left and they can go anywhere, even on other apps. It is only on the first page of apps.

    See if this makes them return to normal.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why are there pages about link installation problems but no reply support from blackberry

    and it appears impossible to contact blackberry as they only seem to refer you tyhis forum or via twitter to which i have no account or any idea how to use one if i did

    Hello,
    There is nothing new with what you describe. BlackBerry has NEVER provided direct-to-user support. Rather, all support follows the formal support channels -- which start with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers (it varies by region and by issue), each who can escalate cases into BlackBerry if needed.
    This site has NEVER been an channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. This site is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out with various situations. But it is not a replacement for formal support, for that is (contractually) available via only one channel, and it's not here.
    Good luck!

  • When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.
