Why aren't photos in iPhoto photo library showing up in iPhoto camera roll?

Hi,
I downloaded all the photos on my Camera Roll on my iPhone into my AirBook computer because when I went to take a photo today with my iPhone it told me I had no space left.  But, now there are 300 photos in Photo Library that never showed up in Camera Roll and I can't download into my AirBook.  Those photos are just sitting in Photo Library in my phone.  How do I download them into my AirBook AND why did they not show up in the Camera Roll on my iPhone?
Thanks!
Caitlin

The photos are likely already on your MacBook Air in the iPhoto app there, which I assume you probably have.
iPhoto on your Mac houses the photo library.
Photos do not transfer to the Camera Roll on your iPhone (with very few exceptions).  They get transferred from the Camera Roll to your photo library.  You can then clean them off the Camera Roll.
When you sync the iPhone using iTunes, you can instruct iTunes how to sync your photos.  If, for example, you do not want all the photos in the photo library on your iPhone, that is how to keep them on your computer but not your iPhone.

  • Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email? particularly jpegs?

    Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email on my iPad2? particularly jpegs?
    Usually i just hold my finger down and am able to save all the photos attached in an email and now only certain photos are actually being saved. And in some instances the actual image is not there but instead just the word "jpeg"
    Why? and or how do I fix this....
    I loved being able to do the one step hold and save all from emails :-( Now its hold, save all and then pray that they actually make it in my photo album
    HElp)))))))))

    When you first enable photo stream on your Mac it only downloads photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  If the missing photos are older photos, that's probably the reason.

  • Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

    So this is a 2 part question:
    1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
    2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
    Thanks, Janis

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

    I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
    I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
    I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

    You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll.  That is where they live.  When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
    If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone. 
    Photos in albums are not in two places.  They are in only one place, the camera roll.  The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
    You should be importing these pics to your computer.  I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

  • How do I delete two "Albums"?  I deleted the photos but they show up anyway as camera roll on the Wallpaper.  Also I get no camera icon when I push the home button twice I get a Picture Frame icon that open the two photos that I deleted.

    I bought "slightly used 64 Gig iPad.  Works fine but somehow I still have two alburms in iPhoto.  I fooled around and took two photos, deleted them and now One is still in Camera Roll and other is in Edited album.  I have deleted the one photos I had in each and they show empty .  However the photos are still coming up as Wallpaper.  Also I do not have camera icon in bottom right corner.  I have a Picture frame that still brings up the two pictures I deleted.  I tapped the screen and nothing changes it all stays blank except for two pictures.  How do I get rid of them and get back to normal.
    Thanks,
    Theolddog

    Sorry Guys, I just found the "reset button" and reset all.  Everything is back to where it supposed to be and normal.  I had been trying for two days to fix and I was freaking out nothing was working.  Sorry, I now know betteer.  Thanks, Theolddog

  • Photos won't show up in my Camera Roll

    I've had the 16GB 3G camera or a little over a year now (I think lol whenever it came out was when I bought it) and now whenever I take a photo, or edit one in an app, it saves the photo to the camera roll, but won't show up. It will take a photo, and when I look for it in the camera roll, it isn't there. BUT when I sync it to my computer, and import them, they show up there. I have tried restarting, and shutting down, and even backed up my iPhone today which took over an hour. I have lots of room left on my iPhone, so idk why it's not working. Anyone have any ideas?

    Here is some info that might help.
    (you can also use an App caleed 'FileAid')
    If you have a finder-app on your phone you may navigate to the folder that stores the images(DCIM). Inside this folder there is a hidden folder called .MISC and inside this folder there’s a file called info.plist. This is the file that determines the filenames given to the photos and by deleting the whole .MISC folder you may solve your problem.
    The system will generate a new folder upon next image taken and name this IMG_0001.JPG
    I tried several ways and they did not work, but erasing everything in DCIM sub folders (MISC and 100apple) like Harry D said above helped me solve the problem.
    Simple fix for those withOUT jailbreak.
    1. Buy Phoneview - useful for a LOT of things actually, like backing up SMS, etc.
    2. Open iphone,
    3. Click on Settings
    4. Select “Open Entire Disk”
    5. Find MISC folder on file tree
    6. Highlight and delete
    7. Done!
     

  • Why doesn't my whole iTunes music library show up on Apple TV?  Only songs I have purchased or downloaded show up

  • I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me. They show up in the camera roll and then I put them in separate albums. My camera roll when I try to open it freezes and the thumbprints are a jumbled and blurred. This is on my ipad.

    I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me on my ipad. They show up in the camera roll, but when I open the camera roll the thumbprints are jumbled and blurred and frozen. I can't get out of there unless I shut my ipad down and restart it. I can use other parts of my ipad ,but my camera roll remains frozen....help!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • How can I put photos from my iPod to my computer wihout using camera roll?

    How can I sync photos from iPod touch to my computer without using camera roll?

    How did the photos get on the iPod? If they were synced from another computer you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.

    my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
    Here are the details.
    1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
    2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
    3) Start MPEG Streamclip
    4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
    5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
    6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
    7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
    8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
    9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
    9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
    11) Open iMovie.
    12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
    13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
    I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

  • Photos not showing up in my camera roll, but they were there yesterday

    Hi,
    Last night I deleted about 50 pictures off my camera roll. This morning, I woke up and 150 pictures were missing, including all the recent pictures I had taken that I did not delete.  It's not showing any picture that I took after May and it showed that I had 390 pictures. When I went into "settings" and "general", it said that I had 499 pictures on my camera.  I can't see those... I just updated the software, which I hadn't done and it didn't change anything.  Now, I'm trying to use Photostream to see if they'll show up there, but I wasn't backing them up before.  I also moved all the pictures I could see to my computer, but again, it didn't let me move those 100 pictures. 
    What can I do to once again access those additional 100 pictures?
    thank you!!!

    Reset the iPhone then take a photo. See if it shows up in the camra roll.
    If not, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try a photo.

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • Why aren't all of my recent purchases showing up on my "purchased" tab on iphone 4S?

    Why aren't all of my recent purchases showing up on my "purchased" tab on iphone 4S? I downloaded an album and I can't seem to get songs 2 and 4 although they are on my computer. I could probably connect my iphone to sync, but I'm wondering why they aren't transferring via iCloud.
    Thanks!
