Why do i have camera roll AND my photo stream

i have NEVER understood what the difference between my camera roll and my photo stream. i just want one bucket for all my photos and videos. can someone help?

No no one had access to my ipod but me. The only thing I can think of is in Sept I bought the iphone 5s and rep at verizon told me I could get it at the new contract price if I gave up my unlimited data so I did. The next day I regretted giving up my unlimited data plan so I went back to see if they could undo it and they told me the only way would be to return the phone and wait for a new iphone because now there was a waiting list. So I returned the phone but I had already set it up with my icloud account. Rep at verizon said they would reset to factory settings. Now I'm thinking maybe they didn't and the photo belongs to the new person who bought that phone. Anyway just to be safe I changed my apple password and turned off photo stream.

  • When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

    When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
    Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

    You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
    No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
    If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
    Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
    Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in.

  • How do I delete pictures from my albums other the camera roll and My photo stream

    How do I delete pictures from my albums other then the camera roll and my photo stream

    Photos in albums that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are removed the same way. Move the photo or photos you want to delete from the selected album or folder of photos on your computer followed by a sync.

  • When I takes pictures with my I phone they go to camera roll and not photo stream I it turned on on my phone any ideas?

    When i take photos with my iPhone they go to my camera roll not photo stream.  I have photo stream on any ideas?

    taken pictures will always be saved first in camera-roll as it is the standard place. Only if Photostream is active, they will additionally be stream-cached to the virtual folder labeled "photostream".
    The pictures thus live in two places, whereas the second place is not a real folder but a mirror of the photo-conent at icloud servers.
    Videos do not go into the photostream at all, they only live in "camera-roll".

  • Camera Roll and iPhone Photo Count.

    Hello all!
    I have noticed the number of photos in my camera roll, doesn't match the number shown in the 'about' section of the phone.
    Whilst on my photos deleted some i didn't need from both camera roll and my photo stream, the amount i deleted then shown on my about section and it had dropped the same amount which is normal.
    But i don't know why it's so high still, i have 77 photos in camera roll and my phone says i have 125!
    anyone else had this problem? thank you

    At this point I'd suggest you restore your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  Try first by restoring to your backup at the end of the process.  If you want things to go faster, backup your phone to iTunes (rather than iCloud, which takes much longer to restore from).  You can perform a manual backup in iTunes even if you are backing up to iCloud by connecting your phone to your computer and right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left sidebar of iTunes and choosing Backup.  Also, prior to restoring be sure to back up your contacts (such as by syncing them to iCloud in Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On, Outlook or another cloud service).  Don't rely solely on your iPhone backup to restore your contacts.
    If restoring using your backup does not resolve things, you'll have to save as much of your data as possible and restore your phone as new (without your backup).

  • My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on.

    My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream on my iPhone. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on(iCloud).

    Not sure if you are referring to photos in the Camera Roll from before you turned Photo Stream on, but just in case you aren't aware, only new photos will go. Following quote is from: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.

  • 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

  • How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • HT4910 How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream?

    How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream? It seems it is supposed to do it automatically , but it does not.

    Photos are normally uploaded automatically as long as you are connected to wifi, have the camera app closed and have at least 20% battery life remaining.  (It doesn't require a manual iCloud backup first.)
    If yours are working, if you haven't already done so, try turning off photo stream, then turn it back on.
    Sometimes people have issues getting photo stream to work on their home wifi, even if other devices in the home seem to work fine.  To troubleshoot this as a possible cause, some things to try include:
    Power-cycling your router (unplug for 15 seconds, then plug back in), then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then rejoin your wifi network.
    See if there is a firmware update available for your router.
    Change the DNS settings in your router to Google's Public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using)
    As a diagnostic step, go to a public wifi hotspot and take a photo, then wait a minute or so to see if it appears in your My Photo Stream album on your phone.  If it does, this confirms that the problem is with your home wifi.

  • How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    Hi,
    It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.
    Regards
