My original iPhone 4S was acting up, and my wireless provider shipped me a new one under warranty. Before returning my defective unit, I synced my calendar, contacts, etc., with Outlook on my Windows PC, and, using Windows Explorer, copied all my photos from three subfolders that appeared under "Apple iPhone / Internal Storage / DCIM". I did not record the names of these subfolders, and did not replicate them on my PC, just copied all photos into an arbitrary folder on the PC - not good, I discovered too late!
When I got the new unit, I restored from my local backup using iTunes, which got me all my calendar, contacts etc, and I copied all 500+ photos from my saved folder on my PC, onto the new iPhone. IIRC I just copied them to the DCIM folder, but they do not show up in it. Now the iPhone has all these photos in Photo Library, where I cannot delete them, but they are not in Camera Roll. When I connect the iPhone to my PC, it shows up, but there is only one subfolder, "860OKMZO", under "Apple iPhone / Internal Storage / DCIM", and it only has the few photos I have taken since getting this new unit. The 500+ photos, which I can view in Photo Library, do not show in Windows Explorer, and I have no way to delete any of them.
Is there any way I can regain the ability to edit these photos like I can the ones in Camera Roll?
Grateful for any advice.
Bob
