Photo library shows more photos than it really has

My photo library has 41 photos, however when checking "Usage" it shows I have 10.4Gb. Why?
The complete Photo & Camera shows:
1. Photo Library = 10.4 Gb
2. My Photo Stream = 20.1 Mb
3. Shared Photo Stream = 821 Mb
when checking via iTunes, it shows I have 3801 photos, where are they? I know they are not the in recently deleted album.
Any ideas?

Hi rfirmeza,
It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you're still seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos on your device and storage space used, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

  • My iPhone showing more pics than are really on the phone

    I only have about 300 pics on my phone, but the storage shows 4GB used on the phone, and when i view via iTunes, it shows i have over 1300?  I have deleted all the photos in the "deleted" folder, as well as iMessages.  I have restarted my phone, hard reset, just about everything I know to do, and it still is the same.  I have seen the same issue other places, but no real solutions.

    Before you unplug the phone you have to sync it with iTunes.

  • Photo Library showing up on iPhone 3GS???

    I've read through a few posts regarding deleting images, albums, etc and resyncing.
    But the main issue I've been having is that through iPhoto I have a few albums
    some with video that I'm able to sync over into my iPhone 3Gs but the Photo Library continues to show up and I can't seem to find a way to keep this from not syncing into my photo albums as it seems to show all the images I already have on the iPhone.
    Can someone tell me how not to have the photo library showing up. It never did before.
    I'm syncing through iPhoto, and also did through image capture.
    much appreciate the feedback ~A~

    Gotcha!
    What I ended up doing was syncing through image capture and choosing the folder of which to sync the images from.
    In image capture it doesn't duplicate the named folder, but brings it in as renamed as "photo library".
    What's odd is that it doesn't import the folder as named.
    Only when syncing in iPhoto does it keep the named folder, but also brings along the photo library.
    So there's little means of flexibility when it comes to organizing images with the iPhone software.
    Are there any 3rd party software programs that anyone is using to sort images on their iPhone? Curious

  • Older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion)

    older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion) how do i get to view those pics ?...thanx

    That library was created by iPhoto via Share ➙ Burn menu, correct?  It's old enough that you may have to drag that library to the desktop and open it with the Finder.  Then drag the subfolders from the Originals folder into your open iPhoto 9 library window to import.

  • IPhoto crashed. When reopened, 70  some events were grayed out (no photos).  Restored iPhoto library from Time Machine, fewer grayed events.  Said yes to a msg on fixing library, 3K more photos. Still wrong.  What next to do?

    iPhoto crashed. When reopened, 70+  some events were grayed out (no photos).  Restored iPhoto library from Time Machine, fewer grayed events.  Said yes to a msg on fixing library, 3000 more photos. Still wrong.  What next to do?

    Do you still have the library that you were using when the crash occurred?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Why does my exported swf show more content than actually on frame?

    Why does my exported .swf show more content than actually on frame?
    My problem is relatively simple, though, I had some trouble finding a solution to it:
    When I play my exported animation using flash player in Google Chrome, if the window is bigger than the resolution flash document/frame, it shows content not meant to show up on the frame -- like parts of a huge background that aren't supposed to show up yet.
    In other words, how do I constraint the .swf to the white background/document resolution?

    Anyone? I'd appreciate it if someone replied soon -- I am done with my project once this issue is resolved, and I am excited to publish it.
    Please respond if you have any useful knowledge on the matter!
    Thanks!

  • Accidentally uploaded entire photo library - 18,000 photos - to one Book. How do I get them out???

    Help! I accidentally uploaded my entire photo library -- 18,000 photos -- to the Book I am working on. Now everything runs slow, and I can't figure out how to get them out quickly. It takes several seconds to just delete one photo. I don't want to delete the entire book, because I already spent a lot of time laying out 30 pages. How do I get rid of all the extra photos from the book?

    Four  choices
    1 - delete the book and start over
    2 - delete the extra photos in the book
    3 - resotore your backup from before you did this
    4 - leave them in the book and ignore the extras

    I think you can only see the map.  To see the actual EXIF data you would need to export and use a viewer.

  • My harddisk info shows more free space as it has capazity

    hi everyone,
    my harddisk info shows more free space as it has capazity!
    Even after using the harddisk-tool to repair rights and catalog
    the info below the harddrive shows more GB than it's own size.
    This also appears in the info-window (command - i )
    749,GB size of HD / 765,16 GB free
    But the information about the harddrive shown in the harddrive-repair-tool
    seems to be right, and shows approx. 600GB free of the 750GB harddrive ...
    I'am a bit worried and are looking for a solution to repair this ...
    best, boschma

    thx for answering ;-)
    yes, I did, under FIRST AID as well ... no positive result
    thx for the tipp about 'Disk Warrior'
    I will try that - update to follow ...
    edit:
    oops - that's a lot of money to pay for 'Disk Warrior'.
    maybe there are any other utilities? tipps? tricks?

  • Iphone shows more photos in storage than in the photos app

    I have an iPhone 6 with 33 photos locally saved and 0 videos. but when I look at my storage under the settings app it shows 2.3Gb of storage being used for photo library. when using my pc to look at the DCIM folder it shows only the 33 photos with  a size of 44M but ITunes sees 2.4Gb and 471 photos. just trying to figure out why 33 pictures are taking up 2.3Gb

    Oops, meant to reply to you and replied to the OP, my bad. Anyway, I already did that (multiple times) on my phone and on my computer and no luck. Here are some screencaps of whatever the heck is going on with my phone. As you can see, I only have 15 photos in my Photo Library, which is turned off in my iCloud settings, but my Storage indicates I have 1.2 gigs (584 photos according to my iTunes storage summary) worth of photos? So confused.

  • Photos app uploading more items than in library

    I have been having a lot of trouble trying to upload my library to iCloud, I saw one solution that said to repair the Photos library by holding Command and Option at the same time then launching Photos, once the repair was done it seems like the upload has started again but this time its saying it is uploading 19,500+ photos when I only have 17,100 in my library. How could this be?

    Thank you for all your responses. It's good to know that I am not alone in this.
    Something far worse happened to me recently with the Photos app. I noticed in System Preferences > iCloud > Photos, there was an option to "Delete and Disable" iCloud Photo Library (hereinafter "IPL") completely. It sounded to me like this would delete all of my photos from IPL so that I could get a clean start and retry the upload from my pristine Photos app library.
    Lo and behold, when I did that, IPL somehow sent a signal to Photos that all of my photos needed to be downloaded, so it duplicated literally thousands of photos in a library that I had carefully pruned in Aperture throughout the years. Not only that, but it deleted half of my library! It went from 130 GB to 62 GB in a matter of minutes with no warning, confirmation, or even an informational dialog box. What a disaster this iCloud Photo Library has proven to be.
    Thank God, I have a good backup plan and everything can be restored, but I've learned my lesson and have come to the following conclusions:
    1. iCloud Photo Library is a disaster in its current state. This beta is not ready for public testing.
    2. The best way (at least for me) to use Photos app now, is to turn off iCloud Photo Library, but keep the option for the Photo Stream on. That option automatically feeds all new photos from my iOS devices into Photos, which is almost perfect. Unfortunately, Photo Stream does not support videos, however. So, for videos, I simply connect my iPhone and Photos app does a good job of recognizing all of the new videos that need to be imported. With this setup, I can benefit from the Photos app, get all of my new photos and videos imported, and avoid the hassle that is known as the iCloud Photo Library.
    I hope this experience helps someone in the future.

  • Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

    The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
    Many thanks!

    You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

  • Photo library shows multiple "Last Import" albums after upgrade

    Following my upgrade to IOS6, the photo library now shows 3 blank Last Import albums, the ones created when you use the camera import connector. I tried to reset photo syncs to correct the problem, but they still remain.
    Having imported an event, one of the 3 Last Import albums is now populated with pictures. The issue remains that there is the clutter of the two blank ones which seem to linger and probably will always be there unless there is some way to reset this.
    So the question is, has anyone else seen this issue and how can it be corrected. I have not seen any other similar postings on this problem.

    And then I finally located the answer and although a bit of a pain, this corrected the problem.
    Solution:   (Only practical with a few empty folders)
    Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
    Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad.  Import the images but keep them on the card.
    Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.
    Delete photos from Iphoto.
    Repeat several times and you should notice that each time one more Last Import album vanishes from the Ipad.
