Why does my iTunes show more photos than I really do on my device?

I only have 493 photos on my device but my iTunes shows that I have 644 and a lot of memory is used because of that? Any reason why this happens and how I might be able to delete the extra photos?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

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.

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.

Why does my iTunes show apps in two different groups?

When I open my iTunes 10 and look at the Apps tab, it shows my iPhone and iPad apps distributed amongst two different groups: iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Apps and iPhone and iPod Touch apps. I don't really understand this as I don't have a iPad. An I only loaded a few apps to my iPod Touch years ago. Seems to me that the Listing should be showing apps sorted by the "Authorized Devices" to which they have been installed.
Another complication is that I have two Apple Store accounts...my US account from when I bought my first iPod Touch while living in the US and then a Thai account since I am living in Thailand and it makes payment easier. Isn't there a way to see the apps loaded into my Library sorted by Apple Store account??
Apple software is becoming more and more like the Microsoft products we all love to hate. Sadly, ease of use for the user is out the door. It's why I continue to use iTunes 10 and OS 10.6.8...stable and I know what I get and don't get already :-?
Thanks for the feedback.

You got it right. Thank you.

Why does my iPhone show some photos full size and some scaled?

Hi,
I have got a collection of DVDs and syncronized a folder with all cover pictures to my iPhone 5.
When looking at them with the "photo" app, some covers are shown full-size, some are
shown scaled. The scaled ones are shown at maximum height, so that I don't see the
whole cover on the 16:9 screen.
All covers are JPG having a similar size (760x1080px), with no EXIF/IPTC tags and
different dpi (tried different settings but saw no change).
Does anyone know, how the iPhone decides to show pictures scaled or not?
Thanks for a hint, regards
Christian
"full" vs. "scaled"

HT201516 can iphoto just disappear? Why does my computer show no photos?

I Was trying to look at photos and iPhoto had just disappeared from my computer and seemingly so had my 30,0000 photos stored on my external hardrive. I am running MacKeeper and seem to have started to recover them. I tried to download iPhoto again and it said It couldn't run on less than OSX 10.10 whereas I have 10.9.5. When I have recovered my pictures I will update the OS. Can I update it now while the recovery is happening? And can I download iPhoto while recovering the photos? Has anyone experience of this?

The first thing to do is get rid of MacKeeper.

Is the iPhoto application in your Applications folder and does it open? If not, do you have a backup you can restore the application from? iLife disks?
iPhoto 9.3
Can you see the iPhoto Library on the external drive? How are you recovering the photos?
Before upgrading, I suggest you try to get iPhoto straightened out.

Why does indows takes up more space than it needs?

This is the third computer I have installed Windows 7 on since using Bootcamp and for a second time I have run into a wierd glitch.
After partitioning the internal drive with 65Gb for Windows, I installed Windows 7 and everything went smoothly as always, however.
When checking the remaining space on C: in windows it says I only have 23Gb of space left. This means that the Windows installation alone has taken up 42Gb!!!!!! Why? This has happened before and I have not been able to find anyone else with the same problem.
Should I reinstall windows?
Using Macbook Pro Retina.

Your math and the lack of details of how and why. I and others here generally recommend a 48GB minimum for Windows 7 64-bit.
If you don't control the page and hibernation file those alone can eat up twice your RAM or 16GB and up.
The core of Windows can take 22GB.
My systems generally use 34GB
run disk cleanup: system files. The install leaves behind a 1.2GB file and then run CCleaner regularly. You can clean out 4GB afterwards.
The partition needs about 10-12GB just for all the initial updates - Windows 7 is close to 3 yrs now and even SP1 was over a year ago. That temp space needs to be rhere and is just overhead
SSD will want 10GB for TRIM and Garbage Collection to perform properly.
60GB even for an SSD is $1/GB, even less for standard drives.
And then there are the people that need to use CampTune to resize their partition. Or someone that didn't plan and made it too small and cannot login after setup. Or didn't leave 20%/20GB or more for Mac HFS to function.

Why does FF 4 show as OLDER than FF for Mac 3.6.16?

Currently running FF 3.6.16 on Mac OS 10.6.7. Downloaded FF 4. When sought to move to Applications folder, got message that FF 4 is OLDER than the FF already in the folder. What is going on? I have not installed, awaiting clarification on this. Is FF 4 actually still beta?
I'm concerned that if version date recognition is in error, other coding may also be faulty.

Mozilla are currently creating updates for 3 different versions of Firefox, you only need to install updates for the version of Firefox that you are using. In your case only install updates for Firefox 4.0
The updates for Firefox 3.6.16 was created after Firefox 4.0, but it is only needed for those people who are using Firefox 3.6

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.

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

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!

Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

Why does my itunes store show up in Kanji/Japanese when my language and country selections are in English?

I'd like to add one more thing. I need to update my iPod as I'm using version 1.0.2 PC -- Before I do this, I'd like to back up my iPod. As I noted above, I am afraid of doing something and accidentally wiping out my iPod (since that's where everything seems to be).

Why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.

why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
i don't know why...

Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
