Duplicate photo albums on my phone??

When I create an album for my photos to go on my iphone, why does the phone create a duplicate album?

Well we can't be dealing with imaginings down here in West Clare, now can we
The problem is your question is vague. How did you sync to your phone? What settings? Does this Album mirror an Event? Have you synced both? What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? and the OS on the Phone?

  • IOS 5 Duplicate Photo Albums

    iOS 5 produces exact duplicate photo albums in my Photos on my iPhone.
    Before syncing photos from my PC I had Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
    In iTunes I configured my iPhone to sync with a folder containing photos, for this example we'll call it FolderX.
    When the iPhone synced with that folder it created TWO albums, one called FolderX and one called Photo Library and they BOTH have the EXACT same photos.
    So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, and FolderX with the last two albums having the precise same number of the exact same photos.
    I do not need this. I do not need two photo albums with the exact same pics. Why on God's green Earth would they make it do this?
    When I click the "edit" button I do not get the option to to do anything to the albums except the FolderX album, and it only has the option to move it, but alas, it really doesn't let you move it even though the button is there.
    I have already deleted all iPhone and iPod photo cache folders and resynced.
    What do I need to do to have only one album on my iPhone with my photos, and not two?

    Yeah this is REALLY frustrating.  It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5.  I've managed to figure out how to get rid of the duplicate photo albums by making a new folder outside the iPhone folder on my PC which is located in "My Pictures" on my computer.  I moved all the pictures from my actual iPhone to this new backup folder plus copied what was in the iPhone folder on my PC. 
    Once I was sure I had backed up all my pictures taken with my iPhone I deleted everything in the "iPhone" folder on my PC including the iPhone Cache folder.  I synced from the folder "iPhone" which was now empty & it made the duplicate albums disappear. 
    I tried syncing from the backup folder to using iTunes & WHAM duplicate photo albums again!!! All the same pictures but now one had the name "Photo Album" & the other duplicate was named the folder that I synced from.  IRRITATING!!!!
    So I got rid of the duplicate albums by deleting everything in the iPhone folder on my PC & syncing from that folder chosen in iTunes.  It's a drag that I can't load up my pictures to enjoy or share without duplicate albums showing up.  I want to be able to put pictures from my computer to "Camera Roll" which allows me to delete whatever I don't want easily.
    I hate that Apple has made this iCloud thing so duplicate folders show up on my phone without my ability to just delete pictures from those albums or delete the albums easily from my phone.
    FIX FIX FIX it Apple!
    I should also note that I never allowed iCloud services on my iPhone & have NOT downloaded the service to my computer either.  I don't want anything to do with iCloud.

  • How do you delete a photo album off your phone that doesn't have the delete option available? and the photos section on iTunes has no photos synced?

    so I have an iPhone 4s and a while back I put a photo album on my phone, but now I cannot delete it!! The delete option isn't there to do it on my device and I have tried unchecking the synced photos button on iTunes and that doesn't work, I just want them off my phone.

    If unchecking and syncing in iTunes doesn’t work, you may have to use a third party tool like iPhone PC suite. With it, you can delete the photos and videos in Camera Roll, pictures in apps, pictures transferred from computer to iPhone and more. Use “Crtl + A” (for Windows) or “Command + A” (for Mac) to select all the pictures in an album and delete them, the album will disappear automatically.

  • TS4062 On my Iphone I have 1-Camera roll, two Photo Libraries, and 1 delete.  I cannot get rid of the Photo albums off the phone.  I cannot take things off my Iphone using the itunes because it doesn't pull the Iphone up.

    Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

  • How to transfer an entire photo album from my phone to my computer?

    how to transfer an entire photo album from my phone to my computer?

    If you're refering to anything other than the camera roll, you don't. Photo sync is one way. The photos in the camera roll are the only ones you can export to your computer. Everything else (except for Photo Stream, which comes from the cloud) had to come from your computer to begin with and should still be there.

  • How do I delete photo albums from my phone that came from my computer? I have a 5S

    How do I erase photo albums on my phone that came from my computer

    Connect the iPhone to the computer with iTunes running, select the iPhone in the device pane, select the Photo tab in iTunes, deselect the checkmark for the photos that you want to remove and perform a sync.
    Photos that have been synced from the computer can only be removed by the sync process.

    First of all, there is only 1 picture in my Camera Roll, why does it say 3?
    This is a known issue that third party software like phoneview can fix.
    Second, is there any way to remove the "Photo Library" from the Albums, or is that something we have to keep?
    No. Your photos are not actually duplicated, this is just a pointer to the photos in the various albums you have synced.
    If it's something we must keep, can we at least change the icon next to it so it's not the flower?
    No.

  • Can't remove a photo album from my phone

    When I switched from Android to my iPhone 4S, I somehow ended up with a photo album called "Android pics" on the iPhone that contains photos that had previously existed on my Galaxy.  I want to remove them from my phone.  I can select the individual images, but there is no "Delete" like there is in the Camera Roll or Photo Stream.  If I select "Edit" from the Albums page, the Camera Roll and Photo Streams gray out but I still can't select on the Android folder.  What have I done and how on earth do I go about removing that album?

    Connect the phone to your computer. Click on its name in iTunes, then click the Photos tab (on the right). Uncheck the folder containing the photos, then click Sync or Apply, whichever shows at the bottom of the screen.

  • How do I delete photo albums from my phone?

    There are photo albums which have synced to my phone when I connected it to my computer.  I do not want these albums on my phone since they take up a lot of memory.  How do I delete these albums?  For some reason it is not as straight forward as deleting a photo from the camera roll.  Please help.

  • Duplicate photo albums

    Hi,
    Just a quick one. When I select the following:
    1. one of my Apple TV's in the iTunes 'DEVICES' list
    2. the 'Photos' tab for that device
    3. the 'Sync photos from iPhoto' radio button (selecting iPhoto from the drop down)
    4. the 'Selected albums' radio button
    I see not only a list of the albums I've created in iPhoto but also a list of created and published web galleries. These web galleries have the same name as the albums so I'm getting duplicates.
    Anyone know of anyway of not showing the web galleries here and thus getting rid of the duplicates?
    Regards
    Stew

    I'm having the same problem. Any solutions?

  • I have two photo albums in my phone that I want to delete and I can't through the edit option or itunes, how can I delete them, they are taking up too much space on my phone?

    Help, I have two albulms that I'm having trouble deleting through my phone and itunes.

    Hi
    If the Photoalbums were loaded from iTunes on a computer they can only be removed by Itunes and a computer. 
    If the albums were created on your iPhone then they are deleted on your iPhone,
    Ih tyey are iTunes sourced albums you need to connect back up to iTunes/computer  that you have been using.  In the device  Photo tab deselect all the checkboxes that are being asked to sync.
    Select apply in the lower right corner.

  • IOS 8: Why can I no longer reorganize my photo albums on the phone?

    This update while removing Photo Stream and Camera roll which I see people are asking about has also arbitrarily reorganized the ALBUMS on my photos and does not allow me to change that organization...I DO NOT want videos or SLOW mo up at the top of my albums.  I want my family and friends etc.  In the old version you could drag these above or below as needed.  WE NEED THIS FIXED.
    Separately - the update completely wiped the photos from my IPAD and the iPAD is running like CRAP.  This was the worst update ever thus far - the reason I say this is its actually the first time I've every felt I had to take the time to complain.

    I Have the same issue I was on the phone with Apple care for 2 hours the give some advice but it didn't help I have lost more than 200 photo due to this issue and my iPad is really slow and am not able to send any photo to my family though what's app or viber cos YA don't get camera album or ect you only get recently added this need to be fix

  • Help! why can't i sync my entire photo album onto my phone?

    I used to sync my entire photos in iphoto onto my iphone 3. Now that i have changed to iphone 4, it can only sync some of my photos.
    IT says, ' It says: "Some of your photos, including the photo “DSC04441.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “adeleheng’s iPhone” because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone.''

    I had this same problem and was able to resolve it using the following steps.  I don't know if you need to do all of them, but this is what I did that works.  I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and an iPhone 4.  I hope that these work for you!
    (1) Disconnent iPhone from computer
    (2) In the Sync options in iTunes uncheck sync photos
    (3) Close iTunes
    (4) Go to your file manager (for Windows it is Windows Explorer) and go to all of the folders where you have tried to sync photos from.  There will be iPhone (or i something) Cache.  Delete these folders.  All of them that you can find.
    (5) Re-launch iTunes and connect your iPhone
    (6) In iTunes go to the Sync options and reselect photos (or the specific folders)
    (7) Click "Apply"
    (8) When it asks if you want to remove all of the photos that are currently on your phone (it won't touch your camera roll) say yes
    (9) Resync and all photos should be there
