Empty Photos app, but 3.8GB in Photo Library
All photos and videos that used to be in the Photos app on my iPad mini (iOS 8.1.2, 16 GB) have been deleted; both the "Camera Roll" and "Recently Deleted" albums are empty. This was confirmed by a separate Photo Transfer App. However, in the settings under General>Usage>Manage Storage it shows that "Photos & Camera" is using 3.8GB in the Photo Library. Under General>About it shows there are 4 videos and 32 photos on the iPad mini somewhere. In iTunes, it shows there are 36 "photos" that take up 3.77GB. The videos were created with the iPad mini camera and deleted more than a month ago by direct deletion from the Photos app followed by direct deletion from the "Recently Deleted" album. Does anyone know where those 4 videos and 32 photos are located and how they can be deleted? In case it helps to know, I do not use iCloud, or the Messages and FaceTime apps. Thanks in advance.
I found the answer by trying different suggestions in other posts. The suggestion that worked in this case was to download iExplorer (available at http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) onto my laptop and follow the instructions at http://iexplorer-support.macroplant.com/customer/portal/articles/1325738-how-to- delete-all-photos-from-an-iphone-or-ipad. It worked by just using the demo version of iExplorer. Another possible solution suggested in other posts that did not work in this case was to use iTunes to sync "photos" from an empty folder on the laptop with the iPad mini.

ICloud Photo Library won't sync all photos
I've enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Macs & iOS devices... and have noticed that all my photos are not being sync'ed to iCloud... and the ones in iCloud are not being sync'ed to all my devices. (I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3 on the Macs and iOS 8.3 on the iPad/iPhone.)
In my master Library on my iMac, I have 20,233 Photos and 344 Videos. According to the Photos app, all have been uploaded to iCloud.
However, according to iCloud - only about half of those photos are uploaded.
(I have plenty of storage on iCloud... I have paid for 200GB and am only using about 40GB.)
On my Macbook - I started the Photos app with an empty photo library, and then turned on iCloud Photo Library. On that computer, it reports a different number of photos - 9,923 photos. And, it too is supposedly "updated completely"
When I browse the Photos on an iOS device, it's about the same as the MacBook - but not exactly.
Anyone have any ideas here? I would expect all the photos from the iMac to show up on all devices.
Is there a log file somewhere I can examine to understand what is being uploaded and what isn't?
Thanks!I managed to fix the problem articulated above. I think only photos that are copied into your Photos Library can be synced via iCloud. And, the approximately ~10,000 photos missing from iCloud were not in my Library.
On the iMac Photos Library, I selected all the photos (Cmd-A) and choose File->Consolidate from the menu... and this popup emerges:
I clicked "Copy" which apparently copies all the original images from my Pictures folder into the iCloud Library itself. Once this was done ... it uploaded missing files. Now - on all my devices I see the exact same number of photos and videos. -
I tried downloading iPhoto library manager as suggested by a pervious post, but even with Safari and Firefox it will not download. The dmg image disappears before I can click on it and I get a command that says "it does not work with this architecture". I'm using a G-5 Power PC Mac running OS 10.5.8. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Likely that is for IntelMacs only.
If the iPhoto Library was ever "touched" by a later version of iPhoto, then you get the can't open message.
Create a new photo library
Quit iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
In the window that appears, click Create New.
Type a name and choose a location to store the new photo library.
Click Save. The iPhoto Source list shows your new, empty photo library. Any photos you import are added to this library. You can switch to another library you’ve created at any time.

I have an old Minimac with a 100GB HD. I run Time Machine to an external HD. I want to update my Lion software but need 8GB of HD capacity to do this. I only have 5GB. My photo library is 4GB so since this is backed up I deleted this to Trash. But I still have only 5GB of capacity on the HD. Why ?
You need to empty the trash to get the space back.

I have my photos in iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -

I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad. When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames. What do I need to do to order this book??????
Thanks so much for any help offered!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side : -
My problem started after installing "smartsync app" which is supposed to sync my phone with the profilepage photos of my friends in facebook. All my apps crashed after using them for awhile.While using my apps, they will black out after a little while and the phone returns to the starting page. I have removed the smartsync app but my phone still behaves the same way. At the same time the dates that accompany my messages changed to another language. How can these be rectified?
Eek. Sounds like something in the app caused some serious software issues. You can try a hard reset, but I'd imagine you're probably going to have to do an iTunes restore to get it running right again.

Trying to make a Xmas Card in iPhoto on my Mac i5. When card is made I hit "Buy Card", but I get "card incomplete" because it says there are empty photo templates that haven't been filled. Only I have filled them all!. There are no empty ones left to fill! Now what?
Thanks for the help.Only I have filled them all!. There are no empty ones left to fill! Now what?
Some text do look like they were final texts, that cannot be filled, but they are also place holders, for example the "Season's Greetings".Have you really clicked on each and every text, to see if they need filling in? -

We are just about to purchase an iphoto book but received the message that we had one or more empty photo frames. We have gone over each page several times and found no empty frames. We cannot purchase the book because we cannot get beyond this message. Any ideas on how to rectify this situation?
So far every time this erros has occured it has been correct - the most difficult one to find is a full page photo layout behind a full page photo - this is hard to find - click here for a discussion on how to find it

i have downloaded the app game your video but i cant save the videos to my photo library and i cant enable permission because it doesn't appear in privacy settings
If you have not provided access, you can do so by going to default Settings app > Privacy > Photos and switch ON Game Your Video.
Game Your Video saves all videos to its own library. To sync to Camera Roll, simply go to Library and tap on Multiple selection button. Now select the videos to copy and tap on Sync button in the bottom bar. (See screenshot attached)
But you still have some issues, just email it to their support team: [email protected]
Also update the app. Game Your Video 2.0 is available on the App Store. -
my phone said that i dont have the storage space to take anymore photos or download anymore apps, but i just purchased another 10 gigs....what's going on?
Transfer your photos & videos from your iPhone to your computer. Then, delete those photos & videos from your iPhone to make more space.
