HT1386 Photo albums replacing each other after syncing

There's something wrong with my photos when ever I sync them into my iPod touch (5th gen). Let's say I upload album A into my iPod, everything is fine and I can see the album in my Photo app. Then I upload album B, the album replaces album A! And vice versa if I want to upload back album A! What's going on? What can I do to save all my albums and not let them replace each other?

You can only Sync one photos folder with the iPod Touch.
However - the solution is simple.
Create a folder named (for example) "Touch Pictures". (Name it whatever you prefer.)
Drag and drop album A (which presumably is a folder of its own) into the "Touch Pictures" folder.
Drag album B into the "Touch Pictures" folder. (You now have two sub-folders inside the Touch pictures folder.)
Sync iPod with your iTunes Library.
On a subsequent occasion, add album C to the "Touch Pictures" folder.
Sync iPod with your iTunes Library.
When you look at Photos on your iPod Touch, you will now see separate "folders":
Photo Library
album A
album B
album C
The first one - Photo Library will contain every picture as one folder. The other "folders" - album A, album B and album C will each contain only the pictures for that folder.
On my 2nd generation Touch, the list also displays the number of pictures in the folder, but I believe later version of the iOS have dropped this.

    If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • How or can I insert a picture to an exsisting photo album in between other pictures?

    How or can I insert a picture to an exsisting photo album in between other pictures?

    The easiest is to use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro; you can drag pictures to any position.

  • Photo albums messed up again after update

    Once again, after an iOS update, the last 12 months and last imported photos albums showed up on the phone even though the boxes are not checked in iTunes before or after those updates.
    As the with last time, the only way to remove those two albums was to sync an older iPhoto library, then re-sync the current iPhoto library as a replacement.
    That clears the two, unwanted albums, but why have the last two iOS updates cause this problem?

    Hi,
    I think the easiest way to fix this is go into iTunes and rename all the tracks in your "Greatest Hits" albums with unique album names, e.g "Black Lace Greatest Hits" and "Greatest Hits - The Sweet" etc. You can even be as subtle as just adding a "." or hyphen or extra space, it will make the name different and your Touch will be able to distinguish different albums.
    The Albums should then sort them selves out after a synch.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • How do I get the new photos albums from my imac to sync to my iphone?

    Last week my iMac did the software update that replaced iPhoto on my iMac with the new Photos application.
    Since then, I have migrated all my iphoto library to the Photos library and have been able to further sort my photos in the albums area.
    I have backed up my iPhone 6, and then completed a sync so it would be updated accordingly with the photos app as opposed to the previous iPhoto app. In iTunes everything looks fine, in Photos everything looks fine, and there was a bit of a hiccup once or twice with trying to complete the sync process (although I imagine this was simply due to the mere nature of the number of images have to sync as I do photography and I model so over 32000 photos to sync). Finally I was able to complete the sync process, and all seemed fine.
    I then went in to Photos app on the iPhone 6, and all the photos are there, all the albums are there, but all the albums are empty even though the photos are on the phone in the photos sections???
    I would really like to know how to get the albums to sync properly to my iPhone 6 from an iMac, does anyone know what to do?
    Also, my iPhone since then has been dropping battery life significantly and getting very warm over short periods of time, but I have had no applications open, the phone has not been in use at the time and has been locked screen.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Synced photos can only be deleted by syncing again with iTunes and deselecting all synced items.

  • How do I solve this problem:Photo's no longer displayed (Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214) in online photo album maker (Webprint.nl) after update to Firefox 29.0.1

    After I (automatically) updated to Mozilla Firefox version 29.0.1, the online photo album crreator of Webprint.nl no longer displayes the photo's that I uploaded.
    The photo's are displayed again when I use an older Firefox browser (version 28.*) from an another computer. This is my old (WIndows Vista) computer that I use when my new Windows 7 computer has problems.
    It looks like the new Firefox has a problem with Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214; which is the newest version according to Adobe.
    Please help!

  • How do I delete a photo album if it has been synced from a computer no longer in use?

    I accidentally synced a couple of photo albums on to my phone on a computer that we are no longer using. I am unable to delete these albums now, and they are taking up too much room

    What happens when you sync photos from the new computer?
    The albums should be deleted when you do this.

  • Album track order incorrect after syncing ...

    i was wondering if someone could help me figure out why, after syncing albums to my iPhone (4S; ioS 5.1.1) some of my albums are listed in correct track order while the tracks on others are listed alphabetically.  the track order is correct when displayed in iTunes.  i'll highlight all the tracks and drag copy them to my iPhone.  but when i view the album on my phone the tracks are listed in alphabetical order.  this only happens to some albums though.  it seems quite random.
    can anyone advise me how to fix it?  i would prefer them to keep in their original playing order.
    thank you for you insight and assistance.

    i too am having this problem. please help

  • IPhone 2.0 shows content as "Other" after syncing

    Upgraded to 2.0 At first all was well. With nothing else changed, when I now try to sync with Itunes 7.7, all music and video content shows as "Other" on the summary tab. On my iPhone, no music or video shows up existing under Playlists, Artists, etc. I have to completely restore my iPhone each time I sync, which takes over 90 minutes. (Even if I unselect playlists, then sync, the original amount of space used by my content still shows as used "Other" space, so I must restore, then add the playlists back in, sync without ever disconnecting my iPhone, then it will be fine until I want to sync again)
    Tech info:
    * Plugged into USB 2.0 port, directly into computer (have even tried different ports)
    *I have uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version of iTunes
    * Windows Vista SP2
    * Not using Exchange - very basic iPhone configuration
    * Have tried resetting iPhone as well

    The space used by my music and video content "turns" into the 6+GB of "Other" after I Sync. Again, once I restore, this 6GB of space is correctly my content, until I sync again.
    So yes, obviously something isn't right. Any suggestions?

  • Help - "All Photos" album cannot be regenerated after accidental deletion

    I accidentally deleted the "All Photos" album in my Aperture db.
    I tried William Lloyd's instructions from another discussion (see here - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7323811&#7323811 )
    ...but that did not work for me:
    all I see now under Library for the built-in albums are these:
    All Projects
    * or better
    Rejected
    In the Last Week

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Try turning on buffering for Scenarion Sales in the table T77OMATTR. This should help solve you issue.

  • "All Photos" album order mixed up after restore (device change)

    I recently had to back up and restore an iPhone 6 to a new iPhone 6.
    I did a full backup to iTunes, then restored to the new iPhone 6 from that backup.
    Everything was restored, including all photos... (I have iCloud Photo Library turned on)... EXCEPT in the "All Photos" default album on my phone, the photos are not in the usual date order.  They are all mixed up, mostly in large consecutive chunks, but with some individual photos randomly dispersed.  No pattern that I can see otherwise.  It looks like: (Jan-Mar 2010)--(Apr 2013-Nov 2013)--(Apr-2010-Feb 2013)--(Dec 2013-Feb 2014)--(Apr 2014-Sep 2014)--(Feb 2015 to today).  Something like that.
    The "Photos" tab, where you see collections, years, etc, is in date order.  On iCloud.com, it is in the right order in the "All Photos" album.  However, it is in the *wrong* order on my iPad, where I also have iCloud Photo Library turned on. 
    What I have tried:
    1) Turning off, then turning back on iCloud Photo Library beta.
    2) Full erase and restore from iCloud
    3) Full erase and restore from a new backup
    One more option would be to try restoring from the backup I made before the new iPhone 6, but then I would lose changes since then (about 2 weeks), and I would rather try to avoid that.
    Has anyone seen this before?  Why is this happening, and what else can I try to fix the order?  I saw another thread about out of order events, but this seems different.

    I have noticed this as well. The actual dates in the meta data of the photos are correct, however they are displaying completely out of order in 'All Photos' in iOS and OSX Photos.
