In trouble with photos on iPad, i now have 3 copies of everything ?

hi all, i have today been getting a folder prepared on my MacBookPro, this folder consisting of about 10 folders all full of photos, i have gone through them all making sure there were NO duplicates anywhere.
i then Sync to iPad the contents of this folder, and hundreds of photos
ok, i then look to see what happened on iPad, all the folders i created are there, now calling themselves "albums" and contain single copies of all the photos that were on my MacBookPro.
i then click on the TAB "photos" and lo and behold i have three copies of every photo under the "photos" tab !!!!!!!!
I am guessing that it is because i have SYNCed three times today, not really knowing what i was doing, BUT i understood, that when i do carry out a SYNC like this all photos are deleted on iPad !!!!
Happily Photo Stream doesnt look to be affected !!!

The photos that are in the iPhoto app are the same as in the Photos app (iPhoto is looking at the Photos albums) - so you've only got one copy of the photos, but both apps are looking at that copy.

Having trouble transferring photos fron iPad to PC. I have done this before using lightning to USB but now won't recognise photos

Having trouble transferring photos frm iPad to PC. Have done it before using lightening to USB but sine update to iOS7 it says there are no photos

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I am having trouble deleting photos from iPad that we're ported from PC. Already deleted from PC but still showing up on iPad following sync

Tap and hold your finger on the X
You should get a message in some cases that it will delete your stored app data - say OK if you want to proceed
The wiggle mode should stop with a press of the home button - not a hard reset

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it? I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion. Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html. Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums and viewing photos after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos. However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

Help!! I just synchronised my iphone 4 with my computer and I now have NO CONTACTS on my phone..how do I get them back!!!

Help......I just synchronised my iphone 4 with my laptop and i now have no contacts on my phone....it scrubbed the lot (thousands!)....how do I get them back!!

i have seen a lot of people do this when they impatiently disconnect the iphone before completing and update.
Simple restore the iphone from your last back up.
right click on the device in iTunes and select restore from backup.

Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7. The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8). For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work. However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things! Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

I was going to buy monthly CC because I thought my CS6 license had expired and then it updated my creative suite 6 too. Do I now have 2 versions of everything? Do I need to have both?

It sounds like the Cloud managed to work its way into your system and take over the CS6 applications. If you are happy with CS6 and don't want to afford the Cloud your license is likely as good as ever. You just need to get the Cloud's claws out of your system.
See if the following helps get you there...
How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1584746
Aside: I was trying to update one of my CS6 applications thru the Application Manager last week and I decided afterwards I would try to update the manager since it seemed to get stuck. I clicked a prompt without reading closely, turned away and returned to find the Application Manager was replaced with the Cloud Manager... which I guess is the latest update for it. A similar thing happened on my previous machine and I was not happy with it because my other machine was not spec'd for the Cloud and it ended up resetting all my preferences. So this time I immediately uninstalled it and decided I can live without it. If I need any updates I'll look for them myself.

Just updated - now have multiple copies of Ps and Lr

I just finished updating using the CC app. I now have two copies of Lr and a copy of Ps/cc and Ps/cc 2014. Should I uninstall one of the Lr copies? Should I uninstall Ps/cc and Keep Ps/cc 2014?

WDKlein1000, Yes you can uninstall the older versions of Lr & PS CC as you already have the latest versions. So, no need to keep both unless you want to for various purposes.

How can I import photos edited with Photos on iPad to iPhoto on Mac, including all edits??

During a long vakantion trip, I took many pictures and imported them in Photos on my iPad. And during the trip I edited many photos: croppig, changing colors and brightness, etc.
Now back home, I would like to import all these photos into iPhoto on my Mac, including all the edits of course.
I imported a few hundred and saw at once that the edits were not imported completely and not correctly (probably most is not imported).
Can anyone please advise how this should be done.
Thank you very much,
Frans

Making a trip, I import, select and edit pictures, as I have the time to do so. So, when I come back home, I expect importing to the Mac and reviewing only.
You are caught in the transit. If you still had iOS 7, that would have been no problem. Your edits in iPhoto on the iPad would have transferred to the Mac, and you would even have been able to undo the Camera filters. Unfortunately, iOS 8 is ahead of the photo applications on the Mac. The sidecar files with the edits transfer to the mac, but no software that I know of can read them. It will be better in a few month.
Do you know of any other application which can be used on both, iOS and OS X, to edit photos??
Right now, the only app I know is Pixelmator.
Pixelmator on the iPad can save and open files on iCloud Drive. But you would need to upgrade your Mac to Yosemite to use the new Pixelmator for Mac and to be able to access iCloud Drive from the Mac.
