Ios 8 photos app won't stop syncing

Recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 and iOS 8. When I open the Photos app, it always has a Syncing..... indicator at the bottom and won't stop. I have tried disabling Photo Stream and iCloud photo albums and doing a hard restart. I also deleted out many old photos that appear to have been corrupted during the upgrade.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.

Still not fixed after upgrading to 8.1.
Also, I tried enabling iCloud Photo (Beta) and got an interesting message: Syncing would begin once the restore from backout was complete. This is interesting because I do not use iCloud for backup and the settings are turned off.
Help?!?

IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

Hi,
When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?

This is such a cluster-f*ck. I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto. Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is. This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority. Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this.
What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto. I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this. Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword. I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad.
Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

IOS 5 Photo App chrashes.

iOS 5 Photo App chrashes.
What can I do now.
I also restored the iPhone.
Please help me !!!

Wish I had an answer... I may be having the same problem. A few weeks after installing iOS 5, I started noticing that the pictures I was taking were looking really pixelated and bad. Thought something was wrong with the camera. Then some photos started disappearing, replaced with either blackness or a fuzzy-looking gray photo frame. Then the ap started to freeze while scrolling. Then my albums started to shuffle the order around. Now some albums just disappear temporarily. I'm still able to sync photos to my Mac, but I just erase them from my phone, because they're useless there now.
Is this similar to what you've been experiencing?

Also, I can't import my photos to my Windows 7 PC.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

Ios 7, photos app, push pin

Hello all. In the iOS 7 Photos app, how can I get back the Push Pins in the map? iOS 6, had the "Places" that showed you push pins. Perfect for showing off where I took the photos on the map. Now, in iOS 7, it displays photos..... Anyone know of a workaround or another app that does this?

Maybe this screenshot will help. This is what I'm talking about.

Editing with the iOS 8 Photos app strips EXIF data from photos.

The new iOS 8 Photos app has some nice editing features and extensions from other apps is a good idea, however any editing done strips out all of the EXIF data from the photo.

I have the same problem. It's awful; if you edit and upload georeferencing and other stuff is lost. Fail.
It didn't strip it when I edited in Snapseed and then saved back to the photo library.

Why does photos app in ipad keep syncing for pictures?

I was syncing some photos and decided to stop because it was taking too long and now it keeps on trying to sync the remaining 900+ pictures all the time. Can I shut it off? I think this is draining my batteries. I have tried turning off photo sharing and because I thought maybe it's trying to sync from my other ipad but that didn't work. Anyone with the same problem that has found a solution? I will continue to look for a solution.

Ok fair enough. So it's changed from when it was in Beta in Lion then?
I just did a test and it didn't kick in. A notification came up, which I clicked and that launched Messages, which is fine. But if you ignore the notification, it just remains in the notification centre to the right. Which obviously if I click on it launches so thats fine as well. But the app itself doesnt launch when I get an iMessage sent to me.
Cheers for replying though.

IOS 8 Photos App keeps crashing...What to do???

As soon as i open the iOS 8 Camera Roll / Gallery photos app, it just crashes, What could i do to ???

Try a Restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Why is the new iOS 8 photo app slow handling photo raw files

I Have been importing my photos to ipad using the camera kit since the first iPad was released.
Originally I only imported JPEG, however as my photographic interest grew I switched to photo raw.
I have since being importing and edit pentax PEF photo raw files through the various versions of iOS, however since this new version the experience of editing and viewing my photos is slow, and unpleasant.
Choose a photo to view, and a blurry picture appears, and a second or 3 and the blurry images clears and I can view my photo, now swipe left to the next picture and the photos move as they should then stick half of the first picture is shown and half of the second, wait 2 / 3 seconds and the second picture is revealed, blurry, and wait another second or to and it clears. It carries on in this fashion, and it turns a pleasant experience, into a frustrating one.
on previous versions of iOS there would be a small pause as images loaded, but it was always smooth to move from picture to picture.
i Have tried switching to RAW+ hoping that only the attached JPEG would be imported. This did not appear to work with the whole image being imported.
please anyone how can I get back to the iOS photo app that worked better with raw photo files?

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

In new iOS 8 photos app, I am missing photos in photo view that are in album view

All my photos in the iPhoto app on my iMac appear correctly in the album view in the new Photos app on my iPhone 6. However, not all the photos appear in the photos view. To try and get the counts to match, in iTunes, I synced my iPhone after unchecking the syncing of photos. I checked the Photos app on my iPhone and there were no photos. Then I checked to sync all photos in iTunes and synced my iPhone again. Every photo on my iMac was in the album view, but there were still missing photos in the photo view.
Anyone have this problem and a solution?

Thanks for your response. Turns out the iPhotos database was corrupted. I rebuilt it and now the counts match.
I do have summarize photos turned off as you suggested.
But now I have a new problem. I have smart albums in iPhoto on my iMac that correspond to decades. These albums and the photos they contain appear perfectly in the album view on my iPhone 6. However, a few photos in the photos view appear with the wrong date. So I'm working on resolving this.

IPod Shuffle refuses to eject; won't stop syncing.

I have a 2nd Generation iPod Shuffle and a Windows 8 laptop.
My iPod is stuck in an infinite syncing loop. I can plug it in, and it'll sync with iTunes, but then even after it's finished syncing with iTunes, it still flashes as if it's syncing, and iTunes won't let me eject it because it says it's in use with another program--I can't imagine what.
It'll charge while it's flashing, but if I remove it without ejecting--which I have to, because it won't eject--the next time I plug it in, it won't flash OR charge, and the computer won't even recognize that it exists, although iTunes will still recognize it.
Then I have to restart the iPod Service on my laptop to get it to charge again, but doing so makes it flash again, and refuse to be ejected again, ad infinitum.
I don't know what could possibly be latching onto my iPod. I recently reset this laptop to factory defaults and the only thing I've installed since the rest are iTunes, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), and Microsoft Office.
I guess it's not unusable, since it seems I can kind of get around it by resetting the iPod Service every single time, but that's kind of a pain.

It never stops syncing. I've been syning it for 6 hours and it hasn't finished with no sign of stopping. There are no errors and it doesn't have any messages of what it is syncing.

IOS 8 Photos App losing metadata after editing photo

Since the iOS 8 update, every time I edit a photo with new editing Tools or with the new 3rd party app editing fonction I lose the photos Metadata's like location, date & time or other exif informations. I realize that they are missing once I open those photos in different application. All metadata / exif information disappeared only for the photos I edited in the Photos App, even if I have only rotated the picture.
Does anybody has a solution for this problem?

Try going into Settings/Photos & Camera and toggle My Photo Stream OFF and ON. From what I have read, this has successfully caused other peoples Photo Stream (in the combined "Recent" Album) to repopulate. See if that works for you.

Photo app (Mac) doesn't sync with iCloud

Hi All,
I have taken couple of pictures at home with my iphone which are in my iphone photo library and have by now also made it to the iCloud online.
However, when I start the photo app on my Mac (OS Yosemite) these photos are still not there. While I expect that they should be there instantly, they have had now couple of hours (within a wifi network) to be synced.
(Having a flawless synchronisation between apple devices was one of my key factors why I have bought an app. However, this hardly every works.)
Does anyone know how I can force the photo app only my Mac to refresh and thus get the latest pictures from iCloud?
I would much appreciate any help!
Many thanks
Alpha

Make sure you have ticked Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud.
You may need to sign out of iCloud and then back in again to "jumpstart " the syncing.
