IPad syncing photo albums help

I have an ipad with about 2300 photos on it. I plugged it in to my computer (windows 8) and copied the photo folders to my computer but it only ended up being about 1300 pictures. It turns out those were only the photos from my "camera roll" album. how can i get the rest of my albums over to my computer, without using itunes if possible?

There is no easy way because those other albums are synced media so the official answer is to obtain those photos from the computer or device you used to put them on the iPad the begin with.
Short of trying to find a third party solution, you can take a screen shot of each photo which will effectively put it into your camera roll for import. Good luck!

  • Synced photo album in ipad cannot be deleted

    Few days ago, I synced a photo ablum into ipad.
    When I want to delete the synced photo album today, I didn't find any albums in itunes.
    However, I found I hv deleted the ipod photo cache folder that ican't delete the photo album.
    So, is there any other ways to delete?
    Thx very much.

    Backing up with iCloud would not backup synced photos anyway. iCloud only works photos that you take with the iPad.
    There are third party WiFi apps that will allow you to transfer the photos back to the Mac. You download the app to both devices and then you can send photos and videos to and from each device.
    I use this one. There are others available in the App Store.

  • Sync Photo Albums Created on iOS to Other Devices

    Is it possible to sync photo albums created on iOS to the Mac or other devices? I know you can sync albums created in iPhoto on the Mac to iOS through iTunes, but I have created albums on iOS and would like to sync them to my Mac and other devices.

    No. But you can share photo streams to Macs and Windows boxes.

  • Can't sync photo albums to iPad after update

    I just updated my ipad2 to 5.0, and am running the current version of iTunes on a windows vista pc. And can not sync my photo albums to my iPad 2. Please help? I tried and while in iTunes , when iPad is connected, the summary page says my photos are on the iPad, they are not actually on the iPad. I go to photos on the iPad and there are outlines of the albums with their names on them, but no pictures inside. Can anyone help please?:)))

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Sync'd and lost photo albums - help!

    I sync'd my iPad Air with my PC before leaving home and added several Albums to my Photos.  I do not have the photos in these albums on my Laptop.  I took some photos on my camera, created a folder on my laptop and copied these new pics into it.  I then sync'd my iPad using my laptop and iTunes with the intent of copying the new folder of pics to the iPad (I selected just that folder in the iTunes sync for Photos).  The sync did copy this folder to my iPad as a new album, but it also deleted all of the albums I put on the iPad from my home PC.  How can I get them back?  I do not have an iCloud backup....

    That is the danger of syncing with two different computers given the way that iTunes syncs photos.
    When you sync with photo folders specified in iTunes it places just those folders on the iPad and deletes any other synced folders. You must always specify all the folders in iTunes, even the ones that are already there.
    You can restore the lost folders from your PC when you return home. Note that you will lose the folder from your laptop when you do this if you don't copy that folder from your laptop to your PC first.

  • Can't Sync Photos Album on iMac to iPad

    I have created a new album in Photos and tried to sync it from my iMac to my iPad using the iTunes approach used before with iPhoto. I click the Sync photos button. It shows the Photos icon and name but shows 0 photos there. I click selected albums and it shows none. I click "Automatically include photos from last three months". It transfers nothing. Any ideas on how to solve this?  ( iTunes 12.1.2 and I am not using the iCloud Library for my photos)

    iTunes is syncing with the main System Photos Library. Only one of your Photos libraries can be the System Photos Library.
    If iTunes is showing an empty library, your photos an albums may be in a different library than iTuns is syncing with.
    While viewing your Photos Library with the album you want to upload to your iPad, open the Photos Preferences.
    Make sure, the option "use as System Photos Library" is dimmed in the General Preferences. That means, that this library has already been enabled as the System Photos Library.  If this option is  not dimmed, click it.

  • My ipad won't sync photos, need help please

    my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help

    You could try clearing the photo cache.
    You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPad syncing issues, please help.

    I know this is a long read, I appreciate you taking the time to follow the details to help me figure out what is happening with my iPad.
    As a preface, I update the firmware to all my Apple software (including iTunes) and my MacBook OS (Snow Leopard) and my iDevices the day the updates come out, so all these issues occured with the current firmware.
    A few weeks ago, I was syncing my iPad earlier to my MacBook via iTunes. The backing up step was going on for about 10 minutes and it only got 1/20 across the status / progress bar. I "X'd" out of that and just synced the rest of it without the backing up step.
    Then I disconnected the device and reattached it. I went back and am re-syncing. The backing up step has been going for almost an hour and its only 1/5th across the progress bar. It is moving, but noticeably. If I put my mouse pointer icon on the end of the progress made so far, then come back and look at it 10 minutes later, it has made progress. So, it is backing up, but so incredibly slowly.
    Anyone experience this before? Any idea what could be the cause or fix to this?
    I left it for several more hours. In fact, I started the syncing around 6 pm, and went to bed around 11. It was only 3/4 to 4/5 done backing up by that point.
    I left it overnight, and in the very early morning (6 or 7 am), it had the familiar and comforting "Sync Complete" message.
    Still have no idea why it took so fookin long, or it it will happen again next time.
    I don't think the problem is the issue pertaining to Zinio disrupting backups, as discussed here: http://imgs.zinio.com/faq/ipad.htm#backup because I already followed those steps.
    Now, two nights ago, I updated the firmware. It only took a few minutes. I didn't notice until last night, some of my old movies that I handbrake'd into iTunes were no longer on my iPad. I had to go back into the Time Machine to retrieve them.
    I re-synced the iPad. It took about 10 minutes doing step 1, backing up. However, it froze at about 95% complete. I thought it was just going slow again (last time was hours!), so I went to bed. I woke up this morning and it was still frozen. I ejected the iPad from the sidebar window and stopped the sync by clicking the little black "X" in the message window.
    I shut down iTunes and restarted my MacBook. I re-synced and it skipped the Step 1, Backing Up and went in to Step 2. It completed the sync moving over the movies, but no photos or music.
    I re-synced immediately afterward (after disconnecting and reconnecting the device) and got a message about iTunes not being able to back up my iPad due to another syncing in process. It still synced and this time it moved about 256 photos. Not sure why- maybe I had "Sync recent 1000 events" or something checkmarked in the iTunes Sync window.
    I re-synced again immediately afterward (also disconnecting and reconnecting first) and got the same message about iTunes not being able to back up my iPad. It still synced the rest of the sync process, but this time it moved about a dozen songs around. I don't know why I each time I sync it does different things and I get the error messages.
    My iPad seems to be giving me issues with syncing, anyone have any idea what is going on or how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
    2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
    3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
    Hope this helps

  • IPad 1 photo album scrambled

    IPad 1  / Windows 7 64 bit  /  iTunes 10.7.0.21
    My extensive photo albums content has been scrambled when syncing. In other words, some of my Factory photographs are now splattered into my Weddings albums, and so on.  I use the iPad for displaying business photography to my clients, and this phenomonon prevents me from using the iPad for this purpose. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this, and it affects all 26 of my albums - Help greatly appreciated - IM

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over into the correct albums - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page.

  • How do I get synced photo albums transferred from iphone to my mac?

    I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Macbook and now that I have replaced the drive I would like to recover the pictures on my iphone.
    I was able to get the camera roll photos using image capture but I am unable to get the photo albums that were synced from my previous iphoto library.  My iPhone 4S is jailbroken so I could go in via SSH but the problem is that I cannot even locate the photos.
    Is there a way to get those photos back onto my Macbook? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Macbook 3,1 OS 10.6.8
    iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 (jailbroken)

    The photos "synched" from a computer to your iPhone aren't really the original photos.  They're low resolution thumbnails suitable for display on the phone, but not practical for anything else.  If you didn't bother to save the original photos before replacing your computer's hard drive, your pictures are gone.

  • My synced photo albums are empty, why?

    I synced my photo albums from my computer but the are empty on my iPad and iphone

    I have the same problem. Latest iOS release (5.1.1 9B206). Latest Snow Leopard release (10.6.8). iPhoto 8.1.2 (424).
    Some albums synced from iPhoto show up by name on my iPhone 4S, but they are empty. The file extension problem referenced by one person here isn't what is happening in my case.
    I've tried unchecking the option in iTunes to sync photos, syncing, then rechecking the option, and syncing again. Problem still exists.

  • Not syncing Photo Albums

    I have reset my iphone a number of times now, but my photo album is simply no longer showing when I sync. There is nothing on the bar while syncing, and when I open the photo icon it says "No Photos" (you can take pic...bla bla bla)
    I think there must be pictures from my album on the iphone because the wallpaper I show from my private photo album not an apple. I can take images also and download them.
    Also while I am syncing the syncing mode goes on and on and on as if looking for the album (which is ticked) and which has only a few smal pix in it. I have to manually interrupt the syncing otherwise it just stays on.
    Any help is appreciated. Greatly...
    Anyone

    You posted in the wrong forum, try here:http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1145
    Did you try to remove all photos from your phone by deselecting the folder in the photo pane in itunes? Then try again to select the folder on your computer and sync.

  • Can't sync photos please help

    Set up folder under My Pictures entitled photos for iphone. Only want to sync those photos. When I plug in my iphone to sync, under photos I can see a button for 'selected folder' but it won't let me select that button. AND it only wants to let me sync photos from photoshop elements, which is irrelevant to my wanting to sync from a folder....
    had no problems syncing to my ipod from this same folder. Yes, I read the previous post about photo syncing and I deleted the ipod cache subfolder already. still can't sync....
    the manual says you can sync just one folder within your documents on your PC, but I can't figure out how to make it happen. Am on a bit of a deadline, since 'need' these photos before October 13, when I leave for a college reunion.
    help!!!!

    Okay. I figured out how to sync photos. This time, I tried the radio button both before the sync (no luck) but again after the sync was finished - when ITunes said I could disconnect my iphone...NOW, but only when the sync was finished, was I able to get the toggle to work next to Sync Photos from - to select a particular folder on my computer. Synced the 14 photos that I wanted to sync.
    Next question: how do I reorder the photos in the album? They aren't even in the same order as in the folder on my PC.
