IPdo photo cache delete problem

I have a lot of images and they are all organized alphabetically and in numerous folders. I have over 40,000 synced photos.
When I delete my iPod Photo Cache, it was 30GB, and resync, it jumbles all the images up and they aren't in their original order or folder.
I keep reading that iTunes will rebuild the IPC but I am not haveing that outcome.
Any ideas or hints? I'm on a PC syncing to a folder location on my hard drive.
Thanks

Wow, no one with this issue but me?

  • Photo Stream delete problem

    When deleting photos in Photo Stream from my 4s or iPad 1, it used to delete universally from all devices.  I added my apple tv, and now it says "This photo will be removed only from the Photo Stream on this (iPhone or iPad)."  how do I get the universal delete back?  This problem makes managing photos for the Apple tv Photo Stream screen saver difficult.

    I should add that I signed out of Photo Stream on the apple tv, still have only local delete on all my devices.

    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • Photo cache problems

    Ok, I've looked absolutely everywhere I can think to, and still coming up empty handed.. can someone please lend me a hand?
    I just recently purchased my iPod nano 8g. I had sync'd all my photo's to it.. and everything was going great. Then I decided that since I only had 8% free space on my C drive, that I was going to spend some time transferring some of my files to my external E drive. Seeing as I am not a computer pro... this was an all-night task. Well, somehow during this, I managed to upset iTunes, and had to completely manually un-install it, and re-install it and QuickTime. I managed to get all my files back up and running except for one problem.
    All of my pictures were missing. I have scoured all of my searching, and recovery software. I finally have come to the conclusion that the folder labeled "iPod Photo Cache" is actually my pictures (it contains a LOT of strangely numbered folders, etc). I know I'm missing something, but I'm new to iTunes, and iPod. Anyone have any ideas?

    I've done that more times than I could count... including recovery programs (in case they were accidentally deleted). They seem to have just vanished. all I have is that folder with a lot of .qtr (.ithmb) files. I did have to manually delete a lot of files from both itunes, and quicktime. My best guess at this point is that I've deleted and recovered the missing link between my files, or my files themselves, and am still in the process of searching. Thank-you for answering me, and I will keep looking.

  • Deleting iPod Photo Cache fixes iPhoto syncing error 208

    Thanks to some buried posts, I learned that deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" in the iPhoto Library folder fixes the -208 error that occurs when syncing an iPod Video with images in iPhoto. Instead of manually deleting this folder, however, I used OnyX to clean all the caches.
    I wish I tried this first before going through the iPod Restore process...

    Hi Paul,
    I followed your advice and I simply deleted the contents of the iPod Photo Cache folder, after having backed up the entire iPhoto Library.
    Before doing it tried to solve the problem by I restarting iTunes, iPhoto and PowerBook a few times, hoping that it would have trigger the clean-up of the cached photo files. It did not.
    So far I have not noticed any problems with iPhoto or iPod after the "forced" deletion. However, I am a little surprised that the cached files are not cleaned up automatically when the user reduces his selection of photos to be synced to iPod. Maybe the logic is that it is good to have even unused cached copies of the photos is case they are needed later (creating them is quite slow). Also I would have wanted to keep them, but I run out of disk space

  • There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

    Absolutely INFURIATING.
    I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
    Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
    It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
    The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
    Same problem.
    This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

  • How do I delete or move the apple tv photo cache created by iTunes

    I was goofing with iTunes and at some point, a dialog popped up asking me where to put the Apple TV Photo Cache.  Just to save time, I put it on my desktop.  Now, if I delete it, it comes back every time I start iTunes.  Can I really delete it for good?  I don't have an Apple TV.  Or, can I move it someplace like into the Pictures folder?
    Thank you for your time
    Perry

    File -> Home Sharing -> Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV
    then pick some place and it creates the cache at the top of the folder that you choose.
    Or, you can uncheck the top left most check box "Share Photos From".
    Now when I delete the folder, it stays deleted.

  • Will deleting i-pod photo cache wipe pics off i-pod?

    I've found the i-pod photo cache file that I want to delete (cos it has a ton of memory in the file).
    My question is: can I do that and STILL keep all my pictures on my i-pod? Or is there some adjustment I can make, like manually keeping my pictures on i-pod?
    Thanks

    You can delete it, but if I remember correctly, iTunes will recreate it every time you sync the iPod with the computer.
    iTunes uses that folder to store the pics in the size the iPod uses.
    Pictures have to be on the computer for them to get on the iPod. There is no manual picture syncing.

  • IPod photo cache file - how do I locate it?

    Hi all,
    On my iPod nano I keep getting the "some of your photos were not copied because they cannot be displayed on your iPod" message, but the photo albums I am syncing do not contain the photo mentioned in the warning.
    I have had a look around and noticed that one member said there is an iPod photo cache file that does not get updated. So, I want to delete that and then resync my iPod, in the hope that this warning message will not re appear. The problem is I don't know where it is located.
    For the record, I have also recently restored my iPod using iTunes 7.1.1 and this still occurs.
    Thanks in advance,
    Anthony.

    well any suggestion would b appreciated, thanks!

  • Are previews deleted when photos are deleted?

    After being confused for a while (as I'm sure many are) about not being able to delete photos from my memory card from Lightroom, I am trying to get into a "correct" workflow which I believe involves formatting the card when I have saved and backed up the images on it. So far I've come to this:
    0) Start with an empty memory card and take photos with my camera
    1) Import all photos, selecting to create 1:1 previews
    2) Look through the imported photos, marking the ones I never want to look at again as Rejected
    3) Delete Rejected photos
    4) Backup everything that is left
    5) Format memory card
    This seems to work, but I just want to make sure that the 1:1 previews created during the import of the photos that I Reject are deleted at the same time as the Rejected photos are deleted, so that they are not part of the backup step. Is this the case?
    Also, are there any other problems with this workflow?
    Thanks,
    David

    Previews should not be in the same folder hierarchy as the actual images.
    With regards to rejecting photos, there are pros and cons to each approach. I just import everything.
    I don't know if previews are deleted immediately when the image is deleted, I don't worry about it, I have never had a need to see whether a particular preview exists in the preview cache, so actually I don't know the answer. Why does it matter? Is your disk so close to being full that you are worried about it? that's the only possible reason I can think of to worry about what exists and doesn't exist in the previews cache, and since Lightroom does a very good job of managing these preview files so the human user doesn't have to, I would recommend you not worry about it. There's enough to do managing your actual images so my advice is to not worry about what is and is not in the preview cache.

  • Photo cache size

    I have about 1800 pictures which i resized and stuck in a folder to sync, they are about 100mb total, but when I sync them to my iPod with iTunes it creates a cache folder that is 1.3gb. Why is it so large and can I turn off the cache folder?
    Thank you.

    I just bought a new 15" PowerBook (hi-res) and iPod with Video. I've synched my entire 4 GB photo library to the iPod at the optimized resolution. I have almost 5000 photos in my library according to iPhoto.
    My photos are almost all 1600x1200, usually about 800k, but between 500k and 1 meg in size, depending on compression. From what I can tell, the "optimized for iPod" images really shouldn't be any larger than 300k (320 x 240 x 32 bit color depth) even if they're totally uncompressed. At most, my iPod Photo Cache should be about 3/8ths the size of my iPhoto Library, or in this case 1.5 GB.
    My iPod Photo Cache folder within my iPhoto Library is a little over double the size of my entire iPhoto Library, or 8.2 GB! When iTunes was synching the images, it indicated that twice the number of photos were being synched to the iPod, almost 10000! I can confirm from looking at images on the iPod that photos are indeed duplicates, so it seems the thumbnails from iPhoto have also been converted to iPod format. This is highly ineffecient; is there some way around this?
    I can only assume that those who are experiencing this problem have chosen to put their entire iPhoto library onto their iPods instead of just limited albums; I'd assumed that when one chooses individual albums on the iPod that the thumbnails are not included since Albums exist essentially as aliases to the photos.
    Since I've endured the lengthy conversion, I'm unwilling at this point to delete everything and experiment just to figure out exactly what's going on, but hopefully this provides some insight into what might be the source of the bloat in the "iPod Photo Cache"
    Thanks for listening,

  • Photo Cache on iTunes

    My photo directory is 12.9Mb.
    When itunes syncs it creates a directory: iPod Photo Cache size: 410Mb.
    When I try to sync with 500Mb free space on my ipod, there is not enough space to put all the photos on the drive.
    Why does itunes inflate the files so excessively when 'optimizing' them? This is surely a example of bad programming by Apple. Anyone care explain this further or had similar problems like this?

    Those photos taken or bumped photos should bi in the iPod's Camera Roll album
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Note however, that the the backup that had the photos may have been overwritten by a subsequent backup that did hot have the photos on the iPod.See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Have you looked on the computer? Maybe they were imported to the computer and then deleted from the iPod. Since the photos were not synced to the iPod they are not in the iPod Photo Cache folder .

  • Does iPod Photo Cache clean itself?

    I typically shoot 400 photos and keep 100.  I don't always delete the extras right away, and a few syncs may occur in between. 
    I'm wondering -- will the iPod Photo Cache get cluttered up with photos I later deleted... or does the photo sync software know how to "tidy up" as it goes?
    I'm wondering if it's worth deleting the iPod Photo Cache periodically and letting it rebuild.  I say "worth" because it takes the computer many hours of high CPU to do this job for each of my devices, so I don't want to do it if it's not definitely useful.

    In general it's not necessary to delete or "clean" any cache on your mac unless you're having a specific cache related problem. The OS (or the individual) apps do this.
