Iphone duplicate photos in photo library

I've read some of the postings, but not sure they cover mine. I've synched photos onto my phone, but due to various difficulties, I have some duplicate photos on the iphone. There is no option under photo library to delete a specific photo. If I go to my documents/my pictures/iphone/iphone cache, there are folders marked ithmb. If I could figure out what the photos look like (and I can't open them), I could delete from that cache and then perhpas resync. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'd just like to get rid of some photos that I don't want to keep in my photo library.

pituspat,
I would recomend making a folder for the pictures you want to sync over on your Windows-based PC.
If you want to remove a photo from the iPhone, remove it from that folder, and on the next sync it will be removed from the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Duplicate Photo Library

When I sync my phone it syncs my pics from my "pics" folder to my Photo Library as well as it has a folder called pics right under my Photo Library thus creating two folders with all the same pics, is there anyway to get rid of the pics folder from my phone ? What can i do ? PLEASE HELP lol
Cheers!

Photos captured by your iPhone are stored in the iPhone's Camera Roll.
All photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are stored in the the iPhone's Photo Library.
If you have several folders that contain photos that are transferred from your computer, all photos in all folders are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
Photos available in the several folders below are not duplicated. Photos available in the several folders below contain a pointer to the original photo stored in the iPhone's Photo Library - where all photos transferred from your computer are stored, regardless how many folders that contain photos are selected to be transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
I use iPhoto on my Mac, which supports creating photo albums. All photos in all albums are stored in the main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be placed in an album without being in the main iPhoto library. This is similar to an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist without being available in the main iTunes library. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated - the playlist contains a pointer to the original song in the main iTunes library.
I currently have 9 iPhoto albums transferred to my iPhone with a total of 140 photos. All 140 photos are stored in my iPhone's Photo Library. It is as follows with my actual albums with a different name:
Photo Library (140)
Album #1 (8)
Album #2 (4)
Album #3 (6)
Album #4 (56)
Album #5 (17)
Album #6 (6)
Album #7 (25)
Album #8 (6)
Album #9 (12)
This way, I can view the 6 photos available in Album #3 only by selecting this album, or I can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
This is similar to transferring several iTunes playlists to your iPhone. You can listen to, or select from the songs available in a particular playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to or selecting from all songs available in all playlists by selecting Songs - where all songs in all playlists transferred to your iPhone are stored.

On my iphone in photo library i have no photos but in storage it says i have 663

on my iphone in photo library i have no photos but in storage it says i have 600

Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto? I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
Thanks!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer. Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer. The iphone is not a storage device.
The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

Iphone 5 photo library

iPhone 5, Photo Library is taking up 2,8 GB space with only 500 odd photos.
I don't have any photos synced using iTunes from my computer.
I have not turned on the 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)'
I have not turned on the 'my photo stream' option either
I don't know what is taking up this much space.

Hey, basically, you have 2 options:
1. Import photos from your iPhone to your computer (Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support) and delete them from your iPhone.
2. Try SafeEraser's 'Photo Compressor' option. It enables you to backup your photos to your computer and compress the large ones on your iPhone to small size. After doing this, photos will be kept on your iPhone and occupy less space.

Hello, is it possible to connect an external camera to my iphone to take pictures that transfers the pictures via bluetooth to my iphone's photo library ?

Can you help me delete photo library & duplicate photo library

Hi,
I don't know what I did, but I somehow copied 44 of my daughter's music images into my photo library and then created a duplicate with 43 images. These 87 images are taking up room and there is no obvious way to delete them.
Here's what happens when I touch camera roll it brings me to the photo library -- where 43 out of 44 images are hers:
I click edit and the only options are share via email, faceboook, twitter, etc. or add to which leads to create a new album. I don't want to do any of this. I just want to delete them to make room.
The same options apply for the Duplicate album as well.
Can you help me delete the photo library and the duplicate library on my phone? I only want to keep one video in the camera roll and all of the rest of the images can go.
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I think you just isolated my issue -- I was trying to upload music and somehow wound up syncing my daughter's photos to my iphone. I don't know how to delete them because not all of the album/folders are appearing there. Do you have any suggestions on how to find them?

Iphone 6, photo library "downloading"

I purchased my iPhone 6 about a month ago, it was already backed up through Icloud and on my old iPhone 5s. Since purchasing it and updating, and restoring my camera roll has been saying downloading, when I connect it to iTunes it says that I have 900 photos and videos on it, when in reality its only 500 which are some that were transferred over and the others that I've uploaded since then!! Has anyone else experienced this issues, I currently have sprint and they said that it wasn't an issue on their part, so I've tried contacting Apple and nothing!!

Just migrate from iPhone 5 32GB to iPhone 6 64GB (using iTunes backup and restore). Migrated my 19.6GB of photo library to my new iPhone 6 as well.
However, browsing through my photos on the new iPhone 6 has very slow-responsiveness, and sometime just freezes. Have not encountered such issue on my old iPhone 5. Tried reset the iPhone 6, restore iOS 8.0.2 using iTunes, but without much helps.
Just wondering if anyone having similar issue, and with any tips and tricks to resolve this?
Thanks!

Help Deleting Iphone 5C Photo Library

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 5C and I just noticed today that nearly all of my data is taken up. When I check in settings>General>Usage, It says that I have used 5.7 GB on Photos and Camera. I deleted all of my camera roll pictures and videos and it still says this. I went to iTunes, went to my phone's tab, went to the photos tab, and I had not synced any photos from anywhere. However, it still says that I have 1150 photos from "Photo Library" that I can not seem to delete. Please help me get rid of these photos so I can regain storage on my phone.
Thanks,
P

I went to the Apple Store today and fixed the problem. Apparently it is false memory that is from some glitch while syncing. Backup your iPhone on your iCloud account, reset your phone to factory settings, then restore your settings from iCloud.

IOS iphone, updating photo library is very slow

both on my iphone 4s and ipad 2.
takes more than 5mins on every time updating. Thus, I need to wait a very long time on every time opening iphoto on my iOS devices.
any way to solve this problem?
Thanks.

The fewer photos you have on your iPad the less time it takes to update the photo library. Probably not the answer you want to hear but that's the way it is for iPhoto for iOS right now.

Iphone 3GS photo library updated and all of my photos were doubled.

After deleting all of the duplicate photos, when I open a photo all it shows is a black screen. Strange that they are showing in the library but can't view them individually. I tried transferring them to my computer, and it shows them as being corrupted. Any ideas on how to recover these?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
have you found where is your original library is located? Is there both an Old Masters and Masters folder in it?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
how much free space on your boot drive? It's strongly recommended to maintain a minimum of 10-15 GB of free space for optimal system and application performance.

IPhone 4 Photo Library Rebuilding Error

Hi there,
I recently ran into a problem with my photos/videos on my phone(not jailbroken)--my photo library and camera have become completely inaccessable.
When I tried to send an MMS, the photo library said that it had to rebuild. It began to rebuild and crashed. It has done this before, but I have always been able to fix it either by just opening the library again or turning off/on my phone. That was not the case this time. I tried opening my camera to take a photo because that had helped in past situations, but it did the same as the library--began rebuilding then crashed and back to the home screen. BUT before the camera closed, I was able to see the thumbnail in the lower left corner of the last photo taken. This has to mean the photos are still there, right?
I have reset it multiple times and am hoping I will not have to do a complete factory restore.
After hours of trying to fix it on my own, I am near the point of giving up hope.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
