Iphone scrambling iphoto folders

Hi;
I have and iPhone 3G 4.2.1. When syncing iphoto albums from my mac to the phone the pictures end up in random albums on the phone. I have run Library repair on the mac and every thing is fine at that end. It's just when the pics get transferred to the phone some end up in the wrong album. I 've tried deleting all the albums on the phone re-syncing with no pictures then reselecting the albums desired and resyncing again but everything is still scrambled. Does anyone have any ideas. I've been reading about deleting the ipod? photocache and will try this; Where is it located?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dave

Random photos in my iphoto folders aren't synching to my iphone. Any idea why?

For the last two weeks or so, random photos that I put in my iPhoto folders to be synched to my phone aren't transferring over.
There seems to be no criteria for the ones that don't transfer, and the image counts in iTunes confirm the correct number of pics in the folder, they just never make them to the phone. Any ideas?

Try deleting the photo cache > iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...

I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

I recently uploaded photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and the folder is there but photos are no where to be found. PLEASE HELP!!

I have uploaded my photos from my trip to iphoto from my iphone and the folder is still there until events and photos but the photos are nowhere to be found. Please help!!

Please explain and provide details
What versionn of iPhoto and of the OS?
the folder is still there until events and photos
What does this mean? In iPhoto folders are organizational elements adn can not hold photos - folders hold other folders and albums (in the source pane on the left)
Are you photos in the last import list?

Why do iPhoto folders look different on iPad?

Why do iPhoto folders look different on the iPad? When I launch the Photos app on the iPad you get a list of photos and photo albums that I have synced from my laptop. All is fine. However...
The photo albums are in a different order.....I can't see name or tag data with the folders .... impossible to search for specific pictures by name......Mainly, the entire interface is so different. Instead of simple vertical list of photo albums (as on the Mac or the iPhone, iPod, the iPad presents you with an array of those graphic-image photo piles -- the ones where the first picture in the album is shown on top, etc.
Does this bother anyone else? Anyway to make photos and photo albums on the iPad more closely resemble the photo/album list you see on the Mac?

The Photos app on the iPad is just a basic photo viewer and isn't as sophisticated as iPhotos on the Mac and has limited functionality. Third-party apps will probably give you more of the functionality that you mention, but you can't change the Photos app.

Exporting photos from iPhone to iPhoto before syncing

GOAL: I'd like my iPhone to be sync'd with my iPhoto albums & carry some of my favourite photos on my Phone but not take up too much memory. That way. I can check the boxes for which albums I want to put on my iPhone, but iPhoto will be the master copy. Make sense?
DILEMA: Some of the photos on my iPhone haven't been imported into iPhoto (for whatever reason - don't ask because I'm not 100% sure) and I don't want to lose them, but;
a) when I open iTunes and I can't 'see' the same folders as I can on my iPhone (apart from the camera roll) - so I can't move/copy/ export the remainder
b) the option to sync iPhone using iPhoto means overwriting with my iPhoto library
c) MobileMe has no 'multiple' upload function
d) iPhoto has no import from iPhone function
I get the hunch that this functionality might be something to do with copyright infringement (cool) but it's not allowing me to move/copy photos that I took & own the copyright to (uncool)...
Either I'm missing something or the Genius watching the support topics just got a raise for suggesting a new feature of iPhoto. If any of this makes sense and I'm missing a trick, please post something to put me out of my misery peeps!
Please & Thank You as always,
J

Photos sync from iPhoto to the iPhone via iTunes, with the sole exception of pics that are taken on the iPhone itself - those go into the camera roll and can be transferred from the iPhone to iPhoto. But, photos in any album in the iPhone Photos app (not the camera roll, but albums) must have come from iPhoto.
If you sync the iPhone to a new computer, iTunes-managed media content (music, videos, apps, and pics from iPhoto) put on by the old computer is replaced by content from the new computer. You mention a backup - do you mean a backup of the iPhone? If so, iTunes media content is not backed up (pics in the Camera Roll are, but no other pics). See this kbase article about iPhone backups.
So, it sounds like you did not transfer your full iPhoto library from your PowerBook to your iMac. If that's the case, you should do that (using an external hard drive, or Firewire target disk mode, etc.) then sync the pics to the iPhone from the iMac.
It is possible to extract the pics from the iPhone using 3rd party software (e.g. TouchCopy, google it) - but, remember that pics are 'optimized' during transfer to the iPhone. Optimizes means reduced to 2 megapixel images, so if you get them from the iPhone you can never recover the original high resolution images - thus, the best solution is to get them from the PowerBook.

Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

Is it possible to transfer photos from my iPhone to iPhoto? The photos I want to transfer ARE not in the camera roll, they are in folders that were transferred to my iPhone from iPhoto. The photos are no longer in iPhoto on my laptop, they are on a backup disc I have. Just curious if I can move them somehow without having to get my backup disc out and reload them into iPhoto. Thanks for any help.

I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

My mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto since upgrading to snow leopard. Help.

My Mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto in iphoto since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually I just used to double click and the video clip would open, now nothing happens. Help please.

Can you access the material via the Finder or Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

I transferred some photos from my iPhone onto iPhoto and then the remaining, untransferred photos on my iPhone were deleted? Help!

Hi, everyone! I don't know if this question has been answered, but I recently lost my photos on my iPhone.
My iPhone memory was full, so I decided to transfer some of the photos on my iPhone onto iPhoto to clear up some space. (In hindsight, I probably should have transferred all of the photos AND I should have backed up my photos on iTunes regularly). Anyway, after transferring some of the photos, I selected the "delete imported photos" option on iPhoto. After unplugging my iPhone from my laptop, my Camera Roll looked like this:
There were only about 5 photos left and these odd video icons that were inaccessible. I was only able to transfer photos from January to March 2013. I'm missing all of my photos from March to December 2013. I also checked the amount of space I had left on my iPhone, and the amount of free space I have now is a few gigabytes more than I had before the photos went missing, so I'm guessing my photos were deleted.
I tried to look for a solution online, and I didn't really find any threads that talked about this specific problem, but I tried the suggestion of one article (albeit the article wasn't exactly about this problem) to delete these three files from my PhotoData. It made the inaccessible video icons disappear, but my photos are still nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know why this could have happened or how I can retrieve my photos? Has anyone encountered this before and has found a solution? I would really like to retrieve my missing photos. Thank you!

probably a question for the iPhone forum since restoring photos on the iPhone does not involve iPhoto at all

Problems syncing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

I have an iPhone 4 installed with iOS 5.0.1. I also have a slightly older version of iPhoto (I believe it's one generation behind; whatever that is). Prior to updating my iPhone to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (I didn't check between updates) I used to be able to sync my photos FROM my iPhone into iPhoto. I can no longer do this and Apple has no idea what the problem is?!?!
iPhoto appears as though it's going to start syncing photos but then does nothing except gives me a big white screen; almost like it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried deleting the photo cache and nothing. I've tried calling Apple support and nothing.
Can anyone help me with this, as it is very inconvenient to keep emailing photos to myself. I assume the issue has to do with the iCloud folder and iPhoto doesn't know what to do with the iCloud photo. Of course Apple has to understand this is an issue before it will be fixed, if I am correct.
Suggestions?

Since iPhoto syncing is not working for you right now and you need to replace your phone, consider transferring your pictures wirelessly to your computer using and app like PhotoSync. Also be sure to back up your contacts as they are not fully backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Either sync them to a service such as Google or use an app like My Contacts Backup (which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that your send to yourself and can later be used to import your contacts to your new phone).

How to get pics from iphone to iphoto library on hard drive

Hi there. I saved my photo library to an EHD. I pointed iphoto to open the library from EHD. Normally when I connect my iphone to my macbook pro, iphoto just pops up asking to import the pics from my phone. But now it doesn't do that and it doesn't show my phone on the left pane of i photo. How do I get my pics and videos from my iphone into the iphoto library i saved on my ehd? Thanks!

Greetings,
Make sure your external hard drive is Mac formated and has a reasonable amount of space available.
--- Side note: If you haven't already, you should tell TimeMachine to backup that external hard drive as Time Machine only backs up your internal hard drive by default.
Try:
1. Install all software updates for both your computer and your iPhone and turn both on and off and re-plug the cable between them.
2. Try importing your pictures and movies using Image Capture found in Macintosh HD > Applications.
-- If Image Capture sees your iPhone when iPhoto does not, try creating a new iPhoto library on your internal drive to see if that library can see your iPhone. This is done by launching iPhoto while holding down the option key.
If those steps do not help, follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
Cheers.

Can't get photo's from iphone to iphoto 09

I did a clean install of osx and did not back up my photos dumb I know, now I have 73 photos on my iphone but iphoto 09 only imported the camera roll album of 11 photos the other photo albums don't import and if I sync under photos tab in itunes it says will wipe out any photos on my iphone that are not in iphoto, help can I get these old photos off my iphone and into iphoto??

That's not the same problem. The OP wanted to import photos he had synced, not photos from the Camera Roll. If you had the same problem, the same answer would work for you.
If you need to import photos you took with the iPhone, try using Image Capture instead of iPhoto. If the issue is with iPhoto, Image Capture will let you import to anywhere on your hard drive. It's in Applications, comes with every Mac.

Can't see Video on iPhone in iPhoto

I have transferred a 16 minute video shot on my iPad onto my iPhone 6 (via Airdrop).
I now wish to transfer it from my iPhone onto my iMac, using iPhoto.
However the video, is not showing up as being on my iPhone under iPhoto!
Can someone please exlain why and/or how I can transfer my video?

With the iPhone connected to your iMac launch Image Capture. You should be able to see all photos and videos on your iPhone. Select the video and download to a folder on the Desktop. Then import into iPhoto from there.
Is the video displayed in your Camera Roll?

How do you import photos from the photo library on an iPhone using iPhoto?

Hello, I am trying to find a way to import photos from the Photo Library on my iPhone using iPhoto. It seems that the default setting only allows for photos in the 'camera roll' section to be imported and not the full photo library. We recently had to replace a hard drive and only had our photos backed up on mobile devices (iphone and ipad), but would like to import them on to our computer. Thank you.

No, iPhoto can't access these files. There are several apps that will recover the material from an iOS device and bring them over to the Mac.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22247/photo-liberator
or

are two, but there are others. Search on MacUpdate

Why can't I download photos from my iPhone to iPhoto?

When I try to download photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, it says:
Help please?

Only thing I can link it to is the Location services. somehow the phone thinks I can't allow anyone to download images that reveal my location... even on my own computer. A programmers oversight, but i can't figure out how to ALLOW it again!
HELP!
