ITunes not only not syncing all my photos, but messed up all of my albums

So since I've updated my iPod touch 5 to iOS 8, there are these additional useless apps. That was an eyesore, until I got to my photos to see my Camera Roll GONE, and replaced with two new options: "Recently Added" and "Recently Deleted". So what's the point with these options? So my wife could check on what I've been taking pictures of recently? And there's a 30-day deletion for "Recently Deleted"? This is absolutely absurd beyond comprehension!
The final tick that struck my nerve tonight is the fact that when I synced my photos, ALL of my photos are randomized into different albums, including ones I've made years ago that should've ceased to exist! Yes, I have tried all the tidbits researching solutions like clearing my cache and such, but this just had me pondering if I should just drop all my beloved Apple products. I get that Apple is trying to produce more and more money by releasing all these new iOS upgrades that render old devices useless so people would purchase newer products, but seriously?
I'm starting to get paranoid if iTunes could be lurking under my folders, deleting and re-arranging/restoring my old deleted photos with my new ones. So, I'll be dropping my iPod touch 5 until someone could come along and give me another solution. Or at least an opt. where I can restore my iPod back to iOS 7. Thank you all sincerely in advance.

There is no automatic option to recover the lost library structure (albums, events).
Your best bet will be to restore your iPhoto library from your most recent backup before the crash.

  • I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

    It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*.  The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone.  You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

    It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
    When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

  • Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?  For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

    Hello Apple Community,
    Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? 
    For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud).  Is this possible?
    This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
    iphone backup.
    Thank you in advance!

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
    Read references for Home Sharing.
    iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
    Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

    No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
    If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost. 
    The only options are:
    Restore the device to get it functional.
    Enjoy the paper weight.
    For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?

  • I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them?

    I recently backed up all my photos and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.6. iphoto would not launch so I installed the iphoto Library Manager. now I can get iphoto to run but when I try to add my photos or direct it to a iphoto library I get the error message...
    The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)
    I have also gotten...
    The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
    I have gone in and tried to change the settings of the files to read/write and put in my password but then I get the " The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)" error message?
    Please help. I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them? They are jpg files.

    I recently backed up all my photos
    How did you do this?
    These Unable to Import and Locked Library messages are common symptoms of a damaged database file. As iPhoto Library Manager is unable to rectify the situation you'll need to do a Manual Rebuild as described in this article

  • All my photos on my phone are in 1 album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some pictures to them?

    All my photos on my phone are in one album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some of them?

    With photos transferred from your computer, you create the albums or folders on your computer.
    If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a parent folder that will store the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the named folders of photos in this parent folder and select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. The folders of photos inside of the parent folder on your computer's hard drive will be transferred to your iPhone as separate albums. To add an additional album of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove an album of photos from your iPhone, move the folder of photos outside of the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums.  How do I find them and put them back in? (1800 photos.)  Help.

    I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums. (1800 photos.) How do I find them
    and put them back where they belong?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • My IPod Touch 4th Gen easily syncs videos and photos, but not music

    I should mention that since my last sync I successfully transferred my ITunes Folder to a separate hard drive.
    This went smoothly and all the files made it.
    Since then I have been all through i-Tunes and everything was fine.
    When I synced, tv shows and videos that I added were synced.
    Also new apps from my i-pod were synced with ITunes.
    Then, it synced my photo album.
    The music that was originally on the i-Pod is still on my computer, and the sync check marks were still in place.
    I added a few extra albums too
    But when it synche, it only pulled down one song.
    The PLAYLISTS, ARTISTS, AND ALBUMS were all empty
    I did the process several times and each time it would tell me it's syncing photos, then it would be done.
    It didn't touch my music at all.
    Has anyone else had this experience?
    If so, please assist.
    regards and thanks in advance.

    Additionally, I took note that the ONE song that synced was checked within the LIBRARY list
    and NOT within the music list within the I-Pod Window.
    So, I have manually checked the songs that I want and it appears that the SYNC is happening correctly.
    So my actual question is:  How can I divert control back to the listing within the I-Pod Window (which I'd prefer to use) and let it be the default rather than the whole music Library?

  • Please, help!!!!! How can i delete Angry birds not only from my device (iPhone 4), but from my iTunes account,too? I am a new user.

    I am a new user of iPhone 4. I have problems with "Angry birds". I heard that i can fix the problem by deleting the application. So, the question is : How can i delete the game not only from my device, but from my iTunes account,too? Please, help!!!

    You can just tap and hold any icon to put into Edit mode.  There you can delete.
    Or you can just tell iTunes not to sync it.
    To remove from iTunes just click on it in list and press delete.

  • Why do all my photos (but one!) not take up the entire touch screen?

    I've been trying to figure this out for some time with no luck.
    I have a very nice DSLR camera but I tend to use all the preset buttons. My photos always show up as a "square" shape when using things like the Apple TV photo display and on the ipod touch.
    Recently we spent 3 weeks at the beach and I changed no settings on the camera during that trip. One photo out of almost 400 taken is more "rectangular" such that when I flip my ipod touch, this photo will change and take up the entire screen with no black edges. All of the other photos have blank edges/square shape.
    My old cheap Kodak digital camera takes up the entire screen with all photos on the touch and the ATV. A friend shot some photos and his takes up the entire screen as well. Mine are always square, except for this odd one.
    When I "get info" in iphoto, a sample of about 10 photos from this bunch from the beach show size 2032 x 1354, if that matters.
    Any info?
    Thanks.
    More info: Looking through the photos, I noticed there was a change in the settings during the trip as there is a point where all the photos take up the entire screen. I don't know how to check the settings that were in place but the difference is:
    Square shape: size: 3200 x 2400, and about 1.1 MB per photo.
    Rectangular shape: size 2032 x 1354 at about 446 KB per photo.
    I'm a novice at the particulars behind the photos but I'd like a good quality picture that isn't square but rather takes up the entire screen.

    David,
    Thanks for the note. I looked up online and you are correct...the aspect ratio for my camera is indeed 4:3. I see in my camera settings where I can change the size of the photos but I've played around with that stuff and seen no difference in the aspect ratio.
    I guess I'm stuck with what I've got?
    I tried converting some of them with iphoto to a different aspect ratio and I don't think that's possible either.
    Thx.
