Itunes reports photos on iPhone while they're in the iCloud

Hello,
I've got iPhone 6 Plus and I use iCloud photo library. All my photos are in the cloud and I've chosen Optimise storage on iPhone. The phone reports i have 16 MB of photos while iTunes reports I have 200 MB of photos, which is calculated against my total storage. So what is the real storage of my photos? Why is that? Any ideas?

Typically it should be done like the example below
Main Folder - "Pictures" or whatever you want to call the Main folder
Subfolders - "Album Name Here" There can be an unlimited amount of Sub folders in the main folder, But I do not advise creating subfolders inside a subfolder.
Simply create subfolders like Wedding, Party, Graduation, 2007 New Years Party. Things like that.
So recap. 1 Main Folder you tell iTunes where to look, Then select, Sync Selected Albums. And put a check mark in each Album aka Subfolder you want to sync. Again keep in mind. Do not create another subfolder in a subfolder if possible.

Transfer photos to Iphone as they are in the computer?

Hi all.
I am trying to transfer my photos (Quite a lot, 12000) to my Iphone.
I have 3 folders and in each folder there are sub folders that arrange my photos as I want. I installed Itunes and set to sync only these 3 folders, It showed me the amount of pictures and I start the sync. It took a while but at the end when I enter to pictures in my Iphone I saw the 3 folders but when I entered one of them there weren't any sub folders or any kind of order. I saw in one folder 6000 pictures on the same folder. at the 2nd folder there were 5000 again without any sub folders or any kind of order like in my computer. the 3rd of course held the rest 1000 but again all at the same folder.
My question is pretty obvious. How can I sync\transfer my photos to my iphone with the same order like in my PC?
I can't scroll 6000 pictures and found what I want. And I can't arrange all the photos again.
Thanks.
I am willing to buy a software if there is one.
I am running Windows XP.
Thanks

Bought second hand iPhone 4 they cannot remember the iCloud password how do I get around this

Bought a second hand iphone4 have contacted seller they cannot remember iCloud password how do I get around this?

They need to reset their Apple ID password by going to http://iforgot.apple.com and then turn off Find My iPhone.
At that point you can restore the device as new.
If they cannot or will not do that, demand a refund.
If they will not provide a refund, contact law enforcement as the device is most likely stolen.

HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Hi Terri571,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Best,
Jeremy

HT4236 if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

The transfer of photos from an iPhone to a Mac is an import. It is very similar to what happens when you move photos from any camera to the Mac (if you have ever done that). Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
The iTunes sync can move photos the other direction (Mac to iPhone). That "sync" works the same way each time you do it -- it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes photo page settings. Instructions for that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

My iPhone has my daughter's music but those same songs do not show up on the computer in the list of songs on my iPhone. They are in the library though

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.
