Itunes says that I have more photos on my Iphone than I actually do, please help

I'm not sure why but the Itunes bar at the bottom is really full for my phone. It says that I have thousands of photos on my phone even though I have cleared all of them off to try to save space.
Please help,
Joe

I had this problem, too.
I have fixed it. It cost me 99 cents.
My phone said I had 247 photos/videos. Itunes said I had 1700+. Both said that Photos & Video were taking up 10.8 GB of storage.
On my phone, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan
I selected the 20GB plan for $0.99 a month
Then, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Photos
I enabled My Photo Stream (slider to the right/green)
Then, I got on WiFi. I don't know how long it took, certainly not long enough to upload gigabytes of data, but I saw that my Photos & Camera app was using a far more reasonable amount of storage (1.3 GB, rather than 10.8 GB). I checked this by going to
Settings --> General --> Usage --> Manage Storage
Because I don't want the 20GB iCloud plan, I went back to
Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan --> Downgrade Options (at the bottom)
... and I selected the 5 GB Free plan again.
Now for a little rant.
I am very unhappy that I had to give Apple one thin dime to have this fixed. After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can barely use any storage on my phone, I had to pay to fix it. Ridiculous.
I still enjoy using Apple products, but I enjoy using them less and less over time. Not only is every release of iTunes less usable than the previous one, the last one wouldn't even install on my machine. That was about another six hours lost trying to figure out the problem.
I'm not sure if this is a first world problem. Ugh! My life is so hard!

My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanks

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

ITunes saying I have more songs on my iPod than I actually do. Help!

I currently have a good amount of music on my iPod touch and I still have over 10gb left. But when I try to synced up my iPod to the laptop, iTunes won't complete the sync, saying I have several thousand more songs on my iPod than I really do. And then it goes on to tell me that I need 11gb more to finish the sync!
What's happening? It was working and syncing perfectly fine yesterday.

on iTunes, select your device and check the songs/albums you would like to sync with it.Do the same with your another device. This should sync the selected songs/albums only for that device.

ITunes says I have more storage on my iPhone than I actually do

After syncing my iPhone 5c in the summery it shows that I have 3GB of available storage. When I look at the usage on my actual phone it tells me I only have 1.5 GB of free space. I've cleaned out all of the documents and data that I can, reset my phone, and resynced it but nothing changed. How do I get that 1.5 GB back?
I know it doesn't seem like much but I only have a 16GB phone and need every little bit I can get for work.

I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
Hope this works for you

Why does it say I have more photos on my iPhone than I really do?

When I back up my phone I apparently have over 1800 photos and over 4GB being used in photos. However, my photo app has only 180 picture in the album and photo stream combined. How do I find and delete the extra 1700 photos?

On opening the setup folder, I can't complete setup, because a pop up saying that I have to log to another user to setup the browser.Please help me with this.

After the pop up occures and i tell it to use the current user the setup just closes.

Jailbreaking devices is a bad idea (and for most people, it's really old school). Update the devices to iOS 7 and all of your problems should go away.

ITunes shows that I have more music than I actually do

OK, so when I go to check out how many gigs of music I have on my Macbook through iTunes it says I have 834 songs or about 10 gigs of music, but when I click get info on iTunes in Finder it says that I have over 3,000 items that take up 20 gigs. Why does my music take up twice as much space as it should?

I've searched everywhere too for a solution and I finally caved in and restored my phone after backing up all of my photos to iPhoto. It's a pain, but it freed up about 6GB on my phone.
My device:
iPhone 5, 16GB

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

Hi, I can't sync my Mac Book Air and iPhone5 calendars. I get a message from iTunes saying that the sync server failed to sync iPhone. Any explanations and/or solutions? Thanks.

What can I do to sync Mac Book Air and iPhone 5 calendars if the iTunes message says that 'the sync server failed to sync iPhone'?
Thanks,
Julian

Read the KB. Earlier today I had a fail to sync - I closed my Calendar app and the reopened and all was good.
Sometimes just closing the app the relaunching is all it takes. At other times a reboot of the Mac is all that is needed.

HT5945 Why does Instal Java SE 6 keep popping up and when I attempt to install it says that there is a problem with the internet connection ??? Please help

I keep getting a pop up reminder to install Java SE 6. When I attempt to install it an error occurs saying that there is a internet connection problem and the Java cannot be intalled. This thing pops up every 15 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help

OK, so you don't have a working iTunes.
What I would like to do now is to try installing each iTunes component separately.
First uninstall the 5 iTunes programs that you have installed.
You should have iTunesSetup.exe saved in a folder on your PC, probably in the downloads folder. If not download and save it now.
Open the folder containing iTunessetup.exe with explorer.
Next open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
md temp
itunessetup /extract temp
pause
Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
Install in this order by double clicking on them:
Apple Application Support
Bonjour
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Quicktime
iTunes
If one of the installs fails, stop and post the error message in full. I am hoping that by doing this separately we will get a better error message.

Can't transfer pictures, can't stop the process that I have already stopped, can't turn off the computer. Please help

Hello! I got my computer today and then I wanted to transfer all my pictures from my Iphone to the computer so I could delete the pics on my phone. So I plugged the phone in and started the process. Suddenly it stopped to transfer pictures and was standing still for a long time so I canceled the transferring. Then it asked if I wanted to keep the pictures that were already transferred so I confirmed it twice but the computer didn't react so then I clicked on delete. So I tried to start the process again by plugging the phone in and out one time. I clicked on transfer all but it was saying that they have to finish the first one first that I had canceled. So then I tried with my camera and it still said the same thing. I have tried to close Iphoto but that didn't work either. I can't even turn the computer off because then it says that I have to close Iphoto and I couldn't do that. So everything just stands still right know and I really need to transfer the pictures and I need to turn off the computer. Sorry for the long question but I really need help, hope the question is understandable / Linn

Why does itunes say that i have music on my iphone that i do not?

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help with this, its really doing my head in.
Until now, I've always deleted songs off my iphone using itunes on my pc. With the new ios and itunes update, I'm no longer able to do this.
The one thing that is annoying me the most is when connecting my iphone to my pc, I select my iphone and then On This Iphone. For some reason, its showing me songs that I don't have on my phone. There is no way for me to delete this information. I've checked my actual phone and the songs listed aren't actually on the phone but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why its telling me I have music that I don't.
Any suggestions?
Can anyone also tell me if there is a way to use itunes on my pc to delete songs off my iphone? Yes I know you can do it directly via the device but I want to know via itunes on a pc.
Thanks!

Yes, I also have an edit button. I'm trying to create a new folder with a name of my choosing. When I choose edit, I go to a screen that allows me to add one of a number of pre-named folders. There is no way to add my own.
When I look up how to do it online, what I get are great instructions with screen shots that don't look like what I have on my iPhone. There are also bars on the top and bottom of these screen shots that I don't have I clearly do not have the same version.

Itunes says that I have five computers authorized, but I have only done this for one computer. I want to authorize a new computer but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I have one computer authorized to connect with my ipad and ipod. I would like to authorize my husband's computer to enable home sharing, but keep getting the error that I have five computers authorized. Not sure how this is possible. I'm tempted to try to deauthorize all computers and start over, but fear that this may create new problems. Any ideas on where the issue is?
thanks -
Deb

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

ITunes says that I have bought a song that I never have when I attempt to purchase a new song on iTunes

What could be the reason for this? And how do I fix it? It is bugging me.

My iPod Classic 160GB is not recognised on iTunes - it says that there is no iPod found? When its plugged in! Please help

iPod classic is not recognised on iTunes. My iPod screen is flickereing constantly - from upside down to the right way around. It wont even show up on my iTunes. I plug it in to my MacBook and it gives me the option to restore but then once Ive clicked it says that 'it cannot be restored as there is no iPod found' when it connected and it says so on my iPod screen. Please help! Thanks J

Tried resetting the ipod and its enabled to be used as hard disk on itunes.
I assume you mean the "Enable Disk Use" option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
