More photos in settings than photos app shows

After updating to IOS8 my 5c says that I have 368 photos when I look at my storage in settings but when I go to the photos app it says I only have 155 photos. I've deleted pictures to try to bring the 368 number down but I don't know what else to do. I can't find the apparent 368 photos that are apparently on my phone. What is going on and how do I fix it so it frees up more space?

Oops, meant to reply to you and replied to the OP, my bad. Anyway, I already did that (multiple times) on my phone and on my computer and no luck. Here are some screencaps of whatever the heck is going on with my phone. As you can see, I only have 15 photos in my Photo Library, which is turned off in my iCloud settings, but my Storage indicates I have 1.2 gigs (584 photos according to my iTunes storage summary) worth of photos? So confused.

HT201077 Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

Photos app shows I have less photos than my settings does

Hello all.
I got a new iPhone 5s in January and since I have noticed that in my photos app (where photos are stored) it says I have taken 624 photos and 14 videos but when going into Settings> General> About> Videos 15 and Photos 1,214. Why is this and how do I get my phone to show the right information? When I plug my phone into iPhoto (now Photos) on my computer it imports duplicates of each photo but has only done this since both updates on iPhone and MacBook. I have checked my iCloud account and I am not logged in so the photo stream is not turned on and I don't have any shared folders.
I've been needing to go to a Genius bar about my iPhone and MacBook as since the new IOS update my MacBook has been extremely slow but just haven't had a chance yet and thought I may try on here whilst thinking about it. All help is welcome

Depends on how you have your iPhoto setting set up. If under Preferences in iPhoto you have the options set up to automatically import your Photo Stream photos, then they should already be in monthly Events in iPhoto:
If you do not have these options set up, but if you have been regularly importing from your Camera Roll, then those also should be showing in Events in iPhoto. If you see your photos in either Events or Photos (selected from the top of the iPhoto sidebar), then they are safely stored in iPhoto, and you can delete them from your device.
If you do not see them in the Events or Photos views, then you would need to turn on the Photo Stream options above, and see what gets imported. Depending on the dates of the photos in your Photo Stream on your device, those photos may or may not still be in Photo Stream in iCloud. iCloud will keep the last 30 days of photos up to 1000 photos. But your device will keep Photo Stream photos on the device until you reset Photo Stream on the device.
I have photos in my iPhone Photo Stream that go back to last April....but, if I turned off Photo Stream in iCloud, most of them would be deleted because iCloud itself only has the last 30 days worth.
If all of the photos in your Photo Stream are not imported to your computer, you can put them in a Shared Photo Stream and send it to yourself, then import them to your Library right on the Mac.
Cheers,

I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

Info shows way more photos than photo folder does?

the info on my iPad tells me I have 745 photos, however, in my photo folder, I only find 177,
and I don't have a lot of photos in other maps...
still it takes 2,5GB of memory, which I think is quite a lot, where are all those photos my iPad tells me I have?
and how can i fix this?

There are many possibility that the photo is hiding.
Maybe you turn on the photo sharing which is located at setting>photo&camera. Is will add up the 177 so it will become more.
Second is you have more then one apple product so the photo will transfers here and there.

No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
2. Syncs to great up until last night
3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

There are no apps showing in Privacy Photos, Contacts, etc. HELP!!!

I'm on iPhone 4, iOS 6. There are no apps showing in Privacy > Photos, Contacts, etc even if I have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & other photo apps installed. Photos taken from the apps don't get saved to Camera Roll. Apps can't access Photo Library.
When I try to access my Photo library from within any app, it says "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings."
I go to Privacy > Photos and there are no apps there unlike in my friends' iPhones. It just says "Apps that have requested access to your photos will appear here."
This is the same problem with my Contacts related apps. I have apps like Viber and What's App.
Similary, there are no apps showing in Privacy > Calendars, Reminders, Bluetooth.

Oh my gosh. This worked perfectly!!!
After allowing the changes, I just had to open the apps again (such as Instagram), then the pop-up asking to allow access to Photos appeared!
And I thought I was going to get rid of my iPhone 4 already because of the issue.

HT201317 can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

No. At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

HT201077 Can more than one person upload photos to the shared Photo Stream?

Is there any way that more than one person can stream their photo on the same Photo Stream Album?

That's just the way it is right now. But if you would like to see this changed you can tell Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage it is terribly slow to attach photo or take a photo the app does not show camera and slow... like 2 mins at least.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage and then attach a photo or take a photo... the app does not show the camera fully or even to attach a photo does not work. I have about 8-9000 phones and like 10 short videos in there but it is incredibly slow and almost unable. I have the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus with 46 gb still available. I think this should not be so slow with so much memory still available. Please help. I am using 8.1.2. Yes I have set up the phone as a new phone. Apple store even reformatted this iphone 6 plus 2 months ago but it is still terribly slow Thanks

Hey Bender1031,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,
Matt M.

After installing ios7 no app appears in Settings- Privacy- Photo

Hello everybody,
I just updated my iPhone 5 (the normal one, no "s" nor "c") from IOS 6.1.4 to IOS 7.0 (no beta version was installed inbetween) and I have discovered that, after the update no app has got access to my photo folder... not even those which had it befor the update.
the thing is that I have no restraint so please don't sell me the old story "go to settings->generals->restraint and allow changes in the section where I can decide which apps can access to my photo folder and which can not because this has already been taken care of... Once clarified that I have no restraint that may prevent my apps to access my photo folder let's go to my question:
the point is that no apps appear in the section Settings->Privacy->Photos where I am supposed to go to switch on the green button that grants to the apps the access to my photo folder... in that menu it just appears the sentence "here go all the apps that my ask permission to access your photos" but after that sentence there is no app requesting access to my photos... the list of apps that was previously there in my IOS 6.1.4 has just disappeared...
At first I had the same problem with the localization services but after resetting the preferences and rebooting the phone the problem solved itself... I have tried it again just in case it might work also on the "photo problem" but with no success...
does anybody has the same problem that I have? How could I solve this inconvenience?
thanks in advance
cheers everybody
Marco

ok, so, quick update to my problem: (I solved it myself)
the Settings->General->Reset->Reset Location & Privacy as said before wasn't working, I tried everything that came to my mind with no success, I got tired of waiting for help and since no body answered my question I suspected that this was a one time problem and that nobody was having it...
I thought it might be because of a corrupt installation of the ios... So I proceded to restore my phone to the backup I made when I first bought it and then I have reinstalled ios7 from scratch...
It worked, now the problem is solved and my phone is working smoothly. I decided to post this just in case somebody would come across the same sort of problem.
thanks anyway to the comunity.
cheers everybody
Marco

HT201317 My photostream photos show more then 30 days of photos and have only just set my computer up with the icloud, is there any way I can get photos on my computer from more then 30 days ago?

My photostream on my iphone shows more then 30 days of photos, however I have recently lost my phone and hadn't set up the icloud on my computer until now. Is there anyway to get all the photos in my photostream on my iphone or just the last 30 days?

If you backed up the iPod before restoring it then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also, if yoo have that backup you can extract the photos by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

If i erase all content in settings, will my apps and photos be deleted

If i erase all content in settings, will my apps and photos be deleted

Yes ... from your iPhone.
Hopefully you have them backed up somewhere.

Where do photos go when shared to iTunes on iPhone on Windows? iTunes under Apps shows somethings been shared based on the size, but there is nothing in the iTunes photo section, and it says 0 photos???

I'm new to iPhoto, and I'm trying to figure out where sharing a photo to iTunes goes on the iPhone4 and/or Windows 8?
The Windows iTunes App section indicates something was shared and has an appropriate date and size, but the photo part says 0 photos, which makes it a little hard to delete.
Running the latest versions of iPhone, iPhoto, iTunes, and Windows.
Thx

Sharing to iTunes means the item is stored in the Individual app's file sharing area.
When your iPad is connected to your computer and selected look for the Apps tab. Select that then scroll down. First there will be a list of all your apps. Scroll down below that to find a list of your apps that support file sharing. Select iPhoto and you'll find the files you have shared to iTunes. Copy or drag them to your computer and move them where you want them.
