More photos than wanted when iPad synch

Old iPad 1, wife owns and uses it. She never synched before yesterday. She has no PC. I have PC and iPhone 4s.
She had no iTunes account nor did she have an iCloud account. iPad 1 was set up with my iTunes account so she could buy books and buy apps.
We synched for first time yesterday, with the goal of getting upgraded to iOS 5.1.1.
Established iTunes account and signed in under her new ID and password. Plugged in iPad and did synch, also OKing for full backup and everything.
Lost all contacts. Not recoverable any way. Bummer. Apple's fault, we are sure.
But here is the nasty thing. The synch put all MY PHOTOS from my MY PICTURES folder onto her iPad.
Is it because we had not established a separate iCloud account for her?

Sync again but this time deselect the photos folder and the photos will be removed from her iPad.

"Last Month" in RECENT shows a lot more photos than just last month's photo

For some reason when I select "Last Month" in RECENT (on the left) I get a lot more photos than just last month, it seems like just about all the photos from the current year!
Any one else running into this problem?
By the way, my library was originally created using iPhoto '07 and I upgraded when iLife '08 came out.

Indeed that is the case but it sounds to me like a bug and not a feature.
I agree - but since this is just a user forum that is all I can do
report to Apple -- iphoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback - they can change it

'All Photographs' contains more photos than in folders

All photographs collection contains more photos than in folders - (Using LR 4) There are about 6k more photos that are in my catalog (All Photographs) than what is showing up in my folders below. All of my photos are located on an external hard drive. I have them organized by year. So for example, if in LR I click on 'All Photographs' in the library module, I can see hundreds of photos from 2009. I can also see all these photos on my external hard drive under the 2009 folder. However , these photos do not show up under the folders in LR. I've tried 'synchronizing' my folder in LR, but it thinks all of the photos are duplicates, since they are indeed already in the catalog (just not the folder)

To tell you the truth, this kind of thing is nearly impossible to diagnose across the internet, so I have only a few pieces of advice on how to fix this.
If an entire folder has been copied to the internal drive, and that's where you did the editing, but you'd like to use the copies on the external drive, then right-click on the Folder name and select Update Folder Location and point to the corresponding folder on the external drive.
The other piece of advice I have is kind of trivial ... don't create more duplicates! don't put photos on your internal drive! If you yourself are more organized, then Lightroom will reflect that!
Good luck

Does tethering my iPad to my iPhone 4s use more data than using an iPad that has its own data plan?

Does tethering my iPad to my iPhone 4s use more data than using an iPad that has it's own data plan?

No, it won't work.. the Airports are not media devices.. they have no brains .. no media extensions.. and itunes must be running on a computer.
You can however watch movies from storage but not with itunes..
See how people use tools like VLC to get around Apple's built in iTunes limitations.

Apple sells adapters from either 30-pin or Lightning connectors to either HDMI or VGA. Check them out in the Apple Store at http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/ipad_accessories/cables_docks or your national equivalent "iPad Cables & Docks" store page.
Be sure to read the comments on whichever adapter is appropriate to your iPad model and your monitor model. Not every user has found satisfaction using them (though many have).

My photos get distorted when I synch my ipod

I used to have my ipod synched to a computer running Windows XP and everything worked fine. Now I restored my ipod in order to use it with my new computer, which runs Windows Vista and I have some problems. Sometimes, when I am synching my photos I get a blue screen in my computer saying that there has been a problem and that Windows has been shut down. It also says that I may ned to disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing? What is this about?
Also, the photos that are succesfully I synched look distorted in my ipod (colors are changed, big squares of diiferent colors show up, etc.). Any ideas on how to solve these problems? Thanks

Hi
I have the same problem !
I have a 60GB iPod and a new DELL E521 with Vista. On my old XP system everything worked fine. I did dync more than 10000 pictures.
On Vitsa, the sync took forever, even after i selected a folder with just 3 pictures. So i deleted the folder 'ipod picture cache' and did try a sync again.
This finished after some 10 Minutes !! but i have got the same crasy colors as you mentioned.
My version FW on iPOD: 1.2.1
iTunes: 7.4.3.1
To me it sounds as nobody did test that at Apple.
These guys are producing Software like everyone: With Bugs ! Lots of Bugs !

Why are some photo events missing when I synch my iPad with the new iMac?

Very confused user here.
I've just bought the new IMac, When I connected my iPad2 to the iMac and opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked to import photos. This proceeded, but when I checked it became clear that not all the events had been imported, even though iPhoto was saying that all the photos had been imported. There doesn't appear to be any reason why certain events have been missed - no difference in title, or date. How can I make sure all the photos are imported?

If the iPad works like the iPhone you can move photos into the Camera Roll as shown here:
Then from there it should sync to your Mac. That's how I got the screenshot above to my iMac and into this post.
If you have an iCloud account and Photo Stream enabled on both your iMac and iPad new photos to the Camera Roll will automatically be synced with your iMac and imported into iPhoto as long as you have the iPhoto/Photo Stream preferences set this way:
Of course this is assuming the iPad functions similarly to the iPhone in this regard and I should think it would.

Photo become more dark than IE when using Facebook on Windows 8

Dear
I install firefox 18.0.1 on windows 8 for my PC. When i access to facebook, almost picture on my facebook page became a litte darkness. I compare to Chrome it's same. But when I compare to IE, every picture became normal, same when I using Firefox on windows 7 at other PC.
Could you tell me how to fix this problem?

Do these images have an embedded color profile?
That can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
You can disable color management to test that.<br />
You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

How do I "house" more photos than will fit on my internal drive?

I'm just about ready to try to make my entire digital photo collection available on my Mac. But since I only have 120GB, I think it will be too crowded to put them all on the internal hard drive (I have them in several locations, but I think the total will be around 60-80,000??). I have an external drive with PLENTY of space, but I don't keep it connected all the time. What is the best way to set this up? Hubby and I are separate users, and I can easily divide the libraries in two that way. Right now, all the currently taken photos are being put on "his side" in iPhoto.
Oh, and I'm using iPhoto 7 (iLife '08) on a Tiger (10.4.11) with no plans to further upgrade any time soon.
I haven't really read enough much about the iPhoto file structure, and prefer to just let iPhoto handle it, and then back up regularly...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the external HD is formatted for the Mac you can just move your library to the external and run it from there. You can have a smaller library on your laptop with more current photo or those photos needed for a project. iPhoto Library Manager can be used to quickly change from one library to anotherr and copy albums or events between the two.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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.

Pictures have more photos than LR

Hi,
I am just moving my photos from Aperture to LR by Exporting the Versions into non Aperture folders in finder and then "move" them into LR.
In LR it lists three short of the number that it shows in Pictures. So that presumably means 3 photos not been imported into LR somewhere along the way? Yes/No?
How do I go about trying to find the three?
I have gone through Find Missing photos and there are "no missing photos"
The synchronise option is greyed out so cannot select this option for some reason.
What else can I do to find the missing three photos?
thanks
john

Thanks,
How would I go about finding the name of one of the photos that isn't shown in LR? All I know is that there are three less in LR than Pictures.
I am unsure which Folder it comes from and I have now 900 odd photos to go through.
I tried using the procedures for moving Aperture to Lightroom but they all came out in date order which was of no help to me so had to move manually and export from my Managed Aperture Library to a Referenced one to begin with to be able to Import into LR. I did find the procedures rather unclear, no not so much unclear but it seemed built for people who understood a lot technical stuff than I did and didn't seem to be for beginners. Using Aperture I was taking photos, but since moving over to LR I have had to learn a lot about computers/cameras/background info to a lot of photography areas which is all new to me. Have learnt a whole lot and sure it has helped me but not without its pitfalls during my learning process.
Could I have Exported a Folder at a time rather than each photo then? If so how would I go about doing that?
I have noticed in Finder that some of the early photos that I exported (from Aperture) I can click into a see an image, yet most of them I just get a blank folder in Finder. The photos are in LR which is the main thing. Will it create a problem with not being able to see the photo in Finder? Not so much that I want to see them there but thinking about any negative knock on effects.
Look forward to hearing from you and clarifying these issues.
thanks a lot
john

Photo library shows more photos than it really has

My photo library has 41 photos, however when checking "Usage" it shows I have 10.4Gb. Why?
The complete Photo & Camera shows:
1. Photo Library = 10.4 Gb
2. My Photo Stream = 20.1 Mb
3. Shared Photo Stream = 821 Mb
when checking via iTunes, it shows I have 3801 photos, where are they? I know they are not the in recently deleted album.
Any ideas?

Hi rfirmeza,
It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you're still seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos on your device and storage space used, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

ITunes shows thousands more photos than I have on my iPhone 5s

iTunes says that I have over 3200 photos on my iPhone taking up over 11GB of space. I've only synced 1100 photos from iPhoto to my 5s via iTunes. I have less than 40 photos in my Camera Roll and less than 50 photos in my photo stream. I manually deleted everything from my "recently deleted" album in my iPhone app (system 8.1.1). Why is iTunes saying I have over 3200 photos, and taking up 11GB on my 32 GB iPhone 5s
Thank you for any advice you can offer

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 my iTunes show more photos than I really do on my device?

I only have 493 photos on my device but my iTunes shows that I have 644 and a lot of memory is used because of that? Any reason why this happens and how I might be able to delete the extra photos?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
