Mutiple photo folders on iPhone

When I did my orig sync to my iPhone (just learning), I created an iPhone sync folder in iTunes, as directed. When I synced, it created 2 folders (1 iPhone and 1 Photo Library) with identical photos. How do I get rid of one, and why can't I manage these like any other old external device? Also, but slightly unrelated, I got Mobile DropCopy and haven't a clue how to create a doc's folder on the iPhone. I'm resigned to Apple ruling my music world, but why does other doc mgmt have to be so convoluted? <Edited by Moderator>

You can't, and don't need to. There's only one copy of each photo. Pics on the iPhone are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. Albums are basically links to that library. If you have multiple albums (folders), the Photo Library is the 'sum' of all of them. If you have only one folder of pics, it's the same as the Library.
Also, but slightly unrelated, I got Mobile DropCopy and haven't a clue how to create a doc's folder on the iPhone. I'm resigned to the (benevolent) nazis at Apple ruling my music world, but why does other doc mgmt have to be so convoluted?
Suggest you try the DropCopy support forum:

Cannot sync iphoto folders after upgrading to mavericks. syncing caused removal of all photo folders from iPhone

After upgrading 17" macbook pro/late 2009 to mavericks - runs slow and having syncing issues. syncs freeze then quit. folders were removed from devices without my setting that up. will not add. all devices are NOT on OS7. Is this why??

You and me both! I thought my error (Unknown error (-50) popped up when I thought I'd try out MobileMe, (which, as an aside screwed a LOT of things up). Now I have no idea. I started getting duplicate bookmarks in Safari, and email from all over, and then my photos will no longer sync from iPhoto. I've never had this problem, had my MacBook Pro for three years, my iMac almost a year, iPhone for 2+. APPLE!!! ARE YOU LISTENING??????

Photo Folders on iPhone and iCloud

Hello,
I have my photos on my PC arranged by years in folders and sub-folders and I want to have them on my phone the exact same way AND have them saved to iCloud. I spoke to tech support and they say this cant be done. I would like to know if I can email or contact someone from Apple to add this feature.
If I DO NOT have iCloud Photo Library (Beta) or My Photo Stream checked I can then use iTunes to copy the folders exactly as they are on my PC to the iPhone but with this method I cannot save them to iCloud (unless someone has found a way)
I guess I am wanting them in iCloud so they will synch across my devices, otherwise I have to connect each devic
If I check iCloud Photo Library or My Photo Stream all the photos in the individual folders disappear and the go to to SINGLE photo file and its just to hard to
find photos searching through my thousands of photos

You can submit request for new feature at apple.com/feedback.
They will or will not integrate it depending on their decision.
Please on my behalf also submit that I would like my next phone to fly me to work, my toyota is getting old.
I keep asking, but they never do.

Cant add specific photo folders to iphone

Hello,
when I plug up my iphone to itunes and select photos, the only option it gives me is to sync with the entire "pictures" folder. It wont allow to select specific folders i have within "my pictures". It says i can sync my iphone with every picture i have and the ones i already have on my iphone will be deleted. I dont have the newest version of iphones software so that may be it, i dont know. could anyone help, please?

Make sure you have at least iTunes 7.1.1 or later.
Now when iPhone is connected. In the Summary screen look for a tab called Photos.
Once there. There will be a gray box. Does it show any names of folders at all?
Make sure you select the third circle that says Selected Albums. Then put a check mark in each album you want to sync.
Keep min mind each folder inside Pictures - Should be 1 folder with pictures in it
So example
Main Folder - Sub Folder - Pictures
Not
Mail Folder - Sub Folder - Pictures - More Subfolders - Pictures
Keep it clean and simple and it will be easier to organize
Let us know if you need more assistance.

Help needed on multi-level photo folders on iPhone

In trying to figure out how to create sub-folders for photographs on an iPhone, the bottom line seems to be that it's not possible. You can synce to ONE folder on a PC, and that folder can contain many folders, which will appear on the iPhone, but you can't have sub-sub folders - you can only have two levels, the main folder, and a set of nested folders within it.
I've read in three or four places that multi-level folders are possible is you use either of two programs, "Aperture" or "Photoshop Elements".
Question #1 - is this true? Will they allow me to create sub-folders on my iPhone?
Question #2 - is there a web page that explains how this is done?
I've given up on doing this on my own, as it just doesn't work, but maybe there's something else that I allows this to work if you buy one of those two programs?

Surendra , an ODS should have a Key field and not necessarily a Key figure however to create a cube / multiprovider , it is a must that you have a key fiugure , which leads me to ask the following questions:
1. Why do you need a multiprovider on an ODS with no facts(key figure)?
2. Why not an Infoset?
If this is for experimentation alone , trhe answer is clear,
A multiprovider cannot be created without a key figure , this goes against the very concepts of Data Warehousing and think if your architecture is correct and why you need a multiprovider and a multiprovider alone will satisfy your requirements.

After upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, my laptop cannot detect new pictures to import nor access photo folders in iPhone 5c

New ios 8.0.2 cannot import pictures to laptop from iPhone 5c

I just replicated it. If I accidently pull down notification center (or on purpose), it will no longer be possible to stop the alarm through normal means. If you cannot pull down the notification center while the alarm is sounding, your phone is set up differently.
My alarm and notification center are set to default settings.
I did discover that toggling the vibrate switch will turn it off but I’ve never noticed that feature before. So at least, there’s a workaround. I doubt this is the intended behavior, however.
I'll still mark this as answered. Thank you for your time!

My iPhone 3GS is making multiple photo folders, not good

I've been taking pictures and screen shots and they get put into about different folders randomly. Normally when I hook my iphone up to the computer, it will only show the "DCIM" folder, then "100APPLE" sub folder. Well now it is showing 100Apple through 110Apple folders and 999APPLE folder. Anyone know why it would be doing this? How can I fix before formatting it?
Thanks for looking

I assume that when you look at photos in the iPhone you see only one Camera Roll? So this issue is when you connect the 3GS to your computer, which I take to be a Win PC.
Using a Mac with iPhoto for removing photos from my 3GS (and 2G before it), I've not experienced this. But it is not unusually for cameras to do this. One of my Canon DSLRs stores no more than 100 images in one folder then creates another one. This could be the way the camera is implemented in the iPhone. If so, you can delete them or format them away but they will come back.

How can we get a new computer to recognize photo folders on the iPhone so they can be deleted from the iPhone?

My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

iOS does not operate on the computer.
If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer?

Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty. The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Additional photo folders take too much iphone space

Hi there,
I have a problem with my pictures and the way iPhone handles them.
I have an iPhone 4S and a PC. The problem I have is that I have 2 additional camera folders on my iPhone: I have the standard "Camera roll", and after updating iTunes last time I got "Photo Library" and "iPhone [my name]", they just appeared without my knowledge. I didn't create those folders and I don't need them. I would like to delete them without deleting my other photos from the camera roll.
The main problem with those folders is that itunes says that my pictures/videos use 9.6GB of space, but when I check them out in Windows, it says only 1.3GB. My camera roll folder has 100 pics and 2 videos, but those other folders have like 356 pics and 10 videos. On my iphone I currently have only those pictures that camera roll sees. It's much closer to 1.3 because 100 pics and 2 short videos can't be 9GB! So I guess those duplicate folders are filling the iphone with useless data.
I never sync photos, I just copy them from my iPhone to my PC folder manualy. I don't want to sync photos as I want different pics on my iPhone and on my PC - on my iphone I want just a few pics that I want to show to other people (like my baby, cats etc), and on my PC I want all the pics I ever took.
What am I missing? Do I have to do something with photo sync or is there an option in the itunes that I can delete those old photos? Can I manualy delete something from the "Iphone [my name]" folder on my PC or something?
Thanks in advance,
Pikka

I'm running iOS 5.1 on my iPhone4 and my new iPad3. But I never saw this color effect on my iPhone3G or iPod2G as well. I did sync some slideshows as well, but that is done on a Mac, not a Windows PC.
What are the settings on your camera when you shoot the photos? Is the sRGB profile embedded by the camera? Any RAW formated pictures involved?

Cannot sync all my photo folders into the iPhone 4

To be honest I am not certain this qualifies as either an IPhone issue or an iTunes issue, so I thought I'd start here...
This is my problem: I am trying to sync some photo folders into my iphone 4 (running on iOS 7.1.1) using iTunes for Windows (11.2.0.115), a collection of wallpapers I made for my iphone. I made a total of 1390 files which currently take only a little over 144 MB. Before the sync I checked on the iphone 'USAGE' to see the space available in it, and it reported I had 1.29 GB of space available (Confirmed by iTunes when I connected to my computer to start the sync).
When the sync procedure got to the point of importing the photos, it reported it was only importing 895 photos out of the 1390, leaving 495 photos out of the import.
All of the photos are JPEG files, and I verified none of them are corrupted. Also, I am not getting any error message indicating that the sync was stopped, or any message indicating that I had run out of space.
When the sync was finished, iTunes reported my iPhone still had 1.12 GB space available.
Can somebody please explain to me WHY is the sync procedure not importing all the photos I wish to import into the iPhone?
Any info any of you could send my way would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Your a bit stuck if you didn't back up your old computer.
But your apps can be re-downloaded later using your itunes account; you won't have to pay again.
You can download all your photos via wifi using an app like "wifi photo transfer".
There is no way anyone here can help you extract the music off your iPhone; iPhones were built to hold music to listen to, not to be able to get back off.
On the plus side again you can redownload all purchased music via itunes for free.
My advice would be to back up your computer this time.
And also to use icloud to back up your new iPhone.
If you have your old iPhone when you set up the new one it shouldn't take more then half a day to re-download everything and be close to the same.
Good luck.

How can I delete photos from my iPhone but keep them in iCloud? I.e. I want more than just a backup of what's on my phone, I want selective storage of my photos. Can iCloud do that?

Hi,
Can I use iCloud as photo storage rather than just backup? Right now, it just syncs the photos from my iPhone. I want to delete some photos from my phone, but keep them in the cloud.
I also want to be able to adjust the settings of certain folders in iPhoto to do different things.
I.e. I have a "work" folder in my photos app on my iphone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in dropbox and be erased from my iPhone.
I have a "family" folder in my photos app on my iPhone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in iCloud and erased from my iPhone.
Finally, why can't I log into iCloud from anywhere and see my photos? For example, when I go to my friend's house, I want to be able to log into iCloud from his computer and show him photos that are no longer saved on my phone, but rather stored in the cloud.
Would I be better off with dropbox, flickr, or Amazon for something like that?
Thanks!
Amy

If you have the photos on your computer a great way to test is to remove your phone from your computer and see if the photos are still on it; if they are still on your computer you are free to do so
Also when you are importing photos from the device to iPhoto you should get the option to delete after importing

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..
