My Photos Are Out Of Control

On the summary of my phone in iTunes it says that I have over 400 pictures. On my phone however, it says I only have 78. These photos are taking up a lot of unnecessary space!

Hello BelinaJo,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos your iPhone shows verses what iTunes shows. In this situation, one troubleshooting step that I would recommend would be reinstalling the iPhone Operating System.
First, for safety, either back up your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Next, I suggest placing your iPhone in recovery mode and performing an update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
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.
Have a great day,
Joe

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?
If its not possible, how do I go back to the old os?

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

Import photos are out of order

I hope I can explain this so it makes sense. I am trying to import photos from a compact flash card. When they come into Lightroom they are out of order. I have tried sorting them by all the different means in the drop down but still are not correct. I notice that for some reason some of the photos show incorrect dates and that seems to be what is affecting the import. Lightroom is putting the photos from the oldest date first. I was able to load the pictures into a folder on the desktop and they are in the correct order just using the camera file names. When I tried to load them from that folder into Lightroom, they went back to the incorrect order. Is there a way to import without the metadata? Is that what is fouling this up? I don't know where these weird dates have come from but they are there and I can't get rid of them.
I am running Lightroom on an imac with OS 10.4.11 and this is the first I have run into this problem. These photos are from an older camera, a Nikon Coolpix 885 and are my son's photos. I normally import from my Canon camera using a compact flash with a reader and have never had such a problem. Here I am talking up Lightroom to my son about how easy it is to get the photos in and organize them and he is not buying it at this point. Hopefully this makes sense and someone knows what is going on.
Thanks

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

Photo library out of control!

My photo library has 6 and 8 copies of photos. How can I delete those copies? Iphone 5 - edit - doesn't allow me to delete the library (which I wouldn't want to do). Within photo library you can only share or 'add-to' another folder. It is absolutely out of control. And don't get me started on photo stream... it's almost as bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - emme

iPhoto Diet is simply not recommended for use with iPhoto. Go to your iPhoto Library Folder and look in the Originals folder. Check through the rolls there. See how many shots you can find.
Post back.

Costs are out of control!

Wow, I am exhausted after searching your website for 30 minutes to find an email address. NOT customer friendly, and this is coming for a long time, loyal Verizon wireless user. I have watched your prices spiral out of control, and I have had enough.
I have been waylaid recovering from surgery and am just getting around to paying bills. And WOW - what the hell is going on with my phone bill? It has SKYROCKETED! I even went to the store last month in an effort to save some money, but now I am paying more than ever. This has got to stop.
Every other phone company is running specials except for Verizon. I am one step away - ONE - from walking away as a customer. What can be done about these EXCESSIVE bills TODAY? I can join Sprint with my boyfriend, his son and ex-wife ---- 4 lines for $100 a month (less with my discount) with more gigs than Verizon, and they will buy out my contract. $25 bucks a month for unlimited talk and text? Help me now or watch me walk.

I am in the same boat. Got a broken arm, needed the phone a lot, thought I could upgrade to 900 minutes for the remaining 9 days of cycle and onward, and the new bill is a full 75 dollars more than I expected. They charge you to upgrade or change plans. Hey, I wanted to give you more money! But don't steal it out of my pocket and then not have someone who can make an adjustment quickly.
I've been a customer over ten years.
Time to switch companies? If I don't hear good news back shortly, that is the plan. I don't count.
No they don't charge you to change plans they do prorate you. Nothing got stolen you should have backdated the change to the start of the billing period. You honestly thought you we going to get 450 AND 900 minutes in a month?
here's how it works in your scenario. you had 450 minutes 9 days left that means you used 21 days. 21/30 is .7. So you get 450 X .7 or 315 minutes in the first 21 days. Anything over that is going to be an overage charge. The last 9 days out of 30 is .3 so 900 X .3 is 270. So you'd get 270 minutes for the remaining 9 days. Anything over that is an overage. If you had backdated the change to the start of the billing period you would have had the full 900 minutes for the whole month. I'm 100% sure on the website it ask you if you want to backdate the change.
Also if you don't want to worry about overages on minutes then switch to More Everything, UNLIMITED minutes. Good luck with T-Mobile's cruddy coverage. Hope you don't plan on traveling.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Data usage numbers are out of control!

I have read some other post that make me believe there is a problem on Verizon's side in terms of data. My husband and I both have iPhone 5c and we are currently on the 20gb plan. Even though we both do the same things on our phones and generally use them the same amount of time, we are once again this month over our 20gb and once again it shows me using 3x more than he has used, an alarming 16gb in 3 weeks, I cant even begin to fathom this even being possible since I do not watch videos or stream music on my phone. Yes, a lot of email but even using the data calculator on Verizon site where I estimated higher than normal numbers it says I should expect to use about 4-5gb a month, not even close to 16gb in 3 weeks. I love my iPhone (had one with Verizon a few years ago and never used more than 2gb a month with 4 phones on that plan) and I really enjoy Verizon as a carrier, but one more $300+ bill and I can see my husband switching us right back to our old prepaid devices. Hope something can be figured out with this. I am very tech knowledgable and have been through all my settings, my phone is not showing me using nearly as much as Verizon says I have used. If anyone has any suggestions besides the normal "check settings" I am all ears!

You can disable it in the apps manager if it came pre-installed. You can just Uninstall it if you installed it on your own.
Snapchat, Facebook, and the like IF you hit the home button instead of the back button they'll run in the background and eat data. Some of them regardless if you use the back button they'll pole for data every so often.
Don't trust the time stamps in when you use data. Sometimes it was data you used much sooner in the day than the time it shows you. All carriers do this and there should be a disclaimer telling you this which most user never notice.
I use social media, but never on my phone.

Magnified photos are out of focus

When I magnify a photo in iphoto11 it is out of focus. How can I fix this?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Viewers may think your photos are out of focus and navigate away with a "pshaw!"

Suggestion for Adobe re: our online albums that people can access (such as http://bclayshannon.photosho.com):
When images are loading, use an hourglass or even some text to let the user know the fuzzy picture they are at first seeing is not the "final" image: just "hold your horses/keep your pants on" and the image in all its glory will soon display - something to that effect (at least an hourglass).

Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all my photos are actually in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different. It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album.
On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

Using Aperture 2, photos imported out of order

I'm finding that when I import pictures from my card reader, that the photos are out of order, a lot of the time, and am wondering if there is something that I can do to correct this.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can sort the images in Aperture in a number of ways:
You can also go into list view and sort on fields that are not in the list above. Finally you can modify the displayed metadata to add something to the default set that you want to sort on.

HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are coming out dark, what is happening?

The photos are dark. I am sending the photos wireless from my Toshiba Netbook NB205-N325BL with Window 7 Starter to my HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are dark when i send the photo from my iPhone 3Gs too. I have changed out the ink cartridges to see if that was the problem since the ink cartridges were low.
I have recently purchase this printer. I recently had a Photosmart All-in-one C7280 and was very happy with it until it stopped working with Win 7.
Your help is appreciated.
thank you,

Laura,
There are quite a few trouble shooting steps in my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0]. But to cut to the chase, first make sure you can run one of the Apps on the Printer and its getting content. Then make sure the firmware is the latest (Tools->Web->Automatic Updates->Check for Product Updates). Then power cycle everything (Router, Printer, iOS device). If it's still not working, more likely then not its a problem with your wireless router and Bonjour, so post back what brand of router you have, the model, and how your network is configured.
Just trying to help.

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
Thank you!
Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
Sharp:

This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.
