Nano shows 4.2G of photos stored, but I have no photos

Ipod shows 4.2 gigs of photos but I have not photos. I tried changing photo folder to an empty folder and I have also tried removing the photo sync option. How Do I free up this space?

Restore it in iTunes.

There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

From some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. The photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

from some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. Now all the photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network?

I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

I would guess that a TV series takes up a fair amount of storage capacity. It is just a standard message I think that may indicate that you are actually running low on storage space.
If you go to Settings>General>About how many GBs are specified as being available? If you are low on space maybe deleting some apps may help.

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

Photos missing but when searching all photos in finder they are there

Not long ago i noticed that all my photos after july 20th were missing. The next thing that was there was an update i did just 2 days ago which was the end of august at the time. So almost 1 month was missing out of my iphotos photos. I didnt know what to do and 1 day my wife was searching for a photo that did not show up in iphoto but in the finder under all photos its there. The data file the original and the modified photo full size are all there. in the folder date they should be in.
I have tried rebuilding the iphoto database and nothing changes. I can open these photos in preview just fine i can email them to people i just can not see them in iphoto.
I deleted my entire ilife 08 and reinstalled it from the DVD. that did not change anything
I dont want to lose these photos but i cant figure out why they do not show in iphoto yet they are in the iphoto folder where they should be.

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.

Unchecked 'Sync Photos' box, but there's still photos shown in the capacity bar.

When I plug in my iPhone 4 to iTunes, I noticed a large amount of space being taken up by the photos section. About 3.28 gb. The problem is, is that I only have 208 photos. I'm pretty sure that that amount of photos can take up that much space in my phone. I've gone through my photo library, and taken all the photos off of my phone, but even then it still says that there's over 1 gb of photos on the phone. I don't know what to do here, and if anyone has any idea on what to do please let me know!

It consists of iles that do not fit into the categories listed. That is why it is called "other".
If greater than aboout 1.5 Gb that
usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

How to create an Album but not have the photos in the main library

We have some personal pictures of our kids birth and want to create a private folder and place the photos in that folder and then delete them from the main library. So when we show friends etc our photo collection they don't see these private photos.
However when we move photos into our private album they re-appear in the main library!!... how do we get around this?
Thanks for any help!
Power Mac Dual G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Steve, it sure is possible.
First gather up all the photos and put them in an album, then Share>export the album to newly created folder on the desktop.
close iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you see a message window.
Choose to create a new library and name the library.
Now import the album on the desktop.
to switch between libraries use the Option key at at launch.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.

On my phone I have more than 306 Photos in Photostream folder while on my PC i have only 75 photos in Photostream. How can i sync all of them to my PC?

Which version of iOS do you have, and are you using iPhoto iOS with your iPhone or the Photos.app?
Where have you looked? in iOS 8, have you looked at the "Hidden" album or the "Recently Deleted" album?

How to move selected photos to iCloud (I have 29Gb photos and 15Gb iCloud storage)?

Hi
I have 29Gb photos and I can't back them all up in my 15Gb iCloud storage.
How to move some of them to iCloud?
Thanks in advance!

Hello MagStock,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It is not possible to save photos to iCloud directly.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.

iCloud also stores all your photos recently added to your devices in My Photo Stream.
Have a nice day,

Nano shows up in Windows and Updater, but not in iTunes

I have been having trouble for the past month with my ipod nano. What happened was I was installed a program to convert avi files to wmv files and it required me to install another program that put a lower quicktime on my computer, quicktime classic I think it was called. When I opened itunes later it gave me an error saying itunes needed to be reinstalled, so I went to apple and downloaded the newest version of itunes and installed it. Ever since then itunes has not picked up my ipod. It shows up in My Computer and in the updated, and when I plug it in it even launches itunes, but it will not show up in the iTunes source panel on the left.
Here is what I have done so far with no avail:
Also I have these two updaters installed on my computer: 2006-03-23 and 2005-09-23
-Restored my ipod to both updaters
-Used Gailpod’s method of formatting and then restoring. I restored to both Updaters
-Completely removed any instances of Itunes on my computer then reinstalled.
-Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and ipod
-Did all of the “5rs”
Now I am just going crazy it feels like. It was working just fine until I installed that program. I am not sure what to do. Also my device manager is fine, all the devices are still showing up.

I installed iTunes on a computer that has never had it on it before and it still will not pick up my ipod, yet windows shows it as well as the updater...I have ruled out iTunes and the cord, I believe something is wrong with the iPod itself....any suggestions? I have restored it and formated it, not sure what else I can do

Hello ShannonT-1977,
It sounds like you need to look at your iCloud storage data to see what is taking up all the space. You should be able to do that with this article:

I've filled up 100GB, so deleted photos. But still have 50GB of "other." ??

In an effort to keep my MacAir 13" fully functional I've deleted some pictures. This gave me 51GB free space, as shown on the "storage" tab in "About This Mac." I'm storing the pictures on a little Porsche Design, 1T external drive.
I'd like to find the 37GB of "other" and store that elsewhere too. Where is it?
About this mac shows, Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, Backups, "Other." Other is the only big segment.

Dont worry something weird happened its all fixed now for no reason!

HT201317 I just recently switched back to my iPhone 5 c and I had all my photos on my photo stream but once I transferred photos from an old phone to thoe 5 c my photo stream won't download all my pictures what should I do?

I just want to know how I can have all my photos back on my phone

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.
