No photos on 4S, mysterious 2.4mb in photo library?

I just got a new iPhone 4S a few days ago, and have been playing around with it. I noticed that on my usage screen in the settings it says I have 2.4mb used from aomething in my "photo library", however I'm pretty sure there are no photos at all in my Photo Library. When I open the camera app it says "No Photos or Videos" and there are no photo albums at all on the phone, I've tried sync to iTunes to try and see if I could find what photo might be on the phone and to sync to remove it, but I can't seem to find (because there are no photos on the phone)

There is a folder on my computer selected that has one photo in it. I initially synced this one photo to my iphone as a test, so this one photo was on my phone for a brief period, however shortly after I went into iTunes and synced to remove this photo from my phone. From all accounts this photo is not on my phone anymore, or atleast I cant seem to find it (it should be in the photo library if it was)

  • How do I delete photos in my PHOTO LIBRARY (iPhone 4s)?

    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
    OS X YOSEMITE
    Version 10.10.1 (14B25)
    iPhone 4sVersion 8.1.2
    Jello,
         I am having trouble with my photos taking up a lot of space on my phone.  I have read many forums and can't seem to find the specific information I need to solve my problem: (when I plug in my iPhone 4s to my MacBook) iTunes shows that I have 943 photos. I can also see this amount of storage on my iPhone 4s (Settings > General > Usage > STORAGE > Manage Storage > Photos & Camera > Photo Library 6.8 GB).
    From the forums I have read, what I have done so far:
    Deleted all photos from Camera Roll, Recently Deleted and My Photo Stream
    Deleted all photos from iCloud/deleted all data from iCloud (Storage: 5.0 GB Available)
    Deleted all pictures from iPhoto
    Turned off iCloud for iPhoto (Mac) and Photos (iPhone)
    Deleted an old iPod Photo Cache folder (Home > Pictures)
    Deleted all backups from Macbook
    iTunes > Photos > Sync photos from > EMPTY FOLDER
    There has been no change in the number of photos stated in both iTunes and on my phone.  I have an idea that this problem could be caused by the Yosemite upgrade.  When I upgraded my Macbook to Yosemite, I had a problem with iPhoto where it was not updating because I had moved the previous version's iPhoto library to a different folder.  Once I moved that folder back into the Pictures folder (I guess where it belongs for it to work), the new Yosemite iPhoto began to work and I was asked to create a new iPhoto library (deleted the old version).
    Could this 6.79 GB of photos be from the previous version of iPhoto I had on my MacBook before I upgraded to Yosemite?  If so or if not...HOW DO I GET RID OF THESE MYSTERIOUS PHOTOS?

    Ok smart ***, I have a Photo Library with some images on it and I did NOT get them on my iPhone by syncing with iTunes. I took them with my iPhone and have never had them on my desktop computer.  When my iPhone was new a friend showed me this feature of making other libraries.  Now I can't figure out how to delete these images since there is no delete function as the other person here noted.  But thanks for the condescending attitude.  That's what we come here for.  Same reason I don't go into an Apple store.  I'm really, really tired of the condescension from the Apple heads.

  • How does iCloud Photo Library and Optimize iPhone Storage Work?

    Even Apple Phone support can't answer these questions:
    How does iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from yesterday's 8.1 update with Optimize iPhone Storage turned on work? (I'm on an iPhone 6)
    It only stores your iPhone/iPad versions on your device, which is amazing. Why would you need anything else? It freed up around 8-10GB of space on my device which is amazing. But how does it work when you use it?
    When you email it seems to ask you, when sending what size you want to send like it's always done. It gives you the original 2.4MB version. This works like I'd imagine and when I received the test email the photo was correct. In this case I assume it hits iCloud and sends it from there, not your actual device. (Like it doesn't re-download it to email it). Correct?
    When posting to Facebook, does it do this same thing? Or is this something Facebook has to build into their iOS app in an update? Or does it just work? Correct?
    When posting to Instagram, does it grab the right version. Obviously the phone optimized version should be fine, but when viewing on a Desktop version of Instagram at instagram.com, will it show the right version?
    Sometimes I backup photos using Image Capture on the Mac. If I did that right now, would it only grab the iPhone versions? Obviously I can just test it but it'd be amazing if someone who knows these things could explain all of these use cases.
    Do you need to be on
    In closing it's more of how does this work? Does it work? Why wouldn't you want to use this feature if it saved space and made more sense? I guess I just would love some real clarity since not even the blogs are explaining how it works in every application.
    In closing part 2. It does seem to work really well, it's just those fringe cases. I just viewed all my photos on https://beta.icloud.com/#photos and they're all there, easy download of the high res, delete, it deletes from my camera roll on my phone, it's amazing, it works, it's magic. Just tell me what issues there are with storing only low res iPhone on my device and if there are none, game on!
    Thanks!

    And of those 4.3GB of backup, my Photo Library is 1.4GB.
    So my question is, how do I prevent my Photo Library from being backed up to the cloud, since I already have a backup of it everytime I connect to iPhoto and it copies all those photos to my mac?
    I don't know, sorry. It's supposed to work alongside Photos & iCloud, so that photos are stored only once. When it doesn't work you have a couple of options as I see it –
    Delete the old backups on iCloud to hopefully start over (I don't like deleting the only backup of anything).
    Forget about iCloud backups & use iTunes to backup instead, it might not be suitable if you have no computer etc.
    Buy more storage for iCloud.
    I don't use iCloud backup, it bemuses me with issues like this, there is no easy way to resolve when it fails.
    And one more question while we are at it...can I erase iphoto from my computer now that I have the new Photos app?
    That is up to you. If you are happy you do not need it & have a backup of it go ahead & remove it. You can re-download it from the app store if it is already in your Mac App store account.

  • TS4253 How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on iPad?

    How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on the iPad? I have found no solution in the user manual or anywhere else. I simply want to rotate the picture from being sideways to being upright. Doesn't seem like this should be such a mystery. Or am I missing something obvious? Thx

    Thanks folks, I see there are photo editor apps for the iPad. I am downloading one now, and it should work. Good to know I wasn't missing something in the iPad itself. It does not have the capability to rotate or edit pictures without outside help. Thx

  • Strange PNG and TIFF Images in my Photo Library

    Several hundred icons have mysteriously appeared in my picture library. They are PNG files, and look like gaming icons, in multi colors. Some of the title descriptions are things like "Small Pop Up Arrow White" or "FTProgressRevealPressSelected." I can't seem to delete them. They keep reappearing.
    Has anyone any clue what these things are?

    It sounds like some application has been dragged into the open iPhoto window and all of the icons used in the application were imported into iPhoto. Since iPhoto copies by default the files into the library go ahead and delete them.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • "Can't open current photo library"

    I've been in the process of updating some very old iPhoto libraries from 2003 for iPhoto 9. The process has been working OK, until I installed the new 9.1.1 update. Now, when I try to open the library, I get a message that says "You can't open your current photo library with this version of iPhoto." and "This library must be upgraded by the iPhoto Library Upgrader application before you can use it with iPhoto. Please reinstall iPhoto from your iLife disc."
    So, I need to downgrade to get the Library Upgrader to work?

    I tried your above solution, but have ended up with one giant library and zero albums which I had used to organize my photos. I'd like to try another solution. Is their any way to "upgrade my library" as the dialogue box suggests? I only received two installation discs and neither of them seems to have the i-life applications as a separate file to re-install, so I don't know where I'm supposed to be able to get this mysterious "i-photo Library Upgrader." Any ideas? The only iphoto version that I seem to have is 9.1.1

  • Photo library occupy big storage

    this is not the issue related to iTunes! in the storage usage, there are four items for the Photos&Camera: Photo library (2.1GB), synced from iTunes Library (0.8kb), My photo stream (181mb), Shared Photo Stream(20.4MB). I can not figure out what the Photo library means, and why it occupies so much. I tried to restore my phone5s a few times, it did not work. even there is no photo on my Photo APP, the Photo library occupies 2.1GB.
    I am thinking this is maybe caused by the iCloud Pohto Library (beta) that is inactive now on my phone. However i can not try it, coz i can not enable it. It tell my that "You must be logged in to iCloud to enable could photo library"

    The Photo Library is where you pictures and videos are stored, and where you are able to view your pictures and video. Your phone has 2.1 GB in the Photo library because your library contains a lot of pictures and/or videos. Videos take up more space than pictures.

  • Photos creating a duplicate in a new file "Photo Library"

    I used iPhoto to make a few folders to add to my iPhone 4. It created the floders that I named but it also created a folder named "Photo Library". It is taking up space that I could use elsewhere. How do I get rid of that folder?

    I know your response is fom 2012, but I am having trouble with photo library on my iPhone 6.  I have removed all photos from device and "unsynced" all photos from iTunes and iPhoto.  However, mysteriously there are 3.5 gb of photos in "photo library".  and i cannot manage this in setting either!  Any thoughts on how to locate and destroy???

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • Can I share an iCloud photo library between family members?

    I am searching for a good photo and video backup solution for my entire family. Previously I was backing up photos to a Windows Home Server that did a weekly backup to Amazon's cloud storage; however, the system disk on the home server blew up, leaving me with the choice to rebuild the server or alternatively look for a more seamless, lightweight solution. I have large quantity of photos and video on a home server data drive, as well as a large number of photos that have been recently scanned to my MacBook pro. We have almost completely transitioned to Apple products and use Time Machine for Macbook backups, so that function of the Home Server is no longer useful.
    I like the concept of Apple's iCloud Photo Library; however, I need a solution that allows photos from at least my wife's and my devices to be seamlessly backed up to the library. We use different iCloud IDs. The ideal use case would be that photos taken on any of our devices (across a set of iCloud IDs) would be shared within a single library.
    Family Sharing allows you to share a number of things across family members, but currently the photo library doesn't appear to be one of them.
    Any pointers on how to proceed? Will the OS X Photo app and the move to bring iCloud library to the Mac make any difference? Any alternative solutions?

    Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
    I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
    Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

  • How does a family share an iCloud Photo Library?

    I have a wife and two kids, all with iDevices. We each have our own Apple ID, and we have a fifth Apple ID for the family. I'd like to have all four devices see and contribute to one iCloud Photo Library, preferably using that fifth Apple ID. Can I do this?
    As a note, I do this with the iTunes Store, happily. Apple allows you to set the iTunes Apple ID as a different one than the Apple ID used for everything else. I don't see that functionality with the iCloud Photo Library.
    We could, perhaps, cobble together some solution using sharing to the family library and whatnot, I guess. That may be the only way, but it seems clunky. I will figure it out if I have to.
    Thanks!
    Danny.

    I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
    That is indeed not possible. She'll either need to re-acquire all those apps through her own iTunes Store account, you'll have to give her the password to your account, or you'll have to do all the updating for her.
    Regards.

  • How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

    I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
    But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

    Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
    Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
    But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
    It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
    Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
    The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
    I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

  • HT1229 How can you transfer the  photo library from  an iphone to a mac.

    I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc.  Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone.  The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.
