Number of Photos in New Folders

I just did some reorganizing of my Lightroom Folders and the file folders on my machine and noticed that on many of the Lightroom folders there is not a number indicating how many photos it contains, just a "...". The photos are there when I click on it (no ? symbol either indicating a broken link). Any ideas why this has happened and if I can fix it?
Thanks!

The "..." is what LR displays while it's scanning a group of folders and calculating the number of files in it. I don't know why it wouldn't finish that process in a reasonable amount of time unless your folder structure is very large and complicated and your computer is slow. Do the correct numbers eventually get displayed?

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

Photo tab not showing new folders

Hi, I've got a problem with syncing new photos onto my iPhone.
I took a few new pictures from my digital camera, and wish to put it on my iPhone. I placed my camera pictures into a folder called 'digital camera' into 'My Pictures' folder. I then open itunes, click iphone, photos tab, and the 'digital camera' is not listed below (I ticked sync selected photos so that I can choose/see what folders there are). Any new folder that I create in Windows, doesn't show up anymore in iTunes, but it is there when browsing the pictures folder.
Any idea how to fix this photo problem in iTunes? I am using Windows 7 by the way.
Cheers

So I've been investigating a bit more on our "invisible folders" those last days.
If I create a new catalog, the problem dissapears. I can create new folders, import pictures like I did before.
So I thought our catalog was maybe corrupt, I checked the integrety and it returned to be OK.
I also found a post describing how to repair a catalog with SQLite which I did but the problem still there.
So I decided to try to create a new catalog and import the former catalog to the new one, hoping to keep all the datas but that the problem would resolve. But the import also failed with the error "Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error".
Right now I don't have more ideas....
If anyone has a clue, just give a shot

HT4906 i'm using an older version of iPhoto on my desktop Mac and I can't seem to control the number of photos appearing on my iPhone and iPad, will upgrading to the newer iPhoto resolve this?

What version do you have?
iPhoto menu -> About iphoto.
What goes to your iPad/iPhone is controlled in iTunes.

How to create new folders in photos?

I am sure this is simple but damned if I can find it.. how do you create new folders in Photos? I have camera roll but I want to create others..

If you are wanting to organise your photos on the fly on the iphone Im afraid you cant. But you can create a folder structure on your computer and from there sync those folders to your iphone.

How do i make new folders in the photo files

how do i make new folders in the camera on the i phone

If you are syncing from a folder on your PC, drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
If you are syncing from a photo application on your PC, use it to create albums and then select those albums to sync.

New folders for photos

No.
You create them on your computer, then sync the to the ipod:

Screen saver lag in loading photos from new folder

I use my screen saver to display the family photos in a side show. I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option. This is puzzling because when I move my mouse cursor to the upper left corner of my screen to activate the screen saver, it only takes a few seconds to begin displaying photos, even with iTunes and other apps running. But when I open the Screen Saver Preference Pane just to change the source folder or to make any other simple change in options (pan and zoom, time to activate screen saver, etc.) it bogs down completely for 2-3 minutes. This makes no sense to me -- if the OS can get the screen saver side show going on a folder with several thousand photos in just seconds when the hot corner is used to activate it, why does it take the Preference Pane version so long to load the very same photos in a preview window? The problem is so bad, that I rarely bother to change source folders now. Which is a shame, because the side show program does a stellar job displaying photos -- at least once it gets around to it! A possible solution would be to give the user the option to suppress previewing of images. I have suggested this to Apple in several emails, and with each update to the OS I hope to find the problem corrected. So far, no cigar.
As long as I'm at it, I'd like to make my annual request that Apple to make the Screen Saver side show a stand-alone application. My reasons, partly taken from an earlier post, are as follows. The built-in side show provided by Apple via the Screen Saver Preference Pane does a fantastic job of displaying even low-resolution photos in full-screen mode (especially with pan and zoom activated) without the photo appearing excessively blurry or pixelized. I don't know how the Apple programmers do it, but the photos displayed by the screen saver seem crisper and sharper than the same photos displayed by Preview or Photoshop. This may partly be due to an illusion created by the pan and zoom -- the expansion and shifting of the image on the screen causes the mind to focus on the signal, which is consistent from frame to frame, as opposed to the noise (pixelization) which varies somewhat randomly. I think there is some kind of perceptual averaging process that allows the mind to perceive the underlying true image, despite the low resolution.
Be that as it may, I love the iMac screen saver. But I can't get control of it because it is not a stand-alone app. If the side show were available as stand-alone application it would probably have other features such as the ability to pause, go backward or forward, set the duration of each photo, select background music, etc. These would be in addition to the pan and zoom options already offered by the Screen Saver Preference Pane. And unlike the Preference Pane, selecting a new folder for the side show would (hopefully) not dog the machine completely down.
I am aware that side show capability is available within iPhoto and also at the FINDER level when using Spotlight to search for images. But again, none of these are stand alone apps, they all work a little differently, and no one of them does everything you need. How about just having an app called Slideshow (or iSlideshow)?
Does anyone else see a need for this?

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

Just added a number of photos from my phone. It worked fine and I printed other photos but shut it down and Now it wont relaunch!! help.

I need a special tool just to access my own photos?
I suggested "Find any File" because it is easier to use than the Finder's search - the results there will depend, on what you have included in your Spotlight index.
To search using the Finder, open a Finder window; press the key combination ⌘F, and then set the search window to search "This Mac" and "Kind is 'Photo Library'"
Only, if the library should have become corrupted, this may not work. And the search will not look inside the packages.
The whole iPhoto library directory is only 556 MB so I guess the videos are lost for good.
How is the "Importing > Copy items to the iPhoto Library" flag set? See my last post.
If you imported with "store files" in there original location, the photos and videos will have remained on the card, until the crad has been erased.
Is there a way to start iPhoto from scratch so at least I can start over and have it not destory all my data next time?
You can create a new iphoto library, by using the command "File > Switch to Library > Create New".
Is there way to import my photos and videos without using iPhoto?
You can use the utility "Image Capture", that comes with every Mac to import your photos to folders on your Mac.
This program is horrendous!
I never had problems with it and like it, but I understand ....

Problems transferring photos from a Windows formatted iPod Photo to new G5

Hi all,
I have recently come back from an overseas trip where I stored many many photos on an iPod Photo, using a PC with Windows XP. Now that PC is stuck in the repair shop - most likely not worth saving - and I have bought myself a G5 with OS X and iLife.
Basically iTunes can recognise the number of photos on the iPod, however I cannot view them when I open the Photos folder when in the disk drive. Two folders come up: 'Photo Database' and 'Thumbs'. (I hope I haven't lost the HI RES photos!)
I know there was one post that mentioned creating an empty folder then sync it using iTunes in order to transfer the photos from the ipod- I'm just a bit weary of losing all the photos seeing a warning message displays a similar note.
I thought Mac computers can recognise Windows formatted devices/docs. May it be that the iPod needs to be updated?
I'm calling out to all Mac-savvy users out there who may be generous enough with their time to solve this annoying issue.
Cheers.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

Camera Roll showing incorrect number of photos

The Camera Roll doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.
When I import photos into iPhoto, i select the option to delete them from the phone.
The photos disappear, but the number of photos apparently in the Camera Roll isn't reset to zero.
Anybody else have this problem?

ShadyMac wrote:
Can you please post the process steps you're using to move or change your synced photos...
Typically, I would connect my iPhone to my mac, I would manually sync (automatic sync is disabled), I would then remember that I have taken photos, run iPhoto '09 and import the pictures, selecting to delete them when the import process is complete.
I have smart folders in iPhoto that include all iPhone pictures, so I would sync again to the the photos back on my phone.
Also...when you tell iPhoto to delete and then the camera roll still shows a number...are there pictures there or does it have no pics but still has a number???
After iPhoto has deleted the photos, the camera roll has the same number and the Camera Roll folder is empty.

Keywords PS CC - Number of photos applied to missing and can't search using keywords

Last night in attempting to coordinate/consolidate the keywords assigned to 40k+ photos by over 4 programs the past 2 years I made an error.
I had MANY photos with keywords Other/Statuary and I wanted to remove the Other part of the hierarchy and just have Statuary under Assigned Keywords.
What I did was create a new keyword for Statuary so I had both the Other/Statuary and just the Statuary under Assigned Keywords.
Then I clicked on Other/Statuary to display all in the Contents panel, Selected All, then applied the new Keyword Statuary and unchecked the Other/Statuary keyword.
What happened is the keyword counted down from 200+ to ZERO and all photos in the Content panel disappeared. Then when the keyword Statuary was unchecked under Assigned Keywords -- it disappeared.
Being late, tired and irritated I continued on thinking I had made an error and I would correct those keywords later.
BAD MISTAKE. I made thing much worse by doing the same thing to several keywords.
So, thinking I would be a "bright fellow" this morning, I deleted the Adobe Bridge Cache to let it rebuild it and copied back ALL my photos from a backup made yesterday when all was well in my world.
Now I have all the keywords listed and they show up in my Contents Panel per photo BUT there is no number to the right of the keyword denoting the number of photos it is applied to and I can't search by a particular keyword.
I had exported my keywords yesterday also and this morning I Cleared and Reimported those keywords.
All looks great and works great but no number of photos per keyword and can't search.
Oh God, please someone help me ????

I reset my custom workspace and all seems to be well now. My keywords now show, the number of photos each applies to and I can again search.
Thank you.

The number of photos in an event does not match between iPhoto and iTunes

Hi,
Not sure what's up but the number of photos in one of my events in iPhoto is 19 but on iTunes it shows (and syncs) as only 9.
Any ideas?
Jennifer

Not that I've heard -- but it looks like 250,000 for iPhoto -- a bunch
Apple - iLife - iPhoto
iPhoto makes sharing photos faster and simpler than ever before. It also adds great features, including Photocasting, support for up to 250,000 photos, easy publishing to the web, special effects, and new custom cards and calendars.

Number of photos in My Photo Stream differ on 3 devices, what to do?

I am under the impression that the number of photos that can be seen in My Photo Stream should be the same, no matter which device I use, as long as I am logged in these devices with the same Apple ID. Is this assumption wrong?
My wife and I use the same Apple ID, she on a MacBook Pro, I an an iMac and on an iPhone4S. On her laptop there appear close to a 1000 photos (what I would have expected from the Photostream description), but on either the iMac or the Phone I only get some 158 photos.
What do I do wrong, what needs to change to make them synchronized?
Thanks for your help.

Hiya,
I have a slightly more complicated question similar to this one and you seem to be the guru to ask judging from the other posts so here goes:
We have 2 iPhone 4S's (his & hers) an iPad and a (new) iMac in our household. All devices are using the same Apple ID. As far as I am aware (pretty new to apple and V new to mac) the photostream settings are the same on all devices. Here's the problem: photostream has a different number of photos on the devices:
his iPhone: 1000
hers: 345
iPad: 958
iMac: 309
so far, pretty similar to the other issues but here is where it gets even trickier:
When i updated my iPhone (hers) with ios7, it fell over and died. When I rebooted it, all of my photos and videos were gone. So the only place that those photos exist (not videos sadly) is in the elusive photostream. I am terrified to turn photostream off and back on again on any of the devices for fear of losing those photos.
Help??

HT201317 Photo stream number of photos is not the same depending which device I use

Why do I see different quantity of photos from different devices when I go to my photo stream?
From my iPhone i see ~618, while from my ipad I see less than that (~570)
Thanks

That's because photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from your photo stream but will remain on your device until deleted. When you connect a new device to your photo stream, it will only receive the photos from the last 30 days, as the others are no longer there. Thus, connecting different devices to your photo stream at different times results in a different number of photo stream photos on the device. In your example, your iPad was probably connected to your photo stream after your iPhone.
