Photo albums in iOS 5

Hi there,
I used to sync my iPad1 with iPhoto to create a dynamic display of our multiple product lines. Everything went fine until the iOS 5 upgrade.
For whatever reason, albums on the iPad now appear to be classified in a strange manner, unlike on iPhoto where I have ranked them by alphabetical order. I thought it would be solved if I sorted the albums manually on the iPad, to recover a convenient way of accessing each product line in no time.
The bad news is that I had to update a couple of photos in iPhoto. Guess what? When i synced my iPad to take these changes into account ... it went back to the original "order" of albums. So I had to do the manual sorting all over again. What an awful waste of time!
Is there any parameter or initiative that I am missing to get my iPad to suit my professional needs again?
Otherwise, I would hope that Apple developers realise that the present iOS 5 photo album classification is IRRELEVANT for businesses who use iPads for marketing purposes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have named all my 16,000 photos when saving into appropriately named Albums in iPhoto. The albums are arranged in iPhoto in alpha order. My 3Gs has always mirrored that alpha order. It's annoying enough that you can't search Photos on iPhone by name (as you can in iPhoto, and even in Photo Browser in Apple Mail) but NOW, after upgrading to iOS 5, my Albums on iPhone are just some seemingly random order, album names starting with a "B", say, may be mixed in with "S"s or whatever, making it extremely inconvenient to find an album.
I cannot fathom the WHY for this. Please, Apple: I would love to see Search available for Photos on iPhone. But at the very least, PLEASE allow some way to restore Albums in alpha order on iPhone. Do this quickly, please. It is NOT sensible to have to scroll through randomly arranged Albums.

Photo albums in IOS 7.0.4

I have just updated the software on the iPad to IOS 7.0.4 and can no longer view or access our photo albums. They appear as a numbered square which try to load when activated but nothing happens.

After copying the pics to new album tried to delete these pictures from camera roll. But it deleted pictures from album as well.
Actually, that is how it is supposed to work. Albums only create new views of the photos you are storing in your camera roll. Albums do not actually hold copies of the Photos, just a reference to the photo in the camera roll. Albums are more like collections of bookmarks to what is kept in your camera roll. This way you can add a photo to many different albums without needing extra storage for these photo albums. But if you delete a photo from the camera roll, it will be removed from all albums, since the photo is no longer stored on the iPhone.
If you have an iCloud backup or iTunes backup of your iPhone, that still has the photos that you just deleted, you could try to restore your camera roll from the backup, see: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

How to fix disorganized photo albums after IOS 8.3 update

After I updated to IOS 8.3 my photo albums on my ipad are all disorganized AGAIN!! This happens every time there is an update.

After updating to IOS 8.3 last night (4/9), my selected albums I want on my iPhone are there, but it added a bunch of others that shouldn't be. It seems to have created albums using photos from the selected albums I already had, so now I have more photos mostly duplicates & more albums. Those additional albums don't match the photos that are to be in them. Weird. Apple please fix this pronto!!

New photo albums after ios 7 update

So Apple decides that I would like a default photo album folder titled Panorama included in the IOS 7 update to my iPad 3.
Any panoramic photo I had in my iPad was automatically sent to this new folder. Don't want it...don't need it.
Can't delete the folder of course, but it won't even let me delete the photos in the folder. When you open the folder, choose Select, and then select the photos, the trash can doesn't light up so I can trash the photos. Only the Add To button & the square button with the pointing up arrow light up.
Of course, the new IOS 7 Guide book is no help..
Does anyone know a way to get rid of this folder or at least the photos within?

I was able to delete pics from mine. Kind of worked backwards imo but I scrolled to the pic I did NOT want and then pressed the trash. Then I got the option to delete the pic. In other words I didn't actually select it first other than having it in view.

Photo Albums in iOS 5 download

I have created some new photo albums with photos from my camera roll but but now I cannot delete these photos from the camera roll. Why does it not let you do this I love the fact that we can now moved photos to an album of there own but now have I have two lots of the same photos one in camera roll and one in the album which I don't want. This would use up more space having two lots of the same photos surely it would be bext to have a "move" option instead of a "add to" then we would have two of the same photos.

Sorry I meant to say that if we hasd a"nove option instead of a "add to" option then we wouldn't have two lots of the same photo.

Is it possible to delete entire photo albums in iOS

iphone 5s / iOS8.1 - iMac / Yosemite
When i transfer important pictures from iPhone to Aperture I like to keep them on my phone until I know my Mac is backed up. Once backed up I want them off my phone. However, as far as I can see, photos in iOS camera roll can only be deleted individually and right now I have about 6 albums with 800 pictures.. I don't want to delete them individually I want to delete the whole lot - am I missing something? Surely there should be a simple way to select and delete an album?
By the way, i am not talking about sync'd pictures here so it's not a case of deselecting sync'd albums in iTunes.
any ideas?

I haven't done it in a while but you may want to connect the phone to your Mac and open Image Capture on the Mac. I don't remember that it allows deleting by folder but if not it still would be faster than doing it one by one on the phone. The delete icon is at the lower left (red circle with line through it).

How do I choose a photo as albumcover in the Photos app? (iOS 8)

When viewing albums in the Photos app, you can change the order of the photo's by pressing select in the upper right corner, holding down a photo and moving it around. The first photo in the album (in the upper left corner), would then become your albumcover for that album. At least in iOS 7.
Now in iOS 8 after rearranging photo's in an album, the cover seems to be a random photo from that album. With no option to change it, so it seems.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I missing something?
Can anyone tell me how to choose a diffirent cover for my photo albums in iOS 8?

It happens to me too. When i add a photo into an album, after the sync in the itunes the cover is a random photo from that album. I would also like to know whether this is something new or it is a bug.

How to transfer photo albums created on the iPad to Aperture or iPhoto?

Hi!
I have created a photo album on iOs 5 with selected pictures of the Photostream features, now I'd like to sync back this album to Aperture 3.2.2 or iPhoto on the Mac, so I can share them with Facebook or MobileMe.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks

Thanks Fred, but the only photos that appear in Apertureare the ons of the iPad photo roll, not the Photo Albums created from the Photostream.
Hence, once pictures are in an album which was created directly on the iPad, I do not see any option to sync it back to Aperture or iPhoto. As the pictures are from Photostream, I do not see options in the photo album to save them back to the photo roll.
I created the album on the go, because, I was travelling without my computer and thought it would be great to make on the iPad the picture selections of the photos that I had put on my computer but did not have time to classify. I did the selection of photos, put them all in an album. There is no way to share back these 300 pics to Facebook or Mobileme or Flickr directly from the iPad, so I want to bring them back to my MAcbookPro to do it, but i can't find a way to transfer the album to the computer, and now, I have to do the selection again... Seems like Time wasted...

How do i change the title to my photo album:(ios7)

How do I change the name of the title for one of my photo albums in ios 7

When you set the podcast up in WordPress you must have entered a title; it's presumably there that you can change it, and then re-publish it, though I can't advise on WordPress.
One caveat, though: some podcast creation services derive the feed URL from the title: I don't know whether WordPress is one of them, but if it is you shouldn't change the title because if you change your feed URL withouth redirecting iTunes to a new feed in the proper manner you will lose control of your podcast.
The method of changing iTunes to a new feeed URL requires the old feed to be left in place with a special tag added to it (I don't know whether this is possible in Wordpress) - the method is detailed here:

However if the feed URL is not affected by changing the title then you can just go ahead and change it.

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

HT4623 Take pictures, but are not taken to save them in a photo album. This problem occurred after you update to ios 6.0.2. My phone is iPhone 5

Take pictures, but are not taken to save them in a photo album. This problem occurred after you update to ios 6.0.2. My phone is iPhone 5

That's corrected, they save to your camera roll.

After updating to iOS 5, the Photo album stopped working.

After updating to iOS v5, my iphone 4S's built-in Photo app stopped working.
The Camera takes a photo, but the photo disappears from the camera roll and shows no photos in the photoalbum.
My iPhone used to take photos so, I don't believe it is a hardware issue.
Is anyone having the same problem?
Would there be a update of the v5 to solve this issue?

I figured it out.
In my case, I just needed to restore my phone to the factory setting.
My iphone = iphone 4 running iOS v5
My computer = iMac
Software didn't work = preinstalled "Photos" app
Symptoms = after I take a photo, the image thumbnail of the camera roll shows the image, but images are found neither in the camera roll nor in the albums of the "Photos".
Solution procedure:
connect the iphone to iMac
in the Summary window of the devices, click "Restore"
choose not to save the backup file
choose to restore the iphone as a "NEW" device instead of choosing a backup files*
follow the rest of instructions.
It helped and now I can view my photos in the photo album.
* However, I accidentary re-restored it with a saved backup file and the "Photos" application stopped working again. I repeated the resotre procedure avoiding the accidental restoration to a backup file.
The camera and the photos were working before iOS v5 update, and it is now working again. So, it is obviously not the hardware issue. It seems that iOS v5 and the Photos are having compatibility issue Apple should look into this issue.

IOS 5 Photo Albums

I have been attempting to create new albums within the Photos app (iPhone 4, IOS 5). It seems that after I've created them (by adding photos from the camera roll), at some point they simply disappear. The timing doesn't seem to be consistent--sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes after a few hours. The camera roll and photo library are not affected, just the new albums that I created. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah this is REALLY frustrating. It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5. I've managed to figure out how to get rid of the duplicate photo albums by making a new folder outside the iPhone folder on my PC which is located in "My Pictures" on my computer. I moved all the pictures from my actual iPhone to this new backup folder plus copied what was in the iPhone folder on my PC.
Once I was sure I had backed up all my pictures taken with my iPhone I deleted everything in the "iPhone" folder on my PC including the iPhone Cache folder. I synced from the folder "iPhone" which was now empty & it made the duplicate albums disappear.
I tried syncing from the backup folder to using iTunes & WHAM duplicate photo albums again!!! All the same pictures but now one had the name "Photo Album" & the other duplicate was named the folder that I synced from. IRRITATING!!!!
So I got rid of the duplicate albums by deleting everything in the iPhone folder on my PC & syncing from that folder chosen in iTunes. It's a drag that I can't load up my pictures to enjoy or share without duplicate albums showing up. I want to be able to put pictures from my computer to "Camera Roll" which allows me to delete whatever I don't want easily.
I hate that Apple has made this iCloud thing so duplicate folders show up on my phone without my ability to just delete pictures from those albums or delete the albums easily from my phone.
FIX FIX FIX it Apple!
I should also note that I never allowed iCloud services on my iPhone & have NOT downloaded the service to my computer either. I don't want anything to do with iCloud.

IOS 5 Duplicate Photo Albums

iOS 5 produces exact duplicate photo albums in my Photos on my iPhone.
Before syncing photos from my PC I had Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
In iTunes I configured my iPhone to sync with a folder containing photos, for this example we'll call it FolderX.
When the iPhone synced with that folder it created TWO albums, one called FolderX and one called Photo Library and they BOTH have the EXACT same photos.
So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, and FolderX with the last two albums having the precise same number of the exact same photos.
I do not need this. I do not need two photo albums with the exact same pics. Why on God's green Earth would they make it do this?
When I click the "edit" button I do not get the option to to do anything to the albums except the FolderX album, and it only has the option to move it, but alas, it really doesn't let you move it even though the button is there.
I have already deleted all iPhone and iPod photo cache folders and resynced.
What do I need to do to have only one album on my iPhone with my photos, and not two?

Yeah this is REALLY frustrating. It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5.

How to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.
