Photo App on iPhone 5 has "syncing" message at bottom.

I synced my iPhone 5 to my mac and the photos load to iPhoto fine and the phone syncs fine. But, when I go into the Photos app on my iphone there is a "syncing" message at the bottom with a pinwheel.
Any advice on how to deal with this?

Hello, dangles8. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test opening the Photo App on your device to see if they load.  If the issue persists, see the second article below.

    Somehow the Notes app on my personal iPhone 4 has synced with my workplace Mac Pro.  How do I change this?

    They do not have the same apple id's.  I want to sync notes to my personal computer through icloud - just not my work computer. I will try to delete the account for my work Mac the way you suggest.  I just can't figure out how my Mac Pro linked to my personal iPhone.  They are separate accounts, separate ids, separate emails, Mac Pro account was set up by the IT guy at work.  Thanks for your help.

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Is there a way to recover my photos on my iphone that has not been backed up.  It was dropped in water and will not turn on.  I have had it in rice for 24 hours.  Thank you

    Is there a way to recover my photos on my iphone that has not been backed up.  It has been in rice for 24 hrs. 
    Thank you !

    No since thay have not been backed up. Hopefully the phone will work long enough after the 'rice treatment" for you to recover the phone and do a backup. The rice sometimes does not work. Good luck.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • IOS 7.0.3 Photo app, stuck on syncing message at bottom.

    Yesterday I updated to 7.0.3 and updated all my apps as well. After opening iPhoto, it seemed stuck on a message saying my Photo library is being upgraded. After numerous closer and reopening and leaving it overnight with nothing changed, I noticed that my Photo app is showing a syncing message with a wheel at the bottom that does not go away. I tried to reset all settings, removing and putting back iPhoto, removing iCloud account and finally restoring my phone and still the problem persists.
    Is there anything I can do beside setting up my phone as new which I really do not want to do at all.
    Thank you.

    I too had this problem, however I am running Windows 7 on a PC. This drove me NUTS for 2 days until I finally figured it out.
    Through iTunes, I was trying to sync pictures onto my iP5 from a specific folder on my desktop. It would start loading the pictures when I hit the "Apply" button in iTunes, but then the status bar would say "error" and stop the upload.
    As it turns out, the folder that I was trying to upload had a sub-folder with an old iPod cache in it. This is what was causing the "Syncing..." to stay present in my Photos app on my iPhone (must be unrecognized file types?). Once I deleted the cache sub-folder, I re-synced the desired folder, and the "Syncing..." in Photos went away.
    "i" hope this helps!

  • IPhoto not syncing to photos app on iPhone

    I'm trying to see my shared photo folders from iPhoto on my iPhone 6 using the photos app but under sharing, the iPhoto shared photos don't show up under Shared. I've made sure I'm using the same account on all devices and Mac and enabled sharing. What gives?

    Ok, in iPhoto I created a photo stream called My Cruise which I shared with those on the cruise. They can see those photos.
    In the Photo app on my iPad, using the Photo App, I can see the photos. On my iPhone, however, they're not showing up. This is on my phone. When I look on my iPad, I can see all my shared albums.
    I even turned off Sharing and turned it back on and nothing shows up. I'm using wifi if that even matters.

  • No thumbnails or faulty (noise) thumbnails in photo app on iPhone 4

    I've just received my iPhone 4. I've upgraded it instantly to iOS 4.1.
    Now I have a problem with the photo app on the iPhone 4. Nearly all photo's have no thumbnail in the app. I used iPhoto to sync the photos to the iPhone.
    I can open the photo's in the app correctly.
    Also when I look in the app say in "events view" I see distored noisy thumbnails. Just all kind of funny colors/noise.
    The photo's that were taken with the iPhone all have correct thumbnails.
    I've tried to remove all photo's and then resynced them with the same result. Also a reboot did not solve the problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Danny

    " is there no way to add an album or folder on the iPhone itself? "
    There is no way. You add folders/albums by syncing them from your computer.
    "This seems like a big lame step backwards from the 3GS where I head there's a simple + sign to add more folders'
    This has never been a feature of any iphone. You cannot add photo folders from the iphone itself.
    You can add folders for apps on the home screen. Perhaps you have this confused with photo folders?
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors your selected folders.

  • Places Data doesn't show up in Photos App on iPhone

    Hi everyone,
    I recently just imported a bunch of newer pictures from my Aperture library onto my iPhone.  The photos show up fine in the Photos app under Photo Library and Albums, but they do not show up in the 'Places" tab.  I have all the location information in the photos in my Aperture library.
    The weird thing is all the older photos I had on my phone from previous syncs show up in the "Places" tab. Am I missing something to get this info to show up on my phone?
    Thanks for your help.

    I figured it out if anyone else is having the same issue.  I had to manually kill the photo app and it updated the pictures I just added when I re-opened it.  

  • Photo app on iphone 5 freezing

    A couple of weeks ago, out of nowhere, the photo app on my iphone5 started freezing every time I try to do anything with a photo (such as send it in a message, post it to FB, delete it, etc.).  The only way I've found to unfreeze it is to restart the phone.  I tried turning photo stream off to see if that would help, and it made no difference.  I can't find anyone else who seems to have this problem.  I do have a lot of photos on my phone (over 1000), but I've had that many since I got the phone, and never had problems before.  The camera itself works great; it's only the photo app that's causing issues.  I use my phone as my camera, so this has been very annoying.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    Me too .. From right now :-(

  • Any alternatives to "Photos" app for iPhone/iPad???

    I can't stand the white background everywhere as a result of iOS7. For me, the worst is viewing my photo collections in Photos on either iPad or iPhone.
    Can anyone recommend a better alternative to Photos? I already checked out iPhoto and didn't like that either.
    I just wish Apple would give people the choice to select either black or white as a background, at least in the Photos app.
    So any alternatives to Photos or besides iPhoto?
    Thanks very much in advance. 

    I don't have another app to recommend to you but in the meantime, did you see this from the last discussion in the More Like This box to the right>>>>
    Click on a photo to view it in full screen.
    The photo now has white background, click the photo again and the background color will change to black.
    You can now slide through your camera roll photos with black background.
