Photo folders sync randomly

My photo folders will sync not alphabetically but random inside my ipad. Any suggestion on how to sync alphabetically without having to delete the ipod photo cache, I have 13500 photos and it takes for ever for for I tunes to rebuilt the ipod photo cache. Thanx

If you mean the photos within the albums then they will be ordered by the photo's capture date if syncing from folders (you can set the order on a Mac in iPhoto and Aperture), and the only way to change the order is by manipulating that date on the photos prior to syncing - more info on ordering http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 . I don't whether this will change in iOS 5, but you could try leaving feedback if you want the option to have them alphabetical : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty. The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Syncing Photo Folders; iTunes adds 2,000 photos also?

Hello all,
I click Sync Photos on iPad and iPhone sync. I select (create) a folder and add sub folders in it, with photos in the sub folders. I select that main folder as the folder to sync photos with for iPad and iPhone.
I sync my devices, and where I should have 200 or 300 photos, I have 2,338 photos.....
Now, I navigated around these Discussions and it seems that others have this problem. It seems to be a bug. No one seems to have a work around. With iPad, the extra photos are poured into the Photos/Photos section. Oddly, I cannot even find these photos on my iMac HD, so I have no idea where they came from. Tons and tons of photos that are not in the synced folders I ticked.
Apple, please fix this bug... 2,338 photos is ALOT....

Goodness, I feel bad... I found a folder that had been accidentally dropped into a sub folder in my iPad photo folders.
I learned that all photos in the main 'photo folder structure' will be included in the main 'Photos' section in your iPhone and iPad and iPod Touch. So if you have photos you do not want on your devices, (like 2000 photos), just not 'unchecking the folders' will keep them off of your device. You 'must' take the photos folders 'out' of the folder structure you have synced to. That will keep them out and keep some room on your device.
2,338, lol... Thats alot of photos.
My apologies for thinking it was a bug. Truly, I think that 'unticked folder's (folders selected only) is a bug, but I had found out what was going on with my system. If you select a main folder to sync with, and you have sub folders, and you tick 'sync selected folders only', then the 'excess and unchecked' folders SHOULD NOT go into the device... right?

Cannot sync all my photo folders into the iPhone 4

To be honest I am not certain this qualifies as either an IPhone issue or an iTunes issue, so I thought I'd start here...
This is my problem: I am trying to sync some photo folders into my iphone 4 (running on iOS 7.1.1) using iTunes for Windows (11.2.0.115), a collection of wallpapers I made for my iphone. I made a total of 1390 files which currently take only a little over 144 MB. Before the sync I checked on the iphone 'USAGE' to see the space available in it, and it reported I had 1.29 GB of space available (Confirmed by iTunes when I connected to my computer to start the sync).
When the sync procedure got to the point of importing the photos, it reported it was only importing 895 photos out of the 1390, leaving 495 photos out of the import.
All of the photos are JPEG files, and I verified none of them are corrupted. Also, I am not getting any error message indicating that the sync was stopped, or any message indicating that I had run out of space.
When the sync was finished, iTunes reported my iPhone still had 1.12 GB space available.
Can somebody please explain to me WHY is the sync procedure not importing all the photos I wish to import into the iPhone?
Any info any of you could send my way would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Your a bit stuck if you didn't back up your old computer.
But your apps can be re-downloaded later using your itunes account; you won't have to pay again.
You can download all your photos via wifi using an app like "wifi photo transfer".
There is no way anyone here can help you extract the music off your iPhone; iPhones were built to hold music to listen to, not to be able to get back off.
On the plus side again you can redownload all purchased music via itunes for free.
My advice would be to back up your computer this time.
And also to use icloud to back up your new iPhone.
If you have your old iPhone when you set up the new one it shouldn't take more then half a day to re-download everything and be close to the same.
Good luck.

Photos Not Syncing; Photos Missing From Albums, No Error Message, Running iTunes for Windows & iOS 7.1.2

I am having an issue with syncing my photos on my iOS devices running iOS 7.1.2, the two being an iPhone 4s and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.
When I sync photos, I keep on having photos turn up missing from entire albums. I have tried everything I can to resolve this issue from the support article titled <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697">iTunes: Unable to sync photos</a>, and nothing has successfully worked in any kind of permanent form. I have even gone so far as to sync albums individually with a limit of around 400-500 total photos per sync, (give or take), and tried using what very little options I have on the photos tab for my devices in iTunes to essentially trick the devices to sync the missing photos. Despite this, iTunes still fails to sync newly added photos from the source location.
I have even made the attempt of re-installing iOS 7 on both devices, and restoring from backup. Again with no avail.
My best guess for my iPhone is that as it is a 16 GB, not all of 15.6 GB of photos will sync to the device, (go figure), but that doesn't explain why recent photos aren't added OR why my iPad 2 of 64 GB has missing photos.
As of this post, I have an estimated 38,940 files, spread across 1,703 folders, (a large amount of folders being in some of the folders; from my knowledge never being more than two folders in). They are all in one dedicated folder on a hard drive I've dedicated to iTunes and music related files, (for the sake of AVOIDING this kind of nonsense, I might add).
As for the system OS and iTunes, I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.2.2.3, but will have updated to iTunes 11.3 by the time anyone responds.

I have the exact same problem.
Same kind of photos/videos taken with the same camera randomly sync.
Did 11.3 fix this issue?
Sincerely

Photo Folders in IOS 7.1

I have an iPad (2nd gen.) running IOS7.1 (latest update). I want to have separate photo folders in IOS7. I was able to do this on my iPod (3rd gen.) running IOS 5.1. I want to do the same thing on the iPad. I tried to drag and drop the folders onto the iPad but this won't work. I'm using a Win 7 laptop as my computer.

The folders need to be in a single containing folder and sync the container to achieve what yoyu are asking.

ICloud Photo not syncing + High CPU process (Win 8.1 pro)

This is a new persistent issue with my iCloud and I can't figure out how to fix it permanently because I was able to fix it few days ago, but issues return back a day later! So here's the full story...
I just received a new (AWESOME!!) Surface Pro 3 i5 256 GB tablet with Windows 8.1 professional. I installed iCloud on it as well as iTunes and Quicktime (the basics isn't it?). When setting up my iCloud account first, everything sync up correctly but after a few days (3-4 days), I notice than my Surface tablet are becoming pretty hot and making some fan noise (common Surface issue) when I didn't use it really. So I checked for a high-CPU process and I noticed than "iCloud Photo Stream Downloader" are stuck at 30-35% CPU for an hours ago. Moreover at this point I realized than my photos are not syncing for a few days. I fix the high-CPU process by rebooting, but my photo are still not syncing at all and after a few minutes after reboot, the "downloader" process stuck back to 30-35% and still not syncing!
So I first try some of the workaround found on the internet like sign out iCloud app, then kill all iCloud related process and delete folder %appdata%/Apple/Mediastream and reboot and sign in... same thing... after a few minutes, high-CPU usage + not syncing! I try to "repair" iCloud installation... same thing (high CPU + not syncing)... I uninstalled iCloud + reinstalled... same thing!
I finally fix the situation by uninstalling ALL Apple related software (iTunes, iCloud, Quicktime, Apple Soft Upd, Apple Mobile Sup, Apple App Sup, Bonjour, etc) and thereafter deleting all "Apple_xxxx" folders in %appdata% and also remove all registry keys from the Windows Registry related to Apple. Reboot then reinstall iTunes first and then run "Apple Soft Upd" to install automatically iCloud + Quicktime... then reboot, sign in and then the photo finally sync this time and no high-CPU process!
But a days later... High CPU + Fan noise on the tablet... so checked and the god **** "iCloud Photo Downloader" are again stuck at 30-35% and no more photo sync (I saw the old photos, but not the last day's photo are not sync).
Anybody experience this situation and know how to fix it PERMANENTLY? I checked at my Apple iCloud LOGS and the only thing I saw that can be suspicious is the last line of the log who's :
[2472 @ Tue Nov 11 19:45:09 2014] [YSLog ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe] defaults key ShouldLog in domain ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe is (null)
Please help!!

In fact I discovered later I have this issue on all my Windows computers... both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, both MACs (BootCamp) or true PC computers. Except only the Surface Pro 3 tablet seem to have the HIGH-CPU process issue, but all my other Windows PCs stopped syncing too after a few weeks or so.
I just build a BRAND NEW HP Pro Desktop computer running Windows 8.1 Professional and a few days later iCloud Photo stopped syncing too... this is the straw that broke the camel's back! This PC is brand new and no other software are installed except iCloud, iTunes, QuickTime and Microsoft Office 2013 (Office 365). PC is brand new (1 week old) and iCloud Photos sync is already broken!
I also have a few Windows 7 PCs at home (HTPCs on TVs) where iCloud Control Panel is installed and after looking at them, they stopped syncing too for a while (many months ago) but I didn't noticed it yet because I don't check photos often on them.
For now I just give up and disabled the iCloud Photo Sync completely on all my Windows PCs. It only sync between my two iPads, my two iPhones and my two Macs computer (MBPr + iMac 27") and that's it... that's sad, but I'm tired loosing my time with that crappy software!
PLEASE APPLE!! MAKE ICLOUD FOR WINDOWS BETTER!!

How do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.

You need to select and sync them in one go. Photos that you sync from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you've effectively been telling iTunes to replace the folder that you've just synced with a new folder

How do I create photo folders in my iPad

How do I create photo folders in my IPad ?

You have to create the folders on your iMac first, then sync with your iPad using iTunes. Then, the folders show up as albums on the iPad.

Can I have multiple photo folders in iTunes?

I have the Classic
Thanks

Photo Folders, unable to view them

I can see photos from a particular folder, but when I go to photo folders all I see is a black box. I am unable to see them but it will scroll thru them? I can select a random location in the black box & it will the change photos but I never know what I going to get.
I tried closing FCP then open iPhoto first & then open FPC but no good.
Any suggestions? thanks

I relaunched holding Option-Command & reset preferences. My photos are now there thank you. But now all my videos are gone?

'All Photos' is sorted randomly. Cannot be changed.

Ok, this is very frustrating.
I have 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0 (209.52.0).
I've just dragged about 9000 photos in Photos (all taken with my various iPhones over the years, correct metadata, EXIF, etc). Everything imported fine, with the exception that the 'All Photos' album is randomized. I see a 2013 photo at the very bottom with a bunch of 2015 photos. At the very top are some photos I took before I dragged the 9000 extra in there. Basically it's not respecting photo capture date AT ALL, and is maybe sorting by date/time of import instead. 'Keep sorted by date added' is checked (but frustratingly, greyed out).
If I go to Years mode, everything is correct as it should be. I can also go into individual albums and sort by date or name.
It's annoying because 'All Photos' follows the same order on my iPhone too, so i'm seeing a bunch of mixed up photos.
If I drag 9000 photos into Photos, why in the heck would I want that sorted by date added?
Anybody else seeing this? I reported this as a bug in the public beta, but no fix so far.
I really want to like Photos, but man…

Yeah, I do acknowledge that it's 'date added' rather than 'date captured' in the post. I just meant that it still appeared random to me.
I figured out what the problem was, and the following post is a solution…
Turns out a bunch of the files (i.e. the ones out of order) had erroneous file creation dates that didn't match up to the actual capture date. Not sure how that happened. Some were saying they were 'created' several years after they actually were.
So it looks like (at least when importing) Photos just scans the file creation date rather than the EXIF data. Maybe it's faster to do that, but it's kind of sloppy of Apple. They should know that file creation dates can get messed up.
To fix all this, I used the excellent ExifTool, which can sync creation/modify date to EXIF. If you don't have ExifTool, the easiest method is to get it using Brew, at http://brew.sh
Once brew is properly installed and updated, simply type into terminal…
brew install exiftool
Once you have that installed, in terminal I 'cd' to the folder of images and then run…
ExifTool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal" *
The * basically just means modify every file in that folder. I know that UNIX doesn't officially acknowledge creation dates, but this command changes BOTH creation and modification dates to be the same, which is fine in my opinion.
I then reimported all the images and everything in All Photos is sorted as it should be. Phew!

Aperture Library photo folders are not updated in iTunes view

The list of photo folders in Aperture doesn't update which doesn't allow me to select them and sync with my iPad. Selecting ALL would be too many for the iPad (60,000 plus).
I put new photos into Aperture 3.0 and can't get them onto my iPad.
Suggestions?

I can't really help, but I have the same problem. I really need to convert one of the RAW images in Aperture to a DNG using the Adobe DNG converter, but the converter can't find the image because the folders haven't updated.
I have restarted Aperture, the computer, all of the programs. Nothing seems to work. I don't know why the folders in the Pictures folder wouldn't match the folders in the Aperture Library. Most of them are the same, why not all?

New Photo Folders for Ipod Touch

How do I make new folders for certain photo groups for my Ipod Touch.I have folders already made up on my computer with the photos I want in them,but when I go to upload them on my touch,it puts all my photos under photo library.I know you can make new folders and name them,so could someone tell me how?? Thanks

It's simple. On a Windows system you place all your photo folders in the My Pictures folder. When you sync and tap on Photos on the touch you'll see at the top Photos Library with a count of every photo you have. That is created by the iPod and you can't remove it (you can, but it will come back). Then you'll see each folder you put in My Pictures. Tap on any one of them and you'll see all the photos in that folder!
So just set up your My Pictures to have a set of folders, each of which has the pictures you want under each name.
