Photo Library Images as Wallpaper all messed up

Hi All,
this one's driving me nuts.
I have a bunch of photos synched from aperture to my iPhone 4 (iOS4.1). In the Photo Library, they look amazing. all good. High resolution, crisp - impressive.
If I attempt to use one as my Lock or Home screen, the Settings app only gives me what looks like a blown up postage stamp sized image - totally unusable.
I've removed all photos, and synched. added them back and synched, but nothing seems to work. the photos that look flawless in the Photo Library are junk when used for wallpaper.
Anyone know why two versions are being used and how to get rid of the crappy ones?
Ben.

I'm taking long deep breaths to keep from yelling and cursing. I read the article and found that nothing would work but putting everything (23 GB) back on my C: drive. I had to move other folders and finally put everything back. Then the original (I suppose) iTunes library seemed to work. Still I had to move and/or re-identify dozens of items. Finally everything worked. I then used the "correct" instructions and moved everything. All seemed okay. I tested everything and it worked. I then did the final instruction - to delete the original iTunes Music folder. Not the iTunes folder on C: - but the iTunes music folder. Now everything is GONE again. The lists in iTunes show everything but nothing will play because it doesn't know where anything is. I can only assume that the iTunes library was in the iTunes Music folder that the instructions said to erase. And no my Recycle bin is not active. several years ago I got tired of running out of disk space and having to erase everything twice. I have tried opening iTunes with everying iTunes Library file on every disk I have and nothing works. So I have to do everything all over again.

ICloud Photo Library won't sync all photos

I've enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Macs & iOS devices... and have noticed that all my photos are not being sync'ed to iCloud... and the ones in iCloud are not being sync'ed to all my devices. (I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3 on the Macs and iOS 8.3 on the iPad/iPhone.)
In my master Library on my iMac, I have 20,233 Photos and 344 Videos. According to the Photos app, all have been uploaded to iCloud.
However, according to iCloud - only about half of those photos are uploaded.
(I have plenty of storage on iCloud... I have paid for 200GB and am only using about 40GB.)
On my Macbook - I started the Photos app with an empty photo library, and then turned on iCloud Photo Library. On that computer, it reports a different number of photos - 9,923 photos. And, it too is supposedly "updated completely"
When I browse the Photos on an iOS device, it's about the same as the MacBook - but not exactly.
Anyone have any ideas here? I would expect all the photos from the iMac to show up on all devices.
Is there a log file somewhere I can examine to understand what is being uploaded and what isn't?
Thanks!

I managed to fix the problem articulated above. I think only photos that are copied into your Photos Library can be synced via iCloud. And, the approximately ~10,000 photos missing from iCloud were not in my Library.
On the iMac Photos Library, I selected all the photos (Cmd-A) and choose File->Consolidate from the menu... and this popup emerges:
I clicked "Copy" which apparently copies all the original images from my Pictures folder into the iCloud Library itself. Once this was done ... it uploaded missing files. Now - on all my devices I see the exact same number of photos and videos.

I have imported my I photo library into Aperture. all the old i photo events are now in the aperture library showing number of photos but when clicked none display. I can see the photos if i run the cursor over the project. Help please.

I imported my i photo library into aperture.
I can see the i photo events in aperture library as events with the number of photos in each event.
When you click events in the aperture library no photos appear although if you roll the cursor over the event icon it show the photos. If you click on the event either on the event icon or in the library no photos appear.
Help

Check, if you have any filters set. The search fields in the Insector panel and the browser should be showing "All items" or "Showing All".
The Browser search field could be set for each project and album individually, so you have to check it for each project.
Regards
Léonie
For example: The projects count shows "20 items", but the browser is empty, because the project's filter is set to show only rejected items.

Limited quantities of Photos library images & videos

A big drawback I have discovered when trying to access your new Photos library in iMovie is that if your are optimizing your hard drive space, iMovie will only show you pictures and videos that are actually on your hard drive. Put another way, it doesn't seem to pull any content from iCloud to use in iMovie projects. You have to manually download any media (in the Photos app or otherwise) you want to use before you can use it in iMovie or see it in your Photos Library section in the iMovie 'Libraries' sidebar. This was a little confusing to me at first, so hopefully this helps someone, and brings this issue to Apple's attention.

Interesting. When using media from the library of another application like iTunes, iPhoto etc. iMovie links to that library and does not make a copy. This would be a problem for items in the cloud since the access time would probably be too slow for iMovie. However it could make a local copy but apparently it does not.
Please note that this a user's forum. I you want to raise an issue with Apple use this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Moving iTunes library to external HD - all messed up

My C: HD ran out of space and my iTunes library was the biggest part so I decided to move it to an external HD. For reasons too complex to go into I have several. I followed the instructions in the "Help" feature of iTunes before I learned that there was a longer (and completely different) set of instructions on this website. I moved the contents (not the directory) as instructed from "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music" to "H:\NewMusic". I then changed the reference in Edit->Preferences->Advanced to the new location. I reopened iTunes and it was blank. No music, no playlists. I tried copying things back and reset the reference but nothing. As a safety measure I copied the music to another hard drive but no matter what I do, or where I point iTunes nothing changes.
I'm afraid to plug in my iPod for fear that the blank iTunes will clear the iPod rather than the other way around. Also not everything is on my iPod (most but not all) and I'd rather not lose things. How can I recover from this mess and get iTunes working again. I have all the files, but iTunes will not see them.
Thanks

I just updated my iPhone to the latest version but now I'm not able to sync my photos because iPhoto events are all messed up and not showing all the pics...

It shows more events than the ones I have and they all have names from events I already have but contain only one pic or so...

No I have not... I'm hoping for an upcoming update release soon...

So basically could anyone tell me how to solve this problem, im desperate at this stage.
Im using a pc by the way, but dont hate on me for that

I wan't to share iCloud Photo Library for all family

Hi
I have a family account with 3 mails for share localisation and payment
My macbook pro use photo with icloud photo library so i upload all my library 300go to icloud
But only one mail of family can access to icloud photo library the mail who is in the macbook pro...
It's family so i wan't to active share icloud photo library to all 3 mails of my family
How can i do
Thanks

It lets me do that but when I go there it says to turn on iCloud Photo Library on my iOS device, even though I have already done so. I can't do anything until it recognizes that I have a device with iCloud Photo Library.

When I Open Iphoto it tells me that it can not open current photo library using this version of iphoto. Any help on what I can do to fix this without loosing all my previous photos?

For some reason I tried to open Iphoto and it keeps giving me an error message that It can not open my current photo library.
It says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of Iphoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of Iphoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of Iphoto, or do you want
to create a new photo library?"
I tried updating the software and didn't do nothing for me.
Anyone have a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Ok, here is what I would do for that situation. I would back up all your photos on a memory stick, then create a new photo library and re-upload all the photos to the new library. If iphoto wont let you even copy your photos, you should just schedule an appointment at the genius bar. This has never happened to me, but if it did this is what I would be attempting.

Photo library not syncing all photos

iCloud photo library and syncing (not all photos)
I seem to have an issue with iCloud photo in that on my iPhone I have 2,224 photos, on my iPad it shows I have 2,211 photos and on my Mac it shows I have 2,209 photos And on icloud photo library on the web show 2,270 photos. For some reason all the photos on iCloud Photo Library are not getting sync'd to the other devices. On the bright side all my videos are sync'do across all devices properly!
Anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I realize that this is the iTunes forum. I'm using iTunes to sync my iPhone so it seems the right place. I've also cross posted in the iPhone Forum.

Cannot access photo library

I have a new iPad3g which I have synced to my iMac G5. I have elected to sync photos from my Aperture. When I touch the photo icon I get the message "Please Wait Updating Library" accompanied by the spinning wheel. The problems is it never updates and after a minute or so it reverts to the desktop page. Has anyone had this problems and what is the solution?

Interestingly, when I go to settings,brightness & wallpaper I have the opportunity to open photo library and there are all my photos from Aperture so the images are stored in iPad but it is not possible to access them through the main photo application

Original Photo Library Totally Gone!?!?!

Hello,
I seem to have "synced" a sample photo from my computer desktop to my iphone (via iTunes). In doing so, it seems that all of the original Photo Library Images (factory installed) are completely gone. It would be nice to recover these somehow? Please... anyone, help?

I have the same problem and the only three people I know that have the new iphone has the same problem also and we all want our sample photos back too. I was thinking that if you could find someone that has the origional photos in their iphone they could email them to you then you could copie them into your iphone.

ICloud Photo Library Differences Across Devices

I have updated to Photos on my Mac and using iCloud Photo Library and I'm having issues as the number of pictures is different in my Mac, iPhone and iCloud library. I have always used iPhoto as my main library so upon upgrading to Photos, I uploaded that library to iCloud Photo Library. It uploaded all night and now is showing ~7,500 photos with 168 to be uploaded. Those 168 to be uploaded hasn't changed since last week which is strange given Photos is otherwise working well (ie. properly processing edit / delete I did on my phone). I didn't wanted to have to deal with duplicate so I deleted all photos on my phone and turned on ICloud Photo Library. While there was some hiccups along the way (it worked fine at uploading pics until it started to upload only ~75% of pictures with the remaining staying gray which I then had to manually open), it now show that it is fully uploaded, yet it is only showing 6,539 pictures. When I check iCloud photo, I see it has just been updated, yet there is 6,617 photos. I can't really explain the difference in # of photos across the libraries as it should be the same. Anyone having the same issue and / or know how to fix this. I can't manually go through the libraries to see if there are discrepancies.

Thanks,
Unfortunately, I have already clicked the "importing: copy items to Photo Library" box. I only had about 6,600 photos in iPhoto so I am not sure why Photos is telling me I have ~7,500 pictures. I think the large number is due to some double counting of pictures due to my Photostream being uploaded first. When I first opened Photos, it did not recognize my iPhoto library (it's store in my Google Drive folder) so it loaded my photostream. When I realized the mistake, I loaded the iPhoto library, made it the default library and deleted the Photos library that only contained pictures from my photostream. However, Photos never adjusted the # of photos to reflect the fact that I had deleted the library.

How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You ould have to e-mail them to yourself. When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

Duplicate photos in my photo library and another photo album?

So I don't know if this has to do with the ios 6 update I just did on my phone (most likely it is), but today i synced my phone like usual. I have two albums on my phoone besides the Camera roll. I have the photo library ( which i think all iphones have) & one album i called "uploaded photos". As you may know, the photo library has the same pictures as the ones in my "uploaded photos" album. So each one has 300 photos in them, but for some reason when I synced it today, the photos all got doubled/ duplicated. so instead of 300 photos, theres 600. There's just a duplicate of each picture? It's really bothering me because I don't want double the photos in each album, thats too much! I hope this makes sense, but does any one know how to fix it?
