Photo Library in Ios4

i just noticed that in photo folder i have two folders i.e. camera roll
and photo library. in photo library there are 3 pics that are repeated from camera roll and i am not able to delete the folder photo library, any one with any clue about it, i have 3gs 32gb on ios4.0.1

You can't remove Photo Library.
Photos and videos that were captured by your iPhone are stored in the Camera Roll as well as a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the Photo Library, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You can remove all photos from the Photo Library by deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, but you can't delete the Photo Library folder or storage area from your iPhone.

  • Photo library does not sync in iOS4 after upgrade in 3GS

    Hi all,
    Photo library does not sync in iOS4 after upgrade in 3GS.
    Anyone having such problems?

    Just did. Uncheck sync photo check box and sync. Then check sync photo check box and sync. Solved.

  • Photo library rebuild in iOS4

    My photo library suddenly started a rebuild on my 3GS after i upgraded to iOS4. At first, it looked like all the photos had disappeared. When the rebuild finished, the last few weeks of photos were gone. Any ideas on how to recover? I hadn't synced them yet with iPhoto.

    This happened on my device (iPhone 3GS w/ iOS 4.0.2).
    I saved couple of photos to my library using the Mail app's Save All feature. After that, my camera role disappeared. It re-built upon restarting the image viewer, and I lost all the photos I took since I upgraded to iOS4.

  • 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.
    Not asking for advice. Not blaming anyone. Just saying.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • Can I share an iCloud photo library between family members?

    I am searching for a good photo and video backup solution for my entire family. Previously I was backing up photos to a Windows Home Server that did a weekly backup to Amazon's cloud storage; however, the system disk on the home server blew up, leaving me with the choice to rebuild the server or alternatively look for a more seamless, lightweight solution. I have large quantity of photos and video on a home server data drive, as well as a large number of photos that have been recently scanned to my MacBook pro. We have almost completely transitioned to Apple products and use Time Machine for Macbook backups, so that function of the Home Server is no longer useful.
    I like the concept of Apple's iCloud Photo Library; however, I need a solution that allows photos from at least my wife's and my devices to be seamlessly backed up to the library. We use different iCloud IDs. The ideal use case would be that photos taken on any of our devices (across a set of iCloud IDs) would be shared within a single library.
    Family Sharing allows you to share a number of things across family members, but currently the photo library doesn't appear to be one of them.
    Any pointers on how to proceed? Will the OS X Photo app and the move to bring iCloud library to the Mac make any difference? Any alternative solutions?

    Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
    I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
    Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

  • How does a family share an iCloud Photo Library?

    I have a wife and two kids, all with iDevices. We each have our own Apple ID, and we have a fifth Apple ID for the family. I'd like to have all four devices see and contribute to one iCloud Photo Library, preferably using that fifth Apple ID. Can I do this?
    As a note, I do this with the iTunes Store, happily. Apple allows you to set the iTunes Apple ID as a different one than the Apple ID used for everything else. I don't see that functionality with the iCloud Photo Library.
    We could, perhaps, cobble together some solution using sharing to the family library and whatnot, I guess. That may be the only way, but it seems clunky. I will figure it out if I have to.
    Thanks!
    Danny.

    I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
    That is indeed not possible. She'll either need to re-acquire all those apps through her own iTunes Store account, you'll have to give her the password to your account, or you'll have to do all the updating for her.
    Regards.

  • How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

    I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
    But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

    Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
    Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
    But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
    It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
    Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
    The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
    I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

  • HT1229 How can you transfer the  photo library from  an iphone to a mac.

    I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc.  Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone.  The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.

  • The difference between Camera Roll and Photo Library

    I am a bit confused.  I have, on my iPhone, pictures in 3 places: Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Photo Stream.  I am not sure why iPhone make these distinctions but I want them all to end up in one place: my iMac central photo library.
    I  only have 3 devices, an iPhone an iPad and a desktop iMac.  I manually sync my photos to my computer from my iPhone, and do not really worry that all photos get to all devices immediately.  My question is this: How do I make sure ALL the photos from my iPhohe end up in my 'main' photo library on my iMac? Without causing duplicates.   It seems like some of the iPhone photo storage locations sync and some do not; occasionally I get a ton of duplicates.  It is confusing and I was hoping someone could help me streamline it. I know the iCloud is trying to make things easier, but sometimes it does not seem that way
    Thanks!

  • How do i delete my photo library from my iphone 4?

    My computer downloaded my entire photo library to my iPhone 4s & I'm almost out of storage space.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to delete the photo library from the phone itself; I have tried.
    I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option.  I clicked on all of the other choices on the tab in the upper left-hand corner: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Apps, & Tones.  None of these options have anything related to photos or photo libraries.
    I have cleared my "My Pictures" folder on my PC and re-synched the phone; that didn't work either.  I've gone through everything under the "Settings" tab on the phone itself, but to no avail.
    I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings, but I'm thinking there's GOT to be an easier way to solve this problem.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance...

    Yes there is and if you are unable to via the iTunes sync process, there is a problem.
    I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option.
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not stored in your iTunes library. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit only between the location on your computer's hard drive where the selected photos are stored and your iPhone.
    This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If all photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone are not removed from the iPhone after deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, try creating a new folder on your computer's hard drive that will remain empty. Select this empty folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes instead of your My Pictures folder followed by a sync.
    I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings,
    You don't need to take the iPhone anywhere to do this ends up being needed. You can erase all data and settings direct on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset which will erase everything but the iOS version installed and the included apps, or you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • Importing a photo folder just with references creates a photo library 2/3 of its size. crazy!

    after ignoring iphoto for many reasons over the last years i thought i give it a try with the new photo app.
    i imported a 70gb photo folder - turning OFF to copy it into the library first, just refering to them - and now it ate up all my space by creating a 41gb (!!!) photo library just with references alone. so now i have a 70gb folder plus an index file that is 41gb big. i am beyond baffled.
    am i doing something wrong here or are they crazy?
    they cannot possibly think this is a smart way to store photos with the small internal hard drives they give us nowadays can they?

    it gets even worse. "photos" has created empty subfolders of almost every photo in my original photo folder.
    thank you apple. good job.
