Did you remember to empty the "Recently deleted" album as well?
If this album is empty, you may have a problem with phantom photos.
After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6
I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

  • HT4927 When i upgraded from 9.2.3 to 9.3.1 I had migration issues, where most my photos ended up in a restored event called restored photos. But then they don't come up in faces anymore. So can i upgrade to 9.3.2 and then just rebuild my photo library ?

So I restored my whole computer back to an earlier date, becuase I couldn't figure out how to restore just my photo library. Advice?

    Best way is to restore your backup from before the problem, rebuild it and update it again

  • Photo library storage issues

    why does my phone say I have data in my photo library even though I've deleted everything from my camera roll and my photostream
    I also shut off my photostream.

    Hi szimmer38,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage/number of photos between iOS on your iPhone and iTunes on your computer, you may want to make sure you have a backup of your data, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps are also helpful for storage reporting issues):
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • Iphoto6 LIbrary Issue (Not finding photos)

    Hello : couple of i photo6 issues
    1) I have many photos on my mac book pro from my past powerbook (old libraries) When I launch Iphoto6, it only recognises the latest pics. How do I make iphoto recognise the older pics. They are in my pictures folder, however they are not coming up in iphoto as thumbnails. (I am thinking I may have to create a whole new library which I am happy to do (i.e. drag library folder to desk top, then ask Iphoto to create new library etc. using originals folder) If this is correct can someone please explain the process for doing so. If not, please advise what else I should do. I am not notally sure here..... all tips welcome.
    2) Why is there a DATA file and an ORIGINALS file in the library file. Do i need both ?
    3) I seem to have many duplicates some are thumbnail size pics from previous imports when I had library issues in 2004. Is there a simple way to get rid of these smaller pics so I only have the originals? Hope this all makes sense.
    Baiscally I need a total 'clean up of my iphoto library(s) and streamline things I believe, but need some advise on doing so.
    I look very much forward to hearing form you.
    Kind regards, Mark

    Mark
    How do I make iphoto recognise the older pics.
    They are in my pictures folder,
    But where in your Pictures Folder? How did they get
    there? Have they been imported into iPhoto? I'll
    happily post instructions for creating a new library,
    but maybe it's not necessary...
    2) Why is there a DATA file and an ORIGINALS file
    in the library file. Do i need both ?
    You mean DATA and ORIGINALS folders? Yes you do need
    both. A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the
    Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you
    have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were
    downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that
    you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
    - very useful if you don't like the changes you've
    made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app
    needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not
    move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto
    Library Folder as this can cause the application to
    fail and even lead to data loss.
    3) I seem to have many duplicates some are
    thumbnail size pics from previous imports when I had
    library issues in 2004. Is there a simple way to get
    rid of these smaller pics so I only have the
    originals? Hope this all makes sense.
    Duplicate Annihilator
    may help.
    But if you decide to go back and start again, we can
    weed those out from the new library while recreating
    it.
    Regards
    TD
    Thanks TD Most Helpful. The photos are all in my pictures folder in the originals folder. I think I need to make a new library and go through and delete the duplicates. It seems i may be in a bit of a mess unfortunately.

  • My photos library has been loading for four days.  Any idea what the issue might be?

    My iCloud photos library has been trying to load for four days.  What is the issue?

    Greetings ok_takem,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an issue with photo syncing. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • ICloud photos library for Photos app Yosemite sync issues

    Strangely, after enabling iCloud photos library on Photos app. It does sync all the lowres image into Photos app but the downloading of hires is always stuck.
    Even if I leave it to sync overnight and it just stay the same until the next morning.
    Anyone has facing the same issues?
    Thanks.

    After two weeks I'm on my 6th attempt (6th from-scratch library) just trying to get the download and sync features to work. As of this morning the sync appears to be working but the fact that after 12 hours of "downloading" my library of 53,000 images is only 9 gigabytes, I'd say, yes, my high-resolution images are not coming down either. I have definitely set to download originals to my Mac.

  • IOS 5 Update Issues (contact numbers, m4r files, photo library)

    Right after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 5, I encountered the following minor issues:
    1. Most of my contacts numbers are displayed as numbers only without names when they call or message me. I found out that the country code is added to their numbers (wasn't the case before the update). So, a number, let's say, 555-5555, must be updated in the contact list to read (+555) 555-5555. When I add the country code however, I still receive a call or message without the name, because it comes out without the country code, i.e. 555-5555! Confusing indeed.
    2. All of my m4r files, mainly ringtones, have disappeared from my iPhone, though the sync process via iTunes shows they were properly transferred to iPhone. When I go to Sounds setting, or playlist, there is none. (Wasn't the case before the update. My ringtones were part of the Sounds setting)
    3. I have double photo albumes for the same photos in my iPhone photo library. I only select one folder in my computer to sync with iPhone, so the photos in this folder are now copied to Camera Roll, and another folder called Mobile. (Wasn't the case before the update. Photos were placed in Camera Roll only)
    Other than that, all working fine so far.

    Note on point 1:
    This is the issue with contact numbers as I further found out:
    The problem basically with messages and calls.
    Adding a country code to a contact number will show contact name in messages but not in calls coming therefrom.
    Removing the country code from the contact number, will show only phone number in calls but not in messages where I only get the number without the name!
    To overcome this problem, I have to register the same number for each contact twice, one with a country code and the other without! Duplicating numbers for each contact obviously is not the right solution.

  • Trying to open IPhoto, get message about needing photo library to open. Never had this issue before. Any advise?

    I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.3. My IPhoto is version 9.5.1 (902.17). I just updated all available software on the computer and still could not open IPhoto.
    Message states " IPhoto needs a photo library to open. Select from list, find another library or create new library you can import photos to later. Same photo library will be used next time you open IPhoto." I don't really want to do any of this. I just want to be able to open IPhoto as I always have and just did a couple days ago. Don't know why this is happening all of a sudden. Please advice. Thank you.

    " IPhoto needs a photo library to open. Select from list, find another library or create new library you can import photos to later. Same photo library will be used next time you open IPhoto."
    This means, that iPhoto cannot find your iPhoto library. You need to point iPhoto to the location of the library. Have you checked in the fInder, if your iPhoto library is still where it is supposed to be by default, in the Pictures folder, and called iPhoto Library.photolibrary? Or have you moved your library somewhere else and renamed it?
    I just updated all available software on the computer and still could not open IPhoto.
    Did you just update iPhoto to a newer version?  What was the previous version?

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Can't access photo library after last update

    I have a Macbook Air 13 and am running the most current Maverick (10.9.5) before Yosemite was released.
    I take all updates as they arrive and are listed by AppStore.
    After the last iPhoto update that came about the time Yosemite arrived I can no longer access my photo Library.
    When opening iPhoto it give me a choice to upgrade my library or quit. So I tried to upgrade and after about 30 seconds iPhoto simply goes away.
    I am traveling and can not do the large Yosemite upgrade, in case that is the issue, but need access to my photos.
    When I plug in and sync my iPhone5S  (which is running the latest updates as well) it seems to sync but I have no way to import the photos.
    I am guessing this is related to the last update but have no idea what to do in order to recover.
    iPhoto 9.6 now show incompatible but I don't recall seeing this earlier.
    I am running iTunes 12.0.1 and it can not access the photo settings. It just sits with the busy spinner.

    iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
    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.

  • HT204655 Can you use one Photos library under different accounts?

    I, like many, have recently migrated from iPhoto to the new Photos App. I'm having one significant issue that is bothering me, using a single Photos library under two different accounts on my Mac. In iPhoto, I could easily point both accounts at one library. The only minor issue with doing this was that both accounts couldn't have it open at the same time. However, everything else worked great, including setting the screensaver on both accounts to be the iPhoto library.
    Now that I use Photos, everything works fine on one account, but if I try and open the same Photos library on a different account, it gives a generic error and fails. What am I doing wrong? Is this not possible? That's a pretty obnoxious issue if so.

    It should be fine... it certainly works with iTunes for Windows. You just need to run the same version of iTunes on each machine you want to connect to.

  • Moving from folder-organized photo library on networked NAS to iPhoto...

    Hello,
    This is a fairly broad question, I know, but I've been researching for almost a full week and still at a loss as to what to do, so I thought some of the kind souls on here might be able to cut thru the forest of info out there to help me.
    I vetoed iPhoto long ago but am now interested in trying it out & testing it against Picasa. However, I have a fairly large photo library that I keep on NAS, and definitely want to keep it there. Basically the research I've been doing has scared me, with all the horror stories about mixed libraries and the dangers of referenced libraries (which is what I was thinking would probably be the way to go), so now I'm a bit frozen.
    My photos are currently folder-organized, mostly by date, but the level above date is by major categories (such as child's name, etc). I realize the date organization becomes redundant if I migrated to iPhoto, and even the categories seem redundant too if I can tag them all instead, etc.
    The Picasa part was pretty easy, since I can just point it to the externally stored library and it does the rest, not moving anything. That part of Picasa is brilliant and makes a strong argument for going that route. My big hangup with it is the lack of nested collections - particularly in the web environment. The organizational aspects of Picasa seem a bit lackluster - and iPhoto sounds to be pretty good at that.
    But with iPhoto, I'm having trouble deciding how to structure things and get started. I've read up on moving an existing iPhoto library to an external drive, but my impression is that to achieve what I'm trying to, I would need to import the entire library into local iPhoto library FIRST, then go backwards and migrate that iPhoto libary back onto NAS - which would then be a duplicate of the entire library since I'd be leaving the original intact to continue using with Picasa. Is that indeed the way to do it? I'm a little worried about ending up with an undifferentiated mass of 50+ Gigs of pics in iPhoto that i'd then need to go thru individually to tag (a monstrous task), as opposed to, say, having the names of folders turned into tags on all the pics within those folders (wishful thinking?).
    To complete the picture of my situation for whoever may be kind enough to read all this, we have an iMac & a MBP, and would love to be able to share the NAS library on our respective iPhotos, and be able to keep "sync'd" up to what the other has done. From reading around it seems this is a little trickier, and the stuff I've been seeing about speed issues with WiFi-connected NAS libraries is not making me any more comfortable.
    I was somehow able to rig just this situation up for iTunes (the library for which is shared & kept on NAS), which works pretty good (although I'm now concerned that that is also a 'referenced library' and liable to the same horror stories and cautions as external referenced libraries for iPhoto - is it the same? - so far so good...).
    I've seen Terence Devlin mention a few times about using 'external managed libraries' instead of referenced libraries, but I'm not sure how to do that. The other vague conclusion I've come to from reading around is that I should probably use iPhoto Library Manager to achieve my goals here, and although I'm aware of what IPLM does, I'm not totally clear about how I would use it most effectively in my situation.
    Whew - sorry for such a long rambling 'question'! This has probably been addressed elsewhere in the boards, but I've been reading for hours and can only get glimpses into a possible strategy for my situation - I thought just asking might nip it in the bud.
    THANKS!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    A long question with, I'm afraid, a short answer.
    a fairly large photo library that I keep on NAS, and definitely want to keep it there.
    Stick with what you have. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. That pretty much rules out having a Managed Library on that NAS.
    In some more detail:
    My photos are currently folder-organized, mostly by date, but the level above date is by major categories (such as child's name, etc). I realize the date organization becomes redundant if I migrated to iPhoto, and even the categories seem redundant too if I can tag them all instead, etc.
    Here's a fast way to tag them:
    Start at the bottom of your Folder hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will import the pics and make an Album of the same name as the Folder. Now: Want to tag all those pics with the same keyword: Select all (Command - a) and apply the keyword.
    You can work through your images quite fast in this way.
    Alternatively, use an app like Keyword Manager which has Nested Tags as a feature. So, for instance, you can set a hierarchy: John is your Son so tagging 'John' will also add a 'Family' tag and so on. In my case I have tags like 'Seattle' that add 'Washington State' 'U.S' and 'Travel' to the pics. WIth auto completion all I have to type is Sea...
    but my impression is that to achieve what I'm trying to, I would need to import the entire library into local iPhoto library FIRST, then go backwards and migrate that iPhoto libary back onto NAS
    No, all you need to di is start a Library, then move it to an appropriately formatted disk. You don't need to complete the Library first.
    we have an iMac & a MBP, and would love to be able to share the NAS library on our respective iPhotos, and be able to keep "sync'd" up to what the other has done.
    Again, noting that the NAS is not the way to go here, you can simply enable iPhoto Sharing or use the same Library with both machines - very easy.
    I know that these a pretty short answers, and by all means post back if we can be more helpful.

  • ICloud Photo Library - a really poor support experience (and still unresolved)

    I am using (or should I say trying to use) iCloud photo library on iOS 8.1.2 and on an iPhone 5S with 32Gb memory. I bought 200 Gb of Cloud storage too so was ready to go with about 12 Gb of photos.
    It was about 3 weeks ago when I turned it on and was initially hopeful, as the number of photos left to sync gradually decreased on my device (there are about 4000 to do). I could see they were coming up at iCloud.com and all looked good for the first 600 or so. And then it "stalled" for the first time and nothing seemed to help - reboot, airplane mode on/off. Occasionally it might do a couple more but then it would just stop.
    So, I logged out of iCloud on my device and logged back in again. A long pause whilst everything resyncs and then the photo resync begins again... from the start... 4000 to go. It got further this time, to 800 and every now and then it would process a few more. I left it a week and a half to see what it would do but eventually sure enough it stalls again.
    My first chat session with Apple support and the engineer suggests resetting the network settings... nothing.
    So the a second chat session with Apple support and the engineer suggests logging out of iCloud on the device and turning it on again. I'm reluctant to go the start of the process again, but I do and overnight I'm rewarded by getting to about 1200 photos this time. And then it stops, so I reset the network settings. A few more and it stops again. By now, I'm pulling my hair out.
    So another long chat session and after repeating all of the above an escalation is requested to a senior engineer. A call back is made to me and after a wait of 15 mins on the phone (Apple called me!) the senior engineer begins to lecture me on what beta software is (I know, it's software pre-full release with a few minor issues left to resolve). I politely ask what the next steps might be and the engineer explains to me that I should have no realistic expectations that it should actually work. Her experience is such that uploads may not register with iCloud, downloads may not register with my device and that I may LOSE photos! When I protest, again politely, that this might not be acceptable she hangs up.
    The chat engineer who is waiting for my call promises to complain on my behalf to the management and offers a call rescheduled for later which I take up. That was 30 mins ago.
    The call comes, I wait 15 mins in the queue again (it tells you a 2 min wait!!!) and then guess what, the call hangs up again.
    So here what I am left with. A sync that has now taken 3 weeks and ultimately is no more than a quarter complete. No confidence in the sync process or any idea of what might be causing my connection to fail. 4 hours wasted this weekend with Apple support. The rudeness of staff hanging up on my calls and lecturing me on the merits of beta software. £3 a month paid for storage that I cannot fill.
    I can only conclude that the iPhone photo cloud library is not ready and the support staff feel unable to offer any support on next steps. "Beta" or not, you really have to ask if this is good enough.
    Apple - if you're reading, you still have my outstanding call back on ref:722150884 sceduled for 16:30 GMT on 11th Jan 2015. Your system says this is still outstanding. If you're ready to call back with a genuine bid to help and an acknowledgement of the problem please feel free. If the software just isn't ready, just say and we can all move on with our lives.

    This is a user-to-user support forum, not a way to communicate with Apple regarding a support call or issue. (Just trying to save you some more frustration when you don't get a response to this post from Apple).
    As a user, I can note that it is beta software, I don't trust it with my photos and I'm not willing to spend the time dealing with issues that can be involved in beta software. There are a number of more proven 3rd party cloud storage options available.

  • ICloud Photo Library (beta) - how does it work?

    8.0.2 has an option to enable iCloud Photo Library (beta), I am trying to understand how it works before I turn it on...
    The description says it will auto-upload the entire iPhoto Library to iCloud so other devices that can access these photos by using the same Apple ID. It also has sub-option to keep original photo or keep optimized photo on the device. So questions:
    1. This feature seems to do what Photo Stream does, will new taken photos be auto-sent to iCloud and Photo Stream?
    2. Does iCloud Photo Library count iCloud storage?
    3. Those albums synced with iTunes, will they be uploaded to iCloud Photo Library, and no longer sync with iTunes? Will they be deleted from devices? Will the iTunes Photo Sync selections be disabled?
    4. Here "iPhoto Library" refers to the photo library on devices only, or it includes the Photo Library on computer? My Mac iPhoto/Aperture also signs in the same Apple ID, will those photos on my Mac be auto-uploaded to iCloud?
    5. Presently I sync selected photos to devices via iTunes, if iTunes Sync is disabled after enabled iCloud Photo Library, how can I send selected photos to devices?
    Thanks

    2-factor authentication sounds good but what if in the cloud sends your photos to someone else's account?

    Using iPad Mini / iPhone 4S
    I have just recently enabled the iCloud Photo Library (Beta). I also use MS Onedrive and i have it setup to automatically backup all my photos and      videos from both my iOS devices.
    Today i opened Onedrive for no particular reason and clicked on the Photos tab, this shows the progress of photos being backed up, only this time i      scrolled down to find that there was hundreds of photos from different families mixed in with mine dating back to 2002! Naturally the first thing i am      thinking is who is looking at my photos/files. What is going on!!!!
    Let me just assure anyone reading this, that the owner of these photographs would not appreciate anyone else having them, these are Kindergarten,      public school and family photos of complete strangers. and all my photos are mixed in between them.
    Is anyone else having this issue

  • How does iCloud Photo Library backup photos & save iCloud space

    I was reading about how to free up some space on my iCloud account (5GB).
    Since the Camera Roll is the only thing that is backed up to iCloud, I would periodically import all my photos to iPhoto and delete them from my device.  This would make the Camera Roll pictures move over to my other albums which are NOT backed up to iCloud.  Now I ran into some apple documentation which explains what exactly gets backed up on an iOS device and its reads like this:
    Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
    So basically if I turn on this iCloud Photo Library on my iOS device, it won't back up any photos to iCloud, because they are already stored in iCloud?  What does that mean?  Is this going to free up some iCloud space if I turn it on on my device?  If so, how exactly does it work that will save me space?
    Thanks

    I don't know, sorry. It's supposed to work alongside Photos & iCloud, so that photos are stored only once. When it doesn't work you have a couple of options as I see it –
    Delete the old backups on iCloud to hopefully start over (I don't like deleting the only backup of anything).
    Forget about iCloud backups & use iTunes to backup instead, it might not be suitable if you have no computer etc.
    Buy more storage for iCloud.
    I don't use iCloud backup, it bemuses me with issues like this, there is no easy way to resolve when it fails.
    And one more question while we are at it...can I erase iphoto from my computer now that I have the new Photos app?
    That is up to you. If you are happy you do not need it & have a backup of it go ahead & remove it. You can re-download it from the app store if it is already in your Mac App store account.
