Photo Library showing up on iPhone 3GS???

I've read through a few posts regarding deleting images, albums, etc and resyncing.
But the main issue I've been having is that through iPhoto I have a few albums
some with video that I'm able to sync over into my iPhone 3Gs but the Photo Library continues to show up and I can't seem to find a way to keep this from not syncing into my photo albums as it seems to show all the images I already have on the iPhone.
Can someone tell me how not to have the photo library showing up. It never did before.
I'm syncing through iPhoto, and also did through image capture.
much appreciate the feedback ~A~

Gotcha!
What I ended up doing was syncing through image capture and choosing the folder of which to sync the images from.
In image capture it doesn't duplicate the named folder, but brings it in as renamed as "photo library".
What's odd is that it doesn't import the folder as named.
Only when syncing in iPhoto does it keep the named folder, but also brings along the photo library.
So there's little means of flexibility when it comes to organizing images with the iPhone software.
Are there any 3rd party software programs that anyone is using to sort images on their iPhone? Curious

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

Older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion)

older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion) how do i get to view those pics ?...thanx

That library was created by iPhoto via Share ➙ Burn menu, correct? It's old enough that you may have to drag that library to the desktop and open it with the Finder. Then drag the subfolders from the Originals folder into your open iPhoto 9 library window to import.

Photos that were on my iPhone 3Gs disappeared when I sync'd onto my PC.

I had photos that were on my iPhone 3Gs that disappeared when I sync'd the phone to my PC (Windows XP 2007). Where did they go and how do I get them a) back or b) get the photos moved to My Pictures folder? I did find the iPod Photo Cache within My Pictures folder. However, i can't open any of the subfolders so I don't know if these are the photos I lost. Further, I have no trouble downloading photos from my PC to the iPod. What happened here? How I make sure this doesn't happen again? Is there a way to recover the photos on my phone?

Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
As with iTunes content, photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will happen before doing so.
Photos transferred from your computer is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, and any photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer. If you have a single folder of photos selected to be transferred from your computer and switch to a different folder of photos, the first folder of photos currently on your iPhone will be erased from your iPhone first with a warning message provided before this occurs, but all photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are not included with your iPhone's backup, but these photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.

I had a/b 7000 photos sync'd to my iPhone 3GS (16GB) from my PC...Today, all my photos are lost

I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a head's up on what to do when you iP cannot successfully sync photos... the following is my dilemma:
I had a/b 7000 photos sync'd to my iPhone 3GS (16GB, w/ 4+GB available) from my PC...Today, all my photos are lost & every time I re-sync, iTunes gets to the end of the optimization & then stops working! This incomplete sync happens if sync is for 1-photo or all!!!

Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by a sync.
This will remove all photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer.
Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab making your selection below regarding the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If no change after this, try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from your computer.

IPhone photo library shows black, but it shows the number of pics in it

Hello,
I have a problem with Photo Library on my iphone4.
It shows the number of photos contained in the Library, but when I choose the folder, it shows black.
This happened after iTunes automatically synced with my iPhone without my wish or knowledge. During the sync, I saw it started deleting images, so I immediately stopped it. But maybe it was too late???
The reason I have my pics in the library was that I had to empty my pictures folder on my PC, so I moved my pics to my iPhone. I guess that was a mistake...
Does anyone know if there is any way for me to be able to see my photos again?
Thanks for your attention!

They could be gone unfortunately. You might try quitting the photos app then starting it again.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If that doesn't work try quitting it again but reset your iPad before restarting the Photos app.
Quit your Photos app like I describe above but do not restart it. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

ITunes library and syncing with iPhone 3GS trouble

I have an iPhone 3GS. When I got to update to iOS 4.3 from the latest 4.2 update I either get am error saying that the file was corrupt or sometimes I get an error saying that my firmware is not compatible. Also, when I just try to sync to iTunes I get an unknown error saying that I cannot finish syncing with iTunes; which has caused my apps to not sync back to my phone and my photos as well. Last night after the latter error I just disconnected my phone and went to bed but I also discovered that my phone has a fraction of the apps that it did have on it. I did not get a chance to check if my apps has all synced back to iTunes at least. And another issue is that lately iTunes has been having issues with the library and keeps creating a damaged.xml. Help, please!!

try removing all the music and snycing it back to your iphone

Photo Library not uploading from iPhone 6

Hi, I have a new iPhone 6, updated with 8.3. I activated the Apple Library more than three days ago and still no photos got uploaded. I tried signing out iCloud and back on but still nothing happening, with the iPhone fully charged and connected to wifi. I have 20Gb of space in iCloud and only around 1,300 photos to upload. Is there anything you can recommend ?
Thanks a lot,
Regards

The upload is slow. You don't say how large your photos library is, but here is my experience so far: I have a ~50 GB photo library that has been uploading for over a week. It's probably about 45% done uploading. My ISP says I should be able to get 864 kbps upload speed, but my library is uploading at about 140 kbps, a fraction of what it should be. Many people are seeing this same behavior, and there are various conjectures as to why. Someone needs to ask Apple about this.
Meanwhile, here is what you can to do to assure yourself that the upload is progressing. In the Preferences pane of the Photos App, you can monitor how many pix are left to go. This number changes in batches, and so checking on it periodically should show a decreasing number. The other thing I am doing is monitoring the outgoing network traffic speed. You can do this in the Activity Monitor by selecting he Network tab and looking at the table at the bottom, which shows statistics on your network use. The date sent/sec in the lower right box is a number to pay attention to. Compare this with what your ISP says you should be able to do on upload.
Finally, log into your iCloud account with your favorite browser and take a look at the photos that are there. As things progress, you should see more of them showing up there. They apparently don't get uploaded in any particular order, so there will be gaps in some of the dates, in all probability.
Let me know how it goes.

Why aren't photos in iPhoto photo library showing up in iPhoto camera roll?

Hi,
I downloaded all the photos on my Camera Roll on my iPhone into my AirBook computer because when I went to take a photo today with my iPhone it told me I had no space left. But, now there are 300 photos in Photo Library that never showed up in Camera Roll and I can't download into my AirBook. Those photos are just sitting in Photo Library in my phone. How do I download them into my AirBook AND why did they not show up in the Camera Roll on my iPhone?
Thanks!
Caitlin

The photos are likely already on your MacBook Air in the iPhoto app there, which I assume you probably have.
iPhoto on your Mac houses the photo library.
Photos do not transfer to the Camera Roll on your iPhone (with very few exceptions). They get transferred from the Camera Roll to your photo library. You can then clean them off the Camera Roll.
When you sync the iPhone using iTunes, you can instruct iTunes how to sync your photos. If, for example, you do not want all the photos in the photo library on your iPhone, that is how to keep them on your computer but not your iPhone.

Photo library shows more photos than it really has

My photo library has 41 photos, however when checking "Usage" it shows I have 10.4Gb. Why?
The complete Photo & Camera shows:
1. Photo Library = 10.4 Gb
2. My Photo Stream = 20.1 Mb
3. Shared Photo Stream = 821 Mb
when checking via iTunes, it shows I have 3801 photos, where are they? I know they are not the in recently deleted album.
Any ideas?

Hi rfirmeza,
It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you're still seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos on your device and storage space used, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
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

Photo's not syncing with iCloud photo library from and to iPhone

Photo synchronization stopped working from and to my iPhone 6.
Currently new photo's taken on my phone aren't uploaded to the iCloud photo library and new photo's uploaded from my mac to the iCloud library aren't showing up on my iphone. I still have enough space available on iCloud.
It worked fine until two weeks ago.
Any suggestions how this issue can be resolved?
Thanks,
Koen

My process was turning on iCloud Photo Library on my imac only at first and uploaded my 70,000 pics which took about 2 weeks (did much of it at night). After it was done I turned it on my three devices at the same time (iphone 6, iPhone 6+ and iPad 2). The download to the devices (eg thumbnails) took about another week and it seemed to work largely fine until recently. It doesn't however really work on my iPad 2, but it's so old I'm not too surprised.
My only issue now (hopefully) is the response time on the 6+ which seems quite slow. Good luck and I would try to turn it on and see what happens. But be patient, at first it takes quite some time.

How to get photos from Photo Library, an album on iPhone, into iPhoto on desktop mac

Hi, this would seem simple, but somehow it's not.
I have ~1500 photos on my iPhone in a separate album. They were synced previously with an iTunes library, that I have now lost for good. The images are still on my iPhone and I want to transfer them to the iPhoto library.
My question is...
how do I transfer the images from 'Photo Library' on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.1) to my desktop?
When iPhone is connected to desktop and iPhoto is open, under Devices, it does not list the 'Photo Library' that I want to import, but it does list photos on the iPhone that I have taken prior to losing the iTunes library.
I tried iPhoto Library Manager, but it does not allow me to connect to the iPhone

Have you saved those iTunes library photos on your iPhone to the Camera Roll?
