Photos delete when copying new ones

I'm a newbie, and am having trouble copying photos to my iPod. During the transfer process, the words 'deleting photos' flash on the computer screen, before the new file is copied. After the transfer is complete, I check the iPod and find only the newly transferred/copied photos exist! Where did the other ones go? How can I prevent this from happening each time? We are leaving on a cruise next week and I need to get this figured out since I'm planning on copying the photos from my camera's memory stick (I purchased a camera connector).

Sounds like you are syncing to a different directory each time.
Keep all the photos you want to keep on the iPod in the same directory and/or subdirectory.
For example:
C:\photos
C:\photos\roll1
C:\photos\roll2
This will keep all photos in each directory.

  • Keep photos old photos from deleting when sincing new ones

    My ipod has pictureson it but when I want to add new file delete pictures already there and I wanted to keep those.   Then when I download the old file new one is gone.    Help

    You can only sync one folder of photos to the iPod. If you then select another folder, the photos in the first folder are then deleted from the iPod.
    What you can do is add subfolders to the one syncing folder. You can have one level of subfolders in the one syncing folder.  Just add the new photos as a subfolder in the one syncing folder.

  • Previous text messages deleting when getting new ones

    Since updating to iOS7 I have been having problems with text messges.  I sent a link from Safari to my daughter and it deleted all previous messages between us.  My husband sent an imessage to me this morning and all prior messages from him deleted as well.  Help is it a setting I need to change?

    Are you sure you didn't just send the message to a different address for the same person, or to an address that isn't listed in the same contact as your other messages from the same person?
    If you scroll to the very top of the current message window, is there a "Load Earlier Messages" link that shows the messages you're missing after tapping it?

    If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Hello, i was wondering why itunes retains all old backups of ipad/ipone... is thier a way of overwritting the backups when a new one is created ?

    Hello, i was wondering why itunes retains all old backups of ipad/ipone... is thier a way of overwritting the backups when a new one is created ?

    That is covered here:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    What kind of photos are you talking about?
    Ones in the iPod's Camera Roll album are included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Photos synced to the iPod or not and they are not in your iTunes library either. You have to back those up separately.
    Also the iPod backup that iTunes makes is not included in your iTunes library. It location is listed here:
    iTunes: About iOS backups. So back that up too.

    Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
    If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

  • I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive

    Hi,
    I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive. Opening hard drive folder I can see that I can not overwrite it. I have heard that I need to install some program for the external hard drive to operate properly in Mac.
    Please help what to install or there is some other option.
    Thnx

    I'm not the expert on this since I have never done it. It sounds like you may need a data rescue program like Data Rescue III. I believe you can download a demo and see if you can see the files. If you can, then you can buy the program and retrieve the files. I don't know if Disk Utility can restore them--I think they have to be visible but this is not something I have ever had to do.
    In the meantime, don't do anything with the drive--you don't want to overwrite any files. Hopefully all or most of the files are still there and you will be able to retrieve them. The less the drive is used, the better your chances are of retrieving the data.
    Forgive me for not realizing that there were files on the drive that you wanted to save. Upon re-reading your question, I now see that there were. I should have known to warn you, and my bad that I didn't.
    Good luck!

  • What to Do with Old iPhone When a New One Comes Out

    What do you do with your old iPhone when a new one comes out? Is there some trade-in thing or something? Do I just pay full price for the new iPhone? Does AT&T have a trade-in policy or something?

    No trade-in. I just sell mine [on ebay] a few weeks before the newer version comes out, or right after. they go for quite a bit if they are in nice condition.

  • Help please.connected my current iphone to i tunes it syncd old contacts from previous job to new phone and deleted all my new ones,

    Help please.
    Connected my current iphone to i tunes. it syncd old contacts from previous job and previous phone to new phone and deleted all my new ones. tried to do back up from earlier restore in i tunes but there only seem to be back ups from my old phone not the new one prior to its first sync...

    thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync  but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today?  earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone. 

  • Bug Report - WebOS 1.3.1 - Photos - Deletes old photos when taking new ones

    Hello.  I just noticed that when taking new pictures with me Pre (on WebOS 1.3.1), the numbering has reset, starting at CIMG0001 and when I take new pics, the old pics designated as CIMG0001, CIMG0002, CIMG003, etc. are being deleted and replaced with these new pics.  I currently have 164 pics in my photo roll and notice that when I take  a new picture, the number of pics stays at 164 (instead of adding a new pic and making the new total 164).  I just noticed this bug yesterday, but I upgraded to WebOS1.3.1 last weekend.  I read another posting at everythingpre.com with possibly the same issue:
    30 photo max: WebOS 1.3.1 Bug 
    Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Yes!
    I just joined looking for someone with my same issue... Once I hit 30 photos, it starts randomly deleting my old pics... I just got the phone a week ago and updated it to the new firmware right away, so I donno if it's firmware related or what, but is there a fix? 

  • TA20831 Why do I get error code -50 when copying from one external drive to another in OSX Lion 10.7.4?

    Any pointers (apart from 'googling') would be appreciated. Thanks

    I have not yet been able to figure out what the problem is. I have checked the iMovie and other forums, both here and elsewhere on the Web, and I have not come across a single post that relates to this problem. The files I have been trying to copy are still on the external drive, and I have used the drive to store and transfer other files to and from my TiBook with no problems. But those three iMovie files, which will open and play from the external drive, STILL won't copy back onto my hard drive.
    The one thought I had involved disk space: Maybe a significant amount (30GB or more) of free space needs to be on the target drive when copying such large files. When I get to a point where I can delete some of the larger files I have been tinkering with, I'll try again.
    In the meantime, any insight from anybody into this issue will still be appreciated.

  • Mail reloads and show old/deleted messages as new ones

    I have a  MacBook Pro, 13-inch Retina, Late 2013. Current system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
    I have over a longer period of time experienced problem with my mail program. The application suddenly reloads old, both deleted and not deleted, messages as they were new once. This issue has been on older versions of Yosemite also. I use POP, and the mail is a hotmail account.
    Hope anyone can help.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem but with my iphone 3gs. After the new upgrade to 5.0.1 I realized that all of my old text messages disappear after every new one I receive. I just spoke to an engineer at Apple support and he said he will be calling me back in a few days, once their team finds out what the underlying issue with the software is, that is causing this. As soon as I hear back I will post the outcome. Until then, I suggest you all call and make it apparent to the support line, because when I told them the issue I was having they had no idea, and said it was good that I brought it to heir attention otherwise they hadn't heard about such a situation until now. Hope tha helps :-)

  • Retaining SFX and music when copying/pasting one project to another

    I noticed that when I tried to copy/paste one project into another, the video makes it, but any added sound effects and background music do not get brought along.
    Does anyone know how to override this, so when I copy and paste the project, the SFX and music get copies and pasted, too? Thanks.

    I spoke with AppleCare and they said this is not possible.

  • Does Apple discount existing MacBooks when the new ones come out?

    I haven't bought a Mac in over 10 years and I don't how Apple does business. I want a new MacBook Pro, but I'm not in a super-rush. I can wait another three months, if necessary.
    The current MacBook Pro (top of the line) is more than sufficient for me, it's just a little expensive. I certainly don't need whatever's coming next, but the current 17" is mighty attractive.
    When Apple releases the new MacBook Pro's ... (1st quarter 2010, right?) ... do the existing high-end 2009 models usually sell at a big discount to get rid of the current inventory? You know ... (like car guys say) ... blowing out last years models to make room for the 2010's?
    Is that the cheapest time to buy the previous model? When Apple releases the newest ones?

    There is no "blow-out sale" when the new models come out, at least through Apple. Apple generally keeps a very tight inventory (only a few days worth evidently) on hand, so when new models are about to be released, they are pretty low on inventory of the existing model. In fact, when new models are up for sale through Apple, the older ones disappear from their website/stores.
    Some 3rd party resellers may have discounts on older models, but they too are usually not of the "huge sale" type. A 10% discount is usually pretty generous.
    Other options are to buy a refurbished machine through Apple's website (cheapest option), or if you're a student, faculty, or staff member of an academic institution, take advantage of the student discount (also around 10%)

    You probably have "Replace all items while Autofilling" checked in the autofill settings (which can be found by clicking Music under shuffle in Device. Then click settings at the bottom...
    Dragging doesn't work if you're not in "Manage music manually" mode...
    Have you read "iPodshuffle_3rdGenUG.pdf" which is the manual available online
