Photos sync from computer folders, but are in the wrong albums and some photos only appear as a white box?

On my iPad 2, I'm syncing my photos through iTunes from folders on my computer, as I am a photographer and don't like to use iPhoto and not have direct access to my original files.
My photos sync without any hassle, but when viewing them on the iPad half the photos present as white boxes or a half photo/half white screen. I tried resetting iPad as a last measure, I've deleted the photo cache etc, to no avail. In fact, the most recent time I tried it didn't fix the white screen, but also added another issue- my photos now are completely mixed up within the albums. Christmas photos and showing in the Easter album and so on, there seems to be no logic in it! As I was given my iPad last month by my father in laws company, they had bought their stock a while ago and it's now out of AppleCare support - even though I've only used it for a month! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
My Mac is a 1 yr old MacBook pro running snow leopard. My iTunes was the second oldest version, have just updated to most recent version, but it hasn't fixed anything.

Updating to the latest Iphoto release solved this. First time it rebuilt the libraries the pics appeared again.

  • My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

    iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?

    Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • How do I remove photos synced from computer

    How do I remove photo albums synced from computer without losing them on the computer

    If you un-check them in iTunes on the computer then sync, they should be removed from the phone but remain on the computer.
    Why would you completely delete the folders on the computer instead of just moving them?

    I thought that I had backed up my pictures to icloud, but when I looked online at icloud, I don't see pictures listed.  However, a few of the recent pictures have shown up on my phone.
    IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

  • I uploaded my photos to my computer.  I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone.  I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.

    Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

  • I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive.  I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location.  After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

    I may have found an answer here:

    They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

  • Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. What is causing this?

    Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. When I select in viewer they are normal again.

    As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
    So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
    . Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
    Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
    Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
    We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
    We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
    Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
    Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
    If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

  • I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • Photos synced from PC to iPad are not in the correct orientation or the correct order.

    Photos shot in portrait orientation are rotated on PC, but when synced return to original. Also, photos do not appear in the correct order.

    They will be in date modified order, with the Photos app you can't change the field that they are sorted by - you will need to adjust their date modified fields on your computer to be in the same order as date taken.
    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and re-try syncing them and see if they are correctly oriented : iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

  • On my ipad2, when I slide photos sync from my PC, there are delays. What is the problem??

    Seriously ;(
    Is there any problems on hardware or software?
    Ios version is the latest

    transfer of photos from computer to ipad will have a delay depending on the size of the files involved. most digital cameras take a picture, these days, sizing at about 5 to 6 meg at full res.....if your going to copy alot of pictures at once or sync alot then transferring them will cause a slight pause as the systems involved figure out how much data to move and where to move it to.
    the faster your pc then the quicker this process will be and less of a pause you will notice.

  • I can tag new photos when I add them, but I can't go back and tag photos I've already uploaded. Help?

    I am trying to tag photos so they will appear in the photo bar across the top of my page. I am uploading new photos, and I get the option to tag those photos, but when I try to go back and tag photos that I had already uploaded, I can't find any way of tagging them I either get the "edit" page, or the black framed blow up of the photo, just like you get when you are tagging a photo, but the bar across the bottom that lists options, including tagging, never appears. Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks

    Not sure what this means, but I'll work on it. The only solution I found so far was to totally erase the old photos from FB, and reload them as if they were new photos. That took me to the screen I was looking for and I was able to tag them. Thanks for your response, I'll try to figure that out. Problem is, I don't off the top of my head know how to access the info Pane. I'll have to look for the i button.

  • I recently installed the xbox 360 controller app so that I could play my rockband drums in logic and ableton live but I installed the wrong one and I was wondering if anyone knew how to uninstall it from the system preferences page and the whole program?

    If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it and if anyone knows how to use the drum pads for those programs I mentioned would be great? I found a couple sites for using it with garageband but nothing as for mainly live and Im running OSX 10.6 so if anyone out there knows please let me know!!! The main reason I think I installed the wrong one is when I plug in the rockband drum kit to my usb port it dosen't show up in the xbox controller program but it lights up and I've tried all my different usb ports to see if that might be whats wrong but I still show nothing and I've also installed junXion and nothing shows up there either. So if anyone has any ideas just let me say thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

  • I had my Ipod touch 4gen on itunes of computer that crashed. On new computer i updated it, hit the wrong button, and lost everything. How do i get my old songs, apps, and account money back?

    I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?

    I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.
