Picture sync didn't update smart photo album

I have a smart photo album that contains all the pictures that are tagged or contain my daughter. this smart album is synced to my apple tv.
I recently re-synced my apple tv to include a new album of a recent family vacation, and that was added to the apple tv fine, but it did not update the smart album. basically, the apple tv said, okay, i'll add the new album like you have checked, and I'm done.
Why?

I am having the same issue. I had four smart photo albums that were synced to AppleTV, but when I uncheck one the smart albums it still syncs those photos.
I read in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1971808 that they had to restore their AppleTV. I do not want to restore it because it is a 160gb unit and I don't want to have to redo all the syncing over wireless.
Please, is there a way to get this to not happen? I unchecked all the smart albums, synced and it showed no photos on the AppleTV. But, when I resynced it with the three wanted albums, all the photos appear from all four of the original albums.
Is there a cache file somewhere that I need to delete?
Thanks!

  • Hi, whilst on holiday my iPhone automatically updated my photo album and duplicated all the pictures. I deleted the duplicate pictures now when I click on the photo it's just a black screen. Any ideas how I can restore my photos?

    Does anybody know how to restore photos on the iPhone 4?
    My phone automatically updated my photo album and it made duplicates of each photo.
    I deleted one of each as it maxed out my memory. When I went to view the photos I just got a black screen. I have now lost all my
    Photos :( if I synch my phone what will happen?

    The only way to lose content on the device is restore as "new" from iTunes or "Erase All Content and Settings" from the device.
    Start by resetting or restarting the device to see if that rectifies the problem.

    Does it show up in your camera roll?

  • TS2529 My iPhone 4S will not, as of today, update the photo albums I tell it to. It always has before today.

    My iPhone 4S will not, as of today, update the photo albums I tell it to. It did yesterday but will not today. What am I doing wrong? I haven't changed anything in the settings.

    the first one can be resolved by following the steps in article TS3221 which you can search for in the upper-right corner of this page
    the second one is caused by security software on your computer blocking the pc's communication with the apple update server. make sure you turn that stuff off or uninstall it if that doesn't work. also turn off your firewall
    to be honest, i'm pretty sure that all the instances of error 11 i've heard of have been related to jailbreaking software on the computer or the phone
    hope it works out!

  • I tried to update my photo albums in my Iphone 4S. I could not, and the old photos were removed. I tried again to copy the albums in the Iphone from a PC Windows XP folder and it does not work.

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
    So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

  • Synced folders not showing as photo albums

    iphone 1.1.1, itunes 7.5.0
    I select a folder under itunes photos to sync, it syncs the files over. i go to camera, open albums, the only album shown is camera roll, i noticed this a few weeks back, before.. dont remember if it was before i updated to 1.1.1 it would show my other folders i synced from itunes as their albums, lets say Vacaion, Graduation... so on.
    If i go to about, in the settings, it shows the correct photo count, the camera roll photos plus the photos it synced over.
    Then i installed a 3rd part application, CameraPro, if i click on Photos in that, it shows Camera Roll and my.. missing albums...
    So the photos did sync over, as the correct album, the iphone camera applicaion wont show them? strange!

    You might want to do a reset and/or restore on the iphone.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • Photos didn't update iPhoto photos

    Updates. Ugh. The fabulous new Photos app came up with no photos in it. Not a one. I have hundreds of pictures in iPhoto. After panicking and running around in circles, I figured out that iPhoto is still on the hard drive, and when I open it, it shows all my pictures. However, I can't import those pictures into Photos. When I use the import command, the iPhoto Library is grayed out. When I drag the iPhoto library into Photos it says there is nothing in the file that it can recognize.

    1. Quit both iPhoto and Photos.
    2. Open Photos holding the Alt (option) key.
    3. When prompted select your iPhoto Library and follow the on screen steps for importing the iPhoto Library to Photos. 

  • Why did random pictures pop up in my iPhone photo album?

    Okay so the weirdest most random thing happened. 3 random pictures from a year and 2 years ago popped up out of no where into my photo library. They weren't even pictures I would have saved somewhere. One was a screenshot and 2 were just random accidental pictures. Anyone have an idea why or how this happened? 

    Your phone may have suffered some sort of directory glitch. If this keeps happening, I suggest doing a reset:
    Try this  - Reset by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • CAN'T UPDATE MY PHOTO ALBUM

    i can't update from app from apple store it's referring me to use another account my friend used before i bought the computer from him how do i change this so that i can update from my account

    Your friend cannot legally transfer apps that he bought in the Mac App Store to you. That is software piracy. He should have removed all apps that he purchased from the MAS before selling the computer to you. The only software that he can legally provide to you with the sale of the computer is the software that was on the Install DVDs that came with the computer when he bought it. He can also sell to you the original installation media for software that he bought, as long as he removes the software from any other computers he may have.
    The only way that you can legally update this app, and any other apps he has illegally transferred to you that have updates in the future, is for your to delete them from your Mac and for you to purchase them using your own MAS account.

  • UNABLE to save pictures to photo album from SMS text

    I have the 16GB 3GS, and no e-mail or SMS text that contain pictures can be saved to my photo album. Each time I select save picture, nothing happens. I have restored my iPhone 3 times from back ups and once as "a new phone" loosing all my app settings.

    Well, got home and resynced and restored my iphone
    When you restored your new phone, did you restore it from the backup of your old phone? If so, that "could" be your problem. Something in your backup could very well be corrupt, thus restoring your problem to your new phone. Why not try restoring your phone as a "new" device in itunes, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. If this solves your issue, that would confirm your old backup is corrupt.

  • Syncing iOS Photo Albums

    I'm looking for the most effecient way to manually "sync" my iPad and iPhone photo albums. Specifically, I'd like to have all the same albums, pictures, and videos on both devices. (One could also add an iPod into the mix as well.)
    I like the devices to be "synced" for two reasons: 1) I simply prefer to have all my content available on both iOS devices, and 2) I have found that if content is not "synced" between devices it becomes hard to organize.
    This process must be done manually for a few reasons: 1) Photostream/iCloud pics are temp, 2) Photostream/iCloud doesn't sync albums, and 3) Photostream/iCloud doesn't support videos.
    Below I will outline the method am I currently using, and I'd like feedback if there is an easier/better/different way to accomplish the same. (If there is a way to automize any of these processes using additional 3rd party apps, please let me know.)
    1) Manually create the same albums on each iOS device. Ex. Create Family, Work, and Hobby albums on both devices.
    2) Manually (of course) assign iPhone pics/videos to iPhone albums and iPad pics/videos to iPad albums.
    3)  Use Photostream to automagically transfer pictures betwix devices. Pull pictures from Photostream and manually assign to corresponding iPhone/iPad albums. Ex. Take a picture with iPhone. Assign it to "Family" album on iPhone. Then, on iPad, pull same picture from Photostream and assign it to "Family" album on iPad.
    4) Use PhotoSync iOS app to manually transfer videos betwix devices. Pull videos from "Saved Photos/Camera Roll" and manually assign to corresponding iPhone/iPad albums. Ex. Take a video with iPhone. Assign it to "Family Videos" album on iPhone. Then, use PhotoSync app to send video to iPad. Assign video from "Saved Photos" album to "Family Videos" album.
    5) If you delete or remove from album a pic/video on the iPhone, manually do the same on the iPad and vice versa.
    This is the method I use. Again, I'm seeking feedback about whether there is a better way to accomplish the same.
    Thanks!

  • Can I sync my photo albums to my PC or just all the photos as one chunk via Photostream?

    So I figured out how to sync my Photostream to my PC.  However, when it syncs it's just all the photos. Is there anyway to sync the structure of my photo albums to the icloud or my PC so I have the organization I have on iphone?

    No, PhotoStream was designed to be one long stream of photos.
    You might be able to organize photos in your upload folder into folders, but they will not display when viewing PhotoStream.

  • ITunes not properly picking up Photos album

    After importing a series of images in Photos and editing them to 55 total, the number showing up in the Sync window in iTunes shows there are 100 images, including those I had deleted to make the album look the way I wanted.
    I tired unchecking that album and doing a sync, thereby deleting the 100-photo album from my iPad. When I turned on the album for sync, it again showed 100 images.
    How to I get the iTunes photos window to reflect what I want from Photos?

    Use the CTRL and , (comma) keys to bring up the Edit /Preferences screen. On the General tab, look for the Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet and make sure the tick is on.
    If it is already on, make sure that your firewall and anti-virus software are allowing iTunes access to the internet.

  • Can't sync photo albums to iPad after update

    I just updated my ipad2 to 5.0, and am running the current version of iTunes on a windows vista pc. And can not sync my photo albums to my iPad 2. Please help? I tried and while in iTunes , when iPad is connected, the summary page says my photos are on the iPad, they are not actually on the iPad. I go to photos on the iPad and there are outlines of the albums with their names on them, but no pictures inside. Can anyone help please?:)))

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
