Pictures have more photos than LR

Hi,
I am just moving my photos from Aperture to LR by Exporting the Versions into non Aperture folders in finder and then "move" them into LR.
In LR it lists three short of the number that it shows in Pictures. So that presumably means 3 photos not been imported into LR somewhere along the way? Yes/No?
How do I go about trying to find the three?
I have gone through Find Missing photos and there are "no missing photos"
The synchronise option is greyed out so cannot select this option for some reason.
What else can I do to find the missing three photos?
thanks
john

Thanks,
How would I go about finding the name of one of the photos that isn't shown in LR? All I know is that there are three less in LR than Pictures.
I am unsure which Folder it comes from and I have now 900 odd photos to go through.
I tried using the procedures for moving Aperture to Lightroom but they all came out in date order which was of no help to me so had to move manually and export from my Managed Aperture Library to a Referenced one to begin with to be able to Import into LR. I did find the procedures rather unclear, no not so much unclear but it seemed built for people who understood a lot technical stuff than I did and didn't seem to be for beginners. Using Aperture I was taking photos, but since moving over to LR I have had to learn a lot about computers/cameras/background info to a lot of photography areas which is all new to me. Have learnt a whole lot and sure it has helped me but not without its pitfalls during my learning process.
Could I have Exported a Folder at a time rather than each photo then? If so how would I go about doing that?
I have noticed in Finder that some of the early photos that I exported (from Aperture) I can click into a see an image, yet most of them I just get a blank folder in Finder. The photos are in LR which is the main thing. Will it create a problem with not being able to see the photo in Finder? Not so much that I want to see them there but thinking about any negative knock on effects.
Look forward to hearing from you and clarifying these issues.
thanks a lot
john

IPad says I have more videos than I have

trying to reduce storage I have found that my iPad says I have 44 videos when I only have 9. Where should I look for them please?

First, check the recently deleted folder. If that is empty, try: Why does my iOS device say I have more photos than I can find?

'All Photographs' contains more photos than in folders

All photographs collection contains more photos than in folders - (Using LR 4) There are about 6k more photos that are in my catalog (All Photographs) than what is showing up in my folders below. All of my photos are located on an external hard drive. I have them organized by year. So for example, if in LR I click on 'All Photographs' in the library module, I can see hundreds of photos from 2009. I can also see all these photos on my external hard drive under the 2009 folder. However , these photos do not show up under the folders in LR. I've tried 'synchronizing' my folder in LR, but it thinks all of the photos are duplicates, since they are indeed already in the catalog (just not the folder)

To tell you the truth, this kind of thing is nearly impossible to diagnose across the internet, so I have only a few pieces of advice on how to fix this.
If an entire folder has been copied to the internal drive, and that's where you did the editing, but you'd like to use the copies on the external drive, then right-click on the Folder name and select Update Folder Location and point to the corresponding folder on the external drive.
The other piece of advice I have is kind of trivial ... don't create more duplicates! don't put photos on your internal drive! If you yourself are more organized, then Lightroom will reflect that!
Good luck

I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space? Thanks

Why not try syncing a smart playlist that updates automatically every time you sync your iPod?
Try something like this:
1. Pull down File > New Smart Playlist;
2. Playlist IS Music; click the plus button;
3. Last Played IS NOT in the last 90 days;
4. Select the option to Limit to xxx items selected by Random and click OK.
Name the playlist that is created something distinctive then sync you iPod with that. It will automatically update based on the last played dates of a tune and you'll always have fresh content on your iPod. Modify the playlist as needed to make it give you the results you want.

Michael

"Last Month" in RECENT shows a lot more photos than just last month's photo

For some reason when I select "Last Month" in RECENT (on the left) I get a lot more photos than just last month, it seems like just about all the photos from the current year!
Any one else running into this problem?
By the way, my library was originally created using iPhoto '07 and I upgraded when iLife '08 came out.

Indeed that is the case but it sounds to me like a bug and not a feature.
I agree - but since this is just a user forum that is all I can do
report to Apple -- iphoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback - they can change it

IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

Info shows way more photos than photo folder does?

the info on my iPad tells me I have 745 photos, however, in my photo folder, I only find 177,
and I don't have a lot of photos in other maps...
still it takes 2,5GB of memory, which I think is quite a lot, where are all those photos my iPad tells me I have?
and how can i fix this?

There are many possibility that the photo is hiding.
Maybe you turn on the photo sharing which is located at setting>photo&camera. Is will add up the 177 so it will become more.
Second is you have more then one apple product so the photo will transfers here and there.

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?

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.

Why does my iTunes show more photos than I really do on my device?

I only have 493 photos on my device but my iTunes shows that I have 644 and a lot of memory is used because of that? Any reason why this happens and how I might be able to delete the extra photos?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Itunes says that I have more photos on my Iphone than I actually do, please help

I'm not sure why but the Itunes bar at the bottom is really full for my phone. It says that I have thousands of photos on my phone even though I have cleared all of them off to try to save space.
Please help,
Joe

I had this problem, too.
I have fixed it. It cost me 99 cents.
My phone said I had 247 photos/videos. Itunes said I had 1700+. Both said that Photos & Video were taking up 10.8 GB of storage.
On my phone, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan
I selected the 20GB plan for $0.99 a month
Then, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Photos
I enabled My Photo Stream (slider to the right/green)
Then, I got on WiFi. I don't know how long it took, certainly not long enough to upload gigabytes of data, but I saw that my Photos & Camera app was using a far more reasonable amount of storage (1.3 GB, rather than 10.8 GB). I checked this by going to
Settings --> General --> Usage --> Manage Storage
Because I don't want the 20GB iCloud plan, I went back to
Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan --> Downgrade Options (at the bottom)
... and I selected the 5 GB Free plan again.
Now for a little rant.
I am very unhappy that I had to give Apple one thin dime to have this fixed. After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can barely use any storage on my phone, I had to pay to fix it. Ridiculous.
I still enjoy using Apple products, but I enjoy using them less and less over time. Not only is every release of iTunes less usable than the previous one, the last one wouldn't even install on my machine. That was about another six hours lost trying to figure out the problem.
I'm not sure if this is a first world problem. Ugh! My life is so hard!

ITunes shows thousands more photos than I have on my iPhone 5s

iTunes says that I have over 3200 photos on my iPhone taking up over 11GB of space. I've only synced 1100 photos from iPhoto to my 5s via iTunes. I have less than 40 photos in my Camera Roll and less than 50 photos in my photo stream. I manually deleted everything from my "recently deleted" album in my iPhone app (system 8.1.1). Why is iTunes saying I have over 3200 photos, and taking up 11GB on my 32 GB iPhone 5s
Thank you for any advice you can offer

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.
Hope this works for you

Why does it say I have more photos on my iPhone than I really do?

When I back up my phone I apparently have over 1800 photos and over 4GB being used in photos. However, my photo app has only 180 picture in the album and photo stream combined. How do I find and delete the extra 1700 photos?

How do I "house" more photos than will fit on my internal drive?

I'm just about ready to try to make my entire digital photo collection available on my Mac. But since I only have 120GB, I think it will be too crowded to put them all on the internal hard drive (I have them in several locations, but I think the total will be around 60-80,000??). I have an external drive with PLENTY of space, but I don't keep it connected all the time. What is the best way to set this up? Hubby and I are separate users, and I can easily divide the libraries in two that way. Right now, all the currently taken photos are being put on "his side" in iPhoto.
Oh, and I'm using iPhoto 7 (iLife '08) on a Tiger (10.4.11) with no plans to further upgrade any time soon.
I haven't really read enough much about the iPhoto file structure, and prefer to just let iPhoto handle it, and then back up regularly...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the external HD is formatted for the Mac you can just move your library to the external and run it from there. You can have a smaller library on your laptop with more current photo or those photos needed for a project. iPhoto Library Manager can be used to quickly change from one library to anotherr and copy albums or events between the two.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

More photos than wanted when iPad synch

Old iPad 1, wife owns and uses it. She never synched before yesterday. She has no PC. I have PC and iPhone 4s.
She had no iTunes account nor did she have an iCloud account. iPad 1 was set up with my iTunes account so she could buy books and buy apps.
We synched for first time yesterday, with the goal of getting upgraded to iOS 5.1.1.
Established iTunes account and signed in under her new ID and password. Plugged in iPad and did synch, also OKing for full backup and everything.
Lost all contacts. Not recoverable any way. Bummer. Apple's fault, we are sure.
But here is the nasty thing. The synch put all MY PHOTOS from my MY PICTURES folder onto her iPad.
Is it because we had not established a separate iCloud account for her?

Sync again but this time deselect the photos folder and the photos will be removed from her iPad.
