Resyncing Photo Albums

Hi all
My laptop was stolen a few weeks back.. and though I thought everything was automatically backed up up via Time Machine.. lots of files are missing.. And some of the most important pictures of my family, particularly all photos of my 4 year old sister, from baby until non, have not been backed up :S
Now the question is, I have all my photo albums on my iPhone.. is there a possible way to get them of my phone and into my computer again?
Thank you for you help.

There is a 3rd party program that will allow you to pull photos and more of your iPhone.
http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/iphone.asp is windows app that does this. Conversely you can open each up and email it to yourself.
keep in mind that these photos have been reduced in size for your iPhone, and you will only recover the reduced photo.

How can I repair / refresh my photo albums?

Hi all,
I am using iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a Windows 7 64bit computer. I am using an iPhone 5 & an iPad Air both running the latest IOS 8.1
Since updating to the latest versions of IOS & iTunes my photo albums on both iPhone & iPad are a mess. Duplicated folders & photos in the wrong albums. When opening the duplicate folder & selecting all photos, the delete option is not there, so I can't even manually delete them.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Catche, re-synced the iPad, same problem.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Catche, re-synced the iPad, unselecting all of the picture folders. I was asked if I wanted to delete all photos, which I agreed to. Then re-synced the folders again, same problem.
I downloaded iExplorer & deleted "Photos.sqlite" from the iPad. Re-started the iPad & it rebuilt the folders & they are still mixed up!
Helllllllllllp.............. how can I rebuild/repair my albums without resorting to restoring everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Roy.

I'm having the same problem on the iPad Aircand iPhone 6 Plus. I really don't know what Apple's problem has been lately, but it's become a joke, between the Remote app and other things. The only thing I can tell you is that I deleted all the photos from my devices and then resynced them again. That solved it until yesterday's software update and then it came back. I'm reaching my end with Crapple.

When I sync my iphone to be able to import all the photos from a specific photo album onto my iphone.. why do the videos included not import?!

So I used to have an iPhone 5 with 7000+ photos inc videos. I finally decided to free up some memory by exporting the entire camera roll into a specific folder on my windows pc. In the album are all the photos and videos, matching the content from my camera roll (obviously). Now I have the 5S and would like the entire library of photos back into my photos app. So obviously it was as simple as plugging in my iPhone and clicking the photos tab, then 'Sync Photos from' and choosing that specific folder that I had previous exported my camera roll into. I then ticked the include videos checkbox. After the sync was completed, I then went onto my photo album and found the correct album being listed. However the number of photos on the iphone album did not match the number of photos in the actual album on my windows pc. Then I realised the reason.. the videos have not transferred? I've tried resyncing several times. iTunes identifies the album to exist the correct number of photos/videos as it should do, yet my iphone still has not imported any videos. Is there anything i'm doing wrong?! Thanks in advance for any help.

Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

How to create new photo albums

i've had my iphone 4 for about a week now...and i'm new to this discussion board so i apologize if this topic has been discussed before.
i have looked at everything i possibly can on my phone and in the users manual. i can't figure out how to create a new photo album!
help!!!

thanks for your reply!
i actually just did that, shortly after i posted my question, i thought i would try it while waiting for a response.
i sync'ed the photos to my computer. created my folders and put those pictures in them. then resync'ed my phone in itunes and chose the various folders to sync. but the "folders" did not sync back to my phone. everything is still in 'camera roll'.
i just want the pics in folders on my phone so i can find pictures easier!
why are there all those spaces under camera roll if it won't let u have more than one folder!? i'm so frustrated! do i have to purchase iphoto or something?

Photo album 'Restoring 84 of 90' message stuck

I was syncing photos today and my computer crashed. I didn't lose any photos, however it has left my iPhone 4 with a message "Restoring 84 of 90" on the main photo album screen. (See attached image below.)
I have done everything short of doing a restore on the phone to try to get rid of it (resyncing, etc)
Is that my only option, if that will even work? Or is there something else I can try?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Mike

Then you probably will need to restore it to fix this, first from backup and if that fails, as new. (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). Restoring from backup will replace the iOS but restore your data and settings. If the problem is contained in your backup your only choice is to restore as new. In either case, you will need to follow the restore by syncing with iTunes in order to sync your media (music) back to your phone. I would recommend you back up your contacts before doing this (unless they are already in Outlook or Address Book). The backup should contain you contacts, but many people have reported losing them anyway. You can do this with the free app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment which you send to yourself and can later be used to re-import your contacts to your phone.

IOS 5 Duplicate Photo Albums

iOS 5 produces exact duplicate photo albums in my Photos on my iPhone.
Before syncing photos from my PC I had Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
In iTunes I configured my iPhone to sync with a folder containing photos, for this example we'll call it FolderX.
When the iPhone synced with that folder it created TWO albums, one called FolderX and one called Photo Library and they BOTH have the EXACT same photos.
So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, and FolderX with the last two albums having the precise same number of the exact same photos.
I do not need this. I do not need two photo albums with the exact same pics. Why on God's green Earth would they make it do this?
When I click the "edit" button I do not get the option to to do anything to the albums except the FolderX album, and it only has the option to move it, but alas, it really doesn't let you move it even though the button is there.
I have already deleted all iPhone and iPod photo cache folders and resynced.
What do I need to do to have only one album on my iPhone with my photos, and not two?

Yeah this is REALLY frustrating. It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5. I've managed to figure out how to get rid of the duplicate photo albums by making a new folder outside the iPhone folder on my PC which is located in "My Pictures" on my computer. I moved all the pictures from my actual iPhone to this new backup folder plus copied what was in the iPhone folder on my PC.
Once I was sure I had backed up all my pictures taken with my iPhone I deleted everything in the "iPhone" folder on my PC including the iPhone Cache folder. I synced from the folder "iPhone" which was now empty & it made the duplicate albums disappear.
I tried syncing from the backup folder to using iTunes & WHAM duplicate photo albums again!!! All the same pictures but now one had the name "Photo Album" & the other duplicate was named the folder that I synced from. IRRITATING!!!!
So I got rid of the duplicate albums by deleting everything in the iPhone folder on my PC & syncing from that folder chosen in iTunes. It's a drag that I can't load up my pictures to enjoy or share without duplicate albums showing up. I want to be able to put pictures from my computer to "Camera Roll" which allows me to delete whatever I don't want easily.
I hate that Apple has made this iCloud thing so duplicate folders show up on my phone without my ability to just delete pictures from those albums or delete the albums easily from my phone.
FIX FIX FIX it Apple!
I should also note that I never allowed iCloud services on my iPhone & have NOT downloaded the service to my computer either. I don't want anything to do with iCloud.

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!

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.

How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too. It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc. But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?! If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

How do I delete downloaded photo albums from my iPhone 4 if I don't have the original computer?

My old computer crashed causing me to lose everything. I have a photo album on my iPhone that I would like to get rid of but i can't seem to figure out how to on my new computer. Is it possible to get rid of that album without factory resetting my phone and losing everything?

Try this (not 100% sure it will work, though.)
Transfer all your photos from the device to your computer:
Then, do an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Erase all content & settings.
Restore from the backup.

Can't select any photos in camera roll or photo album... help!

I have a iphone 3Gs on 4.2.1
If I go to my camera roll or any photo album, I can enter but if I select an image in the camera roll or photo album it just automatically closes and goes back to the home screen. Hard reboot, reboot is still the same.
Any suggestions as to the cause?
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

How do I delete photo albums from my IPhone that don't show up in Itunes?

I have an IMac recently upgraded to OSX 10.9. My Iphone is a 4S running 7.0.4. I know how to manage songs and photos using ITunes, but somehow my entire photo library has been synched to my IPhone. The odd thing is the photos don't show up when I run the Preview Application (one way to remove photos from the IPhone). Only the Camera Roll photos show up there. And in ITunes I do not have any albums checked to synch. I have no idea how the albums got onto my phone, and no idea how to remove them.
In ITunes, I make sure no photo albums are selected, and I choose "synch," but they just won't remove from the Iphone. When I look under "Settings" "General" on my Iphone sometimes it shows over 8,000 photos and sometimes 2,000 photos. But the albums never are removed. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
I'm about ready to do a factory reset. Can anyone help????

. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....
