Sync'd and lost photo albums - help!

I sync'd my iPad Air with my PC before leaving home and added several Albums to my Photos. I do not have the photos in these albums on my Laptop. I took some photos on my camera, created a folder on my laptop and copied these new pics into it. I then sync'd my iPad using my laptop and iTunes with the intent of copying the new folder of pics to the iPad (I selected just that folder in the iTunes sync for Photos). The sync did copy this folder to my iPad as a new album, but it also deleted all of the albums I put on the iPad from my home PC. How can I get them back? I do not have an iCloud backup....

That is the danger of syncing with two different computers given the way that iTunes syncs photos.
When you sync with photo folders specified in iTunes it places just those folders on the iPad and deletes any other synced folders. You must always specify all the folders in iTunes, even the ones that are already there.
You can restore the lost folders from your PC when you return home. Note that you will lose the folder from your laptop when you do this if you don't copy that folder from your laptop to your PC first.

If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them.

Lost photo album on ipod

so a while ago, i had a whole photo album from my birthday party on my ipod, one night, i put on to charge on my computer, and when i looked the next morning, the whole album was gone... no trace of it on itunes, on my ipod, just nothing... i was hoping someone might be able to help me get this lost photo album back... btw i think this was around last year not too long after i first got my ipod...

The photos came from your computer in the first place. They should still be there.

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

How to sync an iphone created photo album with aperture

hello,
how can I do to sync a iPhone created Photo Album with Aperture?.
First of all, I created a new Photo Album on my iPhone (IOS 5.x), then I want it to sync with Apple Aperture 3, but Aperture created no new Album in the Project Folder. What can I do?
Best Regards
Sigi

If the album was placed on the phone by syncing photos from a computer to the phone, the way to remove it is to sync again but this time remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (if you want to remove all previously synced photos) or change the selection of photos in iTunes to be synce. Each time you sync photos using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/photo selection in iTunes.

Anyone having same prob as me? I updated to 8.1.3 and lost photo stream - all settings are set for photostream updating - the blue shirts at the Apple store seem to think that the feature was removed with the 8.1.3 update

Oh too bad. Wish you good luck tomorrow then. Hope you retrieve them. If not, at least you learned something from it.

Synced photos from pc to iphone and lost photos in iphone library

Hello to everyone. I need your help cause I recently lost more than 600 photos that I had on my iphone5. I bought iphone5s so I wanted to backup my files and photos. I connected to itunes and, by mistake, I synced photos fromy my pc to iphone and 645 photos I had on the LIBRARY (from previous device iphone 4) syddenly disappeared. I restored backup that I have done before syncing, but my photos were not back at the library. All photos from the Camera Roll were back, but not at the Library. Does anybody know if there is a way to get them back? They are very important photos to me and I would appreciate it very very much if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but unless those photos are on your computer, or part of your computer backup, they are gone. Photos synced to your phone are not included in any iPhone backup, so restoring from backup will not restore them.

IPhoto update to 9.4.1 and lost all albums and photo event history

I madethe suggested updates on the 8th OCt. 2012 and then today, first opening after upgrade and much to my surprise all my photo albums and event/import history is gone. Please tell me this is recoverable.

If you're are truely opening your main library after following leonieDF's suggestion do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library ande select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT4236 How do I delete the photos in my "Photo library" and "Iphone photo" albums?

Help in deleting photos
I can look at my photos on my Iphone like a hard drive and copy and paste the photos to my computer. I can then delete a batch at a time on the Iphone camera roll. However, how do I delete the 242 photos in my "photo library" album and the 242 duplicate photos in my "Iphone photo" album? When I click on the arrow box icon in the upper right corner of my phone, I can click on a photo, but the delete icon is not available.
I am trying to free up more space on my phone and I want to delete these photos that I have already downloaded to my computer.

Check and see if they synced from more than one computer app.
In itunes, Photos> Check mark "Sync Photos from". See what else is in the drop down menu. (i.e. iphoto, pictures folder, Aperture, choose folder, etc.). If you get the option to: Select Albums, Events, Faces and automatically include. Check mark that, and see if any blue album, or events are ticked. If so, uncheck mark and go down and click Apply/Sync.

IPhone resets playing music and viewing Photo Album

My iPhone has started reseting to the main menu and the applications (photo album and iPod) at random when both are active. I hava also had several resets, I call them that because I don't know what the system is doing but the application simply quits and the phone goes back to the top menu. I have heard there is a problem with the latest version of the system so is there anything I can do to stablize the situation? The phone is working as it should be but the applications are not predictable.
Thanks for your responses in advanced.

The behavior you're describing where the application quits and you are taken back to the home screen is called "crashing".
The first thing you can try is resetting your iPhone. Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down until the Apple logo shows on the screen (about 6-8 seconds), then release the buttons.
If that does not help, you should restore your iPhone. Connect your phone to iTunes, let it sync, and then click restore. After your iPhone software is reloaded, you will be able to restore all your data from your last sync. You will have to re-enter some passwords, such as your voicemail password, wi-fi network passwords, and email account passwords.
If you continue to get crashes despite these measures, I recommend getting your iPhone serviced either by taking it to the Apple store or by calling 1-800-MY-iPHONE.

Lost photo album

I lost a photo album when I did a system restore. any thoughts if its recoverable? I had done a back up to my computer and my photos and my other album came back, just not this particular album.

If the photos were synced to your phone from your computer or photo stream they wouldn't be included in the backup. The backup only includes camera roll photos. If these were not in the camera roll you would need a different backup source to recover them.
