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

Why did frame rate of video shot on iphone 5 change from 30 fps to 24 fps?

Why did frame rate of video shot on iphone 5 change from 30 fps to 24 fps?

My understanding (which could be wrong) is that the iPhone shoots video with a variable frame rate. This is likely so it can optimize video for FaceTime. So uncomplicated scenes can be shot with a lower framerate, and active scenes will be shot with a higher framerate.

Why did my ipod receive a song separate from the album that was downloaded

why did my ipod receive a song separate fron the album that it was downloaded with?
i copied a cd using itunes

Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?

Why did I lose my apps on my iPhone after I update to IOS 6?

I would guess that it is because you failed to make sure that they were all on your computer before you updated.

HT201302 Why when i'm trying to download my iphone photos to computer is it saying there are there are no photos or videos on this device???

Why when i'm trying to download my iphone photos to computer is it saying there are no photos or videos on this device when I have many on the phone.

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Why did my contacts not download to new iphone, everything else did?

why did my contacts not download to my new iphone via itunes ? everything else did. with my favorites only numbers transferred not names.

For the Contacts (I'm waiting my new 5s) I'm using the free App "MyContactsBakup" (or MCBakup), it works just fine on my iPhone 4.
It works for pics too I guess. It is reliable, it process and send a file attached to a mail with all your contacts (pics, etc.). You open the attachment from your iPhone and add all the contacts again.
Easy and effective, I'm happy with this.

Why are all pictures I take on my iPhone 4s upside down when received in an email?

Always the pictures download upside down whenever it's emailed. In my camera roll they are straight or right side up and also it's right side up in another iOS device but when I download it from my pc it's always sideways or upside down.

It's always right side up if the picture is in a text message or opened in an email in an iOS device. However in my case like using a laptop to open some mail the pictures I've taken from my iPhone is always upside down or sideways. If I then try to rotate it, for some pictures my computer will give an error message that the picture can't be saved with the changes because of something about the file properties. It is possible that it's my computer but if you have a pc and an iPhone try it.
Also if I edit the pictures in iPhoto using my iPhone the pictures opened in my pc is always right side up with no problems. Or if I import the pictures using the windows photo application most of the time the pictures will import correctly but like in my case a few nights ago some pictures were upside down and sideways and could not be saved after rotating it.

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!

Why is the New iPad is super slow in photo album?

Hi, I am a previous owner of iPad 2 and am VERY HAPPY with it.
I was so excited to get the New iPad, but now very unhappy with it.
The advertisement of quad core graphics chip does not do any good.
The photo album took at least 3 times longer to display an image (in comparison to the iPad 2).
Viewing all photos in slideshow is out of the question because photo was not displayed in full resolution fast enough.
Please HELP

Thank Jim, but it doesn't help.
I did all sorts of power off, soft reset, hard reset, and even restore to original default. None that help.
Do you have iPad 2 to compare with?
Anyhow, these pictures were NOT taken by the iPad camera, they are from photo albums (taken by SLR) and synced to the library. These have much higher resolution and possibly have bigger file sizes (eventhough iTunes compressed it down during sync).
The New iPad could NOT load the picture in full resolution fast enough (I measured about 3.5 seconds) whereas the iPad 2 was able to complete the same picture in about +1 sec.
I am very disappointed. I will make an appointment with Apple and see what their answer is.

Why did my pictures download out of order?

I am trying to do a picture video for my son for Graduation. When I scanned and entered the items I wanted on the flash drive I did it in the order I wanted it on the video. Then when I went to adobe premier and uploaded them they uploaded out of order. I am trying to put it all back in order but I am not sure how tk do it in a fast time. It's taking forever. I am about ready to delete it all and start all over with the upload but if they never will upload in order then I would have to start completely over. Please help! I have a hp laptop that I am using

On a side note, 'upload' means to transfer a file from a local computer to a remote computer over a network, and 'download' means the reverse, from a remote computer to a local computer. These terms have nothing to do with PP after the installation process.
What you're doing is importing the media.

Why did my iPhoto library balloon from 3,500 photos to 53,000 photos?

I had to repair my drive. I exported my library to another drive. When I imported my iPhoto library back to my repaired drive, my library ballooned from 3,500 photos to 53,000 photos. There's hundreds and hundreds of duplicates. Pictures with just faces from whole pix and cryptic names under the photos. I included a screenshot. My whole iphoto library is messed up. If you have any ideas on how I can get rid of the duplicates that would be awesome!

Why? Because of this:
When I imported my iPhoto library back to my repaired drive...
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So, trash your this library and next time simply move the library to the Pictures Folder and then open iPhoto.

HT1349 why are my pictures and videos from 4s iphone when downloaded sideways and the videos too? Please help with feedback

Ok who has been having problems everytime you want to download your videos and pictures they download sideways and videos too, please help

The photos and videos are not imported that way. The problem lies with whatever photo/video viewing software you are using with Windoze which is ignoring or not recognizing the photo/video orientation info which is included with the photo/video EXIF data by the iPhone.
I've never had this problem but I use a Mac which doesn't ignore photo/video orientation info included with photo/video EXIF data.

Why did photostream only sync 50 out of 170 photos to my new iphone?

I purchased a new iphone 4s and turned on photostream. Only 50 of my photos synced to the new device. I've tried plugging my phone in to charge and syncing icloud when connected to wifi and...nothing. I have multiple pictures of my newborn son that I want to keep with me, but they won't sync to my phone.
Any suggestions?
Thnx.

Where are the photos being synced from?
Remember that photo stream only stores photos from a device (with camera, like iphone) after photo stream has been turned on - it won't take on old photos. If the photos are currently on your computer (where copies should be), copy the photos you want to the photo stream album (on a mac, use iphoto). Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days (a max of 1000 photos).
Additional advice:
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. This is covered in the manual.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
