Why do my downloaded photos keep disappearing?

Hi......its me again! Thank you for your previous help Lt. Leviathan.
I managed to download photos from my laptop to my ipod touch 4th gen. Your instructions were brilliant, and it all worked a lot easier for me than I expected! My problem now is that I can download one folder fine, but when I download another one its deleting the previous one!?
This is what I am doing........I select a folder to Sync. The bullet mark shows in "all folders " (can't change as "selected" is greyed out). I click on "apply". Once everything is synced I then hit the Sync button bottom right of screen. I check my ipod and all pics I want are there. I then choose another folder and do the same thing, but when I check my ipod all the previous pics/folder have disappeared!.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?
Also I tried to create an Album title for each set of pics, but how do I actually get the pics into that album............thats when I can get round the above problem of course!
Thanks for your help.......I know I am a frustrating woman!!! lol.

Thanks for your reply.
Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE  large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
.......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
Thanks for your patience.

    I personally think the disappearing files are caused by flaky/slow internet connection.
    I always make sure files are uploaded to the cloud before I close the app.

  • IMessage photos keep disappearing

    I'm finding that my iMessage photos keep disappearing. Both my sent and received photos turn into an image of a question mark. How do I prevent this from happening? Restarting my iPhone / closing out completely of messages does absolutely nothing.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hey tmgater,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending pictures via iMessage. A quick troubleshooting step for this symptom is to turn off iMessage, power cycle your device, then re-enable it. For additional troubleshooting information, check out the following resource:

  • Why if i download photos from pc   will  automatic off of that pcs

    why if i download photos from pc   will  automatic off of that pcs

    I am going to take a guess here at what you are asking. If you are wondering why when you try to download another album of photos from the PC to the iPad why the other photos are being erased, it's because you can only sync from one main photos folder at a time.
    Place all of your photos into one main syncing album and sync that one album. You can create one level and sub folders and place those sub folders in the main syncing photos album and select those albums to syn, but you can sync from one main folder only by selecting that album in the Sync Photos From heading of the photos tab of iTunes.

  • Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

  • Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

    Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll?????  If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

  • Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

    Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs.  It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF.  I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. 
    I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
    1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
    2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
    3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
    4. Click OKs and close the program.
    5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to  Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin. 
    (The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
    Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again.  I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
    So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
    Any help with be awesome.
    Thank you

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

  • Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

    I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
    Any ideos how i can fix this... 

    For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

  • Why do my projects and photos keep disappearing?

    So I've imported a bunch of photos into Aperature, and into a specific project and then I leave thre program and re-enter the project and the photos are no longer there, I just get a untitled project with no photos in it. Any ideas? I've lost over 1000 photos and have no idea where they've gone.

    So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
    This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
    I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

  • Why do my photos keep disappearing

    Okay  I am now on my second Macbook air, and for a second time my photos just start disapearing. No not allat once but every once in a while I go bakc and check events and sure enough some of them have now disappeard. When I say disappeard I men the thumbnail is still there down at the bottom, but when I scroll through the event a big black screeen with a excvlamation point in a silver triangel appears.  Yes I have been backing up but when I bring back my old library from months ago same deal. 
    This has never happened on my wifes Mac dek top or our previous HP Desk top, so nit sure what to think, two laptops same thing.

    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • Why do iOS 7 photo filters disappear?

    Whenever I take a photo on my 5s using one of the built in photo filters, the picture appears orginal if I:
    Load onto my computer
    Put into a collage frame like Diptic
    Upload to Tumblr
    However, the filter stays on if I upload directly to facebook, instagram or twitter.
    Why is the filter disappearing and reverting to original in some places? Especially the computer, and I am using a mac. It seems annoying to take a photo with a filter just to lose it.
    Thanks!

    Hey everyone.
    This seems to be an intentional design choice by Apple.
    The photos in ios7 are "lossless" which means the filters are applied distinctly from the raw image file. When that image is shared, sometimes that filter disappears based on what device / os / program is viewing it. I am thinking of the filter as a "tag" that is interpreted (or not) by the viewing program / device. For instance, syncing to iPhoto loses the iOS7 filter. Emailing it to myself retains the filter as a flat picture and loses the original. Posting to Google+ loses the filter and I can reapply a Google+ filter, etc.
    http://www.cultofmac.com/231726/ios-7s-new-photo-filters-are-lossless-keeping-or iginal-photo-untouched/
    I (kinda) understand the "lossless" rationale, but don't agree with it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photos Keep Disappearing

    Hi,
    I've only recently started using iPhoto '08, and twice within the last week I've lost my library. As in, all the thumbnails are there, but when I click them I get that big exclamation point. So I'm now in the process of rebuilding the library again. I understand that this is because iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail and the actual picture. My question is, Why? Why has this happened twice now and what can I do so that it doesn't keep happening? I have hit "Show Package Contents" on the iPhoto library before, but I haven't actually moved or changed anything. I haven't messed around with anything. It worked last night, and now it doesn't work today. Very frustrating. Any idea why this is happening?

    The "!" problem happens when there's an interruption while iPhoto is writing to its database file, Library6.iPhoto. The tip at the end of my signature below describes an Automator workflow application that will copy that dB file to the Pictures folder. You can use it like you would the Save command in many other applications, often. iPhoto doesn't have to be closed to use it, only idle.
    If you then experience another "!" problem just replace the dB file inside the iPhoto Library with the latest copy (that's why it's important to use it frequently). Put it in the dock and click on it after every import or change to a slideshow, book, etc.
    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. 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Why does the download list keep emptying?

    I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
    Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
