Why does Iphone sync the photo library folder when it is not checked in itunes.

Hi,
I have any iPhone 4 running 4.3.3. iOS. I recently synced photos in iphoto 6 and selected the folders i wanted I wanted to sync in iTunes.  after the sync, the folders that i wanted to sync are there, but also the photo library folder is there.  I wish to not have the photo library folder there since it is just a duplication of what is in the other folders that i have asked iTunes to sync.   Any Suggestions??? 

Well, actually it is not a duplication. The Photos app stores photos the same way that iPhoto does. All photos synced to your phone are stored in the "Photo Library". The photos you see in the various albums/folders are really pointers to the actual photos which are in your photo library. They are not duplicates, and no you cannot get rid of the Photo Library.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    iPhoto is not designed to network with Windows machines. Does Windows understand Alias files? If so the hack detailed above should solve the problem.
    The library format is v6 was a hack too, it was never the intended use of the iPhoto Library Folder that it should be browsed by users or other software.
    Now they are in a proprietary format?
    No, it's a UNIX package file. Right-Click on the pkg file and choose 'Show Package Contents'... nothing hidden or proprietary there.
    Can I export all the photos in one shot to create a mirror of the library so other machine with iLife can see the photos?
    Why do that when you can use Sharing?
    If you want the other machine to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running. On the other machine, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in her source pane.
    Remember iPhoto must be running on both machines for this to work.
    You can, if you choose, export the lot into a folder, but this won't be updated when you add new pictures or make changes.
    If not, how do I go back to iLife 06?
    Have you got a v6 library untouched? If so, simply install v6 and use on the v6 library. If you don't have a v6 library, then you'll need to re-install v6 and then create a new library from scratch. v6 cannot read a v7 library.

  • Organizing with the photo library folder on hard drive

    I am a teacher, and I was told that I should NOT do any organizing within the actual iphoto library folder on the hard drive b/c this could corrupt my picture files. I do understand how to use iphoto itself as a photo organizer, but it is frustrating when trying to locate a picture for use in a Word document. Therefore, it made sense to me to organize the folder in the hard drive into the same categories as in my iphoto library. Is there an official ruling from Apple on this? Is this not a recommended practice? How in the world can anyone find the photo they need when you can't drag directly from the iphoto library? Thanks for any help you can give me!!

    If your photos are properly organized in folders and albums, locating a picture is a snap. In fact, that's precisely where iPhoto shines. I honestly don't understand your difficulty.

    Using the finder to muck around in the library is an invitation to bleeding ulcers. This forum has posts daily from users asking for help in undoing the damage they've done to the library. In both the iPhoto "Help" screens and in the Technical Articles available at this site you'll find the words: "If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."

    Well, let's say that I want a photo of Uncle Joe that was taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2004. I open iPhoto and open the 2004 folder. From inside "2004," I open the Thanksgiving album and look for Uncle Joe. When I find a pic that I like, I drag it to the desktop (or wherever else I want it) and a copy is made for me lickity split.

  • Newbie - Why is iPhoto copying files to Pictures folder when I said not to?

    I'm a total newbie to iPhoto. I literally just installed it for the first time ever about an hour ago, but I am well-versed in the ways of iTunes for example and its preferences the way it works with MP3s on an external drive, and how you can set a folder on an external drive to be the default music location, etc.
    I would have thought that iPhoto would have worked in a similar manner with photos.
    Here's the scenario: I keep all my photos (literally 1000's of them, and quite hi-res.) on a massive external drive, as my main computer's hard drive is (a) quite small, and (b) quite full as it is with other stuff.
    The problem I am having with iPhoto is that before I placed a single photo into its Library, I specifically set my Preferences, under the Advanced tab, to NOT copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to Library.
    But then when I placed a whole load of photos from my external drive into iPhoto, I noticed my available free space on my main computer's hard drive had decreased somewhat. So I had a look in Users > Brett > Pictures > iPhoto Library, and sure enough, duplicates of all the pictures I added to iPhoto from my external drive had been copied there too! Why?!?!
    And even more frustrating is that there appears to be TWO copies of each photo on my main hard drive: half in named sub-folders in a "Data" folder set to 360x270 (pretty massive if that's supposed to be a thumbnail!!) and then the other half, at FULL-resolution, in named sub-folders in a folder called "Modified" (not that I've modified any of them, but anyway).
    And with another copy on my external drive, I now have THREE copies of each photo! That's just ludicrous!!!
    I don't want iPhoto to keep "extra" copies of my photos. I just want ONE copy of each photo, and I want these photos to be stored on my external drive ONLY.
    How do I set it up to do this? Or can I not do this? Have I got the wrong idea of what iPhoto can and can't do?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Brett:
    If you look in the Originals folder and its subfolders you should see all alias files (very small in size) pointing to the source files on the external HD. In the Modified folder will be full sized files of any image file that was taken in the portrait orientation with a camera that has the auto-rotate capability. You can't get around it unless you rotate them before importing with a 3rd party application. Then in the Data folder are the thumbnail files. Those thumbnail files are for viewing up to a fairly good size before the original file kicks in when you use the slider bar in the thumbnail window. If you take your HD off line and then move that slider upward you can see how big you can get the thumbnail before it balks and gives you the "missing file" window of gray with a dotted rectangle.
    Having the edited version lets you revert back to the original for other editing that might require a different crop (for printing a different sized photo for instance.) If you want just one copy of each photo you'll need to go to an application like iView MediaPro.
    It may seem like a lot but when you think of what that library represents in full sized files on the external HD, you're really well off. My alias library of 27,000 files (29G in size) is only 1.6G on my boot drive. Even the professional applications like Aperture creates a second file when you edit and the thumbnail is either a separate file or embedded in the Aperature system for quick viewing without having to render the entire file.

  • How to un-sync the "Photo Library" album?

    Ok my iphone 4 16g is totally full & there is almost 6g of photos.  The problem seems to be with a folder titled "Photo Library" which has a double of every single photo already on the phone.
    How can I un-sync this folder so I can free up a ton of space?

    The photos in Photo Library are not duplicates of the photos in the albums (folders) synced from your phone to your computer.  The actual photos are in Photo Library; the albums only contain links to the photos in Photo Library.  The same is true for Camera Roll.  It doesn't contain duplicates of any albums you create on your phone either.  The actual photos are in Camera Roll and the albums only contain links to these photos.
    If you want to import the photos from Camera Roll to your computer and then delete them from your phone, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Syncing your phone doesn't touch the Camera Roll, except to include any photos there in the iPhone backup that is created/updated when you sync.

  • Why does TimeMachine say the disk is full when it isn't?

    Hello!
    A lot of my backups recently have been failing because TimeMachine says the disk is full, when that simply isn't true. As of right now, I have 1.18 TB available of
    2 TB. Why do my backups fail even when sufficient space is there?
    Thank you so much in advance!!!
    -Professor AR

    This main explanation is here.
    OS X Yosemite (10.10)
    This is pretty much equivalent to kids talking to each other on tin cans over a wet string.
    The TM in Yosemite is also exceedingly bug infested.
    The best solution for now..
    1. Use ethernet instead of wireless to do backups.
    2. If you upgrade installed Yosemite a clean install might improve it.
    3. Using local disk (USB drive plugged in for example) can be a huge improvement over networks and wireless.
    4. If you continued the backup from the old OS, wipe the TC disk and start over a new TM backup. (you can archive the old one if you want to maintain the history).
    5. Use an alternative to TM until apple get their act together.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper etc.

  • TS4022 Why does my icloud open in internet explorer when it is not my main browser?

    Why does icloud open in internet explorer when I use Google as my main browser? I did something to make it happen and can't find how to change it back.

    Hey man I was having the same problem and I found the answer.... Im going to put the steps you have to follow.
    1.Open www.icloud.com on your Internet Explorer and if you're signed in you have to sign out.
    2. Open www.icould.com on your Google Chrome and then sign in and click on the box that says "stay signed in" or something like that.
    3. Try to open icloud the normal way you do it and it has to open on Chrome.
    This worked for me, hopefully it works for you man, let me know.

  • HT1386 Why does iphone sync not merge data?

    Data from iCal goes from Mac to iPhone but not the other way. This is a new phenomenon as it has always worked in the past, so I am certain that I set it up to merge originally, but I don't know how to check that it hasn't been reset somehow nor how to correct it. Help welcome before I have to start entering stuff manually twice.
    Thanks

    Then you may have to reset your sync services folder as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627.  (Although this article refers to MobileMe, it also applys to syncing devices such as you phone.).  This erases your sync history (but not your data), and your mac will see your next sync as your first ever so you should get a merge or replace prompt for calendars and contacts when you sync.  Be careful about selecting merge or you may get duplicates.  Also, you will have to reset your iTunes sync settings as discussed at the bottom of this guide.  Finally, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" so that you can connect your phone and reset your sync settings prior to syncing your phone.

  • Why does Calendar sync with Google on a new user, but not my original one?

    I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro that came running Mountain Lion out of the box. I have used Mail and Messages with my various Google accounts since I purchased it, but never Calendar. When I checked the Calendar option all I got was the header for where the calendars should be.
    I cannot see any calendars on that account, create/view/edit events, or anything. My sync settings on the Google side are just fine as it works on other devices. Last night I took it a step further and created a new user account on my laptop and first thing I did was connect my Google account. Everything worked.
    I have tried deleting the Calendar cache files, preferences, accounts, and pretty much anything short of the app itself. I even went ahead and cleared out my Keychain of anything relating to that account or Google in general. As a last ditch effort, I did a full clean up and reset of the SyncServices system.
    Short of painstakingly comparing the two accounts I have no idea what could be causing this problem. There are no user specific applications or extensions running on my machine, and I've performed no "under the hood" tweaks to Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking for a cause? I haven't found anything like this problem online yet, and I definitely don't want to migrate my stuff to a new account.
    Key points:
    Google Calendars do not sync at all to my primary user account.
    I've tried multiple Google accounts.
    Only a new user account in Mountain Lion is able to connect.
    All SyncServices files and all Calendar files have been wiped and recreated to no effect.

  • I can find the extensions that I downloaded in the proper Library folder but they do not show up in PS CC2014

    I downloaded some extensions and they are placed in the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions:  see the figure:
    but when I go to PS CC2014 and click on Extensions this is what I get:
    If I go back to the Extension Manager it says they are installed and do I want to delete them and reinstall.  I tried that but nothing happened.
    Can someone help?

    1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
    2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

  • Keying and Rendering in Premiere Pro - Why does it cut the frame in half when I render?

    I am keying a clip in Adobe Premiere and layering it over another clip. Looks great when I play back in the timelime but for some reason when I render the clip the bottom half of the frame goes missing as if I have cropped it out. If I then edit the clip in any way it comes back but of course,it's then un-rendered. I can't figure out why this happens. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

    Exactly what version of PPro do you have?
    CC7.2 has a bug that sounds like what you're reporting. It was fixed in 7.2.1.
    If you're on PPRO 7.2.1--and you're seeing this problem in clips encoded by AME--then try disabling the option "Enable native Premiere Pro sequence import" on the General tab of AME's preferences dialog. I don't know for a fact that this will resolve the problem, but it's a pretty good bet.

  • Why does Firefox change the filenames of pdfs when it opens them? They go from normal names to 8-digit random letter/number sequences

    When I click to open a PDF from Firefox it behaves very strangely. Instead of opening the PDF with its original filename (say for example: Report_on_the_weather.pdf) it changes the file name on opening. They open up with random 8-digit filenames (for example 5918Bd01.pdf). It does this for all PDF files. I would like to stop this behabviour. Any ideas?
    My configuration:
    Firefox 4
    Windows XP
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Standard (not the Reader, the full standard application)

    cor-el, thanks for responding. As it turns out the machine was compromised, probably due to the Java upgade from 6.x to the supposedly current 7.x version. I suspect one of the 'always open' tabs in my profile was aimed at a site that had been compromised to exploit the java vulnerability that has not apparently been fixed yet.
    After removing Java, a current Panda AV scan detected three bad jar files. Further testing with MSCONFIG found a file in startup that did not belong, turns out to be a new exploit with very little coverage on virustotal (neither Panda nor McAfee detected it as malware) but as soon as it was taken out of the startup, Firefox started working perfectly.
    Firefox was the parakeet in the cave, tipping over to let me know something was wrong.
    The machine is in quarantine until a much more complete analysis is done. We may still rebuild it to be certain.
    I'm giving you a 'solved' on this because the windows safe mode boot pointed the way to determining the problem.

  • Why does my printer show up as "busy" when it's not?

    The situation is this: I set up my HP Laserjet 1200 via AirPort and everything worked fine until I started printing a pdf document from a client. As it was processing, I noticed that it was set up for US Letter paper instead of A4 (my default). So I went into the printer queue and deleted the print job. I also briefly turned my printer off and then on again, because it was still flashing; trying to print the deleted job. Then I changed the page setup in the document, and pressed "print" again. The printer icon started jumping up and down, and I was told in an error message that it could not connect to the printer: it was busy. It was not!
    I have temporarily connected my printer back to my iMac, but would like to have it working through AirPort instead, so any help would be much appreciated!

    If it's the same on the iPod, as it is on the iPhone, then you probably have "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi" enabled:
    Click on your iPod under "Devices" in iTunes and check the "General" tab.
