Why does it say I have more photos on my iPhone than I really do?

When I back up my phone I apparently have over 1800 photos and over 4GB being used in photos. However, my photo app has only 180 picture in the album and photo stream combined. How do I find and delete the extra 1700 photos?

I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
Hope this works for you

Itunes says that I have more photos on my Iphone than I actually do, please help

I'm not sure why but the Itunes bar at the bottom is really full for my phone. It says that I have thousands of photos on my phone even though I have cleared all of them off to try to save space.
Please help,
Joe

I had this problem, too.
I have fixed it. It cost me 99 cents.
My phone said I had 247 photos/videos. Itunes said I had 1700+. Both said that Photos & Video were taking up 10.8 GB of storage.
On my phone, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan
I selected the 20GB plan for $0.99 a month
Then, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Photos
I enabled My Photo Stream (slider to the right/green)
Then, I got on WiFi. I don't know how long it took, certainly not long enough to upload gigabytes of data, but I saw that my Photos & Camera app was using a far more reasonable amount of storage (1.3 GB, rather than 10.8 GB). I checked this by going to
Settings --> General --> Usage --> Manage Storage
Because I don't want the 20GB iCloud plan, I went back to
Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan --> Downgrade Options (at the bottom)
... and I selected the 5 GB Free plan again.
Now for a little rant.
I am very unhappy that I had to give Apple one thin dime to have this fixed. After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can barely use any storage on my phone, I had to pay to fix it. Ridiculous.
I still enjoy using Apple products, but I enjoy using them less and less over time. Not only is every release of iTunes less usable than the previous one, the last one wouldn't even install on my machine. That was about another six hours lost trying to figure out the problem.
I'm not sure if this is a first world problem. Ugh! My life is so hard!

ITunes says I have more storage on my iPhone than I actually do

After syncing my iPhone 5c in the summery it shows that I have 3GB of available storage. When I look at the usage on my actual phone it tells me I only have 1.5 GB of free space. I've cleaned out all of the documents and data that I can, reset my phone, and resynced it but nothing changed. How do I get that 1.5 GB back?
I know it doesn't seem like much but I only have a 16GB phone and need every little bit I can get for work.

HT5312 Why does it say I have to wait eight hours until I can buy something

Why does it say I have to wait eight hours before I can buy something???

Have you typed in the wrong answers to your questions ? That can result in a 8 hour block.
If you have a rescue email address on your account as described on the page that you posted from then you can use the steps half-way down that page to reset them.
If don't have one (you won't be able to add one, or change it, until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Why does it say I have no service when I connect my Ipad to my comupter that has internet thru an air card

Why does it say I have no service when I connect my Ipad 2 to my comupter with internet thru an aircard. First time user.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens. Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

Why does iTunes say I have two different total numbers of movies?

On the sidebar, it lists 371 Movies. When I'm in Movies with everything listed, the number at the bottom next to total number of hours is 372 Movies. 372 Movies is the correct number of movies. I have all of those movies also loaded into iTunes on my laptop running 10.7. These are all movies which are hosted locally on a hard drive; none of them are iCloud downloads or matches. So why does it think I have 1 less movie on the side bar? Is there a way to find out if one particular film hasn't loaded properly or can't be read for some reason? Thanks

The sidebar lists # of unplayed (not completed) items.
They should have a blue dot (not played) or half blue dot (started but not completed) next to the name.

ITunes saying I have more songs on my iPod than I actually do. Help!

I currently have a good amount of music on my iPod touch and I still have over 10gb left. But when I try to synced up my iPod to the laptop, iTunes won't complete the sync, saying I have several thousand more songs on my iPod than I really do. And then it goes on to tell me that I need 11gb more to finish the sync!
What's happening? It was working and syncing perfectly fine yesterday.

on iTunes, select your device and check the songs/albums you would like to sync with it.Do the same with your another device. This should sync the selected songs/albums only for that device.

Why does itunes say i have over 700 photos on my phone but i really only have about 200?

I have a 4S running 8.1.1 and on itunes when i connect my phone it says i have 700+ pictures when in reality by camera roll has less than 200. I am connected to ICloud but I turned off all settings in the "Photos" section of the Icloud settings. I did sync all my photos that are on my phone on to IPhoto on my computer. Does ITunes count the pictures on IPhoto on my computer and my Camera roll to make over 700+ photos? That is the best guess i have and i think is unlikely. Help!

Why does my app Documents have my photos in it?all of a sudden? I did not put them there! I'd like to delete them out of documents, but it will not let me, the app I mean? How am I delete the photos out of it?

HHi, I'm new here, but just this morning, I opened the app documents to load some information for study purposes. I saw a folder called photo library. Opened and saw all my photos in it. I did not place them in it. The app functions do not permit me to delete them. I have struggled with this all morning, and find myself here. I also ask a few friends who upon checking found a similar thing on their. IPads also. What we want to know is.........Hiw can we delete the photos out of the app Documents?
WHen we we got to lookin into it, we have found that we probably got this auto done with the new sharing feature and we will have to turn off photo share, which it says will delete all photos from iPad. Is this my only option?

Well you could have trashed your Silverlight install in some way.
That's what it looks like, but I'm not sure how, or how to fix it. I spent ages trying to get all the SL stuff installed, and had a lot of problems, mainly because of the issue with VS2010 SP1.
Does your app rely on a certificate though?
I wonder whether it's an issue with that.
It does, although I'm not sure why that would cause this problem.
Also, I get the same problem when running in VS, and if it were a certificate problem, I wouldn't expect that, as (I think) certificates aren't used when running in VS. Could be wrong on that, so if you know better, please correct me.
You realise, by the way, that Google have sety npapi disabled by default this month?

Ho hum, wonderful eh? Don't know what mine showed before, but I've got SL working in Chrome now, so it's academic (until September of course)
Hope that helps.
Sadly, I don't think it does. I still get this error, whether running in VS, or running the production app. I really need to work out how to fix my SL install without having to uninstall and reinstall all of it yet again. I think that's the crux of the problem.
Thanks very much for the reply. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Why does iCloud say I have no storage?

iCloud says I have no storage

It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

I have more contacts on my iPhone than Outlook

I have 479 contacts on my iPhone (some are duplicates) and 450 in my Outlook contacts. I would very much like the 29 that are on my iPhone to be in Outlook. I have sync'd multiple times and cannot seem to resolve this. I've noticed the "Replace information on this iPhone" option; but that's going the wrong direction.
Any suggestions?

Hey toddpay!

My music will not sync to my iPhone from iTunes. Why does it say I need more space?

My iPhone and iTunes are all synced up to date as of June 7th. I went to sync my music library. I checked to only sync my selected songs (approximately 1200). It worked fine earlier this week before I updated iTunes. I went to add another 10-20 songs today, and it didn't work. It said I need an additional 4.77 GB of data. I have 2 GB available still on my 16 GB phone, which is more than enough for the 10-20 songs. I updated iTunes after this occurred but I still have the same problem. When I check my music on my phone, no playlists show up but y music and artists are the same as before, minus the new music i added to my iTunes. On a side note, the extra space it's saying I need is about the size of the current music on my phone; it seems to be asking to sync it twice?

Hey there 2Chainz,
It sounds like youre being prompted that there is not enough space. I would use the following article to help resolve the issue named:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Why does Acrobat Pro 9 have more bells and whistles than Acrobat Pro XI?

I have a Power Mac with Acrobat Pro 9 and it has more menus with more functions than the Acrobat Pro XI on my iMac.
I'm supposed to be migrating to the iMac and giving the Power Mac to some co-workers, but I need the functions in Acrobat 9 that I don't see in XI.
In 9 I have these menu items: File, Edit, View, Document, Comments, Forms, Tools, Advanced, Window and Help.
In XI I have: File, Edit, View, FusionPro, Window and Help.
I know FusionPro is a 3rd party plug-in.
Do I have to do something to make them appear? Has Adobe taken them out? Did they move them?
Primarily I'm interested in:
Document > Crop Pages function
Tools > Advanced Editing functions
Advanced > Print Production functions
BTW, I don't know if this is an installation issue or not, but this seemed like the most likely forum.

In XI, all of the tools are in the RHP (right-hand panel) under tools/comments. Some tools require you to right click on the tools settings by the tools selector to allow other tools to be displayed. These tools are no longer given on the menu bar and has been the change in the Acrobat UI structure. A few tools are at times removed, but the ones you mentioned are still there.
