Why is my iPad missing photos?

I've got an original 16GB Wifi iPad and use it for internet access/emailing and storing my 19,000 photos that I've divided into 100+ folders labelled alphabetically; Andrew's party, Bryan's house, CHristmas 2010 etc etc. Up until recently all has been OK, but recently after syncing, a lot of the folders are missing; approximately a third. They show the folders with the titles I've given them, but the ones in question are black and when I click on them, they say 'There are no photos in this folder'. I've checked in iPhoto on my iMac for the missing folders on my iPad and they're stil in iPhoto. I then decided to delete all the photos on my iPad and resync them back. I did this and it now only syncs 723 back to the iPad!
I've recently been syncing via Wifi after the upgrade, so has this got anything to do with it? I've tried doing the sync via cable as I always used to, but that doesn't make any difference.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Simon.

This could well be a problem due to the volume of photos you are syncing. There is another lengthy thread started within the last 10 days where another poster is having the same problem. It might be worth reading. Do a search for it as I may not have the time just now.

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

    Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

    I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar).  If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

  • Sometimes after creating an event folder on iPhoto, all my pictures in that event will be gone the next time I open iPhoto. Why is this happening? Is there a way to retrieve the missing photos?

    Sometimes after creating an event folder on iPhoto, all my pictures in that event will be gone the next time I open iPhoto. Why is this happening? Is there a way to retrieve the missing photos?
    Most events I make on iphoto will still be there the next time I open iPhoto, while other event FOLDERS will be there, but pictures in it gone.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why are my ipad photos blurry

    Why are my ipad photos blurry

    They were probably taken in low light, the brighter the lighting the better the photo. Lower light levels require the shutter to be open longer which require the camera to be held steady for a longer period of time. If you move the photo is blurred. So you will have to be more steady when taking the photo indoors or you will get blurring.
    The same is true for all cameras and why they have a flash. More expensive cameras with better lenses and larger sensors will work better in lower light, but still can require a tripod to minimize any movement which can cause blurring.

    I don't know cause Apple decided for me.
    As does Microsoft anytime that they release a new update that is no longer compatible with the old PC hardware.
    I would hope that Microsoft and Apple would both know what operating systems will run on the hardware that is produced for them.
    I would also hope that Microsoft and Apple know better than you do as to what would work on their devices, tablets, computers, phones .... How much time and money have you put into research and development on the iPad?

  • Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
    Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

    Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
    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.

  • Missing photos in Photos on ipad 2

    I have an iPhoto library of 7500 pics stored in the shared folder on my imac so that my wife's iphone 4 and my new ipad 2 can both access them from our separate accounts. Both the devices are now running iOS5. ALL of the photos appear in iPhoto and on the iphone but there are many images that don't appear on my ipad - they just show as empty rectangles. Seven albums were totally missing. I've tried numerous things including:
    I updated the ipad to the latest OS (iOS5) - the 7 albums appeared but were all empty.
    I did some research then repaired and rebuilt the iphoto library - some of the missing photos appeared but some existing photos in other albums disappeared!
    I dumped the ipod photo cache (in iphoto folder) - no difference.
    I edited the missing images within iPhoto - This had a limited degree of success as many of the images reappeared (but not all), but I have noticed a factor that links the problem pics, they were all taken in raw on my relatively new Nikon D90. I didn't import them as raw, I converted them to jpeg in photoshop first, and they all show fine in iPhoto and the iPhone, but not the iPad!
    Ideas anyone?

    I've done some more testing, and it would appear that iPhoto is at least partly to blame, I have to modify the imported images in some way in iPhoto before the ipad will recognise them, but even with these mods, they're still not all importing!
