Why is the number of photos in the Photos app different than the number of photos in iPhoto on the Mac?

I have an iPhone 4S and a MacBook Air. On the MacBook Air, in iPhoto, the number of photos is 3,563 (this is the number that appears next to the word Photos under library in the left hand pane). When I synch my phone with iTunes, I've selected Synch Photos from iPhoto and the number that follows that line is 3,546 photos. I have checked All Photos, albums, Events, and Faces.
On my iPhone under Settings, General, About, there are 4,293 Photos shown (the Camera Roll is empty).
I don't understand why these three numbers are not identical. Anyone know?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What mode are you in, i.e. Events, Photos?
If it's the Photos mode the number at the bottom will represent the number of photos displayed in that mode or the number of photos selected in that mode. The number will match the number next to the photos mode only when there are no photos in that mode that are selected. 
If you click on the Events icon and then back on the photos icon the numbers should match.

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

    I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens.  I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

    iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens.  I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • Is it possible to install a consumer app for mass usage that would alter the ios device proxy settings? Over the air not supervised. Can an app company use an MDM server to do this if the customer consents?

    HI Chris,
    Thanks for taking the time to reply.
    Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
    Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
    Thanks

  • I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?

    I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space

  • Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

    Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
    Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
    I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

  • I try and save a photo (from Path) and it downloads but does not download (save) in iPhoto. The iPad I am using is new, I could perform this task on my old iPad. Why the difference?

    I cannot save a photo on my new iPad (from Path) to iPhoto. The phot appears to download but then does not appear in iPhoto. I can perform the same task with my old iPad. I can also save an emailed photo to iPhoto. Thanks

    Right click on the photo in Safari and use the add photo to iPhoto option - if that is not there then your only choice is to save to disk and then import to iPhoto

  • Why is the font Garamond Premier Pro bought through Adobe different than the website?

    Hello,
    I really liked the font from Adobe, Garamond Premier Pro and I purchased it, hoping to get great documents but unfortunately, it does not look crisp even if I put the size at 14, put it in bold... It looks completely different than the demo and I don't know why it looks the way it does.
    I've attached a Word document which represent the way it looks. Hopefully you will see what I mean.
    Thank you,
    Nancie Bolduc

    fbuerg,
    You are welcome. Glad my good fortune was helpful to you.

  • HT1296 Why are the apps in my itunes app different than those displayed on my phone?

    The visual image of my iphone's apps in the itunes software shows a lot of apps that I have deleted.  How do I make itunes and my phone look the same?  I have synced them....what gives?

    Are you looking at the purchased tab? The purchased tab shows all the Apps you have ever purchased (including Apps you've uninstalled/deleted). You can ignore them and look at the Apps on your iPhone when you plug in your iTunes.
    The Apps you've deleted are still associated with your iTunes account.

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

  • How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    Why? Because something is wrong.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Just brought a new 5s. Went home and backed up my 4s and when I plugged in the new phone it identifies it as a different devise, it won't sync it to replicate the old phone.

    I just brought a new 5s. I went home and backed up my old 4s. When I plugged in the new devise and hit sync, it took about 5 seconds. It appears as a second devise and isn't updating the old phone to the new devise. I phoned Apple Support and they want to charge me $120 to complete the request, very annoyed as this should just be standard when you get a new devise. All I want to do is take all the old information from my old phone, and put it on my new one.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    I suggest you start your iPhone 5S setup over from the very beginning.
    Do that by erasing the entire contents of your iPhone 5S.  Do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.  That will, in fact, erase your iPhone 5S.  You will then start with the "Welcome" screen.  Enter your WiFi and Apple ID information.  You will then be given the opportunity to set up as new or to set up using the iPhone 4S.  That is what you are looking for.
