deleted photo albums are reproduced after every ios update

After every ios update and a reboot there is old on my iphone and ipad photo albums that I deleted a long time ago (I created these albums if you use iphoto, but I deleted them on my mac after I went to photos). To my knowledge, there is therefore no these albums on my mac more. The app iphoto and iphoto library have been entirely removed from my Mac. So, where did they come from? I do not use icloud photo sync or something. Just sync albums selected with my devices via itunes.

I found a method to remove unwanted albums of my devices first unchecking an album in itunes and then sync again. But on the next update, as if by magic they reappear. Anyone an idea what to do, then these ghost albums don't happen again after my next update?

Hello there, hkr1234.

It seems you see sync photo albums on your iOS device that you removed from your iPhoto and Photos for the libraries of Mac. One of the possible reasons for the behavior you see, it's the folder iPod Photo Cache is created when you synchronize your phone always contains the information for these photos. The following Knowledge Base article proposes in-depth measures to remove this folder, in effect, resetting so that it is created again the next time that you sync photos to your device.

On the folder for Cache Photo iPod

Delete this folder does not remove the original images in your library, and the file will be recreated the next time you sync photos with your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

The location of this folder depends on the synchronization options you select in iTunes. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the menu synchronize Photos, it will create a folder iPod Photo Cache (and the previous record will remain).

Photos, iPhoto or Aperture

If you're syncing from a photo, iPhoto or Aperture library, follow the steps below to find the folder iPod Photo Cache in its default location:

  1. From the Finder, choose go > home of the bar menu at the top of your computer screen. If you have moved your library of Photos, iPhoto library or Aperture library to a different location, go to this location.
  2. Open the pictures folder and locate the library of Photos, iPhoto or Aperture Library library file.
  3. Control - or right click the file, and then choose view the contents of the Package on the shortcut menu.
  4. In the window that opens, click on and drag the cover Photo iPod folder to the trash.
    Don't delete or change any other file in the library package. Remove or modify other files can result in loss of data.
  5. Close the window.

{...}

A folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or 10

The iPod Photo Cache will be in the folder you selected to synchronize with.

To learn more

  • The Cache Photo iPod folder may be larger than the size of the photos being synchronized.
  • The iPod Photo Cache size can vary depending on the device is synchronized. A device of the higher resolution, more iPod Photo Cache will be.
  • If you are synchronizing with multiple devices, your iPod Cache can contain several optimizations of the same images.

    Save your photos on external hard drive, you have two options - just save the INDIVIDUAL photos or save the photo library.

    It would be better to copy your photo library on disk. This way you will save the versions published with all the metadata that you added and the original images in the quality is.

    If you export photos you need to make your choice, if you want to export the edited versions or the original versions, or both.

    • To save the library, do it just from the pictures on the external drive folder.
    • To save the individual photos, open one of your albums, then select all photos with ⌘A, then use the command "file > export > export... photos ' and select one a high-quality format t the original size. Do this for all the photos. Check if the export went well, before you delete photos from the library.  To remove photos from an album using the ⌘⌫ key combination command + DELETE.

    Empty the recently deleted album only after that you convinced yourself that the exported photos are OK and you have a backup.

  • Deleted photo album file does not open

    I accidentally deleted my original photo album when exporting photos from my USB. I thought that I had lost the pictures. I plugged the usb again and the folder of photos was in the trash, so I dragged. I tried opening the file and he "quit unexpectedly" How do I fix? I lost more than 900 photos. What should I do?

    the folder of photos was in the trash, so I dragged.

    What do you mean by "Original Photo Album" or "pictures folder"?  Your photo library?

    If you got to the photo of the trash library, try to fix it.  See this link: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht6be18f93

  • How can I identify the photo albums are assigned to in Photos.

    When I look at a picture in the stack of Photos or any album, I would like to be able to identify the albums that he has been assigned.  Does anyone know how to do?  Please understand that I know how to use a smart album to find unassigned photos, but how get you assigned to the photo albums?

    And explanation as to why: this is a very important tool for me to remain consistent in 'depot' photos on and be able to verify that they are filed correctly.  And it might be a surprise to Apple, but I don't think in terms of date/time/gps when using my pictures program.  Those are some boundaries meaningless for me, even though they may be useful for school of information indicators in the metadata.  Over the years, many photos were always is received by mail or scanned and do not have a suitable spot attached date or gps.   Faces is useful, but look at a 5 k photos of 'mother' without knowing what album they are, is not useful.

    Please understand that I know how to use a smart album to find unassigned photos, but how get you assigned to the photo albums?

    Photos does not support this. You can't get a list of standards albums to that picture has been assigned.

    If you ask for a photo, albums photo is in it, only use smart albums based on keywords. You can see the keywords in the Info Panel for a photo and how directly, including smart albums it will contain.

    To find all the albums of standards in that photo is you will want to program an Apple Script.

  • Impossible to activate my iPad after latest IOS update via iTunes being installed

    I hooked up my iPad to my MacBook Air and iTunes 2 triggered an IOS update to the latest version. However after the installation was completed that the Message appears "Unable to activate your iPad" and further down, he States "...". After temporarily because the unavailability of the activation server. If the problem is after re - try try to connect to iTunes for activation» During the re-login to iTunes message appears «unable to recognize your iPad» It seems that one is in a vicious circle because we're unable to get the current ipad.

    Any help?

    It is a known problem/bug.

    Apple, I believe, recognize this problem with the activation of the difficulties of server with some iPad models and have stated that they are working on this issue and it will be resolved as soon as possible.

  • After the IOS update, get "itunes can not connet to."

    After IOS update, get "iTunes can not connect to the iPhone because of an invalid response by the device" help?

  • Siri now unable to identify songs on iPhone 6 after recent iOS updated

    I use my iPhone to listen to music while I switch, using the bluetooth connection.  Been doing this for years and it's very convenient.   While a song is being played, I could hold the home button to launch Siri and ask, "what song is this?  Siri told me the name of the song and the artist.  Big star and stop me from trying to read the screen of the phone while driving.  After the recent update, Siri now says: "Sorry, I can't identify the music when you're connected to Bluetooth."   Why not?? He worked for several years and now suddenly stopped working after the recent update.  Please fix this!

    I have the same problem and I haven't even installed SHAZAM.  When it was installed, I had this problem so I removed the Shazam application. Now after the last updated iOS to level, Siri "locally plays" identification of song has stopped working again. SHAZAM app is not yet installed, but Siri has lost a lot of use to me.

    IT seems trivial to check to see if the music player plays music and report what he is playing. If the music player is not in the list, then listen to external sounds to identify what's playing.

    The current approach fails all sorts of criteria of respect for the user: it's unexpected behavior, it is not easy to use and it is not an intuitive feature. It is also an unnecessary restriction of very useful behavior. I rarely use the Siri song identification function for something else.

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone after them have been imported into iPhoto library?

    Hello!

    It is at this time of the year when you wanted to take pictures of summer vacation right on your iphone, but you found out that you have less than 500 MB of memory space. Well, it's happened to me.

    I imported my iPhone on my Macbook iPhoto pictures, and I would like to delete these photos on my iPhone. I would like to know if I could do it in iPhoto or iTunes.

    In addition, it would be possible for me to re - upload photos from iPhoto to my iPhone?

    Kind regards

    TL

    Assuming you are using iPhoto and not the new Photos.app, Yes.

    You can bulk delete via Capture of Image (in the Applications folder)

    Create a picture Album that you want on the phone and you can share them on the phone via iTunes.

    Similar goods are available with Photos.app and photo library to iCloud, but work in different ways.
