Photo Album Sync

How can I sync my photo albums on the Cloud to my PC?

I understand you want to be able to see your photos in iCloud on your computer. I know it's nice to have access to your media on all your devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

The best way to proceed would be with iCloud photo library, you can read here:

    Ive never had this problem until the update to iOS 10 today.

  • Invisible photo albums

    Hi I have an iPad running iOS 9.3.5. I turned off to iCloud photo sharing, and I am not sync the iPad with a computer. I now have a photo album Photos (I had more before I tried to solve this problem), but when I put a picture in and then delete it, it says: "this photo will also be removed from 3 albums." As I said, I currently have 1 album. Any time that I remove the album, create a new and put a picture in, the number of albums in that it claims that my photos are rises, although there is a single visible on-screen. I don't know where these zombie albums are; Anyone know why this is happening? Thank you.

    Have you looked into the album recently deleted in the Photos App? When you delete photos they will reside in this album for 30 days unless you delete them from there immediately.

  • Remove photo albums

    A number of photos have been copied from my PC to an iPad via iTunes album. These were then copied on IPad in a new album for housekeeping purposes.  I now want to delete the first album on the iPad, but despite all kinds of advice, I can't find a work process.  Also in iTunes under "on my device" section there is no mention of any section of photos.

    Albums synced from a computer are deleted in the same way they had on the iPad, which is to deselect records/albums that you no longer want on the iPad via the Photos tab in iTunes (the same screen you used to synchronize them with the iPad) and Resync - remove all synchronized albums select and sync just an empty folder for example

    But the albums you have created directly on your iPad do not contain their own copies separate photos, they only pointers to them of their original albums - if you delete the synchronized album you will also delete these photos in your album created.

  • How can I subscribe to the photo albums of any other iCloud photo library?

    Greetings,

    I would like for the members of the family to be able to see the photos that I download on my iCloud photo library. Is it possible, if their phones are not on my account? In other words, is there a way for them to subscribe to these libraries of photos, so that when I download on iCloud, they automatically have these photos synced on their phone?

    Thank you

    John

    You need to set up the sharing of the family: family shares - Apple Support. You can then each have exhib photo albums and also have a shared family album.

  • Photo albums for iPhone synchronization

    Hi, I have a little problem... I always made photo albums and then synced via iTunes. But all of a sudden today, all the albums synced on my iPhone 6 was gone... he same photo stream.

    When I connected the phone and went to iTunes > and the photos selected, to check if I could choose the albums of synchronization, it is said that "iCloud Photos is on" and I don't have the possibility to choose albums I want to synchronize...

    Maybe I touched something in preferences or change something without knowing it, but does anyone know how to get to choose what photo albums to sync back?

    See picture for how my iTunes window now looks like...

    Here's my iCloud setup in preferences:

    And that's my iCloud on my iPhone:

    How can I fix? Thanks in advance :-)

    When you upgrade to iCloud photo library ON, you no longer control the albums must synchronize, because all the images will be synchronized.

    Same thing for my photo stream. This option could be duplicating what iCPL already.

    If you want to return to 'old', turn to iCloud library Photo OFF.

    I can't delete a photo album of the photos on my ipad 2.  The album was created in iphotos on my macbook air and synced from itunes.  All my photos on the macbook were imported to 'photos' and the album I want to remove my ipad does not exist on my macbook, not more.

  • I want to reset iPad photos so it clones my iMac Photo Album via a cable. Get weird iPad 1/2 albums I don't want. How?

    Something weird is going on my iPad 2 aerial, with the remains and partial albums. I have always used a direct connection cable USB-lightning to synchronize. My iMac photo album is perfectly formed, sorted, etc. I want to have pictures of my iPad to wipe all the photos, and then clone that I have on my pictures to the iMac. No muss, no fuss.

    Then go ahead, I want both of them to sync.

    I've tried enabling iPad iTunes > Photos > synchronize Photos (both TOGETHER and SELECTED (with all selected).) I end up getting half of the albums, they aren't right key group, bad photo, etc.

    I already copied all the pictures I want from my iPad to my iMac, so I'm fine with losing everything that my iPad Photos has, as long as it takes all my iMac photos and on the copy material.

    Best way to do this?

    Latest versions of iOS and El Capitan.

    Bonus question. iPad Photos wants to import many (many) photos to Photos of the iMac. These images already exist. If I select all import them, is smart enough to go, synchronization "is a dup so I don't bother. Or I'm going w / duplicates ruin my iMac Photos? Having several hundred pictures showing whenever I have connect my iPad and then view it on my iMac annoys Photos app.

    Thank you very much!

    I'm sure that you know--he put the photos in iTunes and then sync them to iPad - not sure from Photos - Mac directly, works

    That said, I think I know that photos are stored with a specific tag, and if you import the same image twice, it will be stored again with another tag creates a duplicate

    If possible try with just an image and see what happens

    Also, if you don't want pictures opens automatically as soon as the connection of the iPad - there is a box at the top left which you can uncheck

  • iPhone 5 will not be synchronized photo albums on iMac

    I have the latest version of iTunes, OS X and IOS, although this problem has occurred since a few years/versions of all.  Maybe since I downloaded Photos, iPhoto seemed OK.  When I create a photo album, it usually won't download or if it is downloaded, it will not sync when new photos are added to the album.  I say usually because about 10% of the time it will work.  I tried to reinstall iTune and remove all the photos from my phone, both with limited success only to go back again.  It's so frustrating because I use a digital SLR and do editing in Lightroom and I add products to my iPhone.  Currently, my phone is updated and it hangs on step 5 of 6, import photos.  It will stay like that until I walk away.  Sometimes thought that the library is not available.  All settings or patches would be so popular that I am at a loss and so frustrated...  Thank you in advance!

  • 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.
