Sorry if this isn't the best place to post this. I think it might be an iTunes issues, it might be an iPhoto issue.....but not knowing....to me its an iPhone issue.
I like to keep about 400 photos on my iPhone...sometimes its to show people neat things I have seen, but sometimes its just for me as a reminder of friends and family. I live in Canada and often times travel outside the country and often don't have a regular internet connection to my phone. So I would like these photos to actually be on my phone and not just in the cloud.
As best I understand it, every time I sync my iPhone it removes and the photos and puts them back on. I believe this because I have noticed that if the sync happens not to work(rare) or if iPhoto is updating itself the photos are no longer on my phone. At the very least I think that if iTunes cannot find the file, it does not put the photos on the phone. I understand the logic of this.....but my questions is, can I actually permanently put the photos on my phone? Or at the very least manually manage the photos.
I think for the most part pictures of my kids, my wedding, vacations I am going to want to keep there, so the whole process just seems incredibly tedious to have to constantly be pulling them from the file. To be honest its downright annoying that every now and than for whatever reason the photos don't make it back onto my phone.
Beyond all that it just makes the syncing process incredibly slow. My phone can take excess of 20 mins to sync and I believe that is due mostly to "uploading" the photos. While 400 photos might seem more than the average person keeps on their iPhone....the reality is it does not require that large amount of memory and it suprizes me that this process takes so long. (I can upload double that from my camera in less than 5 mins)
I should add my iPhoto isn't quite what it used to be. My computer still seems to be running fine.....but I do notice iPhoto has a lag to it. Funny enough it seems like once it gets going it works ok. Its almost like if I opened iPhoto and walked away for 10 mins there would be no problem, but if I upload it to use it right away it lags until it gets "warmed up". Just adding this in case that is a clue to where my problem is.
Sorry for the mini novel here. I just wanted to include all that I could in hopes of trying to solve this. I feel like its been over a year I have been struggling with this.
Perhaps there is a much better way in which case I'd appreciate the advice. I believe there is an app out there I can probably just upload all the photos too, but I'd really like to keep them in apple's native photo app....it does organize everything nicely
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
