| Jan 16, 2013 at 6:28 | comment | added | BoltClock | Or maybe I'm just not keen on restoring and setting up as new since there's some data stuck in there that I can't back up outside of iTunes/iCloud (e.g. non-iCloud app data, text messages) :) | |
| Jan 16, 2013 at 6:25 | comment | added | BoltClock | Xcode doesn't report anything amiss. I just tried syncing with iTunes on my PC, but I'm not sure if that helped any considering it's the same iTunes library (stored on a NAS), even though it's a different photo library since iPhoto obviously doesn't exist on my PC. That said, I got the "erase and sync" prompt that I usually do when removing the iPod Photo Cache, but when I return to iTunes on my Mac, it still says 0 photos in my iPhoto library there. I'm under the impression that it's more of an issue with my Mac than with my iOS device. | |

I've also connected to Xcode and watched for console messages once iTunes sync starts. The pictures get dumped, and then iOS builds a local database analogous to the iPhoto database on OS X. A bad filesystem or corruption there can also cause issues. Restoring the device and setting it up new usually fixes that if you don't have another computer. | |
| Jan 16, 2013 at 2:54 | comment | added | BoltClock | I wonder if a bad iPod Photo Cache is also responsible for my photos being displayed in the wrong order in my device's Photos app. | |
| Jan 16, 2013 at 2:45 | comment | added | BoltClock | That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't have any effect. | |
