When I sync my iPhone up to my Mac in the photos app, I always end up having two of the same photo for every photo on my iPhone, why?

One picture on the Mac and one on the phone, or two on the phone two on the Mac?

Sync, the way it should work is to make a copy of the photo that is on the phone on the computer as well.

Personally I like copying photos to the computer, external hard drive or online storage, and then deleting it off the phone. I do this because I know just like most people, I'm not looking at the hundreds of pictures on my phone every day (heck every year), so why keep them on the phone? If I want to view them, I can view them at any time I have a internet connection from my home computer or online storage, and any pictures I do want handy, I keep on my SD card or flash drives.

The HDR option in the phone is ON. It keeps the HDR and non-HDR versions of the captured image. Go to Settings: "Photos & Camera" and scroll down. Turn off "Keep normal photo" to keep only the HDR photo, or in the camera app, touch HDR and turn HDR off to keep only the non-HDR photo.

  • Why is my photo transfer from iPhone 7 to Mac missing many photos and how to I retrieve them? I had resriction codes I wanted to get rid of so I backed up my photos with the help of apple assistance, and AFTER I restored my phone to a new phone I noticed there's a big gap of missing photos. It isn't that it only saved old photos, because iPhoto has my most recent photo, but before that is missing 4 months of picture, please help me.
  • Why does my iPhone always start on the same song? Every time I play my music on my iPhone it starts at a song. But when I stop the music to go on about my day and am ready to listen to music again it'll be on the same song it started on before instead of the last song I actually listened to. Why does my phone do this?
  • Two of the same people in one photo? I'm not sure if it is an app but I think it's for the iPhone. But the effect is there's two of the same people in one photo and it looks real!
  • Two different computers, two different iTunes.can I use the same Apple ID? I have iTunes on my computer that I use for my iPhone, and my mon just got an iPod Touch and wants me to fill it for her. I'm going to use her computer to do this, which currently does not have iTunes. Once I download iTunes, can I use my own Apple ID to download songs and apps onto her iPod? Is it possible to do that without disturbing what's on my phone, or do I have to make a whole new iTunes account for her?
