Where are my Photo app albums?

[blackxacto]

For the first time I have subscribed to 2TB storage in the cloud. I turned on the iMac’s all data and desktop to sync with cloud including all devices.

Today I opened my 10.5” iPad Pro Photo app. Where have all my created photo albums gone? There are no albums after the update to cloud storage and iOS 12.

If I have changed to syncing all my devices to the cloud account which I newly subscribed, would that destroy my personally organized albums in Photo app?

Or did upgrading to iOS 12 destroy all my personally made albums in Photo app?

It’s taken 72 hours, but my albums showed up on my 10.5” iPad Pro. The Apple tech told me I had to start over again, wrong.

Over the past three days the 10.5” iPad Pro battery has been sitting near 5-10%, no matter how I would trade cables, electric outlets, rebooting, the reading never changed much.

Switching to iCloud syncing has really worked the 10.5” iPad Pro. I thought my battery was failing. The pad must have been constantly exchanging, downloading changes as it moved to cloud syncing. It didn’t help on the same day as cloud syncing began I upgraded to iOS 12. I think it needs a vacation.

I just realized this afternoon that most of my albums are missing. The pictures are still on my iPhone camera roll, but most of the albums are gone. I don't use iCloud storage, but sync to a computer instead. I guess maybe I have to sync them again for some reason? It was frustrating, as I was looking for a specific picture to show someone and needed to go to the proper album.

Somehow the photo albums you want synced are not. Check how you indicate what to sync, when you sync. You don’t say what you use, but figure it’s iTunes. Before the cloud syncing, my settings in syncing did not always stay the same.

Yes, I use iTunes, but I just realized where the albums are on my iPhone now. They're under From My Mac. Sorry, I didn't know that was a category now. Whew!
