Photo Library showing up on iPhone 3GS???

I've read through a few posts regarding deleting images, albums, etc and resyncing.
But the main issue I've been having is that through iPhoto I have a few albums
some with video that I'm able to sync over into my iPhone 3Gs but the Photo Library continues to show up and I can't seem to find a way to keep this from not syncing into my photo albums as it seems to show all the images I already have on the iPhone.

Can someone tell me how not to have the photo library showing up. It never did before.
I'm syncing through iPhoto, and also did through image capture.

much appreciate the feedback 🙂 ~A~

Still seeing if anyone can reply as to why a photo library shows up whenever I bring in images from iPhoto?
It basically duplicates what I'm bringing in to the Photos album?

Also I can't seem to sync videos from outside folders other than one at a time. And in doing so it seems that I lose my photo albums, as I don't want
duplicates of them.

I would greatly appreciate feedback on this post. 🙂

If I understand your question: This is the way Mac handles photos.

ALL photos synced to iphone can be accessed fro Photo Library. Those same photos can be accessed from the folder/album which you selected to sync to the iphone.

This is the way it is. You will ALWAYS have the photo library and it will ALWAYS contain all pics synced to iphone. There are not two copies of the pics, simply to ways to get to that pic. Much the same a s a book can be found in the library and in the fiction section.

Gotcha!
What I ended up doing was syncing through image capture and choosing the folder of which to sync the images from.
In image capture it doesn't duplicate the named folder, but brings it in as renamed as "photo library".

What's odd is that it doesn't import the folder as named.
Only when syncing in iPhoto does it keep the named folder, but also brings along the photo library.

So there's little means of flexibility when it comes to organizing images with the iPhone software.

Are there any 3rd party software programs that anyone is using to sort images on their iPhone? Curious

I like the way iPhoto organizes pictures but you can manage your photos on your iPhone manually as well.

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Choose your iPhone on the devices list. Go to the "Photos" tab.
Click "Choose folder..." on the dropdown menu (where iPhoto is selected by default).

Hope this helps.

Same problem...
Just want to have my pictures separated into different albums and not have them all come up in an entire photo library as well!

Even better would be to be able to sort your photos on your iPhone (move photos from folder to folder) without having to connect to your computer but this is definitely asking way to much from apple!
