iPhoto (OSX) fails to replicate user-created albums from the cameraroll on ios5 device (itouch3G)

is this a limitation of an old device? —

or is it a glitch in the software?

note: for sake of comparison, i used phoneview to inspect the contents of the ipod.

On the first scan by PV, i noticed that the albums+photostream were properly listed 🙂

But on a subsequent second scan (re-attachming the ipod later on), suddenly even PV also lost any reference to the albumbs! (or the Photostream) 😟

ps: a (small?) variable in this equation is that —due to a breakdown in my login keychain being fubar'd— prevented me from logging-in to my icloud account (and hence couldnt activate photostreaming) ... but i cant see how this 'network' issue should have any bearing upon how the data in a local device is or is not rendered!

thanx for the feedback.

cheers: david
