So I’m rocking a Samsung Galaxy S III 4G<\/a>\"\" now and have been for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

I also have an Eye-Fi Pro X2 8 GB<\/a>\"\" hooked up to my Canon EOS Rebel T2i<\/a>\"\". All the kickass pictures I’ve been posting since January have been with that setup.<\/p>\n

Through the magic of computers and Al Gore’s Internet, this means that when I take a picture with my fancy pants camera, it shows up on my phone. The process is roughly this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take Picture.<\/li>\n
  2. When\/If near my home wifi network, the picture is automagically copied to my media server.<\/li>\n
  3. Once on my media server, they Eye-Fi software compresses the picture and uploads it to a Picasa web album, using the date the picture was taken to create a new album name.<\/li>\n
  4. The album is then synced to my phone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is all entirely automatic. I literally have to do nothing but take the picture and a couple of minutes later it’s on my phone. It’s very, very convenient.<\/p>\n

    Well, yesterday I went to show someone a picture of Casey (our Belgian Malinois) and none of my Picasa Web Albums were on my phone! Poof! Gone! TRAGEDY!<\/p>\n

    As it turns out, this was an easy fix that took me two days to find. There seems to be a rebranding of Picasa to Google Photos in the midst. When I updated the Google+ App the other day, it turned on “Sync Google Photos” under System Settings->Accounts and Sync->(your google account). That broke the Picasa sync, apparently.<\/p>\n

    I unchecked that guy. Then I unchecked and re-checked “Sync Picasa Web albums” and voila! Now I have my pretty pretty pictures back.<\/p>\n

    I’m putting this out there in the hopes that someone else who has this problem won’t have to go to the third page of a discussion board on the fifth page of google results in order to find this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
