For some reason today I had NO picasa web albums in my gallery. So I went into 'accounts & sync settings' mand clicked the 'sync picasa web albums' and it flashes for under a second with no error. I then check my gallery and there are still no picasa web albums. I tried a restart of the phone but that didn't help.
Anybody able to help me ?
Thanks
I had the same problem on stock ROM, but works flawless on CM7.

i had the sme problem. But i downloaded picasa tool from market and from there i synced it. After that, everything works perfectly.
I can use justpictires! To sync and view just like you can in picasatool. But I want them in my gallery not yet another picture viewer. Thanks for the help, at least it shows it's is androids own sync and not google picasa synce problem.

Have you tried clearing the data for your gallery under 'Manage Applications'?
One of my colleagues had a similar problem with calendar sync and she got it working after clearing the data.

Tried clearing the data of gallery, and still have NO picasa albums after installing and syncing picasa tool, Picasa tool shows my picasa web albums much like justpictures does, But I still don't see them in my gallery anymore
is there a setting in picasa tool i should be setting to make my gallery sync ?
I have similar problem. I tried clear all data for "Web album Picasa" and also for "Gallery" and now i have on Picasa tab only button for Adding Picasa account. But i have already Picasa under Google Sync Account. I'm able to sync Picasa. But still under Picasa tab see only this button. I tried click on this button and add my account again, but this isn't allowed, because i have already this Google account registered in my phone. That's terrible :-(

Before using android phone, I have a tons of photo on picasa web.
Now, use my gmail account in android phone, the photo on the picasa web will download to my phone， this is not my desire.
Is it possible to stop synchronize with picasa web ?
Sure thing.
Settings > Accounts and sync > in Manage accounts choose yours one > uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums"
Go to settings > Accounts and Sync then select your Google Account under 'Manage Accounts' and untick 'Sync Picasa Web Albums'
I disabled this option.
However , I cannot delete those downloaded photos in the gallery.
android doesn't provide the delete option for me.
Once you disable, the synced photos from Picasa should be gone automatically. Just did that with Captivate.

If you clear Gallery application cache, the picassa web album will gone
in the worse case scenario you can also login to your google picasa account to manually do it from there
not there!
sorry i feel like a bother, im running 2.2 on Samsung Captivate... and i go to the settings and accounts and syncs but theres no option to untick! :/
TRY THIS!!!
Settings>Accounts and Sync
Tap Activate auto-sync
Tap your Google Account
then uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums
back Tap Activate auto-sync for uncheck.
DONE
NOTE : After you do this method, Never tap Sync Picasa Web Albums forever
with this method you never lose your photos on picasa web.
Hey guys, sorry for necroing, but I don't wanna start a new thread. Thing is, my problem is the opposite. Picasa.is syncing photos from my phone to my account, therefore all photos I take OR download will show up in Picasa. I've already disabled sync.with picasa on my phone all along. What can I do?
Maybe you activated "Instant-Upload" in Google+ App, or something like that?
Yes in account turn off auto synch instant upload

Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

Hi there, I got 2 albums with 1 picture in each of them stuck in the Gallery and I can't get rid of them. I even wiped everything and installed the ROM again, I tried looking for the files with Astro, I couldn't find those damn pictures. And if I long-press I don't have a delete button.
Here is a picture of what those two look like : http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2705/screenshotdm.png
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance.
those look like Picasa album.
Go into Settings>Accounts and Sync> un tick the Picasa Sync for which ever account you have Picasa sync with.
Hah, that worked ! I never thought about that.
Thanks very buch bro !
guys im using picasa to sync some of my favourite photos (taken with my actual camera) to my phone
annoyingly though, the albums are synced in some seemingly random order which is really annoying as there are 30 of them right now and that number will only get bigger.
does anyone else use Picasa in the album on their phone and can suggest a fix?

fixed my own problem
for anyone who has same problem in future, it seems the htc gallery syncs picasa albums by when they were last UPDATED, and not when they were CREATED.
i guess it makes sense for those who have albums that they are constantly updating, but for me i make an album for an "event" and then thats it, so it doesnt work for me.
anyway - the fix was simply to go to picasa web albums and "update" your albums in the order you want them to appear in - so for me i updated the oldest first right through to the newest. the update can be "nothing" - just go to album properties, open it then save without making a change and it will still register as updated.
htc should give the option regarding which kind of sorting you want but oh well.
Thanks for the info !
Btw i have another problem with Picasa : i can't play any videos as there is no "play button" on them, they are only displayed as pictures...
Any advice ?
I can't even get picasa to work within the gallery. Maybe because I am on Google Apps account instead of a regular gmail account?
Ignore post

If you haven't figured it out already, first use the main menu, "Add online service", select Picasa. That'll open up the Google Accounts page, make sure Picasa is set to sync, then hit back button.
From there, you need to click on "My photos" and then on the left drop-down menu, select Albums, then you should get the option of picking Dropbox, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, and pictures on your phone. If you use the menu from the My Photos page, you can turn off services you don't want (I don't Facebook, I don't Flickr, for instance).
Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.
Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???
All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.
