there are some folders in my gallery that i cannot open nor delete and it shows that there are no pics in them but still take up like 83 mb. This started happening the first time i connected my phone to the computer and when i reconnect it, the folders dissapear until i take a pictur then all three folders reappear. here is what it looks like
Those are shared folders from other devices connected to the same wifi router.

Access your Gmail account from your PC (or even the browser on the desktop settings). Go into settings and disable or delete Picasa from there.

I had this same problem with my HD2 and never found a solution i thought this would've been resolved with the GS2 unless im doing something wrong here,basically when i click on my Gmail app and delete messages and later on that evening on my laptop not all the messages are deleted, with my HD2 none of them used to delete when i tried doing it on the phone yet when i delete them on my laptop they delete ok, with the GS2 i deleted 30+ emails earlier ive just checked my laptop and 12 of the same emails i "deleted" are still there, does anyone know what's going on here?
Also why do i always have to "click to view pictures" on the Gmail app?
Is anyone else having this problem with the Gmail app?
Damn im amazed im the only one having this problem usually there's at least a couple of people in the XDA community with a similar issue, it's a bit annoying having to delete emails again,and also having to click on "show pictures" in order to view the images is a bit annoying too.
I don't delete, but I do label every email, and then archive. I quite often find messages re-appear after archiving, showing as unread, even though no new messages have appeared inside the thread.
This occurred on my old Nokia 5800, it actually seems to happen less on my SGS2.
Thanks for your response, i would just like to be able to delete the emails after ive looked at them on my phone and not have to delete them again on my laptop, sometimes the emails do delete out of 30 emails i deleted 2 days ago 12 were still there when i checked a few hours later that evening, yet this morning i deleted about 15 emails on my GS2 yet when i checked on my laptop they were still there showing as unread, i don'tu nderstand this.
Surely i cant be the only one having this issue?
I delete emails a lot using the Gmail app and I've never noticed this problem - weird.

I had the same problem with my HD2 running Android, on the HD2 forums last year someone posted a fix for this before but it only worked for some people and unfortunately i wasn't one of them.
I'm thinking will i ditch the Gmail app altogether and just use m.google.com in X-Xcope browser i have tried deleteing emails via m.google.com before and they do delete, the Gmail app though is handy and something i use a lot.
check your account settings. Make sure delete from server is activated/checked.

You don't have that option in the gmail app.
Does anyone know if i can create a shortcut for my Gmail on the phone i have the m.gmail.com saved in my browser (X-Scope) but i cant see any function for copying a shortcut to my main screen on phone, ive just deleted some emails in the m.gmail.com in X-Scope and checked Gmail on my laptop and the emails are gone so there's absolutely no doubt there is something amiss here with the Gmail app so im looking to delete it but id prefer to have a shortcut of Gmail on my phones main screen.
cheers
Also on the m.gmail.com you don't have to click on "show pictures" every time cos the pictures just show automatically.

Long-hold the homepage to add a shortcut (not an application) and it should give you the option of "bookmark".

cheers id forgotten about this, funnily enough when i do this it doesn't show me the bookmarks from X-Scope but from the stock browser which i don't use, im wondering why i cant see the bookmarks from X-Scope?
Anyway it also gives you the option for a "Gmail Label" shortcut but im not sure if this particular Gmail shortcut comes from the Gmail app which is no good to me, or m.gmail.com which is the one i want?
This Android Gmail app seriously needs improving like the Facebook one which is also crap

Can you find the folder where those photos are? If you can see it using a file manager, create a file inside that folder and name it .nomedia
Disable Instant Upload in your Google+ settings. Or under Settings > Accounts and sync, IIRC
Seriously, don't people read anymore? G+ prompted if you wanted to enable Instant Upload, and even gave a short description of it.

sorry dude,but I don't have Google+ installed on my phone,so no problem over there,anyways thanks
So I did the ota update. All is well except that somehow every link from the favorites I have on my computer now show up as bookmarks. I go into edit bookmarks and it doesn't show all that stuff. So I erased all the bookmarks that were there. But all these links still show up if I put the bookmark widget on a page. I don't know how to get rid of these things.
Another issue, the stupid facebook app put everyone in my friends list into my contacts list and I don't know how to get rid of them with.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Any random issues like this can be solved by doing a factory reset. As you may or may not know, rooted users always do a full data wipe when flashing a different rom. This is because if you just update the system data (like an OTA update does) you will run into random issues like this.

Go into the settings of the Facebook app, and select Sync None. Or go into the People app settings, and uncheck Sync Facebook.
Did a factory reset and the bookmarts from my comp are still showing up if I use the bookmark widget. But if I actually goin to look at the bookmarks it shows nothing there. Is there possibly some kind of PC sync through google pulling these off my laptop?

Ahh sorry I read your first post wrong. That is normal with ICS, it's a feature that will automatically import any bookmarks and open tabs you have from Chrome on a PC. I'm really not sure how to disable this feature, I actually like it. I would assume it would be a setting on the PC side in Chrome, but I'm not sure.
Funny thing is that I don't use Chrome. I just have a gmail account. But anyways, I figured out what the issue was.
When you go through the setup and synching process after a factory reset the Google app does it. The key is to choose to sync everything manually instead of automatically. There's now an "Internet Sync" under the Google account in "Accounts & Sync". It is a neat feature but I have probably 500 or more links in my Favorites folder on my comp. That's a ton of links I don't need on my phone.

Hmm so it's not through Chrome? Then how is the GMail account pulling the bookmarks from the PC? I just assumed it was from Chrome since that's what I use on my pc. I also have a lot of bookmarks on my pc, which is a bit annoying, but it's nice if I'm away from my pc and need to pull up one of them. I wish there was a way to just have a separate bookmark folder for syncing with the phone.
It is through Chrome. I forgot that I tried Chrome for a day or two but didn't like it so uninstalled it. All that stuff got put into my gmail account when I did that.
If you signed into your gmail account all sync data is automatically sent to your phone, it's an easy way to backup all your contacts, makes my life so easy.

I got a Galaxy S3 (International Edition) just yesterday
I enabled it to pull stuff from my google accounts, but then when I'm going to open the contacts, I see a bunch of my gmail contacts
How can I remove those from the phone? Selecting to display 'only contacts with phones' seems to fix it, but the email contacts are still available to be seen if one goes to settings and sets to display all contacts again
The same happens with the gallery application, it has like one album for each image I've ever published in Google+, I can set it to display only images from the phone, but then this is not a permanent setting, everytime I exit the Gallery app and re-enter it, it will display all the images from G+ (and I've heard that it will scan the microSD at launch for images, so it will become a clutter of every possible image it can find in the SD)
I have now disabled the sync of google contacts / g+ stuff to the phone, from settings -> accounts and sync -> uncheck sync google photos/google+/picasa web albums/contacts, so it doesn't pull down new stuff anymore, but the old stuff is still there
Is there any way to remove that?
Is there a good gallery app that will not scan the whole SD for media, nor will pull stuff from picasa/google+?
Thanks!
quick pic is the gallery app for you, you can select which folders to see, or just long press a folder and hit exclude

I'm also using quick pic and happy with it. Simple but does the work better then stock gallery app.

Now just delete local files and you should be fine.
If you have a lot of them I would suggest to use File Browser such as ASTRO.
I think i'm toast but would like to confirm before giving up:
SPECS:
Google Galaxy Nexus phone
UNrooted
Jellybean 4.1.2
I accidentally deleted an entire album of photos instead of just one photo.
I look in SETTINGS >> ACCOUNTS and list two:
'me'@gmail.com
'me'@yahoo.com
The gmail account has NO syncing set up... the Yahoo account appears to be set to sync everything. (although it's possible i just turned this on when i discovered my previous mistake, as i was in such a panic i can't remember anymore, but there are times for other items synced earlier than today which leads me to believe it may have been set to sync all along)
I went to google.com/dashboard for the [email protected] account and there is a link to a gallery, but when i go to the link it states that the gallery has no public albums.
Is my album recoverable at all or is this just a lesson learned which will hopefully save me from a future disaster?
Thank you.

Have you tried to change your partage option? Set the albums at public, or something like that?
And when you are in the gallery, there is the mesage saying the gallery has no public albums, but can you connect you at this moment for see private albums?

I don't see anything to change the setting from 'private' --> 'public', but no, i can't see any of the albums when logged in as myself.
As well, if i go to GOOGLE >> SETTINGS >> Export Data and try to 'Download your Picasa Web Albums photos' it shows 0 files, 0B.
If you could direct me to the correct settings i'll give it a try (but i guess it's not looking too good at the moment).
Thanks.

You speak about download Picasa Web Albums in Google, but is there the same option for Yahoo Gallery? For example, in settings of your Yahoo account, can you download your photos?

Just download this from play store to recover deleted files, IF they had not been overwritten
