Sync problem

[tdc4266]

Hi
I have a Sony Experia sk17i.
I have the Picasa mobile app and Google Earth installed.
When I go into sync settings and go into Google I can see all the sync options mail ect.
The sync Picasa web albums is at the bottom and has a tick in the box. The sync marker is next to the box. When i untick and then retick the box the marker turns as if syncing.
After a few seconds this stops. Also the date still shows 13052013 6.46pm.

I am having some issues with Picasa and Google Earth which I am trying to sort out elswhere.
I was wondering if this sync problem was the cause of all the problems.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough. If not let me know.
Thanks.-

Welcome to Android Central! What version of Android are you running?

There is no official Picasa app, so are you using a 3rd party app? Picasa was folded into Google+, so any Picasa album that you have shows up in the Google+ Photos section. However, the reason why Picasa still appears in your Sync list is for syncing photos with the stock Gallery app. So check your Gallery app--do you see all of your Picasa/Google+ photos there? If so, then the sync is probably working fine. Sometimes, the Sync list will show some kind of error when in fact it sync'ed correctly. Not sure why that glitch shows up from time to time.

Thanks for getting back.
Android version is 4.0.4 I believe this is the latest.
Tha Picasa app is called PICASA MOBILE version 3.5.7. I would have got this from the Google store. Whether its a 3rd party app I am not sure.
I had no use for Google+ so I removed it.
I have checked the gallery app and as you said all the photos are there and work with Maps which is what I needed.
The syc page still shows the wrong date but I can live with that.

I have a Nexus 7 2013 with a similar problem. I wont go into details now because I am not sure if this forum deals with tablets. It would be great if you would let me know.
Again thanks for the help.

Picasa Mobile is a 3rd party app (on the Google Play Store page, you can see that the developer is "imprologic," not Google).
