HELP! iTunes won't show iPhoto when syncing iPhone 6

PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

  • ITunes won't backup iPad when syncing

    I've had the iPad since May. Soon after, when syncing, the back-up phase seemed to stop progressing. iTunes hadn't frozen - it looks like its doing something... but the green bar stops moving.
    When I click the little (X) on the itunes display, it then skips the backup phase and continues to sync. This is how I've been doing it for a while.
    With iOS 3.2.1 and a backup is mandatory, once again it sits... no ipad upgrade for me.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Is it easy to correct?

    Yesterday I put the iPad in to backup immediately. 5hrs later i got an error message after the bar had got 50% along... "itunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later.
    This article clued me in: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690
    I have Endpoint Protection for a clients network I VPN into. I uninstalled the checkpoint programs and voila!, backup took about 15min and then another 10min to upgrade to 3.2.1
    I wouldn't say this issue is wrapped up... next time I connect to this VPN the Endpoint Protection will re-install itself, which I will have to uninstall to backup and sync the ipad... and round n round it goes.

  • ITunes won't start up when connecting iPhone

    My wife has been having this trouble for awhile, and now I started having the same trouble too. She has an iMac G5 running latest versions of Leopard and iTunes. I have a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model) running the latest version of Tiger and iTunes I also have a USB 2.0 PCI card which has already been tested and is operating properly. Both of our iPhones are the original model running iPhone 2.0, but this problem was happening on her setup before the 2.0/MobileMe fiasco.
    Basically, iTunes won't start on her machine when she sets her iPhone into the iPhone Dock, even though it does show that it is charging. When she clicks iTunes, it syncs new data from her iMac to her iphone, but new data on her iPhone doesn't transfer to her iMac (remember, this is BEFORE the MobileMe/2.0 update). I've tried different sync cables, plugging it in to different USB ports, and always it's the same- it may work properly when I unplug the cable and plug it back in again, but after I remove the iPhone from its dock and set it back in, it malfunctions the same as I just described. It initiates a sync if iTunes is running, but not if iTunes is shut down. The crazy thing is, her syncing was working perfectly both ways until about two months before the MobileMe/2.0 switch, so I know it has nothing to do with that.
    Today, my Power Mac and iPhone started displaying the same symptoms, but with a twist- I put my iPhone into its cradle, and nothing- no charging screen and tone, no syncing startup, nothing. I turn iTunes off, pull the iPhone out of the cradle, and set it back in again- nothing. iTunes won't even start up; and when I start it up myself, it still doesn't recognize the iPhone is there. I plug the iPhone into a wall charger using the same cable I sync with, and it starts charging with no problems. I plug my iPhone cradle back into my external USB hub, connected to one of the USB 1.1 ports, and the syncing/charging works flawlessly. The weird thing is, my 4th Generation iPod Photo is on a different dock with a different cable, plugged into the same USB 2.0 card, and iTunes starts and syncs with no problems with that iPod every time.
    I've taken my wife's iMac, her iPhone, and her iPhone dock and cable in to the Apple Store's Genius Bar, but they weren't able to figure out the problem. They tried to redirect the syncing issues by trying to demonstrate iPhone 2.0's wireless push/pull capabilities, but they couldn't get that to work properly, even though all the settings on the imac and the iPhone were correct. All they could suggest was that I must have had a "bad upgrade" when I upgraded to Leopard (6 months ago?!?), and that I should try an "Archive and Install" of Leopard again to see if that sorts out the issue- something I do not really have the time to do (and my wife can't really be without her Mac for that long since she uses it for work).
    I see a lot of similar issues on Apple's iPhone support pages with iTunes not recognizing iPhones when they're plugged in, or not charging when plugged in, etc. I've spent a lot of money on our Macs and our iPhones based on the idea (from Apple's own marketing) that Apple's products "just work". And darn it, with all the money I've invested into these products I just want them to WORK- EVERY TIME, without fail! These are the kind of problems I left behind in the Windows world, and I don't want their ugly heads to surface here too.

    Hi yesy
    If you are sure you disabled your AV/antispy and you get the flash of a licence it sounds like you may have a malware infection. Look out for posts by b noir and get hold of ewido - its a free AV programme - google and you should find.
    BTW, you may be in Florida and I'm in the UK, but don't shout - you're just next door in cyberspace!:) I understand your frustration coz I've been in your place. There are some really helpful folks on this forum - seek, and you shall find!

  • ITunes won't show either of my iPhone's

    Don't know what to do. I think I've tried to do a reset, but seems this may be more of an iTunes issue as I don't think both phones would need to do a restore. Any suggestions of where to start? I downloaded a song on iTunes this morning and ever since then, it won't read the iPhone.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 freezes when syncing iphone or ipad

    I am running iTunes 11.2.2 on Mac OS 10.9.3. I experience an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when either my iphone 5s (fully updated) and ipad 4th gen (fully updated) attempts to sync either wirelessly or with the cord. I have went through the apple trouble shooting and came up with no solution. I've also reinstalled iTunes with no luck. I am not able to transfer purchases or backup either device on my mac, including iBooks.
    Any tips, suggestions, etc would be very appreciated!

    My issue was resolved by deleting the sync services folder as discussed here: updated itunes 11.2 crashes after opening

  • Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

    Hello out there,
    please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
    I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
    I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
    Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
    1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
    2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
    3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
    4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
    5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
    6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
    It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
    Please, does anybody know what to do?
    Any hints and help are much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    and best regards

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Artwork on ipod but doesn't show up when synced to itunes

    I have a first gen. touch and I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto a new computer running Windows 7. Everything is working fine expect that when the touch is synced the artwork on the ipod doesn't show up in the itunes display window. The artwork in my itunes library displays, the artwork is displayed when using the touch...but itunes won't show any of the touch artwork in the artwork window. In other words all the artwork is there but itunes won't display it when ipod is synced.

    I'm experiencing the same thing. Happened after I tried activating iTunes Match (not sure if it's related though).

  • ITunes won't show my iPhone as a connected device

    Had an issue with my phone, when syncing files would appear on my phone but not actually be able to play so i deleted all the files off of my phone and started following trouble shooting steps however now iTunes won't show my device as connected however it is charging and my computer has recognized it as being plugged in. I have also tried syncing over wi-fi but it doesnt give me the option to and the 'sync now' button is greyed out. Any help would be much appreciated as i listen to music about 5 hours a day on my iPhone.

    Hi there mead266,
    If I understand correctly your phone is not being seen in iTunes but otherwise your computer does detect that it is plugged in. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Images won't show up when I try to upload online

    Hi
    I need help to figure out why my photos won't show up when I try to upload them online (e.g. Facebook, Pinterest, Google+). All of my photos are in iPhoto and it used to work fine until I updated to ver 9.3 a coupe of days ago. When I open iPhoto, it shows all the images but when I try to upload something, I couldn't find my photos so I end up copying them to my desktop first which is very inconvenient, especially if I am uploading severa photos. It works alright when I attach photos in Outlook though, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
    PS I did some screen shots if that would help explain things better. By the way, my OS version is 10.7.4, if that is relevant at all?
    This is my iPhoto right now.
    This is how it looks like when I open Photo Browser or attach an image to an email via Outlook.
    This is what it looks like when I try to upload images on to Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, etc.

    Where did you get the phone?
    If you see an ICCID unknown in Settings>General>About, that indicates a catastrophic failure. Very often this is caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will have to be replaced.

  • ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

    Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
    When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
    For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
    <Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
    I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
    I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.

    Hi Brendan
    Thanks for the reply.
    I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
    Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
    Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
    Best wishes
    Adrian
