HT203082 Photos doesn't sync from iPhone 5S to iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5S. I use Photo Stream but only some of the photos that I take on the iPhone appears on the iPad. It seems random which photos sync. When I look at the iPad I can see photos from 5 months ago, I can also find various photos from all the months until today - but not all of them. I tried to turn off Photo Stream on the iPad, delete photos from the photostream, then turn it on again but it just doesn't work! Any ideas what could be wrong?

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

How do I permanently transfer photos, video & TV shows from iphone 5 to ipad air?

My 16gb iphone 5 iOS 7.1 is advising my storage is almost full. I've just purchased a 32gb Ipad air wifi iOS 7.1 and would like to permanently transfer my photos & video and downloaded tv shows from the iphone to the ipad, then delete said photos, video and tv shows off my iphone without it then deleting off my ipad. Can this be done? By what method?
In regards to the photos, I started doing the transfer via the shared stream option but realised if I then deleted off my iphone it would delete off my other devices i.e. ipad, as well. In regards to the TV shows I've managed to sync the iphone and ipad so that both devices are displaying all TV shows - I think I did this through itunes? - but I'm hesitant to now delete off my iphone before confirming they'll stay on the ipad.
Apologies for the convoluted questioning...I've tried researching this myself but just can't seem to get my head around it.
Thanks very much in advance

use icloud to sync the images to and delete them locally
or import them to the computer and sync them with the other device
and delete them after you import them on the device where you don't want them

Photos will not sync from iphone to pc!

Hi I have the 3GS and when I plug it into my pc, both vista and xp, it does not sync my photos. With my 3G it will auto sync and download any new pics I have taken, but not with the 3GS. When I unplug it it says new camera found, even though its unpluged? PLEASE HELP.

When there are photos in your iPhone's camera roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, or should be. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are imported as with any other digital camera, not synced.
XP includes a camera and scanner wizard and Vista should include the same or similar for importing photos from a digital camera including from the iPhone's camera roll.

Reminders will not sync from iphone 4s to iPad 2 .. ???

EVerything else in iCloud seems to work, but I don't see reminders on my iMac, or on the non-originating device. I have an iMac, iPad 2 and iphone 4s ... Please help!!!

None of that worked ... I'm having the issue that some others are having that have to do with the "+" not showing up in the iPhone reminders app. If I shut reminders to off in icloud preferences, then I get it ... Then if I hit on, it says "merging with icloud," but the reminders do not show up on the ipad or on the icloud calendar.
if I do post on the ipad reminders app, however, those DO show up on icloud, but not the iphone ... ???

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

"photos" option does not appear in my interface. Do have Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps and Radio. Photo doesn't appear on iPhone or iPod Nano

Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

ITunes doesn't sync my iPhone after upgrading

I authorized my new iMac today and upgraded iTunes. The upgrade took ages and probaply never even finished until I lost my nerves and restarted the computer. I wanted to get my playlists from my "old" ITunes to the new one doing what it said. I saw my lists for couple seconds and than they where gone. iTunes is empty and it doesn't sync from my iPhone either. It recocnizes my phone but the syncing stops after 2 seconds and iTunes is still empty.
Grrrrrr.......

There is another option in Preferences which controls this as well.
1. Click the iTunes Menu
2. Select Preferences
3. Click on "Syncing"
4. On the bottom of the screen is a checkbox "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods"
Make sure that option is NOT checked.

Can you sync from iPhone to PC?

Can you sync from iPhone 3GS to PC, instead of the other way 'round?

The syncing of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from iTunes on your computer, or from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after purchasing/downloading music, video, or 3rd party apps with your iPhone.
iTunes content is not kept synchronized but is part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not kept synchronized either. The transfer of photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
The only bi-directional or true sync process is for contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer. The same for notes if you are using a supported application on your computer for syncing notes.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. All iTunes content is stored in an iTunes named folder. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your old computer in the appropriate location for access by iTunes on your new computer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device or as a storage device to transfer data from one computer to another.

HT204264 I've upgraded to 200 Gb but Photo doesn't sync

I've upgraded to 200 Gb but Photo doesn't sync anything in iCloud, it's completely stuck after synced only 1 Gb of photos.

Agreed! I'm really frustrated. Waiting for months for this great feature. I have lots of photos (around 1-2k a year) that I wanted to have cloud access to on my iPhone. But even sharing to iCloud Photo Library on my Mac Mini doesn't push them to iPhone (mine or my wife's or the iPad or Apple TV).
Anyone know what is up? I thought that they would be visible without downloading to phone. I understand the download limits but what actually "shared" was way under that limit.

HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email. I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music. I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes. itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think. Can someone help with this?

razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer. I've used it for other things and it works.
