ITunes can't sync photo to both 160GB iPod Classic and 16GB iPhone 3g?

I had the Classic for some time, and never had a problem sync'ing photos.
Then I added an iPhone, and I received the infamous "insufficient permissions" sync error.
Per unwritten SOP, I deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the *iPhoto Library* package, then re-sync'ed the iPhone. Miraculously, the photos were re-"optimized," and now on the iPhone.
Then re-sync'ing the iPod yields the "file cannot be found" sync error. One which cannot be solved by repairing permissions, reinstalling iTunes, or restoring the iPod.
So I can only remove photos sync from the iPod, and enjoy them only on my iPhone.
Apparently, only one (set of) file(s) is created in the optimization process, a file (set) that is device-specific.
Thank you for the new bug (reported), Apple. You're really on a roll with them lately.

Well, I guess I fixed it by taking off enough music for it to let me add the photo then putting the music back on. :\

ITunes can't sync photos from my iPhoto after update

Hello, after update my iTunes can't sync my photos from my iPhoto. I'm with Mavericks and iTunes 11.0.5. Thank you and have a nice day

I'm having the same issue with iTunes no lonter allowing me the option of syncing my iPhoto pics to my phone. iPhoto is not offering me an update, though. Any other suggestions?

How can I make my brand new 160GB iPod Classic work?

I bought a 160GB Ipod Classic in January and have just tried to use it for the first time and it has been a disaster! I have spent hours trying to use it and failed. I have been using iTunes for some time now and have recently successfully set up Squeezebox to use the iTunes music I have uploaded from my CDs.
All started well - my system recognised the new hardware and iTunes started. I registered and said I wanted to synch my music and my photos and away it went. After 2-3GB of uploads I got an error saying
"The Owner's iPod cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." On pressing 'OK' it then said I'd got an unknown error. Pressing 'OK' again took me back to the first error message. I then tried everything I coould including relaoding iTunes and eventually got it started again. This time it got up to about 8GB (of about 10.5GB) before abending in the same way. Since then I have failed to take another step forward in many hours.
When I connect the iPod to my PC sometimes it appears briefly in 'My Compter' then disappears. Then the errors loop thus:-
START:The iPod itself says "Connected" the a few seconds later it says "Ejecting"
The device manager has a USB Mass Storage Device with an exclamation mark on a yellow background which then says
"Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for'safe removal' but it has not been removed from the computer (code 47). To fix this problem, unplug the device from your computer and then plug it in again"
Doing this the causes the process to sytart again from START above.
On one occasion only, after a few hours trying, I got a message "Your iPod need to be reformatted to work with Windows" and it opened up iTunes and then sat and did nothing.
Running the diagnostics in iTunes says "No iPod found". The diagnostic information is set out below:

Have solved my own problem. My PC sits on the floor so I have a four-port USB hub on my desktop with one port in use. I use one of the other three ports for USB-related task. As I was shutting down for the night I had a - what turned out to be inspired - thought about whether there was an adequate power supply from the hub. I then tried the iPod USB connection directly into the front of my machine and everything worked. It seems that an inadequate power supply was the cause of this strange set of conditions.

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick

Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

ITunes Won't Sync T.V. Show to iPod Classic

All of my videos have been converted to a specifically Classic 5th-Gen compatible MP4 format, and I've had no problem at all with all of the HUNDREDS of others in my iTunes library. But for some reason, one particular show just simply will not sync to my iPod, and I'm at a loss as to why.
Once again: None of my videos were bought from the iTunes store, and the dimensions, container, decryption, and absolutely all details about the video formatting is identical to the many, many other videos which have worked flawlessly as they were all created in exactly the same way, so file parameters should not be the culprit here.
I have my library set to sync only checked videos (due to space limitations) and have checked and double checked and triple-checked that this particular TV show is indeed checked when the iPod is synced. I've tried deleting all of the videos from the iPod and then syncing JUST this show, to no avail; I've also tried deleting and resyncing ALL the shows. No matter what I seem to do, iTunes simply will not sync this show. I don't get an "iPod will not play this file" error message or any kind of error message at all, and the videos play perfectly fine in iTunes. When I sync, the episodes just don't sync--they don't appear in the iTunes header saying "Syncing video 1 of 13" or whatever the numbers may be, and the sync says it finishes immediately. I'm really at a loss here.
The iPod is (I'm pretty sure) a 5th Gen iPod Classic, and the show is the first season of Metalocalypse. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I FOUND A SOLUTION. at least, I was having the same problem as yall, and I found a solution that worked for me, I hope it helps yall too.
My issue was that music would sync to my devices, but some of the playlists would not have all of the songs in them that they should have had. I looked at the playlists, that I was having issues with, and they were all complex smart playlists. Meaning they had multiple levels of conditions in the smart playlist settings, and itunes 10 does not seem to suppor that. To fix it, I went through all of those smart playlists and made new smart playlists that had the same (or as similar as I could get them) conditions to my old playlists. I then re-synced my devices and all my songs appeared in my playlists.
I dont know why, but itunes 10 no longer supports some of the smart playlist rules that older versions of itunes did, so hopefully updating your smart playlists will fix this problem.
Best of luck guys.
P.S. if you dont know what I mean by 'complex' smart playlist, here is an example of what I mean:

Itunes can't sync photos

I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 and an iMac running itunes ver 12.1.27 and photos (not iPhotos). Ever since I replaced iPhotos with photos, I get the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone “xxxxxx’s iPhone” because your iPhoto Library could not be found. Open iPhoto to create or update your iPhoto Library." when I try to sync the phone. Since I no longer have iphoto, this seems like an impossible request from itunes.

You will need to go into iTunes to re-tell it to sync with Photos. With the iPhone connected, go to your phone in iTunes and select Photos. Check the checkbox to sync all (or whatever subset you had before).
Drawback: It will do a full re-sync when you apply the settings.

How can I Sync the applications from my ipod touch to my iphone 4s through itunes???

I recently got a new iphone4s
And would like to sync some apps which i have on my ipod touch over to my iphone
but not all of them. I am using itunes through windows 7 many thanks

If the music on the iPod was purchased through iTunes you can try Transfer Purchases.
Connect the iPod to the Mac and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name on the left side of the iTunes window under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. That should transfer the music into the iTunes library on the Mac.
iTunes Store: Transferring Purchases

HT1351 i can no longer sync photos from computor to ipod classic, did before!

I cant sync photos from my Pc to ipod classic, but did before last update!

I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

I can't see songs on 2nd gen ipod classic and no there is no "on this ipod"

I cannot access contents of ipod 2nd gen classic. Summary - music - movies etc photos - info and the blue button DONE. The ipod is full and I can't upload podcasts. Every one who helps, and others asking this question are all told to click "on this ipod" but that is not an option among the itunes pull down menus.
I fear Apple inc wants to force me away from my perfectly functional 2nd gen ipod by not supporting it properly in itunes.

Remove something from the iPod then.

What question? You've simply made a few random statements, the meaning of which appears to be lost in translation (to me anyway!).
You need to be more specific.
Do you use Sync to manage your iPod? If so, make changes in your iTunes Library, that will remove some media from the iPod at the next Sync, thus leaving room for the Podcasts.
Then connect the iPod to your iTunes Library and look on the iPod/Podcasts pane. (I assume that your reference to "on this iPod" is related to this step.) Do you mean this?...
or, if you have the Sidebar turned on, this....
Whichever screen you have, click on the device, and then look on the Podcasts pane and choose the option to Sync Podcasts to your iPod. You may need to click on Sync (if you made your choice after iTunes has reached the Podcasts step).
If this does not address your issue, try alittle less drama and a bit more information about which steps you have made, and what did not happen that you expected to happen. Then we might get somewhere.

Fear not, it is properly supported.

Can someone explain to me why iTunes will only sync photos ONE WAY from my PC to my iPhone, and not vice versa?

I have photos on my iPhone and want to put them on my PC. Should be straightforward, right?
So I go ahead and install iTunes, and plug in my phone, and sure enough iTunes tells me I've got 1610 photoes on my iPhone. It won't let me actually SEE them, of course. Fine (no, not really fine). So I create a blank folder on my PC and proceed to do a sync. My options are to (a) Sync FROM "My Pictures" to the phone, or (b) choose another and sync FROM my PC TO the phone.
Where is the option to sync FROM my phone TO my PC????
It boggles my mind that I have to go outside of iTunes and use Windows Explorer to copy the photos from the phone to the computer. So I go to "My Computer" and within the iphone Internal Storage there is only a DCIM folder and two sub-folders. There are only 800 photos there! Where are the other ones?
Evidently what I can see from Windows Explorer is ONLY the pictures I took with the phone itself, and NOT the pictures I saved from email attachments or instant messages! Why? Where are they and how can I access them???
SO far, the closest thing I have been able to find is to have to buy a third party App like "Simple Transfer" to do this. Is this really the case? Or am I missing something?

Photo sync is only one way, computer to iPhone.
To get pictures from the iPhone to the computer, copy them to the computer as you would with any other device.
Pictures saved from emails or instant messages (if done on the device) are in the camera roll.
Pictures previously synced to the device from a computer are not available to be copied off the device. They should already be on a computer.

ITunes can't sync photos to iPhoto

Hi,
in iTunes 10.6 / Apps tab / File Sharing, when I add my photos to iPhoto on iPad2, they are transfered, but when I start iPhoto, there is no transfered pictures at all.
Bug, or I'm missing something.
Thanks

I have a similar problem. Updated to iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and Mac to iTunes 10.6 today. Now the app file sharing (i.e., file transfer) in iTunes does not transfer files for any apps. Restarting, reconnecting do not improve the situation.

Error message when syncing photos/videos in iPhoto between iMac and iPad/iPhone 4S.

I repeatedly get a message saying that "224 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information or for details". I'm trying to figure out why this is happening and I can't figure out where in iTunes I can get the details the error message references. Does anyone know how to diagnose?
Please note: this is not a space/capacity issue. I've already eliminated that as an issue.
Thanks in advance.

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars
Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums
