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.

  • 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?

  • 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 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.

  • ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

    Hi everybody,
    I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
    Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
    Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
    I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
    It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
    If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
    Cheers
    Adrian
    PS... I'm running a new 15" MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, latest version of iLife, with everything clean after a full new reinstall last week.

    What is the format of the photos?

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Itunes does not sync photos to iPhone in yosemite

    2007 iMac with Yosemite 10.2.2 and iTunes 12.1.0.50 does not sync photo's from iPhoto 9.6 (910.29) to iPhone 6 with 8.1.3.
    It syncs Apps, movies, ibooks and music.  All content can be viewed in respective pane.
    However photo's pane shows the grey spinning ball (successor to the beach ball)
    after a few minutes get error dialogue can't sync photo;s.
    Have same problem with iPod touch 5, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 plus and iPod mini 2.  all with os 8.1.3

    Hello, have you made sure that you're signed into iTunes and given authorization for your iphone 4 to sync with your computer? The same thing happened to me when I recently installed iTunes 10.5 after formatting my computer.

  • Can you sync photo editing from iPhone to Mac

    I synced some iPhoto events from my Mac to the new iPhoto app on my iPhone. Then I edited some pictures, red-eye removal and warm/cool balance. Is there a way that the changes to my photo can be copied to iPhoto on my Mac because it doesn't seem to work automatically through syncing.

    Connect your iPhone with the cable.
    In iTunes, select your phone under Devices and go to the Photos tab on the right.
    There you can say "Sync photos from iPhoto" and also select which events you want to sync.
    So the photo's sync. But what does NOT sync, is the editing of photo's on your phone, such as red-eye removal.

  • I can't sync photos from Mac to iPad.

    I can't sync photos from Mac to ipad2 and i have read on the support page How to fix it but it won't work

    Have the photos been taken with the iPad or have the photos been synced to the iPad Air? Photos synced with iTunes to iOS devices cannot be synced back. See this link:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
    If the photos have been synced to the iPad Air, you need an external app as JimHDK recommended. Or mail the photos, which will be tedious. To delete them from the iPad after transferring them, sync again with iTunes, but select no folders to sync.
    If the photos have been taken with the iPad Camera, you can connect the iPad Air to your Mac using a USB cable and then to launch Image Capture or iPhoto to transfer the photos. But that will not transfer synced photos.

  • Why i can't sync photos to my iphone?

    i just update my itunes into 12.1.1.4 and i can't sync photos from my laptop to my iphone. when i want to sync, it says "iCloud Photos is On. (Name Of My Device) can access photos in iCloud. photos can be downloaded to your device via Wi-Fi or cellular network"
    what should i do? please help. and i can't delete photos that i've take or save on my iphone from my laptop. it says "you dont have permission to delete this picture"

    Hello nassyamuis,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration, but if you have iCloud Photo Library enabled, photo managment and access are handled a bit differently than in the past. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • I moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I can't sync photos on my iPad. Can anyone hep?

    After moving my library to an external hard drive, I can't sync photos on my iPad. Has anyone had this problem?

    William,
    Did you move all your photos to the external drive, or your library to the external drive, or both?
    I have started wondering if photo sharing works if the source of the photo is an external drive.  I.e., what will iTunes do if you try to sync and your library is not accessible, because you stored it on an external drive and it is not plugged in?  Will it remove all of the Aperture photos from your iPad, since the source of the photos (Aperture library) is effectively empty, since it is missing?  Maybe iTunes takes that into account and just ignored libraries that are not local.
    Can you see Aperture library in other application using a media browser, like Desktop & Screen Saver or iPhoto (browse Apertuer library)?

  • My macbook pro's iTunes can't sync with my iPad1

    Hi there,
    My MacBook Pro's iTunes can't sync with my iPad1. They are connected by cable and the Macbook and the ipad can find each other by wifi but that's it. The software seems to be upto date on both but im not sure as i can't find the itunes app symbol in the settings area of the ipad but it has itunes. I hope that helps.
    Cheers folks,

    It is not of any help but have exactly the same issue. Called one of our local radio Tech Shows (The Tech Guy, with Leo Leporte) and for what it is worth his only answer was that it was a bug. He noted that apparently i-Tunes was not looking at i-Photo for the library location but rather, as you have noted, only looks in the default location.
    Be interested if you get this solved or come up with another work around that does not require my library to be in the default directory.
    As you noted i-Photo is happy it is just the sync with i-Tunes, it just doesn't work,

  • Can I sync photos that I imported on my desktop to my laptop so I can edit?

  • How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2?  When I try, it asks the photos will replace the three apps I created

    How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2?  When I try, it asks the photos replacing three apps I created.

    You're welcome.
    However, can you then organise your photos in i Pad into different categories so that it is easier to access? If that can be done , then can we keep them separately in i Pad so that it can not be deleted when we Sync next time around?
    Already answered with my previous post, which is not by category but by photo albums or folders or photos.
    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPad only. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    To add another folder of photos to your iPad, place the folder of photos in the selected parent folder followed by a sync.
    The named folder of photos in the parent folder will be transferred to your iPad as seperate albums or folders of photos.
    When adding a new folder of photos to the selected parent folder to be transferred to your iPad followed by a sync, the existing folders of photos in the parent folder that are already available on your iPad will not be touched or removed with the next sync to transfer the new folder of photos to your iPad.
