Photos won't sync: "Cannot be displayed on your iPod"

Many of my photos will no longer sync from iTunes (Aperture photos) on my Macbook to my iPod Touch. For example, out of 250 photos, only 2 sync.
iTunes says:
"Some of your photos, including the photo "xxxx.jpg", were not copied
to the iPod "Leo's iPod Touch" because they cannot be displayed on your iPod."
These same photos synced fine from iPhoto, but awhile ago I switched to Aperture. I also recently installed Lion.
Any idea what can be done to rectify this? Thanks.

Fixed, by deleting the iPod Photo Cache folders in both the iPhoto and Aperture libraries.

How can I solve this error message? Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_0374.jpg", were not copied to the iPad "(my name's) iPad" because they cannot be displayed on your iPad.

how can I solve this error message? "Some of your photos, including the photo “IMG_0374.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “(my name’s) iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
There were 273 photos in the event syncing from my Mac, but only the last 103 made it to the ipad. Most of the photos were taken by an iphone. I would appreciate any thoughts or insights - thanks.

Adrian-
That error message suggests the photo is somehow corrupt.
Do you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit? You can set up a USB thumb drive with MS-DOS FAT-32 format and copy your photos to it into a folder named DCIM. Assuming they have an 8 character plus suffix name, the iPad will recognize them and give you the option of transferring them via the Kit's USB adapter.
Once they are transferred, you can find out if there is a problem with any.

Photos won't sync to iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 8GB with iOS version 4.2.1 and I'm having an issue with syncing photos. I try to sync a folder of pictures and the statue bar area where iTunes tells you what its doing, it goes through syncing, backing up, and says optimizing pictures, and goes through them quick but then give me this error:
Some of your photos, including photo "XXXXXX.jpg". Were not copied to iPod "iPod Name" Because they cannot be display on the Ipod.
What should I do?

The following document is a good place to start with that one:

ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
What's going on? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
Hope this helps.

*** How to get Album Artwork to display on your iPod: ANSWERED!

I'll start by saying that my iPod Nano would not display ANY album art at all, even though it did in iTunes. I just added 180 albums to my iPod, and they all showed up, perfectly. Here's how I did it:
1) Move all the songs you want on your iPod into the iTunes music library. (Open iTunes, and drag the files over the "LIBRARY" catagory)
2) Click Music, under the LIBRARY heading.
3) Add the artwork to each song/album. I used "iTunes Art Importer". It's a great program, and is really easy to use/download.
4) Connect your iPod to your computer.
5) Remove any songs you have on the iPod.
6) Go to the Music tab, in the iPod control panel.
7) Sync all music files/playlists from your iTunes library.
If you did this correctly, all the album art you added in your iTunes library should display on your iPod. Be sure to have "Display Album Art on this iPod" checked off.

I was searching for exactly the same issue in the forum.
I've tried mutiple ways of copying the artwork into the iPod, all to no avail.
Just like yours, the artwork shows up in iTunes, but not on the iPod screen,and only for a few select albums, mainly stuff I've put in recently (although some new artwork does show).
I checked to see if there was an issue with the artwork format, but they're all .jpg images, so there shouldn't be any issues there.
Let's hope someone else might have a solution for us.

Lots of photos won't sync - error of no free space

Hi There,
I have an 8GB original iPhone.
When syncing, it frequently fails to copy photos saying
"No photos were copied to the iPhone "iPhone" because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and albums"
Now, all my photos for syncing are re-sized to 800x600 so are pretty small (the iTunes optimisation actually gives a bigger file size). After my current sync iTunes reports 262.3MB free - MORE than enough for the photos left to sync.
I've tried a multitude of things, including
- deleting all the photos off the phone and starting again
- clearing the iPhone photo cache folder
- performing a full restore of the iPhone OS
The only thing that does appear to work is deleting videos, but then I still end up with the space for videos, but if I put them on there it deletes the photos. I can fill up the entire disc with video/music (iTunes allows that), but not photos.
I've seen some others are having this problem, but not seen a solution.
Any thoughts?
Please help,
James

Hi,
But if you had 60MB of photos and 110MB of free space, you shouldn't need to remove any apps?? At the very least it should copy as many as it can to use up all the free space?
A pretty annoying bug in iTunes sync??
I've also found that removing videos will allow me to copy the photos, but the annoying thing is that it's reporting enough space so that I SHOULD be able to have my photos AND videos AND apps - but it makes me chose so that it can keep free space...
BTW, I can fill up ALL the free space with video, but NOT with photos...!
Anyone got this to work properly at all??

60 gig iPod Photo won't sync

I have a 60 gig iPod Photo that has stopped being recognized by the computer. I tried a new USB cable. Sometimes it will charge when connected to the computer, sometimes not. It will charge when plugged in to 12V source. I have tried it on more than one Mac, but no dice. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. And yes, we have tried the reset several times!

Since you tried it on multiple Macs with a different cable, you've mostly eliminated the +bad docking cable+, +bad USB port+, and +something wrong with the Mac's system+ possibilities.
Question: When you have it connected to the power adapter, does it operate properly as an iPod? So does it display its screen menu and play songs?
If it does, then the hard drive is probably OK and not the problem. The problem may be that the dock connector on the iPod side has become worn or otherwise damaged. There are many pins on the connector, so it is possible for it to charge yet not connect for data.
If it does not work as an iPod (play music), for iPods with a hard drive, the hard drive is the most common failure point. So it is possible that the hard drive in your iPod has become faulty. Other possibilities are problem on the logic board and problem in the connection between the logic board and hard drive.
If the iPod does not get recognized by Disk Utility, the only other idea I can think of is to open it up. You can try disconnecting the battery and see if it connects to the Mac with no battery. You can try disconnecting the hard drive, inspecting the two connection points between the hard drive and logic board, and reconnecting.
Here is a helpful guide.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-4th-Generation/93
When opening the 4G iPod, it is easiest to start from the seam at the top end, because there are no clips there. Be careful at the top left corner (looking at the iPod from the front) because there is a delicate ribbon cable there connecting the two halves of the case. You do not want to yank it open at that corner. If possible, leave that connection alone; it can easily get damaged when trying to disconnecting the ribbon cable. You should be able to lay the iPod open, like a book, from the right side.
Be sure to use plastic tools to open the iPod. Metal tools will damage the case.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

Does anyone know how to sync iCal with events from your iPod Touch?

So I use my iPod for events more than I do with my MacBook. However I'm trying to sync iCal on my computer with the events on my iPod yet I haven't found a method that actaully works.
Does anyone happen to know of an effective method where you can move events from your iPod to your MacBook?

Update your Mac OSX to 10.9.3, syncing locally is back.

Can you sync "actual DVD videos" to your ipod Video?

Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod? if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format? Thank you anyone who can answer this question.......i am considering to get an iPod Vidoe 30GB and knowing the answer to this question would very much help me make my decision on weather to get it or not...thank you again!!!

"Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod?"
yes you can
"if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format?"
ipod plays mov and mp4 files, there are numerous third party software that allow you to convert other video formats to mov or mp4 (Videora being one of the freeware ones). Others can convert movie files directly so you can throw them onto your ipod after converting them.

IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to after update

After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
No difference if wire or wifi.
My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
Anybody see similare issues?

YES! Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all. Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi. My mac won't recognize my iphone at all. Doesn't even show up in finder. Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

An unknown error occurred (-50). Videos/Photos won't sync! HELP!!

I have been getting this error ever since i updated to iTunes 7. I can update my music files just fine, but I can't put my podcasts, photos, or movies onto my ipod. I have tried restoring it, which didn't do anything except erase all the photos and movies i had on before. I am completely up to date with the ipod and itunes software. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Oh, and I also get the "disk cannot be read from or written to" error every once in a while, usually when I'm trying to put on the videos or photos. It's not usually a problem, though I don't know why it's still showing the error. I've tried switching USB ports, and my computer updates are up to date so I'm not sure what the problem is. I am aware of the article on this problem as well.
Thanks for your help!
