Syncing photos from PC to iPhone?

From my PC iTunes, I chose the folder of photos I wanted to sync to my iPhone 3GS and it showed that they synced. After disconnecting, I went to "Photos" on my iPhone and they aren't there. I looked in my iTunes on the iPhone as well and didn't find any photos. Where are my photos hiding?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you check this article about syncing photos via iTunes? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Can you see, looking at the color bar in iTunes, that the amount of data used for photos on you phone increased?

Syncing photos from pc to iphone - end up in wrong folders

Every single time i try syncing photos from my computer to my iphone 4s they either end up being multiple and/or theyre in the wrong folders.
And yes, Ive tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" thing and re-sync, but it doesnt help at all. They remain in the wrong folders. I seriously dont know what to do, Ive had this problem for too long, and its starting to bother me even more when I get more and more photos.

nowhere do you mention what operating system you are using

Syncing Photos from Vista to iPhone - a proven method

I, along with many, have had many problems syncing my pictures from my Vista PC to my iPhone. I found a solution. Many said to use a seperate memory device such as a USB flash storage device. i tried this and it didn't work for me. So I used a Memory Stick PRO duo. Some of you might not have a Memory Stick slot in your computers but I do think you can get one at Best Buy or any other retailer with an electronics section. Anyway, once you insert the Memory Stick into your computer you should be prompted to "Open to view files." Do so and make a new folder and label it "pictures" or however you want it to show up on your iPhone. Start clicking and dragging all of the pics you want into this new folder. Now in iTunes, dock your iPhone. Once you see the syncing tabs, click on Photos and change the folder you sync your pics from. Scroll down click on the Computer directory, Memory Stick PRO, and finally the folder you stored the pictures you want on your iPhone. Back in iTunes, leave it "all photos" unless you decided to make subdirectories and whatnot. You should probably make sure all of your photos are in .JPG format. From my little experience, that's the only photo format Apple products recognize. Now this isn't the end-all solution for this problem but it did work for me and i'm not very computer-literate. This did get rid of the distortion problems as well such as the slashes of odd color and so forth.
Enjoy

Glad you found a solution that works for you, but I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a Vista problem, nor one that is affecting "many" Vista users. I have never had a problem syncing photos from my Vista machine to my iPhone, nor renaming file extensions to make ringtones. I know of at least a half-dozen other Vista/iPhone users in my circle of friends, also with no problems. Maybe it has to do with User Access Control -- that annoying pop-up that wants your permission to make even the smallest changes to your system. I disabled UAC within minutes of using Vista the first time, and haven't looked back. Not saying your issues don't exist -- just that they may be related more to your particular settings & configuration than to Vista itself.

How do you sync photos from icloud to iphone

I went to the apple store and had to restore my phone since i was having issues with it and now i've lost all my photos. I was told not to restore from icloud since this will cause the issues i was having to come back. How do i sync photos from iCloud without doing a restore onto my iPhone?? I have an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4

The restore from backup process is all or nothing, there is no way to selectively restore data. These photos, the one's you're missing, where they only in your camera roll?

Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
Thank you!!!

I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
Change it so no photos are synced.
Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

Synced photos from pc to iphone and lost photos in iphone library

Hello to everyone. I need your help cause I recently lost more than 600 photos that I had on my iphone5. I bought iphone5s so I wanted to backup my files and photos. I connected to itunes and, by mistake, I synced photos fromy my pc to iphone and 645 photos I had on the LIBRARY (from previous device iphone 4) syddenly disappeared. I restored backup that I have done before syncing, but my photos were not back at the library. All photos from the Camera Roll were back, but not at the Library. Does anybody know if there is a way to get them back? They are very important photos to me and I would appreciate it very very much if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but unless those photos are on your computer, or part of your computer backup, they are gone. Photos synced to your phone are not included in any iPhone backup, so restoring from backup will not restore them.

Sync photos from iPhotos to iPhone

Can someone help me please? I would like to sync specific photos from my iPhoto to my iPhone, however the Photos tab in iTune doesn't have that feature - when you check the box "Selected albums" it only gives me the choice of: "Last Import" or "Last 12 months". How do I tell it I want to be MORE specific???
Thank you so much!
Lilly

You have to set up an album in iphoto to be able to see it in the photo pane in itunes in order to sync.
Move the desired pictures into the album, go to itunes and select the album and sync.

Can't sync photos from iTunes to iPhone (hangs)

ITunes 11.1.3 (8) hangs (constantly shows the download icon) when i push batton iTunes -> iPhone -> Photos

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck with that. Also tried rebooting and trying steps from scratch, as well as ensuring that the drive was mounted/connected first by navigating to it in a finder window, but no luck.
Next thing I tried was to make a symbolic link to the iPhoto library within the /Users/<my user directory>/Pictures directory, but this didn't work, either.
I also noticed that iPhoto didn't seem to keep the album organization that I created in the Photos app on my iPhone (e.g. I created an album "Honeymoon" on my phone, which is now empty on the phone itself. But, there is no "Honeymoon" album in iPhoto after importing).
So, even if I could choose the iPhoto library, it seems that the next issue might be that I'd have to try to remember/find all of the pics that I had saved in each of those folders, in order to "refill" them on my iPhone.
Still stuck here ...
Cheers,
Steve

How can I sync photos from events in iphone 4s to macbook pro?

The hard drive in my macbook pro crashed so I had to get a new hard drive. Unfortunately, all the data in the hard drive, including photos, music, and movies are all gone . All of my files are in my iphone 4s. When I try to sync some of the photos to my new hard drive, it won't sync the photos that I have in the events in my iphone, only in the photo stream. Is there a way I could extract the phots in events? Gladly appreciate the help .

You'll have to purchase 3rd party software if you want to extract them directly from the phone. That or e-mail them to yourself, or set up a new shared photo stream and put the photos you want in that.
The phone is not a backup device. Since the photos came from your computer to begin with, you should have a backup of them in your backup of the computer.
You may want to seriously think about investing in an internal hard drive and turning on Time Machine.

Sync photos from Aperture to iPhone 4 problems

I have a couple of smart albums set up in Aperture, when i select them to be sync's with the iPhone, the photos are sync'd in some totally random order it very difficult to locate specific pictures.
Any ideas in how to sort out the sync order please?
Thanks
John

For some stupid reason, pictures from Aperture synced to an iPhone/iPod Touch are ordered by file name instead of date on the mobile device.
If you sort the pictures manually rather than by date within Aperture, it will be ordered correctly in your Album or Event on the iPhone. Either switch it in the pulldown menu or drag a thumbnail to a new place and then back to it's original location and it will change the ordering to manual.
Makes you want to hit your head against a wall sometimes...

Ipad won't sync photos from computer although iPhone 5 syncing ok.

I have tried to load some recent photos onto my ipad by syncing with itunes but the syncing gets to step 6 of 7 and does not complete. My iPhone 5 has synced ok. Have tried switching the iPad on and off again and resyncing but no joy. Any ideas?

The message is that the computer is not associated with that account.
Are you trying to sync your iPad on a computer that you do not usually use to connect your iPad to?
You should use the computer with the backup of your iPad.

Itunes will not sync photos from aperture with iphone

I cannot sync images in my Aperture Library with my iPhone 5. I used to be able to do it, but now, no matter what I ask it to sync, the sync quits when it gets to importing the photos I've selected

Same issue with iMac to iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Both with iOS 8.1.

Syncing photos from iPhoto to iPhone

Selected albums only offers 3 options 1) last import, 2) last 12 months and 3) iPhone.
I tried resetting sync, but that didn't work. Any thoughts?

jl klein,
Do you mean you reset the sync history? If not, it's a good step to try:
Resetting the sync history on your computer

If that doesn't resolve the issue, if you create a new album in iTunes, does that appear?
Hope this helps,

Syncing photos from iPhone

In ITunes it gives you the opportunity to sync photos from computer to iPhone
Why not the other way round iPhone to computer?

Windows handles the iPhone as a normal camera device. You should use the Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard to copy the pictures from your iPhone camera roll to your local harddrive.
Correct. Just to give a bit more details. On the iPhone, photos you took with the phone and in the "Camera Roll" are like photos on any digital camera, they have to be taken off by YOU not with a sync. (see previous post as to how). Once off, then you can save there onto your computer where ever you want. If you want them to sync to your phone you save them in the folder you are syncing with the phone (all the other libraries on your phone that show up other than the Camera Roll).
