Syncing Photos to iDevices Broken

I recently upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture. The update process (for me) went as follows:
Decided to upgrade to Aperture when I read that the libraries were (finally) compatible.
Upgraded iPhoto to 9.3, and upgraded the library.
Purchased Aperture, and told it to move the whole shebang over to that program (I thought, more in a minute).
Waited a couple of hours while all of that went on.
Everything seems to be hunky-dory in Aperture. The photos are there, they are organized as badly as they ever were, and include the kazillion duplicates that existed because my mom copied photos instead of tagging them, which is why I wanted Aperture so that I could tackle this project in a more organized fashion.
When I go to sync photos to my multiple iDevices, I get an error (Unknown error 1014) which searching informed me that this is generally an error accessing the photo library. No photos sync, but when I try and choose to sync to the Aperture library instead of the iPhoto library, it says that it doesn't exist. I can sync the iDevices to a specific folder (external to these programs), so it isn't the devices, although since all six of them started doing this at the same time when I did this upgrade, I mostly did this troubleshooting step for completeness.
I have tried the following:
• Deleted the iPod photo cache within the iPhoto library
• Consolidated the masters in Aperture
• Deleted the iPod photo cache again
• Verified that the preview sharing setting is 'On'
I am not finding any other questions that are specific to this, and have spent a couple of hours browsing and using Google. I may be using the wrong search terms though.
Photos I take using my iPhone camera import just fine, the originals show up in the library, and Aperture deletes them from my phone after importing as I ask it to. But then they won't go back onto my phone unless I put them into a seperate folder that I specifically sync my phone to instead of the iPhoto/Aperture library.
One thing I did note, is that Aperture did NOT make a new library, nor did it rename the iPhoto library. It is still named iPhoto library, with the iPhoto application icon. Aperture is pointed to this, and does recognize it as the library it is supposed to be using. It may be iTunes that is confused; I don't see a way to tag this to post in both communities. If there aren't any answers here, I will try the iTunes section next.
Thanks in advance! Let me know if any more details are needed. The iDevices in question cover a very broad spectrum of fairly old to new (the iPhone 4S is the newest). iTunes is also at the most current version.

Since the latest update, you now have one library that can be opened either with iPhoto or Aperture, there isn't a seperate Aperture library.
I don't know why it's not working, but you should be able to use the iPhoto 'library' instead of the Aperture 'library' as they are both the exact same file.

Icloud 2.0 control panel doesn't sync photos to Idevices

I have a computer ruinning windows 7 64, I have Icloud 2.0 innstalled, and I have an Iphone 3gs and an Ipad 3 with sim all hooked up to the same apple id.
I have set up Icloud on all devices. Photos taken with iphone or ipad syncs perfectly to all units. But photos added to the standard upload folder (created by Icloud 2.0 control panel) within the picture stream folder on my computer won't sync. When I add a photo here it shows in "my photostream folder" on my computer, shortly after, but not on my iphone or ipad. (And yes, both I units are hooked up to wifi)
I have been messing with this issue for 3 days. And I am getting increasingly fed up. I have reinstalled the control panel for the computer several times, booted several times. Turned I cloud on and off on all devices, reset the photostream on www.icloud.com several timens, no change.
Tried to contact apple support, but they want to charge me 300NOK(50USD) for calling me. I didn't go through with that obviously.
If this isn't fixed I am seriously considering returning the new iphone 5 and the accessories I ordered last week.
(I do know I can use dropbox(which actually work) or sync the pics through itunes, but one of the main advantages with Apple in my opinion was the Icloud feature. Things from Apple used to work at once, but now, not so sure anymore.
Help is greatly appriciated.

So.. I tried again and did the following:
1. Signed out of ICloud control panel 2.0
2. Uninnstalled Icloud control panel 2.0 through programs and functions in Windows control panel.
3. Deleted folders that Icloud automaticly made for picturestream (my picturestream, shared and upload)
4. signed in to www.icloud.com and reset picturestream.
5. Booted the computer
6. booted Iphone 3gs and Ipad 3, turned picturestream off and on on both devices.
7. innstalled Icloud control panel 2.0 from Apple software update on computer.
8. configured Icloud control panel 2.0 on computer, enabled photostream. And sat photostream folder to a designated folder on my desktop.
9. Crossed fingers and toes
10. Moved 77 pics into upload folder within the designated folder on my desktop.
Result:
1. The pics seemed to upload to Icloud at once, as they downloaded to the "my photo stream" folder within the designated folder on my desktop, They also showed in a new root folder when I open my computer folder called Photostream. All pics are there.
2. checked my ipad and iphone -> no pictures in my photostream on either device, even though both are connected to wifi, and both have more than 20% battery power, and none of them have camera app open.
3. Teared of grey hair as they popped out.
4. Considering android platforms instead, and to sell my iphone 3gs,ipad 3, apple airport express, and apple tv, and to return my ordered iphone 5. And to stop recommending apple products for work, friends an family.
5. Irritated.

Sync photos from broken phone

Does anyone know if there is a way to sync my photos from a broken phone onto the cloud? I have an S5, screen is not working and I'm trying to sync the photo from my old one to the cloud and I'm not sure how to do it. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to learn that your screen is not working, smith7mh. Since you don't have a working screen, have you tried downloading the desktop application for Verizon Cloud to sync your device? http://spr.ly/658444w6

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

Can only sync photos by dropping folder on desktop - iPad won't sync photos

Hi all,
I've been trying for a couple weeks now to sync photos to my iPad.
I'm running SL 10.6.2 and have updated to the latest iTunes. I have one hard drive that runs only my OS and my applications and I have a secondary drive that contains all my data including music, videos, photos, documents etc.
I have been able to repeatedly successfully sync apps, movies, music, and even a pages document to my iPad from the secondary drive through iTunes.
Every single time I have tried to sync photos it just seems to hang at the Sync in Progress screen for hours. I finally have to cancel because it's obvious the sync will not be successful. This happens whether I have one folder selected with just a dozen photos or several folders selected.
I am not using iPhoto. I'm simply choosing the folders with the images I'd like to sync from the Photos tab in iTunes when my iPad is connected.
Today I took one of the folders I was trying to sync containing 12 photos and dropped it on my desktop. The photos synced in seconds and iPad happily said sync complete. Any ideas?
Is this a quirk with SL 10.6.2, iTunes 9.1, or iPad?
It's not necessarily a huge issue that I have to move all the photos I want to sync to my main mac drive... but I just really didn't want to clutter my OS drive with data stuff... I prefer to keep them separate. Seems the only way I can sync photos right now, though, is to move them to the main mac drive... even though everything else syncs just fine from the secondary drive...
Thanks for any help!

It looks like noone has and Idea how to fix this problem ;-(

Can't view synced photos on iPhone 5S

The girlfriend recently upgraded her iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5S.
The 4S was running ios7 and all photos in events and albums synced from iPhoto could be viewed.
Since she backed up her new 5S from her 4S back up she can only view a fraction of the photos that were visible on the 4S.
When you go into Settings- General - Usage it says they are all on her phone. Its taking up many Gigabytes of data but when u go into the photo app there are little to no photos in any albums or events.
I have photo stream off and icould turned off in reagrds to anything photo related. Since they are all on my laptop and not on the cloud i didnt not think that has anything to do with the issue at hand.
Nothing on the camera roll has been affected just strictly photos synced from iphoto from my laptop.
Can anyone shine some light on the irritating siutuation???
or is anyone having any problems like this??????

You might try syncing again. Each time you sync Photos via iTunes, the photos on the phone are supposed to be set identical to the current photos in the iTunes settings. I would sync as follows: for the first sync, after you have connected the phone and opened iTunes, go to the Photos tab in iTunes and remove the check mark beside "Synch Photos from" and then do the sync. That should remove all of the previously synced photos from the phone. After verifying that has happened you could then change the iTunes settings to select the desired photos and sync again and see if they sync correctly.

Problem with some synced photos to my iphone rotating incorrectly

I recently synced a folder of photos in My Pictures to my iPhone 4 via iTunes. 68 picture...21 were taken in a portrait rotation, the rest were landscape. I had no tropuble with the landscape photos. But, after the sync, 5 of the 21 portrait photos had the wrong rotation. From my basic troubleshoot...they are not all rotated incorrectly in the same direction and I confirmed that they all have a similar resolution as at least one of the correctly oriented portrait photos from the same sync. Editing and saving the picture directly on the iPhone is not an option because I am only given the option to save an edited photo to the Camera Roll album. It is extremely frustrating. Why does this process ignore the native orientation of only some of the synced photos? I'd be less confused if it mess up all of the portrait photos. I would very much appreciate any advice to fix this seemingly arbitrary malfunction. Thank you.

I'm having a problem where when I import my iPhone photos into Picasa, photos are rotated incorrectly (even when viewed in Finder). Landscape photos are upside down, portrait photos aren't rotated to portrait orientation. I suspect this has someting to do with the iPhone saving photos without rotating them based on iPhone orientation and instead adding EXIF data to indicate the orientation based on something I read online, but I don't really know. When viewing info for a portrait photo in Preview, it indicates Y resolution is less than X resolution (which is what it should be for landscape photos only), and on the TIFF tab says Orientation 1 (Normal).
So my question is, why is it not being rotated properly in the iPhone for use on other devices? How can I fix this?
It should be noted that important photos with iPhoto or Image Capture makes it display properly in Preview and Finder with updated Orientation information, but still not in Firefox (so... good for some software on your Mac but even still not if you intend to send the picture to anyone... MAJOR BUG ).
BTW using iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS 5.1.1, Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
PS VIdeo orientation is perfect.

Photos Not Syncing; Photos Missing From Albums, No Error Message, Running iTunes for Windows & iOS 7.1.2

I am having an issue with syncing my photos on my iOS devices running iOS 7.1.2, the two being an iPhone 4s and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.
When I sync photos, I keep on having photos turn up missing from entire albums. I have tried everything I can to resolve this issue from the support article titled <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697">iTunes: Unable to sync photos</a>, and nothing has successfully worked in any kind of permanent form. I have even gone so far as to sync albums individually with a limit of around 400-500 total photos per sync, (give or take), and tried using what very little options I have on the photos tab for my devices in iTunes to essentially trick the devices to sync the missing photos. Despite this, iTunes still fails to sync newly added photos from the source location.
I have even made the attempt of re-installing iOS 7 on both devices, and restoring from backup. Again with no avail.
My best guess for my iPhone is that as it is a 16 GB, not all of 15.6 GB of photos will sync to the device, (go figure), but that doesn't explain why recent photos aren't added OR why my iPad 2 of 64 GB has missing photos.
As of this post, I have an estimated 38,940 files, spread across 1,703 folders, (a large amount of folders being in some of the folders; from my knowledge never being more than two folders in). They are all in one dedicated folder on a hard drive I've dedicated to iTunes and music related files, (for the sake of AVOIDING this kind of nonsense, I might add).
As for the system OS and iTunes, I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.2.2.3, but will have updated to iTunes 11.3 by the time anyone responds.

I have the exact same problem.
Same kind of photos/videos taken with the same camera randomly sync.
Did 11.3 fix this issue?
Sincerely

Anyone else having problem with RAID and iTunes syncing photos in Vista?

Hello,
For whatever reason iTunes can not load some of the photos from C drive. It can do it from D drive, though VERY slow. Both C and D are NTFS system, but C is a RAID 0 drive (implemented by hardware on motherboard, Intel 82801G controller). I just wander if this is something related to iTunes not working correctly with RAID drivers, or is it something else? I should say that ALL other programs and games working fine on this drive.
Thanks for the replies.

The problem is with Windows Vista using the NTFS file system, check out this post for the official solution. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it:

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..
