Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
- Firewall is off
- Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
- I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
Specs:
iMac G5 PowerPC
Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
iTunes 7.4.2
I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
AC

I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto. I keep getting the following error:
"The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

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.

Can no longer sync photos to my iPod Photo

Without any change in hardware, but AFTER installing iTunes 7 via Software Update, I can no longer sync photos to my iPod. (I have had no problems syncing music, pictures, contacts and calendars since purchasing an iMac G5 "iSight" 15 months ago.)
Music appears to sync correctly, as do calendars and contacts. But after trying to sync photos, iTunes stops with the following message: "The iPod 'my iPod' could not be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I have Restored my iPod and attempted to sync, but receive the same message.
I REPLACED my iPod's hard drive! Upon syncing, I receive the same message.
I deleted iPhoto Library/iPod photo cache folder and was then able to sync photos to iPod, BUT upon reopening iPhoto, and a forced reindex (?) of pictures resulted in about 1/3 missing.
After restoring the iPhoto Library from a backup, syncing the iPod results in the same original error. Deselecting syncing photos in iTunes removes photos from iPod, but upon syncing, same error message.
Restoring iPod again, results in same error message.
Does anyone have a solution? What required file is missing?

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices. Any thoughts

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices.
iTunes sync error at the photo sync step with an unknown error 1140.
I have restarted everything, unsynced & attempted re sync to no avail.
The photo sync screen only allows me to select the sync all option, the select specific events, albums etc . Choice is greyed out.
This is true for both my iPhone 4S and ipad2.

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

TS1398 I can no longer transfer photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

people report that you have to do it in itunes on the computer and resync

IPad mini 2 will no longer sync photos from OSX 10.9.5

Although I still have 8GB memory left on my iPad mini which is one year old, suddenly I can no longer upload photos via iTunes on my Mac OSX 10.9.5 to the iPad mini. When I press the sync button, it looks like it is doing it. 'Finished sync' appears but the new folders of jpegs are not uploaded to the iPad mini. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had to recreate the play list But once I did that and synced it appeared. I'm sure updates won't update to the playlist though if I buy new songs.... Plus I can't figure out why my Macbook syned to the iPad after deleting the Playlist on the iPad (I assumed it would re-sync to the Macbook as it had done the before) ... I had not changed any settings after fiddling with the obvious above... but once I created it again on the Macbook, then the iPad synced the new Playlist.
So aggrivating and disappointing that these things aren't tested out prior to releasing updates!

After updating to iTunes 7.1, I can no longer sync iPod from iPhoto

After updating iTunes to 7.1, my iPod started crashing. I used Restore to resync music, but Restore or any subsequent sync in iTunes will not sync any photos from iPhoto 5.0.4.
The error message I receive is:
"The iPod "My iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
iPhoto appears to work correctly, but no longer syncs. Any advice to get iPhoto working with iTunes would be welcome.
iBook G4 1Ghz/iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod Photo 40GB

When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

HT4623 I can no longer send photos from my Iphone 4G. Also not receiving any photos sent by family members. I did the reset of the entire phone & restored from Icloud backup still having same issue.

I can no longer send pictures from my I phone 4Gs, It's been updated & I reset the entire phone & restored. Still having same issues. Also not receiving pictures anymore either.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

IPhoto - Can no longer drag photos from Library to created Albums..

Up until last week I had no problem dragging photos from my Library to Albums I'd created on the right side. All of a sudden I can no longer drag photos and have to put photos in Albums by clicking on desired photos and creating Album with + button on bottom right corner. Why doesn't it let me drag photos anymore??

HI gkkennedy and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
I can't tell you why this is happening but I can offer up a possible solution. Sometimes the preference folders associated with applications become corrupted. Here's how to fix that. Locate this file and drag it to the Trash: com.apple.iPhoto.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch iPhoto and see if you can drag photos from the Library to an album ... Don't worry... your Mac will create a new preference file for you.
