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.

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.

Yes, you can. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).

How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

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.

I can't sync photos from my PC and get (-50) error

I can't sync photos from my PC and get (-50) error

Hello evilemma72,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you do not see a checkbox to enable syncing photos, and instead see a message the iCloud Photos is on, then it indicates you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone, and the photos already exist on your phone. To learn more about iCloud Photo Library, take a look at the article below.
iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Take care,

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s -got all my girlfriends contacts

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s
I upgraded my iPhone 4s to the latest os yesterday. My girlfriend and I use the same installation of iTunes, and for some reason I got all of her contacts copied to my phone. During the installation of the new os, I was told there was a conflict with the contacts and I was prompted to choose between to different sets of contacts both bearing my name but my girlfriends picture (!). I tried to skip this stage and moved on with the installation, and when I was done our contacts were all mixed up. When I later installed the new os on her iPhone (3), she got all of my contacts!
Is there a way to show iTunes what to put in which phone?

Hello Hylan,
There are a few possibilities.
First, make sure both iTunes and the iPhone are up-to-date.
Make sure the "Sync Address Book Contacts" box is actually checked in the Info tab for the iPhone.
You can try resetting the Sync history on the Mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
It could be an issue with the Contact database on the iPhone.
If your contacts data on the Mac is current (no contacts on the iPhone that are not in Address Book). you can replace the Contact data on the iPhone with a fresh copy from the Mac.
At the bottom of the Info tab for your iPhone, you'll find a checkbox for Contacts under Advanced -- this will replace the contact data on the iPhone when you sync. It is a one time checkbox and will be unchecked automatically after the sync.

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.

HT4236 how can I sync photos from iphone5 to aperture on my iMac? appreciate any help : )

How can I sync photos from iphone5 to aperture3 on imac OS 10.8.4?
Thanks for response. : )

You can't sync, but you should be able to import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with Aperture as with any other digital camera.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Is your iPhone not recognized by Aperture when connected to your computer?
If not, is your iPhone recongnized by iPhoto or the Image Capture application when connected?
