Can't sync photos to iPad

When I try to sync my MacBook with my iPad1 all of my information is synced except my photos. What ends up on my iPad is a blank rectangle or square where the photos used to be for over 9,000 photos that synced before. Toward the end of the sync process I get the following message:
"The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
My photos are still on my MacBook
This seems to have occurred since I upgraded to the latest iPad software (4.3.1). My iTunes version is (10.2.1)
How do I get my photos to sync from my MacBook to my iPad again?

Thanks for replies.
I am running windows XP Pro and sucessfully sync 2 x 64gb Touch (4th) and 1 x iPhone 4s No problems at all.
The photos are all large mostly taken on a EOS camera there are over 7000.
I have tried all your suggestions across the previous 2 days to limited success.
To be frank the iPad is very limited in what it can do and it all needs to go through iTunes.
It can surf, show pics / video and e-mail.
But this model cannot sync pics / video completely or easily.
On that basis I will replace it will a laptop that can do all this and much more.
Had enough of Apple right now.
My view is this product is NOT CONSUMER ready - its  frankly flawed.

  • 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.

  • Can't sync photos between iPad and Mac OS X since updates

    Just updated OS X and iTunes, now got message that "iTunes will no longer sync photos to iPad" - sounds like Apple is trying to force me to pay for iCloud photo sharing. Any way to avoid that? I loved the previous easy sync approach.

    Have a look at this:

  • 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 moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I can't sync photos on my iPad. Can anyone hep?

    After moving my library to an external hard drive, I can't sync photos on my iPad. Has anyone had this problem?

    William,
    Did you move all your photos to the external drive, or your library to the external drive, or both?
    I have started wondering if photo sharing works if the source of the photo is an external drive.  I.e., what will iTunes do if you try to sync and your library is not accessible, because you stored it on an external drive and it is not plugged in?  Will it remove all of the Aperture photos from your iPad, since the source of the photos (Aperture library) is effectively empty, since it is missing?  Maybe iTunes takes that into account and just ignored libraries that are not local.
    Can you see Aperture library in other application using a media browser, like Desktop & Screen Saver or iPhoto (browse Apertuer library)?

  • Syncing photos from ipad 3 to new pc

    I recently bought a new computer and I am trying to sync my ipad to it. It sync'ed and the ipad has been backed up, but for some reasons its not syncing my new photos on it. I keep getting a message asking me if I want to " The ipad is synced with another itunes library and if i want to erase this ipad and sync with this library." I am worried that if i press "erase and sync" that I will delete all of my pics and I have some very important pics that I cant lose on their. When I hit cancel, it syncs the ipad, but doesnt sync my photos.
    Help please!
    Christy

    What you are saying does not make any sense at all to me. If you already synced with the computer all of your iPad content would be in iTunes and you would not be getting the "erase" message. You are not explaining everything or you are misunderstanding something about the process.
    How do you know that you successfully synced with this iTunes library? It can't be syncing the iPad of you hit cancel. Furthermore, you can't sync photos into iTunes, you have to import them onto your computer - in Windows I think you use the Camera Wizard or whatever its called in Windows.
    This is want you should do if you want to sync with a new computer. This was written for the iPhone, but works the same way for the iPad.

  • Sync Photos to iPad - Windows folder to iPad albums

    Hi,
    Would like to ask you, I want to sync Photos to iPad using Windows iTunes. My Photos are organized in folders, will iTunes convert my folders into albums in the iPads after syncing?
    Thanks.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • HT1766 can't sync photos to pc.

    as of 9/19 can't sync photos to pc.
    someone also told me to change some settings, i.e., data or whatever .. so I'm thinking it has to do with phone settings.
    loaded ios7 on 9/22. my iphone shows 780 photos [correct ... pictures taken after 9/19]; but pictures folder on pc  only goes to 9/18.
    on 9/19 i used camera roll.
    on pc I deleted folders: cache and camera roll. HELP!!

    Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
    This is what you need to do:
    open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
    i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)

  • Can not copy photo to Ipad

    I can not copy photo to Ipad. Itunes appear meesage "Some of your photos, including the photo “SAM_0100.JPG”, were not copied to the iPad “Sunrise Tan’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad." Can anyone help?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Unable to sync photos to iPad

    Unable to sync photos to iPad since installing iOS 5

    Thanks Leonie. I removed the iPod Photo Cache and tried again, but still no luck
    Is enough space on your device for all photos?
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
    Are the recent photos o.k.? Do they show, when you enlarge them? Can you edit them?
    Have you repaired the permissions in your iPhoto Library or repaired the library?  You can repair the iPhoto Library using the First Aid Tools:
    Try to launch into the First Aid Tools  by holding down the key combination option-command ⌥⌘ and clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto.
    Keep the two buttons firmly held down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
    Then select "Repair permissions".
    Repeat with "Repair database", if the first repair did not help.

  • 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.

  • Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos  on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

    Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos  on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

    Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
    Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
    But weird things happened after syncing.
    (1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
    (2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
    Anyone know what's going on here?
    I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
    Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
    Unsure what's going on ...
