Can't sync photos with iPod

I'm trying to load some photos in albums from iPhoto onto my iPod and it just isn't working. I click the Photos tab on the iPod screen; choose "Sync photos from iPhoto"; choose "Selected albums"; check the boxes of the albums I want uploaded onto the iPod; then press Sync. The swirling arrows come up next to the iPod name under Devices in the left column for maybe two seconds, then disappear. When I check, there are no photos on my iPod.
I've tried creating a new folder on my desktop, moving the photos into it and syncing from there - it doesn't work.
I'm doing everything right here and it just ain't happening. Can anyone help me?

I've got the same problem. Any help?

  • Can't sync photos with Adobe Elements 6.0

    Hi I am unable to sync my photographs to the iPod using Adobe Elements 6.0 The albums are not showing up in iTunes. I read somewhere that it may work if the photos are in "collections" & not Albums but I can't work out how to do this.
    The iTunes help section says that Elements v3 or later will sync photos. Can anyone help me on this? I did wait for the latest version of iTunes before asking.
    Many thanks, I look forward to your replies.

    I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

  • With 7.0.2 can't sync library with iPod

    Upgraded to 7.0.2 and during installation got a message that a corrupted Ipod had been detected. Can't figure that--all was well until upgrade. I can transfer to my library but I can't sync library to my iPod (it's all white). I've reinstalled 7.2 and restored several times but no luck. The restoration transfers new stuff but I can't do it by click & drag. Seems 7.2 is causing problems for many....any help?

    I figured it out. If you've been on manual management on the previous version, when you download 7.2 you have to reactivate your manual management on the options list or your Ipod does not connect with iTunes. As simple as that.

  • Can't sync photos with photoshop elements 11 album

    I just upgraded to photoshop elements 11. When I attempt to sync photos in iTunes (to synch with my iPhone), Photoshop Elements appears in the drop down and when I select it, it finds all the "albums" in the catalog. However, when I select an album to sync, iTunes indicates 0 photos are available in the album.
    I'm running photoshop elements 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12, Windows 8 Pro.
    Any thoughts?
    Oh, and if I try to sync "all photos and albums" it still reports that there are "0 photos" available to sync.
    I've tried to make new albums, which iTunes "sees" the names, but there are "0 photos" available to sync.
    I've also tried to sync with a folder (file system) which works just fine.
    Any thoughts?

  • Can't Sync Contacts with iPod on iTunes 12

    Hello, It seems as if i can't sync my contacts and calendars to my iPod nano in iTunes 12. However, If i go to my iPhone, it shows the contacts & calendars are being synced to iCloud (under info). Why can't i sync them to my iPod???

    Thanks.
    Unfortunately there is no change. Here is what I did:
    1) I synched one selected group only of the addressbook. The sync was successful.
    2) A few days later when I reconnected iTouch to my Mac the iTouch appeared in iTunes and its software was automatically updated.
    3) Later on, in the info tag, I unclicked the group that was initially selected (and addresses transferred) and changed the sync to "sync all". But during the transfer suddenly the iPod disconnects in the middle of the transfer. The iTouch is plugged in the Mac, but disconnected. Ans so says the warning message.
    Note that the folder "sync all" as well as the initially selected group are both visible in iTouch contact groups.
    any other suggestion?
    Thaks again

  • Can't sync Photos to iPod - Unknown Error (-50)

    Earlier I was not able to sync my iPhoto library to my iPod via iTunes because I would get the error message "...Unknown Error (-50)".
    I have solved my problem, but I thought I would share my experience so Apple can fix the problem and other people can benefit from my work around until the problem is fixed.
    The problem seems to stem from iPhoto's AlbumData.xml file getting bad XML syntax. iPhoto can read this bad XML syntax and function, but iTunes can't handle it.
    I imported some photos into iPhoto that had some keywords that were entered via Google Picasa. These keywords some how caused iPhoto to put bad syntax in the AlbumData.xml file. To get the XML file correct, I used iPhoto to identify the offending photos and keywords. I think replaced the photo's keywords with keywords I created in iPhoto and deleted the Picasa generated keywords from my iPhoto Library using iPhoto's preferences page.
    Ironically, iPhoto worked fine and it was iTunes that could not handle the bad XML file (funny, I thought iTunes would be making API calls to iPhoto and not reading the XML file directly - so much for software reuse).
    Hopefully, Apple will fix this problem in future iPhoto and iTune fixes. After all, those darn "Hi, I am Mac..." commercials claim that Apple so is much better then MS. Seems like Apple's software has odors too.
    Just sharing,
    Donald

    Donald B:- This fix worked a treat! Thanks.
    Gravity Addict:- I was lucky that the problem obviously occurred after my last import so I only had to look at 60 pictures.
    In the 'Photos' menu click 'Get Info' to show the Info window with 'Keywords' highlighted. For me it was obvious that I had two keywords associated with these pictures that I had not put in, so just deleted these from the iPhoto preferences. Hope this works for you.

  • Can't Sync Photos To iPod Classic

    I have the last white plastic Imac with the latest version of the Mac OS (10.5.7) and with the latest version of iTunes (8.2).
    I just recently tried to sync some photos (for the very first time) to the iPod. When I select the folder where the photos are located and tell iTunes to APPLY (sync), I get an error msg. telling me that iTunes CAN'T find the iPod (though the iPod does indeed show up in the left hand column of iTunes under devices); i.e it's saying that it can't find the iPod though it quite obviously DOES recognize it.
    I've wasted a lot of time talking with Apple support who haven't been able to help. I find that Apple tech support and AppleCare tech support is inconsistent. I've wasted hours on the phone with them to ultimately get no (correct) help or to suddenly get a dial tone (the connection is dropped on the Apple end) and I have to call back and START ALL OVER AGAIN....going through Apple's funky voice mail system, etc. and then having to re-explain everything AGAIN from square one. A real pain in the ying-yang.
    This is perhaps related to another issue that I've had with the iPod since I've had it and NEVER got resolved through Apple and I have just lived w/ the problem since last Oct; see my msg. from some months back that still remains unresolved.
    BTW, I had a scheduled call from an "Apple Expert" yesterday who was supposed to have all the details of the problem (I had gone into detail relating the issue to an Apple Tech the day before and was assured that the expert would be fully up-to-speed when he/she called) but when I got the call I found that the tech had NOT been fully briefed as I was told that the person would be so they were unable to help and hence wasted a greater part of my day scheduling around waiting for the call from the "Expert". Phooey!
    HELP!
    JG

    I had the same Problem, very frustrating until you realize what it was. My simple fix was!
    On your IPOD go to
    Settings
    Main Menu
    Photos (probably set to off)
    Turn ON
    Should do it

  • Can't sync photos to iPod Touch

    Downloaded 4.3 to my iPod Touch today. I'm running 10.5.8 on my MacBook. Now it won't sync with iPhoto. I keep getting the message, IPod "Touch" cannot be synced. The required file can't be found. I don't know what this means or what file it can't find. Please help!

    Planb77, Thank you for your response. I trashed the cache and tried to recreate it. I synced my iPod Classic with no problem. I have 80GB on it and only 32GB on the Touch. I let all my pictures and a movie download to the Classic. I don't want the movie or all, just some, of my pictures on the Touch. The photos will not sync with the Touch at all. Any help will be deeply appreciated!
    PS-Everything else syncs just fine.

  • Is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod, is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod

    3. On the search feature, go to advanced tab and tell it to search for hidden files.
    4. It should find ipod controls.
    5. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
    Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes.  I love it.  Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive.  Hope this helps.  It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone.  Good luck out there.
    This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play 

  • Can't Sync all with iPod

    Upgraded to a new iTunes today,
    Now when I import my music to library I'm getting:
    "Song ... can not be used because the orignal file cannot be found"
    It's happening to Random songs I think if I relocate it, then add another Album, another gets ,
    If I restart iTunes there is no .. But when I try to Sync, it happens again
    Any ideas?
    Frank.

    What you will want to do to update is close iTunes then go to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download iTunes.
    For your iPod make sure it's connected directly to the back of the computer and try disconnecting your usb devices. On the screen of the iPod it should show 'Connected. Eject before disconnecting' and that will tell you that it is at least talking to the computer.
    If that doesn't work try resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and the Center button at the same time until the Apple Logo appears and then release and wait for it to boot up.
    Let me know if that helps, if not I have more steps to try.

  • ITunes 8.0 problems while syncing photos with iPod Classic 120GB

    Hello, last week I bought the new iPod Classic 120GB, I updated iTunes to 8.0. But when I was syncing, everything sync (movies, music, cover arts, etc) except the photos. It appears this message "the iPod "Name's iPod" canot be synced. the required file cannot be found." Those anyone knows how to solve this issue?
    When I don't selected to import photo albums, it syncs perfectly.
    Thanx for your help

    Oh, I have switched USB ports & cables just to make sure.  I am re-syncing now, but am afraid it will turn out the same and continue to have the same issues.

  • Problem syncing photos with Apple TV and iPod

    Ever since I connected my Apple TV I have had problems syncing photos with both my iPod and my Apple TV.
    The Apple TV gives me an error (no desciption) when I try to sync photos. The iPod gives me an error 39.
    iPhotos is working fine. I rebuilt the library using the rebuild library feature and this has not fixed the problem.
    I also rebuilt my iTunes library without success in fixing the problem.
    How does it sync? Is there some kind of syncing file I need to delete that may be corrupt?
    Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try?

    Just a suggestion,
    for a speedier and better informed reply, post your question in the AppleTV forums.
