Can't sync photos! :-(

Okily...
I've recently bought a 30GB video iPod and everything was all going fine until I tried to put photos on it.
When I try to sync photos to my iPod I get the message "The iPod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi Gemma!
When I try to sync photos to my iPod I get the message "The iPod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
With the "required file" error in that kind of context (specifically when syncing photos), that could be caused by a corrupt Photo Cache folder on your computer.
Try deleting it, by doing this:
With your iPod disconnected, go to "START > Search". Select "All Files and Folders", and make sure that you are searching your entire Local Disk.
Then, type "ipod photo cache" in the blank, and click on "OK" to proceed with the searching.
Delete any folders called "iPod Photo Cache" that you may find.
Now, connect your iPod to your computer again. It will automatically create a new photo cache folder when you sync photos to it again, in the folder that is one level up in the hierarchy of folders from the location in which you are syncing your photos to your iPod.
Now, when you try to sync photos to your iPod, do you still get that "required file" error message?

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 you sync photo editing from iPhone to Mac

I synced some iPhoto events from my Mac to the new iPhoto app on my iPhone. Then I edited some pictures, red-eye removal and warm/cool balance. Is there a way that the changes to my photo can be copied to iPhoto on my Mac because it doesn't seem to work automatically through syncing.

Connect your iPhone with the cable.
In iTunes, select your phone under Devices and go to the Photos tab on the right.
There you can say "Sync photos from iPhoto" and also select which events you want to sync.
So the photo's sync. But what does NOT sync, is the editing of photo's on your phone, such as red-eye removal.

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.

Can't sync photos since I upgraded to iPhoto 2009

It's not a huge deal, but I can't sync photos to my iPod. This seemed to start happening since I upgraded to iPhoto 2009. Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks.

There is no plus on the Groups view page, but if you are on the contact list page the plus should be at the bottom, right side of the all contacts page. Not there?

Why i can't sync photos to my iphone?

what should i do? please help. and i can't delete photos that i've take or save on my iphone from my laptop. it says "you dont have permission to delete this picture"

Hello nassyamuis,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration, but if you have iCloud Photo Library enabled, photo managment and access are handled a bit differently than in the past. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

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)?

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,

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! :-)

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?

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 you sync photos to an iPad from both Aperture and Pictures Folder? I know there are options for both but I have photos on both Aperture and Pictures Folder that I want to put on my iPad.

If I select Aperture as the option to sync for photos I can't select photos from the Pictures folder. Currently I have my photos synced to Aperture but I want to add photos from Pictures Folder. It doesn't really look like it's possible to add stuff as it would delete my photos from Aperture if I resync with the Pictures Folder. Really frustrating because I don't want to have to add those photos to my Aperture library as I'm currently moving away from using Aperture to Lightroom. So all my older photos are in Aperture but most of my newer images are saved in my Pictures Folder. Thanks for any help with this.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for that... I thought of that, of adding my iPad Pix as a subfolder of Pictures and syncing to Pictures but I remember many versions of iTunes' ago that I could add folders. Can I still do that or has that option gone? If the option doesn't exist then I suppose I will have to use folders and subfolders.
The thing is, I have iPad Pix as one folder then another folder of Pictures with various subfolders within it. It's a couple of those different subfolders I want to sync as well as iPad Pix and I don't want the hassle of moving and syncing specific folders etc... it really would be easier if I could sync more than one folder at the same time. Hope it's possible...
Thanks,
Maz

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?
