Cannot sync photos to Ipad because Iphoto library cannot be found ?
Hi
I have the problem that when I try and sync my Ipad it is coming up with message
"Itunes cannot sync photos to the Ipad "xxx Ipad" because the Iphoto library cannot be found"
It used to sync and now it doesnt…any help please?
Hi Joe,
Follow the instructions here to delete the photo cache.
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Now try syncing.

i need help really bad. im trying to sync music on my ipod, but a message comes up say " cannot synce photoes in ipod because the folder pictures cannot be found . what do i do ?
Try deleting the iPod Photos Cache folder. There may be more than one. For its location see:
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
Also, go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and make sure syncing photos is unchecked. -
Sync photos from ipad to iphoto
OK - here is my problem.
First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album. So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application. I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
I cannot figure out how to do the third thing. I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac. The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
Can anyone figure this out?Alex, any response from Apple?
The only solution to this I can think of:
1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself. <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them. -
Syncing photos to iPad&mdash;iPhoto or Aperture?
When syncing photos from a computer to an iPad, is the choice between iPhoto or Aperture and either/or choice? Clearly only one can be done at a time, but suppose I sync with iPhoto once and next time with Aperture? I would try it and see what happens, but if the result is I lose the 100+ photos already on my iPad from iPhoto, it would be a real pain to go through them all over again to resync them.
If the answer is that it's an either/or choice, I suppose I can export what I want from Aperture to iPhoto. Does anyone have a more elegant solution so that I don't have to take up space putting one image in two different libraries just to have that image on my iPad?
Thanks!
Ben
Message was edited by: CSTRabbi, who typed "photos from Aperture" instead of "photos from iPhoto."I bit the bullet and just tried it. It's an either/or. Syncing to Aperture wiped out my previous stuff from iPhoto. The worst of all is that it was a wireless sync and resulted in my Aperture albums and movie names appearing on my iPad, but the albums were empty and the actual movies are not there either.
I've been trying to find out if these files need to be synced with a cable. but with the number of questions on the iPad forum within hours you're down to page 3 or so with no answers.
Thanks,

Cannot sync photos from iPad to PC after re-install of PC
I had to re-install my PC, now I have problems getting all of my photos from my iPad to PC. I can only sync the Camera Roll photos. I have a lot more photos in a lot of other folders that i cannot sync to the PC.
If the photos were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page then your computer should see them and be able to copy them off : 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 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. If it it's this type of photo that you are trying to copy off, then have you not got a backup copy of them on, for example, an external drive ? -
Syncing photos - more than one iPhoto library?
MacPro [10.9.2] & iPhone 5 [7.1]
I have four iPhoto libraries on my Mac.
In iTunes with my iPhone connected, under "Photos" I select "iPhoto" as the syncing source and "all" underneath.
But after the sync only the photos from one of my four libraries is there on my iPhone.
Any idea how I can get all my photos over, albeit they are in four separate libraries? All 4 libraries are in my "Pictures" folder on my Mac.
Thanks.Try using the iPhoto Library Manager.

ITunes cannot sync photos to AppleTV . . . unknown error occurred (-50)
Whenever I try to sync photos via iTunes with AppleTV using iPhoto as the source in the Photos tab, I get the following error message "iTunes cannot sync photos to AppleTV because of a problem on your computer. Unknown error occurred (-50)." I can sync all other media and even photos so long as do not sync it from iPhoto as a source (e.g., syncing from file folders not a problem).
I tried everything that I could think of: disconnecting and re-syncing AppleTV, restore to factory settings AppleTV and basically re-installing it, re-installed iPhoto, updated iPhoto library. I have also checked to make sure Slideshows in iPhoto are not linked to any music that may have ampersand or some other strange symbols. I have updated AppleTV to version 3.0.1, iPhoto has been updated to version 8.1.1 (iLife '09). OS is 10.6.2.
I am going crazy in trying to fix this problem but so far it is a dead end. Exporting slideshows is not a very attractive option as it takes forever. This "error" happened about a week ago when I was putting a slideshow together in iPhoto and then tried to sync it with AppleTV. First, went through without any problems, second - error message and that is where I am currently stuck.
If someone has ANY ideas how to resolve this, I would really appreciate your thoughts.welcome to the forums, Dog8it !
see if any of the suggestions in this thread help http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10721094�. -

ITunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available.
I've turned my iPhone 4 into a iPod, meaning I only use it to hold music for my workouts. Ever since I've upgraded to Yosmite I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes anymore. I can back it up, but I can't sync. Each time it tells me "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available" I don't want to sync any photos, just music.
I've tried to repair my iPhoto Library, restarted my Mac, restarted my iPhone 4 but I still get his error message.
In iTunes when I select my iPhone 4 > Photos, I just get a spinning wheel.
Any thoughts??I can't follow the first link since I just get a spinning wheel for photos.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"
When syncing iPhone 5s to iMac running Yosemite and get the following error:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "iPhone" because your iPhoto library is not yet available. Please try again later."
This phone has been syncing with iPhoto for some time now. This is a new one to me.
Tried rebooting the phone and the desktop machine, same result.
Interestingly, in iTunes when selecting the "photos" page all I get is the spinning circle for the iPhone, the other selections, Summary, Apps, etc., all load fine.
The same situation is true for the iPad mini, the photo page never loads. I have not attempted to sync the iPad since this error appeared.
Anyone familiar with this error?
This mac has had the "iPod" cache folder deleted in past months to clear another sync error, but had been syncing fine since then.
iTunes version 12.1.050
Thanks!

We going to run a test and see if if this solution works. Lets try
On your super cool imac:
go to system preferences>users & group>create a new account and name it test (make sure you set it as an admin account)
get an external hd and plug it in
next go to finder>pictures>and copy iphoto library that is located there and put in the external hd
now log into the test account
transfer the iphoto library from external to pictures folder. if you see the same file there, do not worry you are just overwriting it.
once that complete, I would like for you to test your iphone and see if it syncs over.
Thanks! -
I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto. but in update, it says i have no updates. i dont even remember making changes in iphoto.Help. thanks.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
-iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".Hi,
I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

You probably have to run one or all of the IPHOTO resets/repairs over your library. Its in IPHOTO help which keys you have to hold down while opening IPHOTO.
Sorry don't remember which keys.
