Computer Sleeps While Syncing Photos

Hi Guys,
iPhone 3GS current software
iTunes Current software
Windows 7 64bit current updates
My computer is set to NEVER sleep regardless of battery power or plugged in. If I select a folder to sync that is around 400+ images, once I hit the sync button iTunes will begin transferring and converting the images but will ALWAYS cause the computer to sleep while in the middle of the sync... really it seems that something at the end of the sync process is causing this. It does this regardless if I am activly working on the computer.
If I select a folder with less images this does not happen.
Thanks for any help or ideas
Cheers

Jake, did you find any solution? I'm having exactly the same problem, though I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.2. I have basically all the same settings as you have. In fact I did try unchecking the "put hard disk to sleep whenever possible" for a while, but didn't help. Still goes to sleep after about 1 hour of otherwise inactivity (i.e only itunes playing). This has got to be a bug, and seems to be affecting a lot of people. I'll keep an eye on this topic.
Thanks.

ITunes has stopped working while sync photos

I have been having problems since I updated iTunes to 10.4, it keeps crashing (itunes has stopped working) while sync photos. After uninstalling and re-installing the problem still stayed. I therefore tried sync photos a batch at a time (15 photos at a time) IT WORKED but I still cannot sync my videos. I think that the problem is that this new version of itunes cannot cope with big files and therefore it crashes. I HOPE THAT APPLE WILL SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM

downgrade to itunes 10.3 as 10.4 broke this feature. if not, just unclick the include videos box and your sync should complete. here's hoping apple fixes this in itunes 10.5.

Problem while syncing photo to iPhone and iPad. ITunes 10.3.1 mac

It never happened before but just happened today with iTune 10.3.1 mac. I am using it on 10.6.8.
Between last time and now, I did update some mac 10.6.8. and today some java for mac os. After syncing photo to iPad today, I noticed some photos are incomplete. Half of the photo is white. Some with complete photo but incomplete thumbnail. It happened to 30-40 photos out of 1200+. I deleted ipod photo cache and resync the photo but it happened mostly to the same photos that had problem with slight variations. I tried the same with my iPhone and had the same problem. I tried 3-4 times and the problems remained. So I can only suspect that something went wrong while iTune optimizes photos.
The only way to solve this for now is to remove the problematic photos and resync them one photo at a time. Anyone noticed similar problem please give me some advice.

I have the same issue and tried all of the following without success (hoping to save others the hassle):
Rebooted phone
Restored phone and imported backup
Restored phone with no backup and imported photos
Moved photo folder elsewhere on machine and tried to sync it
Tried variety of folders with different images from different devices
Restarted Mac
Repaired permissions on mac
Ran Disk Utility and repaired hard drive, found a few issues
Deleted iTunes Cache
Deleted iTunes related plists
Deleted iPod cache each time
Ran TouchCopy and deleted the photo plists forcing the phone to rebuild the database
Turned syncing of photos off and on again
Ran all weekly/monthly cron jobs
New iphone 4 at Apple Store still repro'd
And so on . . .
Other notes:
Synced to iPod Touch I have and the same photos synced just fine
Restored phone as new and synced on another computer the same folder of photos that I copied over to it and it worked, but it is my husbands computer that I don't keep my photos on/use for syncing normally
Imported the same folder to iPhoto without copying the photos and it works, but I don't want to use iPhoto so not an option for me. Or using a different computer also worked, but not an option.
I went to the genius bar as well after trying all of the above and they had no idea and had not seen this. It appears to be more of a computerissue than an iphone 4 issue though. I say this since putting the same files on another computer (my husbands) synced fine to the phone. They replaced my iphone 4 and the issue STILL repro'd with nothing else on the phone with my computer.
Config:
MacBook Pro purchased December 2010, 10.6.8, latest software updates installed, iPhone 4 latest updates installed
Still troublehooting

Computer sleeps while iTunes is playing

Just like the title says, my Mac goes to sleep even when iTunes is playing. This is pretty ludicrous. Is there anyway to prevent this other than changing my power savings settings to never let my Mac go to sleep? I don't want to do that, I want my computer to go to sleep when I am not using it.
This sure seems like a bug. I am running the newest version of iTunes as well as Lion. Thanks for all your help.
My current energy saver settings are:
Computer Sleep: 15 min
Display Sleep: 15 min
Put hard disks to sleep when possible - yes
wake for network access - yes
allow power button to put the computer to sleep - yes
start up automatically after a power failure - no
restart automaticall if the computer freezes - no
Again, I would rather not have to change these settings in order to keep iTunes playing. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Jake

Can the computer sleep while encoding?

I am currently in the process of making a DVD from iMovie using iDVD. While I knew it would take a long time to go through all the encoding, I didn't count on it lasting this long.
I have to pack up the computer and take it home, possibly before it finishes the process. My quesiton is this, can I close the lid on the computer while it is still encoding without having to start over? Can it sleep and pick back up where it left off, or better yet, can I change settings so it won't go to sleep when I close the lid? It has been going for about three hours now, I would really hate to have do it all over again.
Second question: I have made DVD's using iDVD before, and although they have been about the same length (actually with many more effects than this one), none of them has taken this long to encode. We have been sitting in the "encoding audio" phase for nearly all of the time this go 'round. I hear this is not uncommon, but how will I know if iDVD has frozen?
Thanks for any suggestions, I have about an hour before I have to close the lid....
Bryan

Len,
Something you do for while you're on the boat picking up your DVD-Rs?
You got it!
.... or almost. I shoot underwater video and on the boatride home I sometimes have a lot of time (1.5-2 hrs). So one day I decided to try my luck - and it worked.
OK, that's the last time.
Man, I sure hope so ....
I knew I should never have written that comment .... LOL.
Actually, I'm quite amazed that closing the lid would return you to the process...and finish successfully.
Have to add here: I only tried this when creating a disk image. But it always worked.
mish
PS: I'm sitting on the boat while writing this .... Now THAT'S what I call Airport EXTREME!

Computer freezes while syncing

I am trying to sync my Touch to my laptop for the first time. At the top of my iTunes screen in states that it is optimizing photos and beneath that it states a number out of 3750. My entire computer freezes when it reaches 835 of 3750. I had to actually take the battery out of my laptop in order to unfreeze it and restart.
I've tried twice now to sync and it froze at the exact same spot both times.
What do I do?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to delete the photo cache folder? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

ITunes will quit while syncing photos

Hi.
For some reason when i try syncing my ipod touch to my itunes,
everything usually works out fine, but when i try syncing a pictures folder which contains maybe about a thousand photos, halfway through syncing itunes will simply quit and i will have to relaunch it.
It does not quit at a specific file, which i had previously suspected but simply quits for no reason after syncing for a short period of time.
Restarting the mac does not help.
Thanks.

Deadly_B . . . Apple eng is aware of a bug I reported to them back in Aug which is similar to the problem you encountered. The problem I reported occurs when you use add folder and specify a UNC location for the directory and then try and sync its contents, in my case mp3 files, to the ipod. In my case, the itunes sync process just skips all the songs specified with the UNC and reports no errors after syncing tghe rest of the other songs specified with drive letter mapping.
itune's 2nd level support said mime was the only report of the UNC bug and as they follow the squeaky wheel approach to correcting bugs they didn't envision the bug being fixed anytime soon.
So, give itunes 2nd level support a call and complain about this common problem. Then should fix the bug if enough folks call and complain about it.
To work around the bug you might try removing the photo's from itunes, map a permanant drive letter to the network location of the photo's, then use the "add folder" function specifying the newly mapped drive letter and the network location of the files.

Itunes crashes while syncing photos to 3gs

I'm running a new pc with win7, itunes 10 and an iphone 3gs with os 4.1. All apps and video sync fine. the problem is when I have the iphone open in the devices column, and i click on the photo tab, the option to sync selected folders is greyed out. I then click on the my pictures tab and go to choose folder, itunes crashes completly.
I have tried the delete the ipod photo cache folder route, but that hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPad, would be great if we could get some support!
Have tried deleteing/renaming the iPad Photo Cache folder, no love. Reinstalled iTunes, restored the ipad, and still nothing.
Please help!

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.

Is there a way to un-sync my iPod from one computer and then sync it to another computer with iTunes without losing all my data or downloading software?

Hi, I'm selling my current computer that my iPod is synced to and want to un-sync (I think the correct term of phase is) my iPod from my current computer, so i can then sync it to my new computer without downloading any software or deleting all my data. Is this possible? If so, please tell me how. As usual, any help would be helpful.

Do this:
- iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
- Then import into your new computer
- Copy any synced photos to the new computer
- Backup the ipd to the new computer
iOS: How to back up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The link directly above says how.

How to sync photo with flickr ?

I used to sync my photos between iphoto and flickr, and I can't find a way to sync from "photos" with flickr.
Any solutions ?
Thanks,
David

Sounds like in order to get those on the computer you might need to use an APP or 3rd party software to get them to the computer.
if you sync photos with itunes it will take them off and delete them because the photos are not on that computer anymore

My iphone froze while syncing an update. I got it running by restoring it but photos gone! I synced with computer and they did not come back.

my iphone 4 froze while syncing an update. i got it running by restoring it to original settings. i synced with computer but pictures wont come back. How do I get them?

When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
When was your last backup?
