Error -36 only when syncing photos

when I configure itunes to sync to folder with photos I get the error -36 message. All of my songs and playlists have synced without a problem. It only happens when I sync photos.
Win XP, itunes upto date and a 20G IPod photo connected via usb

hello Christopher!
that sounds suspiciously like a corrupt photo cache ... here's a general reference on the (-36) including that possibility:

ITunes sync hangs only when syncing photos to Apple TV

I just got an Apple TV, and updated it to the last software v2.4; iTunes is also running latest v 9x.
I have a large library and the first sync took a long time but it got done successfully.
But when I select images I want to sync in the 'photos' tab in iTunes for my ATV and then run sync, iTunes hangs on "Syncing Apple TV" - it just spins for hours without doing anything - nothing gets synced. If I deselect Photos completely, sync works normally - this is true for either auto or custom sync modes.
Is this a known issue? If anyone has experienced this issue and has a suggestion on a fix, it would be welcomed. I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anything that would be a fix on this.
Thanks!

So I tried a sync with the ATV with only 1 folder of photos selected from my 'my pictures' folder which is populated only with a few jpeg format images.
Same problem - itunes just stays in 'syncing apple tv' mode, the sync activity icon keeps spinning but nothing actually transfers. I had to cancel out of the sync.
One thing I noticed which is odd, is that no matter which or how many folders I might happen to select in the folders list view, the number '390' appears beside the selected folder to the far right of the selected folder. I assume that is a representation of the # of images contained in that folder that's been selected, but I know each of the selected folders don't have precisely 390 images each.
This smells like a bug.

Error when syncing photos...

Error when syncing photos. When I synchronize my IPad 1 (IOS 4.5.3) with Macbook (OS X 10.5.8) as I always do, an error saying that some pictures could not be synchronized because de IPad can not open those pictures!. Always copied from one device to another without problems! I use the latest version of ITunes. Thanks

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

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
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.)

Error message when syncing photos from laptop

When trying to copie photos from laptop to ipad I get the following message :-Photoshoot was not copied to the ipod "sids ipod" because it could not be found

Although it's for iPhone and Touch, the following document is also worth a try on an iPad. (I'd check your photo cache first.)

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone

Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone.
I've tried restarting my computer, powering down my i-Phone & shutting down i-Tunes but nothing works.
Plus i cant email photo's from my i-Phone either.

Can you do a manual back up by right clicking on the iPhone in the left pane and selecting backup?
Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, hold down your sleep and home button until the screen shuts off then let go of the buttons. Wait a few seconds and then press the sleep button to turn the iPhone back on. Try to sync now.

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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages 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 (command-V).

When syncing photos getting error iPhone can not be read from or written to

I am getting an error only when I try to sync photos. Error is iPhone can not be read from or written to. This only happens when I am syncing photos, so far everything else syncs fine. I have an iPhone 3G S. I had some pictures on the iPhone that I deleted, still no sync. I am restoring the iPhone right now.

I am having the same issue. I get "iphone unable to sync, an unknown error occurred (-51)" I have restored twice and once even set up as a new iphone. Nothing so far has worked. If anyone has any suggestions, please pass them on

"Unknown Error" When Syncing Photos

Okay, so I have a 60 GB fifth generation iPod. I can get music, videos, everything but photos to sync just fine. Originally I tried to sync the photos from a 450 MHz. iMac G3 running 10.3.9 and iPhoto 4.0.2. I got a "-37" unknown error when trying to sync the photos (the music worked just fine, albeit slowly). Technically this setup is supported, although not recommended. So then I sent the photo library over to my October 2005 Powerbook G4, running 10.4.7 and iPhoto 5.0.4. The upgrading of the photo library went smoothly, but the iPod still would not sync the photos, this time giving a "-50" unknown error.
I have restarted the computers and iPod, used every possible USB port, etc. I restored the iPod on the iMac and that didn't work. I have not restored it from the Powerbook, as the music library on the iMac is large and it takes a long time to move it over USB 1.whatever it is. If anybody thinks this will solve it I will try though...
So, is the iPod the problem?
Thanks, Zach.

it could possibly be a photo that is causing it... corrupt or wrong format or something...
try only putting the photos on in several stages so that you can find out which one it is...
just a suggestion... i dont know if it will help

Error -50 when syncing photos to 2nd Gen Nano 4gig

Receiving an error message -50 when trying to load photos onto a new iPod Nano 4gig. Music loads fine. Photo tab will not allow me to select prefered photo albums and when forced to sync, I get the above error message.
Any ideas how to correct?
Thank you in advance.

I ran updater and downloaded the most recent version from the apple site. The latest version is 7.02.15. Where did you find .16?

Error About Disk Space When Syncing Photos to iPhone

I just got my new iPhone 4 and have had trouble syncing photos to it. Close to completion I get the below error:
"No photos were copied to the iPhone “__” because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and photo albums."
As iTunes reports I have over 10 GB free on the device. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

I should note, I tried deleting the photo cache, rebuilding the iPhoto library, and turning off photo sync then syncing then turning it back on.

Fix for "necessary file could not be found" when syncing photos

During the holidays I found the fix for an annoying error message when syncing my iPod Touch (2nd gen), my wifes iPhone 3GS and my iPhone 4, that I'm pleased to share with you all:
The problem was that iTunes gave an error message that "an necessary file could not be found" (my own translation from the Danish wording) when I tried syncing photos - and then syncing stopped/aborted all together. Very annoying!
But it wasn't all photos that triggered this error, only some. I've tried switching usb-port, removing special folders inside "Pictures" and inside "Library" etc.
Yesterday I tried to remove the "iPod Photo Cache" folder inside the iPhoto Lib itself. And that resolved this issue! Eg. ctrl-click the iPhoto Lib file, show content of package and delete/move the "iPod Photo Cache" folder to trash.
Hope this will help others!

Had the same problem, but with music only. Thank you for the information
