Error (-50); syncing photos

I have a new 80GB iPod. Everything syncs correctly except photos. I get an Error (-50) when I try to load jpegs on the iPod. I called Apple, but they were unable to help. I have tried to reset the iPod and to reload, but that didn't help. Any ideas about how to overcome this problem?

Hi.
(Change the names as you please)
Check your free space on the iPod
Create a folder (myipodphotos)
In this folder create several folders e.g. Peter , holiday, birthday etc.
Put the relevant jpegs in the relevant folders.
Open iTunes
Connect iPod
Select the photo tab.
Select the myipodphotos folder
Sync the iPod (click update)

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

Does anyone have any ideas, or suggestions, how to overcome this problem?
Thanks

"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

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

Hello Janet,
I would recommend this article named 'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1207
Outdated operating system software
Make sure you have the latest updates for your operating system, which may include improvements for device connections. For example, many USB and FireWire improvements have been included in Windows Service Packs.Check for Mac OS X downloads. Check for Windows updates.
Computer needs updates
Make sure you have the latest updates available for your specific computer model (or components for home-built PCs). These are usually available for download on the support website for the maker of the PC (or component). Many USB updates are listed as "Intel chipset" or just "chipset" updates on PC manufacturer's support and download websites.
Software interference
Some software can interfere with iTunes, making it unable to write files to your iPod. Think about what software you have installed, and try disabling any add-ons that might be interfering with iTunes. Check your suspected software's documentation or contact the software maker if you need assistance with disabling the application. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software frequently causes this issue. See these steps for identifying and troubleshooting third-party security software.
Damaged files
If one of your music files or photos is damaged, iTunes may display one of these errors when transferring that file to the iPod. If you identify a file that is causing the error, try deleting that file and reimporting it from a backup file or from the original source. You may be able to repair files by repairing the disk (see the solutions in the next section).
Unregistered .dll files (Windows)
Malware or other software may cause an issue with the digital signing of Windows XP drivers. First try restoringthe iPod using the latest version of iTunes.. If you are unable to restore it or the symptom reappears, follow the steps in this document.
Damaged disk structure
These errors can also appear if the format of your computer's hard drive or your iPod disk is damaged.
To repair your computer's hard disk—Mac OS X users, read this article for instructions. Windows users, search the Help system in Windows for chkdsk to get more information on checking and repairing the disk structure.
To repair an iPod disk—Restore the iPod or iPod shuffle using the latest version of iTunes.
Warning: Be sure to back up your data before restoring an iPod. The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted.
Corrupt iPod photo Cache
If you're getting the error when transferring photos to an iPod photo, try deleting the iPod photo Cache and then starting the photo sync again.
Lost connection
Make sure that the connections from your computer to the iPod are snug and do not wiggle or come loose during transfers. For example, if you use the wrong size dock for your iPod, it can put strain on the connectors and cause a bad connection. See these articles for more information:
Learn about iPod Universal Dock
iPod Dock: Specifications
Conflict with third-party hardware
Third-party USB or FireWire devices may also interfere with iTunes' ability to communicate with your iPod. Remove all USB and FireWire devices except the keyboard and mouse before reconnecting your iPod to the computer.
Bad hardware
Hardware failure or non-compliant hardware can cause these errors. This could be an issue with iPod hardware or with the cable or dock you're using, but more often it's an issue with the USB or FireWire card or interface in your computer. Some USB and FireWire interfaces just don't work very well. If you isolate the issue to the USB or FireWire interface in your computer, you may want to try a different port, get the computer serviced, or replace the card or interface with a better one.
If you isolate the issue to an Apple-supplied cable or dock, or the iPod itself, you can get it serviced here.
Take care,
Sterling

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

Error -50 when trying to sync photos

we have a 3 gen red nano that is just over 1 year old. When trying to sync photos, we get a message that the idod can't be synced. An unknown error (-50) occurred. Can anyone please help??

I am having the same problem, but I didn't install Lion yet. I have iTunes 1.4 (80) though, I suspect it started happening after updating to it. (I am still running Snow Leopard because one of the 3rd party audio drivers I need for my work has to be updated for Lion first).
I am syncing to my iPhone 4 to my Aperture 3 library. I haven't had this issue before. It syncs everything else but when iTunes goes from "Analyzing Photos" to "Optimizing Photos" in the sync process it reports that it is unable to sync because of an "unknown error (-50)"
To resolve the problem, I tried the following:
I repaired my Aperture library database (using Option+Command when launching Aperture 3).
I deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" folder inside my Aperture library. It had to resync all my photos again, this time it worked when re-syncing the entire library, but the next sync it had the same error again.
Updated my iOS to the latest version.
Repaired Disk Permissions on my Mac.
I changed USB cables and ports (using only ports directly on my Mac Pro).
Tried syncing with only iTunes running.
Doing all the above made no difference, I am still getting the error message and it won't sync new photos back to my iPhone 4 now. It is very frustrating.

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.

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.
