Half grey images after sync

Since updating to Mavericks I am having the following issues :
Syncing Photos from Itunes (the top part of 50% of photos are fine but the lower half is just all grey)
iTunes keeps saying "finishing sync" even after 30mins
It's not every photo but the majority, I have even tried syncing via wifi instead of USB
Viewing these photos in iPhoto on the laptop are 100% fine no grey
Please help as this is annoying :(

Go into 'Music', press 'more', press 'Shared' and press whatever computer/device you synced on. I have had exactly the same problem and stumbled on this solution literally minutes ago. No need to delete your whole library and reload or re-sync. Interested to know if it works for you too. I've still got the same problem with synced home videos and photos but will carry on to see if can stumble across the solution to that too now that I seem to be on a roll!! Music videos are fine now as well, just home videos and photos not accessible yet. Good luck!

Corrupt Images after syncing Photos

Has anyone experienced corrupt images after performing a sync?
After activation and at some point during my first sync my machine blue screened. After a reboot it appears that everything is running smooth, however, I notice that most of the pictures that are synched are corrupted and many didn't synch at all.
I removed all synch images and re-synched but I'm still experiencing the same problem.
I'm hoping its an issue with Vista or iTunes and not my phone. Looks like I'm going to have to go out and get that Mac Book Pro after all

Are you saying that the photos are appearing in the wrong albums, or that the photos are in their correct albums but are displayed in the different order within them ? If they are in the wrong albums then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and re-try the sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the photos are displayed in the wrong order in the albums, then they will be displayed by capture date order unless you are syncing via iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac. To get them in a different order you will need to manipulate their capture dates : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221

After syncing my iPad2 my color/contrast settings are all messed up. Reds are blue, greens are grey. It resembles infra-red images I've seen. How do I restore normal color/contrat settings?

After syncing my iPad2, all of my color/contrast settings are messed up. Reds look blue and greens look grey. It reminds me of infra-red imaging. I'm not sure what happened. Can someone tell me how to fix this and maybe tell me what I did to cause this?

Try going to Settings > General > Accessibility > white on black and turn this OFF.

Loaded new ipad(3) from ipad 1 backup. After sync photos look low-res. Is there a way to get higher res images?

Have a new ipad (3rd gen). Loaded apps from a backup of my original ipad.
So far everything is okay except the photos. After the sync, all the photos
appear to be low resolution and/or grainy.
I'm guessing this may be due to itunes or iphoto using lower resolution images when syncing to the ipad.
Is there any way to change this to a higher resolution or full resolution setting?

The resolution shouldn't change from one sync to the next - even if you sync to a new device - if the photos were in your photos folder on your computer and that is the sync folder that you have chosen to sync again - the resolution doesn't change.
Try some basic "fixes".
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the photos app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

LR 5 Raw images and some jpegs not showing even after Sync.

I have LR 5 (latest update). When I was trying to edit a photo from 12/2013 I noticed that only the jpeg images were previewing. I ran a sync of the folder which showed no files to import. The files are there; I've used them, I can see them. Looks like it's all the files in folder 2013 pics, but not 2014 pics. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

IPhone is at a grey screen after flashing for a few minutes

My iPhone is at a grey screen after flashing at the same screen for a couple of minutes.
I can turn my screen on and off, phone functions and siri both work. The screen is just grey, no error messages or anything.
This happened after I was trying to connect to a wifi hotspot and I was typing something into a field when it froze, flashed for a few minutes, and stayed on a grey screen. This has been going on for about an hour and a half.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brialex119,
If your iPhone is flashing with a grey screen, I would suggest resetting the device and resetting the network settings. If that does not resolve the issue, then you may need to back up to iCloud and restore it.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204324
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

Pictures not showing in photo app after syncing.

I synced my N8 with windows media player after the anna update but couldn't see any pictures in the photo app. Pictures are already on the device inside "pictures" (not "images") folder in E: drive. After playing a bit, i figured out that photos app only read the pictures inside "images" folder of E: drive. Is there any possible way to make photo app read files in the "pictures" folder or make Windows Media Player sync with the "images" folder instead of "pictures" folder. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I guess you just have to move them every time from Pictures folder to Images you sync with windows media and I prefer to start using Ovi Suite to sync
to move a file you should mark it first then click Options - Organize - Move to - choose whatever folder you want
If I've helped in any way, a click upon the star over on the left would always be appreciated.
If however my answer also solves your problem clicking below it will benefit other users!

No music on iPod after sync

I've been having a problem with syncing music to iPod gen4 and and iPod gen3 for some time now. There are similar issues reported in a variety of questions on this forum: after syncing, apparently successfully via iTunes, you disconnect the iPod and the iPod appears to have no music on it. However, I have not been able to find any that present to me a working solution, nor have a found a discussions which shares particular details of the situation that I am experiencing.
After a "no music on iPod after sync" experience, the iPod will no longer function properly after this, and you have to put it into disk mode in order to connect to the computer and "do a restore." The first time this happened, I didn't know about restoring, and actually discarded the iPod (a gen 3) and replaced it with my first gen 4. Now I have an additional gen 4 (my 2nd), plus I also purchased a used gen 3 to replace the one I threw away. Each of these three devices has experienced the problem, and I can get the device functioning again after restore. All the devices seem to be in good working shape and serve me fine; I do not believe that any of them has a hardware problem such as failing hard drive etc.
The problem of "no music on iPod after sync" can be created in a repeatable fashion by choosing the appropriate set of playlists to sync. I visited an Apple Store genius bar twice now to discuss the issue, and the conclusion was that there possibly was a "corrupt file" that was causing the problem. However, I can also reliably sync the music by splitting it into smaller pieces. For example, suppose I have a group of 20 playlist folders, and I choose to sync the first 10. This can be done without problem. If I then choose to sync the last 10 but without the first 10, this also can be done without problem. However, if I sync all 20 together, then I get the "no music" screen on the iPod after the sync. So I can load and play all the music files involved with my problem. What seems to be associated with the occurrence of a "no music" event is the volume of songs that I sync.
I am working with a large number of audio files organized into a large number of playlists arranged in a somewhat large number of playlist folders, some nested inside others. I suspect that a cause of the problem may be the large number of files and/or playlists and/or folders.
For instance, in my latest experience, I worked with a collection of files that I have sitting all together in one playlist folder, that itself sits inside a higher level playlist folder.. In this collection there are 4358 "songs" (the audio files aren't actually music) occupying 1.68 GB of memory. So I have one playlist folder (level 1, let's say) that contains within it a playlist (sub)folder (level 2) that has within it 36 playlist folders (level 3), each with a set of playlists inside that together account for all 4358 songs, without any repetitions of the songs between playlists. Some of the playlist folders contain as many as 206 playlists. The playlists vary in the number of songs they contain; I think there are some with just one or two, and I now there are some with at least 32 songs.
Anyway, with the above described collection, I can sync the first half of the set of level 3 playlist folders without problem. I can sync the second half of the level 3 playlist folders without problem. But if I sync all together, I have problems.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Verify you have the itunes/ipad music tab set to sync music and the correct playlists selected.

ITunes no longer "found" after sync

I was disappointed to find that after syncing about 400 of my favorite songs to my iPhone with iTunes 7.3 (OS X), those tracks had the dreaded "grey arrow" beside them, indicating they could not be found.
Of course, clicking the song made iTunes try and look in the last known location and sure enough, the songs opened up.
This happened for newly purchased AAC and Enhanced AAC tracks from iTunes as well as ones I ripped from CD and even MP3s.
Interesting note about the MP3 files - they were somehow reset to open with text edit (the notepad equivalent on a Mac) and i had to reset them to open with iTunes.
Any one else experience this?

A mystery that was related to having the files on a Buffalo Terastation NAS. When I changed the mappings of the SMB share, it worked.

No artist icons in music app after syncing iTunes Match

I recently bought an iphone 5s and after syncing my iTunes Match I noticed none of my artist have icons anymore. My iTunes Match is extremely organized and I would like to know if there is a solution to this? Before the icons were automatically updated with pictures of the artist that apple chose. Since this method is clearly no longer working, is there a way I can update them myself?

I had the same issue after restoring my new iPhone 5s from a backup of my iPhone 4s and this worked for me. After one of the iOS betas apple released a profile that adds a reset music and video library button in the Music settings. Install this profile on your iphone, I found it here (just pull this up in Safari on your iPhone):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdkuzw6tgf8txvo/ResetMusicAndVideosLibraries.mobilecon fig
After installing this disable iTunes match, then go to Settings -> Music -> Reset Music and Video Library, reenable itunes match and it should begin to download all your artwork again.
In the artist view it still doesn't seem to be showing the iTunes artist images that it was showing on my 4s and is showing on my ipad mini, but at least it's showing album artwork.

OSX Server Mobile Account Greyed out after initial setup?

I just setup a new install of Mountain Lion on an iMac and installed Server.app to set it up as a server. I activated Open Directory and configured it for a few users (with NFS mounted home directories from a Linux NFS server). I then logged into the iMac with one of these users and it asked me if I wanted to make them a mobile user. I did as this will activate the Portable Home Directory function. It asked me what I would like to sync and then setup the user as normal. Now the issue I have is with any subsequent login of that user if I go to the Users & Groups sys pref panel the Mobile Account "Configure" button is greyed out. Syncing can still work from the menu bar pull down but I can no longer change any of my sync preferences. I've gone through the settings in default read com.apple.homeSync but nothing in there seems to affect that button being greyed out. To eliminate the NFS server as a possible cause I setup a local network user with local storage on the server and it acts the same way after setting up as a mobile account. Any ideas on what causes this?

I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

Apps are greyed out when syncing

When syncing my son's iPod, the apps on the computer screen are greyed out. The check mark is there, but it is greyed out as well so I am not able to select or deselect apps. What it this and how do I fix it?

I solved it. The restrictions were disabled so I enabled them. The grey immediately went away. Then after syncing I disabled them again so the little one can't download apps.
Thanks anyway

Why do some of my contacts profile pictures appear as a blue square after syncing with facebook?

Hi,
After syncing facebook friends with contacts, some of the profile pictures in contacts are replaced with a blue square.
Any ideas?

Greetings. Allow me to expand, please. I downloaded pictures from internet, as a collection with different themes directly from Internet. I only downloaded jpeg files or images. I organized my themes by folders on my desktop, then I copied some of them in a small 250gb external hard drive… But that´s just incidental. Whenever i had a folder of images that I wanted to play as a presentation, I just dragged the folder to the Iphoto main page and Iphoto just copies them and makes a file under the same name as the original folder. Of course I also have images of my own production, which are my main concern. But threee or four times, Iphoto said that I had inconsistencies in my pictures and I just had to agree to fix them. This operation could take up to a couple of hours por more...
But since I installed Yosemite, this glitch or question of inconsistencies, has not happened again, but somtimes, as I scroll through the folders in Iphoto, to edit some of the images or delete them, some of them become just a dotline square… I cannot see the image anymore, and when I do a presentation of the folders, these blaced out images appear in the show, as a black square or screen. I hope this information helps to answer your questions… Thank you for helping me.
