HELP! iTunes won't sync iPhoto Library to iPhone 6

PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.
I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption
Itunes software issue
After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating
Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

Itunes won't sync music to my Iphone 5C

Okay so I've been reading what everyone has said to do when itunes won't sync to your phone and I've tried EVERYTHING!!! My phone still isn't syncing. I have a Toshiba laptop which has windows 8 & I don't know what else to do. Please someone help me. I'm starting to get ****** off because everyone else has figured out a way to get it to work but I can't. My computer recognizes my phone but itunes doesn't. Any suggestions?!

Cannot sync iPhoto library to iPhone

When I plug my iPhone 4 into my Mac to sync, iTunes does not appear to detect my iPhoto library. Activating the "Sync Photos from 'iPhoto'" option does not allow me to select individual albums, faces, etc. to sync. Attempting to sync result in the error "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone 'Kyle Cunanan's iPhone' because your iPhoto Library could not be found. Open iPhoto to create or update your iPhoto Library." Opening iPhoto shows no problems. All my photos are still there, just as I've left them.

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars
Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums

ITunes won't sync from Mac to iPhone 6

I have a MacBook Pro using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
I use iTunes 12.1.26.
I recently bought an iPhone 6, 64gb version 8.1.2 and am trying to put the music I have on iTunes on my Mac into my new iPhone 6.
It's not working.
I connect the two via the USB cable that came with the phone, and the Mac registers that they are connected. While the two are connected I can play songs from my Mac on the iPhone if I have Home Sharing switched on, but that is it. When I try to sync them and transfer songs over, it says that the sync is in progress, and goes through 4 syncing steps in order; however the total time is only about 4 seconds and no music transfers. The total music is about 11gb and the iPhone does register that about that much memory should be used up by a sync. I have pressed every 'sync' button I can find more times than I can count and nothing works.
I have absolutely no idea what to do and no forum that I have been on yet has an explanation.
If anyone has any ideas for how to help me (using basic terms please because I'm not that savvy with computers) I would really appreciate it.

mine will appear to sync then after its complete the display bar showing memory usage immediately retracts to how it was before syncing. I've tried turning off my phone and re-downloading the latest iTunes, I have a mac book pro. please help I only got a phone with a lot of memory so that I could have music!

My iTunes won't sync music to my iPhone

Ever since I updated my Macbook to OS X Mavericks, my iTunes will not sync my downloaded music onto my iPhone 5. When I plug my iPhone in with the cable and sync, it does steps 1 and 2 in the sync process, skips 3-5, and then just finishes with step 6. If I create playlists and download music from my phone, it all transfers to my Mac, but if I download music and create playlists from my Mac, it won't show up on my phone. If I turn on Home Sharing, everything shows up, but I don't really want to have that on all the time and I still want to be able to listen to all my music while I'm traveling. I have plenty of space on my iPhone so I know that is not the problem. I was hoping it was a glitch in the Mavericks software and the updates would fix it, but I've had no luck so far. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Dear smart people at Apple
I've worked out why my songs wouldn't download, you'd moved it all to iCloud. In the process, losing over 300 songs. Now I know I had a fair amount of illegal downloads in my itunes but who gave you permission to go in there and delete them? not really on that is it? plus you've deleted songs that i'd put on from CD! what's all that about? I actually went through the effort of buying a CD (a very old fashioned way these days, you probably send songs via thought waves at head office) which i've paid for and since that time got rid of the CD thinking my songs would be safe. You don't know how cross I am.
Queen collection - gone
Stone Roses - gone
U2 - gone (mostly for the best)
S Club 7 - gone (definitely bought that)
Come on chaps, fancy giving me my music back, that I partially paid for?
Thanks, a ****** off iPhone and Itunes customer.
Oh by the why whilst I'm here, i'm on my 2nd iPhone 5 as the first was faulty from the start as the 'genius' who designed it, and the moron who manufactured it forgot to put the glue on the back of the battery. Therefore instead of iPhone I bought an iRattle. Sort it out man. You used to be great, and now, well I just don't know.

ITunes won't sync everything from my iPhone 4 because my iPhone has had two different names! Please help

my iPhone 4 has had two different names and when I try to sync with iTunes on my HP laptop running Windows 8 it will only sync certain songs and apps, even though I have used the same Apple ID. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Please!

cutwright 93,
I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
(I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
1. On the phone, go to Music.
2. Click "More."
3. Click "Shared."
4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

ITunes won't sync or back up iPhone 4.

I tried uninstalling everything on the computer and then re-installed it all, and nothing works! Every time I try to sync the phone it freezes at "backing up". iTunes is running the most current version, but it won't let me install the newest 5.0.1 on the iPhone because it keeps freezing during the back up. I haven't been able to sync/back-up since I upgraded the iPhone's software a couple weeks ago to 5.0.
Please help!!!

I spoke to customer service and they said to reset your iphone by holding down both the power and round button at the same time to reboot. Should have never downloaded the IOS 5.0.1 There's no other solution but to reboot everytime your Iphone 4s freezes.... Hope this helps

ITunes won't sync music to my iphone.

A little context. I've always shared an itunes account with my cousin and all our songs would be the same. But to make this possible i would have to meet him and sync my iphone on his computer. But i have my own computer now with alot of different songs and would like to sync the new songs and get rid of all the old songs on my phone.
Whenever i hit the "sync" button it makes a little notification button but does nothing. It also greys out and when i uncheck "sync music" and hit "apply" still nothing happens. Also when i hit "back up now" nothing happens aswell. Therefor since im not very tech savvy i dont wanna risk restoring my phone and potentially screwing everything up and deleting it all. I can't manually drag songs into the "on this iphone" option either. Any advice would be much apprieciated.

iOS devices sync with one and only one computer.
Attempts to sync to a different computer will remove all the media on the iOS device and replace it with media from the new computer/library.

ITunes won't sync album artwork on iPhone 4s, Software 6.1.3

So I bought a new laptop and wanted to sync my music but it told me that I had to delete it in order to be used with a new computer. I did so because I have it backed up. Now when I try to drag music into it, it syncs but no matter what I do the album artwork doesn't show up in my iPhone but I have it my library. Its starting to really frustrate me. I tried copying and pasting the artwork when my iPhone is connected but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

I want to second this problem. The only difference is that I'm on an iPhone 5. I can delete most songs by swiping my finger across them and hitting the delete button, but every once in a while a song can't be swiped... nothing happens. I have tried looking for something in common with the songs, but have not come up with anything.

Help, icloud won't sync with outlook and iphone

I downloaded the iCloud from iTunes and now my Outlook no longer syncs with my iPhone. It worked perfectly before. Now when I make an entry in my phone it doesn't sync with my PC. This is so annoying, and has cost me dearly with missed appointments. I would like to disable it and go back to how it was but don't know how. Or fix it. I've read the posts and I'm so confused by the different responses that I am going crazy. Please someone just give me a simple solution to either fix this problem or to get rid of iCloud.
Thanks, much appreciated

SOLUTION POSTED THIS ELSEWHERE ON APPLE.COM
TeddyDo wrote: Hi, I have just found a great solution for syncing up Outlook default folders with iCloud folders and thought I wuold share it with you. The Control Panel still needs to be installed but the new iCloud folders can be synced with default calendars in real time by means of CodeTwo Sync for iCloud. Seems to be working great so far:
http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/
Works with calendars, tasks and contacts.
Thanks TeddyDo...this works for us to. We (my wife and I) each have an iPhone 4S that we sync with our outllook 2010 on our home PC. after a little bit of reconciliation they all sync real-time! OUTSTANDING
worth adding a couple of additional bits of info.
check out the CodeTwo website videos as they are really easy to follow (2 minutes) and the software does it all for you, barring a little bit on the intial configuration, which is why I thought I would type up what to look out for.
only works (supported) if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7
assuming you already have outlook installed, first install install iCloud
go to www.apple.com/icloud and set up the syncs (what you want to sync)
iCloud will have set up a iCloud Calendar in Outlook and you will see that it has probably moved all the data out of the default folder onto the iCloud folder so they are out of sync
install CodeTwo sync for iCloud http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/ it cost $10, if you live in the EU it will stupidly ask you for your VAT number, if like me this is for personal use rather than a company it is a pain, but if you put your country as say USA and pay by paypal it works
if you have Norton 360 you will need to go to 'manage the firewall' and 'allow' CodeTwo (which is C2...) otherwise Norton wont allow it to sync.
configure CodeTwo by going to the settings button on the Outlook top bar/ribbon and select which folders you wish to sync and you probably want to go for two-way.
if you are viewing both the iCloud and default calendars you will see that they should start to sync, this may intially take 10 minutes or so as it is making sure they are identical - there is a manage conflicts calendar that is worth flicking through in case there is anything there.
you need to go throught the same process for the contacts (i have 1500 of them so it took10 mins) and then tasks, reminders, etc
they should all (PC, iCloud and iPhones)be synced, but your iPhone calendar will seem as if it has duplicated the lot...it hasn't it is just that it is displaying both the PC calendar and iCloud calendar and they are now identical. go to the iPhone Calendar and tick only the iCloud calendar and your duplicates disappear. contacts etc shouldnt need that attention as it doesnt show duplicates, although if like me you may have some old unreconciled conflicts (historically using iTunes to sync PC and iCloud - not CodeTwo's fault) to deal with, but I should have dealt with that before.
we have multiple PC/laptops at home and given this success we have been thinking about syncing a couple of PCs so we can both be clearing down our outlook emails and all our emails sync. CodeTwo do a couple of similar syncing packages to do that...one for simply two PCs and one for multiple PCs across a home network, giving you most of the functionality of MS Exchange at home...will post something if we go for it, but confident it will probably work.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!
