HT4236 I can't see a photos tab on my itunes screen -is it hidden somewhere?

I have new ipad 2 just purchased.  I have updated to the latest versions of ios 5.1  iTunes says my software is up to date, but under the device my ipad only shows 'music', 'movies', 'tv shows' and then categories of music such as classical etc.  My understanding is that to enable me to load photos from my pc (not a mac) I should be able to see a 'photos' tab.  Have I missed setting up something?

You are looking on the wrong side of iTunes - the Photos tab appears on the right-hand side of the iTunes window when you've selected the iPad under 'Devices' on the left-hand side i.e. the same as the other tabs that you use to sync content the iPad.

  • HT4236 I can't see any photos when ipad is plugged into computer.

    I can't see any photos in itunes when ipad is plugged into computer.
    Everything else shows up.

    I have a similar problem Win 8 iCloud 3. Shared photostreams sync ok and my photostream syncs on other devices. Interesting enough, when I access photostream through the "my computer" option on Apple TV I see a whack of pictures that don't appear on any of my IOS or Windows Photostreams.

  • I can't see the photo tab when trying to sync my iphone from itunes

    For some reason, all the tabs are not showing on itunes when trying to sync my iphone. The 'photos' tab in particular is missing. It shows I can scroll to the right to possibly see the rest of the tabs, but when I scroll across to the right, it moves the whole page across, but nothing from itunes moves across with the page. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I hope you can help.

    Sorry, it's probably really easy to do, but I'm not sure how to change it. I have a Mac book. Can you help? It's strange that it seems to be the only tab missing, and only when I connect my iphone to sync, it doesn't happen when I sync my ipod. It's weird, and it never used to disappear. I need the photo tab back
    Sorry, and thanks to anyone that can help

  • HT2905 I can't see the file tab on my itunes

    I'm trying to find out my duplicate songs, and I've looked for that "file" button but I cannot find it.
    I'm on a windows laptop.

    Make sure you have updated to iTunes 11.0.1 (or later). In Music use the Songs view, or select the List view for other media (Edit > Preferences > General > Show list views for all media). Enable the menu bar with ctrl-b. Use View > Display Duplicates or, more usefully,  hold Shift and use View > Display Exact Duplicates.
    Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

  • I Don't See a Photo Tab Anywhere - Can't Add or Delete Photos

    I want to add (synch) photos to my iPod Touch and I also want to delete some photos from the Touch as well. I am told to connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes and then select my iPod in the Device menu on the left. I am then told to click on the "Photo Tab" that appears in the resulting window.
    There isn't any Photo Tab in the window. The tabs I see are, from left: Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, T.V. Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU and Books. That's it. I am running iTunes 9.2.0.61.
    At the bottom of the Mike's (that's me) iPod screen, it shows that I have 67 photos on my iPod Touch, which is correct.
    But how am I going to add or delete photos if I can't see a Photos tab?

    Thank you. That was the problem. I regularly keep my resolution at 800x600 which is the lowest you can get. I do that because the higher resolutions cause my eyes to burn. But I pay a price for that - usually what has happened here. I won't be able to "X out" of a screen, because there is no way to do it. There is - I just can't see it because the resolution needs to be cranked up a tad.
    Anyway, Photo Tab now fully in view. Good work.

  • I have tried everything, but still I can't locate the photos tab in iTunes...I have tried changing the resolution, started iTunes after connecting with the ipad2, nothing seems to work! please advise!

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

  • I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

    I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

  • Can't see my photos or album artwork in iPod

    I recently had to recover all my music, pictures, and videos back into iTunes from my iPod. I can play all my music and videos just fine. The problem is that I can't see my photos in my iPod anymore. When I go to the library in my iPod then there are a lot of "blank photos," like they're there but they aren't visible. iTunes says that the photos have been synced with no problem to my iPod. Please help.

    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click on the Music tab.
    Tick Display artwork on you iPod.
    If you cannot see it, make sure your screen resolution is set to at least 1024x768.

  • TS3989 I have set up my new iPad Air by restoring from the latest backup from my iPad2. However i can only see the photos from before Jan this year and none of the photoI have taken since then. I cn see the new photos on my iPhone ne old iPad, ny ideas?

    Could anyone help with my question above please?

    Were the missing photos in the camera roll on your iPad 2?  The backup only includes camera roll photos.
    If they were, but were not restored from the backup, if you still have the iPad 2, import the missing photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) then put them in a folder and sync them to your new iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (The only downside of this approach is that the only way they can later be deleted from your iPad is to sync them off again using iTunes.  To get them in your camera roll you would need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them from your computer to the camera roll on your new iPad using you wifi.)

  • Can't see all photos on Camera Roll on laptop

    I have a slightly unusual problem with my iPhone. I have downlaoded quite a few camera and photo apps from the app store. All of these work fine on the phone itself and I can view all pictures taken and edited with the various apps on the camera roll on the phone. My problem occurs when I connect my iPhone to my laptop and access it using Windows Explorer. When I do this I can only see the photos taken on some of the apps and not all of them. Photos taken using ClassicPAN, ClassicToy, ShakeItPhoto, Pro HDR, Pano to name a few can't be found. If I want to transfer photos from any of these apps to my laptop I have to email them but I have hundreds of photos so this is not feasible. I have a brand new Samsung laptop so maybe some of the settings are wrong but I don't even khow where to begin looking. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

    What visual presentation do the other 900 photos have? A Dotted Square? Do you get a ! or ? when you double click on them?
    IF so: The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • I have lost all my events, now i can only see my photos in the photos section /ee

    I HAVE LOST MY ALL MY EVENTS, NOW I CAN ONLY SEE MY PHOTOS IN THE PHOTOS SECTION. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ?

    Never heard of that before. Events and Photos are exactly the same thing, just presented in a different way.
    What version of iPhoto? Can you give us a full description of what you see in the Events section?
    Finally, please don't type in block capitals They are harder to read and it feels to the reader like you're shouting at everybody.

  • I can only see one photo at a time

    I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?
    Regards.

    How can I see my photos on icloud

    Enable photo stream on your iOS device (in Settings>iCloud>Photos), or set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  Note: this will allow you to access my photo stream photos from the last 30 days and any shared streams you are subscribed to.

    Aperture is an Apple product for photo managment. Compared to iPhoto0 bigger, more control, more editing, and more expensive.
