HT4236 Many Storage & Syncing Photos Questions for a Genius
I am using Windows Live Photo gallery to import pictures taken on my iphone to the My Pictures folder on Windows 7 and choose the option to delete these images from the device during transfer.
At the same time, I have iTunes configured to automatically synchronize the My Pictures folder onto the iPhone.
I'm a bit confused and concerned if I'm messing this up both by opting to "delete images from device" during photo import and at the same time "synchronize".
Is it smart enough to know what photos are new and have never been transferred vs. photos that are sourced from the PC and synced?
Can someone please comment on this?
When syncing photos to the iPhone, is there downscaling of the image happening so that it is lower resolution on the iPhone than the source image on the PC?
Further, what happens when you exceed the storage capacity on your iOS from syncing so many photos?
I'm not there yet, but will be soon. Will it start to drop the "oldest" pictures first?
Where is the option to specify a threshold for how much storage on the iOS device should be dedicated to photos vs. music? I don't want all these pictures eating into space I could use for music.
So many questions!
Well for the first part of your question "Itunes says 6.96 GB ipod says Used: 7.26GB" thats where you have a playlist or something selected in iTUnes.
If you have a playlist highlighted in iTUnes, it shows the size of everything in the playlist, not the main library. Then when you connect the ipod, the ipod part shows the total size used on the ipod, in other words the whole size of the library.
FOr the fragment part of your question, NO do not fragment it with windows. It doesn't matter how fragmented the harddrive on the ipod is because its accessing only music. You use the ipod updater to restore an ipod, which basicly formats and defrags a ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/

HT4236 if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens
if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens
The transfer of photos from an iPhone to a Mac is an import. It is very similar to what happens when you move photos from any camera to the Mac (if you have ever done that). Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
The iTunes sync can move photos the other direction (Mac to iPhone). That "sync" works the same way each time you do it -- it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes photo page settings. Instructions for that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 -

Hi there, when i sync between my Ipad 2 & Mac book pro, not all the photos make it.
Anyone have any ideas, its quite frustrating
All boxes are ticked for full transfer,
best wishesTry deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they all then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page.

Trying to clean up my photos. I created a folder and put only the photos I want on my iPhone into it. I then connect my 4s to iTunes and go to the photos tab and choose sync selected folder and choose the folder. The problem is all of the photos were added to Photo Library and then it also added the folder name I synced to and added the same photos in there too. So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Library and a NEW folder. I just want camera roll and my new folder. How do I delete all of the photos and just get the ones I want on there? I used the exact same process with my iPad3 and it worked fine.
Well I got the iPad today and can confirm the photos sync is not a windows only problem. I have a Mac and am having issues. I will refer to the other thread to see if there is a fix. Also, I don't think that the new iPad screen is quite as good as the iphone 4, there's a slight subtle yellowish tinge to it. Is this normal or is mine faulty. It's fairly subtle but enough to amke me notice it straight away, and gets more noticeable if you look at the screen from a slight angle. The greater the angle you look at it from the more yellowing there is.

HT4236 Trying to sync photos from iphone to ipad?
Ideas anyone? Through itunes, it looks like you can only do it by pulling photos from your iphone to your computer and vice versa.
If they are in the Camera Roll, both devices use the same Apple ID and PhotoStream is enabled, they should sync up by default.
Otherwise copy the pictures off the device to a computer. Using iTunes, sync the photos from the computer to the device(s) via iTunes. -
I am trying to sync photograpghs from my PC to my ipad but it is saying ITunes cannot sync apps to the ipad "user's ipad" because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined. I have no idea what that means. Can anyone help?
I'm sorry about your loss.
Are you trying to recover data from this iPad, or to set it up as new (erase everything on it, and simply use the iPad as if it were brand new as your new iPad)?
If the latter, you can place the iPad into recovery mode as shown here. You may have to try this several times:

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to import photos/videos to the iPad.
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.)

ITunes 12.1.2.27 no option for application to sync photos from
I am having a problem with iTunes 12.1.2.27 not providing an option to select an application to sync photos from for my iPhone 6. Is anyone having similar issues?
Before everyone starts, yes, I have the latest version of iTunes, yes I have the latest version of iOS. I am trying to use Photos on my Macbook Pro to sync the pictures from a specific album to my iPhone 6.
Any and all information is appreciated!Have you seen any other strings that are shedding any light on this issue? It's really becoming an issue for me & my family.

Backwards sync??? Taking pre-synced photos off iPhone
Long story short, I have a few hundred pics from my PC synced to my iPhone, formatted my HDD, didn't back up photos. D'oh! Does anybody know ANY WAY of taking the photos that were previousely synced from the PC (i.e. NOT shot from the iPhone's camera) and putting them back on the PC? My backup CD for photos is like a year old.
I know Apple's products aren't designed to do simple things like this, which is why iPhone is the only Apple product I have, but I know there are also usually ways to get around it. I remember a friend found a way to get his music off of his iPod because he lost everything on his PC. This is the same deal, only replace iPdo with iPhone and music with photos. Thanks guys

Syncing Photo Folders; iTunes adds 2,000 photos also?
Hello all,
I click Sync Photos on iPad and iPhone sync. I select (create) a folder and add sub folders in it, with photos in the sub folders. I select that main folder as the folder to sync photos with for iPad and iPhone.
I sync my devices, and where I should have 200 or 300 photos, I have 2,338 photos.....
Now, I navigated around these Discussions and it seems that others have this problem. It seems to be a bug. No one seems to have a work around. With iPad, the extra photos are poured into the Photos/Photos section. Oddly, I cannot even find these photos on my iMac HD, so I have no idea where they came from. Tons and tons of photos that are not in the synced folders I ticked.
Apple, please fix this bug... 2,338 photos is ALOT....
lhGoodness, I feel bad... I found a folder that had been accidentally dropped into a sub folder in my iPad photo folders.
I learned that all photos in the main 'photo folder structure' will be included in the main 'Photos' section in your iPhone and iPad and iPod Touch. So if you have photos you do not want on your devices, (like 2000 photos), just not 'unchecking the folders' will keep them off of your device. You 'must' take the photos folders 'out' of the folder structure you have synced to. That will keep them out and keep some room on your device.
2,338, lol... Thats alot of photos.
My apologies for thinking it was a bug. Truly, I think that 'unticked folder's (folders selected only) is a bug, but I had found out what was going on with my system. If you select a main folder to sync with, and you have sub folders, and you tick 'sync selected folders only', then the 'excess and unchecked' folders SHOULD NOT go into the device... right?
