HT4236 My photos will not sync to my ipad.

I was going to update some pictures that I wanted to have on my ipad from my computer.  I have a seperate file folder that I use to put those pictures in.  They have always snyc just fine.  Now this morning it will not ..
Updates are current.

Ok so I had attitude - This being new to iPad/iCloud etc is very frustrating and I hate not knowing. The problem with ignorance is that you don't know what you don't know, so providing info can be a challenge. Being made to feel dumb doesn't help. I'm an older lady who doesn't understand the ins and outs of all this technology.
I have a brand new iPad, and a Macbook Pro which is rather elderly, with  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 operating system. (I have bought Snow Leopard but haven't installed it on laptop after loads of issues with the installation on my iMac)
I gather that to sync all of my iTunes/iPhoto etc., I would need to have the most recent operating system available. (I have no idea what that is) My iPhone & Ipad are ok with my address book, mail, etc., but not the iTunes/iPhoto. As I need the iPad as a portable gallery of my paintings it's quite important to me that I get iPhoto. I discovered that I could email images to myself then save them onto the iPad, but clearly that's not a practical solution. I gather also that photos I take with my iPad and iPhone sync automatically, but it's other images I want on there. When I connect the iPad to my laptop, I can't just drag the files into it (like an iPod) so what to do?

  • Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

    So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    any body?

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

    I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

    Hi sueb21,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
    The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
    After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all.

    certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all. Photos are from the same camera and should all be in the same format.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    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.)

  • Aperture 3.0.3 will not sync images with iPad via iTunes correctly

    I've read the forums looking for a solution to why my Aperture 3 library will not sync with my iPad when it is connected in iTunes. I have tried creating another Aperture library (which I then fill with a few images) and iTunes is able to see and import images onto my iPad. But when I switch back to my real Aperture library, iTunes can show the folders and projects but the number of photos in the folders and projects is not showing at all (i.e. 0). The sync process just hangs and does not continue from that point.
    I've also tried another suggestion about repairing permissions, removing the .aplibrary extention and using a new "dummy" library and then switching back to the original library. Nothing seems to work. It just seems buggy and slow i.e. spinning beach ball. Otherwise (beyond syncing to the iPad) Aperture runs fine, exports, e-mails, adjustments all works fine and quickly.
    I have a fast 1TB hard drive WD Caviar Black with 32 MB cache and only 350 Gigs used as the system hard drive. The Aperture library is located on the system disk and the referenced files are on a FW800 external drive.
    Anyone having these same issues? I can't seem to figure it out.
    I guess the only workaround at this point is to just export the photos I want to sync to my iPad into another folder or into iPhoto and import them that way. But it's rather annoying to have a "professional" application which doesn't seem to work as advertised (if Aperture is indeed the culprit).

    Here is what I have found out. iTunes will only sync to the last Aperture 3 library opened, and will only update when you close Aperture 3 and then reopen iTunes. Thats the building shared previews thing I guess.
    I am using iPhoto to sync photos to my iPad and iPhone, not Aperture 3. I export from Aperture 3 as original size JPG then bring in the exported photos into iPhoto. That way I can have multiple Aperture 3 Libraries and not have to worry about iTunes finding the wrong stuff. I know it takes out some of the automagic stuff but at least it works. But remember to close both iPhoto and iTunes before you try to sync, then reopen iTunes. I don't resize any of the photos for the device I let iTunes do that for me.
    Hope this helps

  • HT203180 I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully.

    I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.

    I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem

  • Photos will not sync to iPhoto

    Photos that I take with my iPhone appear fine on the phone, but will not sync (unreadable file) or are corrupt (blackout or whiteout stripes or funky neon colors). I read another post that asked about other items plugged into the USB port, but all I have is a wireless Apple mouse that uses a DLINK bluetooth adapter in the USB port next to the one my iPhone is using. This is the second consecutive set of photos I cannot download, so it is not the photos themselves, but something else.

    Ziggy,
    Just so you know, iPhone's email shrinks the images to 640 x 480 for sending. The only way to get a full quality image off your camera is by syncing so you need to get that problem resolved. Do you have your iPhone connected by a USB hub or are there any other USB devices connected to your computer? It's been reported that these can garble photos. Make sure your iPhone is plugged directly to the computer USB port and nothing else is connected. Also sometimes scanner software can be trying to access a USB port even when not plugged in.
