  • Unable to sync photos to computer due to extended vacation.

    I am currently on an extended vacation so i havent been able to sync my phone to my computer for months, but i need to upgrade to the 5s. When I upgrade will they be able put all of my pictures onto the new 5S?

    Make sure you have enough space on iCloud and do a back up to iCloud while conneted to wi-fi with internet connections. That way when you upgrade you can do a restore from that back up.

  • Unable to sync photos to my iPAD

    I am unable to sync photos with my iPad.  Both computer and iPad have the most recent updates.  Only a few photos sync.  I have plenty of memory.

    Nothing more to add other than what you mean is that you have plenty of storage capacity. If you truly have plenty of memory - you should remember this from now on ...memory would be the RAM and storage capacity is the amount of space available on the device for you to add apps, movies, books, etc.

    Everytime I try to sync my photos to iPad or my iPhone. The sync freezes for a whilie then comes back with "the disk cannot be read from or written to". I have already exported photo library from iPhoto and readded the photos.

  • Unable to sync photos from iPhoto to Apple TV

    I am using iphoto5.0.4 and am unable to sync photos. I select the photo album and click on the "apply" button which greys out for a while and then reverts. When I click on "my photos" in Apple TV I get the message that "There are no photos on your Apple TV." The ATV is able to stream photos from my Powerbook G4 just fine. When I go to "Screen Saver" on the ATV it is only able to access Apple Photos. I upgraded the ATV software without effect. What am I doing wrong?

    On the tv you should have selected 'settings/computers/connect to itunes library', I think you likely selected 'settings/computers/connect to shared library'. You may have to select your current shared library and unlink it before you can set it up properly but I'm not too sure as I've not had to do it myself.

  • Unable to sync photos to iPad

    Unable to sync photos to iPad since installing iOS 5

    Thanks Leonie. I removed the iPod Photo Cache and tried again, but still no luck
    Is enough space on your device for all photos?
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
    Are the recent photos o.k.? Do they show, when you enlarge them? Can you edit them?
    Have you repaired the permissions in your iPhoto Library or repaired the library?  You can repair the iPhoto Library using the First Aid Tools:
    Try to launch into the First Aid Tools  by holding down the key combination option-command ⌥⌘ and clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto.
    Keep the two buttons firmly held down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
    Then select "Repair permissions".
    Repeat with "Repair database", if the first repair did not help.

  • Unable to sync photos from iPhoto

    Got an 8GB iPod Touch yesterday. I can sync everything except my photos from iPhoto. When I go to the Photo tab in iTunes, I place a tick in the check-box that says "Sync photos from:" and then I select iPhoto from the Combo-box. There are 2 radio buttons but only "All photos and albums" is available... "Selected Albums" is greyed out. The box below the radio buttons is also grey and has no entries.
    If I try to sync "All photos and albums" I get an error message on my computer that reads: "The iPod [iPod name] cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    Software updates have all been applied, I have restored my iPod, have verified and fixed file permissions, etc. I have rebuilt the iPhoto library (Command-Option). Both iTunes and iPhoto have been working fine, with no other problems. I am using iLife '08 so I am using iPhoto '08 (version 7.1 (347)).
    Has anyone any experience with the problem? I'm thinking that my next step is to reinstall iPhoto/iTunes but I would much rather not have to do that... any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Bill
    P.S. I can sync photos from my desktop, just not from iPhoto '08.
    P.P.S. My 5th gen video iPod can sync photos from my iPhoto library!

    Hi Damon,
    Thanks for the update and the suggestion of trying a new user account... I don't know why that didn't occur to me. Well, you will not be too surprised to hear that with a new user account the photos synced no problem.
    That leaves me with an iPhoto library rebuild on my hands. The Apple provided rebuild didn't resolve my issue when I tried it last week. So I will need to do a manual rebuild... something which I have done once before but vowed never to do again as I lost hundreds of hours of work organising and tagging my photos... something which I have invested considerable time in recovering and don't want to lose them again.
    With Leopard around the corner, I will be performing a clean install of the new OS on a fresh HDD within the month, so I am going to recreate my iPhoto library that way... rather than invest time now only to see it wasted later.
    Thanks once again for the pointers to those Apple docs... most useful.
    Kind regards,
    William

  • Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad?  I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1.  Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

    I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad)  from computer to Ipad.  It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update.  I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

    My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
    I've restarted my iPhone.
    Restarted my iMac.
    Re-installing iTunes.
    Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
    Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
    All with no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Deleting synced photos after computer crash

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble deleting photos I synced with my friend's iPod. My friend let me borrow it for a few weeks and I had synced photos onto it from my computer. However, within the timespan that I had the iPod, my computer crashed and I had to completely restore it, so I had to re-download iTunes. Now, my friend wants the iPod back, but I cannot delete the photos I had previously added. I want to keep everything else that is on the iPod, so I don't want to do a full restore. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    It is really pretty straight forward. This will delete all of the synced photos on your iPad.
    Connect your iPad to your computer with the cable.
    Launch iTunes - it it does not start up on its own.
    Make sure that you see the sidebar on the left side, and you can ensure that you see it, by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.
    Click on your iPad name under the Devices heading in the left sidebar.
    Click on the Photos Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right side
    Uncheck the box next to Sync Photos from heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to initiate the sync.

  • After updating iOS 6 in my iPod Touch 4th Gen, my Synced photos from computer are all gone. The remaining pictures are only in the Camera Roll. HELP THANKS :)

    Hello! I updated my itouch 4g with iOS 6 using iTunes at Windows 7. After updating, my musics and videos are still there but my synced photos from the computer are lost. The only remaining photos are from the Camera Roll. I lost 4000 photos. What will I do to restore them? Thanks for thise who will help :)

    You need to obtain the synced photos from where you obtained them the first time. Synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of an update or restore.
