I can no longer sync my photos. I used to be able to. Last time I successfully synced pictures was April. Any recommendations?

I have not been able to sync pictures since May. What changed? I had been able to sync pictures for many years. Any ideas on how to correct this? I updated all software. Camera hasn't changed.

Are you talking about syncing pictures that are you located on your PC? If so, have you double check to make sure the Sync Photos option was ticked from under your iPod's Photos tab? See this article for more assistance.

Are you getting any error messages when trying to sync photos?

I can no longer upload my photo files to my gallery website at Fine Art America when nobody else is having any problems.

I have tried for days to upload different photo files with no result. Makes me wonder if it's related to java not being supported in firefox 6.
*edited* I just downloaded chrome and I am finally able to upload my artwork. Firefox was always my browser of choice until this happened. Please please please fix this issue so I can go back to using it as my default browser!

You can also check your security software (firewall, anti-virus) to make sure that that isn't blocking the uploads

Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
- Firewall is off
- Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
- I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
Specs:
iMac G5 PowerPC
Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
iTunes 7.4.2
I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
AC

I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto. I keep getting the following error:
"The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

I can no longer sync my photos since ios6. Any advise?

Since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S I can no longer sync my photos in iPhoto via iTunes.
The sync photos is checked but only the sync all option is available and the sync fails at the photo step with an unknown error.
All apps and OS's are current and otherwise functioning properly. Any thoughts?

I'm seeing the same problem. The sync from iTunes stops when starting to sync photos and the "Unknown Error 1140" message appears. I tried several times, then decided to uncheck the Photos Sync in iTunes. The sync then proceeded without problems (without the photos of course).
My feeling is that I don't really need to sync the photos as I'm using Photo Stream and save all photos (taken with the iPhone) to the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll photos are then saved to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. I tend not to have other albums on my iPhone (other than a few test albums) - just use the Camera Roll basically.
I'm using an iPhone 4S with iOS 6 and the latest iPhoto 9.4 - also the latest Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I can no longer sync my phone with photos library?

I can no longer sync photos on my phone with the "iPhoto" or the new "photos" library. I can only select folders in my "pictures" tab, the library icons themselves are greyed out and unavailable for selection
Is there anyone else who's experiencing difficulties with photo synchronisation?

same problem here. Am very frustrated hopefully apple fixes this soon becuase my phone almost feels useless now because i cannot customise it with my own things from my computer! gah!

Can no longer sync photos to my iPod Photo

Without any change in hardware, but AFTER installing iTunes 7 via Software Update, I can no longer sync photos to my iPod. (I have had no problems syncing music, pictures, contacts and calendars since purchasing an iMac G5 "iSight" 15 months ago.)
Music appears to sync correctly, as do calendars and contacts. But after trying to sync photos, iTunes stops with the following message: "The iPod 'my iPod' could not be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I have Restored my iPod and attempted to sync, but receive the same message.
I REPLACED my iPod's hard drive! Upon syncing, I receive the same message.
I deleted iPhoto Library/iPod photo cache folder and was then able to sync photos to iPod, BUT upon reopening iPhoto, and a forced reindex (?) of pictures resulted in about 1/3 missing.
After restoring the iPhoto Library from a backup, syncing the iPod results in the same original error. Deselecting syncing photos in iTunes removes photos from iPod, but upon syncing, same error message.
Restoring iPod again, results in same error message.
Does anyone have a solution? What required file is missing?

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices. Any thoughts

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices.
iTunes sync error at the photo sync step with an unknown error 1140.
I have restarted everything, unsynced & attempted re sync to no avail.
The photo sync screen only allows me to select the sync all option, the select specific events, albums etc . Choice is greyed out.
This is true for both my iPhone 4S and ipad2.

Can no longer sync Ipod.

I was syncing my ipod after adding some new things to my library and it told me that there wasn't enough space on my ipod, should it create a playlist and just sync that instead.
I clicked yes not really playing much attention, and then after looking at the playlist it was syncing realised that I didn't want it to do tat as some of my favourtie songs might not have ended up on my ipod, so I deleted the playlist. Now I can no longer sync my ipod at all as a message comes up saying something about it not being able to sync as not all playlists are present.
How can I fix this? I go on holiday on Friday with my dad I need my ipod!!

as a message comes up saying something about it not being able to sync as not all playlists are present.
Here's one way around that. First, in itunes, work out what plylists you want to synch to the iPod and/or create additional playlists containg the material you want to sync to the iPod.
Now plug in the iPod. When it connects, in iTunes click on the Music tab for the iPod. Under "Sync Music" you will currently have "selected playlists" selected.
In the list of playlists beneath that, deselect the playlists that you deleted earlier, and select the playlists that you do want to sync to the iPod. Then click the "Apply" button.

Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

I can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes since upgrading to Itunes 7. When I try it freezes my Itunes and I have to force quit the application. Anyone else know how to solve this? Anyone else having this problem?

HT201412 Voice Memos quits/can no longer sync iphone 4 - linked problem

Voice Memos quits after two seconds of opening AND can no longer sync phone iphone4 to itunes, tried resetting, but don't want to restore phone to factory settings as I have important recordings I want to use. Help!!
I've taken itunes off computer and downloaded it again (suggested by other forum). No joy...
The two problems seemed to happen simultaneously.

diesel vdub - thanks for your comment.
As noted in my post:
"Another problem is that I have thousands of music files on my iPhone, and only 180 songs are now showing up in the iTunes library. The majority of songs in both iTunes library and the music library on my iPhone are not purchased - they come from a large CD collection."
The hesitation comes from the fact that the number of songs that show up in my iTunes library is a small percentage of the number songs that were previously in the iTunes library. My understanding is that if I sync the content of my iTunes library to the iPhone, I will end up losing thousands of songs that are currently on my iPhone but not in iTunes.
If I could find where the other songs went (and why iTunes is no longer seeing those song files) then perhaps I could load those back into iTunes and the risk of syncing will disappear.

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.
