IOS 7.0.3 Photo app, stuck on syncing message at bottom.

Yesterday I updated to 7.0.3 and updated all my apps as well. After opening iPhoto, it seemed stuck on a message saying my Photo library is being upgraded. After numerous closer and reopening and leaving it overnight with nothing changed, I noticed that my Photo app is showing a syncing message with a wheel at the bottom that does not go away. I tried to reset all settings, removing and putting back iPhoto, removing iCloud account and finally restoring my phone and still the problem persists.
Is there anything I can do beside setting up my phone as new which I really do not want to do at all.
Thank you.

I too had this problem, however I am running Windows 7 on a PC. This drove me NUTS for 2 days until I finally figured it out.
Through iTunes, I was trying to sync pictures onto my iP5 from a specific folder on my desktop. It would start loading the pictures when I hit the "Apply" button in iTunes, but then the status bar would say "error" and stop the upload.
As it turns out, the folder that I was trying to upload had a sub-folder with an old iPod cache in it. This is what was causing the "Syncing..." to stay present in my Photos app on my iPhone (must be unrecognized file types?). Once I deleted the cache sub-folder, I re-synced the desired folder, and the "Syncing..." in Photos went away.
"i" hope this helps!

  • IOS 7.06 my photos app always crashing

    iOS 7.06 my photos app always crashing, how can i fix it ?

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Photos app stuck on 'downloading x of y'

    Hi guys, I had to restore my iPhone 4S yesterday, whilst everything seemed fine at first I noticed that in the photos app it shows 9 pictures with the message "Downloading 9 of 63" yet nothing happens, I cant take photos or screenshots as when I do I go to the app and they're not there.
    I'm not sure exactly whats happened or how to fix it.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks

    I too ran into this problem after trying to setup a new iPad by restoring from my old iPad's iCloud backup: Photo's app said, "Syncing x of y," and was stuck for more than a month despite hard resets, killing apps, etc. After calling AppleCare, they hinted that the only way they know to solve this problem is by doing a wipe and restore which I did not want to do. So while my AppleCare representative was consulting with a colleague, I tried one last thing which ended up working for me (please keep in mind that I had not sync'd my new iPad with my computer until this point, but this may work even if you have already done so):
    Open iTunes and find your Preferences, then in the "Devices" tab, make sure to check the box next to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically".
    Plug in your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch into the computer and transfer all your photo's to the computer, then remove the photo's from your iDevice (iPhoto will automatically give you the option to remove the photo's you just imported from the device). Your Camera Role Album should now be empty on your iDevice.
    To be safe, since we are about to sync with iTunes, click "File" --> "Transfer Purchases from [iDevice Name]".
    Now in iTunes, after clicking on the name of your iDevice in the left-hand column, click on the Photo's tab and put a checkmark next to, "Sync Photo's from [your default photo application name]" and next to "Selected albums, Events, Faces, and ...."
    Now choose a small album that is not already showing up on your iDevice. This way, the computer will try to remove the presumably corrupted album and add the album you chose.
    Hit Apply, and let iTunes finish syncing with your iDevice.
    If the "Syncing x of y" message disappeared, congratulations and remember to restore any of your syncing preferences that you might have altered following these directions, namely whether to automatically sync your iDevice when connected to the computer and which photo albums or events you want synced.
    Please reply to this post if this worked or did not work for you so that we can determine if these steps will work for others.

  • HT204655 Photos app stuck @ 12%

    Photos app says it is preparing library on first use but gets stuck at 12%.  I have restarted 3 times trying to fix the problem and it doesn't work.  Any ideas?

    I found that the estimated time to import a new library was quite inaccurate but I also found that in one case I had a problem with my Aperture library. So you might try repairing the Aperture library or the iPhoto library and see if that fixes your import problem.

  • New Photo app stuck at startup

    I have a Mid 2011, 27" iMac.  With the recent update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on April 24, 2015, Apple replaced iPhoto in my Dock with the new Photo app (The original iPhoto is still in my Applications folder.).  When I opened the new Photo app [Version 1.0 (209.52.0)], it came up with a dialog box suggesting the use of the iCloud Photo Library.  I clicked on the "Use iCloud Photo Library" button and found I have too large of a photo library and there would be a cost involved to use it, so I decided to go back and select the "Not now" button.  However, that "button" is not (or no longer) a hotspot and does not work.  Finding no way out, I thought I'd close and restart Photo, but I get a dialog box that "Photos is creating or opening a library.  Cannot quit Photos while it is creating or opening a library."
    Suggestions?

    I executed a Force Quit on the new Photo app, then restarted it.  At the Welcome window, I clicked on the Get Started button and a spinning gear started just below the button.  That gear is still spinning two days later.  Can I safely Force Quit the Photo app. again?  Then what?  Can I continue to use the older iPhoto app?  Thank-you for any further suggestions.

  • Photo App on iPhone 5 has "syncing" message at bottom.

    I synced my iPhone 5 to my mac and the photos load to iPhoto fine and the phone syncs fine. But, when I go into the Photos app on my iphone there is a "syncing" message at the bottom with a pinwheel.
    Any advice on how to deal with this?

    Hello, dangles8. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test opening the Photo App on your device to see if they load.  If the issue persists, see the second article below.

  • IMac photos app stuck when accessing icloud.

    Recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.03 and enabled the iCloud photo library.  While all of my iOS devices are uploading to icloud without issues. The iMac seems to be stuck. After uploading about 1500 pictures it seems to have stopped responding. It always says that its uploading 12,635 items and never moves. Moreover, it is not downloading new pictures that are uploaded from the other devices in the iCloud photo library. So far I have tried disabling and reenabling the icloud photo library on the mac as well as multiple reboots. Any thoughts?

    I Have a simolar issue where photos on my iPad did not load to the Photo cloud and ther is no indication that is uploading anything to the cloud. I have my iMac uploading to the photo cloud. The iPad show 433 photos out of thousands in the library.
    CAn can we check the cloud to see what is there? 
    PErhaps this this will straighten out after a few days once the initial surge to photo cloud is over.
    THanks

  • IOS 8.0.2 - Calendar app no longer syncing Exchange

    Hello!
    I've recently purchased an iPhone 6. After restoring through iTunes everything was now on my new phone. Awesome. Everything worked perfectly, mail accounts were synced, calendar worked.
    I then updated my phone to iOS 8.0.2 and all of a sudden my work calendar isn't showing up.
    Some background information. The work calendar is created in an Gmail enviroment. It has a main calendar for everyone to see. Then each account has a personal calendar. Previously I could see the main calendar on my phone and my personal accounts calendar. Now I can't see either.
    If I open the calendar app and go to accounts I see a red exclamation mark behind the account.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Kind regards,
    Tom

    The things that I have tried:
    - Remove exchange account, restart phone, create new exchange account, restart again, open app. Nothing.
    - Created a Gmail account instead of an exchange account (which didn't work previously, due to me not seeing the shared calendar), didn't work.

  • Did the iOS 5 upgrade and my apps won't sync to my phone

    did the upgrade to ios 5 and apps wont sync to my phone.
    restarted it, restored it, went back to factory settings - no apps

    Are the apps compatible with your mode iPod and its iOS?
    Have you successfully synced apps from this iTunes library/computer before? While you can add music and videos from any iTunes library, you can only sync apps from the one syncing computer you can have.

  • In my photo app it says syncing and importing x of x

    Ok so I am running iOS5 beta 6. I don't want to update to beta 7 because I heard it has some problems and I don;t have time to deal with that. Whenever I go to my ohoto app, under the albums, it says "Syncinc and Importing x of x". In my case it says 0 of 89. Next to that there is also a spinning wheel. Any idea on how to get rid of it?

    You use the command "File→Locate Referenced Masters".  Full instructions on this page in the User Manual.

  • Edit Photos with Photos App iOS 5.0.1

    Hi,
    I modified some pictures with the integrated iOS 5.0.1 Photos App with my iPad 2 and saved the changes.
    If I show the picture on the iPad 2 I see the changes, but if I send it per Email or copy the file to my computer (with Sync-Cable) I have only the original version of the picture and not the modified version.
    How can I get the modified picture?
    Many thanks

  • IPhone Photos App Photo Library has no Delete button

    iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 Photos App Photo Library Album Pictures have no Delete button in the bottom right bottom corner like found in Camera Roll Album Pictures. How do I delete obsolescent photos on the iPhone Photo Library Album without sync deleting it on my computer's iPhoto and other sync devices?

    The same exact thing happened to me but on IOS7. What i did was take a very long video that took up my entire hardrive. That over writes that photo because the iphone thinks its already deleted and techinically its not.
