IOS4 on 3GS and Photo / Video syncing issues. TRY THIS

THIS FIX IS ONLY ANY GOOD IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TRASH ANY CAPTURED VIDEO ON YOUR IPHONE
iOS4 only.
Yep, the same as a lot of people here I am having no end of problems syncing photo's and video from my iPhone 3GS running iOS4.
I get the same black boxes and stuff. iPhoto hangs on import.
Tried image capture. Told me it was syncing 47 items out of the 47 items in my photo folder on the iphone, only 16 items copied across.
iPhoto or image capture not deleting the files after import.
After much deliberation and mucking around I have found it's the video's that were causing the problem. Luckily for me the video's on my iPhone were not important so I deleted them from the phone. Re connected to iPhoto, synced and deleted originals after import - hey presto it worked. Only issue remaining was the black boxes in the photo library on the iPhone. A quick re sync of the photo's tab in iTunes and viola - everything A OK.
Problem is I now know it's an issue with the video files and iPhoto since iOS4 update. Video was working fine before iOS4
Come on Apple - sort this bug out.

Open the iPhoto or Image Capture preferences and set them not to open when a camera is connected to the computer.

Image Capture and photo/video syncing

Whenever I connect the 3GS to my desktop for syncing, the Image Capture application opens up on my
desktop and wants me to download the photos/videos I have taken with my iPhone camera..I have
already downloaded them more than a few times, but the Image Capture application continues to
open up..how do I stop that application and have only iPhoto open up when I want to sync photos??
Thank you

Open the iPhoto or Image Capture preferences and set them not to open when a camera is connected to the computer.

10.5.3 and parallels video sync issues

My video in my virtual XP now gets all fuzzy and chops in and out, until I reset the window size (by dragging or using the contoll panel and changing the size 1280x1024, etc, etc). The screen calms down, but eventually because of moving in/out of the virt to the osx side, the video takes a hit and starts buzzing and individual elements of the windows gui (for instance, the start bar only) start flashing in and out. Again, until I force a screen re-sync by changing the size. I own fusion and parallels and am in the process of migrating my parallels to fusion via the convertor tool. Too much set up in the my xp to just try re-starting. I did however, for testing, create a NEW parallels virt, and install a fresh XP into it, SAME issue with the video, so then I did a linux, SAME issue.
10.5.3 has jacked up the video within parallels, I have checked both sites and not found mention of this yet, so here I am.
For reference, I run all my virts in windowed mode, not full screen.
Anyone have any info? Thanks.

I know this is a pain in the butt, but I had to use my Virt to get work done, and cant waste the time to reboot, reboot, etc, etc.
Heres a temp fix, possibly a full time one for you all, Download the Demo of VMWARE's Fusion (vmware has been around 10 times longer than Parallels), and you can test it for a month free (possibly Parallels will have a fix by then), they also have a Fusion Migrator tool, its also free, so I downloaded fusion with a test key, and the convertor, ran it, it converted my parallels to a fusion vert (leaving my parallels alone until they can release a fix) and made a duplicate of it (disk space is the only requirement) that loads in fusion.
Now I enjoy some of the features parallels uses, mostly the mapping of my windows My Documents to my Mac Documents, something fusion doesn't do, but can manually be done.
BUT to my surprise, fusion has 3d graphic support, as well as dual core emulation for the virt (which means you can turn it off, make it use 1 core) and get a better equal virt / OSX performance.
I hate to sound like a sales person, but if you need to work today, heres a free solution, I might just stay with fusion since I can play games I had to previously boot camp to use.
Lets hope a fix comes out, but its been nice to know about the graphics. I just created a small 5 gig xp install, for gaming only, running it on firewire 800 disk space, and I CANT BELIEVE the performance while being hosted from firewire, no lag that I thought the I/O would have running from a external disk.
Anyways, hope that helps. When I find a fix for parallels I will post it, I tried rolling back 1 update on Parallels and it didn't fix it, unfortunately they don't let you download old revisions, maybe someone might have something older than 5584 cause it still is affected as well, 5584 and 5600 both are crippled by 10.5.3.
Sad thing is what does apple care that it made XP break on it. I hope they do care and attempt to help.

TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
SOLUTION:
Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
(1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
(2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
(3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
(1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
(2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

>Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

Why Wont Apple Fix AUDIO / VIDEO Sync Issues

This has been a problem for awhile. Thank god there is a application fix but im receiving an iTouch very soon and I'm not sure if the same problem is going to be on that to..
It might be how Quicktime reads .MP4 and .M4V Files but i can play the videos on VLC and Zune Software fine..
I see other people posting this exact same problems. I see no answers... Apple Knows this is an issue. Why wont they fix it.
From what im hearing it is the audio that is going out of sync from the video.
Now my Final Question is
"Is this just a Software issue for the computers or is it also a Software issue (Assuming that quicktime is the software on these devices) for the iTouch / iPhone ?

well i got my itouch today and it seems that the audio and video sync issues are only on the computer distributions of quicktime and not the hand held device versions

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear
Regards
Mike

Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos. The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved. I erased my ipod cache and hit sync. Still locked.

Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos. The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos. I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync. It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked. This time at 2,244 of 15,000. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

What's the capacity of your iPad?
iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.

Two Iphone 4 and 1 3GS in house with syncing issues

How do I sync my phones when we have only one computer? Also, when I purchase something on one of my phones can it be for all my phones?

I have the same issue, except that when I connect my daughters iPhone 3G to the computer to back it up, it tells me to restore it with the information from my personal iPhone 3GS....! What I want to do is back up her phone to the computer with her stuff, then take out the SIM, put it into the new iPhone 3GS and restore just her back up...! Not mine? So what is your suggestion? Please help, I feel like my brain is going to pop, after going through all the information that I have read on here!! Thanks Toni

HT2729 Video syncing issues between new IPad and Macbook

I used my new IPad to film some videos for about three months. Today, I connected my IPad to my Macbook in an attempt to upload the IPad videos to my Macbook ITunes. Unfortunately, the IPad synced with my computer files, and all of my videos were erased off of my IPad. I cannot locate them anywhere on my computer. How can I recover these lost videos? Please help! Thanks!

Try this first.... Quit iTunes, restart the Mac, restart the iPad and then try again.
If that does not work, look here for more help.

Restore to previous icloud settings and photos/video are gone. Still recognized 6 gigs of data but can't find them. please help me rescue my children's precious moments. Thanks in advance

Alright people i have a problem and looking for help. Yesterday the iphone started acting funny, a couple apps started crashing and the Iphone reboot a few times on it's own. Things seemed to be back to normal and I notice a "system update" that needed to be install. I thought this update may help the earlier crashing issue. During install, the Iphone froze up and I had to wipe it to factory settings.
Now I have not backed up the phone on the computer/itunes, because I bought extra storage in ICloud. I reset my phone to the last Icloud setting and rescued my contacts, but not the apps or PHOTO/VIDEOS. I was expecting to have the phone to return back to my previous working phone, but now I have to reinstall the apps. Reinstalling the apps is no big deal, but now I only have 6 pictures and NO videos. The icloud settings tells me I have multiple gigs of data used, but where are the photos and videos?
I should add that I lost all my previous text history, which I wish to get back too if possible...
To save some conversation, I researched and didn't find much answers, but found most people were double backing up the photos with Dropbox, Google+, and/or Flickr. I have set up accounts at all three to prevent further issues, but this won't replace the last 6 months of photos that I can not seem to find or reinstate back onto Iphone.
Android uses an external memory card to prevent this type of data loss. #apple#iphone #icloud
I should add the wife and I have two accounts: I have an Iphone 5s and she has her own account with an Iphone 5s and Ipad. We also have a computer running windows vista.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Did you ever restore your last iCloud backup? That contains you camera roll photos & videos, text messages, app data, settings, etc. It will also redownload your apps and other purchased media.
If you didn't, follow the steps in this article to restore the backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.

ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
These errors keep appearing one after the other.
I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
I have tried changing time zones.
I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks in Advance

I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
"failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
unknown error 0xE8004006
"duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2401822
Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.
This section of the log looked interesting because it says it couldn't connect to USB mux port 32498
