Ipad won't sync all of photo library.

I have recently bought an iPad 2. I updated it to ios5 and it does not sync my complete iPhoto library. I have ~9000 photos in my library, only about 3000 of which are being transferred to my iPad. There is plenty of space on the iPad 32GB of a 64GB iPad. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Similar problem on my iPad2 syncing from by iMac with all the latest updates applied. On returning from vacation, I purchased and updated iPhoto 9.2, and also updated my iPad to IOS5 and my iMac to the latest iTunes. I don't think the iTunes/iPad sync ever completed, befor or after the iPhoto update.
I edited/merged a number of Events with iPhoto 9.2, including importing the camera roll from the iPad that included photos taked on the iPad plus photos taken on a Sony camera that I had also imported to the iPad camera roll. Everything worked OK with iPhoto on the iMac, resulting in new Events that contained both iPad and camera photographs within each event: exactly what I wanted.
However, iTunes Sync of Photos was and still is a train-wreck. I tried multiple times, with multiple iPad and iTunes hangs with various "waiting" messages that never ended. I trashed and recreated the iPod Photo Cache on iTunes but it took some serious work. I actually had to use my iPod to create a new iPod Phot Cache because iTunes would not communicate with the iPad2 to get a rebuild. After the rebuild with the iPod, I then was able to toggle between no photos, single event, all events on the iPad, and things "almost" worked. Currently it looks like all or most of the photos in iTunes (19000+) show up on the iPad2 (only about 14000+ showed in the sync message on iTunes while it was syncing). However, on the iPad if I look at Photos, most of them appear OK, but in the Events view, many of the recent events that I created with iPhoto are empty, even though the photos are there for most or all of them. It looks like the Event to Photos cross-reference is damaged on the iPad. There is no problem at all with the Event to Photos cross-reference on iPhoto.

Ipad won't sync all my photos from new mac

I have an original i-pad which used to sync all photos from my old mac - now I have a new mac and only some of the photos will sync with ipad - some photos are old and some are recent so it;s not an age thing. Have updated ipad software and that hasn't solved the problem.

What Dah•veed said.
I've had this problem for weeks now, and only just found that solution last night. There were over 400 photos that wouldn't sync. The only (unavoidable) downside is that your cache has to be rebuilt. If (like us) you have thousands of photos on your device, it can take quite sometime to rebuild. Close to an hour for each of our phones--we don't have exactly the same photos. I'm really not sure how long the second one took becuase we just let it sync and went to bed :-)
There's a kb article below, but it's as per the instructions above.

IPad won't sync all selected Aperture photos

I upgraded to the most recent version of Aperture (3.0.2) and synced over some photos to the iPad. Some projects and albums synced perfectly, but others only brought over a few photos from a selected set, not all of them.
When I select an Aperture project or album to sync in iTunes, the number of photos in a selected project will list to the right. Some projects list the correct number of photos, while others are listing zero, even though there are many photos in the Aperture project.
Why would iTunes not be recognizing all of the photos from a selected project or album? I ran "Update Previews" and "Reprocess Masters" for these sets, just to make sure that they were properly recognized in Aperture, but it still doesn't see them. One project has 372 photos but iTunes only sees 7 of them.
Thanks,
Stacy

I am using Aperture 3.1 and iTunes 10.1 and the syncing simply does not work. I have a fairly large library that I recently imported from iPhoto. It seems to see some smart albums and not others. It seems to see some albums and not others. I also noticed that when I moved the library from iPhoto into Aperture it did not see the folders I used to organize my photos in iPhoto. It does import the photos and albums but not the folders and they do not appear at first.
So my conclusion is there is some flakiness surrounding Aperture and both the importing and sharing features. Anyway I am now in the process of updating the previews ad suggested by others in this discussion and hope this will render my photos visible to iTunes and my ipad which they aren't now. Perhaps I should have stuck with iPhoto,

My iPad is not syncing all my photos

I just brought home my new ipad mini & synced it. Strangely a large number of my photos (about 2000) did not and will not sync to my iPad.
specs:
MacBook (10.6.8)
iPhoto (9.2.3)
iTunes (11.0.1)
The albums and/or events are there on the iPad, however most of the photos are not (partial albums/events only). The iPad seems to have randomly chosen a handful of photos from each event/album and excluded the rest. The iPad has PLEANTY of room. I have tried unsyncing & re-syncing the album/events. I have tried moving the photos and creating new albums, I have also tried deleting the ipod photo cache & re-syncing, but the photos just won't appear on my ipad. I see no rhyme or reason to which pics are synced, except that all of the partial albums are scanned photos.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you!

If you are getting a 'cannot be displayed' or 'missing file' error, then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

IPad won't sync ALL of my songs

I Have over 2800 songs on my computer . I was able to sync all of those to my new iPod . But I am not able to sync all of them to my iPad . It will only sync about 800. i have checked all the same categories in iTunes but it won't sync ... Can someone help me?

Delete apps or associated data:
Settings > General > Usage Then wait for "Storage" to refresh. Be patient - on my full 64G iPad it takes some time. At the bottom of the app list press "Show All Apps". Then go through the apps manually one by one to see what you can delete.

Won't sync all the photos in my iPhoto album...

Hi:
I had my 2G nano set to sync all 75 pics in one iPhoto album (pics of my kids, and that's the only album I had set to sync). As of this morning, only three of the photos - the most recent three - are on my nano.
All the most up-to-date iPod software is installed: iTunes 7.4.1; and iPod 1.1.3. I have iPhoto 6.0.6, with Keyword Manager 1.3.1 (build 1154).
I've reset my nano, but haven't done any of the ohter "r's."
Many thanks in advance,
Bill from CT

Weird. I tried again to sync the photos and I noticed the long, slow process starting all over again. Not too patient anymore with this. So I clicked the button to stop syncing and it skipped something and said "syncing photos". I got excited but was skeptical. After it finished, voila! my photo folders were on my iPhone. So, I guess the answer is with a total sync it doesn't work, but when I tried to cancel a sync it worked. Again...weird.

IPad won't sync all my contacts from address book?

I've sync'd my iPad a few times in an attempt to get all my contact from the Address book, but it will only sync 35 f them and not the 130+ I have in address book.
Any ideas on that one?
Message was edited by: boxer570

I have the weirdest thing going. I create a contact on my iPad, sync with my Airbook, it does not show up in the Airbook but is still in the iPad. Then I sync with my iPhone and guess what, it appears in the iPhone but still not in the Airbook.
Does not matter which ticks I click in iTunes, same thing happens over and over.
I had moved to iCloud 2 weeks ago but it started doing the same thing Mobile-Me used to do and so I turned everything off.
I can't figure this one out, heading over to the Genius bar. Last time I went with a similar problem in the Calendar they told me Lion still had a few issues and that after a certain number of syncs, the entire libraries need to be physically erased and reinstalled.

IPad won't sync all movies

I am trying to sync my iPad with my movies brought from iTunes but not all will transfer. Why?

Do you have enough space free? Movies are fairly big. I only ever have 1 or 2 at a time.
Is your iPad using the same Apple ID as your iTunes?
Do other purchases sync ok?

IPad won't sync all of my calendars through iCloud

I've created several calendars on my Mac: one for each kid, work, etc. When I got my iPad, I set it to use iCloud for my calendars. Unfortunately, it chose 2 of the 7 calendars to update. How do I get it to do all of them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

My ipad won't sync photos, need help please

my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help

You could try clearing the photo cache.
You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4

My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4. It comes up well short every time. After syncing, I get a message, "example 1171 photo's could not be synced, please see Itunes for help". I have lots of space/gb on my Iphone, so I'm confused. I've done a factory reset and done all the usual stuff, but to no avail. My Iphone is a 32gb IPhone 4, my IMAC is OS10.6.8 and my IPhoto is IPhoto 08. I appologise in advance if i'm posting in the wrong place, so please no nasty trolls. I just need good, honest, kindly advice and a solution to this. I use my IPhone as a further external backup for my photo's
Kindest regards
Paul

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
Regards

IPhone won't sync all photos

Photo syncing has worked perfectly for over a year then suddenly my iPhone doesn't sync all my photos. Everything in iTunes is set to sync all, there is space on the device and sync'ing seems successful. But I have about 1000 more photos in iPhoto than now appear on my iPhone. I have tried deleting all photos and starting again, but to no avail.
Anyone got any thoughts - this is seriously annoying!
iTunes v.9.1.1 iPhone OS 3.1.3 (3G)

Try this: Launch isync from your applications folder, make sure that itunes is NOT running, under preferences, reset sync history. Give it a minute to run, once complete, re-boot your computer. Launch itunes, connect your phone, the photos that won't sync, are they in a separate album or lumped together with all the other photos? If they are in a separate album, un-check that album in itunes followed by hitting apply. Once itunes does its thing, re-check that album, followed by hitting apply. See if they sync now. If they are all lumped together, just try syncing again...although without deleting the cache again that might not work, but give it a go anyway.

When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
This is from the download page:
This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync. If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.
