Ipad Won't Sync Photo PT2!

Just upgraded my Ipad today, it seems that all is well. Except, my photos won't sync. When trying to sync photos (and only photos) it says '"XXXX's iPad" cannot be synced because file cannot be found'
i've tried the following to make it work.
1) turned off sync photos, run sync, turn on again, new sync
2) try setting the iPad up as a new ipad
3) deleting the photo cache file.
This is very annoying, hopefully im not the only one having this issue.

Vere,
Tried your version, but it did not work, still gives the information in pop up "cant find file".
My Ipad II won't synch fotos faces or any picture content form my mac to my ipad
tried all options in scroll bar on " synch photos from Iphoto / picrures/ select file.
best regards,
Jan Mulder

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.

Can only sync photos by dropping folder on desktop - iPad won't sync photos

Hi all,
I've been trying for a couple weeks now to sync photos to my iPad.
I'm running SL 10.6.2 and have updated to the latest iTunes. I have one hard drive that runs only my OS and my applications and I have a secondary drive that contains all my data including music, videos, photos, documents etc.
I have been able to repeatedly successfully sync apps, movies, music, and even a pages document to my iPad from the secondary drive through iTunes.
Every single time I have tried to sync photos it just seems to hang at the Sync in Progress screen for hours. I finally have to cancel because it's obvious the sync will not be successful. This happens whether I have one folder selected with just a dozen photos or several folders selected.
I am not using iPhoto. I'm simply choosing the folders with the images I'd like to sync from the Photos tab in iTunes when my iPad is connected.
Today I took one of the folders I was trying to sync containing 12 photos and dropped it on my desktop. The photos synced in seconds and iPad happily said sync complete. Any ideas?
Is this a quirk with SL 10.6.2, iTunes 9.1, or iPad?
It's not necessarily a huge issue that I have to move all the photos I want to sync to my main mac drive... but I just really didn't want to clutter my OS drive with data stuff... I prefer to keep them separate. Seems the only way I can sync photos right now, though, is to move them to the main mac drive... even though everything else syncs just fine from the secondary drive...
Thanks for any help!

It looks like noone has and Idea how to fix this problem ;-(

IPad won't sync photos

I just upgraded to 4.2 and my iPad will no longer sync my photos from iPhoto.
They synced just fine before I upgraded but now I get an error:
"Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_1402.JPG, were not copied to the iPad because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
Some details:
-these photos synced just fine before I upgraded to 4.2
-the photos are all in my iPhoto library
- I recently had the hard drive on my imac die so it was just replaced with a new one
- I used Time Machine to restore my system
Any help is appreciated.

The files that you say are syncing again - even though they are already on the iPad - will always sync again unless you deselect them in iTunes in which case they will be removed from the iPad. That's how the sync works.
I'm guessing that you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them back on to the iPad in smaller groups until you are able to nail down the troublesome photo, album or event that causes the sync to stop.
If you want to try removing the photos as suggested, you may want to repeat the remove the iPod photo cache folder one more time before you begin resyncing the photos back onto the iPad.
There are other things that you could try, like deleting your iPad backup - on your computer, launch iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Your iPad's name and then select delete back up. Quit iTunes and then try to sync again.
Or something a little less invasive that may or may not work - but it will harm nothing - try resetting your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Then try to sync again.

Ipad won't sync photos from computer although iPhone 5 syncing ok.

I have tried to load some recent photos onto my ipad by syncing with itunes but the syncing gets to step 6 of 7 and does not complete. My iPhone 5 has synced ok. Have tried switching the iPad on and off again and resyncing but no joy. Any ideas?

The message is that the computer is not associated with that account.
Are you trying to sync your iPad on a computer that you do not usually use to connect your iPad to?
You should use the computer with the backup of your iPad.

My iPad won't sync photos from my pc via iTunes. It did until yesterday.

I have moved my 7000 photos from one drive on my pc to another.
I have selected the sync all photos option with the correct folder in iTunes.
All 160 folders appear as empty albums during sync but then disappear again without being populated with photos.
I have had my ipad2 for about 12 months and have never had this problem before.
Does anybody have any ideas?

I had same problem and after reading these posts also decided to delete the 2 empty folders from my IPad and then tried again. It is now working. It doesn't seem to like to have empty photo albumn.s
I find this ironic because I didn't realize that by unchecking the folders to sync that it would then remove those pictures from my IPad. Don't understand why it doesn't just leave them there.

My iPad won't sync photos with iTunes & the photos tab has gone on itunes

I'm using an iMac with itunes version 11.1.5 and I have been trying to sync my iPad to add photos but it keeps failing. However i have noticed that there doesnt seem to be a "photos" tab any longer on iTunes has this option been removed??
Many thanks

You can never totally remove anything that you have purchased from iTunes, the App Store, or iBooks. Your purchases will always be tied to your Apple ID. You can hide those songs by going to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show all>Music>Off. You can do the same for videos.
But bear in mind, all that you are doing is hiding the purchases and they will not be downloaded to your device unless you go back to that settings, show the songs again and then tap the cloud to download them to the iPad.

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 itunes10 won't sync photos from my ipad or iphone into iphoto 6. my ipad shows no photos when connected in iphoto. how do i fix?

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

Hi,
iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

IPad won't sync; instead tells me it's syncing for 2 seconds without result

Hey
Here's my problems:
My iPad won't sync to my computer
My iPad's system time and calendar are messed up after the failed sync
What happens:
Once I connect my iPad to my PC with iTunes open, it starts to sync
Two seconds later, iTunes tells me the sync is finished
Nothing new appears on my iPad, and my the time and calander are messed up
What I've tried:
manual sync (only works for music)
reboot computer
reboot iPad
uninstal and reinstal iTunes
Info (I'm not sure if all of this is relevant):
I just switched from a 32 bit Windows XP to a 64 bit Windows 7 computer
My iTunes is also 64 bit
I'm using a different iTunes account than I was before, and I've successfully downloaded books and music with it on my iPad
The iTunes library is in the right place (it's on an external hard drive, just like it was on my old computer); I can see and play the music on my computer
I have an iPad 1, latest software update available; it's about two years old
My computer runs on 110 volts, and my iPad runs on 220 volts (I baught my iPad in europe and moved to the US a few weeks ago; I use an adapter to recharge it, which works fine)
I've tried different USB ports, all directly in my computer
Thanks for reading all this :/ Hope anyone knows whats wrong. Thanks

SOLVED
It turned out I still had apps installed from my previous iTunes account (Apple ID), which I deleted and re-installed using the new account. After that, it worked perfectly

I had to reinstall iTunes and now my iPad won't sync.

I tried to upgrade with 11.1.4 and everything go messed up (Windows 7 user). I ended up going back to a later version of data on my computer. Then I was able to reinstall iTunes. My iPhone is syncing like it should, but my iPad won't sync. I've lost the App Sore icon and others. Not sure what to do. I refreshed my iPad but nothing is working.

attach a screenshot of the error unless that's all of the error message.
if it is, Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements

How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed. I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

Hi,
I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do? It is a 1st generation Ipad.
Thanks for the help in advance.

if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again
