IPhone 3g, Photos tab missing in iTunes

I've got a 3G iPhone and when I sync it with my computer there's not a photos tab anymore. I have the latest version 3.1.3 for the iPhone and I've been told that there should be a photo tab so I don't know what the problem is. Can someone help?

I have possibly the same problem. I noticed one thing, if you resize the window smaller there is no scroll bar to get to hidden tab. You also cannot use the keyboard to get to hidden tabs. You can also not make the iTunes window larger that the current resolution. The last tab I can see is actually 'Photo' wiht the 's' cut off but I seem to remember with some of my clients there was an advanced tab at the end with at least backup options.
My tabs are as following...
Summary, Info, Applications, Ringtones, Music, Films, TV Programmes, Podcasts, iTunes U, Photo
Hmmm, I thought of another way to get more room for the tabs, I moved the left vertical scroll bar all the way to the left. It seems that 'Photos' is the last tab. There should still be some way to go through to hidden tabs when your window is smaller. And where is the backup option? Not the option to encrypt the backup, since there is no backup yet.

- disconnect when sync is finished
- force reboot the iPhone by holding down the power button
- you should be able to see the synced photos now

HT4236 I can't see a photos tab on my itunes screen -is it hidden somewhere?

I have new ipad 2 just purchased. I have updated to the latest versions of ios 5.1 iTunes says my software is up to date, but under the device my ipad only shows 'music', 'movies', 'tv shows' and then categories of music such as classical etc. My understanding is that to enable me to load photos from my pc (not a mac) I should be able to see a 'photos' tab. Have I missed setting up something?

You are looking on the wrong side of iTunes - the Photos tab appears on the right-hand side of the iTunes window when you've selected the iPad under 'Devices' on the left-hand side i.e. the same as the other tabs that you use to sync content the iPad.

Ipod photo tab missing.

Good evening fellow Ipod users
Now, I have read a post like this before, but there is a difference.
My Ipod has never displayed a photo tab.
I've had it since around august 2007 and I've tried reinstalling itunes and resetting my ipod and everything I can think of but the photos tab just will not come up.
Anyone help? Greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Head to Settings -> Main Menu (something along those lines) and make sure the Photos option has a check mark next to it.

IPhone 5s photo folder missing after update

After the update, the folder containing all of my photos is missing. There is now a folder called recently added in its place.
The pictures are still on the phone as I can find them in the gallery that is broken up into years.
How do I get my folder back? Please help.
Thank you

A search of the forums would be a good place to start, it is certainly faster that registering, posting, and waiting for a response.
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

HT4236 no photo tab on my itunes from iphone 5

Iphone: recover photos and contacts when itunes backup is corrupt/not-compatible

Thought it would be useful to share my experience with an iphone restore failure.
Scenario: my friend did an ios update (she has sworn to never do such a thing again based on this experience). The restore failed and her iphone would not boot up. iTunes said we need to restore. She had an iTunes backup (no iCloud backup) that had been used for a previous restore (i.e. a known good backup). When we attempted to restore, we got this:
I googled this problem, and see that we are not the first to experience this. I chatted with Apple Support and conclusion was "start fresh". I found several open-source tools (iPBA2, iphone Analyzer); but while both showed photos from the backup, neither showed contacts.
I copied the iTunes backup directory to my desktop Linux (CentOs) machine. Browsing in the directory (use the GUI file browser, or run "file *|grep JPEG) I could see all the photos. So I uploaded these to DropBox and gave the link to my friend. Result: I consider this a 100% success at recovering the photos.
Using the Linux "strings" command, I found files that looked like they contained contact list. For example, I knew that I (Tucker) was a contact in her list, so I ran something like:
for i in $(ls)
do
strings $i |grep Tucker > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? == 0 ]
then
echo found Tucker in $i
fi
This identifed a few likely candidates. For each of these files I then ran:
strings <filename> |more
and simply looked at the output. I found a file that had a bunch of names/phone-numbers. I saved the output to a file, ran some scripts to clean it up a bit, and I had a crude recreation of contacts (at least 1 phone number for each contact). I emailed this list of contacts to my friend, and she can now manually re-enter contacts as she sees fit. I can see this file type is sqlite. I tried various experiments reading this and other files with sqlite3, but did not have any success at finding actual contact info. Result: I consider this a partial success,
There are a number of files in the Backup directory which show up as file type "Adaptive Multi-Rate Codec". These appear to be voicemail messages pushed to the phone. I did not care about these. If you open them in the Linux GUI file browser, you can play them back.
Bottom line: Apple Support said "start over". Reality is, with a little effort, you can get back photos (most important, since these cannot be re-created from scratch), and some contacts (less important, since eventually you can re-create this with a little work). Might be other stuff (calendar, ...etc) that can be harvested if you poke around some more.
My recommendations:
1) Set up your phone for both iTunes and iCloud backup
2) Now assume that both your iTunes and your iCloud backups are corrupt. Do not trust them. The only way (to my knowledge) to see if they are good is to restore them to an iphone. Sort of like buying house insurance, and not knowing if it will pay for your damage until the house burns down. If the backups are good, then fantastic. If they are not good, you will have an alternate strategy.
3) Get a flickr account. Set your iphone to sync photos to flickr. flickr offers everyone 1TB free. I like a backup scheme where you can "see" your backup, and have confidence it is really there.
4) Login to icloud. Export your contacts to a file, and make a copy of file on another machine, or to the cloud (googledocs for example). Maybe you can export other stuff. I didn't really care about this, so no comments on that.
5) If all else fails, dissect files on Linux as described above
Comments/flames welcome.

Iphonebackupextractor for windows xp is a strange piece of software, which lets you extract only one file per session until you pay the registration fee. with "iphone backup extractor" from supercrazyawesome for mac you get the same functionality for free, so I could get her photos/films back. For the contacts you will need a sql-browser, which I had not try yet.

Why is my "info" tab missing on iTunes when I connect my phone?

When I connect my phone to sync it on itunes - the info tab is missing - I cannot sync my phone calendar and my mac calendar

Hello KathyLucas1,
It sounds like you have the latest version of iTunes on Mavericks and iOS 7.0.4 on your phone and do not have an Info tab in iTunes to sync your calendar to your device. Mavericks does not use Sync Services so there is no Info tab to click in iTunes. Here is more info from an article explaining why there is no Info tab.
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
From: About SyncServices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
You can use iCloud to sync your calendars from your computer to your phone with the added bonus of not needing to connect your phone physically to your computer to update it.
Set up iCloud on all your devices. The rest is automatic.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Books tab missing in itunes 11.1.1.11

Hello,
When I try to select my books library I'm unable to view it in itunes as the tab is missing. I just have music, films, tv programmes and apps. How do I get it back please? I use a PC for syncing my iphone4S with itunes.

There are numerous other MP3 radio stations that function on iTunes. You can post feedback here:

Honestly, if you don't need Mac OS X 10.7, don't worry about it. There are plenty of reasons to stick to 10.6, not the least of which is Rosetta, the program that lets you run 2005 and older PowerPC applications in the background. You can run it in 10.7 but not without a significant number of hoops.

Why was the ''Photo" tab gone on iTunes 11.0.1?

I have iTunes 11.0.1 for Mac. It appears Apple has eliminated the "photo" option on the drop down menu from iTunes, why? When I attach my iPhone 4 and iPad I cannot sync photos or albums.

Maybe I should have written this.
When I go to "iTunes" -- Preferences --- General --- "Show" --- no photo options for iTunes 11.0.1 for Mac.

Nike + iPod tab missing in iTunes 11

What happened to the nike + ipod tab for my iPhone in iTunes 11? I upgraded to iTunes 11, my iPhone 3GS is on iOS 6.01 and I no longer see the Nike + iPod tab in iTunes to sync my workouts to Nike+.

It looks like in iOS 6 on my iPhone the Settings has a section for Nike + iPod where you configure the upload workout data to Nike+. Apparently this function now works directly from the iPhone rather than through iTunes.

Importing Tab Missing in iTunes 5.0.1

I am in the process of testing iTunes 5.0.1 before actually making the jump to the newer version due to all of the posts I have seen with regards to problems with this version.
So far, I haven't had any of the issues that have been mentioned here except for a really slow start up issue, however, I think I might have that resolved. However, the one issue I did see is that in iTunes Preferences, the Importing tab appears to be MIA. I have tried several things including putting a CD in the drive to get it to appear, but so far nothing has worked.
Has anyone else had this problem, or did Apple just move this somewhere else, and I just haven't found it yet?
Thanks.
Paul

I just downloaded the update 5.0.1.4 and I still have my Importing tab under the advance preferences.

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Has anyone had the photo tab in iTunes software disappear?

The photo tab in my iTunes sofware can't be found in the summary. When I sync my Iphone I get the message it can't sync saying "ITunes cannot sync photos to the IPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found. How can I redirect iTunes to look for the pictures folder on my PC?

Yes. There are instances when you will get that error. That is if you have added to many credit cards on your account. You can contact email support for more information.
