IPhone 4 only syncs last photo in every picture folder selected

My husband's IPhone 4 refuses to sync more than one photo from each folder he selects to update. It's always the last photo in the folder. He's had this problem from day one of owning the phone, and he's tried many times to fix. He's running Windows 7, 64bit on an HP computer. But, he had the same problem on his prior Sony PC running Windows XP. He has deleted ITunes, deleted the photo cache file, reloaded ITunes restored his IPhone to factory settings, all to no avail. This is ridiculous. The last straw is I loaded the newest ITunes and IPhone update this morning. The brand new one. It STILL doesn't work. Is anyone from APPLE listening???? This is clearly NOT a random event, and as owners of 4 IPods, 3 IPhones, and an IPad, we're really getting upset with Apple. My Iphones and IPad sync fine, but I'm running Windows 7 on a different computer. We're not novice Apple users and this is beyond frustrating. The bad part about all this is the apparent lack of response from APPLE on this issue is greatly influencing our thoughts on future APPLE purchases. They make great products, but the service when there is an issue is the key to retaining customers.

This is how Apple handles photos.
ALL photos synced to iphone will be in the Photo Library.  Those exact same photos ( NOT duplicates ) can be accessed via the folder you synced.  Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist.
There is only one copy of the pic.

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • IPhone can only sync with one computer?

    Well I'm not even really syncing my iPhone, I set it to manual so I could pull songs off of my cousins computer because I don't put many songs on mine. But I went over his house and said I had sync it thus I had to delete all the songs off my iPhone so I could get his... I didn't do it but I have to ask, is this suppose to happen? Or is there a way around it like I could do with my iPod?

  • When exporting photo to my pictures folder it shows up as a soft color & no photo..Please help

    When exporting my edited pictures to a folder in m Pictures it goes as a blank soft color but no photo. It looks like a tiny dot and when you open it, it is a soft color.. Please help!

    I am trying to send as attachement. I have tried to screen shot but must not have a clue how to!  Is there a number someone can walk me through this.. or if you could tell me how to screen shot it. I am trying the print screen but not working. I have never done on  a computer before. My system is Dell Pentium Dual Core [email protected]   4.00GB  64 Bit Windows Vista. I tried to download a trial of LR4 so I could get some work done until prob fixed but it tells me my system not compatible. I am thinking of creative cloud but will this work with my system. I use LR for 100% of my editing but have been doing other things (newborns) where I feel I need CS6. If you could let me know what I need to do to run the new LR and CS6 that would be great. (Really need a computer class)! Thanks

    I have been opening up my photos from My Pictures folder and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear in the image screen.  Over the weekend it was working fine.  I tried the other photo software I have and they open up in those but not in the elements 12.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    How are you trying to open the photos?
    - from windows explorer? - double licking or right clicking and selecting Open with?
    - by loading the editor and go to File -> Open?
    Looking back at your other threads you seem to have had this problem before - what keeps changing?

  • Went from an iphone 4 to a 4s to a new 4 and itunes only sync last backup from first iphone 4. How can i get my texts, photos, calendar data back?

    Had an iPhone 4, lost it, bought a 4s, got stolen. Now I bought another iPhone 4, tried to sync it with itunes, I only get the data up to the last day I used the old iphone 4, all data, texts, photos, calendar during the use of the 4s no longer shows on my phone when I sync it with itunes

    When you say that it recognizes both phones are you sure you aren't just seeing both backups?  iCloud should back up your new phone if you have iCloud Backup turned to On in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup.  But you may still have the old backup stored in your account as well when you check in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on the Backups list.  If you no longer need the backup of your old phone, tap it and then tap Delete Backup.

  • IPhone 5 only shows 100 photos in Photo Stream...

    iPhone 5, iPad mini, MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.
    I just got my iPhone 5 upgrading from iPhone 4, which didn't have Photo Stream activated. My iPad mini is showing 684 photos in my Photo Stream, but my iPhone 5 only shows 100. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • How do I sync one photo from phone to computer?  Seems like this was easy on my Apple 1, but I can't figure it out with 3G.  I can only sync new photos-and get all of them.

    How do I sync one photo from my iPhone 3G to computer.  My only option is to sync all new photos.  Do I need iPhoto?

    Yes, you do need iPhoto, or at least for the following: Plug it into the computer with the USB plug you get with it, and iTunes will automatically open. It doesn't matter if you keep it open or not, because you'll import them to iPhoto. When you open iPhoto, it will automatically go to your iPhone's inventory of photos. Choose a photo that you wish to import (or click import all), type in the titile, and click import. A pop-up message will come up that asks if yu want to keep originals. Click yes, and viola. Your photos are on your computer! Hope this helps.

  • Itunes only syncing certain photos to ipad 2 I have saved in iphoto

    I have uploaded photos from my camera to iphoto.  I then edited them deleted some and cropped and adjusted the rest and put them into a folder. I then wanted to put this folder containg the pictures onto my ipad 2. I connected my ipad and ticked the box containing the pictures and expected the folder to sync but all I get out of 220 photos are approx 40 that itunes is syncing across.  I have created different folders but itunes is still only syncing about 40 pictures.  I have restored the ipad etc, and itunes will not sync folders that I am making containing photos I want on my ipad.  I then decided to save a hard copy to disc to find that iphoto has duplicated all the pictures.  For example all the photos I edited (220), I now have 600+ saved to disc!!!!!!!!!! What the **** is going on.  Why can't I simply drag and drop pictures I want onto the ipad?????  What am I doing wrong that itunes and my ipad cannot sync photos properly??? HELP!!!!

    You can try deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder and then sync again. Read this support article for instructions.

  • My Iphone is not syncing my photos to my PC

    Hi
    My Iphone until recently would transfer photos from my iphone to my pc whenever I connected them and synced them.
    This seems to have stopped working. Any ideas?
    Cheers
    James

    This is the reason.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences are not transferred to your iPhone's camera roll.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are photos that were captured by your iPhone, or photos saved from a received email or from a website. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    With a Mac, this can be done with iPhoto if you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your Mac, or with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Both include an option to delete the photos from your iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If you don't want to save these photos, you can delete the photos from iPhoto or from your designated location where the imported photos are saved if you use the Image Capture application for the import.

  • Ipad mini and iphone no longer syncs "last page used" of my ebooks

    My ipad mini and iphone recently stopped syncing the page locations for my kindle e-books. Each time i go from one device to the other i find my book on the same page it was when i last used that device and when I tap the sync circle icon it tells me that i am "currently at the furtest location across all your devices." Not! it used to sync them but now it doesn't and I don't know why.

    Sounds like the problem is with the phone. Do a hard reset and go from there.

  • 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.

  • HT4847 Is there a way to only sync your camera roll (new pictures) to iCloud or is it an all or nothing type thing?

    I'm wondering if there is anyway to change your backup settings through iCloud to only sync the camera roll as opposed to all of the other folders as well. Considering your new pictures automatically save in your camera roll, it would make sense to be able to just save the new pictures one would think. I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I was hoping that I may be overlooking something. Thanks in advance

    Photo stream only adds new photos by design.  It also only adds photos from the camera roll, not any albums (folders)*.  Photos added to the camera roll are automatically added to photo stream, once enabled.  The remain in photo stream for 30 days.  After 30 days they are deleted from photo stream, but will remain in your My Photo Stream folder until deleted.
    *Any album that includes photos from your camera roll only contains links to the photos in the camera roll, not duplicate photos.  Photo stream doesn't add these "photos" because the actual photos they link to are in the camera roll.
