IPhoto will not sync with my iPhone

I did the new update for my Mac yesterday and one of the update was for iPhoto but now when I open iphoto it will not find my iPhone. Not sure what to do to fix that. I do have iTunes open and iTunes does see my iPhone so I know it has nothing to do with my computer not finding my iPhone.
Thanks

I had the same problem. I refreshed my iPhone (held down the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared, should take about 5-10 sec). Now everything works like an apple . Hope it works for you.

I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?

I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why? On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.

Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
Does it work now?

Some photos in iPhoto will not sync/copy to iPhone

I have an album in iPhoto that contains photos that will not transfer to the iPhone. There is no indication from phone or iTunes that there is/was any problem during the sync. I have tried the following:
Create new and different album with those pictures and resync
Create new album with 1 of the offending pictures, but even a single picture will not move to the phone
This problem has existed through several iOS, iTunes, and iPhoto transitions, including latest for each
iPhone has been wiped and completely restored
iPhone has been DFU reset (for a different problem)
Any help is appreciated

I seem to have figured this out, finally. I did the following:
Removed the pictures from iPhoto completely
Reimported them into iPhoto
Now the sync seems to work.
No idea why

IPhoto will not sync with iPhone 4

Some pictures, including ones taken with my iPhone, won't transfer back to the phone after syncing with iPhoto, putting in folders, etc... It only happens with select photos so I can't find a common problem. Any suggestions?

Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
Which updates are these? For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
or
upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

Iphoto will not sync with older mac?

I have an older ibook, G3, with just a CD drive. I am running tiger 10.4.10 and iphoto 2.0. I understand that in order to sync photo's I need the latest version of iphoto which is included with ilife 08. Here is my problem, ilife 08 will not run on a G3 mac! Plus I don't have a DVD drive to instal it? So ... How in the heck can I get the latest version of iphoto on an older ibook?

Create a folder in the location of your choice - named by whatever you choose but if you want to have an Album or multiple Albums of sorts, create these folders in the Pictures folder in your Home folder/directory - which should be the same location as your iPhoto library location.
Export the chosen pictures from iPhoto to the created folder or folders placed in your Pictures folder.
Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes at Sync Photos From, select the Pictures folder which should be available via the pop-up menu.
Select - Selected Folders.
The folder or multiple folders you created within your Pictures folder should be available in the window below. You can select each folder or a chosen folder. The number of pictures available within each folder should be available to the right of the folder name.
Select Sync and you are done.
To add additional photos to your iPhone, add chosen photos to the existing folder or folders created in your Pictures folder or create a new folder. This is the manual way of creating albums within iPhoto but serves the same purpose.

ITunes will NOT sync with my iPhone 3G

Hello
I've performed a CLEAN Restore on my iPhone and I did not restore data.
I've installed my 86 applications and used a few of them. I've decided that I want a "backup" incase i need to restore my iPhone and I don't want to lose my text messages.
So I plug my iPhone into my MacBook USB port using the Apple supplied USB cable. iTunes detects my iPhone and I click SYNC.
iTunes indicates that it's syncing but after waiting 48 hours, iTunes cancels the Sync and tells me that there was a problem with 100 items. At this point, I realize that iTunes for some reason forgot that my machine is already authorized to play the iTunes content so I have to deauthorize it then reauthorize it.
Then I perform another Sync and this time iTunes skips backing up and says "Syncing with <name of phone>..." and it doesn't do anything.
I restart the MacBook and the iPhone 3G and try again but same message.
I look into the preference pane and then view the backup list and I don't see ANYTHING that is even close to 8/26/2008. I find my other iPhones on the list but not the one in question.
What can I do to back it up?

My computer has worked fine since I bought it. Now it will not sync with my iphone for some reason and gives me an error message saying 42404 is missing in itunes

My computer has worked well since I bought it new. All of a sudden it will not recognize my i-phone to snyc. I receive an error message saying that -42404 is missing from i tunes and it then crashes....help please

You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:

It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than just "G4" will get you help faster.

Photos from Win XP will not Sync with 3G iphone what am I doing wrong

Need some help, just got the iphone and the only thing I can't understand is how to transfer my photos from my PC to the phone. I understand I use Itunes and point it to the folder/photo I want to sync. Itunes goes through it optimizing 1 of 29 photos (only doing 29 photos to start) but then when I go to the phone I have the normal Camera Roll Album and one folder listed. In the folder listed is only one photo which is all messed up.
I understand the phone takes photos and displays photos at one res, and I thought Itunes doesn't care what res the photo from the PC is cause it optimizes it to be viewed on the phone.
What am I missing ? and what is this folder that keeps being built ipod photo cache. Any help would be wonderful and yes I did read the "Iphone User Guide" that came with the phone.

Not sure what the issue is that you are having. Sounds like you are doing the right thing.
You point iTunes to a folder that contains pictures (or more subfolders that contain pictues...1 subfolder deep). Then tell it to sync. iTunes does its "optimize" thing. Then they sync over. Each subfolder in that folder you pointed to becomes a library.
eg:
C:\PHOTOS you point it to.
C:\PHOTOS\FAMILY
C:\PHOTOS\WORK
C:\PHOTOS\FRIENDS
C:\PHOTOS\WALLPAPER
C:\PHOTOS\MISC
are all under it.
Each of those becomes a library on the iPHone (Family, Work, friends, etc)
Photos from those folders go to phone (and photos from the root you pointed it to).
The extra folder it makes (think it tries to mark it hidden unless you have it set to show hidden files) is just stuff for iTunes to keep track (like HASH data and other stuff) to know what it has synced so it can tell what is new and what is old if you add more photos or folders later.
I have some huge images on my PC that I sync over without issue. iTunes scales them down when syncing to the phone (the whole optimize stuff).

Imac 10.6.8 will not sync with my iphone 4s 6.0.1.

I have iMac 10.6.8 and this is the only update I can get apparently. I have an iPhone 4s 6.0.1. I can't get iCloud because I can't update to 10.7 on my iMac. Only some items sync and others get duplicated.
Am i screwed or can I fix this? I rely heavily on this feature.
Many thanks for your help.

A video will not sync with my Iphone. Help!

See title. Using a Iphone 4S, video in question is Fairy Tail Season One Episode 12

I have had this problem myself... I have found, turning computer off and connecting iphone to computer an then restarting computer will allow itunes on computer to see the iphone and sync.
Hope this helps.

Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.
