IPod 4g photo sync problem

I have some problems syncing my abt. 4000 photos to the iPod 4g 32GB.
Its not a problem of space or iPod Photo chache eather ... its another problem...
I deleded the iPod Photo Cache quite often allready and I tryed out some other "ways" but still it's not proper syncing the Photos and than the message "[n] items could not be synced. See iTunes for more Information" pops up on the iPod ... iTunes just "finishes" the work without any errormessage ... but the data is still missing on the iPod.... o.O now i really dunno what i should do ... i searched all day already in google, I restored the iPod ....synced it dam often ...... HEEEEEEEEELP me please .....
ps: I'm using Windoof 7 64bit

*Hi, I had exactly the same problems....which are more or less solved. I don't know why but moving your images to another drive (alternate built in or removeable) and then linking to them to sync seems to work for some reason. I found this advice on another forum and there you go! It seems like we're not the only ones*

Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
Thanks,
Dean.

I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
Thanks.

Photo Sync problems (2nd g ipod touch, macbook air)

I have an ipod touch second generation (NO ios5: version 4.2.1) which synced and displayed my photos totally fine when i used my old imac with tiger.
now i upgraded to a macbook air with snowleopard and it says: "some of your photos weren't synced because they cannot be displayed on your ipod".
i tried syncing via iphoto and from picture folders, both won't work.
they're just normal .jpg pictures, but only about 50 of 2000 will sync (there's still 8gb left on my ipod so there should be enough space)
I'd be glad if someone could help me out!

Try trashing your iPod's photo cache. See this article to determine where your photo cache is located on your Mac.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
Otherwise, try removing the option to sync photos to your iPod and applying the changes and then re-applying the same sync setting so that photos do sync to your iPod.

Solution to my "iPhone/iPod cannot be synced" problem

My MacBook Pro has been giving me the following error when syncing both my 80Gb video iPod and my iPhone for a while now:
The iPhone|iPod "..." cannot be synced. The disk
could not be read from or written to.
I worked around it on the iPod by not syncing any podcasts but I wasn't so lucky (if you can call it that) with the iPhone - I couldn't sync iPhoto at all.
After one visit to the Genius Bar on Fifth Avenue and a further 18 hours of trying different things, I fixed the problem. It seems to have been some kind of file corruption in the iPhoto library. This procedure worked for me:
1. Move my iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
2. Open iPhoto and let it recreate its folder and default files
3. Copy my backed up picture folders to the folder iPhoto created
4. Copy the backed up AlbumData.xml file to the folder iPhoto created
5. Overwrite all files created by iPhoto in the new folder with my backed up ones
I don't know where the corruption was but the above sequence fixed my problem. The Genius Bar advice was to create a new user account on my Mac and then copy or move all my data files to the new account. That was painful, time-consuming and ultimately it didn't work. I don't think this is good advice to be giving anyone but hardcore computer users.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The sync issue I found with photos (and it was strictly hit or miss as the error message details nothing) is that I had to break them up into smaller folders of roughly 200 photos or less. A large folder will cause any number of sync errors.
The list of elaborate workarounds for basic functionality in every application is beginning to get on my nerves. The only thing I haven't been told so far is to jump up and down while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy if I want this thing to do what it's supposed to.

After 5.1 update photo sync problems

After I updated my iPhone 4S, iPad1 and iPad2 to IOS 5.1 I'm having problems syncing my photos. I also just bought a new iPad3 that came with IOS 5.1 installed and it has the same problems using iTunes to sync on my Windows 7 (64) PC. The problems are: not all photos sync into each album, many photos show up in the wrong album and several thumbnails don't match the photo displayed when I tap on it. Their are two common denominators: my PC running the latest iTunes (version 10.6.0.40) and all my devices running IOS 5.1. I've reported the iPad3 problem to Apple (case number 299629840) and the support tech and I have tried deleting the iPod photo cache, reloading the IOS software, etc. with no luck. The purpose of this post is to see if others are having the same problems with other devices on 5.1.

I am having a similar issue.
- iOS 5.1 on a 4S.
- Itunes 10.6.1
- Iphoto 9.2.3
With the 4S connected via wifi I select "Sync photos with" "selected albums..." I check one album only with four photos in it. Hit sync and the I watch the photos transfer in the top bar of itunes as it syncs. The orange status bar at the bottom goes up to show the photo data is on the 4S. I open the photo app on the 4S and the photos do not show up at all. No new album, no photos. The data appears to be there, but the 4S is not showing them.
I've tried deleted the ipod photo cache a few times and restoring. No change.

Photo Sync problem - Cannot read or write to disk?

Initial sync of my iPad. Photos seemed to download from iPhoto. Space indicated that entire photo library had been copied to iPad. when I go to look for the pictures on the iPad, the screen message is that no photos exist. Back on the iMac, a notice said that the: "The iPad XXX iPad cannot be synced. The disk cannot be read to or written from."
Th sync of my music library had no such problems. What am I doing wrong....all is fine except the photos sync.
Thanks!

This issue is discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1207
A common resolution is that one or more of the images being synced is corrupt / unreadable.

Brand new iPod touch having syncing problems

I bought a brand new iPod touch 4th generation to replace my 3rd generation one. When I first plugged it in, almost everything synced over. After I noticed my notes, calender, photos, and previously saved wallpaper photos didn't transfer over, I synced my iPod again. The second time, the notes transfered over but not the rest of the stuff. I tried to manually sync photos. Now, my iPod won't sync at all with the message "Cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." popping up. If I go into wall papers or simply photos, the main library is just a black screen with a scroll bar. It also says the iPod is up to date. Please help.
I'm scared to completely restore because I don't want everything to wipe from my computer.

If you are connecting to a hub discontinue doing so and try connecting directly to your computer and see what happens.

Ipod classic 120GB sync problems

Whenever I try to sync my new iPod Classic 120GB with iTunes 8.1, it shows that it is transferring all the tracks, but when it is done, only a handful are transferred to the iPod. No error messages pop up, but when I sync it with an older version of iTunes, it seems to work just fine. The firmware on the iPod is already up-to-date and I've even done a restore, what can possibly be wrong which is causing the sync problems with iTune 8.1?

I have got the same problem, everything up-to-date. iTunes has about 80 gB of music, but synchronisation results in only 30 gB of music on my iPod. Apple's helpdesk first advised to reset the iPod: that meant another 24 hours of downloading, but the final result was even worse than the first time. Then they tried to convince me that my iTunes tracks perhaps were corrupt. But manually I can download every album. Finally they recommended to use manual synchronisation, that in fact means that the automatic sync option is no longer available! I cannot understand that Apple support is not aware of the problem and cannot properly fix it. Also after first contact by telephone there seems to be no possibility to complain by e-mail about the recommended "solution."

Photo sync problems

I have tried syncing photos from my computer (Win7 OS) from the native My Pictures files and from Picasa. I have tried doing all folders and individual folders. The sync starts with it telling me that it is optimizing the photos and the volume bar shows that it is importing a large group of photos. As soon as the optimization ends and the import begins, it imports one photo, the volume bar drops out and I wind up with only one photo out of 1165. I have tried everything to get it to work but this happens every time. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

I finally figured out the problem and it has nothing to do with the iPad. I went into each individual picture folder properties on my PC and unchecked the box that says "Read only" and then clicked "Apply". I then synced the pictures using the select individual folders option and every photo synced to the iPad...FINALLY!

I'm running iOS 5.1 on my iPhone4 and my new iPad3. But I never saw this color effect on my iPhone3G or iPod2G as well. I did sync some slideshows as well, but that is done on a Mac, not a Windows PC.
What are the settings on your camera when you shoot the photos? Is the sRGB profile embedded by the camera? Any RAW formated pictures involved?

Need help with iPod classic photo sync

I received an iPod classic with photos of my wedding on it, as a gift. I want to move the photos from the iPod to my Apple TV device, but when I try to sync, I'm prompted with the warning that a sync would replace the photos on the iPod with photos from my computer's library...something I'm obviously trying to avoid.
Any suggestions?

If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:

HT1766 iPod OS 5.1.1 and iTunes Photo syncing problems

I use to be able to sync my iPod to my computer but since I updated my iPod OS from 4 to 5.1.1, I lost the feature to copy pictures from PC to iPod using iTunes. Can anyone tell me why and how I can restore this feature?

Photo sync problems with Vista

I have two iPods which I manage on two different computers.
I manage my 2nd Gen Nano on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP Home, and manage my 5th Gen Video 30 GB iPod on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The same photos are on both computers.
The problems is that When I attempt to sync photos to the video ipod on the Vista system, I get an error "some photos weren't copied to Therese's iPod because they cannot be displayed on the iPod". I've deleted the iPod photo cache folder and tried the sync again, but still get the error.
Since both computers are networked, I thought I would try and sync the photos from the laptop over the network as opposed to the ones on the desktop. In iTunes on the desktop system, I selected the photos from the laptop and they sync'd to the the video iPod.
What I am trying to figue out is, Why the photo's from the laptop over the network would sync and not the photo's from the local Vista machine.
Any ideas of what the problem may be?
Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP) / Dell Dimension E521 (Windows Vista) iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4 GB (Pink) / iPod Video 5th Gen 30 GB (Black)

It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)

Photo sync problems os 5

Just upgraded to os 5 on my 3rd gen iPod Touch.
Photo albums appear in list (on Ipod), but have no photos to view. Complete lib is very incomplete. Line graph on iTunes show correct capacity used, but LOTS of pictures are not transfering to iPod.
I restored once and had same problem. I am attempting to re-sync right now.
Any thoughts?

I believe I found a fix for this problem. I have a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch and this worked for me.
Download the latest version of iPhoto. (I think it's 9.2.)
Launch iPhoto. (It will ask to upgrade your iPhoto Library.
Allow it to upgrade your iPhoto Library.
Exit iPhoto.
Launch iTunes.
Do a "traditional" sync with your cable or docking station.
Your photos should now sync. (At least, it worked for me.)

p.s. I also turned off all photo streaming on my iPod Touch and in iCloud in Sytem Preferences on my MacPro.

Sorry, but your problem is not anywhere close to the OP's question, not in the same ballpark. The OP's question isn't a problem for starters.
I have not seen your problem reported here. I've haven't seen anyone report all photos on their computer are optimized for viewing on their iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process that are not selected to be transferred to their iPhone.
Try deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. This should remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and the folders or albums you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If no change after this, you may need to delete the iPod Photo Cache on your Mac followed by another sync. This will require all photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-optimized for viewing on your iPhone with a new iPod Photo Cache for the photos transferred to your iPhone being re-created.
