ITunes 11.1.4.62 sync -50 error (iphone 5S, iPad air) caused by iphoto

Hi
Hopefully someone here will be able to help because the phone help I got from Apple (in french) was very unhelpfull...
I am on an imac with the latest mavericks.
I noticed yesterday the -50 sync error, so I assume it started with the new iTunes update (which I did on jan 24th). Both ipad and iphone sync fine when I uncheck sync photos from iphoto (I always had that setting and never had a problem). When it is checked and I choose a few events to sync, the number of photos to sync never show up...
If I choose a folder of photos to sync instead it works fine.
I did restart everything, wipe the photos from my devices (by the way they communicate fine with iphoto directly), trash the ipod photo cache, if I use a new library with a few photos it sync fine.
I also did the repair permissions, rebuild thumbnails, repair database, rebuild database and I used iphoto library manager to rebuild my library, but nothing worked....
Also while I was doing all this, the com.apple.medialibraryservice crashed a few times, never happened before.
Anything else I could try before I start rebuilding one by one the event to see where the problem is?
I did see a few posts mentionning the xlm album data, but it was not very clear to me what they were recommending...
hopefully I did not forget to mention any important info
thanks!

I had been struggling with this issue for a couple months with Apple TV - my photos would not show up. Didn't matter too much. Then photos stopped syncing to my iPad and iPhone and after a couple days searching online, I have finally solved this issue.
There is a program called iPhoto Library Manager ( http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ ) It is only for Macs. I downloaded it and then had my iPhoto library rebuilt (previous attempts of doing this through iPhoto did not work). It takes a bit longer and scrambled the order of my albums (I had them chronologically), but when I checked some albums to sync, the total number of photos began showing in iTunes, which it did not do anymore. And now my photos are back on my iDevices.
Hope this helped!

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes, My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes

i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..

Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this. Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You will not lose any data doing this. Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

Since reinstalling itunes i can no longer sync. Error message says already synced with another itunes library. I get a blank sync - no songs, photos ect as it comes up with this error whenever try to select what is to be synced. Help - lost everything

Hello chathamcpa,
I found an article with steps you can take when you are getting Error 7 when opening iTunes. I recommend following the steps in this article:

Delete your most recent backup in iTunes (iTunes Preferences>Devices, click on the backup, click Delete Backup), if using a PC click Reset Sync History (also in Devices), then close iTunes, restart your device, connect your device again, open iTunes and try syncing again.

Itunes 11.1.3.8 sync problems with iphone 5 - help?

I have an iPhone 5 and I am using itunes 11.1.3.8.
I noticed that a few CDs I recently imported were not syncing onto my iphone. After a few tries at syncing, I noticed that under the 'On this iPhone' section the songs from these CDs were listed but were faded and had grey dotted circles next to them. A few more syncs later and now pretty much all my music content has disappeared from my iPhone. Every single song that I had before is still in my music folder on the iphone, but if you try to play any they just fade and come up with a red download circle and a stop button and the player skips through load of songs until it get to one that is still saved on my iphone. I had about 1100 songs before and although all of them are still in my music folder, the only ones still working are about 40 that are in a playlist I created and a few videos and songs that I never had on my iphone before because they were unticked in my itunes library but have suddenly synced onto my iphone. I had about 3gb free space before, when I sync it lists correctly how much should be there, but then it does a very quick sync and goes to having 7.5gb free. Incidentally, even though only 40 of the 1100 songs are working, in settings it says there are about 840 songs on my iphone. Even though the music has been the only real thing affected, the data on one of my apps has completely disappeared.
I have scoured the internet and nothing seems to help. I have tried to deselect all my music so it is all removed from my iphone but when I sync it just goes back to the same thing. I can't restore it to a previous backup because the only backups remaining are ones after this occurred. I have tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. I have tried reinstalling itunes. I have deleted itunes and reinstalled it again. I have signed out of my itunes store account. I have tried manually selecting songs but it wont allow me. I have tried unselecting the tick box saying 'only sync songs ticked'. I have deleted all my temporary files on my computer and cleaned out the registry. I have turned my computer off and on.
I have a feeling it may be somethign dodgy with itunes 11.1.3.8. I only downloaded this update within the last two weeks. It synced once before and synced earlier on today without these problems occuring apart from the recent CD imports syncing. The only difference today is that I added a £15 gift voucher to my itunes account and bought a song. When I bought the song, I did so through a cashback website. When I clicked through from the cashback website, itunes wa already open, and it seemed to refresh when I did this. Incidentally, this song is one of the few still in my iphone and working.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Thanks, I read the info, but it does not mention the IOS version.
Are you using yourself this combo of software?
Background: In The Netherlands I am getting the info on an Apple User group that there would be no iTunes Sync possiblity anymore with the intro of IOS7, which I cannot imagine, or at least don't hope so. They say that IOS7 does not have those sync possibilities anymore, so I would be forced to use iCloud.

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

I bought songs on my laptop which synced to my iphone and iPad. But I can't find them on itunes library on my home computer. However, when I click download for the same song it says it has already been purchased. How do I find it on home computer?

Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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?

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

New to Apple products (finally) - can I use my Itunes account with multiple products e.g. Iphone and Ipad?

Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.
