ITunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available.

I've turned my iPhone 4 into a iPod, meaning I only use it to hold music for my workouts. Ever since I've upgraded to Yosmite I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes anymore. I can back it up, but I can't sync. Each time it tells me "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available"  I don't want to sync any photos, just music.
I've tried to repair my iPhoto Library, restarted my Mac, restarted my iPhone 4 but I still get his error message.
In iTunes when I select my iPhone 4 > Photos, I just get a spinning wheel.
Any thoughts??

I can't follow the first link since I just get a spinning wheel for photos.

  • What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

    Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
    -iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

    Hi,
    I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
    A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
    It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
    There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
    They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
    They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
    For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

    I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma).  I have synced it before successfully.  I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts).  I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem.  I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem.  I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first.  Anyone have any ideas?  I am stumped!  Thank you.

  • The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

    Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
    First message I get when I connect the iphone is
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
    Then it tries to backup but I get
    "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
    When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
    When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
    Tried that MANY times but no luck.
    This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
    I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
    Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
    When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
    I can access my music and everything from itunes.
    I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
    I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
    Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
    This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
    Thanks a million times!

    I can't access it on the iphone as I said
    On itunes in summary I have  "Software version: 5.0"
    Yes I tried to restore it
    "When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
    "I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
    Anyone know of a solution?
    I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • When syncing my iphone an error message appears saying "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" can anyone help?

    I have the iphone 4 and when syncing my iphone an error message appears half way through saying "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" can anyone help? I cant back up my iphone as this appears every time :-(

    As another post suggested, I restarted both the iPhone and the computer, and that fixed the problem.

  • ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined

    There are dozens of reports on this bug on the forums, and not one of the suggestions worked for me.  After reading slocks post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17157627#17157627, I noticed that iTunes did indeed back up different apps each time I quit, restarted, and re-attempted sync, and that it always failed on the same one (USA Today in my case).  I deleted USA Today from my phone, quit and restarted iTunes, and synced again.  iTunes reinstalledUSA Today for some reason, but the sync completed then successfully, and all subsequent syncs also complete successfully.  I then noticed that the App Store was promptimg me to update USA Today, which I did fully expecting that the update would cause the problem to recurr, but it did not.  So it appears a corrupt app is causing this problem, and deleting the app from your phone may resolve it.
    If you are getting this error, my suggestion is to watch during the sync, and note which application is being copied when the sync fails.  Delete that app from your iPhone, and try to sync again.  Please post the results here.  Thanks!

    For me app wasn't the problem, the problem was the app needed updating.  I updated all in my iPhone, but that wasn't doing it.  I followed what someone else did and updated my apps "in iTunes" and it was perfect!

    Confirmed!
    I was getting the same error message. After reading your post, I updated all my apps in iTunes. Sync worked as normal after that. Now we'll have to see if this happens again when other apps are updated.

  • Error Message: iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined

    THis error happens even after i unlock the phone with my passcode.

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"

    When syncing iPhone 5s to iMac running Yosemite and get the following error:
    "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "iPhone" because your iPhoto library is not yet available. Please try again later."
    This phone has been syncing with iPhoto for some time now. This is a new one to me.
    Tried rebooting the phone and the desktop machine, same result.
    Interestingly, in iTunes when selecting the "photos" page all I get is the spinning circle for the iPhone, the other selections, Summary, Apps, etc., all load fine.
    The same situation is true for the iPad mini, the photo page never loads. I have not attempted to sync the iPad since this error appeared.
    Anyone familiar with this error?
    This mac has had the "iPod" cache folder deleted in past months to clear another sync error, but had been syncing fine since then.
    iTunes version 12.1.050
    Thanks!

    @CookieDuster
    We going to run a test and see if if this solution works.  Lets try
    On your super cool imac:
    go to system preferences>users & group>create a new account and name it test (make sure you set it as an admin account)
    get an external hd and plug it in
    next go to finder>pictures>and copy iphoto library that is located there and put in the external hd
    now log into the test account
    transfer the iphoto library from external to pictures folder.  if you see the same file there, do not worry you are just overwriting it.
    once that complete, I would like for you to test your iphone and see if it syncs over.
    Thanks!

    itunes cannot sync app to the iphone' my_iphone_name_here'because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

    I also got this message when trying to sync my 3G iPhone. I followed several suggestions found here: tried restarting everything, then changing automatic updates in iTunes. I  also tried the "scan for hardware changes" suggestion, but nothing worked.  Then as per the above posters, I also went into iTunes, selected Apps, and went to the bottom right to get App updates. A list of needed updates appeared with the icons, and as they updated, the icon would disppear, until I was left with   "SoundCloud".  It appeared to update fine, but the icon remained. I clicked "get update" a couple of times on the icon....it would update but the icon stayed on the list.   I tried to sync after this and still got the error. . Then I then deleted SoundCloud from the phone, and the sync worked fine.  SoundCloud was reinstalled on my phone during Step 4 of the sync. Hope this helps!! 

  • ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined error message

    I've been getting the "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined" error message for a while. I have tried restoring my iPod but as soon as I try to sync it again (even with nothing changing in iTunes or on the iPod) I get the same error message. Whenever I want to add music to my iPod I have to delete everything and then wait hours for it to restore which is ridiculous. Anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this problem?
    I'm using a 3rd generation iPod touch with 4.2.1 software and iTunes 10.5.3.3

    The fact that there is so many discussions with no clear answer is the problem.
    I went back and looked through all the different suggestions and and tried them all to make sure I didn't miss anything. What finally worked for me was making sure all apps were updated on the iPod and making sure all apps were updates in iTunes (under the Library>Apps tab NOT under devices) and then syncing.

  • Error message: itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected

    I received this message: "itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected" when trying to sync my ipad via usb with my windows PC - after the iPad applications failed to update when I selected 'Update All' in IOS6.

    Disconnect and restart the computer and reset the iPad:
    Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
