ITunes - iPod photo sync

I am attempting to sync photos on to my iPod from my computer using iTunes through the Devices menu, photo tab, then clicking sync and apply. Whenever I attempt to click apply however, a warning appears and asks me if I want to remove all my apps. Is that normal? Do I really have to reinstall all my apps just to sync pictures? Or am I doing something wrong?
Also, my iPod has 4.56 GB of free memory left and my pictures folder nowhere near reaches that amount.

I did.
Okay I solved it and I feel like an idiot now. I had sync apps unchecked so that was why it was asking if I wanted to delete all my apps. Thanks again.

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes/iPod/Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod.

And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?

AppleTV interacting with iPod Photo Sync..

Ever since I started syncing an AppleTV with the same iTunes that I've always synced my iPod with video with, every time I sync the iPod now it re-optimizes the photos. It never re-optimized my photos between syncs when only the iPod was involved. Now that I'm syncing an AppleTV it does it every iPod sync and it takes FOREVER! Any way to stop the incessant iPod photo re-optimization?

i can sync the photos as long as there is more than 50 MB of empty space on my (2 GB) iPod. once i add songs enough to have less than 50 MB, it says there is not enough disk space, so none of my photos have been synced.
This has been discussed here before on several occasions.
It seems that there is a certain amount of free space needed on the iPod in order to sync photos, as you have found. Once this free space reaches a certain limit, no more photos can be synced. This applies even if the photos to be synced take up a smaller amount of space than the iPod has left.
As far as I know, there is no way around this.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Apple TV 1st Gen + iTunes 10 + Photo Sync (with Aperture 3) = No Sync

I recently started to experience the same issues that others have reported regarding not being able to sync their Apple TV classic (1st generation) with iTunes 10.
I grudgingly disconnected my Apple TV from iTunes which wiped out all the content. Then when I started a new sync, the Apple TV (and my iMac) froze when trying to connect.
So, I disconnected them again, and quickly set the sync preferences to a "Custom" sync. After an hour of playing around with the settings, and turning on (one by one) syncing of video content, music and podcasts, I've narrowed it down ... to Photo syncing with Aperture.
All of the other content that iTunes will let me select, syncs fine. I've re-synced my entire music library, but if I even setup iTunes to sync 1 photo from Aperture to my Apple TV ... freeze-o-matic.
Anyone else run into this issue and/or been able to find a workaround to fix it?

Finally found answer, many thanks to:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

IPod photo sync generates Unknown Error (-39)

When syncing my 180 G Classic, my music syncs fine, but I get an error when syncing photos. "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
I have searched the forums, but there doesn't seem to be any reference to this error.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm glad your issue is resolved however please be aware if you expect a speedy response to your questions you need to start your own threads in the relevant forum rather than thread-jacking (for example many of us here are not at all familiar with how to troubleshoot iTunes on Windows issues).
kind regards

Itunes, ipod, photos and cotracts not working after safari crash

My Iphone is about 2 weeks old. It was working fine until 2 days ago. I was browsing when safari crashed. I restarted safari and continued surfing. Later I went into ipod to listed to some music. The songs were on the screen but the ipod game an "unable to play" message. I shut down the iphone and started it up again. This time when I try to go into ipod it just crashes back to the spring board. when I click on Itunes it does the same thing. I clicked on photos and there no photos. turned on the camera and took a couple of Pictures. I looked at the camera roll and they showed up as just outlines of blank icons. Cicking on the icons gives an all black screen. Going out of the camera then into photos shows no pictures.
I called Tech support and was told to do a restore. I then plugged the Iphone into the dock and was not recognized by itunes. Interestingly Iphoto does recognize it but not itunes.
I am baffled at this point.

By any chance did you buy any music from the iTunes wifi store before this happened? I am having problem that sounds similar; but in my case the iPod function shows "no content", and all photos are gone; but notes, calendar and contacts are intact. I also cannot get iTunes to recognize my iPhone to do a sync or restore.

First time ever - not a single reply to my question on iPod Photo sync

Well this is a not so exciting record - after 10 years the first time I get zero replies to a question...
Anyone have any comments on why I can't load more than 6000 photos onto my iPod Touch with OS 3.1.3 and with 5 gb of space free on my iPod? I'd like to get some additional photos loaded (and I could do this perfectly before upgrading my Gen1 (Dec 2007) iPod from OS 2.x to the current 3.1.3).
Problem only started after upgrade. I've done a reset; tried lots of ways to sync - but 6128 photos is max...
Any way to manually drag photos into the iPod? (Don't think so). Anyone else having a similar problem?
ANY COMMENTS appreciated here -- thanks very much. Really enjoy the Apple Discussions!!

Jim,
Thanks VERY much! I believe my settings are the same as I had used when in OS 2.x-- although it seems I've tried everything--
Basically I'm using iTunes to sync my photos to my iPod Touch (not iPhoto)- but of course they are in iPhoto-- 138 EVENTS - I don't really use "Albums" much...
I can get some events to sync by adding them (tickbox, one at a time) and am up to about 6300 photos - but this is not how it worked before -- Previously I selected "Events past 12 months" then checked any additional (say a vacation trip in 2008) and Voilà - it was all there (as long as I had sufficient memory / space on the iPod Touch - and if not just some, not 4 gb of photos were left off.
Thanks for any additional comments - or from any others who have a zillion photos on their iPod Touch and using 3.1.3 especially. But any and all help appreciated!
Best regards,

Itunes ipod movie sync problem

I have a bunch of videos on my ipod but just recently all the movies sort themselves in music instead of movies(on my ipod). when i sync a new movie it sorts itself under movies.
my question is: how do i get all my movies to show up under movies.;
and yes i tried changing the media kind to movie. but that dosnt fix the problem.any help is awesome!

Hi dg,
I had something similar happen to me, this is just a shot in the dark. I had set my iTunes to play on a remote speaker that was connected via an Airport Express. Any time a video came up, only the audio part played, because a video can only play on the local machine. I think it's the latest "remote audio" solution.
I had to tell iTunes to play from the local machine, then it was fine.

Bad iTunes/iPod podcast sync

I've noticed iTunes 7 handles podcasts particularly poorly. I've got it set to copy the last 3 episodes of a selection of podcasts to my 2G iPod. Some of them don't appear in the "podcasts" icon under the iPod in iTunes, nor do they appear in the "podcasts" playlist when using the iPod itself. They also don't show up as "Music" when viewed through iTunes, although they can be found by album or artist when using the iPod itself. Among the annoying side-effects are the fact that these "lost" podcasts are re-copied every time I sync the iPod, and there appears to be no straightforward way to delete them.
I dropped two episodes of a podcast that I don't subscribe to (ie, I just picked up two ad hoc episodes from the iTunes store) and they were treated the same way - they're on the iPod, but not on its "podcasts" playlist, and totally invisible to iTunes.

I figured out part of the problem - I had the sync set to copy "last 3 unplayed episodes", rather than "last 3 episodes".
Still, I see no way to get ad hoc episodes of podcasts (ie, from series I don't subscribe to) from the iTMS and into an iPod.

Yosemite, new iTunes and photo sync

Hi
I asked this question in another thread a few days but got no response. Perhaps I asked the question in the wrong way.
I have a new macbook pro.
I installed Yosemite and updated iTunes to version 12.
When I connect my iPhone 5 I can't see how to sync photos.
Previously in iTunes 11 you could move across the tabs and select preferences re how music, apps, photos etc would sync.
In itunes 12 it comprises only a drop down list - but photos is not included in the drop down list.
So, how do I sync photos?
Thanks

I worked it out!
Open itunes. Underneath the traffic lights is a row of icons, music, TV etc, an ellipsis, a divider and then an iPhone icon. Click on the iPhone icon and the 'old' tabs appear (almost). They are vertical and not horizontal. Select Photos and the dialogue appears. In my case sync with iPhoto.
Why I didn't see the iPhone icon earlier I don't know!

ITunes / iPod/iPhone Syncing w/Leopard and two laptops

My wife and I have quite an extensive iTunes library, with both music and purchased TV Shows / Movies. We have also moved almost to a complete mobile platform, I have a MBP and she has a MB.
Problem is, our iTunes library is so huge it won't fit on each of our laptops (and I even upgrade my MBP to a 320GB drive).
Seeing as iTunes wants to have the files local to sync with each of our iPhones, this poses a problem.
I was wondering if there was any way with Leopard server or any other method of essential doing the following (PS I have a PM G5 with 3TB of storage this would work out great with)....
Have an iTunes server sharing music/movies/tv shows, etc... each of our laptops able to point to it, not only to play, but to sync each of our devices, we each have an iPhone and at least two iPods). That way the files could be stored in one location, we could sync up our iPhones and not have duplicated files wasting space. Would like to be able to do this with Podcasts too.
It would be even better if we could click on a playlist and hit sync, and it would pull it down from the server and "sync" that playlist to the iTunes library on the laptop, in case we were on a business trip and wanted to watch a movie/tv show on our laptop instead of the iPhone.
If anyone has any hints or ideas to get this completely or partially it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. AppleTV is on it's way, so plug that variable in there too.

Are you using a version of iTunes at least that indicated by the teeny-tiny print in medium gray on light gray on the side of the box?
