ITunes not synchronizing all checked photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I've just installed iOS 5.1.1, discovered that not all photos that I checked in iTunes had been synchronized to my iPhone, noted that Other was taking up lots of space, restored the iPhone from a backup, discovered that it still did not subsequently sync all requested photos, selected to sync no photos and delete those on the iPhone, and am in the process of once again syncing the photos that I selected.  In short, I have been experiencing the usual frustration with iOS 5, new version notwithstanding.
Now I notice that I selected 25,287 photos, but iTunes is reporting "Copying photo ... of 13,320".  Why just 13,320? I elected to erase all the photos on the iPhone, so I would expect that iTunes would have to copy all 25,287!
Has anybody experienced this problem?  Maybe Apple would be wise to invest some cash in software quality control.  iOS 5 and iPhoto '11 are seriously flawed.

The operative word here is quality control.  Quality control of a major number version encompasses regression and stress tests.  Regression tests ensure that what used to work still does.  Some regression tests can be automated, depending on the design of the program and the sophistication of any testing frameworks.  Some have to be adapted to take into account changes in the way something is done in the new version, which, obviously, is another source of error.  Some regression tests can only be done manually, with human operators following written scripts and comparing the outcome to screen shots, etc.  An important source of regression tests are bug reports.  Once the bugs have been resolved tests should be created in order to ensure that they don't reappear.  Stress testing, at least when the stress factors can be tested separately, is relatively straight forward.  Things get more complicated when the stress consists of various processes running simultaneously.
As you can imagine, quality control, incuding support, depends on available manpower and, generally speaking, the more manpower available the better.

  • Error transfer photos from iPhoto to iphone 4.

    i have problem sync all my photos from iPhoto to iPhone 4, iPhone is 4.2.1, iTune is 10.2.2., iPhoto'09 8.1.2
    Do i need to upgrade to iPhone 4.3.3 or iPhoto '11 for solving this issue? But it doesn't make sense. Please help!

    I don't know if you solved this already or what, but I had a similar problem with my iPhone4 - no joy recognizing the photo folder in iPhoto or anywhere else, but no problems with iTunes.  Same problem in both Windows and OSX.  I gave up trying to get iPhoto, photo capture to work and went looking on the AppStore for an alternative.
    Downloaded Photo Transfer,
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
    this solved all my problems immediately.  Ridiculously annoying that the default application doesn't work anymore and that Apple have made it sooo difficult to get to our data, and doubly annoying that the Photo Transfer app isn't free - but it seriously works like a charm. 

  • Why won't all the photos from iPhoto sync onto my iPhone 5?

    I am trying to put all the photos from iPhoto on my Mac onto my iPhone 5. Through iTunes, I select sync photos with iPhoto, then sync all photos, albums, events and faces. There are 285 photos in my iPhoto library and I would like to sync them all, but after the sync when I look at the photos on my phone, only 187 synced. What am I doing wrong?

    I find the easiest way to transfer photos from iphoto or your computer in general onto your iPhone is to select the ones you want and click share then either iMessage or email them to yourself, its much faster and I don't know about you but i find iTunes to be a real pain when you sync photos because it always messes up your albums on your phone!

  • HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

  • Hello i accidentally synced all my photos from Iphoto and they doubled, i removed them all eventually to re-import them again, but i have no camera folder anymore and i have a folder called "From Mac" how can i turn it back to normal?

    hello i accidentally synced all my photos from Iphoto and they doubled, i removed them all eventually to re-import them again, but i have no camera folder anymore and i have a folder called "From Mac" how can i turn it back to normal?

    That is normal for photos synced from a computer to a phone using iTunes. Synced photos were never placed in the Camera Roll. Additionally since iOS 8 there is no Camera Roll: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/19/goodbye-camera-roll-where-to-find-your -photos-in-ios-8

  • Need to transfer all my photos from iPhoto app in my computer to another one, which files do I need to copy?

    Need to transfer all my photos from iPhoto app in my computer to another one, which files do I need to copy?

    You need to find your iPhoto Library and copy this package to your other computer.
    By default the library will be called iPhoto Libary.photolibrary and located in your Pictures folder. YOu will recognize it by the typical "fan of pictures" icon. The color of the icon wil depend on the iPhoto version. What is your version of iPhoto?

  • Import photos from iPhoto to iPhone

    How does one import photos from iPhoto to iPhone?
    I have looked on the user guide and have found no answer.
    Thanks!

    Question: How do you just have the Photo albums on the Iphone and not the Photo Library? Or just have the photo library without the photo albums? I have 146 photos in the library and the folders (two with 87 in one and 59 in the other) That are also in the library. It seems like having duplicates will take up space that I don't want to take up.

  • I cannot sync all my photos from mac ti iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos arte copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac!

    I cannot sync all my photos from mac to iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos are copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac! I select The album that I want to sync on The iPhone on iTunes but the syncronization finishes before all the photos of the selected albums are copied on The phone.

    You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

  • When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

    When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

    Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
    This is from the download page:
    This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
    So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync.  If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.

  • Limitation Importing Photos from Iphoto to Iphone

    I have over 28,000 photos on an external drive and want to import just selected photos, individual from there to my Iphone. In Itunes, I have the option to Sync Photo from Iphoto, or I can choose to sync from a specific folder.
    If I pick Iphoto, I then have the option to pick all photos and albums (28,582 photos), a selection of recent events (1,3,5,10,or 20 most recent) or selected albums. Selected albums only gives me 3 choices Last Import, Last 12 Months or another folder called "test". None of these options allows me to pick an event or individual photo from say 4 years ago as an example.
    If I choose the option to sync from a specific folder, I am also unable to navigate to a particular event other than folders that have been exported from Iphoto into the pictures folder. If I try to navaigate to applications and pick Iphoto, its grayed out and I cannot select it.
    Please tell me that I do not have to export each specific picture one by one just to get them onto my Iphone???

    Have you created any albums in iPhoto? if so, you should see them in the list along with "Last 12 Months" and "Last Import"; if not, when you do create them you'll see them. Create an album called "iPhone" (or whatever else you want to call it), put the pictures you want on your iPhone into that folder and sync it.

  • Download Photos from iPhoto to iPhone?

    When I switched over from my old iPhone to a new iPhone 6, I synched on iTunes, but none of my photos on the old phone came over, and they all disappeared from iTunes.  THey are all still on my old phone, and I was able to load the old photos into iPhoto.  But now I cannot figure out how to gett hem onto my new iPhone?
    THanks for any help!

    Thanks - but that didn't work.
    They are not on my new phone.
    They are on my old phone.
    And in iPhoto.
    SO now I have all my photos in iPhoto, and shared them all on my account in iCloud.  But they show up nowhere on my iPhone.  I have gone into settings, and in iCloud have turned on sharing, have "Upload to my Photo Stream" turned on, and the iCloud photo library turned on, which says that it is suposed to automatically upload my photos & videos.  But they are nowhere to be found in my Photo stream.  AND when I tried to upload videos to the cloud I got a message saying that I can only upload jog's, not videos.
    SO I've still been unable to see my old photos that were on my iPhone 4S.

  • Importing photos from iphoto to iphone

    I have the 'old' version of the iphone and cannot transfer photos from iphoto to the iphone. When i click on the photos tab for the iphone in itunes, the albums and everything except "sync photos from" at the very top are grayed out. Then my only option is to import everything from iphoto onto the iphone, which i do not want to do.
    So -- how do I import only certain folders from iphoto onto the phone? How do i get the options below to not be grayed out?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

    newuser1969,
    Did you try to rebuild the photo library?
    You can find out if the issue is caused by the iPhoto library by testing with an alternate library. Just launch iPhoto while holding Option as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 Then import a few photos and open iTunes.
    If the issue only happens with your main library, it probably needs to be rebuilt using the article I linked in my first response.
    If iTunes does not see the alternate iPhoto library, you may want to uninstall and reinstall iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • Importing photos from iPhoto into iPhone

    I know you can import from iphone to iphoto...
    is there a way to import from iphoto to iphone?

    Yes connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab check the sync box and select from the menu next to Sync photos from: "iPhoto" instead of "choose folder"

  • Cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to iPhone

    I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.). Attempting to sync from folders other than iPhoto works fine.
    I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then removing the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the cache, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and trying to sync again.)
    I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
    iMac running OS X 10.9.1
    iPhoto 9.5.1
    iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4

    Additional info: I tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and even rebuilding the database in iPhoto. Rebuilding eliminated all ordering in my albums. Since this seemed to be only messing things up further, I then tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from a previous version in Time Machine (when synching photos still worked). However, the problem persists. I am still unable to sync any photos from iTunes to my phone.
