ITunes not syncing after deleting photos via Windows Explorer

Hi,
I've got an iPhone 4 and recently filled it up with vids and pics on holiday. When i plugged the phone into my PC i copied all of the items from my iPhone via Windows Exploer (very handy i thought). Once i got a copy of everything, i deleted them via Windows Exploer
Unfortunately when i opened iTunes later that day i noticed that even though there were no more photos or videos on the iPhone, iTunes still shows 3.3GB used for photos and 6.2GB used for videos.
How on earth do i tell iTunes do update it's database?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to take another photo and connect the phone again to iTunes?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?

  • Can not sync after deleting three iTunes files using ifun box app

    Hi, I was having trouble with the new version of iTunes not recognizing my iPhone 5s. Using ifun box I deleted 3 files as suggested on a previous post. I can see my phone now but I can't sync it because it says I dont have enough free space to hold all of the selected items. Can anyone help me to sync my phone without having to restore it? Thx...

    Good day BroJustice,

    You might, for instance, delete photos, movies or music from the iPhone if you no longer need it. Apps that you no longer use could also be removed.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Iphone will not sync after deletion of Itunes

    I had to recreate my Itunes folder because it was "damaged", not thinking I deleted what I created and now Itunes will not recognize my phone.  I am not sure what to to do....I have already reinstalled Itunes again.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • IPod and iTunes not syncing after restoring library on new computer

    Recently, my computer crashed. Lost everything. I was finally able to restore my music on my laptop to iTunes. However, now when I upload new music from the store, it saves it on my library, but will not sync to my iPod, even when I manually try to sync it.
    Help!!!

    Since the computer crash, have you re-authorized it?

  • Can't access photos via windows, everything else works iTunes, external software etc.

    Hello,
    Since I installed Windows 8.1 I have quite big problem, can't access photos via windows explorer. iTunes and other software can see phone and works completely fine.
    There is error 28 in device manager.
    Tried uninstalling all services including iTunes itself and got latest iTunes today and still no luck.
    Anybody knows solution to this ?
    (iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.4)

    Is it just me, who got this issue ?

  • I manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

    i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update

    ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update. Computer see's Itouch as mass storage and charges. Worked with Window's 8 fine, as soon as update was done and restarted computer Itouch doesn't show up. Itouch seen on two other computers.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Can't be done with iTunes.  You can do it with the app PhotoSync.  It will transfer videos back to camera roll.

  • 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.

  • My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4

    My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4. It comes up well short every time. After syncing, I get a message,  "example 1171 photo's could not be synced, please see Itunes for help". I have lots of space/gb on my Iphone, so I'm confused. I've done a factory reset and done all the usual stuff, but to no avail. My Iphone is a 32gb IPhone 4, my IMAC is OS10.6.8 and my IPhoto is IPhoto 08. I appologise in advance if i'm posting in the wrong place, so please no nasty trolls. I just need good, honest, kindly advice and a solution to this. I use my IPhone as a further external backup for my photo's
    Kindest regards
    Paul

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    Regards

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link
