ITunes photo-sync results in corrupted album-pictures on iPhone/ iPad

Hey guys,
after restoring all my iDevices to iOS 7 last fall I've encountered the following problem: when syncing photo-albums from iPhoto to my iPhone/ iPad using iTunes, certain pictures of  an album (or even all of them) end up showing as grey squares with a "JPG"  sign in the middle:
I was hoping  the problem would be gone after installing iOS 7.1, which is why I waited this long before starting a discussion here, but unfortunately it didn't. So here I am, asking you guys for help. Any ideas?
Best regards,
Waske
FYI: I'm running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 with all apps up to date.  All iDevices in question were restored using iTunes 11.1.5 and configured as "new" (no iCloud/ iTunes backup was loaded afterwards)

Are you able to view the photos in that album in iPhoto at full size?

  • What exactly does iTunes photo sync do?

    Using Win7.
    I have iTunes set to sync photos with my iPhone. I have designated a folder called "iPhone" under "My Pictures" folder.  When I sync my iPhone the photos in Camera Roll do not go onto my computer.
    I do realize that I am able to use other software to move the images from the iPhone to the computer - I can even use Windows explorer and just click and drag them. It would be nice if iTunes did that for me - like it sync's everything else.
    So what is the purpose of iTune Photo Sync if it does not ingest the photos from my phone?
    I read the manual, but to no resolution.
    Thank You,
    Joe

    iTunes data is not synced. iTunes data is a transfer process only. The data that can be synced by definition is contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks.
    It is called syncing for the masses to understand, just as most Windows users call anything harmful to their computer a virus - malware, spyware, and phishing scams are all viruses.
    Importing photos/videos from a digital camera can involve more than transferring the data, and everything with iOS devices is centered around a Mac and Mac applications that can be used for this and rightfully so. I use iPhoto on my Mac for importing photos and video from a digital camera including from my iPhone and iPad 2, and for photo storage and management. iPhoto includes an option to delete imported photos/videos from a digital camera after the import process is complete including from the Camera Roll with an iOS device. I assume adding photo/video import functions from a digital camera could be added to iTunes, but there are already applications on a Mac and Windows that provide for this.
    It wasn't confusing to me - namely because it is called a Camera Roll on an iOS device. Anything involving a camera involves an import process which iTunes does not handle with any other digital camera.

  • How can i create a new album picture in iphone 4g ?

    hi to evryone
    how can i create a new album picture in iphone 4g ??
    thanks

    Hello,
    As I understand, you would like to know how to create photo albums on your iPhone? This is possible only by first moving your photos onto your Mac or PC.
    On the Mac use iPhoto to sort your pictures into albums then sync them back onto the phone via iTunes.
    On the PC sort your photos using folders or software like Adobe Photoshop Elements then sync them back onto the phone via iTunes.
    Hope this helps

  • Can Anyone help me on how to delete imported album/pictures from my ipad?

    Can Anyone help me on how to delete imported album/pictures from my ipad? I imported them from my camera to ipad. I already connected it to my itunes but i cant seem to delete the imported ones. Thanks!!

    If you connect your iPad to your computer via USB, when it opens on the left hand side of the iTunes screen, click it once to open it.  Then click on the Photos tab and uncheck the photos/albums you had synced to your iPad, which you no longer wish to keep there.  Then click Apply on the lower right hand side and the photos will be removed.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps 

  • HT1386 I get on iTunes and sync all my music on to my iPhone. I then get on my iPhone and there isn't any music on my phone. I have updated my phone and iTunes on my computer but I can seem to put my music on my iPhone. Why?

    I get on iTunes and sync all my music on to my iPhone. I then get on my phone and there isn't any music on there. I have updated both my computer and phone but I cant seem to get my music on to my iPhone. Why?

    Here are some things to double-check.  The first two are optional:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    Be sure to authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    Check "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings

  • Itunes photo syncing issues between laptop/ipad

    I'm syncing photos on my laptop to my new ipad2 via itunes and randomly in each folder around 10% of the photos always come out corrupted with horizontal lines or even half the picture missing.  Have tried reinstalling itunes etc but still get random corruption issues.  Have managed to successfully import the photos if I save them to my camera and import via the camera connection kit but don't want to do that for the thousands of photos I have on my laptop.  Any ideas?

    I have now managed to find the cause of the problem.  All down to a conflict issue between itunes and Zonealarm.  The solution is to go into program access in Zonealarm and ensure that the iTunes Photo Processor program is set to NO ENFORCEMENT for trust level.   An alternative is to temporarily stop Zonealarm, sync and then turn on Zonealarm back on.  If you don't do this, a number of the photos (and it appears to be at random) become corrupted.  Hope this helps anyone else running Zonealarm.

  • ITunes Photo Sync Problems

    i am having problems getting photos to sync in ITunes. Everytime I ask it to sync photos,it starts "optimizing" the pictures.Next thing I know, my computer blue screens and crashes. I have tried to do this on 2 different Win Vista machines with the same results.Has anyoe encountered this? It would be nice to be able to do pics as the IPhone shoul

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • Missing Ringtone When Syncing with iTunes - How do I remove Corrupt Ringtones from my iPhone?

    PLEASE HELP!  I've been having trouble with a ringtone I purchased a few months back. Everything was fine, until a month ago when i synced my phone with iTunes, and my ringtone suddenly disappeared.  I have tried several times to sync / resync my phone again and again, and the ringtone is not there.  It is in my iTunes library under Tones, and it plays when I double-click on it.  But for some reason it won't sync over to my phone.  I've been in contact with Apple Support over email and they have put the ringtone back on my account twice, and both times I have been able to download it back directly to my iPhone.  But it's the same story all over again when I sync with iTunes... the ringtone just disappears, even when I checked "Sync Tones".
    Interestingly enough, when I take a look at my iPhone in iTunes, under Tones, there are 4 instances of the ringtone, all of them have an error icon next to them, as shown in the screenshot below:
    I've tried to NOT sync ringtones, but this list still appears.  For some reason I cannot delete these corrupt ringtones from my phone.
    In my library, the ringtones appear fine, and play fine when I double-click on them.  I don't know why there are 2 of them though.
    Please help!  I've been at this for a month and cannot find a solution!  I've re-bought the ringtone twice, but everytime I sync, it disppears all over again.  I think removing the corrupt ringtones from the iPhone may solve the issue.  Once I remove the corrupt files, I can start from scratch since the ones in my library play fine.  But the problem is I don't know how to remove the corrupt files from my phone.  Please help!

  • System freeze iTunes photo sync

    Hello,
    Recently I've encountered an error that I was able to replicate a second time: My system crashes when I quit the automatic Photo sync (a subwindow of iTunes) with my iPhone 5s. It isn't a spinning beach ball, the whole system simply stops responding to anything.
    What could be the cause? Both devices are this month's acquisitions and should be in top form.

    While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
    The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb". 
    In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
    With iTunes and PSE closed,
    1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder. 
    2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
    3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
    iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents.  The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
    Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

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

    I am trying to activate an original iPhone.  I keep running into issues (partially because the rest of the world is activating 4Gs phones).  I would appreciate any help that is available. 
    I am working on a MacBook running OSX 10.5.8.  My iTunes has been updated- 10.5. 
    I am currently getting a message- iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone “MRL iphone” because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined. The iphone screen shows the usb cord/plug pointing to the itunes logo whether attached to a computer or not.  And says slide for emergency use.
    -I have restored to factory settings several times both from a previous backup and set up as new phone. 
    -I have even attempted to use another Mac and a family member's windows machine with similar results on all.
    -I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    -I have put the phone into the recovery mode and restored from there
    -I have restarted both the computer and phone numerous times
    -I have replace the SIM card with a new card from the provider
    -I have received an email saying the phone was activated (and have called to verify with the service provider)
    I'm sure there are other things I have tried as well that I am forgetting, as I have been at this now for about 3days.  There have been times when I got nothing but a breif "accessing iTunes store" and then a white screen with the grey word iPhone in the middle.  At least now I have the normal summary screen when clicking on the device.  Unfortunately I am still getting an error "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone “MRL iphone” because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined." I am not attempting to sync apps, just sync the phone to get a current/clean backup.  I will want to sync the apps, just haven't been able to get that far. 
    By the way, prior to starting this process the iphone worked perfectly- no issues.  This just seems to have become an issue when I attempted to restore to factory settings for a clean start with the new line.
    This is the furthest I have been able to get in the process.  I really need to get this up and running soon as I will need the phone for the work week. 
    Please help!

    Not sure if this is a solution or not but it seemed to work for me.  Simply restart your iphone.
    From the iphone troubleshooting page
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Itunes only syncs PART of my library to the iPhone

    I made some modifications to my iTunes library a few weeks ago, and only recently noticed that my iPhone suddenly has NO music.
    iTunes looks completely normal; all my music is there, all playlists, etc. When I go to sync just a few playlists to the iPhone, it says it's complete but there is nothing on the phone. If I sync ALL music and playlists, it syncs about 10 items out of the entire library (250 Mb out of 10Gb). If I add a new song to the library today, it gets included in the sync.
    So it looks like the iPhone and iTunes are not agreeing on what playlists out of my library need to be synced somehow. If I delete a song from the library and add it again, now it will sync as part of the all-music-and-playlists sync. I can't afford to delete everything and add it again just to clean this up!
    Something to do with file timestamps or the iTunes XML file? Database messed up?
    I'd appreciate any help from anyone; thanks.
    Mike

    The list is only 5.6GB, I still should have 7 GB more of free space. 
    When the sync starts, the Audio portion fills to the 5.6GB, then after the sync, it drops back down to 2GB. 
    The whole playlist is visible on my iPhone in iTunes, but the other 500 odd songs are all grayed out. 

  • Albums seperated on iPhone & iPad

    I don't know how to fully explain this... but i'll give it a try!
    I have purchased numerous albums over the years on iTunes, and now that i have signed up to iTunes match have notices a lot of the albums are showing up on all of my devices as individual songs and won't group together as a whole album.
    This is easy to sort in iTunes on my Macbook and iMac, but on my iphone and iPad it's extrmely annoying as when i go into Album mode i see every track from the said albums as individual ones.
    Example:
    Does anyone know how i can sort it out?

    Hi Julien,
    Your solution is good, but not perfect.  That's because albums don't contain actual copies of the originals, just pointers back to the originals.  So when you edit a photo in an album, you're actually editing the original.  This is usually good, because it allows you to have the same photo appear in different albums, without wasting a lot of storage by creating multiple copies.  For example, you could have a separate album for each day of your trip, and then you could have an album containing all the animals you photographed, and another one for all the people, another for the landscapes, and so forth.
    So what Apple should have done, but apparently didn't, was to allow those sets of pointers to be copied from the ipad to the mac.  That would be the way to truly integrate the IOS version of iphoto with the OSX version. 
    Another important issue is that iphoto edits are reversible (in both versions) so if you don't like the edits, you can revert to the original.  It looks like Apple got this one right -- a photo edited on the ipad and then copied to the mac can still be reverted to the original.
