ITunes sync's photo's as .itmbh

I have been using iTunes to sync my photo's to my Windows 7 laptop for years withouth issue. The photo's always used to sync as .JPG.
iTunes has now started creating hundreds of files called ***.itmbh and cannot open or view these files? Why is iTunes syncing my photos as this file type and how do I get it back to syncing in normal way?
Thanks

Hi TiMtImInYtImTiM,
Since it is not quite clear where things are going wrong, it might help you to start with this article for your issue with syncing your iTunes content between your phone and your computer.

Should one method of syncing fail, please try the others. Also please note how what went wrong. Should you be unable to sync after working through this please post back with the version of iOS you are using on the iPhone and any error messages you receive.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes syncs new photo albums with duplicate photos

I have Windows 7 and have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
I have been trying to sync photos into an album on my phone. After syncing I find duplicate photos in the album. Only one or two photos have not been duplicated. Also, I can also no longer select "Selected Folders" in iTunes.
The folder on my PC does not have any duplicate photos in it.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

I have a similar problem. The folder in my computer has 101 pictures, and 101 pictures show up on my iPhone 4S. The problem is that only about half the pictures transfer and those get duplicated on the phone. I've tried rearranging the pictures on my computer and repeatedly synching.

ITunes syncs duplicate photos (Identical RAW and JPEG)

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2398472
I just don't want iTunes to sync photo duplicates. I had brought this up before and this is still an issue for me. I'd love to know if there is an advanced Mac user that can help solve this issue. By preference, I have my camera save JPEG and RAW simultaneously, which means each photo gets placed on my iPods twice. Photos take up 21.6 GB, could be almost half (some videos in the photo folders). I've submitted a feature request / suggestion, but I would like to resolve this sooner than later.
I searched around, hoping to find some method on OS X of denying an application access to certain file types; haven't seen anything yet. Why is this not an issue for others? Am I really that much of an oddball for wanting both JPEG and RAW?

Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

Anyone else having problem with RAID and iTunes syncing photos in Vista?

Hello,
For whatever reason iTunes can not load some of the photos from C drive. It can do it from D drive, though VERY slow. Both C and D are NTFS system, but C is a RAID 0 drive (implemented by hardware on motherboard, Intel 82801G controller). I just wander if this is something related to iTunes not working correctly with RAID drivers, or is it something else? I should say that ALL other programs and games working fine on this drive.
Thanks for the replies.

The problem is with Windows Vista using the NTFS file system, check out this post for the official solution. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it:

We have two iPads. mine is the first one purchased. I opened iTunes to put some photos from the Mac to my wife's iPad. I plugged in my wife's iPad. Both ipads have the same apple id and password. iTunes synced everything from my iPad to my wife's iPad. Now we have two identical iPads looking like mine. Everything on her ipad seems gone and replaced with mine, all her recent holiday photos, emails, settings, etc etc seem gone.
I'm toast!

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

Recently I am getting a message when I try to sync photos to my iPad from my PC in iTunes suggesting that photos already on the iPad will be removed if I sync. I don't want to remove existing photos. Any ideas?I

I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2. The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed. I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync. I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card). Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?

It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well.

How can I sync my photos from PC (Windows) to my iPhone in the new iTunes?

Since I have the new iTunes (version 11.0.2), I can't sync my photos from the librarie to the iPhone 4S. Previous I haven't got any problems, but now I can't find the folder "photos" in the iPhone register (when I click on the connected iPhone).
Thanks for help/ideas.

Itunes won't sync my photos

Hi
I have upgraded to iphone 6 and am trying to sync everything to the new phone. Have updated it to 8.0.2. I have set up the phone from an iCloud backup and then am looking to sync music and photos from iTunes (11.4). I have a Mac and want to sync all photos from iPhoto.
Music worked fine first time (about 4000 songs).
Photos didn't - there are just under 7000 photos in total - each event and album from iPhoto is now showing on my phone but 0 photos. iTunes shows:
Syncing Genius Data to "Dave's iPhone" (Step 5 of 5)
Waiting for items to copy
And just sticks there.
First time this happened, I cancelled the sync and followed the Apple suggestion of setting photos to don't sync, and then syncing, but the shells of events and albums remain. I've tried resyncing with photos set to yes and no change. I have restarted the mac and the phone, nothing doing.
Any advice gratefully received!
Thanks
Dave

OK have found the answer myself!
It seems my phone was still restoring from iCloud backup - even though it was hours after I thought it had finished. I saw this when I woke the phone up and it said at the bottom of the screen in tiny writing.
So, I waiting for that to finish/disappear, and then ran a test on 1 photo album - success. Now doing the same on my entire iPhoto contents and fingers crossed it appears to be working - running through 'Copying photos' as I type this.

Hello, flippytippi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little more information regarding what exactly you are experiencing when attempting to sync photos to better assist you. However, here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through.

Can't sync Aperture Photos with iPhone under iTunes 10

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 10 and when I go to the photos section under the iPhone sync options, I can select either sync all photos or sync selected projects under sync with iPhoto, but as soon as I select Aperture it greys out the selected projects option, and reports 0 photos in Aperture to sync at all. This also happened when iTunes9 was first released and magically fixed itself some months later. Does anyone know why my Aperture library no longer appears to iTunes10 and how can I get it to find it?
Cheers
Garry

I am having the same problem, I cannot select Projects if A3 is selected in iTunes. If All faces, albums and projects is selected the sync crashes almost immediately after starting the image routine.
1) Deleted the iPod data directory and files - no joy
2) Repaired, rebuilt database - no joy
3) Flipped sharing preference bit on, and off between program executions - no joy
4) Searched database for filenames with symbols in the file name. Found a couple - exported them from my project and deleted the masters - no joy
Then I noticed my facebook folders were syncing files DOWN from facebook and giving them very long filenames. Well, not long in the unix community - but upwards of 50 characters in length. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if this could be the culprit.
In any case - until this is run to ground I am unable to use my iPad for the primary purpose for which it was purchased - as a mobile display of my portfolio.
Going to sleep now - been up for 24 hours. I think I will try deleting my facebook folders completely (from facebook) and then will see what happens.

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.
Regards
TD

My iphone 4S doesn't sync my photos in itunes

please help... my iphone 4S used to sync my photos in my pc thru itunes but about a month ago... it doesn't sync my photos anymore... i've been searching online for solutions & how can i resolve this problem... please help... thank you in advance

iTunes only syncs photos one way: from your computer to your phone. If that is what you are trying to do, make sure you have selected to sync photos on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, including any folders containing the photos you want transferred to your phone, then sync.
