Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.

However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works!

When i go to attach a photo to email or load it to facebook it will not display any photos from my iphoto library and only allows me load ones that are in photo booth or saved on the desktop. Any ideas?

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Itunes will not sync my photos

Hello All,
I recently upgrade my system to Windows 7 x64 (clean from XP). My original XP install had two partitions (C and E) - my ITunes library was on E. When I upgraded to Windows 7 I decided to make it all one partition. I moved all of my music, photos, etc. back to the system from a backup drive including my itl file - I did this because it was a pain to categorize music from unknow artists that I had taken from my CD collection (I do not want to go through that again!). The itl file was able to orgainze everything properly except for some apps that I had to download again. The issue is with my photos. They will no longer sync. When I first synced I told it to delete all of the photos on the IPhone thinking that it would just put them back from the location that I selected.
I have tried so many fixes - removed the cache folder, moved the folder somewhere else, changed to a usb port on the laptop, created a new folder and added a few pictures to it, cleared my sync history. Nothing has worked.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob

My mac will not sync my photos from my iphone 5

Everytime I plug in my iphone 5 to my computer for the last week, iphoto does not launch automatically. So I'll manually open it and even though there are several photos that haven't been uploaded it says there's only one and when I try to upload it it says its corrupt. I tried creating a new iphoto library to put the photos but it still says they're corrupt. Any ideas? Thanks!

Email the photos to your self so you have a copy of them and then delete them off the phone.

Can't sync my photo from my iphoto library.

While syncing, an error message (-50) showed up.
After checking around, I found that i can't sync photos from iPhoto because it displayed no albums in my iPhoto library under the "Photos" tab but there actually are albums in my iPhoto.
It remained the same even after i restored my iPod.
Does anyone know the issue?

Success! The problem was due to escaped unicode characters within the AlbumData.xml file. I had first suspected it was the tilde-n combination within many of my photo comments. When I went to grep them out in BBEdit, I noticed an escape sequence for a unicode character in the search string. Unfortunately, replacing them in the AlbumData.xml didn't work. As soon as I would relaunch iPhoto it would put the characters back, which meant manually removing that comment sequence from a series of about 120 photos. Finding a script on Apple's site called 'Speak Comments.scpt' and commenting out the lines for speaking the comment (lines 15-18) and adding the following line before them:
set the comment of this_photo to ""
allowed me to remove the problematic comments from just the set of offending photos without having to do them by hand. As soon as this was done, iTunes recognized my iPhoto libraries and synced them to the 5G iPod without a hitch. The script is available from:

Ipad 2 will not sync edited photos from iphoto

I've changed some of my photos to black and white or sepia in iphoto. When I sync them to my ipad 2, they remain in color. Any ideas? It's only happened to pictures edited within the past month or so. Wondering if it coincides with a recent iphoto update. Anyone seen this?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well. itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

I link to it in th epost above yours.

Scroll down to;
Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
Pain in the ***.

Itunes will not sync photos to my New iPad, I run all current software. Itunes show 0 photos in all albums and events. Why is this and how do I get iTunes to recognise my photo library?

Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

ITunes will not sync photos

iTunes will not sync photos no matter what I try:
* deleting photo cache folder
* removing apps to free more space on iPod (120MB free)
I've tried many of the suggested remedies on this list, all to no avail.
I've noticed that during sync, when it reaches the "Syncing Photos" step, the progress bar stops spinning … hmmm?
When finished, I launch the Photos App on the iPod … it indicates that it is updating the library, but when it is done … voila … NO PHOTOS!
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Me Too.
I have just updated the ipod touch software to 4.1. The update seems to have helped improve the very sluggish performance introduced with 4.0 but now photos just won't sync.
These are the same photos that are on the ipod Touch from software 4.0. The other sync items seems to have worked.
The sync gets stuck with either "Finishing sync" and barber-pole scroll or Syncing photos 4 of 4.
Unchecking the "Sync photos" Allows the sync to complete.
The "Remove photos/Keep photos" option appears when changing the "Sync photos" option. Keeping the photos leaves the previously installed images on the IPT. Using a PowerMac G5.

Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

HT5868 I am always prompted to Trust this computer, but still my iTunes will not sync. I have Windows 8 on my laptop. All of my photos transfer to the computer just fine, but the iTunes is not communicating between my phone and laptop.

I am always prompted to Trust the Computer by my iPhone 4S, but still my iTunes will not sync. I have Windows 8. All of my pictures transfer to the computer when I plug my phone in, but not the iTunes. My playlists and purchased songs are not syncing either from the computer to the phone, or from the phone to the computer. I have been working on this for days and have tried every suggestion in Help

you just need to call the apple support or just book an appointment at the genus bar at your nearest apple store.

Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.
