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

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.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
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 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.

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 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.
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
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

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.

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.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

iDevices are not backup devices... restore your media/playlists from the backup of your computer.
Device not recognized in iTunes

ITunes will not sync my pictures or all of my apps. Everything else syncs just fine when the box is checked.

iTunes will not sync my pictures to my iPhone 4, nor will it sync all of my apps. Only a portion of my applications sync to the phone, even though all are checked in iTunes. I have never had this issue in the past with syncing any of my items to the phone. Problem has been ongoing now for a little over a month. All video, music and movies have synced just fine. The latest 4.3.3 software has been installed, as well as the latest version of iTunes. The phone has also been reset to the initial factory settings, completely wiping it out and starting over. This still did not fix the issue.

I have the same problem since getting iTunes 9. However, I think mine has to do with the fact that the apps that won't sync were purchased with a different iTunes account. I have tried to sync with both accounts but they still don't get sync'd. They show on the iTunes screen, they are checked, and they show on the iPhone screen where they will be when sync'd but once I sync, they aren't on the phone but still show in iTunes as sync'd. If I go to the App Store on my phone (3G) and look at the app, it shows "installed" but aren't on the phone. I have tried using my MAC and a PC; I have tried everything to get them to show up but to no avail. Anyone out there can help??!?!?!?!?
