ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'....  I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces....   I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

The photos won't get lost.
You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.

  • Itunes will not sync photos to ipad 3 properly

    Problems I've had since ipad 3:
    I download and install latest itunes
    i tell it to restore from backup of my ipad 2 - it fails, it simply does not give me the choice to pick my ipad 2 restore, so i end up doing new setup.
    i tell itunes to slectively backup a folder containing 174 jpeg images that synced fine on my ipad 2 but on my ipad 3 it fails
    i can see itunes copying the 174 images but when i check on my ipad 3 they are not there. in fact it copied only 3 files.
    so i try again. i tell it to backup 6 folders of which contain a total of about 500 images
    after sync/copy is done i verify and there is only like 20 images?? where are the rest?
    i've tried every possible combination but no matter what it will only copy a few of the files.
    anyone else have problems syncing photos? it seems to work fine syncing apps, music just not photos which is my main use of the device since i'm a photographer.
    any ideas would be grateful.
    i've tried reinstalling
    setup my ipad as new and gone thru the whole process
    i double checked my jpeg files are they are present in the folder and open up fine.
    i just cant get itunes to sync photos properly.

    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.

    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.

  • Aperture 3.0.3 will not sync images with iPad via iTunes correctly

    I've read the forums looking for a solution to why my Aperture 3 library will not sync with my iPad when it is connected in iTunes. I have tried creating another Aperture library (which I then fill with a few images) and iTunes is able to see and import images onto my iPad. But when I switch back to my real Aperture library, iTunes can show the folders and projects but the number of photos in the folders and projects is not showing at all (i.e. 0). The sync process just hangs and does not continue from that point.
    I've also tried another suggestion about repairing permissions, removing the .aplibrary extention and using a new "dummy" library and then switching back to the original library. Nothing seems to work. It just seems buggy and slow i.e. spinning beach ball. Otherwise (beyond syncing to the iPad) Aperture runs fine, exports, e-mails, adjustments all works fine and quickly.
    I have a fast 1TB hard drive WD Caviar Black with 32 MB cache and only 350 Gigs used as the system hard drive. The Aperture library is located on the system disk and the referenced files are on a FW800 external drive.
    Anyone having these same issues? I can't seem to figure it out.
    I guess the only workaround at this point is to just export the photos I want to sync to my iPad into another folder or into iPhoto and import them that way. But it's rather annoying to have a "professional" application which doesn't seem to work as advertised (if Aperture is indeed the culprit).

    Here is what I have found out. iTunes will only sync to the last Aperture 3 library opened, and will only update when you close Aperture 3 and then reopen iTunes. Thats the building shared previews thing I guess.
    I am using iPhoto to sync photos to my iPad and iPhone, not Aperture 3. I export from Aperture 3 as original size JPG then bring in the exported photos into iPhoto. That way I can have multiple Aperture 3 Libraries and not have to worry about iTunes finding the wrong stuff. I know it takes out some of the automagic stuff but at least it works. But remember to close both iPhoto and iTunes before you try to sync, then reopen iTunes. I don't resize any of the photos for the device I let iTunes do that for me.
    Hope this helps

  • Itunes will not sync photos - itl file corrupt

    Hello All,
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.  The XP install had my drive partitioned and my itunes data was on the E drive.  Now with Windows 7 I have one partition (C) and I was able to restore everything from Itunes to the new drive.  All is well accept my photos which will not sync.  I renamed the itl file and let it create a new one and my photos will sync.  If I go back to the original itl file the photos stay there as long as I don't uncheck the syncphotos box.  I need to go back to my old itl so that my music libraries are correct - including album art, etc.  I don't know why this happened or if there is a way to get the itl file back to where it should be.  If I did not have so much music I would just use the itl file and recreate my music library.  I did see an article talking about moving the xml file to the desktop and deleting the itl file then restoring from the xml.  I am just afraid that my xml file has been updated so much since I had this issue start that it will not be correct.  Does the xml file only keep info on the music or is it a repository for all itunes data?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rob

  • ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch

    I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!

    There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

  • Itunes will not sync playlist with iphone

    I have playlists currently synced with my iphone. I check another playlist to add and it and itunes goes through the syncing motions but does not add the playlist to the iphone. There is over 4gb of space and the mp3's are available on my pc. If I remove a playlist from the iphone it does get removed but it will not sync back. There are no errors displayed. Itunes 8.2.0.23 and Iphone os is 3.0.

    I realize that but it does not Sync back when it has only Podcasts and if it has other then only the songs and not Podcasts sync back to desk. Songs work exactly as you describe.
    My point is that at least I can go on a long hike without having to start each group of Podcasts Subscriptions after it finishes the episodes in the previous one. That can be a real pain, especially on long hikes with short Podcasts. It takes a very short time to set up the on the go. I DO NOT LIKE THIS but it seems the only answer for now.
    I could restore the old version from my image backup then lose the neat new feature of arranging screens on the PC instead of the POD.

  • Itunes will not sync photos from aperture with iphone

    I cannot sync images in my Aperture Library with my iPhone 5.  I used to be able to do it, but now, no matter what I ask it to sync, the sync quits when it gets to importing the photos I've selected

    Same issue with iMac to iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Both with iOS 8.1.

  • ITunes will not sync audio to iPad under Snow Leopard

    When I try to sync audio (music and podcasts) from my MacBook Pro to my new iPad, nothing gets transferred.  They are listed under the iPad heading at the left of iTunes, but have a gray chasing-arrows icon to the left of the names.  (I tried to include an image, but it doesn't work.)
    My contacts and calendar do get copied to the iPad.
    If I boot from a different partition running Lion, with the same home folder, iTunes does sync audio files.  But I'd like to get it running under Snow Leopard.

  • IPhone will not sync photos with iPhoto 8

    When I sync the iphone I get this error message: "The iPhone '[user]'s iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." Everything except photos are transferred from the mac to the iphone. Photos on the iphone camera roll are transferred to iPhoto, but nothing comes back. I have tried erasing, restoring, starting as new iphone, etc. but nothing helps.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, I tried all the suggestions you all made. Nothing helped. Then, while helping my sleepy little boy go potty, the phone slipped out of my pocket and straight into the loo.
    Oh well... Now the solution is just academic for me.
    Thanks to all.
