ITunes won't sync all photos in album

I've got an iPhoto album with 280 photos in it. iTunes will only sync 10 of those photos - any ideas or solutions appreciated. iTunes nor iPhoto is displaying any error messages during sync.
Im trying to sync to an iPad2 with OSX 10.7 through iTunes 10.4.
Thanks, Paul

I managed to solve this myself - not sure how exactly, but I did the following -
deleted 'albumdata.xml' and 'albumdata2.xml' from the iPhoto library
deleted the iPod photo cache from the iPhoto library
reopened iPhoto which recreated the albumdata xml files
synced the iPad to remove all photos
synced the iPad to add all the selected photo albums
Weird process but fixed my problems.

ITunes won't sync all photos across from iPhoto to my iPad, either when using 'all photos' or manually selecting the events. All the rest sync normally

Can anyone suggest a workround or reason why I can't sync a batch of about 300 photos in 5 events on consecutive days across from iPhoto 09 to my iPad 2? All the rest (>1000 frames mainly before and some after) go over, including some shot on the same digital camera (before and after). I've tried using 'all photos' and also manually selecting the events individually, they won't go. An album containing some of these photos goes across without them included, and converting the whole album on iPhoto to a movie and then dropping that into my videos won't go either. I've cleared the sync history as advised by the support line, and all software is updated. Loads of room on the iPad

Started having the same issue with my iPad 2 just this week. Tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache, disabling then re-enabling photo sync through iTunes, but keep getting the error: "Some of your photos, including the photo “XXX.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “XXX” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad." This is with iOS 4.3.5, iTunes 10.4, and Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Interestingly enough, I have no issues syncing the same exact set of photos to my iPhone 4 (also running 4.3.5). This seems to be an iPad-only issue.

ITunes won't sync all photos

Well, i keep my iPhone photos backuped on my mac with iPhone and delete them from my camera roll after the download.
I have now 524 photos/videos in the library and thats what it says in iTunes too, but whenever I sync my device there are only 432 photos on my iPhone.
It is really frustrating, because I want to have all my photos with me on my iPhone all the time.
What to do?
Is it a problem of my iPhone or my Mac or even with the photos/videos in my library?

deleted 'albumdata.xml' and 'albumdata2.xml' from the iPhoto library

ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.

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.

Restored 4th Gen Ipod, now itunes won't sync all my songs, what to do?

I was having trouble with my ipod, so I restored. Now all the songs on my itunes won't sync down to my pod. It took like 20 songs out of 2000. How do I fix this?

replying to aissy55
It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

ITunes won't sync certain photos from same roll to iPhone.

Okay here is the deal. Sometimes after importing photos from the iphone's camera roll, iphoto crashes during the process of deleting the images off the iphone. It usually happens halfway through deleting, so there will be a few photos left on the camera roll that have already been imported. I then manually delete those images from the phone.
Whenever I program itunes to sync the last 6 months of photos from iphoto to my iphone, it ALWAYS leaves out the images that I had to delete manually from the phone. This is driving me crazy. It doesnt give any error messages, nothing. It's just seems like business as usual until I get on my phone, go to the photos and see that all the photos aforementioned simply didn't sync.
I go back to iphoto and make sure that the images are there, and they are. I've even gone so far as to take the photos that won't sync, place them in a whole new album and sync. That works. They go into that album and show up on the phone effortlessly. But I can't really do that because there are literally hundred to thousands of photos like that throughout the last 6 months in my iphoto. I don't know which are which.
I have tried deleting the ipod photo cash folder in iphoto, but that didn't work either. It simply resized the last 6 months all over again, synched to phone and STILL left out any photos that were imported into iphoto, but not deleted by due to a crash, and manually deleted from phone by myself.
If anyone could help me with this nightmarish problem, I would be VERY happy.
Thanks a lot, Luke.
Rest In Peace Mr. Jobs. Thank you for making the world a better place.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhone won't sync all photos

Photo syncing has worked perfectly for over a year then suddenly my iPhone doesn't sync all my photos. Everything in iTunes is set to sync all, there is space on the device and sync'ing seems successful. But I have about 1000 more photos in iPhoto than now appear on my iPhone. I have tried deleting all photos and starting again, but to no avail.
Anyone got any thoughts - this is seriously annoying!
iTunes v.9.1.1 iPhone OS 3.1.3 (3G)

Try this: Launch isync from your applications folder, make sure that itunes is NOT running, under preferences, reset sync history. Give it a minute to run, once complete, re-boot your computer. Launch itunes, connect your phone, the photos that won't sync, are they in a separate album or lumped together with all the other photos? If they are in a separate album, un-check that album in itunes followed by hitting apply. Once itunes does its thing, re-check that album, followed by hitting apply. See if they sync now. If they are all lumped together, just try syncing again...although without deleting the cache again that might not work, but give it a go anyway.

Itunes won't sync all the songs

My Iphone 4s simply could not sync all songs in my album. Itunes could make it look like it synced all of them to the phone while in reality only 70% of the songs are playable, the non-playale ones are going to be in grey and you couldn't even click onto them. When I plugged the phone into my Itunes again, it showed the same thing. So I tried to sync it, only to find that it would not carry any "grey songs" over. If you hit sync, it would sync the first 2 songs, then it would AUTOMATICALLY say sync cancelled. And in the end no songs have been synced at all, my phone is still without the remaining 30% of the songs.
There are absolutely no songs I could get over that are marked grey. Any of you have been through this before? Is there a solution to "reactivate" the grey songs? They're perfectly playable on my computer, just that I can't get it onto my phone.
I have had problems with Itunes before and I hope this incident won't add to the hate I have for this software.

mine is doing the same thing other than Itunes saying it can't read the format. I can't play 90% of my music. I took it to an apple store the other day an they told me only purchased music will work. Not even a music upload from a CD. Which to me is a load of ....because my wife has all the songs on her iphone that are greyed out on mine and they work on hers

ITUNES WON'T SYNC ALL SONGS TO IPAD

When syncing my ipad 2 to itunes on my desktop, not all songs transfer over. I select one play list to sync, and some of the songs move to the ipad though all show up on the desktop/itunes view of my ipad. It appears that the songs that won't sync are ones I've loaded onto itunes from a cd while all of the songs that transfer are purchased. Ive tried reseting the ipad to original settings, turning the computer authorization off and back on and hard resetting the ipad. And both the ipad and itunes are currently updated. And these same songs that won't transfer have transfered fine to my ipod. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

IPad 2 won't sync all photos

My brand new iPad 2 with iOS 5 will ONLY SYNC the 35/937 photos I told it to sync. I have 7.7 GB available. I connect my iPad 2 to iTunes 10.5 and have the following checked under summary:
Manually Manage Music and Videos
Sync only checked songs and videos
Sync this iPad over Wi-Fi
Open iTunes when...
When I go to the Photos tab, I have selected the following:
Sync Photos from: 'iPhoto' (Version 9.2)
Selected Albums, events, etc.
Then I have a few albums, events, and faces selected
I click APPLY and SYNC.
iTunes begins to sync and finishes in a few seconds.
I unlock my iPad and view the photos to make sure they are there. Only 35 are available (excluding Camera Roll and Photo Stream).
iTunes doesn't even say I have any photos on my iPad 2.
What is going on?
Why is this happening?
How can I fix it?

Here's one. Give more information.
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

My iTunes won't sync all of my music to my iPod touch

I know all of the music is on my iTunes, as I am able to play the items on my laptop via iTunes. Yet my iPod refuses to sync the content. I have reset my iPod, checked the sync settings to sync all music, made sure I have the latest version of iTunes. I don't know wether to assume that there is a problem with my laptop or my iPod touch. Please help! My musical life is at stake

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Try deleting the the iTunes purchased ones and redownloading them.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iTunes won't sync all my songs with my iPod

I'm using auto sync, just like I always have, and the box is checked to sync all songs with the iPod. If you check the bar at the bottom of the sync page, it *thinks* all 5000+ songs are on the iPod, and there's plenty of room left. But when you play one of the songs on the iPod, it says playing 1 of 800. Some of my songs are unchecked to not sync, but we're talking 100 max. So how do I get the missing 4,100 songs to copy??
The iPod is an iPod touch with iOS 5.1.1; Mac is using OS 10.9.1; iTunes version 11.1.3.

Have you tried performing a restore on the iPod?

ITunes won't sync all of my Audiobooks...

I cannot sync all of my iTunes audiobooks with my iPhone. When I look at my audiobooks in iTunes some of the titles are gray and others are black. They will both play on my computer but only the black ones will transfer to my iphone.
Any ideas why some aren't syncing?

ITunes won't sync my photo events properly

I have recently organized all my photos in iphoto by event and when I connect my iphone 4 or ipad 2 to itunes the albums are scattered and separated. As an example, in iphoto I have one album for my wallpapers but when I go into itunes to select that album to sync to my device I see several albums titled wallpapers. This has occurred to at least half of my events and I can't go into itunes and simply select that one event to sync on my devices. I have current software across the board, I just bought a new macbook pro and transferred everything from my previous macbook, and in iphoto I see only single events just the way I made them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried rebuilding the iPhoto database?
