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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I just updated iPhoto, now iTunes won't sync my photos with my iPhone.

    Earlier today I was able to sync photos just fine.
    Then I updated iPhoto via the Mac App Store.
    I connected my iPhone and got this error message from iTunes:
    iTunes could not locate a supported photo application. Would you like to change your photo syncing options?
    After I updated iPhoto and opened it, I had to upgrade my library. Could this be the problem? What do I do now? Apple Software Update doesn't show a newer version of iTunes available.
    iTunes 10.6.3, iPhoto 9.3, OS X 10.7.4

    That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
    For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

  • 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?

    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

  • My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

    My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • I switched from iphone 3GS to an iphone 4. Now itunes won't sync my apps, music,  etc

    I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

  • My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

    Hi,
    Two problems here guys
    1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
    2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
    Somebody help please

    Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
    thanks

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!
