No Photo Library on iTunes 8

New ITouch (2nd Gen) and downloaded iTunes 08 on a Vista PC. I do not have a photo libraqry and I even try and add a folder to the pics and that doesn't help. How do I get pics (jpgs) on to iTouch? and I have WMV videos that according to the user guide I should be able to convert and add but having no luck getting them into iTunes Help I'm really frusterated

*How do I get pics (jpgs) on to iTouch?*
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod

Where is the photo library for itunes 11 on a 64-bit windows 7 computer?

I am trying to find the photo library in itunes 11 but it doesnt show up - only TV shows, movies, music, etc. I go to Edit --> Preferences --> General tab and under sources there is no photo option - where did it go?

There is no Photo Library in iTunes and there never has been.
When you connect your iPod to your iTunes Library, select the iPod icon on the top right of the window (don't eject it):
and then ...
and next, choose the folder that you want to use to Sync with your iPod...
... which in my case is named "Touch Pictures".

My Mac mini won't recognize photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space.

My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks

The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

Syncing photo library and itunes

I don't even know if I am in the right discussion group. I would like to know if anyone knows how to have a master copy of your iphoto library and for that matter your itunes library on one computer(laptop) and a copy on another computer hardrive(desktop) that are synced over a wireless network? I would like while I an in the wireless network for the library's to sync at regular intervals. And when I leave the proximity of the network and make modification to the library's to have it prompt me to make sure I want to update the slave drive when I return. I don't even know if this is possible, if some one knows a solution for this or a work around please let me know. Or if I need to find solutions elsewhere.
Regards Chad

I don‘t know about iTunes but this Syncing is not possible with iPhoto.
But let’s be clear here: By Syncing you mean two way copying, right? Changes made on the laptop are reflected on the desktop, and those made on the desktop reflected on the Laptop?
Bluntly there is no syncing software that is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library, and attempting to sync them will corrupt one or both Libraries.
The best you can do is use iPhoto Library Manager to move pics, albums or events plus associated metadata between libraries. But this process cannot be automated.
If, however, you mean one way copying: changes made on the laptop are copied to the Desktop, then any back up utility will do that.

ITunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library is empty

Exactly what the title says. iTunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library only has a couple of photos in it that obviously don't take up that much space. I tried unselecting "Sync Photos from..." in iTunes and syncing my iPhone that way, but nothing happened. The two photos remained in the Photo Library, and iTunes continues to say i have 15.4GB of photos. What gives?

You cannot.
There a re not duplicates on your iphone. Just as a song is in your music library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same pics ( not duplicates) can be viewed from the folders/albums.
This is how Apple handles photos.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

HT2905 When i use itunes to transfer photos from my pc to my iphone it transfers two duplicate folders onto the phone. One called photo library the other the name of the folder i transfered. I dont want the photos on my phone twice

Hi. I hope someone can help.
I have just downloaded itunes onto my pc.
Firstly when my iphone is plugged in and i open itunes it does not have a picture/photo folder under my phone listing.
Secondly when i go to photos from the top of screen and tick sync. It asks me to select the folder i want to sync with phone which i do. I then press apply and it transfers all the photos from that folder to my phone BUT it does it twice! I end up with two folders with the same photos. One named as per folder on pc and the other named photo library. I am not able to delete either of them. If i go back to itunes and unsync it deletes them both.
I have been trying for hours now.
If i just try to do it from my pc ie right click and send to iphone it wont do it just says phone not responding or disconnected
Any ideas?

You do NOT have duplicates. This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in your Itunes Library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the album.

How do i make picture files on my ipod touch 4th generation, without itunes wanting to keep deleting everything in the original photo library.... I was only able to make on and can't remember how, but when I try to sync when touch is hooked up to itunes

I have had my ipod touch 4th generation for a couple months now.... Nowhere in the manuals or help sections does it tell me how to make individual pucture files(like that already on my computer) put onto my ipod touch.... I managed to make one and I can't remember how I did it but when I have the touch hooked up to itunes and try to pick which picture files from my computer to sync, a box always opens and says that it will delete everything in the original photo library that was in there.....
Can anyone help me there has to be away, I know someone has done it but they don't live here to show me!!!!
Please and thanx in advance!!!!!!!

where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch..... So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....
thank u

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues?

After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
Hope this may help somone else.

When syncing large database of photos (107,000 photos) constituting nearly 35GB, itunes takes forever on "importing photos" even if i select only 1 folder of 10 images. Windows 7, IPAD Air both latest versions. photo library is on my local internal HD .

i tried selecting a folder with less than 50 photos as my source, importing photos phase still takes longer than what sounds normal for such a small number of photos, but the job is done nevertheless.
But what is worth noting, is that even if i run another pass of sync without touching the photos section (i.e. neither adding nor deleting any photo from the previous sync) it still takes the same amount of time on the "importing photos" phase.
when i select the actual photo library folder as my source (the one containing the 107,000 photos); at that point even selecting a subfolder in it that contains merely 10 photos generates the same dilemma.
i tried photoshop elements, spent like 4 hours building my library there, hoping that if i select it as the source in the photo tab in itunes, things would work out for the better, i was mistaken!
at this point am really out of options, and need some serious help.
few extra diagnostic infos:
the above manifests even on other devices like my iphone5.
the computer used is not exactly top notch but works for my Autocad drawings, i figure it should suffice for itunes (Dell Pentium D 3.19Ghz, 4GB Ram, 3TB HD, running windows 7 (32bit) ultimate)
the above persists when i sync wirelessly (not a USB bug issue)
please any help is appreciated, if you need further details, kindly let me know

Best Practice for very large itunes and photo library..using Os X Server

Ok setup....
one Imac, one new Macbook Pro, one Macbook, all on leopard. Wired and wireless, all airport extremes and express'
have purchased a mac mini plus a firewire 800 2TB Raid drive.
I have a 190GB ever increasing music library (I rip one to one no compression) and a 300gb photo library.
So..question Will it be easier to set up OS X Server on the mini and access my itunes library via that?
Is it easy to do so?
I only rip via the Imac, so the library is connected to that and shared to the laptops...how does one go about making the imac automatically connect to the music if i transfer all music to the server ?
The photo bit can wait depending on the answer to the music..
many thanks
Adrian

I have a much larger itunes collection (500gb/ 300k songs, a lot more photos, and several terabytes of movies). I share them out via a linux server. We use apple TV for music/video and the bottleneck appears to be the mac running itunes in the middle. I have all of the laptops (macbook pros) set up with their own "instance" of itunes that just references the files on the server. You can enable sharing on itunes itself, but with a library this size performance on things like loading cover art and browsing the library is not great. Please note also I haven't tried 8.x so there may be some performance enhancements that have improved things.
There is a lag on accessing music/video on the server of a second or so. I suspect that this is due to speed in the mac accessing the network shares, but it's not bad and you never know it once the music starts or the video starts. Some of this on the video front may be the codec settings I used to encode the video.
I suspect that as long as you are doing just music, this isn't going to be an issue for you with a mini. I also suspect that you don't need OSX server at all. You can just do a file share in OSX and give each machine a local itunes instance pointing back at the files on the server and have a good setup.

How to re-establish my iTunes photo library?

How do I initialize my pictures library on my PC in order to sync to my iPhone? I have the photos on the PC but iTunes doesn't recognize this.

Thanks King_Penguin,
You've given me the answer, since most of the items missing were from my CD collection I can reinstall from this source.
I am mostly repaired now with some photo library situations to resolve.
My new concern is that I want to purchase an iPad (latest issue) but am concerned about my ability to sync with it due to another weird situation that I have with my iPhone (My only telephone) which was to offset a very poor local broadband availability via the BT lines (the exchange is 6.3 km from my home with service marginally greater than dial up) hence my reason for investing in a mobile phone as locally the '3 store company' installed an antenna which allows me to connect (USB Tethering) to my PC via my iPhone providing me with a decent Internet service..
However, from my latest research on the iPad I need to have WiFi to sync. Hence my problem, while the iPhone provides a WiFi and tethering facility, I can only get the tethering part, although I have checked this out locally there appears to be no solution. What makes my situation even weirder is my PC WiFi card can see all the local WiFi hotspots (although mostly locked and not available, or if available are slower than molasses on a cold morning) but not my IPhone hotspot when not tethered. Until I have a solution for this I will not be purchasing an iPad as WiFi is their method of syncing. Now if the iPad had a way of tethering it would resolve the situation, another if only I'm afraid.
Regardless of my dilemma thanks very much for your help your number one in books. It's quite exciting trying to integrate the various technologies
Sincerely
Bill Clark
