No photo sync from Vista 64 Home

I just moved my PC from an old, creaking XP system to a new Vista-64 Home system (no choice, unfortunately, if I wanted to upgrade). iTunes (all versions up to 8.1.1.10) synced flawlessly and automatically with my AppleTV on XP. After days of trying to sync with iTunes 8.1.1.10 on the Vista machine, I finally reset the AppleTV and it showed up on Vista iTunes. But the "syncing" message showed up forever with nothing transferring. Tried it again and voila! all my music and movies transferred ... but the photos did not. Tried again, same result. When I try to sync photos it just goes into an infinite "syncing" message loop and nothing actually downloads. I have sync photos selected and the correct directory chosen (and I have verified that the directory is filled with photos). The result is the same with ATV S/W vsns. 1.0 and 2.3.1. Space is not an issue ... there are 126GB free on the ATV. Any ideas on how to get the photos downloaded?

OK this should NOT be this hard. I too am having difficulties with Photo sync. I get the eternal loop of syncing and it does not ever get to the point hwere it copies the photos. IU have seen similar issues from other users but no detail of how to fully resolve this and this lead seemed to disappear with no follow up to any resolutions.
I have installed the 64 bit version of itunes after accidently installing the 32 bit version. I did remove the 32 bit and then install the 64 bit.
I found detail on moving the photos to a public folder which I also did. This has not solved the issue.
The only other piece of information I saw was on removing the ipod photo cache file in the parent directory of photos however I could not fin this file (unless it is hidden of course).
So I am a very frustrated new vista user who has spent the last 24 hours trying to find a fix for this.
Perhaps I should have gone mac

Need Detailed instructions to install new hard drive & upgrade from Vista Home to Win7 Enterprise

Hi folks,
I have this laptop machine:
Lenovo 3000 G530 4446-23U Laptop Computer - Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, DVDRW, 15.4" WXGA, Vista Home Basic
I need to install another hard drive and I also want to upgrade to Win7 Enterprise Edition while doing the rebuild.
I am very nervous about doing this as I upgraded a W530 from Win7 basic to Win7 Enterprise and ran into all kinds of drive issues. And I thought that would be about as straightforward as you could get, but it a far cry from that.
I do not want to have to go through that again - I still don't have everything working on it.
Can someone please tell me the precise steps to take to do this upgrade and how to ensure that I obtain ALL the drivers for EVERYTHING on the laptop and how to ensure that all those drivers are correct and exactly how to install them.
If there are other issues associated with upgrading from Vista Home to Win7 Enterprise, please advise of those and the solutions.
Thanks very much.....
Gus

hi gmercanti,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
The easiest way to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 is to run the Windows 7 Installer inside WIndows. Follow this guide for instructions. After upgrading, you will need to install the Windows 7 Drivers for Lenovo G530 4446 via http://support.lenovo.com.

Upgrading from Vista Home Premium to 7 Ultimate

I'm upgrading my PC from Vista Home Premium Edition to Window 7 Ultimate Edition, but I have to do a custom (clean) install. Will Photoshop CS4 still work? If so, what's the best way to do this without killing Photoshop? will it allow me to reinstall onto a different OS? I had the same issue when I changed from an XP maching to a Vista Machine - Photoshop wouldn't work at all.

As far as I know you will have to de-activate and uninstall Photoshop before upgrading the OS and then reinstall and re-activate under Win7.
Even if it weren't necessary I'd advise it anyway.
Don't forget to save out any actions, brushes and any other personal extras!

HT4221 How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a computer

How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a laptop?

Hi Nancy 2803,
I am guessing you want to sync photos from your iPhone 5S to a Laptop i.e. a Windows Laptop.
Firstly when you insert your iPhone into your computer, go to:
1.     Computer
2.     Wait for the Laptop to recognize the iPhone
3.     Right Click on your iPhone Named: [NAME iPhone] or something simular
4.     Click import pictures and videos
5.     Click import settings
6.     Click Folder Name
This folder name is how the images will be arranged, either:
a) Date imported and Tag
b) Date Taken and Tag
c) Tag and Date imported
d) Tag and Date taken
e) Tag and Data Taken Range
f) Tag
I use Date Taken and Tag as this allows me to see in my pictures library a date and the images taken that date, i.e. all the images taken on the 25/12/2013, if you use date imported, you just get all your images stored in one folder and cannot quickly find images on a date.
In this setting you can also change the folder to where the images/videos will be saved, the name of the images as well as options such as delete images from the device once imported.
Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I cannot wait to hear from you again in regards to this issue.

Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

This is highly annoying.
I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
Ugh....

Photos sync from computer folders, but are in the wrong albums and some photos only appear as a white box?

On my iPad 2, I'm syncing my photos through iTunes from folders on my computer, as I am a photographer and don't like to use iPhoto and not have direct access to my original files.
My photos sync without any hassle, but when viewing them on the iPad half the photos present as white boxes or a half photo/half white screen. I tried resetting iPad as a last measure, I've deleted the photo cache etc, to no avail. In fact, the most recent time I tried it didn't fix the white screen, but also added another issue- my photos now are completely mixed up within the albums. Christmas photos and showing in the Easter album and so on, there seems to be no logic in it! As I was given my iPad last month by my father in laws company, they had bought their stock a while ago and it's now out of AppleCare support - even though I've only used it for a month! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
My Mac is a 1 yr old MacBook pro running snow leopard. My iTunes was the second oldest version, have just updated to most recent version, but it hasn't fixed anything.

Updating to the latest Iphoto release solved this. First time it rebuilt the libraries the pics appeared again.

Photos synced from PC to iPad are not in the correct orientation or the correct order.

Photos shot in portrait orientation are rotated on PC, but when synced return to original. Also, photos do not appear in the correct order.

They will be in date modified order, with the Photos app you can't change the field that they are sorted by - you will need to adjust their date modified fields on your computer to be in the same order as date taken.
Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and re-try syncing them and see if they are correctly oriented : iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

Duplicate files appearing in Windows Photo Gallery under Vista Home Basic.

I am suffering a bout of duplications in my Windows Photo Gallery under Vista. I am getting duplicates, triplicates and quadruple versions of the original file.
Despite turning off all Autoplay media types to 'No Action', I get random duplicates when I try to enter update pictures from camera or memory chip through a USB port. There is no 'Enter Updates Only' option, and Microsoft says that this is unnecessary as
duplication is prevented. The duplicates however appear with 'copy' in the file name after the image numbering system. My preference is to view the memory contents via 'Computer' - select and open the port, and view, then copy and paste into Photo
Gallery. Photo Gallery kicks in to view the chip correctly, but often/always (?) promptly uploads uncommanded. It did not used to do this, only in the last year or two.
What do I do, it is driving me crazy ?

Hi,
As I know, for Duplicate issue, it might be caused by a corrupted database, please try to rebuild it as a test.
Close Windows Photo Gallery
First show hidden files.Navigate to C:\Users\Usename\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo GalleryRename “Pictures.pd” to “Pictures.pd.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.

How do I remove photos synced from computer

How do I remove photo albums synced from computer without losing them on the computer

If you un-check them in iTunes on the computer then sync, they should be removed from the phone but remain on the computer.
Why would you completely delete the folders on the computer instead of just moving them?

Is there any way whatsoever to delete photos synced from iTunes?

This is something that constently frustrates me and I've never found a solution for it. I can delete music, videos, apps, etc etc etc from the phone to reclaim storage space, but is there no way in **** to delete photos synced through iTunes? It's bothered me before in the past, so I stopped syncing albums to my phone, but recently I had synced my albums of photos from my wedding to my iPhone so that I could show some family and didn't realize how much space it was going to take up. The entire weekend I could not remove them to download apps, music, videos or anything.
Is there any way at all to remove them? Via iFunbox, or some sort of "reset" option in Settings, or any other means?

What you ask is pretty basic. Uncheck the Sync Photos from option in iTunes and click Apply
Assuming your device is not modified/hacked/jailbroken in any way/shape/form

Satellite L300 - Upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

Hi all,
I just recently got a Satellite L300 with an OEM version of Vista Home Basic.
I have a copy of Windows Vista: Home Premium (upgrade) disc and decided to use it on the laptop.
I put the disc in, and followed the steps however the upgrade option is blanked out... This is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
The laptop came with Service Pack 1 already installed and the disc I own was released into the shops before Service Pack 1.
My main question really is how can I get my disc to upgrade my version of Vista. I have tried searching Google, this website, Microsoft's website and I keep getting the same answer.
Basically go through options and do anytime upgrade. All of these are for me to buy from Microsoft which would be kind of pointless as I already have a copy.
I did read something at on a site that stated my disc would have to have the service pack on the disk and I seen a website with some kind of disc editing program for Vista but im not too keen on using it and the 'how to' wasn't very easy to understand.
Also, im not too keen on calling either Toshiba or Microsoft on premium rate numbers for help with something I have already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.
Anyway hope someone can help because I would really like to upgrade.

Hello
I understand you and it is really annoying but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this notebook with certain Vista version. This version must be offered with best and latest available Microsoft security updates. Due to this Toshiba offers it with latest SP1 option.
So now you try to install update offered long time ago and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find solution with Microsoft. For example you can also pick up info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733
Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problems. All drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba support & download page.

Nokia Photos Sync From Date issue

My phone has been restored after a firmware update but Nokia Photos is only syncing info after the rebuild date not from the last sync date. How can I tell Nokia photos to sync from a date that I choose ?

Hi cbw9,
Could you please tell me the device which you are using?

School issued iPad--message that iPad is controlled by another computer. I need to sync from my home computer. How would I do this?

school issued iPad2 is controlled by another computer. I have to download from my home computer. How do I make this happen?

An iPad is designed to sync or connect with only one computer. Your schoool issue iPad was set up using a school computer most likely and that is the one that will sync wi the pad. Attempting to supync with a different computer will create problems. I suggest not doing that.
I see two solutions,
1. Email the docs you need to transfer from your computer to the email account that is on your iPad.
2. Copy the material from your computer and transfer that to the schools computer. Check with your Information Tech person at your school to see what might be best.

No audio / video through hdmi from vista home premium

dear friends
am using dv6000 with vista home premium
trying to connect tv output through hdmi but unable to show show either audio or video
with the same cable, i tried in diff laptop and it works fine
pls advise me
i have my windows and all drivers updated

When you run Lenovo driver installer downloads, the drivers are not installed. This is normal (!). The drivers are unpacked into a directory on your disk, usually under C:\DRIVERS. You have to follow the installation instructions (on the same page you downloaded from). Usually they say go to the directory where the drivers were unpacked and run setup.exe, but not always, so you have to pay attention if you choose to install the drivers this way.
The simplest way out of your situation is to manually install the Ethernet drivers, plug into the Internet, then download and install ThinkVantage System Update, and run it. It should churn away and automatically install all the right stuff.
Whether you choose to install the ThinkVantage stuff manually or automatically using System Update is up to you.
BTW it sounds like you MAY have blown away the Lenovo Rescue & Recovery partition when doing your "upgrade". If you did, and you want to get that back, you will need to call Lenovo for a recovery DVD, and start from scratch.

Photos sync from iPhone 9.4.2 got wrong display order in iOS 6

First of all, before I updated iPhoto to the newest version 9.4.2, all things worked fine.
I have set iTunes to sync photos to my new iPad from my iPhoto library, and I have create many smart albums. I know the display order of the photos synced to iPad is sorted by the photo's create time. and it's ok for me.
But after I updated to iPhoto 9.4.2, the problem come. The photos in the smart album on iPad got wrong display order. The order now is sorted by rotation! the landscape direction comes first, then the portrait direction after that. After some time study, I found this only affect the photos which are newly imported to iPhoto. The photos imported before I updated the iPhoto work fine.
Then I tried to create a totally new iPhoto library which contains the whole same set of all the photos, and continued to create the same smart albums. After I synced to the iPad again, the display order of all the smart album got wrong! They all sorted by rotation!
The display order in iPhoto itself on my MacBook was fine. The problem only occurs on my iPad.
I tried all my best to figure out why, and failed, then I thought it may be caused by the update of the iPhoto.
Yesterday, I visited Apple Retail Store, and met some geniuses. They didn't solve this either.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!

After a deep search in this discussions, I found a semiliar discussion in iOS section:

That may be helpful for me?
