Not all photos synching to itunes

I have set iTunes to synch with my iPhoto library, all photos and settings (all 1768 of them). However, only a portion of the albums sync, and only some photos within those albums. All used to sync; however, I moved this library to the shared user so my wife could access them from her account and that is when the problem started. When I moved the library back to my area, I continued to get only partial synching. Any suggestions for fixes or settings?

Still no success.
My problem, in part, is that I have 2 iphones. I transferred one to another computer that now syncs with iCloud. The other phone I was updating today on my old computer. It was recognised by iTunes, and automatically synched. Then I updated it to a newer version of iTunes, and lost my contacts on that iPhone. I have trawled to Windows Contacts but to no avail.

Not all photos in Event got synced

I found that not all photos in my events were synced into my iPhone recently, but it used to be ok.
I have already selected to sync "Selected albums......include ALL event" options in iTunes.
The event folder itself was synced but not all photo in the event get synced to iPhone, just some of them. Anyone got an idea on what happen ??
Thanks.

Well...first a quick question, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? Your profile indicates you haven't installed the combo update, which has a number of bug fixes. You might want to first repair permissions, then install the update, which can be obtained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL958. Once done, repair permissions again & check for any updates to iphoto, if that's what you're using.
Then, lets see if we can fix this mess. I'd suggest first removing ALL photos from your phone by un-checking the various albums or folders you have selected in itunes and hitting the APPLY button. Once you've confirmed that there are no photos on your phone, delete the photo cache on your computer, again, as described earlier. Then launch isync from your applications folder & under preferences select reset sync history. Once complete, reboot your computer, launch itunes, connect your phone, select what photo albums you want and hit apply.
Are any of these photos in a music slide show? If so, try disabling or removing the music BEFORE you try and sync them back.

I can see all of the thumbnails in my library but when i click on photo it becomes an ! not all photos do this but wondering if there is a fix

i can see all of the thumbnails in my library but when i click on photo it becomes an ! not all photos do this but wondering if there is a fix

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

IPhoto to Aperture 3 import - not all photos get imported...

Hello - My library is not huge, only about 8000 photos. Just bought Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library into A3. Seemed to go without issues. Today, as I re-organize a few folders, projects, etc., I realize that not all the photos were imported. About 700, to be exact. Every named Event in iPhoto imported over into A3, but not all photos within each Event (now Project). Any thoughts on what could have happened and how this could be avoided?
I could import each Event individually, but then I would loose all my keywords. Any work around you can think of? Thanks!

I would import each event individually, but I would like my keywords preserved
Using the iPhoto Media Browser (File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser) will get your keywords too.

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

Hi,
why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
Thx

If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
How are you"merging" the photos?
most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
select one and show event to see the event

Not all photos appearing in ipad when synching from mac?

Not all my photos which I have synched from my MAC appear in the IPAD. Any ideas why?

Do you get any error message ? Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync to see if they then copy over ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Not all photos show up in iTunes sync

I have always used Lightroom (professionally) and iPhoto (snapshots), but decided to give Aperture a try and bought it this week.
I have imported the iPhoto library (about 8000 photos), which went well. Then I wanted iTunes to start syncing my Apple TV (1st gen.) with Aperture instead of iPhoto. This seems very simple and straightforward, but the 8000 photos that Aperture shows don't show up in iTunes. It gives me about 1700 photos (this number seems to vary). It's the same when I want to sync my iPhone.
What could go wrong here? Why isn't iTunes seeing all the photos that I see in Aperture? This worked fine in iPhoto.

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

Not all photos in iphoto are syncing to ipad

I hope someone can help me with this! I noticed that not all of my photos are syncing to my iPad (original) anymore even though I have "sync all" checked on the photos tab of my iPad in iTunes. I have recently uploaded pictures from my sd-card onto my MacBook Pro from the little reader slot as well as photos from my iphone. All of these photos are organized into Events in iPhoto. My camera is about a year old so I've uploaded pictures many times before, but there are also pictures from two other cameras in the library. There are pictures from the newer camera that HAVE synced onto the iPad. For example, we have a ton of pictures from our trip to California (one event in iPhoto) last spring in which half of them show up on the iPad and the other half do not.
Also, if relevant, my iphone is about 2.5 years old (holding out for the new version!), and it seems like some of the pictures from the phone are synced onto the iPad from iPhoto and some aren't.
My ipad and laptop both have plenty of space for the pictures so I don't think that's the issue.
Advice I've seen so far...
After searching through these boards and googling the issue, I've read a lot about deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but I don't know if this is really for the same issue.
Additionally, I found a post on another site that mentioned an issue if the images have the same file name. It doesn't seem to matter to iPhoto if the names are the same, but it sounds like it may matter to the iPad (according to the one post that I read)? If that's the case, I don't know how I would ever prevent this from happening because my DSLR will always number the pictures in order, which is what my Point & Shoots did as well. I'm pretty sure that's standard for all cameras. If I were taking a few pictures every so often, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the names of each image, but when I'm loading 500 pics at a time, which is generally the case, I can't rename them all.
Help with this is much appreciated!

If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

Why are not all photos in the "Photos" app not showing on the camera roll?

On my iPad 2 (using iOS 7.1.2) there are 1,279 photos in the Photos application. The camera roll contains 77 photos. The About section in the Settings indicate I have 1,421 photos. Why is there this discrepancy in numbers? How can I move all 1,279 photos from the Photos application to a USB flash drive?

You cannot.
You have sync'd 1202 photos (1279-77) from your computer using iTunes to your iPhone.
You have 77 photos on you iPhone you have taken with the iPhone and have not sync'd to your computer and deleted from the Camera Roll.
You should regularly sync all photos in the Camera Roll to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.
-> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
After you do this, you can sync whatever photos you want, back to your iPhone using iTunes. (These are the photos NOT in the Camera Roll).
-> iTunes: Syncing photos
After all this, you can copy photos from your computer to a USB flash drive.

Upgrade to IOs8 and not all photo's have come across? I don't remember seeing a migrate photo option - help

Hi - can you retrospectively see the option to migrate photos from iphoto to photo's? If not how do i get my photos from iphoto to show in photos after upgrading? Any help appreciated

because IOS8 now doesn't allow iphoto to open anymore even though it's still there.
Have you tried it? When I launch iPhoto on my iPad or iPhone with iOS 8 , it brings up the question if I want to migrate. You just can do anything else but migrating.
. I plugged my phone into itunes and under photos even checked all the boxes for my photos and it appears some have come across but not all.
Do you have enough storage on your iPhone to accommodate all photos you selected?

2 Recovered folders appears and not all photos syncing

Using iPhoto 9.4.1 on my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion V10.8.2. Syncing with iPhone 4S 32GB on iOS6. Syncing with latest iTunes version.
When I choose to sync ALL photos with my iPhone in iTunes it tells me there are 18894 photos to sync. There are actually 18,923 photos in my iPhoto library. And then when it syncs to my iPhone only about half of those go on there.
When I choose to select SOME albums to sync, two folders are listed titled "Recovered Folder" only one of them has one item in it. These folders do not exist in my iPhoto library and never have. No idea where they have come from.
Also when I choose to select SOME albums to sync, another folder called LastNMonths also appears.
In the end all I want is all my photos on my iPhone. Same amount thats in my iPhoto album.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Cache. I have removed all photos. I have restored the iPhone many times.

I am getting events for photostream months, but these don't include everything either.
Here's a basic scenario of what's happening. Let's say I have 5 photos (not videos) that I took on my iPhone. All of them get downloaded in the photostream category on iPhoto on my iMac. However, when I sync my iPhone, only 3 out of the 5 photos end up going into events. If I force import them to iPhoto, it asks if I want to replace the dupes, because they are in my photo stream.
I can't figure out what criteria is used to determine this- it really makes no sense to me.

Not all photos in the Photos app are uploaded to iCloud

I have over 23,000 photos in my Photos default library, but only about 3,000 have been upload to iCloud. I have 200 GB iCloud storage (187 GB available). Can someone help resolve this?

Syncing iPad2 doesn't move all photos selected in iTunes from the PC folder.

In iTunes 10.5 I select a folder where I heve the photos to be sync to iPad2 and I select all sub-folders. On iPad some folders appear completly empty and others with just some photos. The number of photos identified ion iTunes after selecting the folders is correct (9470) but it passes much less. I've already cleared the iPod cahe file so iTunes can recreate it but the problem remains. This was already occuring before ugrading to iOS5 but it seams now is worst. Does anyone have experienced this situation?

From Germany with not perfect English:
I had similar problem. Files that were not transferred had either no file-ending (.tif and .jpg-files without these endings are not synct) or a wrong ending (.pdf for example).
And the Apple-Hotline told me, a next iPod-software-update would allow a better sorting photos on the iPod. (Actually you can not use folders in folders, and all Photoes are sorted by date; a little help may be a count-number at the beginning of the file-name: 01.... 02.... 03... This helps, however it is not a good work for so many photos as you have.)

Not all photos synced to cloud

This is a question about a problem where not all my photos from my Photo library are syncing to the cloud.
I have 41.246 photos in my Photo app library. I enabled cloud sync and I have a 200Gb plan with 130Gb free storage.
Only 28.349 photo's are synced to the cloud.
I learned that only consolidated photos will be synced, but when I select all photos in my library and select Consolidate ... from the menu I get a message that all selected photos are already in the library.
What am I missing?

- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.
