Only some photos syncing from iPhone '09 to iPhone 3GS now

To troubleshoot, I only checked boxed a single album of about 250 photos to sync to iPhone.  When I do the sync only some photos within the album sync - some but not all.  Same with other photos albums too.  Does not matter if album is regular or "smart".  Never has this issue before now.  Lack of free space on iPhone is not the issue.
Rebuilt the iPhoto library by holding Command + Alt at launch and tried most of the options.  No luck.  Then tried all six check boxes in iPhoto.
I'm using...
OS X Lion 10.7.1
iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.5
iPhoto '09 (8.1.2)
iTunes 10.4.1
I must be missing something basic (I hope).  Anyone know what's going on here?

  • Only some photos sync from iPhone to iPad?

    Over a 3 day period I took a dozen photos with my IPhone 4( w/ ios6).   All are on my camera roll although 2 transferred to my iPad ( new, also with ios6).   The same two show in Photo Stream on my phone.  On the iPad nothing shows in my photos but the same 2 show in photo stream.  One photo, taken a couple of minutes of the other two did not come through.  None of the ones from two days earlier are anywhere on the iPad???

    But, for part of the photos, three were taken within a few minutes of one another with the iPhone on continuously.  Only 2 of the 3 went through.  Of the several from the previous day, none went through???    Marc 

  • HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.

    How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.  This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5.  You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

  • Why won't some music sync from iTunes to my iPhone 5?

    I have purchased several items from the iTunes store with no trouble syncing and playing on my iPhone 4. Recently I purchased two iPhone 5's for myself and my son. His phone is synced to my iTunes account and can play all content. My phone initially synced all my music and comedy albums. Occasionally I would come across a song my iPhone music player refused to play. I would touch the song name, briefly see the song/album and it would flip back to my playlist/song list without playing or it would skip to another song. Sometimes skipping several songs in between and flashing quickly the song title.
    To rectify this, I researched the problem on the forums and tried one of the suggestions of right clicking on the song in iTunes, converting the song to AAC and then deleting the original and re-syncing. After powering down and re-syncing, the 173 non-synced songs out of 808 purchased songs were no longer even on my phone.
    I accessed the iTunes store through the app on my phone, found the non-downloaded songs in the cloud and manually downloaded them to my phone. Although I couldn't put them in the playlists I had created on iTunes (where they are checked and the playlist is checked for syncing) I did have them on my phone and they played perfectly. After my phone was plugged into a power source with iTunes open and my phone synced, the songs were once again missing from my phone.
    I contacted Apple support and we spent some time trying different things:
    1) Selected tab under iTunes preferences for devices  "Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically"
    2) Reset all settings
    3) Backed up my iPhone for a restore - which we never did.
    I spoke then with a senior support consultant and we then:
    1) Deleted the songs from my phone through Settings > General > Usage > Storage where my playlists remained but were empty.
    2) We re-synced all my checked playlists. The songs were still missing.
    3) On iTunes we selected "Sync all music". Songs were still missing.
    4) Went to iTunes Store via iTunes on my Mac, looked up purchases and downloads, re-downloaded missing songs (there were only six of them and happened to be the ones that I converted to AAC).
    5) Created new "Test" playlist and dragged two of the missing iPhone songs into it. Synced phone to include new playlist. Playlist appeared but was empty.
    I had purchased two John Pinette comedy albums. One entire album will not sync and on the second, only two of the thirteen "songs" will sync. The support person asked if I wanted to change all of the m4a songs to mp3 and was going to show me how but when viewing the John Pinette "Still Hungry" album where the first and last song synced, they show the file ends with m4a, as do all of the songs that won't sync. This leads me to conclude that the file type isn't the issue, but that there is something corrupted with certain files from the iTunes store or a glitch that is incompatible with the IOS 6.1.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you been able to rectify it?

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • Only some iMessages sync between Macbook Air and iPhone?

    Not sure what the deal is.  I've been iMessaging a friend of mine on my phone for a couple days and the phone messages are all still there, but only a few of the messages synced with my Macbook once I started using it to message her.  I have a couple more convos that have been exclusively on my phone, the last message showing on the Macbook is three days old even though I've messaged them on my phone since then.  I've tried logging in and out of iMessage on both devices, not sure what to do about it.

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • HT4890 I had a new I phone and I turned on iCloud and photostream , then only some photos from my old iPhone that I thought it was stored to my iCloud appeared in my new iPhone not all the old photos what can I do to restore my photos

    I had a new I phone and I turned on iCloud and photostream , then only some photos from my old iPhone that I thought it was stored to my iCloud appeared in my new iPhone not all the old photos what can I do to restore my photos

    Can you just back-up the old phone to iTunes and restore it from there?

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • HT1296 Syncing my iPhone with Outlook in iTunes only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone

    Syncing my iPhone with Outlook, in iTunes, only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone, not vise versa.  How can I configure it to transfer data from my iPhone to Outlook as well?

    I had a backup from outlook that I restored to outlook and then used Itunes to sync the Iphone
    I had to turn off the ICloud sync
    The only problem now is that it does not sync my calendar or contacts unless i plug the phone into my compluter and tell Itunes to sync them

  • Only some photos go to photostream

    Only some photos I take on my iphone end up in my photostream album. I have not updated to iOS8 yet. Please note, the problem here is with photos not going into photostream on the device they were taken on (in my case an iphone 4s) NOT with syncing between devices. I have tried all standard troubleshooting -  closed the camera app, settings for photostream and icloud are on, wifi connected, more than 20% battery, signed out and back into icloud account, turned phone off and back on. It seems very random which photos go to photostream and which do not. I took three photos within 30 seconds of each other and the second one went to photostream, the first and third did not. I have looked and looked over the forum discussions here and have yet to find a fix. My husband has the same problem with his phone and a different icloud account. Sometimes photos make it, other times they don't and this includes photos taken within minutes of each other. Now that Google Play exists, photostream is (was) the only thing keeping me from going Android. Anyone have this problem and found a true fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
    Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
    If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    If the problem persists:
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • My photos transfer from my pc to iphone 4 with OS5 completely black,also the artwork on the pc is black.

    My photos transfer from my pc to iphone 4 with OS5 completely black,also the artwork on the pc is black.

    There is no duplication.   This is how the iphone handles photos.
    Just as one book can be in the public library and that exact saem book can be in the fiction section, a photo is in the photo library ( with ALL other photos synced to the iphone) and that exact same photo can be accessed from the individual folder.
    If you wanted to show your family a slide show of all of your photos, then you would use the photo library.  if you wanted them to see only Christmas pics, then you would use the folder.
    There are not two pictures, simply two places from which to access the same pic.

  • HT4236 how large of a tiff can you sync from your computer to iphone 4?

    what's the largest size photo I can sync?

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • 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.

  • How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

    How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

  • Why are my playlists not syncing from iTunes to my iPhone since updating to iTunes 11.0.2?

    My selected playlists are not syncing from Itunes to my iPhone.  As a music teacher this is extremely problematic as I use my phone as my primary music player.  Anyone know why all music syncs but not the playlists?

    First, you're not talking to Apple - this is a users' forum.  Second, sync operations work one way - iTunes to iDevice; create and modify your playlists in iTunes, then sync them to your iPhone.
