OSX Photos sync problem with IOS Photos

iCloud has 1521 photos, which are correctly shown on my iPhone and iPad including all photos taken recently.
Problem is iMac, Yosemite, showing 1558 photos - how can it have more??
Especially as nothing has synced down to the iMac since April 4.
PLUS it says it is uploading 3721!!!! I don't have so many and never have!
I have made sure there are no duplicates.
Is there any way to redo the database or whatever is causing the problem on the iMac?
Have rebooted, unticked Photos in Settings/iCloud and rejoined.
That made it worse - even more to upload (allegedly).

I just had a similar problem with my iPhone 4. Are you using wi-fi syncing or USB? I found that using a USB connection helped. I connected the phone, turned off "sync music," then synced. Turn "sync music" back on and sync again.
Hope that helps.

  • Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

    I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
    Thanks,
    Dean.

    I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
    Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
    If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
    Thanks.

  • Sync-problem with 'my photo stream' between iPhone (IOS) and PC (Win7)

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with the automatic sync of "my photo stream".
    My photo steam on my IOS device contains 52 photos.
    On my Windows computer there are only 43 photos available.
    There is no logic behind the missing photos.
    I took 2 more photos to test the stream. After I took the photos I've 54 photos in my album. 2 min later the upload seems to be completed because on my IOS device I've 54 photos.
    I've waited for over 2 hours now and on my Windows computer there are still 43 photos. So the new ones are missing beside some missing photos in between!
    What I've already done:
    # re-install iCould on Windows computer
    # reset iPhone to factory defaults
    # several shutdown and reboots of all devices
    maybe someone can help me with that problem!
    thanks in advance!
    cheers

    I tried the sign-out/reboot/sign-in and now it's stranger than before.
    On my iPhone I have 79 pictures in 'my photo stream'.
    On my PC I have 24 randomly picked photos in 'my photo stream'.

  • Photo sync problems with Vista

    I have two iPods which I manage on two different computers.
    I manage my 2nd Gen Nano on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP Home, and manage my 5th Gen Video 30 GB iPod on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The same photos are on both computers.
    The problems is that When I attempt to sync photos to the video ipod on the Vista system, I get an error "some photos weren't copied to Therese's iPod because they cannot be displayed on the iPod". I've deleted the iPod photo cache folder and tried the sync again, but still get the error.
    Since both computers are networked, I thought I would try and sync the photos from the laptop over the network as opposed to the ones on the desktop. In iTunes on the desktop system, I selected the photos from the laptop and they sync'd to the the video iPod.
    What I am trying to figue out is, Why the photo's from the laptop over the network would sync and not the photo's from the local Vista machine.
    Any ideas of what the problem may be?
    Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP) / Dell Dimension E521 (Windows Vista)     iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4 GB (Pink) / iPod Video 5th Gen 30 GB (Black)

    It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
    Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
    Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)

    The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
    1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
    2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
    3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
    4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
    5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
    6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
    7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.

  • PHOTO BOOTH problem with disapearing photos

    Hi,
    Im having problems with photo booth... why isnt there a photo booth discussion board?
    Anyway.. my photos seem to disappear from the menu at the bottom after a period of time.
    When i go into the photo booth folder to find the photos, i find that they have an annoying black border around them.
    YUCK!
    whats going on?
    thanks

    Yes. It just clears out your current preferences for that application ...it does not delete your pictures or any work you've saved while using that application.
    Usually if an application is acting up you can safely delete its preference file from your Library (your User Library that is) - this returns the app. to its 'first run' state - although as I said, your documents/saved files are untouched.
    Here's a link on the subject...

  • Sync problem with ios 5

    I downloaded the ios 5 to my ipod and after its done, i was trying to sync the apps to it but it says " sync failed to start "
    what should i do??

    I just had a similar problem with my iPhone 4. Are you using wi-fi syncing or USB? I found that using a USB connection helped. I connected the phone, turned off "sync music," then synced. Turn "sync music" back on and sync again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Music sync problem with ios 5 on iPhone 3gs?

    I've seen a few other posts with a similar problem, but no solution that has helped so far!  I have an iPhone 3GS, and have updated to the new software.  My problem is that the music says it syncs, in iTunes it even shows that 4GB of music is on my iphone, but when I open the app it says there is nothing there and that I can buy music from iTunes.  Any ideas?

  • IPad Syncing problems with iOS 7.1

    I upgraded to iOS 7.1. Now iTunes can't find the book and video files when trying to sync my ipad. Any suggestions?

    All of the original files are in my Download directory. I redid the "Add file to Library" for my books. Followed the process then synced the iPad but still had the same problem.
    I'll try it again just to be sure.
    Thank you for taking thetime to write and try and help. Very much appreciated

  • Sync problem with ios 8

    After I upgraded to ios 8on my 5S, I am now not unable to sync. The error message says that my iphone cannot be found! I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. Anyone ideas on fixing this? Thanks!

    Are you using iTunes Match by chance?  If even one of the songs in your playlist is "ineligible" for iTunes Match, it will fail the sync of the whole playlist.
    Look for a cloud symbol with a line through it next to any songs in your playlist.  You can sort by that column to make it easier to find them all.  If you find one, go to your main library page (not the playlist page), right click on that song and choose "Create AAC version".  That will create a new, iTunes Match eligible version of that song.  You can delete the other one from your playlist and add the new one.  Once you get rid of all ineligible songs, the playlist will sync.
    If you're not using iTunes Match, I can't help you...but hopefully this helped someone!

  • Audio Sync Problems With Share YouTube -- OSX not iOS

    I've replicated this several times. It's maddening and bizarre. *Share YouTube*
    Exporting a FCPX video using the "SHARE" menu and choosing YouTube causes the resulting upload to be out of sync when viewed in Safari or other browsers on iOS
    Viewing the same video on the iPad with the built in YouTube app, the video plays in sync
    Viewing the same video on AppleTV 2 (with the 5.1 update), the video plays in sync.
    If I export using Export Media menu item under the SHARE menu, and then from QuickTime Player choose Export For Web (under the File menu) and manually upload, the video is in sync.
    Note, that using
    Feel free to try on this short simple and silly video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGTQNMJdPRQ&list=UUiDxioBFJCPC-8OUFifsx8A&index=2 &feature=plcp
    Anyone else experience this. Is this a bug or a feature? Rather not go through three steps to upload a simple YouTube video.

    We've got the same problem and yep, it's infuriating that are so few posts about it.
    It doesn't happen with every video, but the vast majority of files that we've tried to either export directly to YouTube from QTX or export locally and then manually upload to YouTube end up with shockingly bad audio sync (and also some colour issues, but that's another story).
    As a small video production company we were chuffed to bits with the improved export speed in QTX and quick to make use of it. But when we realised there was a problem, we had to revert back to using QT7's painfully slow export.
    We've run experiments on a brand new iMac and MacBook Pro running the most up-to-date version of OS X and still no joy. Always the same audio sync problems with the same video files.
    In the meantime however,  we've found that the settings advised on this YouTube help page have given us the best (albeit slow) results at both 25fps and 30fps when exporting from QT7:

  • IPhone 3Gs syncing problems with PC and photos

    An executive at my company is experiencing syncing issues with his photos on his PC and iPhone 3Gs. He's gone to the Apple Store and met with a Genius Bar consultant and they've already wiped the phone "clean" and still is unable to sync his photos to his iPhone. Any suggestions or fixes are greatly appreciated. He recently upgraded his laptop to Windows 7, could that be a contributing factor? Thank you.

    Unlikley it's Windows 7.  Maybe delete the iPod photo cache?... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • HELP ME! problems with removing photos

    Hi, I'm having problems with deleting photos from my ipod. I've synced photos from a folder I created, and was successful in getting the photos uploaded. Later, I deleted the folder and a folder I didn't create called "Itunes Cache". I've tried syncing new photos from the original "My Photos" and only the old pictures remain. I'm tired of them and the space they take up! Is there a way to delete them without restoring my iPod? Thanks!

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    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.

  • Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

    Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
    I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
    Here are the different scenarios.
    -If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
    -If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
    -If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
    -If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
    -If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message  I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
    -If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
    -If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
    What I can do:
    - I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and  it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
    -I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
    -I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message.  I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
    I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
    -If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail.  If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
    I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
    I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

    Another problem that may be related….
    I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message  "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location.   Please choose a different location."  I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard.   I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.
