Photo EXIF Data Stripped When Sync'd BACK to iPhone via iTunes
I'm not sure whether this belongs here or in the iPhone forum, but since it looks like an iTunes problem, I thought you all might have an idea. Here's the problem:
1. Take Picture with iPhone (3GS, if it matters) in portrait orientation.
2. Import Picture into Photoshop Elements 7.
3. EXIF Data survives (including correct orientation).
4. Put Picture in "iPhone Pictures" Album in Photoshop Elements 7.
5. EXIF Data survives (including correct orientation).
6. Delete Picture from Camera Roll on iPhone.
7. Sync "iPhone Pictures" Album (which includes Picture) to iPhone using iTunes 8.2.0.23.
8. EXIF Data lost (including incorrect orientation).
9. Picture appears on iPhone with incorrect orientation and all other EXIF Data appears to have been lost.
This appears, then, to be a problem with the way iTunes is treating the Picture when it syncs it back to the iPhone as a part of the "iPhone Pictures" Album, but I'm not certain.
My particular concern is with the loss of the orientation flag (which results in all portrait images rotated 90* CCW).
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Great bug report! Sorry, I don't have any ideas on how you might workaround it. I can only suggest that you submit it to Apple as a "real" bug report.

Duplicated pictures when sync camera roll from iPhone to iTunes
Dear all,
2 issues:
1. When I sync my iPhone to iTunes and iPhoto opens (if there are pictures on the camera roll not yet imported), the non-imported pictures appear to be duplicated.
It is obviously quite annoying as I have to go through and delete the second image manually. Does anyone know how to sort this? I don't have HDR switched on. I have tried un-clicking sync iPhone over wifi, syncing and then clicking it back on again and syncing. Both these issues only started when I upgraded to my iPhone 6.
2. My iPhone refuses to sync over wifi. Occasionally the icon of the iPhone appears in iTunes, but that is very sporadic when it choses to and not. When it appears to be in iTunes I click sync and it says an error message of sync not possible and then the iPhone disappears from iTunes and I have to plug it in with cable.
I have spent in excess of 12 hours discussing this with various Senior technical support teams members at Apple who display enthusiasm about trying to help me until the point in which they go home for the day and then thy do not bother keeping to their ringback appointment so it all has to start again from scratch with a different person.
Suggestions made: Replace handset: Done. Try connecting your computer to router via cable: Hilarious, but done. Restore iPhone: Done. Technical data sent to apple: Done, but never got called back at agreed appointment to discuss results.
So I am throwing this issue out to the community.
From a very exasperated iPhone 6 user!You should be importing these to your computer regulalry as you would from any digital camera.

Error message when trying to back up iPhone in iTunes
I am running the latest version of iTunes (12.1.2.27) on Windows. I have a iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3. When I connect my iPhone to my PC and select "Back up Now" under "Manually Backup and Restore" in iTunes it will start the backup but then come back and show the error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because an error occurred". It doesn't specify what that error is. I tried rebooting my PC and restarting my iPhone and reconnecting, but I am unable to backup my iPhone and keep getting the same error message. I suspect this might be an issue with with either iTunes 12.1.2.27 or iOS 8.3 as it started to happen after I updated both of them. Anyone have any ideas?
You can try going to iTunes with your device connected, select your device, then click view, show duplicate items

Music wont copy back to iphone via itunes
hi all i have an iPhone 5s 16gb on iOS 8.1.1 with 5gb of spare space. i am trying to get my music back on the phone after restoring and updating to ios8 with itunes12.0.1.26, i have added my music files to iTunes library then selected the songs i wont across to phone i click sync and it says it is syncing up, and it shows the songs as going over while syncing however after sync finishes it reverts back to just 2 songs on the phone which where brought via the phone.
are my settings right ?
but there is no music on my phone so im as stuck and confused as ****. please someone tell me what i have wrong and need to do to correct it, i have looked on google, and followed a few of the suggestions but none at this time gets me any further than i am at this time.done as suggested above.
applied n sync but result still the same
still only the 2 songs brought via phone, ive even tried deleting them n then syncin up n no joy -
My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -

Backed Up Iphone to itunes and when restoring its looking for a password to restore! None requested or set at original backup. Can anyone help?
I have not restored device so have all my data on it still. Am not pluggin it in for first time, did this originally when setting up phone. I have an option to restore to original backup as well as 'set up as new'. What happens if I chose the 'restore from backup' option.' how do I go about backing it up first - if i right click 'iphone'' option on left hand side under devices the only option is'eject' or 'restore'. I'm not sure that my iphone is being recognised by itunes - should it not give the name of my iphone under devices?

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?
Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks. -
I have an iphone 5. I have no idea of the ios version in it. Recently i broke my iphone screen and its showing up nothing. it was never synced to itunes or to any pc. When i tried to connect iphone to itunes in my pc it was asking for passcode which i had forgotten ages ago. Suggest me the possible ways to recover my iphone.
Since the screen doesn't work, it will be challenging to get it working, even thru iTunes. You will need to ask yourself if you want to invest more money in it or get a new one, especially since the contents will be lost since you don't know the passcode. Apple will gladly replace the screen for a cost that represents a significant portion of the price of a new. Once the screen is done, you may or may not be eligible for the free iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program.
Or, if you decide to salvage it and are strong of heart and firm of hand, you can replace the screen yourself for less. See here and note they carry kits with all needed tools and parts. -
I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?
Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.
Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
At&t, yes but there may be a caveat

Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.
The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. -
when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on
In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none. -

You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.

My album is not litsed alphabetically but it is when synced from PC to iphone. How do I keep the songs list in my iphone as it is in my album?
Check the section in the User Guide for Music, It might help you navigate around the app a little better: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
To reiterate, some reasons you may not be getting Albums group as you want:
Songs are not properly tagged in itunes prior to synching (you should also make sure Album Artist is tagged, BTW)
You are using the wrong view in the Music app
