Photo's messed up when syncing from iTunes 10 to iPhone OS 4.1

Every time I sync photos from my PC to the iPhone the album goes all messed up. When I click the album the grid lines are all over the place and the photo's are overlapping and like a jigsaw puzzle. When I click to open a photograph the actual photograph is fine so it must just be the thumbnail.
I suspect is a bug in software when its creating the preview table. This could be my iPhone or iTunes, not sure.
So far i have reset my phone to factory default using iTunes, i have done a complete remove and reinstall of itunes inc removing all the sister software, even deleted the user files etc.
Can't figure out why its doing this but if anyone has any suggestions i'd be happy to hear them.
See the screen shot i took of it doing it:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=123520&id=223100326&l=39b782b90d

I later discovered from reading posts on this site that it was Zone Alarm causing corruption of the photographs during the sync process.
I disabled Zone Alarm and tried to sync the photographs again and it worked fine!

HT203200 Error (-50 when sync from iTunes

Error (-50 when sync from iTunes ???

There countless posts on this?! I'm in the same boat.
PLEASE stop posting about the 3rd party or Firewall getting in the way. Does not apply.
I've turned off the firewall and have no 3rd party anything.
The issue is itunes will not sync with 11.1.4 and iphone (5).
Anyone?

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

Itunes will only allow sync from itunes to iphone

purchased new macbook pro want to sync my iphone library to this computer itunes only allows sync from library to iphone there is nothing in library on new machine
i have a pc in office that i use and have been syncing there

This is true and is the way the iphone is intended to be used. It is not a backup device.
You should move your music from the old computer to the new one first then sync. You should have a backup of all of your music/pics/docs/etc. Use this to transfer the music, or the Apple Store will do ti for you, or you can call Apple Support and they will help you.
The iphone will sync to ONE computer at a time. When you sync to another it will erase the media from the iphone and replace with the content from the new computer.

IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to after update

After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
No difference if wire or wifi.
My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
Anybody see similare issues?

YES! Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all. Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi. My mac won't recognize my iphone at all. Doesn't even show up in finder. Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

Error message when Sync from itunes.

I have 2 TVs, both have the latest update, iTunes 8, using AE for WIFI and both streaming. Both units have been working great for over a year now.
One of the unit is now freezing up after about 1hr of use... I get this error message from iTunes when trying to Sync the unit:
"The AppleTV is not responding.
Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
Never got this message before, trying to figure out where could I find the setting for any firewall software.???
I reset my WIFI network (WEP)
I did a soft and hard reset of the TV.
Don't know what to do any more.... Might be the unit going bad but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestion.
Here is my setup:
iTunes 8
AE for WIFI
latest update on TV
Sys Pref> Security>firewall> allow all incoming connections
PowermacG5, 10.5.5
Streaming from the G5
Thanks.

Well, just talked to Applecare and they are sending a replacement unit. Looks like after over one hr of troubleshoot it is an hardware problem.

Extremely slow sync from iTunes to iPhone 5

It's taking HOURS (>10 hours so far) to sync my new iPhone 5 to iTunes 10.7. The process is stalled at "Step 5 of 5 Waiting for items to copy". I am manually managing content on the phone, and I had a small fraction of my total iTunes content on my iPhone 4 that was deactivated yesterday when my new iPhone 5 became active. I've tried a restore on the new iPhone 5, shutdown/restart of the computer (new Mac Mini running 10.8.2), hard reset of the iPhone 5, ejecting and reconnecting the iPhone 5. I'm using the same AppleID as before.
I've got many greyed-out songs on my iPhone 5. It appears that all the songs that were on my iPhone 4 have been or are in the process of being moved to my iPhone 5. The greyed out songs have the double-arrow circular icon next to them on the left side, but the icon isn't moving.
The topline message at Step 5 of 5 has changed - now it reads "Syncing Genius Data to Bob's iPhone". So smething seems to be happening and the process isn't stalled, but it's taking way too long!
I called Apple Support, and they blame iTunes and had me contact them. I'm not very satisfied with this, as it doesn't really explain the very long time the sync has taken.
Ideas on how to fix this and keep it from happening again would be appreciated. Is this a one-time thing or will I be faced with this every time I connect to iTunes?

I had a very similar problem when syncing my iPhone 5 with iTunes 10.7.
Here's what I did to fix it after spending a whole afternoon reading what others have done:
- Perform a soft reset on your iPhone by holding down the home key and the power off button until your phone restarts
- Turn off Airport wifi on your Mac
- Restart your Mac
- Turn Airport wifi back on
Now, try to sync your iPhone. iTunes should immediately see your iPhone and sync very quickly.
It works for me. Just don't ask me why or how it works.
Good luck!

Certain albums in music libary won't sync from iTunes to iPhone 4s

Had an iphone 4 which worked perfectly. Phone decided to go for a swim and passed away.
Majority of apps, settings etc and music libary restored on an old iPhone 3S, but some music albums did not syncronice, majority synced without any problem.
Tried various hints like creating new playlists in itunes and syncing with phone without any success.
Put issue on hold pending arrival on new iPhone 4S.
4S arrived and same issue.
The albums are purchased via iTunes.
Albums exist in iTunes music libary, can be played in iTunes on PC.
Have tried to remove all music from iPhone, and just selecting the albums which are a problem, and as well creating new playlists to be synced, without any success.
When sync is attempted an error message occurs on the phone, stating that there are problems syncing the number of tracks in question, and "check itunes from more information".
There are no information about any sync issues in itunes.
Any ideas?

If these earlier songs were purchased with a different Apple ID, you might try on your phone going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using this earlier ID. Do the same with iTunes on your computer (signing into the iTunes store with this earlier ID). For good measure, restart your computer and your phone, then try syncing the music to see if it will transfer now. If it does, you can to back and reset your Apple IDs the way they were before.

Ringtone will not sync from iTunes to iPhone

I downloaded a free silent ringtone, and dragged it into iTunes "Tones." Then I synced my iPhone with iTunes. I went to change the ringtone of an unwanted caller to silent, but it was not in the list. So then I went back into iTunes, and dragged the silent tone into the "Tones" section under "Devices", "MyiPhone." After syncing, the downloaded ringtone still doesn't show up in the list of ringtones or alert tones on my iPhone.
I've read roughly 20 threads on this message board of people with a similar problem, but I have not found an explanation of what I need to do to get the downloaded ringtone from iTunes to my iPhone. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have an iPhone 4s and the most recent version of iTunes installed on a Windows 7 machine. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your reply JackeeJax. The problem is not actually getting the file to show up in iTunes under "Tones," but rather transferring from iTunes to my iPhone when they sync.
I guess I'll never know why that silent ringtone wouldn't show up in my iPhone ringtones. Since starting this thread I have tested the process with several other normal ringtones, and it works just fine. Maybe the iPhone detected that the ringtone was silent and refused it, idk. It's strange that the ringtone shows up in iTunes under the iPhone's "Tones", but then is nowhere to be found on the iPhone itself. If only Apple allowed users to browse directories, maybe I could figure it out. In any event, it was worth the $1.29 to get a silent ringtone on my iPhone. Gotta screen those telemarketers!

Albums won't sync from iTunes to iPhone

When I try to click on specific albums in my iTunes that I want to download into my iPhone 5, my phone will look like it is syncing and then I will check and none of the changes I made are on my phone! I am using a new computer, but I transferred all of my data from my old laptop to this new one, so I don't think that should be an issue.

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Updated Apps Will Not Sync From iTunes To iPhone

App Updates Will Not Sync From iTunes To iPhone

I am having an issue with App Updates since I upgraded to iOS8.
I prefer to update my Apps through iTunes on my iMac & then \sync them over to my iPhone 5s.
However, I am having issues with this now. After have downloaded the updates with iTunes I sync them to my iPhone and they show that they are being copied over to my iPhone. However, on my iPhone in the App Store, it shows that the apps did not sync and still need updating. So I have to then download them on my iPhone all over again.
I have tried restating the phone. deleting the apps and starting again. Nothing works. any ideas?

Thank you very much, that worked. I learned something as I never tryied to right click on my phone in Itunes before.

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.

Album art not matching up when synced from itunes to ipad2?

Has anyone had this issue. Songs are correct but they matched up with the wrong album art?

I think you're right KeRaMa19.
I also have my iPod set up to be managed manually. I don't want to take up hard drive space on my boot drive with 130GB of music (I back up all my music to an external HD).
I think that, unlike the prior version of iTunes, iTunes 11 doesn't access the iPod's Album Art cache… though with BBEdit (display hidden files, enable everything), I see that there is a database on my iPod under *iPodName* / iPod_Control / Artwork / ArtworkDB
Curiously, the ArtworkDB file is only 1.7MB. However, I have 4 .ithmb files that are 73.6MB, 460.2MB, 13.8MB and 66 KB (and 2 .tmp files that are 1.5MB and 16KB).
The other curious thing is that, when I use iPod Access to copy/rip songs from my iPod to my desktop, the resulting copies of the mp3's DO display the artwork in iTunes when I play them (off my desktop).
As I said, it appears that iTunes 11 no longer accesses the artwork database on the iPod. I hope they fix that, because it's an inconvenient pain in the a§§
