Photo Sync Issue

Hi, I just painstakingly spent all day putting photos from a fantastic weekend in order on my pc but when they've been sync to my ipad they're all out of order. Please can someone let me know if there is a way to fix this, has happened on both my ipad 3 and mini

On iOS 5+ they are sorted by their 'date modified' field, so you will need to manipulate that for them to appear in your desired order.
Or you could use a third-party photo management app such as Photo Manage Pro instead, which allows you to change their sort order within the app itself e.g. by date, name or rating (ascending or descending), or you can drag them into your own order.

Ipad2 photos sync issue ios8.1.1

I have an 64GB iPad2. I normally sync my photos from iTunes on my PC. I have about 27,000 photos. My iPad was experiencing slowness issues since upgrading to iOS8.1. Today I updated to 8.1.1.
Photo sync from my PC is not working correctly.
It creates the required folders, but the content is empty.
I've closed all apps on the iPad, shut it down, rebooted.
I've rebooted the PC.
I've unchecked all the selected folders to sync. It successfully deleted all photos. (grrrrr)
I've tried changing the selected directory in iTunes from which to sync on the PC to one that only has a 1000 or so photos.
It creates the directory on the PC, but it's empty.
I get en error message "The iPad "XXXX's iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
Ideas? If I go to the Genius bar, I won't have my PC.

I assume that you mean that the photo folders sync to the iPad but there is nothing in the folders.

That is how it is supposed to work. But I think that you know that. Surely you didn't expect to sync empty folders and have photos appear on the iPad if they were not in the folders that you synced. Maybe I am missing something and if I am please clarify for me.
I've tried changing the selected directory in iTunes from which to sync on the PC to one that only has a 1000 or so photos.

Once again, I assume that you mean that you created another folder of photos with 1000 or so photos in it. If you created another photos folder, the photos have to reside in that folder or there is nothing to sync. this could be another case where I am misunderstanding ....

Have you tried quitting iTunes, rebooting your PC and then reset the iPad and try again - after you get this message? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

IOS5 photo sync issue

In iOS5, after syncing photos from the computer, there appear two files with the same contents in the device, one is photo library, and the other has the same name as that in my computer. I turned off the function of photo streaming, and tried several times, but still 2 files with the same photos.
How to solve it?

I can't sync photos, music or videos - somebody please help!
All items sync great with iTunes 7.3 including
calendar, music, video, etc. Everything but Photos.
I can't seem to get one single photo synced up with
the iPhone. I've tried resizing pictures down
smaller but that still doesn't work. Anyone else
have the issue?

IOS 5 Photo Syncing Issues

I've been having major problems with syncing photos to my iPhone after installing iOS5 and it performed a factory reset. I have a lot (40k+) of photos and whenever I tried to sync them after the restore it would give me the unhelpful 'the sync failed to finish' or 'waiting for items to copy' error message. For three days and six or so hours I tried every combination of factory resets, backup deletions, reinstalls and restarts I could think of to no avail untill eventually I worked out a (very lengthy) solution. I have no idea why it works but hopefully it will be of use to you, since a lot of people are having a similar problem.
Sync the phone with no photos, music or video (just apps) and back it up
Delete the phtoto cache and all other backups
Split your albums up on windows explorer or iPhoto so that each one has less than 2500 photos in it
Factory restore your iphone, sync nothing but apps, uncheck wi-fi sync and check 'manually manage music and video'. in the summary tab
As soon as the phone restores, go through the setup screens, set it to airplane mode, check a single photo album on the photos tab on itunes and sync
Wait - iTunes will normally hang up on the 'waiting for items to copy' screeen for a few minutes on each album (sometimes as long as half an hour) but it normally will begin to copy the photos VERY SLOWLY
When your first album has finished syncing, disconnect the phone and restart your computer
Repeat 5 and 6 for all other albums
This method has worked for me and so far I have ~20k photos and all my apps on my iPhone - but apple really needs to come up with a bug fix. Does this method work for you? Feedback would be useful.

Wow, that's quite a workaround! Thanks for all that time and effort. I'm personally not really prepared to do all that as of now but it's great to know about.
My problems with photo syncing are similar, but I've never gotten a failed sync message. It just appears that certain albums don't copy over fully, and some not at all -- completely empty.
This really does need to be fixed. Are there others out there who are experiencing this problem?

Unknown error -50 (aperture photo sync issue)

OK.
iPod touch 16Gb connected to MB Pro. Aperture 1.5.x (latest).
The following happened:
1) In aperture I changed my preview for other apps jpeg quality from 6 to 10.
2) Next two times itunes tried to sync images to the touch it crashed (gave the unexpected error - report to apple crashreporter) in the "preparing images for the ipod" stage.
3) After that - it started giving unknown error -36.
So - I did a factory reset. Full reset to 1.1.2.
First sync after that it gave the "Cannot be synced - unknown error -50" at sync of photos.
Now - each time I try to sync it instantly gives the same unknown -50 error.
Now - the cable etc is OK - it all syncs fine if I turn off photo sync.
So - I am guessing that something somewhere in some disk cache or similar is probably screwed - the prepared photos - but - I have no idea where to look on disk.

OK - turns out the cache is in a directory called
iPod photo Cache
ref:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300225
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
and several others.
The trick for people using aperture is that this directory is inside the aperture library file (the .aplibrary file).
Having removed this directory itunes is now regenerating the optimized photos

Itunes photo syncing issues between laptop/ipad

I'm syncing photos on my laptop to my new ipad2 via itunes and randomly in each folder around 10% of the photos always come out corrupted with horizontal lines or even half the picture missing. Have tried reinstalling itunes etc but still get random corruption issues. Have managed to successfully import the photos if I save them to my camera and import via the camera connection kit but don't want to do that for the thousands of photos I have on my laptop. Any ideas?

I have now managed to find the cause of the problem. All down to a conflict issue between itunes and Zonealarm. The solution is to go into program access in Zonealarm and ensure that the iTunes Photo Processor program is set to NO ENFORCEMENT for trust level. An alternative is to temporarily stop Zonealarm, sync and then turn on Zonealarm back on. If you don't do this, a number of the photos (and it appears to be at random) become corrupted. Hope this helps anyone else running Zonealarm.

IPhone Photo Sync Issues

I have an iPhone 4 from 2011 and a MacBook from 2009. It's been a couple months since I've plugged in my phone to update/sync, and it won't allow me to access any photos! It synced my music, apps, etc via iTunes but wouldn't sync my pictures. Since it usually just opens the iPhoto icon when I plug in my phone, I decided to open the app myself. It acknowledges that my iPhone is plugged in but doesn't use my iPhone by it's name and says that there are no pictures on it. I've tried to go in through Preview - File - Import from Apple iPhone but it says there aren't any pictures on there either. I promise I'm not crazy; there are pictures on my phone! Any idea how I could get them to sync onto my computer? Is it a computer issue or a phone issue?

I decided to eject my iPhone & plug it back in one more time... And it worked! Not quite sure what happened originally but I'm glad it seems to be fixed now.

Hello! Photo syncing issue?

Hi!
I have a problem with my laptop and iPhone. See I have no Internet so I can't use any wifi at all to sync photos like I used to. Or I can't upload them to deviantart over the Internet like I used to.
You know the setting where you can select a folder and sync it to your iPhone? Well this worked fine for me at first until my iPhone started to not get one certain picture I had added to the new folder. It would show up on my phone not did iTunes read it or recognize. The file type was PNG so I changed to JPEG however THIS didnt work either.
I also had created a new folder with just that one picture and it still did not sync to my iPhone.
-I have no wifi or Internet
-No android phone just an iPhone so that means I can't simply copy and past the picture into my files.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

No Wi-Fi or other Internet access is required for syncing pictures from the computer to the iDevice.
Plug the device into the computer.
Select the folders desired to sync.
Sync.

Photo syncing issues

I have discovered that I can sync just one photo folder at a time. After syncing one folder, when I try to sync another, it replaces the one previously synced. And when I try to sync multiple folders at once, the sync runs continuously without end, without syncing any of the selected photo folders. I have even gone as far as to delete, then reinstall iTunes from my computer, but that did not solve my problem.
Help in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Simply place all of the folders you want to sync to your Touch into one "master" folder in iPhoto. Then you'll get them all.

HT4906 phone/photo syncing issues

My phone was automatically syncing. As part of step 8, photos from mac transferred to my phone. How do I undo this ridiculousness?

Given no details a guess is that in the iPhoto on the Mac preferences you have checked to auto upload all new imports. If you do not want that ridiculousness then you need to uncheck the option you checked

Photo sync issues with iPhone 3GS

My wife is having two problems with photos on the iPhone.
The first problem she is having is some photos that she wants on the iPhone will not sync because "The iPhone cannot display them". The photos are in JPG format, and she has several other JPGs on the iPhone.
Which leads us to the second problem. When she syncs the iPhone with iTunes she gets duplicate photos on the iPhone. Also, they cannot be deleted as there is no trash icon when she browses them.
Her phone is a 1 day old 16 GB 3GS, using a Win XP machine (iTunes 8.2.1.6)
Any help is appreciated as she is very frustrated by this.
Thanks,
-Seth

Photos transferred from the computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process are selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Photos transferred via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPhone, and are removed from the iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process - the same for music and video. Photos transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted by the iPhone. Photos captured by the iPhone - photos in the iPhone's camera roll can be deleted by the iPhone.
Not sure about the photos that will not transfer problem - I've never had a problem transferring any photos from my Mac, which are all jpeg format.

Photo sync issues

I have a lot of photos that I sync to my ATV1, once synched they use around 70gig on the ATV. Here's the problem, shortly after sync, iTunes shows that the ATv contains some videos, and a lot of other, not specifying the photos.
Next time I sync, it starts from scratch again, taking 10 hours to copy all photos to the ATV again.
This problem has been there for a couple of months, before that it worked fine, with just an update and sync of new photos, not the whole library.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks

Other should generally be quite a small category (a couple of hundred MB in most cases), if it's any larger it may indicate corrupt data and the only way to remove corrupt data is with a lengthy restore, although it sounds as though adding new photos is already a long process anyway.

Photo syncing issue

When I connect my iPhone to my HP Windows XP laptop the computer does not recognize the iPhone as a removable drive (it did for my blackjack before I got this a few days ago), and I cannot seem to figure out a way to import my pictures in from the iPhone to my computer. Does anyone have any feedback on this? Should I just bring it into an apple store or something?

"Is this normal? "
Absolutely
"Does this take up twice the amount of space then it should?"
No

Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos. The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved. I erased my ipod cache and hit sync. Still locked.

Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos. The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos. I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync. It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked. This time at 2,244 of 15,000. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

What's the capacity of your iPad?
iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.
