Photo sync limit

Is there a photo sync limit? It repeatedly says that there is not enough room, but I know for a fact that there is? I tried to sync multiple times with the same results. Last time I tried, I synced nothing but the pics. The same result happened. I have the 32GB 2nd gen. ipod touch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you find a solution to this? I have a folder of about 3.6Gb containing 2754 photos and have never had issues in the past synching. When I tried to synch last night, I got a message that "27 items could not be synched. See iTunes for more information." I looked all over itunes but could not find any error message. There was one specific picture I was looking for to upload which has not shown up and no matter how many syncs I tried it never did. To try to resolve this, I picked a new folder with only 6 pictures in it and re-synced. As expected, it eliminated my library of 2700+ pictures in favour of the 6 I have now told it to sync. I cleared the 'ipod photo cache folder' and then re-set itunes to sync this folder. It synced the folder again, however this time synced 1600 pictures and now I have a message '1154 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information.' Again, iTunes has no more information.
I have an iPhone 3GS but this is the first time I've had sync problems.

Really need help here!-Why won't all selected Photos sync to my iPod Touch?

This is really a concern to me: I can only get about 9 months of my iPhotos to sync onto my iPod Touch - but with OS 2.x I could get all the photos-- used essentially all my free space.
I just upgraded my first generation iPod Touch (Dec 2007) to 3.1.2 - OK WiFi and apps updates working fine- but as to syncing photos: I have 15,688 photos & videos from my cameras in my iPhoto library.
I don't expect to have all the photos synced, but when I check last 12 months, only about 9 months is synced - 5899 photos and there is 4.9 gb of free space on my iPod Touch. With OS 2.x I could get more photos and it would go down to just a few mb of free space if I wished.
What is going on here? Why so much free space and yet no more photos syncing? I tried to click ALL EVENTS and that simply erased all my 5899 photos and there were NO PHOTOS. So now I went back and requested last 12 months of events (about 138 separate events from end 2008 until present) - and again, exactly 5899 photos yet still some 33% of my iPod capacity is UNused?
This is really a concern to me-- if a corrupted photo or event, then why did it work just last week when I was in iPod Touch OS 2.x?
Thanks for any suggestions here. I'm trying manual syncs and other stuff - so far no luck.

First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).
BUT BUT-- problem not solved... Although I trashed that file and then re-synced my iPod Touch, it is still only going back to July 2009 with the events - not 12 months as I request; and none of the events that I checked prior to the previous 12 months are not on my iPod Touch, first generation running system 3.1.3 (7E18). I STILL HAVE 3.0 gb of available space on my iPod. Again, I never had this problem when 2.x was the OS for my iPod Touch.
The number of events seems to be exactly 51 - is that perhaps a limit? I don't think it would be but when I look inside the iPod Photo cache folder, there are 51 folders (plus 2 other items) and the folders are numbered from F00 to F50.
I would like to get to the bottom of this - not sure if I should start a new post or ??? Thanks again and any ideas or tests to run really appreciated!

Does Photos app limit download of photos with CCK to 16Gb on all iPads?

Hello y'all,
New member here. Long time MacBookPro user and now about to get an iPad2 3G for traveling. I'm a photographer, shooting RAW, and in the next year and a half I'll make a few trips (on a shoestring) without carrying the Macbook, only taking the iPad with me. At a certain point I'll spend two or three months in areas where internet acces lacks completely or is bad (so no cloud storage). Of course I am considering the Hyperdrive, and / or a lot of extra SD cards for back-up storage.
At this moment I'm trying to decide between a 32 and a 64Gb iPad, and for this I have a question I couldn't get answered yet. So I hope you really knowleageble folks here can help me out!
When reading on the net, I found a couple of remarks stating that the Photos app limits the storage of picture download through the CCK to 16Gb on any iPad including the 64Gb one. Now, if that is true, it won't make sense for me to get the 64Gb and the 32Gb will have to do. But if it's not true, and I can store more than 16Gb of RAWs using the CCK, then it makes a lot of sense for me to get the 64Gb.
FYI: I'll use the iPad for e-mail, surfing and photo storage. No videos, little music, very few apps, no serious PP, etc.
And yes, I'm aware all the pics uploaded through the CCK will come in one single folder, so it will be very impractical to upload a lot and then cull. But I do have the discipline to cull very heavily and on a daily basis, which leads me to believe one big folder for a LOT of pics could be workable for me still.
So, my question to you all here is: does anybody know if the Photos app puts a limit of 16Gb to the storage of RAWs uploaded with the CCK, even in a 64Gb iPad?
Or will the iPad just not be able to deal with a folder containing say 40Gb of RAWs? A matter of RAM maybe?
THANKS a lot for answering!
Best regards,
Jeanette

The 16 gig limitation was reported last year when the iPad 1 was first introduced. I have not seen a report of this being resolved yet and followup requests on this forum were not confirming a fix.
You may be able to work around the limitation to a degree by using a 3rd party app like SortShots or some other app to manage your photo syncing and reserving the CCK-available 16 gig for uploading raw photo files from your camera. I have NOT tested this workaround so it's only a theory until proven.
For folders, I thought the CCK divided the uploads by date, but I haven't used the CCK for 6 months, so I may be wrong. Others will correct me if I am mistaken on this. (or anything else)
As far as 32 or 64gig, since this is an option, you may want to go big since memory can not be added later.
One more note, I think the cck's USB adaptor will allow you to use a flash drive for photo file storage that can be read by the iPad if the flash drive is configured with a DCIM folder. Not sure what the limitations are using this option. (feedback from others?) I don't think the iPad can write to the DCIM folder, but read-only.
Hope this helps some....

I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone. The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC. What's the problem?

I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone. The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC. What's the problem? I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone. I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad. How do I see Photostream on my PC?

You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method. My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option). I cannot. Please see the screenshot I took:
Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos. So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message. Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.
This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Photos sync OK, but when edited in iPhoto,the original photos still appear.

Photos sync fine to iPhone. However, if I edit (crop) one of these photos in iPhoto, the unedited version still appears on the phone after resyncing. I have tried unchecking the box next to the photo album, then syncing and pulling it completely off the phone. Then I recheck the box and sync the photos back to the phone. The old, unedited versions of the photos still appear on the phone. What to do?? Thanks for your help!!

I am exporting as a JPG. I think I figured out the problem. In the old iPhoto I could export from the Edit menu. On this new version, I have click on the Photos button and go back to the screen that shows the whole event and export from there.
It's a pain and much less efficient but it seems to be working.

Photo Sync problem - Cannot read or write to disk?

Initial sync of my iPad. Photos seemed to download from iPhoto. Space indicated that entire photo library had been copied to iPad. when I go to look for the pictures on the iPad, the screen message is that no photos exist. Back on the iMac, a notice said that the: "The iPad XXX iPad cannot be synced. The disk cannot be read to or written from."
Th sync of my music library had no such problems. What am I doing wrong....all is fine except the photos sync.
Thanks!

This issue is discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1207
A common resolution is that one or more of the images being synced is corrupt / unreadable.
Remove the cached photos so that a fresh copy can be made: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Apple TV 1st Gen + iTunes 10 + Photo Sync (with Aperture 3) = No Sync

I recently started to experience the same issues that others have reported regarding not being able to sync their Apple TV classic (1st generation) with iTunes 10.
I grudgingly disconnected my Apple TV from iTunes which wiped out all the content. Then when I started a new sync, the Apple TV (and my iMac) froze when trying to connect.
So, I disconnected them again, and quickly set the sync preferences to a "Custom" sync. After an hour of playing around with the settings, and turning on (one by one) syncing of video content, music and podcasts, I've narrowed it down ... to Photo syncing with Aperture.
All of the other content that iTunes will let me select, syncs fine. I've re-synced my entire music library, but if I even setup iTunes to sync 1 photo from Aperture to my Apple TV ... freeze-o-matic.
Anyone else run into this issue and/or been able to find a workaround to fix it?

Finally found answer, many thanks to:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

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.

Photos sync from computer folders, but are in the wrong albums and some photos only appear as a white box?

On my iPad 2, I'm syncing my photos through iTunes from folders on my computer, as I am a photographer and don't like to use iPhoto and not have direct access to my original files.
My photos sync without any hassle, but when viewing them on the iPad half the photos present as white boxes or a half photo/half white screen. I tried resetting iPad as a last measure, I've deleted the photo cache etc, to no avail. In fact, the most recent time I tried it didn't fix the white screen, but also added another issue- my photos now are completely mixed up within the albums. Christmas photos and showing in the Easter album and so on, there seems to be no logic in it! As I was given my iPad last month by my father in laws company, they had bought their stock a while ago and it's now out of AppleCare support - even though I've only used it for a month! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
My Mac is a 1 yr old MacBook pro running snow leopard. My iTunes was the second oldest version, have just updated to most recent version, but it hasn't fixed anything.

Updating to the latest Iphoto release solved this. First time it rebuilt the libraries the pics appeared again.

Photo sync leaving gallery on phone in a mess

Hi, I am trying to move some pictures to my Nokia 5230. I have downloaded and clean installed the latest Ovi-suite. I have connected the phone and chosen pc-suite data transfer mode. I then synced the photos between the PC and the phone. In Ovi-suite/Photos/Phone it showed 11 pictures: a couple of portraits of my wife, the two images currently used on my contacts, two blank images, a blurred image and one image of my PC.So I added a folder with the three additional images that I synced the photos with my phone. I then selected sync photos, it ran, and it said 'Photo sync done!'. However, in ovi-suite 'Photos in Nokia 5230' it still shows only the original 8 pictures. Going to Gallery/ Images & videos on my phone it only shows me four icons (a person a grey gredation, a globe and a globe with a bit of filmstrip. These look like the contents of a system folder. However, when I tried taking a picture it then updated the gallery display to show the same four icons, five music tracks (as a key symbol), the pictures the picture of my PC, and the picture I have just taken. The pictures of my wife, the ones used for my contacts, and the ones from the added folder are nowhere to be seen. I am worried that Ovi-suite may be corrupting the data on my phone. Can anyone help me sort out what is going on here? Thanks

Connect device.
Select the Apps tab.
Untick the "sync apps" option and sync the device.
Then tick the "sync apps" option and sync the device.
This should rectify the issue and put all the apps back on the device. No game or app specific settings will be lost.

ITunes Crash on photo sync tab

My mother in laws Itunes crashes when you try to adjust the photo sync preferences.
I just downloaded 2.0 for the phone. rebooted several times, same crash every time

Anyone? What are the specs of the images? Maybe I can just copy them to the hidden folder.

Itunes update has no photo sync button

Where is the photo sync button with the new itunes update? So how do I sync my photos cuz can't find anywhere the word photos.

I think you forgot to plug in your iDevice. Do this now. This is what I see after I plug in my iphone. I click once on "iphone".
This is what I see when I click on iphone. Notice books and photos are not showing up. They are missing regardless if it is full screen or in a window. Notice there are no scroll bars.
Now after I drag the window to the far left,moving quite a bit of the window off the screen, and expanding the window on the right, I can now see books and photos.
Hope that helps.
