Photo syncing help.

I have synced my photos to my new iphone but they are saving in 2 folders. One that i synced and a 'photo library'. How do I delete the photo library..?

Possible fix. some progress. Problem seems to be to do with the number of photos to sync or total size. I have deselected all photo folders for sync and then selecting a few folders and applying that to sync. success - photos starting to appear on the ipad in the albums. Then selected a few more folders but failed to transfer any photos this time. I noticed one of the folders had 2000+ photos so I deselected that and synced with the other selected photos (about 1000 photos in total in 10 or so folders). success - transferred the phots to the ipad. So will try to rebuild the whole set on the iPad adding a few photo folders at a time.

IPad 2 photo sync HELP

I just bought an iPad 2 tonight and I'm syncing it for the first time and I chose select some folders from my pictures to sync and only some of my pictures are uploading? It doesnt make any sense. I've tried deleting, retrying, trying to sync all... Nothing works. HELP!

When looking at the photos in the photos app are you looking in all to the categories up top Photos, Albums, Events, they could be hiding.

Can't sync photos please help

Set up folder under My Pictures entitled photos for iphone. Only want to sync those photos. When I plug in my iphone to sync, under photos I can see a button for 'selected folder' but it won't let me select that button. AND it only wants to let me sync photos from photoshop elements, which is irrelevant to my wanting to sync from a folder....
had no problems syncing to my ipod from this same folder. Yes, I read the previous post about photo syncing and I deleted the ipod cache subfolder already. still can't sync....
the manual says you can sync just one folder within your documents on your PC, but I can't figure out how to make it happen. Am on a bit of a deadline, since 'need' these photos before October 13, when I leave for a college reunion.
help!!!!

Okay. I figured out how to sync photos. This time, I tried the radio button both before the sync (no luck) but again after the sync was finished - when ITunes said I could disconnect my iphone...NOW, but only when the sync was finished, was I able to get the toggle to work next to Sync Photos from - to select a particular folder on my computer. Synced the 14 photos that I wanted to sync.
Next question: how do I reorder the photos in the album? They aren't even in the same order as in the folder on my PC.

If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them.

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.

My ipad won't sync photos, need help please

my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help

You could try clearing the photo cache.
You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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!

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 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 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.

Photo sync is not including seemingly random pictures and albums

recently, my brand new iPad and my old, 2007 macbook pro decided not to sync a few selected photos. My iPad now has 19 of my 20 albums, even though in preferences I clicked "all photos," and in one of those 19 only 4 of the 50 pictures show up. I use photoshop on my iPad all the time and really need this to stop happening so if anyone has any ideas please let me know!

You can try this. It works for a lot of users with problems syncing certain photos.
Follow the instructions here to delete the iPod Photo cache and see if that helps.
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Now try syncing.

IOS 5 Photo syncing woes

So after updating to iOS 5, all of my music and videos have sucessfully synced, but not photos.
I have ~20k photos in my Photoshop Elements library, consisting of different file types. Recently, it always wants to sync about 6000 (or any random number) of them at a time, but no more. In fact, sometimes it doesn't bother to sync photos at all, and other times, deletes them from my iPod without my permission. (Excluding Camera Roll) Additionally, iTunes STILL won't sync my PSD files!!!
Please help.

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?

Photo sync error?

I'm getting this error when I sync my iPhone:
Some of your photos, including the photo "DSC00059.JPG", were not copied to the iPhone because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone.
A spotlight search reveals 2 photos with that name on my computer but neither of them is in any of the photo albums I'm syncing to my iPhone. One of them is someone's contact photo but I removed it from her contact card and I still got the error. Turning off photo syncing gets rid of this error, even though it's not supposed to be synced in the first place. There is a checkbox to not warn me about this again but I want to know why it's happening. Any ideas?

Same problem! Everything was fine a couple of days ago and now all of a sudden --- nothing... for both of our Ipods. When I go to th photo tab and try to do anything it shuts the whole program down on me. Is this an Ipod or Itunes problem?
It's driving me nuts... but making me more nuts is that I can't get tech help! What to do?
