Photos will not sync or be shared

I have an "old" AppleTV that I upgraded to version 3.0.2 - and its syncing computer is a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and the latest iTunes and iPhoto.
However, when I set to synch photos and hit apply in iTunes, they appear to transfer to AppleTV. When I click on the AppleTV in devices in iTunes, it shows 806.1MB of photos on the AppleTV.
When I go to the AppleTV and look under photos it says there are no photos on my AppleTV.
I also tried sharing photos from other computers and that doesn't work.
Sharing movies and TV shows are not a problem. Only photos.
The only way to see photos are via MobileMe.

Where exactly are you looking for photos, are you looking under my photos or shared photos.
What is the source of your photos and what format are they in, which software do you use to manage your photos.

Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

any body?

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer

Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
Have a great day,
Joe

Photos will not sync to iPhoto

Photos that I take with my iPhone appear fine on the phone, but will not sync (unreadable file) or are corrupt (blackout or whiteout stripes or funky neon colors). I read another post that asked about other items plugged into the USB port, but all I have is a wireless Apple mouse that uses a DLINK bluetooth adapter in the USB port next to the one my iPhone is using. This is the second consecutive set of photos I cannot download, so it is not the photos themselves, but something else.

Ziggy,
Just so you know, iPhone's email shrinks the images to 640 x 480 for sending. The only way to get a full quality image off your camera is by syncing so you need to get that problem resolved. Do you have your iPhone connected by a USB hub or are there any other USB devices connected to your computer? It's been reported that these can garble photos. Make sure your iPhone is plugged directly to the computer USB port and nothing else is connected. Also sometimes scanner software can be trying to access a USB port even when not plugged in.

After updating iphone 3gs to ios 5 music and photos will not sync

Photos will not sync on iTunes 11

Plugging in the latest iPad with the latest iTunes, select the folder of new photos I want on my iPad and hey presto, nothing.
ITunes does freeze quit a bit and says that it has performed the sync, but nothing on the iPad. ITunes 10 did this with no problems, since the update to 11 I can't sync photos using a 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
The other annoying thing is that it gets into iTunes screen and there is no icon to get into the iPad. The userbility of iTunes 11 is awfull and not Mac typical at all. What moron allowed this rubbish to be released? iTunes 11 is as buggy as **** with userbility issues.

You may find the following steps make iTunes 11 more bearable
1) Ctrl + B to turn on the top menu
2) View > Show Sidebar to turn on left panel showing Library, Devices, Playlists etc
3) View > Show Status Bar to see song info at the bottom in grey bar
4) Click on arrow in Search Box and untick Search Entire Library - this will increase performance and revert Search to the way it worked in iTunes 10
Photos do not sync to PC via itunes instead your Photo Application, Elements or whatever should fire up and import them. Do you need to check your import seetings in whatever app you use?

Photos will not sync to iphone5

Just got my new iphone5 today. When I first sync'd it my photos transfered fine but now no matter what I do it will not sync photos, it always comes up with the error 'not enough memory'. Everything else syncs fine to my phone, even a 2GB game. I even tried deleteing everything and resetting my phone and even when it was completely blank and reset it would not sync photos.

Did you get an answer to this question? The post reads that it's "answered", but there are no responses to your question that I could see. I would love to know what the answer to this question is. Hope you can help.

When syncing iphone 5 to macbook pro, photos will not sync

when i connect my phone to my computer I get a pop up saying my camera cannot be found. what can i do to fix this? none if my photos are backed up on my comupter.
Also, when i plug in headphones to my phone, i can only hear music in one ear bud. i have tried multiple different headphone/earbud sets and brands, still get the same malfunction.

Also, I've tried syncing with iTunes Wi-Fi Sync but the latest music I have put on the MacBook Air will not transfer across. I can't figure it out. I hope someone can assist.

IPhone 4 on 4.3.3 photos will not sync?

I've never had a problem syncing my photos until just recently. I don't know if the problem is due to 4.3.3 or not. ITunes is not recognizing the folders I've selected to sync at all (I can tell because it is not allocating any disk space to my photos at the bottom of the screen when I've got my iPhone device selected). I've tried the following:
- unselecting the music sync and trying to sync without it
- resetting my settings on my iPhone and syncing after it
- hard reboot of my iPhone and syncing after it
- simply powering the iPhone off and on after the auto-sync and even manually syncing again
- copying all of the files I want from my main My Pictures folder to a new iPhone Photo Sync folder and trying to just sync all folders in that new folder or selected folders with all of my individual folders checked
- resetting my sync history in iTunes and manually running the sync again
- deleting the iPhone photo cache both in my main My Pictures folder and new iPhone Photo Sync folder and trying to sync to each folder again
- reset warnings by right clicking on my iPhone device in the left-hand iTunes menu and manually syncing again
Please help! I'm consisting getting a warning message of: "Some of your photos, including the photo "XXX", were not copied to the iPhone "XXX" because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." I don't understand why the photos that were previously on my phone just last week will not even copy over now. I had over 2000 photos on my iPhone and now it will only copy 3 over! I can't even select 4.3.3 as my operating system when logging this in the forum. Can I revert my phone back to 4.3.2??

I just noticed that the pictures I have taken on my iPhone 6 plus, which were synched to my iMac, then synched from iPhoto are not showing up. Very strange. I just went to look for my newest photos and they are no where to be found on the phone.
Is this some kind of bug? I do recall that I have Wi-Fi synch enable in iTunes. I am going to try and disable it and re-synch to see if they show up.
I have all my photos in iPhoto on my iMac. I also have all of them stored on my iPhone 6 plus.

HT4236 My photos will not sync to my ipad.

I was going to update some pictures that I wanted to have on my ipad from my computer. I have a seperate file folder that I use to put those pictures in. They have always snyc just fine. Now this morning it will not ..
Updates are current.

Ok so I had attitude - This being new to iPad/iCloud etc is very frustrating and I hate not knowing. The problem with ignorance is that you don't know what you don't know, so providing info can be a challenge. Being made to feel dumb doesn't help. I'm an older lady who doesn't understand the ins and outs of all this technology.
I have a brand new iPad, and a Macbook Pro which is rather elderly, with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 operating system. (I have bought Snow Leopard but haven't installed it on laptop after loads of issues with the installation on my iMac)
I gather that to sync all of my iTunes/iPhoto etc., I would need to have the most recent operating system available. (I have no idea what that is) My iPhone & Ipad are ok with my address book, mail, etc., but not the iTunes/iPhoto. As I need the iPad as a portable gallery of my paintings it's quite important to me that I get iPhoto. I discovered that I could email images to myself then save them onto the iPad, but clearly that's not a practical solution. I gather also that photos I take with my iPad and iPhone sync automatically, but it's other images I want on there. When I connect the iPad to my laptop, I can't just drag the files into it (like an iPod) so what to do?

ICloud Photos will not sync with iPhone4s

So, I just left the Genius bar where we needed to a due a full reset of my iPhone4s.
Before the hard reset of my phone, I had 318 photos on my iPhone photostream and 319 in camera and all were backed up to iCloud. Due to numerous reasons, Apple does not want me to restore my phone settings from the back-up version saved on my computer, so I must recreate the best I can.
The biggest issue I am having is, we checked to make sure I back up to icloud before we did a full reset of the phone. After the reset and at the Genius bar, we checked to make sure the photos were starting to download. However, only 39 photos downloaded. And now I can't get the remaining photos to sync from iCloud.
I think what happened is the phone was plugged in to the airbook for the reset, we saw photos downloading (and thought, phew that worked) unplugged the phone to complete the rest of the phone set up. And some how they stopped downloading mid stream.
If you go to iCloud back-up option it's scary...states it will DELETE all photos from iCloud and back-up with what is on your phone. In my case, I need what's in iCloud to my phone.
If no-one has a suggestion, I am going to restore my phone to my 'bad' back-up, make sure they are saved on a hard drive, and then go back to the genius bar for a full reset.
PS: Why can't I see my photos in iCloud???

Again, thank you for the replies. Here is the update to my situation.
After your suggestions, I did a complete restore to my iPhone4s from the backup version saved on my computer harddrive. It only yielded 295 photos.   I was able to download the photos from the back-up to my computer hardrive, so I know they are safe!! Then I called Apple and asked how do I get the 39 photos hijacked in iCloud to stream to my phone. And I was told if I was very patient, they would download to my phone overnight. And in the morning all of the photos would be there. Patience, not my strong point, but for the sake of my photos I was!
Any bets to if they are on the phone or not????
Well they are not, so I quickly learned, that another issue unbeknownst to me, is iCloud has not been working...whether this is a software, carrier or other issue, who knows. Its not working. And the 295 photos in my phone right now will not stream to iCloud!   The only photos being sent to iCloud are those from the last hard reset made in July (39 photos).
So I called Apple again, they are most, most, most confident the 37 (I deleted two yesterday) will download to my phone after I reset and establish my iPhone as new. I told the only way to delete photos from iCloud is do press the setting in the iCloud app online.
It really stinks that the 295 on my phone will not stream to iCloud. I guess in the grand scheme it appears I'll have all of my photos, but they will never be joined together in iCloud or on my iPhone.
I'll do a reset tonight and see if I can't the 37 iCloud photos to stream.
Please learn from my lesson. iCloud / photostream doesn't always work. Complete frequent hard back-ups of your phone so this too doesn't happen to you.
BTW - The Apple Genius/Supervior I spoke to gave me her contact information (email and voicemail) to contact her directly if I have any other issues. Wow, that's amazing!
