Problems syncing iPhone photos

Hi, I recently bought a new iMac (January 2014). My iPhone 4S was syncing photos with my old iMac fine. But now with the new iMac, my iPhone photos are unable to sync. Anyone experienced similar problems? Any idea on how to resolve?
Thanks!

Sorry the photos taken from my iPhone are going into iPhoto's, but when I want to upload my albums in iPhoto into my iPhone, it is not working. There's no error message or anything, it just cannot be done.

Problem syncing iPhone photos

I took some pictures with my iPhone and moved them to my pc. When I try ti sync them using iTunes some of them will not sync because "they cannot be display on my iPhone". I emailed them back to my iPhone and they display just fine. Same thing with my iPad. Why is that?

Figured it out. Somehow the extension changed from JPEG to JPG. Changing it back sloved the problem.

Problems syncing new photos

Just tried - several times - to sync new photos from PC to iPhone and they are not showing up on my iphone! Help! never had this problem with my iphone 3 but my iphone 4 seems to have all sorts of teething problems. Any advice would be gratefully received.

It's the ios4 that's causing this problem. It's happening on my 3gs too. If you look under wallpapers you will find your photos there.
Hit the home button twice to bring up the multitask bar. Find the photo app, keep your finger on the app for a few seconds until the red - appears. Hit the red - to close the photo app. Hit the home button once more to go back to your home page. Then open the photo app again and your photos should be there.

Problem syncing stacked photos

I have the latest iTunes and Photoshop Elements 4.0. I've created collections in Photoshop and I'm trying to sync the collections to my iPod. iTunes only sync's photos that are NOT stacked. Thus if I have a collection of 50 photos, but 40 of them are part of a stack, only the remaining 10 photos sync to the iPod.
I have thousands of photos in Photoshop, and stacking is an important organzation feature for me. I don't want to unstack them just so that I can sync them to my iPod.
I'd like to use the collections as a way to sync a subset of photos and keep them logically organized on my iPod. (I don't want to sync ALL photos)
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Problems syncing iPad photos and Aperture

I think my iPod Photo database is corrupting for some reason as I keep getting intermittent problems syncing photos from Aperture across to my iPad.
Running Lion 10.7 on a Mac Mini with Aperture 3.1.3 and each time I get the error if I delete the iPod Photo folder it will do a full resync the next time I connect, but with over 5000 photos it takes some time.
Anyone had a similar problem or know why it might be doing it?
Thanks

From your words "syncing with my old iMac" it appears that you are now syncing to a different computer. What might work for directly imported photos (emailed, CCK, screen shots) is to connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on the iPad in the left part of iTunes and select the backup option. When that is complete then you right click and select transfer purchases. Then let iTunes erase the Ipad and replace it with the contents of iTunes on the new computer and then restore from backup
Photos synced to the iPad are not included in the backup and those will be lost unless you can get them from your original computer. However, there may be some third-part computer programs that can get the synced photos off the iPad.
For what are in backups see:

Problems syncing iphone

I'm having problems syncing my new iphone after my initial set-up. I bought my phone a couple of days ago, activated and was able to sync without any problems at first, but now when I try to sync, the program simply times out and gives me an error stating "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"... I've tried to re-sync, but the same problem occurs... Need help....

@RAW2020
Don't connect the iPhone through a monitor or keyboard. Those USB ports typically do not provide enough power to maintain a proper connection with devices like iPhones, scanners, cameras, etc.
@sarahanand
Try re-setting the Sync history in iSync. Open iSync, then go to Preferences > Devices > Rest Sync History. Also, are you sure your PBG4-17 has USB ports? The early model(s) only had USB1.1 ports.

Syncing iPhone photos with Dropbox

Hello All,
I just switched from 6 years of Android to iPhone this week and am in the process of getting everything just as I like it. Two things i'm strugling with are:
Syncing with Dropbox: I had on my android an app called DropSync which synced all my photos and anything I chose to a specific folder in dropbox and vice-versa. Is there a way or an app that does the same thing where I can sync the albums I made on my iphone with dropbox folders over the cellular network automatically. Please advise.
Syncing Google contacts: Any tips on solid apps to sync my google contact to my phonebook without creating duplicates - or maybe an app that detects duplicates and merges them on my iphone address book.
Thank you all in advance!

Here are links to a couple of ways to achieve this:

Or is there a better forum to ask this question?

Problem syncing large photo library

I have a iPad 64GB and cannot sync my iPhoto library of 7000 photos. It syncs then states then when I select the photos on the ipad it hands saying "updating library" then crashes.
The library syncs fine to my iPhone and everything else seems to work - I also have plenty of space left on the iPad. Wierdly I can see and choose all the photos when I goto choose the background images but just cannot access them through the photo app.
Any ideas?

I have one iPhoto library with around 7000 photos, filled in different Albums (around 250) within other folders in iPhoto.
I have tried resetting the iSync history, deleting the iPad iPhoto cache, resetting the iPad etc etc. I have tried to delete any corrupt looking photos and have managed to import the whole iPhoto library to the iPad by selecting to sync it when all the photos are placed in one folder.
I run an art gallery and have different folders for each artist's work. iPhoto is a fantastic tool for this and I have found the iPhone invaluable for showing clients paintings - the iPad should be even better. So it is crucial for me to keep the folders. I have now managed to sync all the folders (and photos) by placing all my artist albums in one folder and selecting that to sync. This works. But what doesn't work is when I select the default, and just sync the entire iPhoto library with Events et al. Then it crashes whilst the Photos App is "Updating Library" after the sync. Then I am left with a malfunctioning iPad which keeps reseting with the Apple logo and spinning wheel inside.
So I have found a work around but it is not exactly perfect - very annoying. Especially as my crappy iPhone 3GS syncs perfectly and can handle all of the folders .....although admittedly not the Events. I wonder if it is the Events that are the problem?

My iphoto wont sync iphone photos

My iphoto used to automatically open and give me the option to sync photos from my iphone but now not only does it not open automatically, but it doesn't even recognize my phone or give me an option to sync. Please help!

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services -problem syncing iphone with itunes

Hi I have windows 7 and itunes 11.1.1. I recently got a new iphone 5s and have tried to sync and the above message came up and itunes becomes non-reponsive. I tried my old iphone 3gs and the same thing happened. I have tried reinstalling itunes, installing a previous itunes version (although this did not work-again got another error message), tried to choose preferences to reset sync history but itunes becomes non-resonsive before I can do this. Have tried the other options in http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690 but still not working...any ideas? Cant work my new iphone :-( Thanks

A quick cursory browse seems to point that the problem is on Apples end since the last update of iTunes, theres loads of forum posts about it but Apple themselves arent responding as yet other then the usual "unplug, delete sync data, reconnect or completely uninstall iTunes" spiel which doesnt work so hopefully they will fix it sooner or later

Problem Syncing iPhone with iMac

Hello,
My iPhone has been working and syncing (with new iMac) just fine - until tonight. I plug in iPhone. It shows up in iTunes. I have Automatic sync checked. But, within less than a minute, I receive this error message:
"iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone [name] because the iPhone disconnected"
I also get same error message when I click "Sync" button in lower right of iTunes window. Obviously, I did not disconnect the phone as the error message alleges.
I have rebooted computer. I have recycled iPhone (top right switch off, then on). I have changed iPhone cord plugged in back of iMac screen. I have ejected iPhone, removed plug and reestablished connection.
I need to sync my contacts from iMac Address Book. Can someone please identify the problem and solution?
Thank you,
Dale
Note: The iPhone was updated several days ago to 1.1.3. Syncs have taken place successfully SINCE the upgrade prior to tonight.

With your iPhone connected and available with iTunes, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences under replace information on this phone, select Contacts and then sync. This will replace all contact information on your iPhone with what is available in the Address Book application.

I have a problem syncing my photos....please help

I have been using my ipad for quite a while without syncing. I hooked up to a new computer yesterday and did a sync. this jhappened q few times whilst i was messing about. I had 1500 photos on my ipad which were transferred across ( i think ) but now my ipad has put everything into mini folders on the albums page and in many of them i have only blank tiles. I have an error message saying ' iTunes Sync Needed, High resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer you sync photos from and launch iTunes to sync them.'
My big problem is that i have looked in my Pictures folder and they are not on my computer.
Where have they gone? I have not deleted them and they are showing on my ipday albeit as blank photos with this error message.
Please help someone. Pictures of my daughters birth and special family holidays all seem to have disappeared. I don't have any other copies.
Please someone advise.
Thanks,
Richard

Photos that you take with the iPad camera do not transfer when you sync. You have to import them to the computer. When you sync with a new computer, that should erase the iPad unless you set it up properly before you sync.
How did the photos that you cannot find get onto the iPad?

Problems syncing iPhone 4S contacts and calendar with Outlook 2007

Hello. I am having difficulties syncing my iPhone 4S Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2007. It used to work perfectly with my iPhone 4, but now I am having difficulties both ways. That is, I add something to my Outlook 2007 Calendar, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in my iPhone. Or, I add a Contact to my iPhone, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in Outlook 2007. I believe I have the iTunes settings correct.

Me too. Think it is since 6.1.3.
Interesting other quirk is that as well as NOT syncing my calendar, it also unticks my calendar from pc on the iphone.
When ii retick it, i get the calendar back, but as it was before the sync, ie, it does not have the bnew events from my pc in it.
This is a 2 way problem.
New events on my iphone wont sync to my pc, and new events on my pc wont sync to my iphone.

Had to reinstall windows 7 - Problems syncing iPhone with new iTunes

Hello everyone!
I've recently had to reinstall windows 7. Now I am having issues syncing my iPhone 4 with my new iTunes. I've look online at several forums and webpages but haven't found a workable solution yet.
My issues are that when I attempt to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes, it tells me that it will erase everything on the phone and replace it with what's in iTunes. Well there's nothing in iTunes so this is a problem.
Now I don't purchase anything through iTunes, except for a few apps, and the only thing I really want out of syncing is to get some class recordings, done by Voice Memos, from my iPhone to my computer. The files are all around ~30 Mb so I can't email them.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks,
Greg

What gets erased is the iTunes/App store purchases on your phone, replaced with the contents of your iTunes library on your computer - in this case nothing. Voice memos sync only from phone to computer - they don't get deleted.
To avoid losing your apps, music/media:
1. Defeat automatic syncing on connection to iTunes: ITunes preferences > Devices > Prevent .... from syncing automatically
2. Connect phone to computer with iTunes open
3. ITunes menu > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
4. iTunes menu > File > Devices > Back UP
Now OK to sync voice memos to iTunes.
