Problems with Vista syncing photos

One of the main reasons I got my 80GB Ipod was so that I could always have all my pics with me of family.
It all worked until Vista...Optimizing Photos for Ipod before it syncs takes 10-20 seconds a photot. With XP, it takes less than a second a photo.
I have over 4000 pics I want on it. You do the math.
Now, some infor...
I have my photos stored in c:\Computer_name\users\public\pictures so that they are accessibly easily over my home network without having to assign new Windows permissions all the time. Is my location the issue?
The computer itself is a compaq/hp with a Pentium D 3 Mhz with 3 GB of RAM.
I forsee a photo sync taking all weekend...
Any ideas at all to speed this up?

yup - and everything is fine. I just uninstalled all apple software from the machine, reinstalled iTunes and it started syncing. HOWEVER, when I customized what was being synced (I only wanted music and a photo folder), it choked again.
thoughts?

  • Problem with some synced photos to my iphone rotating incorrectly

    I recently synced a folder of photos in My Pictures to my iPhone 4 via iTunes.  68 picture...21 were taken in a portrait rotation, the rest were landscape.  I had no tropuble with the landscape photos.  But, after the sync, 5 of the 21 portrait photos had the wrong rotation.  From my basic troubleshoot...they are not all rotated incorrectly in the same direction and I confirmed that they all have a similar resolution as at least one of the correctly oriented portrait photos from the same sync.  Editing and saving the picture directly on the iPhone is not an option because I am only given the option to save an edited photo to the Camera Roll album.  It is extremely frustrating.  Why does this process ignore the native orientation of only some of the synced photos?  I'd be less confused if it mess up all of the portrait photos.  I would very much appreciate any advice to fix this seemingly arbitrary malfunction.  Thank you.

    I'm having a problem where when I import my iPhone photos into Picasa, photos are rotated incorrectly (even when viewed in Finder). Landscape photos are upside down, portrait photos aren't rotated to portrait orientation. I suspect this has someting to do with the iPhone saving photos without rotating them based on iPhone orientation and instead adding EXIF data to indicate the orientation based on something I read online, but I don't really know. When viewing info for a portrait photo in Preview, it indicates Y resolution is less than X resolution (which is what it should be for landscape photos only), and on the TIFF tab says Orientation 1 (Normal).
    So my question is, why is it not being rotated properly in the iPhone for use on other devices? How can I fix this?
    It should be noted that important photos with iPhoto or Image Capture makes it display properly in Preview and Finder with updated Orientation information, but still not in Firefox (so... good for some software on your Mac but even still not if you intend to send the picture to anyone... MAJOR BUG ).
    BTW using iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS 5.1.1, Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
    PS VIdeo orientation is perfect.

  • Problem with corrupted iPhone photo albums

    I have a problem with my iPhone "Photos" app.
    When I open it is see hundreds of "ghost" albums in the Albums tab.
    I have tried to turn off syncing photos in iTunes and then turn it back on again, and so deleting all albums and photos and then re-applying- but no luck.  I also tried to sync with an empty folder on my Mac instead of the iPhoto library, but this still does not delete the albums.
    Anyone know how to nuke the photos on an iPhone and start from scratch WITHOUT having to restore the iPhone to its factory state?

    Here is what I see when I go to delete some of the rogue albums:
    I could keep doing this but there are probably 300-400 of them!!!!!

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

  • Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

    Hi,
    I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
    My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
    Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

    It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
    Try:
    1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
    2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
    Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

  • Problems with mobileme syncing ...

    Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data.  Despite me overriding it.  I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want.  Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received.  Its doing my head in!  Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

    Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud!  Any advice greatly appreciated!

    Hi Christoph,
    I am running into the exact same issue. Upon further investigation I've discovered that this is a known bug, CSCtd09117.  You can read more about it here: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtd09117 .   Apparently this is fixed in ver 12.2(32.8.11)SX323 .
    I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet, so I can't verify the fix, but if it works for you please let me know.
    Regards,
    Brandon

  • HT4236 Problem when I sync photos to my iPhone from my pc..

    Hello.
    I have a problem when I sync photos from my pc to my iPhone. I do exactly like it says here ("To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device"), but when I sync, my photos appear two times in two different folders in my Device..
    When I did it two years ago (I think) it was ok. But since then, every time my photos appear two times and I can't understand why..
    Please help

    Photos synced to your phone are not duplicated. iPhone organizes synced photos the same way iPhoto on a Mac does. All photos synced to your phone are stored in your Photos Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos, which are stored in your Photos Library, they are not duplicates, & no , you can't delete the Photo Library.
    Its always been like this.

  • T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

    Hi!
    I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
    I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

    Try the following test:
    - Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
    - Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
    Is the test OK?

  • Photo sync problems with Vista

    I have two iPods which I manage on two different computers.
    I manage my 2nd Gen Nano on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP Home, and manage my 5th Gen Video 30 GB iPod on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The same photos are on both computers.
    The problems is that When I attempt to sync photos to the video ipod on the Vista system, I get an error "some photos weren't copied to Therese's iPod because they cannot be displayed on the iPod". I've deleted the iPod photo cache folder and tried the sync again, but still get the error.
    Since both computers are networked, I thought I would try and sync the photos from the laptop over the network as opposed to the ones on the desktop. In iTunes on the desktop system, I selected the photos from the laptop and they sync'd to the the video iPod.
    What I am trying to figue out is, Why the photo's from the laptop over the network would sync and not the photo's from the local Vista machine.
    Any ideas of what the problem may be?
    Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP) / Dell Dimension E521 (Windows Vista)     iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4 GB (Pink) / iPod Video 5th Gen 30 GB (Black)

    It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
    Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
    Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)

  • New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

    Hi
    I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
    On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
    I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
    With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
    Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
    If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

  • Sync problem with Vista

    Got the 8gb 3g a few weeks ago from T Mobile and got it unlocked officially to transfer to Vodafone contract. Sync set up on Vista installed and ran perfectly for a few weeks but suddenly developed many problems about ten days ago.
    On connection Pop up: "Sync server has stopped working. A problem caused etc"
    followed by -
    "iTtunes cannot sync information with the iphone because syncing has been disabled"
    followed by -
    "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Server. Reconnect or try again later."
    It then says its syncing but doesn't.
    On the info tab on iTunes the boxes for the Calendar, Contacts and Notes have now become unticked. I try to tick the boxes for all three but Calendar cannot be ticked and whilst Contacts and Notes can be ticked they immediately become unticked.
    Another problem has developed over the last few days, probably unrelated, in that the screen suddenly goes white and then coloured horizontal lines flash on the screen and then it dies. Leaving it for a few minutes and restarting seems to clear it but I am now concerned that I am going to lose all the data which has not been backed up. Can anyone help me please?

    Windows + iPhone seem not to completely work friendly with each other with contact, agenda and notes. I have been some problems with that too, i just ignore the fact that i can sync those things with my Windows because it's the only thing i don't understand and i got problems with.
    Apple does NOT allow certificates on unlocked iPhones. Means you cannot receive push notifications nor you are allowed to have contact with the Apple iPhone servers. It's just the fact that you unlocked your iPhone, that's all.
    Going back to AT&T, T-mobile or any other legal distributer of an iPhone and the problem will be solved..
