Spinning wheel in Photos tab when syncing iPhone or iPad with iTunes

I can't be certain when this started, but when I attempt to sync both my iPad and iPhone photos through iTunes, I'm not presented with any options, just a spinning wheel that never finishes loading. I've looked in multiple discussions with similar problems but none of the solutions seem to help. So far, I've tried:
Different USB cable.
Creating new "dummy" libraries in both Aperture and iPhoto (local disks, not on network disks).
Rebooting
Restarting devices
Permissions repair
Repairing permissions in the Aperture library
Rebulidng the iPhoto database.
Deleting the iPod Photo Cache inside the Aperture library (which doesn't seem to get rebuilt)
Updating the software.I was using 10.9.2 and 11.1.5 iTunes, but upgrading using the Mavericks public beta hoping that would fix it. It did not.
In iTunes, going to File-->Home Sharing-->Choose Photos to share with AppleTV brings up the same spinning wheel.
Deleting all kinds of preferences, com.apple.itunes, etc.
Oddly enough, my wife's user account which has its own iPad and iPhone synced with its own iPhoto library is doing the exact same thing.
I've spent hours on this and have no idea what else to do. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

I think I fixed it thanks to the answers here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10331322?messageID=10331322#10331322?messa geID=10331322
It involves reloading the iLifeMediaBrowser from the Mavericks installer.

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 which I sync to the same iTunes on my home PC. Every time I connect my iPhone to my iTunes, it invariably gets synced with whatever apps, music, movies and books which I synced to my iPad 2.   How do I configure my iTunes in such a way that I sync different sets of apps, movies, music, etc. to both my iPhone and iPad? Thank you.

    You don't use iTunes to import photos in your camera roll. Read here:

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • IPhoto folders not in iTunes when syncing iPhone or iPad

    After de latent updates of Mountain Lion. iTunes and ios6. I can only choose all photo's on my iPhone or iPad and
    the folder selection is grayed out. Also they tricks ( delete music from photoslideshows did not help) .
    Another Thing not working anymore is that video from taken from iPhone or iPad is not 'tagged' anymore als film.
    So creation of smartfolders is again à manual Thing.

  • Sync used new iPad with iTunes w/o setting as new device or restoring

    Hi,
    few weeks after using new iPad that never synced with iTunes (backing up to iCloud), i want to sync iBooks and Aperture photos from iTunes library.
    But, when i connect my iPad to iTunes using usb cable, there are only two choices: Set as new device or restore from older backup. I dont want to sync anything but iBooks and photos. What could i do?

    Hmm, is Whitson's iPad the current name of the device, or an earlier iPad? Does that image you've shown occupy the entire iTunes window or is the usual column of library sources and playlists shown down the left-hand side. If the list is there then the iPad should appear as a device that you can right/option/cmd-click on. Failing that with all your purchases having come from the store you should be able to set up as new device and then reacquire all your store content but that would lose any data and settings. I suppose that after restoring as new, then backing up to the machine, you could then try restoring the backup from the cloud, and then if needed go through the original process as I suggested.
    You might find that if you opt to set up as new nothing actually changes until you choose some content to sync, which may give you the opportunity to use the process I've previously outlined. Sorry I can't be clearer but I know that method has worked for a few people who have had to switch computers after a crash. I'm not personally familiar with the process under your precise circumstances.
    The "cut the cord" feature which allowed you to set up the device without connecting to a computer is all well and good but if you have to go through this sort of effort when the time comes that you want to hook up your device to a library on your computer it becomes a complete nightmare.

  • Can I sync my work iPad with iTunes at home without affecting my work email and contacts?

    Does anyone know if I sync my work iPad with my home iTunes account will my work email etc be effected or deleted??
    thanks

    You may use your own content purchased through the iTunes stores on any device that you own or that is in your control. So, as long as you are not sharing the iPad 2 with other employees, you can sync it with your home computer. It is a bad idea to sync the iPad to both computers, as each will completely erase what the other computer synced before syncing.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 freezes when syncing iphone or ipad

    I am running iTunes 11.2.2 on Mac OS 10.9.3. I experience an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when either my iphone 5s (fully updated) and ipad 4th gen (fully updated) attempts to sync either wirelessly or with the cord. I have went through the apple trouble shooting and came up with no solution. I've also reinstalled iTunes with no luck. I am not able to transfer purchases or backup either device on my mac, including iBooks.
    Any tips, suggestions, etc would be very appreciated!

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with Mac Book Pro

    Is it possible to sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac Book Pro and have the same screens and apps? I see where all apps appear in my iPad syncing window, but I cannot make it exactly like my iPhone... Is this possible? Thank you!

    Hi Kristi,
    Connect your iPad and your iPhone to your MBPro. Launch iTunes. Under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window you can select either device then select Apps from the menu.
    You can drag home screens and rearrange apps right from that window. Very smart idea on your part to do that. That way it's the same (or close to) on both devices.

  • Cannot sync iphone or ipad with Lion

    I upgraded to Lion today and it went fine on my Mac.  I then did a sync with my iPhone and iPad.  Nothing!  I tried a second time.  Again nothing!  I went into the app store to update my apps on the iPad and got this message, "This App is incompatible with this iPad."  What do I do now?

    Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all components as directed in here.?

  • Can't trust this computer for iphone and ipad with Itunes

    hi all
    after updating to ios 7.1.1 on both my iphone 4s and ipad I keep getting this message when I connect my phone or ipad to my iMac
    :iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    then this : Do you want to allow this computer to access information on “davidbarton’s iPad”?
    If you don’t allow access, you will not be able to manage or sync your iPad with this computer.
    I click trust on the device and then continue from within iTunes and I get this : iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    I have started getting this too after running disk utility and verify disk permissions, then running repair disk permissions
    : The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
    *** is going on please and how can i fix it, anyone?
    thanks

    Yes.
    Anything you uncheck in iTunes remains the same with iTunes regardless which device you are syncing.
    I make use of iTunes playlists for the music I want transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have selected playlists, artists, and genres chosen. I select the iTunes playlists and/or artists and genres that I want transferred to my iPhone. I also have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences. This way if I want to remove a song or songs from my iPhone without removing the songs from the playlist I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone, I can uncheck the song or songs in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. Or I can remove a song or songs from the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. To add additional music to my iPhone, I can add the music to one of the playlists in iTunes I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone followed by a sync.
    You can have the same playlist or playlists transferred to both, or different playlists transferred to each, but whatever is deselected in iTunes will be reflected on both with sync only checked songs and video selected for your iPhone and iPad sync preferences.

  • When syncing iPhone the message in iTunes is in a foreign language, even though iTunes is set to English.

    I just got my first iPhone.  I plugged it into my pc (I already have iPod/iTunes) and registered the product.  The screen that came up immediately after registering the product is all in a Asian/character language, even though English is the set language for both the iPhone and iTunes...what is going on?!  It offers me two buttons to click, but given I can't understand either I'm not clicking anything yet.  I have disconnected and reconnected the iPhone several times.

    did you find out the answer??? mine is in German! help
