Syching Photos

I just got my iTouch. I tried adding some photos to the device but I get the error message "The iPod can not be synched. The disk could not be read from or written to" HELP! What am I doing wrong? I have been adding music and videos without issues. I have 9.59 GB of free space

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Syching Photos from Itunes to Ipod Photo 30G

I am having the worst time syching my photos from my PC computer to my ipod photo. I am using my family computer because my laptop is kaput.
I am starting over...from scratch. Deleted everything on my ipod and hoping to synch it all back on there from point blank.
I have succesfully synched my music. --playlists still in progress but that is my problem!
I am having trouble synching my photos back onto my ipod. It shows no progress just says "Syncing iPod. Do not Disconnect." And it kills be because I started out with about 15,000 pics to sync...I've taken it down to only 15 and it is still not doing what I want it too.
Maybe I should be more paitent but I don't remember it ever being this slow or without any progression showing on the screen.
What can I do, what am I doing wrong? What should I do?!
Help! Please!

In case you still didn't get this to work, I found that iTunes didn't have permissions writing to the iPod photo cache directory on my Vista machine by default.
If you suspect that's happening for you, go ahead and try this:
1) Find the directory on your computer where the "iPod Photo Cache" is stored.
2) On that directory, grant "Read" and "Write" access to the "Users" group.
After that, try synching your photos, and hopefully you'll start to see some success...

Subfolders when syching photos?

i have over 4000 pics on my pc from my travels and from everyday life, i have them all categorized into folder (ex:2004,2005,2006) and in those folders i have categorized folders (ex april,march, trip to boston,trip to australia etc) when itunes synchs my pics, it doesint keep the folders so when i look at my 2006 folder on my ipod, i have to go through around 1000 pics and its kinda hard to find the pic i want, so my question is :is there anyway to make it so itunes keeps all the folders when synching???manualy or automaticly... my ipod is an 80g ipod video...

Hello
I have the same problem as mentioned, but I feel that this is something that Apple could release in a simple update/patch?
Basically, we are not asking ITunes to differentiate between different types of folders. All we need, is that it recognises sub folders. Without this, the Photo's function of the IPod is... well, to put it simply... useless.
I have a folder called Gap Year 2006, which contains sub folders with all the different countries I visited on my gap year, which then each contain sub folders of the various places I visited in those countries. There are hundreds of pictures all together, and without the IPod or ITunes being able to recognise sub folders, it's just one big mess.
Please, I ask simply on behalf of everyone with the same problem for Apple to spend some time on resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Nicholas

Syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

Did you restore from backup on iTunes or did you use iCloud?
Did you sync with iTunes? Is iTunes section for photos checked to sync all your photo locations?
Also, with photo streaming sometimes you need to switch from Album to photo stream to see some photos.
If your photos are on your computer still, they can be added back. if not and you depended solely on iCloud, then they may be gone.

Where is the box APPLY when I have syched my photos on iPad?

I Attached my iPad to computer this morning to take off some photos as I was running out of space, so clicked on some albums but there is no APPLY button to finish off........where is it?

My new iPad2 synched OK on initial setup but I didn't really want all the photos in iPhoto transferred so on later synch I tried limiting the sych to certain albums only to find that only a fraction of the albums now on the iPad. I tried synching again.

My new iPad2 set up OK with all the photos in my iPhoto transferring . On a later synch I tried limiting the transfer to only certain albums. After that I find only a fraction of the desired albums transferred. I tried synching again without any restrictions but get the same limited number of photos and albums. I think I've seen the solution to this fault somewhere - something to do with deleting the iPhoto cache but can't find it.

Update: I was unsuccessful on my attempt to delete the iPhoto Cache folder because I didn't follow the directions exactly. There seems to be more than one folder with an identical name. Finally succeeded in getting all my photos back on the iPad2.
If one desires to change the selection of photos snc'd, however, it apears that you must change the selecion from the iTunes screen while the iPad is plugged in and the select "Apply". Unfortunate, the sync starts immediately when you plug the iPad in and it doesn't seem to smart to stop the sync. It appears you have to make a change in iTunes while syncing. Let it complete. Detach the iPad. Go back and delete the iPhoto cache ad directed. Then the next time you sync presumably the new sync restrictions will apply. I didn't want to risk stopping the sync that started automatically to change the sync options and then direct it to sync again but that might work. Too bad we don't have more control over the starting of syn when the iPad is attached. Maybe we actually do but I haven't noticed it.

IOS devices don't put shared photos from Camera Roll onto My Photostream

I have photostream setup and working pretty well. I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads syching all their photos between them and sharing with others. My phortos are also being automatically saved on my mac mini using My Photostream.
The problem is when I want to add photos someone esle has shared on a photo stream into My Photostream. I save the photo I want into the Camera Roll of the device. This bit works fine but for somereason the photo isn't then put into My Photostream. It's very strange because if I put images into my Camera Roll through other methods (such as from an email or a screen capture and of course by taking a photo) the image gets into My Photostream. It's just images I imput from shared photostream that don't.
This is really frustrating because I want to easily have other people's photos that I want in my personal colleciton included in the backup on the mac mini. It's particularly nice how all my photos appear grouped by month in Events in iPhoto.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice on how to fix it? It's occuring with all my iOS devices so it looks like it might be a bug.

I'd rather not. Besides the hassle of the extra synch process, they'll come in as separate import events mixed in wih all my other photos and not be in the month by month photostream archive I mentioned.

New computer and setting up itunes and sych iphone new to new computer

hi guys,
Just formatted my hard drive i did backup the iTunes folder inthe c:\users\name\my music\c folder e.g. apps music etc and i did also backup the apple computer folder in the c:\users\name\ app data\roaming\applecomputer folder(which has the iPhone and iPad backups in it),
I have just formatted my hard drive how do i restore iTunes? do you just authorise the computer and then click and drag the music folder into iTunes so all the apps and music go into iTunes and then do you copy and paste the apple computer folder (from the app data folder) to the new computers app data folder? then just plug in the iPhone and sych?
http://blog.deversus.com/2011/02/how-to-sync-iphone-with-new-computer-windows-to -mac/
i did some reading and couldn't find much on how to restore iTunes from a backup there is heaps showing how to back it up! I did find this in the apple discussion forum. ( i think its for people who havennt made a copy of the applecomputer folder.
I just want to recover my itunes so i can just plug in my iphone and i dont loose data from when i did the backup 2 weeks ago, i can just plug in and contine like being on my old computerI
(By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your GF's computer, her phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to her phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from her phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.)
What do you guys reckon?
Thanks!

This is the process I would have recommended:
Backup your library using this User Tip.
Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.
For the "restore" process you can either just copy the backed up iTunes folder into the new computer or install and set up SyncToy to manage the transfer. If you install iTunes before restoring the library then you should delete/rename the existing empty iTunes library in your profile's music folder first.
Reconnecting an old iOS device backup set into a new iTunes installation is actually quite tricky, but provided the library has been properly conserved it is an unnecessary step. A library transferred as outlined above will be the same library the device was previously synced with, albeit on a different computer/operating system, and there should be no problem syncing media or apps. Info content such as calendar and contacts may need a little more care to make sure the same applications have as used previously have been installed and their data restored to them.

Cannot copy photos from camera roll to a synch folder

I cannot copy any photo stored in Camera Roll to folder that synch's with my PC. > "PC Synch Folder"<    I am using iphone 4s and iPad 3.   Happens to both iDevices.
On the iDevice the "PC Synch Folder" is greyed out when trying to do a copy.   In fact, I cannot even delete that folder from either iDevices.
For what it's worth, I can create a new folder on either iDevice and copy from Camera Roll to it. Fine. But that folder will not talk to the folder that I want to synch with my PC. Strange?
The folder "PC Synch Folder" will indeed sych any picture I put in there from the PC side.   However, what is in there, does not show up in Camera Roll. What I have in Camera roll cannot be transferred into the "PC Synch Folder"   It's like there is a wall between the folders.
Hence the problem is ... pictures taken on either iDevices cannot be transferred back to my PC!   I don't want this !
This seems most odd. Have I done something dumb and simple?

I use Picasa. You don't have to use iTunes at all. Connect the phone with the USB cable and launch the app of your choice, such as Picasa. Click the "Import" button at the upper left. Your iPhone should appear in the dropdown of choices to import from. You can then import all or some of the photos in the Camera Roll. You should be able to do the same thing with Microsoft Picture Manager or any other photo management program.
The reason that Elements is the only choice is that's the only one that iPhoto on the phone recognizes albums in.
You cannot move photos INTO the Camera Roll from your computer; it's a one-way transfer. But you can sync photos to the Photos app on the iPhone. You either use Elements, or just create a folder on your computer for photos to sync, then create a sub-folder for each album you want on your computer. Copy the photos to each album, then go to the Photos tab in iTunes and select the top-level folder. When you sync each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
However, I consider the photo app on the iPhone rather limited and klunky. Instead I use the app MyPics from the app store. It syncs photos from my Picasa Web albums directly to the phone over the air. I can also create albums in Picasa Web from the phone, and upload images from the Camera Roll directly to Picasa Web.
Another way to get photos (and other files) to and from the phone is Dropbox and similar cloud-based storage solutions.

How do I stop duplicates of saved photos from being imported into iPhoto?

When I sych to iPhoto, I get duplicates of art work that I have in "Saved Photos". iPhoto doesn't screen out art work that I have created and added before making a lot of work to delete all the duplicates.

Photos you take on your iPhone are normally displayed in the Last 12 Months section of iPhoto. If you are using iPhoto to archive photos copy the photos from there to other albums in iPhoto instead of syncing them.

How do you setup 2 separate apple accounts in icloud to download pictures into Photo Stream?

My wife and I have separate iphones running on there own ids. Cannot find a way to have both iphones feed photos into a common photo stream to the phones and our macbook pro. This has to be supported and cannot figure it out. Thoughts?

turingtest, I do have a couple questions.
Number one, does everyone in your family only sych their ipods from only 1 computer? If everyone only uses itunes from 1 computer I can see how that will work. But what if kids want to use itunes for windows? Will "Home Sharing" allow all their music purchased on the MAC, to be also displayed on their itunes for windows laptop? I noticed you have PCs and also an ipad. How do you manage your family's music on these devices?
Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library? Drag & drop? Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"? What does this do?
Thanks.
Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

Cant import my photos on pc

hi I'm having trouble syncing my iPhone 4 to PC running windows 7. Since updating to the latest version of iTunes and updating to ios5 I cant import my photos when I plug in my iPhone it says in iTunes that it is syncing and it goes through the 8 steps showed in the status bar in iTunes including the importing photos stage. but my photos are still not appearing on my computer. before the update when I plugged in the phone windows popped up a window importing photos and would do it automatically . I would appreciate any help as this is driving me up the wall!!!! again thanks in advance

I would caution against "always do" and leave it uncheced. Otherwise when you connect iPod etc device it may not - did not for me - show up in iTunes anymore. That is more of a warning.
I would though consider backup, uncheck all the content you do sync, and resetting. And then sych media content back - one at a time, until you have it the way you need to.
Maybe even remove aside the iTunes backup data and do a fresh backup iPod to iTunes first.

Can't sync photos - One possible issue is solved

To all those people tearing their hair out trying to sync photo's onto their iPod Classic, I have found one significant thing. After spending weeks trying to figure this out, I was down to analyzing the network traffic between my iPod and the library (which is pretty sad) and low and behold - I found something.
Since my photo library existed on my server, I was referencing it using a UNC path, which is perfectly fine EXCEPT it ended up being a very LONG PATH to my library of photos. In my network analyzer, it appeared that the path to the directory where I store my photos was getting truncated when being processed by my iPod sync. Ouch!
Sorry - I don't remember the exact length limit, but I fixed the problem by creating a share on my server for directory where I store my photos and mapping a drive letter on my workstation. Then in the iPod/ITunes Photo Tab, I changed the directory in the "Sync photos from" field to point to my very short drive letter.
There are certainly more problems with, but I think this is possibly one of the big problems with sych'ing photos.
Good luck!
Peter

Try deleting the iPod photo Cache folder from inside the folder photos are syncing from.

I upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and lost my photos

If you've used your phone as recommened you've imported your photos into iPhoto or to another folder on your PC.
Just sych your photos back.
