Sync photos from iTunes to the iPad

When I synchronize the iPad Air while connected to iTunes in my Mac, I normally intend to transfer the new photos, faces and events included in the iPhoto app in the Mac, since the rest of older photos are already stored in the iPad, which were transferred in previous synchronizations.
But sometimes I find that the Photos tab in iTunes doesn't show the mark of synchronization (as it were not synchronized before). And when I mark it and try to start synchronization, it advises me that all the pictures will be deleted before transferring the selected photos from the "new" library. It seems that it doesn't recognize the actual library in iTunes as the same that was used in previous synchronizations, and therefore it needs to delete everything (the complete photos collection), and start copying again from zero. It is quite boring, because I have a big photo collection, and takes a lot of time to copy into the iPad the thousands of pictures as they were new all of them.
How can I adjust iTunes to identify my Library in the Mac as the same that I am trying to synchronize every time?
I'm not sure if it is clear the problem with this confusing explanation, but I will appreciate any support on this matter.
Thanks and regards,
Alejandro

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

    Yes, you can.  If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

    Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

  • I have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

    i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

    first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
    once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
    this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
    you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply'

  • Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The  Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

    Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone.  Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices. 

    I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
    The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

  • Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

    I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto.  I keep getting the following error:
    "The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
    If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

    I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
    I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
    Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
    I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

  • HT4236 tring to sync photos from my pc to ipad but it says "ITune cannot sync apps to the Ipad "user's Ipad" because the apps installed on the Ipad could not be determined.  I don't know what that means.  Can anyone help?

    I am trying to sync photograpghs from my PC to my ipad but it is saying ITunes cannot sync apps to the ipad "user's ipad" because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined.  I have no idea what that means.  Can anyone help?

    I'm sorry about your loss.
    Are you trying to recover data from this iPad, or to set it up as new (erase everything on it, and simply use the iPad as if it were brand new as your new iPad)?
    If the latter, you can place the iPad into recovery mode as shown here.  You may have to try this several times:

  • How do I delete all or multiple synced apps from iTunes where the app has already been removed from iPad?

    I have recently purchased the latest iPad and been trying lots of apps.  These apps are synced with iTunes on a regular basis.  I want to delete synced apps from my iTunes backup that I have removed from my iPad.
    I am aware of a manual way of removing apps from the iTunes backup but it is far too painful and cumbersome.  You have to select the iPad under devices, click the apps tab up the top, and then see which items are not ticked (which runs very slow I might add, but it is a big list).  After noting them down, I then visit the apps section under library on the left, highlight all the unwanted apps, right click and delete.
    Unless there is some special way of doing this that I am un aware of, it would be really helpful if the libary application view had a column which informed me which ones were still on my iPad.  I could then sort by that column, and then delete all the removed apps.

    Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

  • Sync photos from iTunes 0 photos yet my iPhone has 2546 photos

    I have an iphone 5 all software is up to date. 
    My problem is that when I use iTunes to sync my phone I have zero (0) photos selected from iphoto to be synced yet I have over 2500 photos on my phone. 
    1. My question is do I have to manually delete the photos from my phone?
    2. Why doesn't the phone sync to (0) photos when I don't select any photos in itunes/iphoto to be synced?
    3.  Music works fine, I uncheck my music and no music syncs why don't the photos work the same way?
    Thanks

    Where are the photos on your iPhone?  Are they in your Camera Roll?  If so, then they aren't affected by an iTunes sync.
