Sync photos from Windows XP problems

Problem syncing photos to AppleTV. The AppleTV is connected to an Apple Airport. The Airport also is set up with a disk drive. All my photos are stored on that drive. The AppleTV is set up to sync with my Dell (windowsXP Pro)laptop running iTunes. It syncs music, TV shows, podcasts, all OK.
I found the Airport drive and all the file folders appear in the selection window, but when one of the files is selected and you try to sync, it just goes into a sync loop, forever. Not sure what to do - any suggestions

I played around with the ITUNES pictures till I figured out what works for me. In my docs, my pictures is a folder called Itunes photos. I drag the photos I want to sync into that folder. In ITUNES I can select the appropriate ATV and in the photos tab, tell it to sync that folder. They show up.
Rather than try and figure out how ITUNES and the ATV actually work (too painful for this DOS guy) I just leave the settings alone and manage my synced photos in that aforementioned foto file folder.

  • Syncing photos from windows to 5th gen. iPod

    I have twice synched photos from Windows PC to iPod. Each time the new photos have replaced the old photos, which were removed from my iPod. What do you suggest for resolving this issue?

    That's simply how it works when you use automatic photo syncing. If you want to keep the existing photos in your iPod you need to set it to update photos manually, not automatically.

  • Syncing photos from Windows to ipod

    I was wondering how big or small the photos have to be before I sync them. I have about 50 in my My Pictures file, all in an ipod acceptable format, but only 20-25 sync.
    I figure it's the size of the others that's preventing them from syncing.
    Any advice? THANK YOU!

  • Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

    I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2. 
    for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync.  I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up.  I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
    So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue?????  I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

    problem solved using this thread...

  • Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

    I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
    Any thoughts welcome.

    ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

    Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

  • Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

    Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
    When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
    Thank you!!!

    I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
    To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
    Change it so no photos are synced.
    Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
    Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

  • Unable to sync photos from iPhoto

    Got an 8GB iPod Touch yesterday. I can sync everything except my photos from iPhoto. When I go to the Photo tab in iTunes, I place a tick in the check-box that says "Sync photos from:" and then I select iPhoto from the Combo-box. There are 2 radio buttons but only "All photos and albums" is available... "Selected Albums" is greyed out. The box below the radio buttons is also grey and has no entries.
    If I try to sync "All photos and albums" I get an error message on my computer that reads: "The iPod [iPod name] cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    Software updates have all been applied, I have restored my iPod, have verified and fixed file permissions, etc. I have rebuilt the iPhoto library (Command-Option). Both iTunes and iPhoto have been working fine, with no other problems. I am using iLife '08 so I am using iPhoto '08 (version 7.1 (347)).
    Has anyone any experience with the problem? I'm thinking that my next step is to reinstall iPhoto/iTunes but I would much rather not have to do that... any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Bill
    P.S. I can sync photos from my desktop, just not from iPhoto '08.
    P.P.S. My 5th gen video iPod can sync photos from my iPhoto library!

    Hi Damon,
    Thanks for the update and the suggestion of trying a new user account... I don't know why that didn't occur to me. Well, you will not be too surprised to hear that with a new user account the photos synced no problem.
    That leaves me with an iPhoto library rebuild on my hands. The Apple provided rebuild didn't resolve my issue when I tried it last week. So I will need to do a manual rebuild... something which I have done once before but vowed never to do again as I lost hundreds of hours of work organising and tagging my photos... something which I have invested considerable time in recovering and don't want to lose them again.
    With Leopard around the corner, I will be performing a clean install of the new OS on a fresh HDD within the month, so I am going to recreate my iPhoto library that way... rather than invest time now only to see it wasted later.
    Thanks once again for the pointers to those Apple docs... most useful.
    Kind regards,
    William

  • Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

    I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
    This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
    Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
    I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
    - Firewall is off
    - Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
    - I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
    Specs:
    iMac G5 PowerPC
    Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
    tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
    iTunes 7.4.2
    I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
    Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    AC

    I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
    Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
    It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

  • 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.

  • How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

    I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

    This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
    In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
    Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
    Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

  • I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location.  Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu.  How do I fix this?

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
    Click to view full size
    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC?

    How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC? I just can't seem to figure it out. All I want to do is take the pictures i took with my iPhone camera and sync them to a folder on my PC (Windows Vista). Thanks for the help.

    I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

  • Can't Sync Photos from iPhoto

    Since I got my iPod last December, I have not been able to sync photos from iPhoto 4.0.3. When I select iPhoto in the Photos preferences of my iPod, none of my albums show up and when I try to update it, I get a message: "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    It's not a serious problem because I can still get my photos on there by selecting my iPhoto library folder as a source, but I would like to have access to my photo albums from the iPod.

    Anyone? Please??
