Sync photos on Vista

I can't sync my photos to my Ipod on my Vista OS.
When I attempt to sync my entire photo library one of three things happens. 1)Itunes crashes 2) another open program crashes 3) Windows Vista crashes.
When I attempt to sync one folder at a time with number of files between 20 and 150 it only sync a few of the photos, i.e. 6 out of 22 or 30 out of 100, or on rare occasions it will crash in one of the three forms listed above.

Yep - I've got Vista same issue BUT moved the photos that I wanted on my iphone to a seperate folder such as iphone photos. Then browsed from itunes to the folder i set up. Now no problem. Do you have problems syncing your calendar. I've tried everything and it hasn't happened yet. !!!!!

  • Anyone else having problem with RAID and iTunes syncing photos in Vista?

    Hello,
    For whatever reason iTunes can not load some of the photos from C drive. It can do it from D drive, though VERY slow. Both C and D are NTFS system, but C is a RAID 0 drive (implemented by hardware on motherboard, Intel 82801G controller). I just wander if this is something related to iTunes not working correctly with RAID drivers, or is it something else? I should say that ALL other programs and games working fine on this drive.
    Thanks for the replies.

    The problem is with Windows Vista using the NTFS file system, check out this post for the official solution. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it:

  • Error syncing photos on Vista

    I am having this problem:
    "dlrgc1_w01.jpg" was not copied to the iPod "iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    My computer is Windows Vista and I purchased this 16GB iPod Touch on Sept. 27th. That afternoon I was able to sync the exact same photo to my iPod without a problem. That night I updated the firmware and iTunes. Since then I have been unable to sync this photo or most any other photo. Every once in a while one will work, but there is a color band across the image.
    Here is what I've tried that hasn't helped:
    * Reset all of the settings on the iPod touch.
    * Completely restored the iPod touch.
    * Completely unininstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
    * Tried dragging individual photos directly to the iPod Touch in iTunes.
    * Tried dragging folders directly to the iPod Touch in iTunes.
    * Tried syncing folders from iTunes.
    * Called tech support who were little to know help. (who by the way seem to be clueless. When I asked about size limitations for images I was told "I have no idea" and she pretty much blamed my images although I told her that I was previously able to upload the same exact images to my iPod)
    Next, I brought my iPod to an Apple store's Genius bar. They restored the iPod and synced photos from a Mac without a problem. Told me to go home and try it again. No luck. Still doesn't work on Vista on multiple computers. The Genius bar told me to try exchanging it with Circuit City where I bought it, but of course they are all out of the iPod touch.
    I've read other places that other users are having the same problem. Some suggest using a Flash drive to copy over the photos and say it has something to do with copying from a SATA hard drive. I don't have a Flash drive and this certainly isn't a proper solution even if it works. I should be able to sync from my hard drive.
    I hope Apple fixes this problem soon. If anyone knows of a solution, please help.

    I too am having the same problem, with an 8gb iPod touch. and Windows Vista Home Premium. It took itunes 12 minutes (and used 100% of the systems resources for all that time) to tell me that it wasn't going to transfer the jpegs to the ipod because the ipod couldn't display them. I don't understand why itunes needs to take complete control of core duo 2.2GHz 2Gb system just to resize 4 jpegs. Anyone from Apple have an answer?
    Worse than the photo problem was the hard reset that happened when I tried to import a video into itunes. Since that moment the computer has rebooted unexpectedly several times and my main user profile is somewhat screwed now - I no longer have any items in my start menu and am unable to modify the task bar - it's permanently locked. Also, FF has forgotten that it's my preferred browser but I am unable to set this either.
    I didn't spend £2000 on this laptop 6 weeks ago to have it buggered up by half-baked software / hardware.
    If anyone knows a solution to either of these problems I for one would be glad to hear it - after all, it would be nice to be able to use the functionality that this thing was advertised as having.

  • Syncing Photos from Vista to iPhone - a proven method

    I, along with many, have had many problems syncing my pictures from my Vista PC to my iPhone. I found a solution. Many said to use a seperate memory device such as a USB flash storage device. i tried this and it didn't work for me. So I used a Memory Stick PRO duo. Some of you might not have a Memory Stick slot in your computers but I do think you can get one at Best Buy or any other retailer with an electronics section. Anyway, once you insert the Memory Stick into your computer you should be prompted to "Open to view files." Do so and make a new folder and label it "pictures" or however you want it to show up on your iPhone. Start clicking and dragging all of the pics you want into this new folder. Now in iTunes, dock your iPhone. Once you see the syncing tabs, click on Photos and change the folder you sync your pics from. Scroll down click on the Computer directory, Memory Stick PRO, and finally the folder you stored the pictures you want on your iPhone. Back in iTunes, leave it "all photos" unless you decided to make subdirectories and whatnot. You should probably make sure all of your photos are in .JPG format. From my little experience, that's the only photo format Apple products recognize. Now this isn't the end-all solution for this problem but it did work for me and i'm not very computer-literate. This did get rid of the distortion problems as well such as the slashes of odd color and so forth.
    Enjoy

    Glad you found a solution that works for you, but I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a Vista problem, nor one that is affecting "many" Vista users. I have never had a problem syncing photos from my Vista machine to my iPhone, nor renaming file extensions to make ringtones. I know of at least a half-dozen other Vista/iPhone users in my circle of friends, also with no problems. Maybe it has to do with User Access Control -- that annoying pop-up that wants your permission to make even the smallest changes to your system. I disabled UAC within minutes of using Vista the first time, and haven't looked back. Not saying your issues don't exist -- just that they may be related more to your particular settings & configuration than to Vista itself.

    This is how Apple handles photos.
    Just as a song is in your music library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  your photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the labum you synced.
    It is working exactly as designed.

  • 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?

    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.)

  • Distorted photos after syncing using windows vista

    i've been trying to correct a issue that i have, everytime i sync a photo from my pictures folder, it comes out all distorted on my iphone. i even try syncing photos taken from my iphone folder to the iphone again anf it comes out distorted. ive called apple nd they said the have no idea what is causing that. any answers would help....... i was reading on readyboost, possibly it might work if i purchase it, but i dont want to waste my money if i have no guarantee that it will solve my problem.........

    /// i actually solved my issue with having distored photos. windows vista uses a different type of driver other than FAT32 which is used on older windows, apple does not properly support that type of driver. so i did some research on readyboost, it enhances your memory which would probally fix the issue but quite expensive. so i transfered all my pictures from my c:/ hardrive to an external SD card.. i synced form the memory card and it fixed my issue. ///
    I've had problems with importing pics from vista to my iphone since day 1. Distorted pics...missing pics...and pics not syncing at all. So I saved all my pics on a memory stick as per dude above and it all synced perfectly. Now why did this work? i have no clue but thank you very much bud.

  • How do I sync photos FROM iphone TO pc using wifi?

    I have a 4S I bought in Mar 2012 - just updated to IOS6
    PC is a 2011 Dell Inspirion 620 running Windows 7
    Browsers are IE & Chrome
    I am a computer person so I'm not new to the techno world but this is my first iphone so I'm new to Apple    There are plenty of places to get info about syncing photos using icloud or syncing from PC to iPhone but I'm getting conflicting  info on syincing FROM iphone TO pc using WIFI. One video I watched told me I needed to download PhotoSync so I did.   Then I read that I needed the companion app for Photosync -- Apple.com talks about something called iphoto 
    I am totally confused can someone please explain to me how to transfer photos FROM my iphone TO my pc using  WiFi? 
    Do I need to download something like photosync? or another type of app.?
    Thank you
    Christine

    So, just to clarify, you're a "computer person" and cannot follow links?  Well ok, here goes
    Download theiCloud Control Panel.
    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).Download now (you have to follow that link I cannot post the file here).
    Turn on iCloud.
    From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
    Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
    For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
    On your iPhone go to settings-iCloud and ensure you're signed in and that "photo stream" is enabled.
    Any more questions?

  • 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.

  • HT2265 sync photos to apple tv

    im trying to Sync photos via iTunes to my apple tv (1st generation), but i dont have the option  "Sync photos from: ...", the only thing that appears is "share photos...." please help!!

    I am experiencing the exact same problem. I was momentarily able to get the Apple TV to start syncing photos after I moved them all to the public folder in Vista (I thought maybe sharing permissions were a problem), but the problem has no recurred. I can see all the movie and TV content and can sync those files, but it will not sync photos. I have attempted a full reset of the Apple TV to factory condition and started from scratch without resolving the problem.

  • Sync photos not working

    I am trying to sync my photos to the ipod and the computer has shut down twice during the process. I am using iTunes 7.2 on Vista. I can sync music no problem, just the photos is not working. I am not sure what to do.

    good gracious ... i assume she's brand spanking new? (i've never seen an HP model before that only offers Vista downloads and drivers pages.)
    anyhoo, i had a look at your downloads and drivers page:
    Software & Driver downloads: HP Pavilion Slimline s7727c Desktop PC (Vista 32-bit)
    what springs out at me is the Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update. there is a problem with nVidia video cards on Vista boxes with SATA drives that typically manifests as poor computer performances and blue-screen restarts when playing video files, as described in the "Additional information" section of the following document:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback perfomance issues
    the Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller update/rollback has been been helping with that on HP desktop models. so i think it's worth checking to see if that update/rollback will help with the PC restarts you're getting with syncing photos.
    (it's probably also worth checking to see if you're up to date on that NVIDIA Graphics Driver Update also being listed on your downloads page.)
    do you still get the photo-syncing restarts after applying the updates from HP?

  • IPhone Syncing Problems (Windows Vista)

    I've ran into a problem, where I can't sync any of my photos, i've seen problems but not like this, almost all the time when i sync my photos it gives me a blue screen error (windows vista) sometimes it will sync some of them but they arent viewable or even able to find on the phone, another problem im having is i have 3 computers and i cant sync my 3 librarys on my iphone i want all 3 to be the same any ideas... thanks,
    greg

    greg,
    This article may help with your blue screens when you are trying to sync photos:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
    Also, you can only sync to one computer at a time. Therefore, you will not be able to use the iPhone with 3 different libraries without erasing what's on the iPhone when you sync it with a new computer. You can find more information about syncing in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2626win.html
    If you want all 3 libraries to have the same content, you would need to copy the content on each computer to all the others. For more information on how to transfer your iTunes content to each computer, check out this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93366
    Good luck!

  • Unreasonable space requirements for syncing photos to nano...

    I have a 1st generation 4GB nano, with up to date firmware (version 1.3.1, Mac formatted). I'm using iTunes version 7.6 (29) and having trouble syncing photos (from iPhoto) to my nano.
    I have configured iTunes to sync photos from only one, relatively small set, and have not turned on the full resolution copies. If I leave a bunch of space free on my ipod (over 100 MBs) then my photos sync fine. However, when there is less space free, but still seemingly enough space to fit the photos, iTunes tells me "No photos were copied to the iPod... because there is not enough free space on the iPod to hold your photos and albums."
    For example, I was able to successfully sync my photo set such that I had 3.57GB in Audio, 726.2 KB for Photos, 48 MB for Other (what is "Other", btw?) and 143.4 MB of free space. However, I am not able to sync any photos when I have 3.68 GB in Audio, 47.9 MB in Other and 34.3 MB in free space.
    What I don't understand is if the photos only take up 726.2 KB, iTunes should be able to sync them to the iPod when there's still 34.3 MB of free space left.

    And then there were four...
    This is rather frustrating. Not that I think it will do any good, but here's what I sent using iTunes' "Feedback" option since there is no way, that I have found, to directly ask the iTunes technicians a technical question:
    There is no place to directly ask you (the iTunes technicians) for support about iTunes except in the forums. My question is already in the forums and already has three people with the same problem and no answer. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6240563&#6240563
    Vista Ultimate x64, HP Pavilion TX1000 CTO, 2GB RAM, AMD Turion 64x2.
    iTunes version 7.6.1.9
    Not all photos sync to the ipod, it doesn't say why or what to do, they are *.jpg files. Some that do sync end up looking distorted with color bars and other odd artifacts, originals remain pristine. Sometimes when syncing photos, I get a blue screen of death.
    I know you don't respond to these comments, but at least have someone post a fix on the forum there, or tell me to whom I can send comments for official help with specific and real issues instead of the very general user guides, "support documents" and "blind leading the blind" forums.

  • Is anyone having trouble syncing photos ?

    Some of my photos were messed up digitally, and had color blocks at the top or bottom, lighter areas in half the photo, the bottom half of the photo would be offset by a few pixels and just generally messed up. Some even looked color smeared (best way I can describe what I was seeing). After an exhaustive trial and error campaign, calling tech support once and taking the phone in to an Apple store, I finally have put my finger on the problem (I believe). I am running a Raid 1 setup with two identical drives. Each time I would sync photos to the iPhone I would have the problem. I had recently bought a USB/ATA external drive box and put one of my old harddrives in it that I wanted to recover some photos from. When I would transfer my pictures over to the single USB harddrive, and point iTunes to that location my photos would sync fine. I believe it is the Raid setup that is causing the problem. Raid must handle some files in such a way that Apple did not take in to consideration. I have called this in to tech support. I seem to be the only one with the problem so far.

    b noir,
    This is a great post. I am an the IT administrator at my office. 1 of 7 employees were having trouble syncing photo's. All 7 employees are using a version of VIST OS.
    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, iTunes, Quick Time, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update several times. I deleted/edited registry, turned off all firwalls, etc. I still could not sync photo's. Seeing how this was a ne computer I asked the employee where the photo's were transferred from and she handed me a 60G WD Passport. I then proceeded to sync the photo's directly from the external drive to the iPhone, and.....every photo synced. I was hoping not have to contact apple support, so thanks.

  • ITunes sync keeps crashing Vista and Win7 - driving me nuts! Please help

    I cannot get iTunes to complete a sync of either my iPhone 3GS or my wife's 3G after updating both to firmware v4.0.1. The back ups appear to complete, then the sync goes through app updating OK and seems to crash when loading music in playlists, or when troubleshooting, I deselected syncing music altogether, it crashed during syncing photo albums from folders. When it crashes, the laptop (Vista) just completely shuts off. I clean uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and had the same problem. I disabled the firewall and anti-virus programs as well with no luck.
    Then, I swapped out the hard drive for a new one with a clean installation of Win7, freshly installed iTunes and copied and updated my music library and tried to sync and got the exact same crashing problem with the laptop abruptly shutting off. So after around 8 hours on a Saturday futzing around with this, I have accomplished nothing and am really frustrated.  Can anyone suggest something to get iTunes working properly?
    Thanks...

    Will not complete a sync without crashing and saying cannot read to the device or something to that effect.
    That sounds familiar.
    Just doublechecking ... have you worked through the suggestions from the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?
    [What to do when Windows displays a blue screen error message or restarts when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502]
    (The stuff I was worried about in my initial reply has since been documented in its own troubleshooting document. Some of the symptoms of that are covered in: [iTunes for Windows: System restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3441] )
