Sync photos with ipad

every time I sync iPad with iTunes, it copies all photos again. how can I solve?

Not sure what you mean by "copies all photos again."
What should happen each time you sync using iTunes is that it should set the non-Camera Roll photos on the iPad to match the current settings on the photos tab of iTunes. It is a one-way transfer (from the computer to the iPad). If you haven't changed the settings on the photos tab of iTunes (and haven't added photos to or deleted photos from the computer folders specified in those settings) then nothing should change on the iPad. If you have changed the settings or added/deleted photos in the selected folders on the computer, then the iPad should change to match the computer.
If you have photos moving the other direction (from the iPad to the computer) then that is not something to do with iTunes sync. That would be an import to the computer which has nothing to do with iTunes sync. Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Reply with more information on what is happening and I may be able to give a more helpful answer.

Can not sync photos with iPad or iPhone after upgrade to lion

I upgraded to lion and now i get an error message saying could not sync photos with Ipad as they can not be viewed on the ipad. I lost everything when i upgraded and had to reload all my files using a new user. Now i cant sync my photos with my ipad or my iphone. some come over but only about 10% of the photos.

Same issue here - followed this process and now syncing fine: http://leimobile.com/faq-how-to-fix-ios-5-photo-sync-issues/

How Do I Sync Photos With iPad Using iTunes?

Since updating to OS X 10.10.3, iTunes 12.1.2.27, and Photos, I cannot sync any photos to any devices. Previously, I would connect a device, choose photo albums in iTunes, and sync. Now, I connect a device and no matter what I choose in the photos tab on iTunes, the number of pictures is 0. Also, it shows iPhoto as the source. How do I correct this so I can get my pictures on my devices again?
Note: I am not going to store my photos in iCloud.
Thank you in advance.

Pics taken with ipad are not part of the sync process at all.
You import them as you would from any digital camera.

Issues when syncing photos with iPad

It just gets better...iPhoto 11 will not sync with iPad library if it contains old iPhoto 9 pictures. Excellent, a communication device that can longer communicate (Spot the irony). Aperture sync with iPad is OK

I may be doing something wrong... I'm trying to sync my pictures folder, and within it, I have one folder per year, and within them, one folder per month.
When I synch'ed my iPad, all 5,000 photos were in just one album, making it quite impractical to browse through them.
This is my folder structure:
My pictures
\-- 2009
\-- 2009-01
\-- 2009-02
\-- etc
\-- 2010
\-- 2010-01
Is there any way to replicate that into albums in the iPad?
Thanks!!

ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'.... I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces.... I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

The photos won't get lost.
You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.

Can anyone advise how to dowload iTunes 11.1 onto a MacBook which already has 10.6.3? I get the message that 10.6.3 is the latest version when I try updating directly through the iTunes icon/app. When I go online and find and download 11.1 it does not come on my laptop. I need 11.1 to sync photos with my iPad.

Click here, buy the DVD, back up your data, install it, and run Software Update twice.

Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
But weird things happened after syncing.
(1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
(2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
Anyone know what's going on here?
I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
Unsure what's going on ...

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
OK here is my senario:
Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
This is what I did thinking it should work...
1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Itunes will not sync photos to ipad 3 properly

Problems I've had since ipad 3:
I download and install latest itunes
i tell it to restore from backup of my ipad 2 - it fails, it simply does not give me the choice to pick my ipad 2 restore, so i end up doing new setup.
i tell itunes to slectively backup a folder containing 174 jpeg images that synced fine on my ipad 2 but on my ipad 3 it fails
i can see itunes copying the 174 images but when i check on my ipad 3 they are not there. in fact it copied only 3 files.
so i try again. i tell it to backup 6 folders of which contain a total of about 500 images
after sync/copy is done i verify and there is only like 20 images?? where are the rest?
i've tried every possible combination but no matter what it will only copy a few of the files.
anyone else have problems syncing photos? it seems to work fine syncing apps, music just not photos which is my main use of the device since i'm a photographer.
any ideas would be grateful.
i've tried reinstalling
setup my ipad as new and gone thru the whole process
i double checked my jpeg files are they are present in the folder and open up fine.
i just cant get itunes to sync photos properly.

Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

Syncing Photos with reduced size

Initially when I sync photos between my computer and iTouch, there is an option of whether to keep the original size of those photos. After I switched to a different folder to sync photos with iTouch, I do not have that option from iTune. can someone help? How I can make that switch?
Thanks,

This isn't a direct answer, since I'm not running Photoshop Elements on a PC, but what you describe works perfectly with geotagged photos coming from iPhoto on my Mac. Photos taken in Texas and parts of Europe west of Greenwich show up fine; photos taken in Tunisia do also. I wonder if there's something funky about the EXIF information for the photos that don't show up? For whatever it's worth, here's the data from one of my Tunisia photos that DOES show up in Places on my iPad:
-- GPS IFD -- :
GPS tag version : 0,0,2,2
North or South Latitude : N
Latitude : 35°40'55.67"
East or West Longitude : E
Longitude : 10°6'11.74"
Altitude reference : Sea level
Altitude : 60.2m

Sync Photos to iPad - Windows folder to iPad albums

Hi,
Would like to ask you, I want to sync Photos to iPad using Windows iTunes. My Photos are organized in folders, will iTunes convert my folders into albums in the iPads after syncing?
Thanks.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Unable to sync photos to iPad

Unable to sync photos to iPad since installing iOS 5

Thanks Leonie. I removed the iPod Photo Cache and tried again, but still no luck
Is enough space on your device for all photos?
Where is your iPhoto Library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
Are the recent photos o.k.? Do they show, when you enlarge them? Can you edit them?
Have you repaired the permissions in your iPhoto Library or repaired the library? You can repair the iPhoto Library using the First Aid Tools:
Try to launch into the First Aid Tools by holding down the key combination option-command ⌥⌘ and clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto.
Keep the two buttons firmly held down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
Then select "Repair permissions".
Repeat with "Repair database", if the first repair did not help.
