Syncing iPad repeats processing of photos

Every time I sync my iPad (1st gen), I get the same photo processing activity going on. Started when using iTunes 10.4 and has continued same issue after recent update to version 10.4.1.
First, the iTunes top activity window says "Reconciling photos"...
then another separate panel "Optimizing Photos for iPad" opens over iTunes saying "Optimizing photo (# of current photo) of 13".
This always happens with exactly the same info - same number of photos and all. I've never changed the photos but this activity keeps happening.
Where can i find the photos so i can deal wioth it and stop this happening at every sync?
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Aha. Well I guess that solves it -- I do have my preview settings super low-res.
That's a really strange/questionable design decision. This means I'm actually better off using iPhoto or manually syncing with folders (I have good reasons for using low-res previews).
Thanks!

When I sync iPad with Mac my photos are not loaded

I Recently erased my Mac prior I backed it up to an external drive when I reloaded the information when I sync my Ipad the photos I have on the iPad are not there

I'm not sure where the photos aren't - after syncing are they not on your iPad, or are expecting syncing to copy them from your iPad to your Mac ?
If not on the iPad then what type of photos are they ? If they were originally synced from your Mac then did your restore of your Mac put those photos back where they were on your Mac, and they are still selected on the iPad's Photos tab in your iTunes for syncing to the iPad ?

ICloud Photo not syncing + High CPU process (Win 8.1 pro)

This is a new persistent issue with my iCloud and I can't figure out how to fix it permanently because I was able to fix it few days ago, but issues return back a day later! So here's the full story...
I just received a new (AWESOME!!) Surface Pro 3 i5 256 GB tablet with Windows 8.1 professional. I installed iCloud on it as well as iTunes and Quicktime (the basics isn't it?). When setting up my iCloud account first, everything sync up correctly but after a few days (3-4 days), I notice than my Surface tablet are becoming pretty hot and making some fan noise (common Surface issue) when I didn't use it really. So I checked for a high-CPU process and I noticed than "iCloud Photo Stream Downloader" are stuck at 30-35% CPU for an hours ago. Moreover at this point I realized than my photos are not syncing for a few days. I fix the high-CPU process by rebooting, but my photo are still not syncing at all and after a few minutes after reboot, the "downloader" process stuck back to 30-35% and still not syncing!
So I first try some of the workaround found on the internet like sign out iCloud app, then kill all iCloud related process and delete folder %appdata%/Apple/Mediastream and reboot and sign in... same thing... after a few minutes, high-CPU usage + not syncing! I try to "repair" iCloud installation... same thing (high CPU + not syncing)... I uninstalled iCloud + reinstalled... same thing!
I finally fix the situation by uninstalling ALL Apple related software (iTunes, iCloud, Quicktime, Apple Soft Upd, Apple Mobile Sup, Apple App Sup, Bonjour, etc) and thereafter deleting all "Apple_xxxx" folders in %appdata% and also remove all registry keys from the Windows Registry related to Apple. Reboot then reinstall iTunes first and then run "Apple Soft Upd" to install automatically iCloud + Quicktime... then reboot, sign in and then the photo finally sync this time and no high-CPU process!
But a days later... High CPU + Fan noise on the tablet... so checked and the god **** "iCloud Photo Downloader" are again stuck at 30-35% and no more photo sync (I saw the old photos, but not the last day's photo are not sync).
Anybody experience this situation and know how to fix it PERMANENTLY? I checked at my Apple iCloud LOGS and the only thing I saw that can be suspicious is the last line of the log who's :
[2472 @ Tue Nov 11 19:45:09 2014] [YSLog ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe] defaults key ShouldLog in domain ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe is (null)
Please help!!

In fact I discovered later I have this issue on all my Windows computers... both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, both MACs (BootCamp) or true PC computers. Except only the Surface Pro 3 tablet seem to have the HIGH-CPU process issue, but all my other Windows PCs stopped syncing too after a few weeks or so.
I just build a BRAND NEW HP Pro Desktop computer running Windows 8.1 Professional and a few days later iCloud Photo stopped syncing too... this is the straw that broke the camel's back! This PC is brand new and no other software are installed except iCloud, iTunes, QuickTime and Microsoft Office 2013 (Office 365). PC is brand new (1 week old) and iCloud Photos sync is already broken!
I also have a few Windows 7 PCs at home (HTPCs on TVs) where iCloud Control Panel is installed and after looking at them, they stopped syncing too for a while (many months ago) but I didn't noticed it yet because I don't check photos often on them.
For now I just give up and disabled the iCloud Photo Sync completely on all my Windows PCs. It only sync between my two iPads, my two iPhones and my two Macs computer (MBPr + iMac 27") and that's it... that's sad, but I'm tired loosing my time with that crappy software!
PLEASE APPLE!! MAKE ICLOUD FOR WINDOWS BETTER!!

Thanks for that, that was my first suggestion but he wants to not email either. His problem is he used his old nokia to do it and it was fine, now anything other than that he thinks is too much hassle.

Issues with Photo orientation after syncing IPad

Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the ipad changing the orientation of photos following syncing ipad with itunes. What I have been experiencing is that although the photo is in portrait orientation in iphoto on the imac, this same photo after syncing of the ipad with itunes on this same imac machine, the photo when opened up on the ipad is in landscape orientation. Have consulted with senior advisors at apple but not sure if this is an iphoto problem or an itunes/ipad sync problem? seems to me that whatever the orientation of the photo is in iphoto, that when you sync the ipad the photo should transfer with the same orientation. anyone else having this problem?

There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

New iPad 2 won't sync iPhotos without deleting existing photos

I just got the iPad 2 and want to sync my photos from my Mac. It won't sync all of them at once (pop up window says it can't sync) so I tried a few albums at a time, which works but deletes the previous photos with new ones. It shouldn't be this hard, right? Help please!

To add a new album without erasing other existing ones, just leave the current ones checked in iTunes before syncing. You can add photos from one (or more) iPhoto or Aperture events/albums at a time, but DON'T unselect the events you want to keep in iTunes or any unselected album will be deleted.
There shouldn't be a restriction on the number of photos to be synced at a time. I have loaded 17,000 photos with iTunes from my iPhoto database on my iPad and 24,000 photos from my Aperture database (via iTunes) onto my iPad 2 without a problem.

Q re sync. I have deleted photos on my iMac going from 20,000 to 11,000. My iPad still has the 20,000. If I sync the 2 hopefully I will end up with only 11,000 on both devices but before I sync I want to make certain I won't end up 20,000 again

sync between desktop and iPad

Sorry, been away for quite a while....to clarify....
When you sync photos from iTunes, you overwrite the last set of photos that you synced unless you select them to sync to the iPad again. All photos have to be included/selected in every sync, and if any photos are not selected to sync, those photos will be erased. Since the photos no longer exist on your Mac, it is impossible for them to reappear on the iPad when you sync again. You have nothing to worry about ad long as the photos have been deleted from the Mac.

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.

No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

How do I transfer videos from iPhone 5 to iPad Air? My photos are automatically syncing but videos are not.

Try using a third-party app like DropBox.

Problem: linking iTunes to Photoshop Elements after upgrading to iOS 7.3.4 to sync iPad to Albumns in Organiser.

Since upgrading to iOS 7.0.3.4 I can link to Folders but not to Albums in Photoshop Elkements 11.
Is Apple aware of this bug and can we expect that it will be corrrected in due course?
Has anyone got a fix?
I can Export Albums from Organiser to Adobe Revel and then iTunes recognises the Album - but Revel only recognises JPEG files and they have to be small as exporting is such a slow process.
I can import a PDF file to my iPad containing a photo slide show previously created with Elements Organiser - it finds its way to the Books app.

Thanks: I did not make it clear that the acquisition of Revel was subsequent to the onset of my problem - Revel is an attempt to work around the problem.
When using iOS 6 the link from iPad to Photosdhop Elements - Organiser - Albums via iTunes worked perfectly - I could sync iPad with iTunes no trouble. Upgrade to iOS 7 and iTunes - Photos showed the title of the Album but contained no photos. After exporting an Album from Orgniser to Revel the photos automatically re-appeared in the iTunes albums list.
Have you any other suggestions?

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
