Syncing photos crashing iTunes

Friends,
I tried to load some pictures onto my 3G iPhone (which I named Oliver). Now iTunes says the photos are on the iPhone, but I can't seem to access them from the phone. Also, whenever I try to sync now, iTunes freezes up. Any help? Besides the inevitable "get a Mac"?

One thing you can try.
On your desktop or wherever that is convenient, create a new folder.
Call it iphone or test or just leave it untitled.
Make sure the iphone is disconnected.
Open itunes.
Click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
In the preferences window, click on the syncing tab.
There is a check box in the syncing tab window to disable automatic syncing with all iphones and ipods.
Check the box and click ok.
Now connect the iphone and go to the photos tab when the iphone shows in itunes.
Set the iphone to sync only pictures from that empty new folder you created.
This will take off any pictures that you previously synced to the iphone.
Once the sync is complete, disconnect the iphone and confirm that all pictures (except camera roll) are removed from the iphone.
Now, start copying and pasting a few pictures into that new folder and sync the iphone until you get the same issue.
Once the issue comes up again, then something in the last group of pictures you added to the iphone might be corrupted.
Hope this helps.

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).

If I move my iTunes library, do I have to move my Photos folder too in order to sync photos through iTunes?

Sync Photos in iTunes selects 0 photos

I just upgraded to photoshop elements 11. When I attempt to sync photos in iTunes (to synch with my iPhone), Photoshop Elements appears in the drop down and when I select it, it finds all the "albums" in the catalog. However, when I select an album to sync, iTunes indicates 0 photos are available in the album.
I'm running photoshop elements 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12, Windows 8 Pro.
Any thoughts?
Oh, and if I try to sync "all photos and albums" it still reports that there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've tried to make new albums, which iTunes "sees" the names, but there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've also tried to sync with a folder (file system) which works just fine.
Any thoughts?

I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S. Something I have done many times before.
Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync. I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks.

This may help you

IPod Classic won't sync and crashes iTunes. Suggestions?

Hi, hopefully someone can help me!
I have a 80GB iPod classic for 3/4 years, never had any syncing issues until now that weren't fixable by a reset.
However a few days ago I was at my parents' house and charged my iPod using their computer. The first time there was the standard message "This iPod is synced with another library" etc etc but subsequently it crashed iTunes. It was recognised by the computer as a portable media device, all the normal folders were there etc.
Now that I'm with my regular laptop, I'm having the same issues but have realised that the iPod won't sync. It crashes iTunes when it's connected and when I disconnect the iPod, should iTunes works but it displays the message: "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found"
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried updated my iTunes software and resetting the iPod (pushing menu and centre), but neither has had an effect.
Edit: I should add that since charging the iPod on the other computer, I have also had issues with the click wheel, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks in advance!

Can no longer sync photos via itunes

iTunes has quit syncing photos to my devices (iPad, iPhone). First I noticed that some photos were not synced by comparing to original folder contents. I tried removing all photos by deselecting the Sync Photos option and deleting the iTunes Photo Cache. Now when I attempt to sync, I immediately receive an error "xx items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information". Where is this information stored and how do I fix this issue?

For: itunes 10.6.1.7 (on Win 7), iphone 3gs 5.1 (9B176)
I am having a similar issue but on different hardware. I attempt to sync photos but it only does about half of them. I receive the "X items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information."
- iTunes does not provide more information that I can find.
- I deselected the sync of photos.
- I restored my Iphone.
- I deleted the "Ipod photo cache" folder.
- Syncing the restored phone removed the photos on my Iphone successfully.
- Syncing the photos again gives the above message.
What am I doing wrong?
Why does iTunes promise me more information?

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.

Syncing photos from iTunes to my iPod Classic and iPhone

Hi, here is the issue....when im syncing my iPod and iPhone, everything syncs over except my photos. Under the photos tab the box is checked and the folder is chosen on what I want to sync, but iTunes is not sending them. I didn't have this problem originally and the photos were syncing to my iPod just fine. When I upgraded my iTunes, now the photos are missing on my iPod and they will not sync to the new iPhone (which I love!!) Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to sync?
Does any media now sync to the iPod
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

That might be a damaged iPod photo cache, Kid.
If you delete your photo cache as per the following document, are you able to get a proper photo sync?

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.
