Syncing photos to iPad

Having updated iTunes on my PC I can no longer sync  my iPad2.
Message " A required iTunes component  is not installed. Please reinstall iTunes (-42404)"
Reinstalling has not changed the position.
iTunes will play music but it will not move photos from my PC to my iPad, like it did before I upgraded
It begins "step1 of 4" but eventually closes saying that syncing could't start..
Software is Windows7, iTunes 10.6.1, iPad IOS 5.1.1
Any suggestions please?

under the Photos tab
there should be a checkbox called Sync Photos from
and a box under it with radiobuttons called All folders and selected folders
this is where you control it

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Can't sync photos between iPad and Mac OS X since updates

    Just updated OS X and iTunes, now got message that "iTunes will no longer sync photos to iPad" - sounds like Apple is trying to force me to pay for iCloud photo sharing. Any way to avoid that? I loved the previous easy sync approach.

    Have a look at this:

  • 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.

  • 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 ...

  • ONLY sync photos from iPad to iMac folder; automatically how?

    I have 50 GB of pictures in iPhoto on my iMac (10.8.4) along with an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3.
    I would like new pics from the iPhone and iPad to be automatically downloaded into the folder I have set up to get pics from those devices "iPod Photos"
    How do I do this?
    Alternatively, I would like the folder "iPod Photos" to stay sync'ed both ways but only with iPhone and iPad.
    I do not want my fat pics being sent via my 3G Vodafone account to iCloud etc while I am out and about - ONLY via WiFi when I am home.
    Is there a way to set this up?

  • Cannot sync photos to Ipad because Iphoto library cannot be found ?

    Hi
    I have the problem that when I try and sync my Ipad it is coming up with message
    "Itunes cannot sync photos to the Ipad "xxx Ipad" because the Iphoto library cannot be found"
    It used to sync and now it doesnt…any help please?

    Hi Joe,
    Follow the instructions here to delete the photo cache.
    iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
    Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Now try syncing.

  • Trouble syncing photos onto iPad and need help

    I recently purchased an iPad for a family member for Christmas and it had been working fine until last night. When they attempted to add another photo album to the already existing ones on the iPad, itunes ended the sync, when it says "syncing photos," saying "the required file could not be found" and took of all of the photos that were on the iPad. The photos are stored in the main 'Pictures' gallery in folders where it normally syncs fine; however we do not know how to fix this or get the photos back on. There is plenty of room left on the iPad to store the photos, we have updated the iPad and itunes, and it always works when we sync our iPods.
    Any help would be much appreciated; thank-you!

    Hey AlanaRama:
    It could be that one of the photos that you are trying to sync is corrupted (or something).
    Try dividing the photos in half and try to sync each half to see if that helps to find the problem photo.
    This may help also:

  • Syncing photos on iPad without deleting current photos

    If you sync photos from your pc to iPad using iTunes are all the photos on the iPad deleted if not on the pc?

    The photos that you last synced to the iPad will be replaced by your new selection - non-synced photos (i.e. those taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera conenction kit or sawsved from emails/websites) will not be affected, and nor will the photos on your compter.
    Synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed be not including them in the next photo sync.

  • Syncing photos to iPad—iPhoto or Aperture?

    When syncing photos from a computer to an iPad, is the choice between iPhoto or Aperture and either/or choice? Clearly only one can be done at a time, but suppose I sync with iPhoto once and next time with Aperture? I would try it and see what happens, but if the result is I lose the 100+ photos already on my iPad from iPhoto, it would be a real pain to go through them all over again to resync them.
    If the answer is that it's an either/or choice, I suppose I can export what I want from Aperture to iPhoto. Does anyone have a more elegant solution so that I don't have to take up space putting one image in two different libraries just to have that image on my iPad?
    Thanks!
    Ben
    Message was edited by: CSTRabbi, who typed "photos from Aperture" instead of "photos from iPhoto."

    I bit the bullet and just tried it. It's an either/or. Syncing to Aperture wiped out my previous stuff from iPhoto. The worst of all is that it was a wireless sync and resulted in my Aperture albums and movie names appearing on my iPad, but the albums were empty and the actual movies are not there either.
    I've been trying to find out if these files need to be synced with a cable. but with the number of questions on the iPad forum within hours you're down to page 3 or so with no answers.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • 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 from ipad 3 to new pc

    I recently bought a new computer and I am trying to sync my ipad to it. It sync'ed and the ipad has been backed up, but for some reasons its not syncing my new photos on it. I keep getting a message asking me if I want to " The ipad is synced with another itunes library and if i want to erase this ipad and sync with this library." I am worried that if i press "erase and sync" that I will delete all of my pics and I have some very important pics that I cant lose on their. When I hit cancel, it syncs the ipad, but doesnt sync my photos.
    Help please!
    Christy

    What you are saying does not make any sense at all to me. If you already synced with the computer all of your iPad content would be in iTunes and you would not be getting the "erase" message. You are not explaining everything or you are misunderstanding something about the process.
    How do you know that you successfully synced with this iTunes library? It can't be syncing the iPad of you hit cancel. Furthermore, you can't sync photos into iTunes, you have to import them onto your computer - in Windows I think you use the Camera Wizard or whatever its called in Windows.
    This is want you should do if you want to sync with a new computer. This was written for the iPhone, but works the same way for the iPad.
