Syncing photos to ipad2

I am trying to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 4.3.5, but get a fault window stating that "the necessary directory does not exists" (translated from Danish). I have redone everything on the iPad from scratch. The software on my iMac is the latest versions OSX 10.6.8, not Lion. Where is the problem? On the Mac or the IPad?
It did work before. I imported some photos from a email to iPhoto and then no syncing was possible. I have removed the photos again, but still no sync.

Then the issue is on the iPad.
    •    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    •    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    •    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

Problem syncing Photos with iPAD2

I have a strange problem. I am trying to sync a brand new iPAD2 with my Windows Vista PC. I have the latest version of iTunes installed. All my music syncs fine. But for some reason, only a small amount of my photos are syncing. All photos are in the "Pictures" directory, and this directory is configured to sync with my iPAD. Inside the Pictures directory are dozens of folders. Each folder contains only photos - all saved as jpg format. There are no sub-sub folders. For some reason, only 5 of roughly 50 folders are syncing. I did a test and created a brand new folder, then copied the contents of one of the non-syncing folders into this new folder. For some reason, the iPAD was now able to sync these items. Then I created another new folder, and copied all sub directories into this new folder. Then suddenly, the iPAD was able to sync everything. This isn't an ideal solution though because my photos are no longer segregated into Albums on the iPAD. Anyone know why this is happening, and how I can resolve it? I certainly don't want to have to recreate 80 folders!!! Thanks

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

When I sync photos to ipad2 my videos don't transfer?

How can I get my camera videos onto ipad2

With your device connected to your computer, in the Photos pane in iTunes, there is a checkbox to sync videos as well as photos. You want to check that box.

(re)Syncing photos between iPad2 and iTunes

I have more albums on my iPad2 than i really want to keep there. If i resync but only select specifc albums will any of the albums than I've not selected be deleted from my computer? They're accessed there via Picassa.

No - they will be quite safe on your PC.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

IPad2 not syncing photos or music

New iPad2 will not sync photos or music

Hello,
Take a look at the Apple support article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274, iPad: Basic troubleshooting. In particular the section "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad" might be useful as it leads to a Troubleshooting Assistant.

ITunes 10.5 fails to sync Aperture photos to iPad2 with iOS5

I have the latest iTunes (10.5), newest OS X (10.7.2) and updated Aperture (3.2). I was almost happy with my iPad2 64GB 3G with the 4.x firmware just a week ago, only now and then photos failed to sync, deselecting "sync photos" and that way removing pics from iPad2 allowed me to sync even newer pics back to iPad2. I almost felt "appleish". I am running 11" MBA with 256GB and keep my Aperture masters on an external drive.
Now iOS5 cripples my iPad2 as syncing photos messes up the whole sync process.
The iOS5 update failed the first time, surely for the overloaded servers. Second time the next day update went fine. But syncing photos failed. "Waiting for -something- to copy" (I am not using english as language) emerged time after time and I had to manually stop sync process or just shut down iTunes. I powered off iPad2. I took the USB cord off. I restarted Lion. I repaired Aperture permissions. I repaired HD permissions. I repaired Aperture Library. I trashed the Aperture "iPod cache". I again restored iPad2 to the bare basics without any apps, any photos, anything. Now I have the iOS5 working with just some apps. I tried to sync one smart photo folder at a time and got to eight totalling 20 000 pics and then the sync stalled again. Restored again and again took the iPad2 as a new device, now only four smart folders stalled the sync. No matter if I had my external drive connected or not.
This is crazy. Just like in the 1990's with a PC. Now I don't have any pics on my iPad2 and presenting pics was the number one reason for getting the whole thing.
I dare not to upgrade my iPhone 3GS should my phone get jammed the same way.
How can we get support?! This is not how Apple should be.

I have a fix (worked on my iPhone 3GS and iPad 1), but, since we're all having slightly different issues, I'm not super-confident that it will work for everybody.
I rebuilt my Aperture database, which did absolutely nothing. However, what it *did* do is finally let iTunes report accurately how many pictures it was *actually* syncing to my iPhone/iPad. Before, it claimed it was syncing all 17k of my photos, but in reality was only copying 9k - 11k. After the rebuild, however, iTunes showed that it would only be syncing 12k photos, and when looking at the counts next to the albums, I could see that in many albums it was only syncing 1 or 2 photos out of each whole album (of course, some albums copied in their entirety, and others were completely empty).
Since iTunes pulls Aperture's previews to copy images to iPhones and iPad, I deleted all of my Aperture library's previews, then re-updated all of them at "Fit within 1920px" size, which is the iPad's native preview image size....i.e. iTunes won't have to waste time "optimizing" photos if the Aperture previews are that size. Updating my entire library of previews took about 12 hours.
After trashing iPod Photo Cache yet again, I synced my iPad....but even though iTunes was now reporting the proper amount of images in my library (as well as each album), the actual sync only copied about 9k photos. Frustrated, I unchecked one random album that *hadn't* been copied, then synced again. Bizarrely, during that sync, another 6k photos transferred to my iPad....why, I have no idea. After the second sync, I re-checked my missing album and synced a third time....and this time, all of the missing photos copied.
I then imported some new images from my camera into Aperture and created a new album...this album synced to my iPad and iPhone with no problems whatsoever.
So, here are the steps, simplified:
1) Delete all previews from Aperture
2) Update all Aperture previews at 1920x size (I don't think the size matters, but it saves optimizing time during the iTunes sync)
3) Sync your iDevice with all of your desired photos/albums/events checked.
4) Sync again with one album unchecked.
5) Sync again with that album re-checked.
Note: iTunes has a history of this type of behavior. Previously, I've seen iTunes sync large libraries in batches...i.e. it will display "Copying x of 9000", then "Copying x of 3000" when copying 12k photos, for example. For some reason it's only syncing one batch at a time in 10.5. Good luck!

How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2? When I try, it asks the photos will replace the three apps I created

How can I sync photos from my computer to iPad2? When I try, it asks the photos replacing three apps I created.

You're welcome.
However, can you then organise your photos in i Pad into different categories so that it is easier to access? If that can be done , then can we keep them separately in i Pad so that it can not be deleted when we Sync next time around?
Already answered with my previous post, which is not by category but by photo albums or folders or photos.
Create a parent folder on your computer to store the folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPad only. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
To add another folder of photos to your iPad, place the folder of photos in the selected parent folder followed by a sync.
The named folder of photos in the parent folder will be transferred to your iPad as seperate albums or folders of photos.
When adding a new folder of photos to the selected parent folder to be transferred to your iPad followed by a sync, the existing folders of photos in the parent folder that are already available on your iPad will not be touched or removed with the next sync to transfer the new folder of photos to your iPad.

Trying to sync photos from PC to ipad2

but keep getting this message:
iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with iTunes??

How are you trying to sync them ? If you are trying to do them one or two at a time then you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including them in a subsequent sync is how you remove them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).
If you are getting an error message when trying to sync them (e.g. file could not be copied, file not found) then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Updated iPad2 to iOS5 - iTunes 10.5 crashes trying to sync photos

When tryung to sync my iPad, iTunes crashes upon getting about 1/3 of the way through the step of Analyzing the iPhoto Library. I am trying to sync 1 (one) Album from my iPhoto library. My versions are as follows - iPhoto 9.2, Mac OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5, my 64GBi Pad2 is running iOS 5 and has over 12 GB free space. My iMac has over 150 GB free space. I have repeatedly trashed the iPod Photo Cache in the iPhoto Library, to no avail. This has only been a problem since the latest updates came out on 12 October 2011. I would really like to have my latest travel photos with me when I go visiting next week. And no I'd rather not turn on Photo Stream, thank you. I am tempted to just let it keep attempting and crashing as sending the crash reports to Apple. Any other help is welcome.

More info on this issue. I have close to 9,000 photos in my iPhoto library. The iPad will sync photos from a designated folder outside of iPhoto. This leads me to beleive my iPhoto library structure is corrupt (although I can view all the photos in iPhoto without crashing) or some metadata to the library is bad. Either way when iTunes tries to analyze the iphoto library somewhere between 20% and 40% of the way through the process, it goes BOOM! I am trying to look for help on rebuilding the iphoto library and see it that helps, but haven't found anything so far.

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices. Any thoughts

Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices.
iTunes sync error at the photo sync step with an unknown error 1140.
I have restarted everything, unsynced & attempted re sync to no avail.
The photo sync screen only allows me to select the sync all option, the select specific events, albums etc . Choice is greyed out.
This is true for both my iPhone 4S and ipad2.

I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

Recently I am getting a message when I try to sync photos to my iPad from my PC in iTunes suggesting that photos already on the iPad will be removed if I sync. I don't want to remove existing photos. Any ideas?I

I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2. The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed. I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync. I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card). Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?

It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well.
