Syncing photos with my computer
When I sync photos from my computer to my phone it copies all the folders and their photos and it also creates a separate "photo library" with duplicates of all the photos. How can I stop this from happening?
Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos
Once you have activated the iPhone with a sim inserted
when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos?
Yes unless you transfer Photos off iOPS device to your PC/Mac

To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

I am having trouble syncing photos with lightroom mobile. Lightroom (on computer) tells me that it's syncing but nothing appears on my I pad. Any comments?
however when I try to sync my older ipod with it and upload some new music to it, Itunes keeps telling me that all the previous songs will be erased
Yes, that's correct. If you don't have the songs that are currently on your iPod also in your new iTunes installation, they will be erased from the iPod if you sync it. Best to start afresh by first transferring all the music on your iPod back to your new computer/iTunes library.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
Once all the music is safely back in your new iTunes library, you can sync your iPod as normal. -
Hello, My Iphone is full with photos as it has my Photo library on it, I guess from Syncing it with my computer... How do I remove the photo Library and just keep the photos I take on my phone on my phone? Hope that is clear....
Same way they got on your phone, through the iTunes sync process. With your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Photos" tab, deselect the albums/folders/photos you do not want on your phone. Hit the "Apply/Sync" button & they will be removed from your phone.

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

How to sync photos from your computer to the ipod touch without removing its photos
So I want to senda picture I have on my computer to my ipod touch 4g. I saw a video and I followed it, i used itunes, clicked the device then photos then i picked a folder and click sync but when i click Apply a bx pops up that says if I snyced these photos the photos already existing will be removed, is there a way to keep the photos on the ipod and just add the pictures from the compute?
Place both the old photos and the new photos in the same folder you sync photos with. Youcan have one level of subfolders in the one syncing folder.

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.
John JonesThe 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.

HT4236 Is there a way to sync photos from my computer onto my Ipod touch 'Camera Roll' album?
Everytime I sync photos from my computer onto my ipod they go into two different folders, and not the camera roll. I really want to have them in the camera roll and was wondering if there was a way to do so,
Thanks.
Georgia.There is, but I would avoid that method if I were you.
The Camera Roll (on an iPod Touch) is where photos taken on the iPod, screenshots taken on the iPod and also saved images are located.
Although other people may alternative suggestions, I regard the Camera Roll a temporary loctation, until the next Sync with iTunes. At that time, it is wise to move the pictures from the Camera Roll and put them somewhere on your computer. This means that when (rather than if) the iPod requires a Restore, you don't lose your pictures, since a Restore will remove all content from the iPod, and only put back onto the iPod what is on the computer.
For safety, I copy the Camera Roll pictures, into a folder which will then put them back onto the iPod in the Photo Library, and only once sucessfully copied, do I then delete them from my iPod' Camera Roll.
As for the two different folders...
You can only choose one folder on your computer to Sync with your iPod, named for instance, "Piccys" and in there are (for example) general photos. However, also in that folder, you can have sub-folders, named for instance "Family" which have only photos of the family. Once the folder "Piccys" is Synced with your iPod, when you look in the Photos App on the iPod, you will see a list of sections;
Photo Library
Family
The "Photo Library section" will have all the photos, both from the "Piccys folder" and the "Family folder" listed as one list. However, if you look in the "Family section", you will see only the photos in the "Family folder".
So in your situation, I suggest that you create a sub-folder in your chosen "Sync folder" and place all the Camera roll pictures in that. What you certainly should not be doing is leaving photos in the Camera Roll or trying to put other pictures into the Camera Roll. That will be a recipe for disaster.
By the way, in my experience, the more pictures in the Camera roll, the slower a Sync becomes. -
How to sync photo with flickr ?
I used to sync my photos between iphoto and flickr, and I can't find a way to sync from "photos" with flickr.
Any solutions ?
Thanks,
DavidSounds like in order to get those on the computer you might need to use an APP or 3rd party software to get them to the computer.
if you sync photos with itunes it will take them off and delete them because the photos are not on that computer anymore -
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. -
I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .
I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2). -
I downloaded the iOs 7, after went to sync it with my computer but it said I needed to update my iTunes, so I went to download the 11.1 and it said I needed a newer version? 10.6 (or something like that)
And so now I can't sync my phone...
Any suggestions? Besides throwing my computer out!! haha
My macbook is older.. bought in.. 2009. So I realize things may not work exactly the same.Yeah really!
One thing depends upon the other then nothing works or is no longer compatible.
I don't blame ya for wantin' to throw your computer out! Ha-Ha! -
