Taking hours to sync some photos to my iphone 4.

Im trying to sync some photos to my iphone 4. i left it running for hours while i went to sleep, when i woke up it was still synching.
i restored my phone and i tried to just sync a folder of 15 photos and that took 30min.
Please advise

They are probably damaged by your description of their behavior. There is probably nothing you can do other than to try using a paid third-party app to see if you can recover them, and even then there is no guarantee it will work.

  • Is there any way to selectively sync some photos to iPad

    Is there any way to selectively sync some photos to iPad & iPhone using Photo?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes via cable (or correctly set WiFi sync options), select your device, select the Photos tab, then choose what you want to sync.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • I recently syncs some photos from my PC to my Iphone 4. When I press on one of the new pictures a picture of one of my old pictures shows up. How can I fix it??      iPhone4.  Just updated

    You do NOT have duplicates.  This is how Apple handles photos.
    Just as a song is in your Itunes Library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the album.

  • Can't Sync some photo's

    Hi all,
    This is my first post so be gentle. I am having a problem syncing some photo's to my iPhone. It seemed to have started recently. I like to add Images that I am editing to show people work in progress. When I try to sync my photos I get a message "Some of your photo's were not copied to the iPhone because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone". These are images that are no different than any other image I've been able to sync in the past. A secondary issue arises from when I try to get them on to the phone via e-Mail. The image in the e-Mail displays fine but when saved to the image gallery they just fall apart.
    I am using Version 2.2.1 of the OS on a 2nd Generation iPhone. It seems like one of the last updates caused it but I can't be sure.Anybody have any idea what's going on?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Have you just updated to IOS6? If so I had a similar issue, but it was also messing up the pictures. Their thumbnails looked bad and many were blank when opened.
    Here'w what helped me:
    I deleted the "ipod photo cache" directory on the machine I sync from. This allowed my pictures to sync better (they were all messed up after each sync before I did that step).
    I then noticed that even though I had the include video checkbox selected my videos did not sync. I unchecked it then did a sync followed by checking it and doing a sync then it did get all my videos too,
    Instead of deleting the ipod photo cache directory you could rename it just to be safe and keep it around
    hope that helps

  • I spent more than 18 hours to sync 5000 photos (about 20 GB) from my PC to new iPad... Whether it was too long?

    I spent more than 18 hours to sync 5000 photos (about 20 GB) from my PC to new iPad... Whether it was too long?

    First of all, did they all sync?  Are they all there and they look alright?
    Depending on how they were shot, the sync re-optimizes each one for the iPad display.  If you shoot in RAW or have a very high resolution camera, that process can be pretty slow (also depends on how old & how fast your computer is as it is the machine doing the rendering of the images).
    As long as it worked, I'd say you are fine.  Enjoy the new iPad.

  • HT1349 I have no photo tab on itunes on my iphone and I want to sync some photos from my pc

    I have no photo tab on itunes on my iphone and I want to sync some photos from PC.  HELP

    You need to plug your phone to your pc and then in itunes hit the photo tab and then sync the picture you want from your PC.  
    You can't do that process via the phone itunes.

  • I've transferred. Some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app ''simple transfer'' but I can't find the option to delete those photos from iPhone, if any body knows let me know please??

    I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.

    I have a suggestion, noted below,  but I'd like a little more information please.  Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone?  If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
    I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad.  I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad.  The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame.  To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want.  After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way.  I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
    A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync.  It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper.  It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do.  After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them.  There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
    I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone.  I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to sync all photos to iPad/iPhone

    I'm trying to sync some photos but iTunes keeps telling me that selected photos cannot be copied to either my iPad or my iPhone. These photos display fine in iPhoto, and some of them were taken on the iPhone and then effects added with apps afterwards. The pop up gives me no more information as to why they cannot be copied. Anybody got any ideas?

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

  • A friend of mine was recently in an accident and we need to delete some photos from her iPhone's "Photo Stream From my Computer" album, but cannot figure out a way to do it (there's no delete button). Help?

    A friend of mine was recently in an accident and we need to delete some photos from her iPhone's "Photo Stream From my Computer" album, but cannot figure out a way to do it (there's no delete button). Help?

    Sounds like it was synced from her computer using iTunes.  Connect the phone to her computer, open iTunes, click on the name of her phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and see if this folder is checked.  If so, unchecking it and syncing will remove them all, or deleting/moving the photos from the folder on her computer and syncing will remove the deleted/moved photos.

  • I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution.  How do I fix this?

    I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution.  First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll.  They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem.  What am I doing wrong?  Is this a bad camera?  HELP please!  Thank you!

    My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time.  I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution.  Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed?  I'm still learning to use it.  All my other photos are of normal resolution.  Does this make any sense to anyone?
    Please help!

  • HT4236 how do i sync my photos from my iphone to my laptop

    how do i sync my photos from my iphone to itunes or in my laptop..?

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then see this page -  on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    What photos?
    Photos synced to iphone from your computer are synced one way only. computer to iphone.
    Photos taken with iphone are not part of the sync process.  They should be imported regularly as you would with any digital camera
