Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one.

  • I am having trouble syncing ALL my music to my laptop (PC)

    I received a PC laptop for Christmas this year, and I wanted to make this computer my computer for my itunes and iphone. Previously, all of my iTunes was done through the desktop computer I successfully syncned all of the PURCHASED music, that was saved to the iCloud. My issue is that I can't seem to get my uploaded music (from CDs) that was on the desktop computer onto the new (PC) laptop. I've downloaded the most recent iTunes download, plugged it in, and tried just about everything I can think of. iTunes DOES recognize my iPhone by name, and everything else seems very normal, except for the fact that some of my music (the CDs) isn't there.
    Thank you for whatever help you can provide!
    Merry Christmas!

    P.S. I do apologize if I put this under the wrong section, as it involves several devices and Apple products and programs, so I wasn't quite sure which one to put it under. Thanks again!

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What "trouble" are you having?

  • I just got a new computer and im having trouble syncing all my stuff onto my computer. how can i authorize it?

    i recently just got a new computer. im trying to sync all my music into my itunes but for some reason its not working. it says my computer is not authorized. i have no idea what to do can someone help me?

    If you're using iTunes 11 on Windows, press the Alt and S keys. Otherwise, click on Store at the top of the iTunes application window(Windows) or the top of the computer's screen(Mac OS X).

  • How can I sync all my music but a certain playlist?

    Is there any way i can make my itunes sync all my music to my ipod except a certain playlist? For example, i have about 30 or so Christmas songs that i'd rather not have come on randomly when i leave my ipod plugged in and on shuffle. I realize I can make it sync certain playlists but that would mean I would have to add all my other music into a playlist and sync from there. It seems like that would be a hassle to add each song one by one into a playlist. Any suggestions? Thanks-

    Create a smart playlist called iPod Music matching all the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Xmas (or Exclude or whatever you want to call the other playlist). Sync with the new playlist.

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Itune do not sync all my music on my iPhone 4

    I Sync all my music library on my iPhone4 and iPad. iTunes tell me that I have 2195 songs to Sync. On my iPad, all the songs is their.
    But on my iPhone, he only Sync 2046 songs (the size used on my iPad versus my iPhone confirm that I have song missing 0.7 GB missing).
    I still have 4.8 GB Free on my iPhone, this is not a memory problem.
    I have removed all my music on my iPhone, and he is syncing the same amount of music.
    If is their a reason that the iPhone will Sync less song?

    and interestingly: This solution does not work:
    /t5/Music/Ovi-Player-indexing-files-from-folders-it-s-not-allowed-to/m-p/595905/highlight/true#M1346...
    I removed the "my music" folder, but still I have all songs from this folder in OVI Music.
    I want to completely get rid of all indexed music, and only have OVI watch a specific folder...

    I there a way to sync all my music from iTunes on my different computers including my work computer? I have all the computers authorized but when I buy a new somg and download it, it does not show up on my work computer when I start iTunes.

    Hello mchughes,
    Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are wanting your iTunes Store purchases to automatically appear on all your authorized devices. Automatic Downloads is a feature that can be turned on or off in the preferences of iTunes on a computer, and in the Settings of an iOS device. This article will help you get that turned on:
    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
    Also if you have tv shows or movies you buy and want to see on all the devices but not necessarily download them you can configure iTunes to show your iTunes purchases for streaming or downloading when you want with this article:

    Yes.  You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
