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.

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:

Problems syncing photos to iPad and AppleTV

Hi there,
I have problems where only about half my photos ever show up on the Apple TV or get synced to my iPad.
Before you say, "Click Update Previews" I should point out that yes, I know this will fix it - but why should my Aperture library be swelled to a gigantic size just to sync the photos? I could understand this if I was shooting RAW all the time, but I am not. I am shooting JPEG - so why should I need to make another JPEG to erm .. be able to view a JPEG?! This seems like utter insanity to me.
What is curious is why SOME of the JPEG photos don't seem to need to build previews to be happily viewed on other devices. One theory I was working on was that Landscape orientation ones didn't need a preview, but portrait ones did - but even that seems to be invalidated by some of the photos that do sync. Can anyone offer any insight?
Thanks,
Tony

If you have edited your image in any way, you will need to render the edited image to be able to view it, since it will be different from the original.

Trouble syncing photos with PSE7 (and the folder issue)

Here's a brief history on what I've done up to now:
I've had Photoshop Elements 7 installed for a while and I installed the PSE8 trial over top of it. I converted the catalog, and everything sync-wise was fine. After it exprired last night, however, I uninstalled it, and tried to revert back to PSE7. I added some photos to the catalog...
And there's where my troubles started. When I went back into iTunes to sync with PSE, it showed all of the albums I have previously made in PSE8, even though I uninstalled it. I managed to track down where the PSE8 copy of the catalog from where it was hiding, and deleted it.
Now, it doesn't even pick up any catalog anymore. Worse, when I sync my photos with PSE, it give me "iPod "" cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.". It does NOT give me this message when I sync with custom folders, but I strongly prefer to NOT do it that way and to do so with PSE7 instead.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarted computer, nothing helps.
Does anyone know of a fix so that iTunes sees my catalog again? (Yes, I even deleted all instances of "iPod Photo Cache" from my computer too. Didn't help.)

Nevermind, seems I posted this in the wrong place.

Syncing photos on ipad and computer

Everytime I sync my computer and ipad I get multiple copies of the photos. I end up removing them individually from the computer and ipad. Is there an easier way?

Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync/transfer process is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPad.
Photos in your iPad's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes and has nothing to do with the iTunes sync process.
Depending on what you are using for the photo import on your computer, it should include an option to delete the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

No computer just iPad and need help watching movies on apple tv

My computer crashed while back and I only use an iPad. Just hooked up apple tv and rented a movie and it looks like you need to watch the movie from your iTunes. Is there anyway to use apple tv so it recognizes your iTunes from your iPad or iPhone for that matter?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That article remains valid, the iPad 1 can AirPlay too, it just can't mirror.
Also, you don't need to watch rented movies from iTunes on your iPad, you can rent and download them straight to your Apple TV.

I bot a ipad and need help to find out how to take it off some ones find myiphone i thougth it was reset and it keeps saying that did i get jipped or is there a way to fix it i dont know the person who sold it to me i got it off CL

You got ripped. If the previous owner does not sign the device out from their Apple ID then you now own a brick.
Sorry

I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.

=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

What is the procedure for verifying that my photos, after syncing up my iPad and my iMac, actually are in iTunes?

iTunes manages your photos between the iPad and iPhoto on the iMac. If you have things set up correctly, then the photos will go to iPhoto for safe keeping and later use.

I need to know if the sync related to ipad and backup to itunes
