Trouble transferring photos from iTunes to iPhone 3GS

When in iTunes, I'm able to go to the Photos tab to select the iPhoto album(s) I want to sync to my iPhone; however, after syncing, the photos are not actually on my iPhone. I've tried https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314, but that didn't correct the issue. Any idea how to successfully sync iPhoto photos to my iPhone?
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2, iTunes 9, and have an iPhone 3GS.
Thanks much for any insight.

iPhoto and Organizer work with images in two different ways. With iPhoto, your image files are embedded within the catalog. So the catalog file will get huge. With Organizer, your images are simply on your hard drive and the application just references them. When you are converting from iPhoto to Organizer, the images are being removed from the iPhoto catalog and placed on the hard drive for access. This is kind of like uncompressing a zip file. There could be some sort of problem with the iPhoto catalog file in the sector toward the end of your file list.
Here is some information about this iPhoto package file that stores you files: http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/30/where-iphoto-pictures-are-located/
Try following it's steps to access your files and then copy them to a new location. If you are able to complete this copying process, try importing the images into the Organizer from this new location. Depending on what you've done to organizer your images in iPhoto, you may lose some work following this method, but this is just a test to verify whether either step will work before looking at other avenues.

  • Trouble transfering songs from itunes onto iphone

    Hi, I got a used iphone off my friend and can't sync my songs/apps, etc from my itune library successfully (I had an ipod touch). When I plug it into my PC I get a pop-up on itunes asking if I want to 'transfer' or 'don't transfer' purchases. I don't want any of the songs from the ipod so I clicked 'don't transfer'. Then I go to 'file' and 'sync' and it says on the top info that it's syncing for a couple of seconds and then goes back to the apple logo. Do I need to authorise the computer through my friend's username and password? As far as I know he's still using the same details for his new upgrade iphone so I don't know if that would work?
    Cheers

    Just to start with a clean slate, you can Restore the iPhone using iTunes. Since you had an iPod Touch, you'll be given the option of using the backup of that device to set up the iPhone.

  • Having troubles transferring photos from my Iphone 4s to my computer

    I can't transfer photos/videos from my iphone 4s to my computer since the computer won't recognize the phone as I plug it in. I tried to install new drivers but only tells me that all my drivers are up to date. I cant recall having this problem until I switched to Windows 7. I also tried reading these forums and others for a solution but I have this far been unable to find one. Is there anyone else out there having this problem?
    I also seem to have exactly the same problem with transferring photos from my digital camera.

    Hello there Philipfromswe.!     Philipfromswe
    Thanks for replying to my question! You mentioned that it might be a problem with my computer, what do you mean by that? Is it the hardware, i.e loose cables and such or is it the software that you refering to?
    Great suggestion that I should use Dropbox to transfer my pictures. I already have Dropbox and I have used it to make copies. The problem is that I find the app troublesome to use and I much rather prefer that I can acess the photos as I did before.
    I will continue to try to find an solution to my connectivity problems but I appreaciate your advice!

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • Update on transferring photos from Droid to iPhone

    I'd like to share some information on transferring photos from an old Droid to iPhone 5, a problem I've wrestled with for the last few days.  Even though I got some good tips, and have learned that I'm not the only person with this particular problem, I still had no success making the transfer.  In desperation (thinking I'd get no help) I called 1-800-734-5870, the Motorola help line.  Was bumped up to "level 2" of problem-solving and was told that a possible solution might be to use a USB connector cord specifically made for Motorola phones (I'm not sure the one I've been using is that type).  The rep is sending me a courtesy cord to use to see if that will make a difference -- if no, t I'm supposed to call Motorola back.  My point is that the Motorola people were exceptionally nice, especially considering I'll no longer be using their phone.  I did not get this type of support from the Apple help line.  Will send an update if this simple "cord fix" works!

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Roaminggnome.  I have to say, though, that the answer, while not unexpected, is disappointing.  The iPhone is, like the iPad, a data storage device as well as a cellular phone.  One can store and retrieve music, contacts, documents, presentations in Keynote, videos, podcasts, and a host of things on it.  And one can also store photos, which can be transferred from a digital camera or media card via a computer or iCloud.  So why, one has to wonder, would Apple not provide an alternative, and more direct, way to upload pictures from a camera without requiring the intermediary of a computer, as it does with the iPad?  But I guess that's what we're stuck with.  Puzzling, for a company as innovative as Apple.  Surely they know that folks are asking these questions.

  • Transfering music from iTunes to iPhone

    I'm having trouble moving music from iTunes to my iPhone. I have looked for answers everywhere, and it all says to create a playlist and select the playlist to transfer. However, my iTunes won't let me do that. It will only let me sync everything, replacing all my music on my iPhone. Help!

    However, my iTunes won't let me do that.
    It won't let or you don't know how to do it?
    Create a playlist and add the songs you want on your iPhone.
    Plug in the iPhone and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Select *Selected playlists* in the drop down box and tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPhone.

  • Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

    Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
    When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
    Thank you!!!

    I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
    To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
    Change it so no photos are synced.
    Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
    Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

  • How to transfer photos from PC to iPhone 3gs ?

    how to transfer photos fromPC to iphone using iTunes ?

    When you've connected the iPhone to your computer and selected it on the left-hand side of iTunes, one of the tabs on the right-hand side should be Photos (in the same way that you get tabs for syncing other content) - if you select that you should be able to select where you want to sync photos from e.g. which folder(s) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You need to sync all the photos that you want on the phone together in one go, as only the most recent sync remains on the phone - not including the photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the phone.

  • Problem Transfering Photos from PC to iPhone 4 with version 5.1.1

    I can't transfer multiple Folders containing photos from my PC to my iPhone.  My digital photos on my PC are simply in Folders as JPEG files.  When I try to transfer the Folders in iTunes I can only select the "All Folders" option.  The "Selected Folders" option is greyed out.  Once I have synced my iPhone this selected folder with photos shows up on my iPhone (both in my Photo Library and in a separate folder named the same as it was copied). 
    Now, when I try to transfer/sync another Folder to my iPhone the new Folder and photos replace the original Folder and photos if the new folder has more photos.  If the new folder has less photos, then the photos in the original folder are reduced to the number of photos in the new folder, and the new photos are not copied over.  Very weird...Please help.

    Not much help here, but you can help yourself.
    1. Create one folder on your desktop.
    2. Copy pictures that you want to have on your iPhone and paste in that one folder.
    3 Uncheck box "sync photos" and hit apply
    4.Check box "sync photos" and hit apply one time and if necessary, hit sync
    Make sure you allow time to complete.

  • Trouble getting photos from iphoto to iPhone

    A few months back I had updated my iphone to 4.3.2 (somewhere around there) and it began transferring only a very small subset of the photos from photo to my phone.  After the sync, it would say something to the effect of "Image "DSC_00112" could not be transfered to the iPhone".  However, when I opened open photos on the iphone, only about 450 photos of my 3100 photo library were on the phone.  I read some details in the past that there were others with this problem but that upgrading solved the problem.  Today I upgraded to iOS 5 hoping the problem would resolve.  Now when I choose to sync all photos, it doesn't even give me a dialogue box anymore, but still only a small subset of the photos in my photo library cross over to my iphone.... I don't really know why the phone is not allowing most of my photos to transfer, and I have no notion of how to fix it.  Have tried multiple fixes, including manually selecting albums to transfer, repairing iphoto permissions, etc.  Any help or knowledge on the subject would be greatly apprecaited.
    Thanks,
    Dane

    Try clearing your iPhoto cache on your Mac.
