Trying to sync photos????

I can't sync & download any photos from my computer to my iPod when I try to I get an error message that says unable to update iPod, can't read from or write to disk. I was able to download a video from the istore and play it on my iPod, but any photos or videos on my PC won't download to my iPod. (is it because I don't have Adobe photoshop?) Help!!!!

I have a similar problem and haven't yet been able to import photos. Whenever I try to synch photos from a selected folder, I get the following error message... "The iPod <name> cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found." That's all it says, not very helpful. I'd appreciate any help from anyone out there who's had the same issue.
Thanks, Canuckiwi

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

Error -50 when trying to sync photos

we have a 3 gen red nano that is just over 1 year old. When trying to sync photos, we get a message that the idod can't be synced. An unknown error (-50) occurred. Can anyone please help??

I am having the same problem, but I didn't install Lion yet. I have iTunes 1.4 (80) though, I suspect it started happening after updating to it. (I am still running Snow Leopard because one of the 3rd party audio drivers I need for my work has to be updated for Lion first).
I am syncing to my iPhone 4 to my Aperture 3 library. I haven't had this issue before. It syncs everything else but when iTunes goes from "Analyzing Photos" to "Optimizing Photos" in the sync process it reports that it is unable to sync because of an "unknown error (-50)"
To resolve the problem, I tried the following:
I repaired my Aperture library database (using Option+Command when launching Aperture 3).
I deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" folder inside my Aperture library. It had to resync all my photos again, this time it worked when re-syncing the entire library, but the next sync it had the same error again.
Updated my iOS to the latest version.
Repaired Disk Permissions on my Mac.
I changed USB cables and ports (using only ports directly on my Mac Pro).
Tried syncing with only iTunes running.
Doing all the above made no difference, I am still getting the error message and it won't sync new photos back to my iPhone 4 now. It is very frustrating.

When trying to sync photos, error -39

When my son tries to sync photos to his ipod nano 3rd generation he gets the following error:"The Ipod 'Michael's Ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39).
What is wrong?
What could have caused it?
How can I fix it?
Thanks,
Craig

It might be worth checking to see if the iPod photo cache has been corrupted. Try deleting the photo cache, as per:
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?

iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?
iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,
GB

Error message while trying to sync photos

While trying to sync my photos to my new iPod Classic (80G), I get an error message that says "Some of your photos were not copied to the iPod because they can not be displayed on your iPod." In reality, NONE of my photos were copied. They're JPEG (about 1M each). HELP!!

I am a new Apple/ipad user and trying to sync photos from pc to ipad. Picture moved to ipad in one giant folder instead of the many specific folders that are on my pc. How do I sync multipule folders so that the photos show up in seperate folders on my

I am a new apple/ipad user and trying to transfer photos to my new ipad2 from my windows pc using itunes. The pictures all transfered to my ipad in one very large folder (My Pictures) on the ipad2 instead of the multipule folders that were on my pc. Do I have to re sort all of them into folders on the ipad2 or is it possible to sync the seperate folders to the ipad2?

Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

ITunes crashes when trying to sync photos, I have called Apple suport and I have erased and reloaded itunes, seemed to work better but then crashed again in the middle of sync photos saying ' IPAD cannot be synchronized. The file required cannot be found'

This seems to be a common problem...can anyone help?

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Windows crashes when trying to sync photos

I'm a new Nano user and I finally got iTunes through my firewall, playing music, and synching with my Nano. I can load my songs and make playlists. So far, so good.
Today I've been trying to sync up to load pictures, but every time I do, Windows crashes. I've tried searching the support articles and couldn't find this issue before. I've been trying to sync it to a particular file with a select group of pictures: I've tried using different file and subfile locations and I've tried changing the size or number of the photos....but it still happens. Every time my Nano syncs with iTunes to include a photo sync, all of Windows crashes.
Is there something about the photo files (jpeg) that I should know or change? They're all about 300K and all have text names (not digits or symbols).
Any help appreciated.

hi Pegasus!
gosh, but this is a weird complex of symptoms that you're getting. i've actually seen then all before individually, just not in a clump together like this.
this will be a long post. i'm going to start with troubleshooting directly related with with the blue screen, and then after that i'll dwell on the itunes-launch-failures/photosyncing-relation angles.
0x0000001 (0x0000008, 0x0000008, 0x0000000, 0xBFF55036)
Driver IRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL
that can be a fiddly one to troubleshoot. i haven't seen any common denominators in itunes/ipod contexts with it.
(1) let's try to get the malware possibilities off the table. (i'm usually more worried about that with a 0x0000050, but you're getting a weird bunch of symptoms.) download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer them, run some online scans as well. (they can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
(2) have a check through your Device Manager (right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click "Device Manager") to check to see if there are any warning/alert messages showing up next to any of your Devices.
(3) have a look through the MS Knowledge base to see if you can find any reported causes of the IRQL_... that look like they might be relevant to your box. sorry, there's a whole bunch of different things to sift through over there:
search on Driver IRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL
(4) let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence to the Apple engineers for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.
itunes-not-launching/photosyncing
security software on the PC can be implicated with both of these ... i just haven't seen it associated with both sorts of symptoms at the same time.
Norton Internet Security 2005 is a common cause of error-message-free itunes launch failures, and i have seen it implicated in some odd syncing problems (just not with a BSOD on photosync.)
McAfee is sometimes implicated with odd problems with photosyncing (but not typically with the itunes error-message-free launch failures).
so let's try an experiment. if you switch your security software off prior to an attempt at a photosync, do you still get the blue screen?
love, b

Trying to sync photos from PC to ipad2

but keep getting this message:
iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with iTunes??

How are you trying to sync them ? If you are trying to do them one or two at a time then you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including them in a subsequent sync is how you remove them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).
If you are getting an error message when trying to sync them (e.g. file could not be copied, file not found) then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Updated iPad2 to iOS5 - iTunes 10.5 crashes trying to sync photos

When tryung to sync my iPad, iTunes crashes upon getting about 1/3 of the way through the step of Analyzing the iPhoto Library. I am trying to sync 1 (one) Album from my iPhoto library. My versions are as follows - iPhoto 9.2, Mac OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5, my 64GBi Pad2 is running iOS 5 and has over 12 GB free space. My iMac has over 150 GB free space. I have repeatedly trashed the iPod Photo Cache in the iPhoto Library, to no avail. This has only been a problem since the latest updates came out on 12 October 2011. I would really like to have my latest travel photos with me when I go visiting next week. And no I'd rather not turn on Photo Stream, thank you. I am tempted to just let it keep attempting and crashing as sending the crash reports to Apple. Any other help is welcome.

More info on this issue. I have close to 9,000 photos in my iPhoto library. The iPad will sync photos from a designated folder outside of iPhoto. This leads me to beleive my iPhoto library structure is corrupt (although I can view all the photos in iPhoto without crashing) or some metadata to the library is bad. Either way when iTunes tries to analyze the iphoto library somewhere between 20% and 40% of the way through the process, it goes BOOM! I am trying to look for help on rebuilding the iphoto library and see it that helps, but haven't found anything so far.

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

When trying to sync photos from my PC only a few of the photos end up on my ipad. How can I fix this?

I am having trouble syncing photos from my PC, only a few end up on my ipad. Does anyone know how to manage this?

Are you sure that you have selected the photos to sync to the iPad? You must include all of your photos in one main syncing folder in each subsequent sync as well or the previously synced photos will be erased.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the photos folder that you want to use in the Sync Photos From heading
Click on any or all of the sub folders within that main folder that you want to sync to the iPad
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Ipod classic freezes when trying to sync photos

Hi
My Ipod classic has started to freeze every time I try to sync with my PC when adding new photos.
This is something I have done many times before without any problems but as of yesterday, every time I try it just stops dead.
As I type this message, my ipod screen just says connected and the itunes screen says syncing ipod do not disconnect but it's been like this for 2 hours now with nothing to show for it.
Syncing of music and videos works fine I hasten to add.
Not sure if it's relevant but yesterday I updated itunes to 7.7.1.11
Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved
Mark

Hello everyone. I'm new to Apple forums and don't know how to start a new thread! My problem is this: All my photos are on a Seagate External Hard Drive (there are about 3,500 of them) and I want to transfer them to my iPod. I've told iTunes where to find the photos on the EHD, but it just won't load them. I've got the Do not Disconnect message up, and have done for several hours - but no photos. I then tried loading a few hundred photos that I happened to have on the C drive, and that went fine and they loaded no problem. Why can't it load the ones on the EHD? I did it once before and it was fine, so I'm pretty certain I'm not being thick!
Any advice gratefully received. I don't really want to put all my pics back on the C drive as I haven't got that much room left - hence the need for the EHD!
Thanks in advance...
