Unable to sync full 'Photos' album in iTunes

Since updating to OSX 10.10.3, I am no longer able to fully sync my albums in Photos to my iPhone 6 via iTunes (12.1.2.27)
I have an album in Photos titled iPhone 3G/4. It contains all of the photos I shot on my previous iphones. The album totals 7,522 (about 9GB of photos) items in all.
When I sync to my iPhone in iTunes, and choose sync only selected albums in Photos, and choose this album (this is the only album I am selecting), only 1,118 photos sync to my phone. I have a 128GB iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3. I have used 49.3GB, and have 65GB free to use.
I have tried the following solves with no success
deleted the iPod Photo cache in the Photos library
deleted all other albums in Photos so that the only album/collection is the iphotos 3G/4 photo
unsyncing and re-synced my phone several times
Can anyone recommend anything else to get these photos back on my phone? My hope is the solution does not involve wiping my phone and setting up as new. I have several apps on my phone with data that I cannot bear to lose, and since there is no way to add apps back to your phone with data a la carte, I am stuck. I never had issues with this type of sync in iPhoto, this is a problem that seems to be unique to Photos.

Ah, I found the bug.
I had to go in and manually change the sync options for the Nano under the Devices > Movies tab.

Sync multiple Photo Albums

Hi... I can't seem to sync multiple photo albums. If I try to add more it just over rides the previous one--- I can only have one at a time. I don't have either Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album on my PC. I only have the full Photoshop. Anyone able to help out there.... ?

Hi,
I'm also having the same problem and as a keen photo hobbyist, I have my photo folders arranged by year and within each year folder I have between 20-40 sub folders, with images totaling over 80 Gb in size.
With your solution, I'll have to manually create a new folder called iPod Photos and copy the folders I want in iPod into that folder and sync the iPod Photos in iTunes.
This is a crazy solution. I don't want to duplicate another 20Gb or so of images in a separate folder just so I could sync with iTunes. Why can't iTunes sync multiple folders like other 3d party iPod apps can?

How do you sync multiple photo albums?
I have "Sync Photos from" clicked. But the "selected folders" remains greyed out. I have too many photo folders to combine into one folder, and this is just a glitch around the problem. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am running Windows 7 on a PC.

Hello and welcome...
Follow the instructions here to delete the cache.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Can't sync two photo albums

Hi,
I'm trying two sync to photo albums from my Windows 8 PC to my iPhone 6, I have two folders 'Jacob and 'Jacob2'.
I can sync either one perfectly fine but when I come to sync the 2nd folder it replaces the first one I synced.
In short, it's only letting me have one folder on my iPhone. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Your help has been amazing guys, I don't know what I'd do without you all.

Photos app not syncing with iTunes

I am no longer able to sync multiple photo albums/folders on my iphone. I use to be able to sync many folders and now itunes only gives the option of 1 folder. How do I get back to the multiple folder option?

first time to the discussion forum. Like I stated in the title, I use to be able to have all my photo albums sync to my iphone. I did something and now it only allows me to "sync photos from..." and it only allows me to chose from 1 of my folders and not pick multiple folders from my photo library. does anyone know how to get back to the multiple folder option? I'm sure its simple since I changed this so easily when trying to add a single folder to my library.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Synchronizing certain photo albums with iTunes 9 to AppleTV or iPhone

Hey,
can somebody please explain to me how to synchronize certain Photo album to my AppleTV or iPhone? Whenever I select the device on the left hand side list in iTunes (9.0.2) and go to the "Photos" tab on the right hand side I only have the choice between "All Photos, Events,.." and "Synchronizing photos before anything else". The choice in the middle "selected album, Photos, Events, ..." is always greyed out and not selectable.
So: What do I have to do the synchronize certain photo albums ? I am using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.2 and iPhoto 8.1.1

You need to go into your iPhoto application and turn off (or disable) all music that is tied to any of your self-created slideshows. This error seems to be directly related to odd characters in the titles of the songs in your slideshows. Then sync your photos. Afterward, you can then "try" and go back in and re-attach your songs inside your slideshows, and see if your iPhoto photos will again sync without the -50 error.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are the photos that you are referring to part of a camera roll, photo stream or are they simply photos that you have synced from your computer via iTunes.

HT4236 Syncing a photo album on iPad

I made an album in iPhoto but it says 0 photos in that album when I select that on my iPad to sync. Any ideas why?

There's a couple of apps on the App Store that do a great job at this.
Photo Shack Pro - let's you create libraries and albums for your photos, select what photos you want in each, and in what order, let's you view them in a lightbox or full-screen, zoom in to full resolution, even look at the embedded photo data. You can also map and slideshow your photos.
iAlbum Pro - is a beautiful and intuitive "virtual" photo album that looks, feels, and works just like a "real" photo album, complete with cover, pages, photo corners, the works... Plenty of options for different covers, pages, corners, even photo borders to build dozens of unique albums to save your favorite photos in.
Both work entirely on the iPad. No need to connect to a computer or the Internet.

Can't select sync selected photo albums

In the Apple TV photo tab of iTunes I cannot get the "sync selected albums etc button" to be highlighted(ungreyed). I've been doing this successfully for 2 years and now I cannot.

what sort of itunes/appletv connection have to configured ?
you can only sync photos when connected as a primary connection (with sync options for video/music etc).
if you are connected via a shared connection (ie can only stream music/video) then you can only stream photos.

Syncing PSE 10 albums in iTunes 11

In iTunes 11, why can't photos sync with Selected albums in PSE 10? All photos and albums is the default choice and the Selected albums option is grayed out. This feature used to work before I upgraded iTunes and PSE (from PSE 7). All the albums were created in PSE 7 and the catalog coverted to PSE 10.

Hi Steve,
well, currently I still cannot force an album to show in Artists as a Compilation. There certainly appears to be a discrepancy, as you suggested. Here are some screenshots, with odd things happening;
I've tried with the album part set to Compilation, but in these shots, the complete album is set as a Compilation. If I look in songs, there it is, between White Island Fever and Why Don't We Do It In The Road?;
but if I then look under Artists, there is no heading for Compilation albums shown at all (not even the other ones we can see in the first picture);
although, when I first found them, Compilations was shown immediately below All Artists. The Whole Story isn't hiding under Various Artists either;
Even more odd is this, in the songs view:
you'll notice that Get Info (an option I use a lot) is greyed out. I then changed views a few times, without modifying the album in any way. Eventually, after several attempts, when I return to the songs view, I can now use the Get Info...
Just teething problems I'm sure. But I can imagine lots of hysterical posts from users who see Get Info greyed out. I'm sure you've noticed that the OTT posts about the delays in the release of iTunes 11 have now been replaced by yet more hysteria asking to go back to iTunes 10 because they don't like 11.
You couldn't make it up!
Phil
