Unable to sync iphoto photos to iphone

I've been seeing this for awhile but didn't have the time to fix it. My iPhone 3GS syncs with iTunes fine, but by the time it gets to photos, it only syncs pictures that I took with my phone excluding pictures from iPhoto. On iTunes, I have the option "Sync all photos and albums from my iPhoto library". After iTunes letting it do its thing, I check my phone and only my camera roll pictures are there. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanx!
p.s. I'm currently running iOS 4.2 beta 1 if that makes a difference

That could be the culprit. Why are you running beta software on your actual phone? Per the terms of the beta software agreement, beta software is only supposed to be utilized on test equipment.
You could try restoring the device from a previous backup or restoring as new.

You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

Purchased an audiobook from iTunes and unable to sync it to my iPhone

I purchased an audiobook from iTunes on my MacBook Air and have been unable to sync it to my iphone! Any thoughts?

Hi DrDRB,
Check out these two previous topics on the subject matter -

Also, I see you're new. First off, welcome. Secondly, although you own a MacBook Air this sub-forum is typically reserved for hardware and/or software issues pertaining to the MacBook Air. For an issue with an audiobook from iTunes and being unable to sync to your iPhone a question like this would be better asked in the iTunes forum, as the iPhone forum is like the MacBook Air forum (designed for hardware/software issues related to the iPhone and iOS).

I am unable to sync songs to my iphone

I am unable to sync songs to my iphone.

Assuming you aren't manually managing your music in iTunes, check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct sync your phone.

Syncing iPhoto albums to iPhone 4-is there a limit to number of photos in album

I was able to sync a small album with 69 photos from iPhoto to the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5 without a problem. First I synced it as "Last Import" with no edits whatsoever, fresh from downloading from the camera, and then I synced as an album with a number of edits. No problem. When I try to sync an album with about 1100 photos in, only about a quarter of the photos are synced. This not a problem with my first generation 8GB iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. What gives?

Same problem! I have 530 pics in one Album - but when I sync my to my iPhone 4 - only 56 of the pics are transferred. I have done a full Restore on the iPhone and Rebuilt the database on iPhoto. This appears to be happening only since Lion 10.7.1.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
AK

Unable to sync all photos to iPad/iPhone

I'm trying to sync some photos but iTunes keeps telling me that selected photos cannot be copied to either my iPad or my iPhone. These photos display fine in iPhoto, and some of them were taken on the iPhone and then effects added with apps afterwards. The pop up gives me no more information as to why they cannot be copied. Anybody got any ideas?

Try deleting the photo cache from the computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Can't sync Aperture Photos with iPhone under iTunes 10

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 10 and when I go to the photos section under the iPhone sync options, I can select either sync all photos or sync selected projects under sync with iPhoto, but as soon as I select Aperture it greys out the selected projects option, and reports 0 photos in Aperture to sync at all. This also happened when iTunes9 was first released and magically fixed itself some months later. Does anyone know why my Aperture library no longer appears to iTunes10 and how can I get it to find it?
Cheers
Garry

I am having the same problem, I cannot select Projects if A3 is selected in iTunes. If All faces, albums and projects is selected the sync crashes almost immediately after starting the image routine.
1) Deleted the iPod data directory and files - no joy
2) Repaired, rebuilt database - no joy
3) Flipped sharing preference bit on, and off between program executions - no joy
4) Searched database for filenames with symbols in the file name. Found a couple - exported them from my project and deleted the masters - no joy
Then I noticed my facebook folders were syncing files DOWN from facebook and giving them very long filenames. Well, not long in the unix community - but upwards of 50 characters in length. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if this could be the culprit.
In any case - until this is run to ground I am unable to use my iPad for the primary purpose for which it was purchased - as a mobile display of my portfolio.
Going to sleep now - been up for 24 hours. I think I will try deleting my facebook folders completely (from facebook) and then will see what happens.

Recovering missing iPhoto photos from iPhone 5

Hi, I reindexed my iPhoto library as I was missing photos. Now it seems I have lost more photos! I have my entire iPhoto library sync'ed with my iPhone 5. Is it possible to sync. from iPhone to iPhoto in an attempt to recover the photos? I am worried if I sync. my device with itunes as I normally would that the sync will go the other way and I will lose these photos forever. Can anyone help me? Adam

Try the following. It will create a library with all original files that are in your Originals folder. You can then see if there are photos in the Originals folder that your current library is unable to detect and dispay.
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Also you can use Image Capture to manually upload all photos from your iPhone to a folder on the Desktop.
You should be able to import the folder into the library while excluding duplicates and get any photos that are currently missing.

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.

HELP! iTunes won't sync iPhoto Library to iPhone 6

PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

How to sync iCloud photos on iPhone to new MacBook Air

How can I sync the photos on my iPhone to my new MacBook Air? I have been assuming that when I back up my phone, my photos and videos are on my iCloud account and could, in principle, be synced to my MacBook Air. Is this possible?

The iCloud backup is storing your Camera roll photos, but you can only use it to restore the iPhone. See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
Either connect the iPhone to a USB port and download your Camera Roll directly to iPhoto or Aperture, or enable the Photo Stream on your iPhone and on your mac. That will upload all photos from the Camera Roll to iCloud, and you can download them from the Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture. See: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

Syncing edited photos to iPhone and iPad

I use the "sync all photos albums events and faces" to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad.
However if I subsequently edit any photos they are not transferred across to my devices when I next sync.
I understand a workaround for this issue is to delete the cache and resync, however with the amount of photos I have, this would be too time consuming.
Edited photographs seem to be updated on my Apple TV (1st generation) and MobileMe galleries, is there any reason why they aren't automatically transferred across to my iPhone/iPad?
Thanks in advance for you help

That may be a better question for the iPad/iPhone forums - or maybe even iTunes since it is doing the sync

Unable to sync new music to iphone 5; existing songs are becoming unplayable

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7.0.3 I have been unable to sync new music to my iPhone 5. Now some existing songs in my music library on my phone have become unplayable. Red circles containing red squares have appeared next to those songs. If I choose a specific album to play, it will skip through every song without playing any of them & put those red circles/squares next to every song. Those songs can no longer be played on my phone, even though they look completely normal & play just fine in iTunes on my PC. Has anyone else run into this problem?

I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple days, but on my iPod touch 5. It seemed to happen for me after I updated to iOS 7.0.2 a few weeks ago. Have you tried the solutions that other people have posted on other discussions? Nothing else seemed to work for me except a full system restore. I'm in the process of my second restore right now. iTunes shows it's downloading the apps, but my problem was with the songs, so hopefully they work after all this... When I go into my music on my iPod touch, they all have the red circles next to them. I'm not sure if they're still downloading or not. It all started with not downloading a few albums to not downloading any of my songs.
If all doesn't work, I might have to try what this guy did(check link). Though I'd rather not lose all my plays and have to start over, but I'm not even sure that's going to work. If it's caused by a bug I surely hope Apple gets their act together and fixes it soon.

If you haven't yet, check the other discussions on this topic and see if any of them work. Good luck.
