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.

    - Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices. Any thoughts

    Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices.
    iTunes sync error at the photo sync step with an unknown error 1140.
    I have restarted everything, unsynced & attempted re sync to no avail.
    The photo sync screen only allows me to select the sync all option, the select specific events, albums etc . Choice is greyed out.
    This is true for both my iPhone 4S and ipad2.

    I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
    Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
    It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • After updating iOS 6 in my iPod Touch 4th Gen, my Synced photos from computer are all gone. The remaining pictures are only in the Camera Roll. HELP THANKS :)

    Hello! I updated my itouch 4g with iOS 6 using iTunes at Windows 7. After updating, my musics and videos are still there but my synced photos from the computer are lost. The only remaining photos are from the Camera Roll. I lost 4000 photos. What will I do to restore them? Thanks for thise who will help :)

    You need to obtain the synced photos from where you obtained them the first time. Synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of an update or restore.

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

  • 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.

  • I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos

    I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Trying to update ipad2 to ios5, it sends an error after a while....

    trying to update my ipad2 to ios5, doesnt work qith my itunes update already, it sends an error code, and told that i have a problem with my network.
    whats next?

    Don't update to iOS 5.  It's crap.  It causes your apps to crash, your phone operates slower, safari has tremendous lag on downloading information, facebook app crashes, etc., etc.  Wait until Apple releases a "release" to correct their iOS 5 release.  It also screws up your iPad 2.  I'm going back to iOS 4 until they can correct the "bugs".

  • Updated iPad2(2011) to iOS8 now iBooks crashes while reading a book. What is going on?

    Updated iPad2(2011) to iOS8. Now iBooks crashes while reading a book and closes down. I have sync'd the iPad a few times but nothing changes and it will 'crash' every 5-10 minutes. What is going on?

    A better solution. This worked for me and several others, from a post from MrsMike921 in the following thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/26725105#26725105
    go to your settings, and first go to Safari and delete your history by scrolling down to "clear history and website data". Then go to the advanced settings and select ""website data". It should show 0 bytes. If not, clear again.
    next go to iTunes and App Store in settings, and touch your Apple ID, the select sign out.
    AFter you you sign out of your ID, restart your iPad by holding down the power button and home key simultaneously until you see the apple logo after the restart.
    when you are powered up, go to iBooks. You should get a message that you need to sign in to sync up your books. Sign in, and that should do it.

  • Updating ipad2 to ios5.1 is it really required?

    Dear Friends,
    I have ipad2 with ios5.01
    Is it really worth upgrading to ios5.1, if so what are the advantages (features)
    I have a general notion that ios5.1 specific to battery issues of iphone 4s, and also the retina display for the new ipad.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,

    Bug fixes and the enhanced Camera app are two good reasons.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
