Weird message on Photo syncing

I've been trying to put photos into my Nano. I always stop because whenever I click the "Sync Photos" box, a message pops up saying something to the effect that if I sync pics from a folder, then those pictures will replace ALL the photos and ALBUMS in my Nano. What's up with that? The iTunes help section doesn't mention such a message popping up at all.
How can I put in my pics without them replacing all the artwork in my Nano?

Go to MyComputer Properties>Hardware>Device Manager> Universal Bus Controllers and right click on Enhanced USB> Properties>Drivers>Update drivers. That solved the problem for me. Restore the ipod when it's recognized by the computer.

ITunes/Photoshop Elements Photo Sync Fails After PSE Upgrade

After upgrading from Photoshop Elements version 9 to version 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works.
iTunes continues to show the albums from version 9, and photo syncing any of the albums causes iTunes to fail into an un-ending loop without an error message. Photo syncing from other folders works fine. I temporarily re-installed Elements 9 and iTunes photo sync began to work, but using the old version 9 photo catalog.
Is there a fix that will get iTunes to sync with Elements 13 photo albums? Are there files or registry entries that need to be re-pointed to the Elements 13 photo catalog?
I'm running Windows 7 with SP1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a very capable HP PC.
All help appreciated.
Thanks ... Tom

While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb".
In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
With iTunes and PSE closed,
1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder.
2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents. The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone

Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone.
I've tried restarting my computer, powering down my i-Phone & shutting down i-Tunes but nothing works.
Plus i cant email photo's from my i-Phone either.

Can you do a manual back up by right clicking on the iPhone in the left pane and selecting backup?
Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, hold down your sleep and home button until the screen shuts off then let go of the buttons. Wait a few seconds and then press the sleep button to turn the iPhone back on. Try to sync now.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache on your computer.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

When I try to sync photos to i pad from my pc the photos are not synced and I get an error message "could not sync 113 photos see i tunes"

When I try to sync my photos from my pc (windows 7) I get an error message that could it could not sync 113 photos of 1170 or so and that I should see itunes. Many of the the photos that are synced are mixed intothe wrong albums. I have deleted the ipad cache numerous times; meticuliously reorganized my albums, tried to add albums both individually as well as sync all. I am beside myself.

Delete the iPod Photo Cache folder. Its location can be found here:

Syncing messages and photos

Hi! Can anyone help me with syncing messages and photo's? I've just purchased a new iphone but only messages and photo's up to October 2011 have synced onto my new phone so I'm missing a years worth of stuff! Any idea how I fix it?

You did more than sync the iPhone since photos/videos in the Camera Roll and Messages are not included with the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone. The former option replaces the data on the new iPhone that is included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device followed by a sync matching the sync settings for the other iPhone or iOS device which is included with the backup. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone, not days or weeks later.
The latter option doesn't transfer a backup for another iPhone or iOS device allowing you to make the selections that you want to sync under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. The settings, Camera Roll, and Messages are not touched.
If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll prior to choosing to transfer the backup for your iPhone 3G or 3GS to the new iPhone, the photos, messages, and contacts manually entered on the iPhone over the last week or so are gone - replaced with the backup for your iPhone 3G or 3GS.

Weird messages when syncing

Hi, I got my ipod last christmas and this is the first time I've experienced a problem with it. Whenever I try and sync my ipod, a few songs will sync and then it will stop, and a message saying "The iPod "My iPod" canot be synced. The required disc cannot be found". I've updated the newest version, and when I try and restore it, another weird message comes up saying something like "an unknown error occurred" I've read through the user manuals and I've tried a few different things but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?

Michael,
Same delay each time....
Permissions repair on my system takes about 30 minutes.
Do you have a problem with your system?
I have used:
Cocktail
Onyx
And Booted into the original Leopard disk and used Disk Utility
If not, your post leads me to believe that you are over-maintaining, and over concerned.
;~)

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method. My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option). I cannot. Please see the screenshot I took:
Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos. So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message. Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

Photo Sync problem - Cannot read or write to disk?

Initial sync of my iPad. Photos seemed to download from iPhoto. Space indicated that entire photo library had been copied to iPad. when I go to look for the pictures on the iPad, the screen message is that no photos exist. Back on the iMac, a notice said that the: "The iPad XXX iPad cannot be synced. The disk cannot be read to or written from."
Th sync of my music library had no such problems. What am I doing wrong....all is fine except the photos sync.
Thanks!

This issue is discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1207
A common resolution is that one or more of the images being synced is corrupt / unreadable.
Remove the cached photos so that a fresh copy can be made: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Ipad2 photos sync issue ios8.1.1

I have an 64GB iPad2. I normally sync my photos from iTunes on my PC. I have about 27,000 photos. My iPad was experiencing slowness issues since upgrading to iOS8.1. Today I updated to 8.1.1.
Photo sync from my PC is not working correctly.
It creates the required folders, but the content is empty.
I've closed all apps on the iPad, shut it down, rebooted.
I've rebooted the PC.
I've unchecked all the selected folders to sync. It successfully deleted all photos. (grrrrr)
I've tried changing the selected directory in iTunes from which to sync on the PC to one that only has a 1000 or so photos.
It creates the directory on the PC, but it's empty.
I get en error message "The iPad "XXXX's iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
Ideas? If I go to the Genius bar, I won't have my PC.

I assume that you mean that the photo folders sync to the iPad but there is nothing in the folders.

That is how it is supposed to work. But I think that you know that. Surely you didn't expect to sync empty folders and have photos appear on the iPad if they were not in the folders that you synced. Maybe I am missing something and if I am please clarify for me.
I've tried changing the selected directory in iTunes from which to sync on the PC to one that only has a 1000 or so photos.
It creates the directory on the PC, but it's empty.
Once again, I assume that you mean that you created another folder of photos with 1000 or so photos in it. If you created another photos folder, the photos have to reside in that folder or there is nothing to sync. this could be another case where I am misunderstanding ....
I get en error message "The iPad "XXXX's iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
Ideas? If I go to the Genius bar, I won't have my PC.
Have you tried quitting iTunes, rebooting your PC and then reset the iPad and try again - after you get this message? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
