Why won't some of my photos transfer to my iphone 4?

I am trying to get certain photos onto my iphone 4, i put them all into the same folder and then selected that folder in itunes and hit sync. But only some of the photos transferred. Why can't i get all the photos on my phone? Now i have photo albums with duplicate photos that i cannot organize. How can i manage these albums?

I had this same problem and was able to resolve it using the following steps. I don't know if you need to do all of them, but this is what I did that works. I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and an iPhone 4. I hope that these work for you!
(1) Disconnent iPhone from computer
(2) In the Sync options in iTunes uncheck sync photos
(3) Close iTunes
(4) Go to your file manager (for Windows it is Windows Explorer) and go to all of the folders where you have tried to sync photos from. There will be iPhone (or i something) Cache. Delete these folders. All of them that you can find.
(5) Re-launch iTunes and connect your iPhone
(6) In iTunes go to the Sync options and reselect photos (or the specific folders)
(7) Click "Apply"
(8) When it asks if you want to remove all of the photos that are currently on your phone (it won't touch your camera roll) say yes
(9) Resync and all photos should be there

Why won't some music sync from iTunes to my iPhone 5?

I have purchased several items from the iTunes store with no trouble syncing and playing on my iPhone 4. Recently I purchased two iPhone 5's for myself and my son. His phone is synced to my iTunes account and can play all content. My phone initially synced all my music and comedy albums. Occasionally I would come across a song my iPhone music player refused to play. I would touch the song name, briefly see the song/album and it would flip back to my playlist/song list without playing or it would skip to another song. Sometimes skipping several songs in between and flashing quickly the song title.
To rectify this, I researched the problem on the forums and tried one of the suggestions of right clicking on the song in iTunes, converting the song to AAC and then deleting the original and re-syncing. After powering down and re-syncing, the 173 non-synced songs out of 808 purchased songs were no longer even on my phone.
I accessed the iTunes store through the app on my phone, found the non-downloaded songs in the cloud and manually downloaded them to my phone. Although I couldn't put them in the playlists I had created on iTunes (where they are checked and the playlist is checked for syncing) I did have them on my phone and they played perfectly. After my phone was plugged into a power source with iTunes open and my phone synced, the songs were once again missing from my phone.
I contacted Apple support and we spent some time trying different things:
1) Selected tab under iTunes preferences for devices "Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically"
2) Reset all settings
3) Backed up my iPhone for a restore - which we never did.
I spoke then with a senior support consultant and we then:
1) Deleted the songs from my phone through Settings > General > Usage > Storage where my playlists remained but were empty.
2) We re-synced all my checked playlists. The songs were still missing.
3) On iTunes we selected "Sync all music". Songs were still missing.
4) Went to iTunes Store via iTunes on my Mac, looked up purchases and downloads, re-downloaded missing songs (there were only six of them and happened to be the ones that I converted to AAC).
5) Created new "Test" playlist and dragged two of the missing iPhone songs into it. Synced phone to include new playlist. Playlist appeared but was empty.
I had purchased two John Pinette comedy albums. One entire album will not sync and on the second, only two of the thirteen "songs" will sync. The support person asked if I wanted to change all of the m4a songs to mp3 and was going to show me how but when viewing the John Pinette "Still Hungry" album where the first and last song synced, they show the file ends with m4a, as do all of the songs that won't sync. This leads me to conclude that the file type isn't the issue, but that there is something corrupted with certain files from the iTunes store or a glitch that is incompatible with the IOS 6.1.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you been able to rectify it?

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes?

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes? Other photos taken with same camera sync fine from iPhoto while certain events are inexplicably incompatible. I've recently foundvthecsame occurrence with certain mp3s and videos from iTunes.

For photos 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

Why don't some of the photos I took with my iPhone 4S appear on my iPad 3? Both are connected to WiFi and iCloud is activated on both devices.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Why won't my macbook import photos from a cd?

There are different kinds of CD Formatting.
You probably have a CD formatted for Windows only.
Do you see the CD in Utility Disc ? there are the informations about the Cd.

I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?

Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

Hello Karelyn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Best of luck,
Mario

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
"Sorry, something went wrong.
This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
Thanks.

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
Perfection!

Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

Hey,
Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
didn't download correctly.
Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

Hey,
spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
really understand.

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

Great question! This is a feature not available yet in the iphone devices. Precise location is not available, only course location. Learn more about the feature https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=familylocator .

TS4062 Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching.

Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching?

I have the same problem - between the issue I had with restoring after the upgrade (Error -48), the duplicate entries I now get between my Outlook appointments and iCloud, and the inability to have Events added from the iPhone sync to Outlook, I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry about 5.0x! Not to mention the battery problem, which I HOPE they ironed out.

Why do only some of the photos I would like to import from my ipad2 appear in iphoto?

A friend of mine shared some photos via photostream so that I can edit them into a movie. I selected all the photos that were shared and added them to my camera roll on my ipad2. After connecting my ipad2 to my macbook pro via usb, iphoto opens up and displays the pictures that I am allowed to import when devices(ipad) is selected. I only see some of the photos available for import. What happend to all the photos from my camera roll? Why aren't they available to import? I also noticed all my other photos on the camera roll, besides the ones saved from the photo stream, are not showing.

If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.
