Will not sync photos

Hi, I can not sync photos beyond a few, error message says insufficient memory but there is >12G memory for<1G photos

Elizabeth-
I assume you have photos on your computer, and want to transfer them to the iPad using iTunes.  There could be a problem with iTunes not getting along with your computer.  Perhaps un-installing and re-installing iTunes would help.
Sometimes it is hard to tell which memory an error messages is referring to. On the iPad, there are two categories of memory.  The 12G is equivalent to hard drive storage space on the computer.  A small portion of it may be reserved as RAM for the iPad CPU's use in computation.
To free-up RAM, double-click the iPad's Home button.  A row of recent Apps will appear across the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one until it starts to wiggle.  A red minus sign should appear on each.  Touch the minus sign to stop each App.  This may not help, but won't hurt.
Another thing that won't hurt to try, is to reboot the iPad's CPU.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  After the iPad restarts, see if there is any improvement.

  • Itunes will not sync photos to my New iPad, I run all current software. Itunes show 0 photos in all albums and events. Why is this and how do I get iTunes to recognise my photo library?

  • ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

    iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
    The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'....  I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces....   I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
    Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
    If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
    I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    The photos won't get lost.
    You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
    Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
    Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.

  • Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

    Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well.  itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

    I link to it in th epost above yours.
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
    Scroll down to;
    Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
    Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
    Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
    Pain in the ***.

  • ITunes will not sync photos

    iTunes will not sync photos no matter what I try:
    * deleting photo cache folder
    * removing apps to free more space on iPod (120MB free)
    I've tried many of the suggested remedies on this list, all to no avail.
    I've noticed that during sync, when it reaches the "Syncing Photos" step, the progress bar stops spinning … hmmm?
    When finished, I launch the Photos App on the iPod … it indicates that it is updating the library, but when it is done … voila … NO PHOTOS!
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    I have just updated the ipod touch software to 4.1. The update seems to have helped improve the very sluggish performance introduced with 4.0 but now photos just won't sync.
    These are the same photos that are on the ipod Touch from software 4.0. The other sync items seems to have worked.
    The sync gets stuck with either "Finishing sync" and barber-pole scroll or Syncing photos 4 of 4.
    Unchecking the "Sync photos" Allows the sync to complete.
    The "Remove photos/Keep photos" option appears when changing the "Sync photos" option. Keeping the photos leaves the previously installed images on the IPT. Using a PowerMac G5.

  • Itunes will not sync photos - itl file corrupt

    Hello All,
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.  The XP install had my drive partitioned and my itunes data was on the E drive.  Now with Windows 7 I have one partition (C) and I was able to restore everything from Itunes to the new drive.  All is well accept my photos which will not sync.  I renamed the itl file and let it create a new one and my photos will sync.  If I go back to the original itl file the photos stay there as long as I don't uncheck the syncphotos box.  I need to go back to my old itl so that my music libraries are correct - including album art, etc.  I don't know why this happened or if there is a way to get the itl file back to where it should be.  If I did not have so much music I would just use the itl file and recreate my music library.  I did see an article talking about moving the xml file to the desktop and deleting the itl file then restoring from the xml.  I am just afraid that my xml file has been updated so much since I had this issue start that it will not be correct.  Does the xml file only keep info on the music or is it a repository for all itunes data?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rob

  • My iPad will not sync photo stream from iPhone

    My iPad ios7 will not sync my photo stream. It only received 1/4 of my photos. My iPhone ios6 has the correct photo stream. Tried Turing off photo stream on iPad, afraid to turn off photo stream on iPhone as I may lose data. I know the photo stream limit is 1000 so I keep it at 900. iPad is fully updated. iPhone all apps are fully updated. Same Apple ID is signed in across 2 devices for iCloud. Both are backed up on same wifi. Loading iTunes just to back up photo stream seems silly but maybe forced to.     Thank you.

    Check this out - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486.
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • Itunes will not sync photos to ipad 3 properly

    Problems I've had since ipad 3:
    I download and install latest itunes
    i tell it to restore from backup of my ipad 2 - it fails, it simply does not give me the choice to pick my ipad 2 restore, so i end up doing new setup.
    i tell itunes to slectively backup a folder containing 174 jpeg images that synced fine on my ipad 2 but on my ipad 3 it fails
    i can see itunes copying the 174 images but when i check on my ipad 3 they are not there. in fact it copied only 3 files.
    so i try again. i tell it to backup 6 folders of which contain a total of about 500 images
    after sync/copy is done i verify and there is only like 20 images?? where are the rest?
    i've tried every possible combination but no matter what it will only copy a few of the files.
    anyone else have problems syncing photos? it seems to work fine syncing apps, music just not photos which is my main use of the device since i'm a photographer.
    any ideas would be grateful.
    i've tried reinstalling
    setup my ipad as new and gone thru the whole process
    i double checked my jpeg files are they are present in the folder and open up fine.
    i just cant get itunes to sync photos properly.

    Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

  • IOS 4 will not sync Photos

    I plug in my iPod touch and it will backup and sync everything just fine until it reaches the end where it will usually ad photos from my iPhoto library and this window comes up and no photos are on my iPod except the ones in the Saved Photos album.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Sorry, I used this post a lot... but i think it solves the problem.
    Ok, i got my iOS 4 to install finally, after 2 restarts (Microsoft updates... idk if that did it) and a whole lot of try try again, I found something though, that might have did it.
    When you are restoring, all the other tabs (Apps, Music, Movies, Podcasts.... Contacts) in iTunes, those for some reason get unchecked, so the restore is trying to add all the apps back and other media/information; while iTunes sync options are not selected. Basically, i think what is happening is, the restore says install, but iTunes sees the "not selected to be synced"-no install, the two contradict the other, so you wind up with useless app icons, and no music/multimedia.
    How I solved it, was I stopped the restore, told it I wanted to start anew ipod, then reselected that I wanted to sync Music, Apps, etc. to my ipod, then, apply- but I either stopped it, or let it fail, then I went back to my restore button, and re-uploaded it from were it was last backed up. Now I have a fully functioning iPod Touch os 4, and i think all my apps but 2 (may need to uninstall, then reinstall, or just wait for the updates for these to make them compatible), and i have all my old media, info, and app data back. Hope this helped... I also my just have had sheer luck with this as well. Good luck though.

  • IPad will not sync photos

    I recently replaced an iPad that was working perfectly, except the screen cracked. The new one syncs with everything fine, except for photos. Photos worked perfectly on the original one. I am using iPhoto to sync. I haven't done anything differently than with the first iPad. I called the support line and after 90 minutes of trying everything from deleting the photo cache to creating screen shot photos and testing those, nothing worked. I am scheduled to go in and visit the genius bar. In the meantime, I am wondering, has anyone else seen this? Upon syncing, all items work fine, and the photos go through optimization. However, when it is done, it says it is syncing photos for a few seconds, then stops and gives the error: iPad can not sync because the file is missing. What file? Nobody seems to know.

    Before you start, you need to secure a computer, of course. Once secured, plug the iPad device into the pc to start the syncing process. After plugging the device, the management screen of the iPad will show up. On this screen locate the Photos tab (uppermost part) and click on it. You should then see a Sync Photos box on top. Put a check on the box. There is a drop-down menu next to it where you can choose the folder or application that restrains the photo library. Options will vary according to what application you select and utilize. Among with these are the option to sync individual galleries and the other choice is to sync the entire photo album.
    To sync one folder of photos, you can search the hard drive for the right folder to sync and then continue with syncing the entire folder or subfolders to the iPad system. Once you make sure everything is correct, you can go ahead and click the Apply button at the lower-right side of the iTunes screen to re-sync and save photos to the iPad contrivance.
    Or you can refer to this page about [How to transfer iPad/iPod/iPhone contents to computer?|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews] It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).

  • IPod Classic will not sync photos and crashes when scrolling photos

    I have had my  iPod Classic 80GB for 3 years.  Very recently, although it will sync podcasts with no problem, when it gets to syncing the photos, it comes up with the error :   'The iPod " name of iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.'
    It is asked to sync photos from My Pictures, and all folders - none of this has changed.
    In addition, when I try to scroll down the photos which I do have - no matter how slowly I do this, the screen goes to the Apple logo and stays there for a while
    Does anyone have any ideas, please?

    Try trashing your iPod's Photo cache and then resyncing your iPod.  See this article to help you determine the location of your iPod's Photo cache on your PC.

  • Iphone will not sync photos/music/podcasts

    My iphone has been working perfectly but recently decided to stop syncing all photos/music/podcasts. The only items it syncs are contacts and bookmarks. I have tried deleting preferences for itunes/iphoto and reset the phone in itunes and itself. No change. Yes, I have all the right settings checked in itunes.
    One strange behavior is the phone shows up twice in iphoto...
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Mike,
    I have tried a full reset and restore.
    I just got off the phone with Apple support this AM and they had not seen this problem before. They had me re-install iTunes and syncing is now working, but I still have the phone showing up twice in iPhoto (which Apple also claims is a new problem). Thanks!

  • IPad will not sync photos from MacBook Pro master

    All syncing operations work except "Photos".  While analizing photo's program crashes & reverts to "problem report to Apple" window

    Thanks Eric.  Yes, when the iPad is connected, I have checked the appropriate boxes in the iTunes Photos Tab for the device to try to sync some or all albums, events, etc. from iPhoto and have tried checking the boxes for various subfolders to try to sync from the "Pictures" folder. 
    I am able to see all of the folder iPhoto and Pictures folder options from iTunes. When I click on the various folders, the capacity bar will increase and decrease depending on what I select or deselect.
