Q: Syncing photographs

Wondering where I'm going wrong...

 

When attempting to sync photographs from "Photos" to my iPod using iTunes:

 

In iTunes on my iMac I have the "Photos Panel" open for my iPod

 

I have the tab "Sync Photos" ticked,

 

The Box "copy photos from:" is set to "Photos" next to this box is a number which represents approximately 10% of the number of photographs that I have stored in "Photos"

 

I have selected "Selected Albums" and ticked the albums that I wish to sync all of which are complete in "Photos"

 

About 10% of the Photographs are copied to the iPod.

 

A larger proportion of newer photographs are successfuly transferred, but many older photographs make it across, likewise many newer ones do not.

 

Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong?

 

Many thanks,

David.

    Hello, David.   

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I understand that you are experiencing an issue with photos not syncing to your iPod.  If the photos you are trying to sync to your iPod are located in Photos, I would start with removing the iPod photo cache and attempt the sync again.

    Turn it off and then back on again, you mean? The universal IT fix all....

     

    However it seemed to work thanks.

    Problem is I'm having to do it every time I add to the photo albums I'm trying to keep updated on my pod. Here's hoping there are improvements to "Photo" coming with El Captain.

     

    Thanks,
