Synched Photos Corrupted When Viewed On iPhone

I am synching a folder of images to my iPhone via iTunes. When I view these images on the phone, many of them have horizontal bands of color running through them that are not on any of the original images.

The original images are in jpg format.

iPhone, Mac OS X (10.4.10), iPhone

I am experiencing the same problem. Some of the pictures appear to sync fine, most do not, and many just don't even sync.

The image sizes vary between mostly 2816 x 2112 (Canon SD750 IS), a few 2448 x 3264 (Sony DSC-T100) and some various other sizes.

I'm assumed it was a Windows Vista issue - since I synched my photos with a Windows 2003 server machine at work and the photos looked great. But if a Mac is having the same issue then it has to be something else.

I hope apple can fix this ASAP 😟

I have read a ton of posts of Vista users having problems with syncing photos - try this.

Put your photos on a folder on a USB thumb drive. Then choose that folder to sync and try it.

What I read seemed to point to the flavor of NTFS that Vista is using. By syncing with a thumbdrive, you are syncing to a FAT32 drive, which is a simple format compared to NTFS. It apparently has to do with Vista NTFS, not XP NTFS.

Another user just tried it and it worked for them.

Give that a shot.

It's not just a Windows issue. The same problem showed up for me recently. I was unable to import images from the iPhone to iPhoto or directly to my Mac using Apple's Image Capture software.

I resolved the problem today by resetting the iPhone and reimporting the pictures.

I was then able to import all of my pictures without any problems (the colour bands, pixelated spots, etc are all gone now).
