I am trying to move photos from my computer onto my iPhone. I have opened iTunes, connected my iPhone, selected the phone under the Devices sections, selected the Photos tab, selected the folder I want to sync, clicked apply then sync. The phone goes throught the syncing process after which I click on the Photos app on the phone. The only thing that appears is the Camera Roll under albums.
What am I doing wrong? Is there some global setting on the phone or in iTunes that I need to change? I have made sure to uncheck the hide extensions of known file types box (I am running Windows).
I had the same problem, when I synched up my new IP4 this morning. The transfer failed 3 times, then worked.
Good news = Now my phone has my photos
Bad News = I have no idea why the synch failed, or why it worked finally
Other Bad News = The photos in all albums are ordered by date, not name. This is an ITunes problem which is addressed in other threads.
My sync does not fail. The sync proceeds normally. And after it is over, I still only have the Camera Roll on the phone. I have helped family members sync iPhone 3GSs and an iPad using the same procedure which worked every time.
