iPhoto library won't sync to iPhone 4

Hello, it is a know issue and my understanding is that this will be solved with IOS4.1
Big question is when this will be released.
Work around is to export your photos you wish to have on your iPhone into a dedicated folder and click that in iTunes to sync and your photos will appear on your iPhone.
I hope it works for you,
Cheers.

doesn't work :((

sorry to hear that.
read the other messages in this threat. some other work arounds are posted that might work for you.

Hi, i´ve the same problem with my 3G & 4.0.2... reset, restart, restore... all fails!!!!

Solved: this fix worked for me. My photos are now syncing correctly from iPhoto to iPhone.

Follow the instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html

(basically just launch the iSync appplication, then reset).

The iSync tip doesn't work for me...I think I'll just give up & get an Android phone...

Thank's a lot cs_1988 it worked fine !

Since this morning, I could'nt see my photos in iPhoto - I Turned Phone off and On my iPhone 4 and here they were 🙂

There is a workaround. Next time you sync, set it not to sync music. This will strip all music from your iphone, but all of your photos will load. Then go ahead and reset it to sync music. It will add the music without removing the photos, presuming you have space.

Murf,

Did you find a fix for this yet? I am having the same exact problem. Trying to sync 20 events, but only partial events show up, like maybe 20% of the photos that should go on.

Let me know what you did if it is fixed.

Thanks,

I have the same problem with my iPhone4 running iOS4.1, but also with my Apple TV running the latest OS and my iPod Touch which is still on version2. iTunes can sync photos from folders but not from iPhoto. Started a couple of weeks ago and is really annoying. I've deleted the iPod Photo Cache, rebuilt the indexes, fixed permissions and tried every fix on the boards - but nothing has worked.

Please Apple - I have all these gadgets plus 3 iMacs a MacBook and a Mac Mini - get this fixed!

Thanks.

Same problem as everyone else..
My iPhone shows up on iPhoto and I can see the pictures in my phone, but the pictures in iPhoto won't sync to the phone. iTunes tells me its syncing, then it just says the sync is finished.
I have found that importing pictures from folders works though, it's just the iPhoto sync that has the bug. hopefully they fix it soon.

So what is the best fix for this? I just upgrade my new Iphone 4 and updated it with the new POS oops I IOS4 and now the camera shuts off and the pictures will not sync.

Same issue as everybody else. I have OS 10.6.4, IPhone 4 with iOS 4.1, iTunes 10

In regards to BakerBruceW's post from Aug 30, 2010 8:44 AM:

Your suggestion to unsync the music worked. After that iPhoto immediately recognized the iPhone and imported as usual. Before I tried both the 'delete cache' and 'turn off and on iphone', to no avail.

I noticed there was something funny in iTunes about the size of the free space. Even though iTunes recognized the iPhone and synced, it did showed I had about 2.5 times as much free memory as I actually had. Adding the space taken and the free space totalled about 40GB of iPhone memory, which is 8GB beyond what my IPhone has. So this was screwy. Given that removing the music from the phone made it then put the pictures on, I suspect there is some memory issue.

I have to say, Apple is losing my trust. iPhone 4 has bad reception, lies ackward in my hand, and hangs regulary. iPhone 3G and 3GS never had issues this bad. On top there are some other hang ups with the new OS 10.6.4 on my MacBook and now iOS 4.1 caused the iPhoto issue. Iphone still has no to-do list (my Psion in 1995 had that) and MobileMe can only share calendars in Beta...in 2010. Seems like products get pushed without proper thought and testing. If I wanted that sort of BS I might as well go Android.

I tried stopping music syncing as well but it doesn't fix anything. Now on my Apple TV I simply have no media at all. I can sync music and videos when I turn it back on but never photos from iPhoto. Works fine from folders. Same with iPhone4 and iPod Touch.

Does anyone know how to contact Apple Support directly? I've searched for a link on the website but only find these forums.

Thanks.

This worked for me: Deleted 'iPod Photo Cache' that was in the 'iPhoto Library' package (right clicked on the file, selected 'Show Package Contents').
