iPhoto library won't sync to iPhone 4

Hi,

iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.

Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.

Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

MacBook (Late 2008) (2.4GHz), Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4GB RAM, 1TB HD

I have a similar problem. I recently had to switch hard drives in my Windows 7 laptop. Re-installed everything and went to sync my iphone 4. Everything went fine except for the photos. At first they wouldn't sync at all. I did a hard reboot and synced again and about 2/3 of them synced but NO FOLDERS - just 2687 photos all muddled together. I synced again (without syncing any photos) and then turned the phone off, unplugged from the laptop, then rebooted the iphone. Plugged back into the laptop and tried another sync with the photos --- AGAIN 2687 photos all in one folder.

I've tried everything short of voodoo but no luck 😟

HELP

So this thread has been up for a while but I've been dealing with this for a while trying many of the fixes, finally gave up and called Apple. The lady had me download and reinstall iTunes. Just go to download page and reinstall as usual...it'll write over the other one. Voila.....seems to be fixed! I tried syncing a couple albums and they synced right over as expected. Been putting up with this issue for a LONG time.

Just wanted to post in case anybody else is having this because it was driving me crazy and what appears to be the fix was easy and painless.
