Unable to sync photos to my iPad

Itunes refuses to sync photos to ipad air 2022.

I have about 11000 pictures located on my

windows computer in "itunes pictures" separated in "years"

and there has been now problem sync to my older ipad air 2, and I am very

confused as it seems my new ipad didn't accept sync.

I have of course checked the picture folders (about 100).

It start as usual with reading pics but ends after "copying 1-19" and then leave the sync without any copying.

What can be wrong?

Given that the problem exists with multiple devices, the issue is unlikely to be device related - but is instead more likely to be a problem with either your Windows PC - or your iTunes for Windows installation. As such, this is perhaps not the best area of the Apple Support Community to receive advice relating to your PC and iTunes.

You might be best advised to seek help here:

iTunes for Windows - Apple Community

As an alternative to using iTunes for Windows, perhaps consider using iTunes for Windows - and synchronise your Photos using iCloud:

Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

iCloud for Windows

Download iCloud for Windows – Apple Support

Set up and use iCloud for Windows – Apple Support

You can install and use both on the PC. They will happily coexist - and provide considerable flexibility in how you move/share/transfer photos and other documents and data between iPad, iPhone and your PC.

A good result. I’m delighted that the problem has been resolved.

Despite having resolved the iTunes for Windows problem, I strongly recommend that you at least investigate iCloud for Windows - as this significantly simplifies synchronising photos and files between Apple devices and a Windows PC.

Sorry to say, during a long conversation with apple support i Norway, I tried to open icloud, but stopped because I got a popup with something about "Finder" and a strong warning "11000 pictures is deleted if you proceed". The support told that this had something to do with Mac, but I never have used mac og icloud. So I stopped and as mentioned above, the case is fixed with all 50 GB transferred.

Have you updated iTunes for Windows to its latest version - which will require either Windows 10 or Windows 11?

Working a couple of hours with apple support suddenly the case was solved. Something had blocked - and a restart of computer, itunes and ipad several times was needed.
