The New iPad will not sync all photo's

Yeah, I see that too. It's as if once it hits a "bad'/too big image, it just stops and ignores everything else.

I seem to have at least temporarily fixed the issue on my iPad. Basically I deleted the iPhoto app on my iPad. I was then able to sync any photos I wanted. Possibly iPhoto on the iPad and iTunes share some direcotry information and that somehow interferes with syncing.

The complete steps to my temp fix:

- Deleted iPhoto on the iPad

- Synced my iPad so that it removed all my photos

- Deleted the iPod Photo Cache

- Synced my iPad with the photo folders I wanted to import. I started synching one folder at a time and when that appeared to be working, I synced all the rest. All the syncs were sucessful.

- Re-downloaded iPhoto to my iPad. When I started iPhoto it did it's "build database" thing, and that all worked and I could view my photos in iPhoto.

So I got all my photos on my iPad that I want. Time will tell if iPhoto for the iPad and iTunes will continue to have issue with my new iPad -- whether I will be able to sync without losing photos, or to add additional photos or folders.

Unfortunately, I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, but still experiencing the issue.

Yeah - Clarsonx, that's a little off topic. We're not talking about the iPhoto iOS app, here -- just the basic "Photos" app and the iTunes sync/transfer process.

I was also having trouble with the basic Photos app and the iTunes sync/transfer process. I was experiencing the same symptoms as everyone else. For me, delting the iPhoto app resolved my problems with the basic Photos app and syncing. That info might help someone else lurking on this thread. And as others have stated here (and in other threads on the web) there seems to be other ways to coax the sycning process to occur.

Same problem here. I've spent much of the day fighting with this, and I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I've had more success one folder at a time, but very few folders fully sync. Deleting the iPod Photo Cache doesn't help.

The thing that seems odd to me is that the iTunes sync stops abrupty - no error message, no "Finishing sync" stage.

I had the same issue. I came up with a work around until they get it fixed. I also attempted to sync selected folders from my computer to my Ipad 3. Only 3 of the 8 picture folders would sync to my new Ipad 3 ( noted after sync, that only a few photos went into these 3 folders, had to redo these 3 folders as process noted below) . I had same issue as noted above. The sync would start and then stop. The selected folder which was syncing would disappear from the Ipad 3. .

My work around: I created a new folder in my Pictures file, copied and pasted the photos in new folder.

I entered the Pictures folder on my computer, I made a new folder and named new folder IPAD3 ABCD

( ABCD was specific name of contents in folder), I then copied photos from original file that would not sync and pasted them in the new folder named IPADABCD. I did this one at a time. I went back and re-synced one new folder at a time. I only had to redo the above list one time for one folder that did not sync after doing this. But all my photo folders are now on Ipad3.

Hope this helps.

Just reporting back - I went through each of my photos/directories, and batch resized them to no greater than 3072 pixels on the long edge. This completely eliminated the problem (over 7000 images now sync perfectly).

How did you batch resize them?

I was having the same problem. It would not sync all of my photos (only 44) and it stopped on different pictures each time. No error, just did not sync all of them.

I batch resized them to 2048 on the long side using Lightroom 3 and they synced fine after that.

Created a preset Export in Lightroom - resize settings set to "Long Edge", 3072 pixels, with "Don't enlarge" checked. Obviously other programs you could find - just Google it.

Have you updated to the latest iTunes?

This worked for me - thanks so much!

It would seem its not the size. I found that even simply rotating the image 90 degress and re syncing, it synced. Then rotating it back (no change in size) and it sync'd.

So, it seems like its just a matter or editing the photo somehow and have it resave is enough.

This only happens on iPad 3. I have setup new iPad 2, 2 x iPad 3, 1 iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S tonight, and its only the iPAd 3's that have the issue.

Same issue here. I hope they fix this soon.
