new MBP iPhone 4s with ios 7

same issue, iphoto on external hd to my TC

new mac book pro

itunes syncs all except photo-- tabs spinning ball---- won't sync albums wont even show albums just a blank page with beach ball

back in 2012 there were threads about this because of "&" in the data or song, album name an update helped them

but i've got all the updates

won't show in apple tv either

i can see all my photo's in iphoto

sharing on in iTunes

others had the same issue

I've got this same question too. Deleting the iPod Photo cache seemed to help temporarily, but then the issue came back shortly thereafter.

Macbook with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.3, iphone 5 with IOS 7.0.3

Photos are synced, but not my Music.This is happening since the latest update a few days ago.

I am reading a lot about similar Problems of this kind, and it's hard to believe, that they are having such trouble introducing their new OS. Emberrasing actually.

Hope they will fix it ASAP

Same Situation here. (MacBookPro with latest OSX, Latest iTunes, Iphone 4 with IOS 7.0.4

My iPhotoLibrary is on a NAS.

On the begin i though my library was corrupted, so i created a new one and put only a few small album on it (3 Events with approx. 300 Photos). Then i tried to connect my iPhone for a sync and the PhotoTab was normal. I had the possibility to choose what Photos i want to sync.

Happy on that result, i loaded more Photos in the new Library....

Now i have approx 7000 Photos and 😮 no more Options on the PhotoTab.. Only a white screen with the spinning bar..

Does anyone have found a solution?

my solution was to put the photo album back on my MBP keep it local and back it up external

itunes itself is ok on a network drive (mines connected to my TC)

not iphoto they need to fix that and upgrade TC

what's the use if you have to eat up local storage

not very functional as more and more get ssd and offload files.

Hi everyone... I am having the same issue. Did anyone find a solition for this.. I was not facing this issue earlier with my 5s but after i changed my handset, i am facing this issue.. I am sure there is a way to tackle this. can someone help

Same here. Super large Aperture library on TC. iTunes just shows the spinner in the iPhone 5 Photos screen.

iPhoto doesn't work like iTunes on an external ---HEY APPLE FIX THIS MORE ARE USING EXTERNAL DRIVES TO STORE STUFF

as i said above i had to move my iphoto BACK to my local drive

another solution but still "local" would be to load onto a SD card load into your MBP sd slot

i'm considering this as sd cards get cheaper

or get a usb 3 external and attach to the mac

i got a 1 TB usb from samsclub for $64 came with a free 16gb flash drive

its sloppy but iPhoto must be local in or attached to your mac

i saw somewhere that a company has a compact flush mounting sd card adapter for the mico sd that fits flush to the MBP

i'm watching the sd card prices

also since its "part" of the mac storage will be backed up with time machine as is your hd

i sure wish time capsule had usb 3.o and could see all attached drives

Same here: beach ball.

OS X at 10.8.5, iTunes at 11.1.4 and iPhoto at 9.4.3, running on MacBook Pro 15 , end 2011 edition.

Same problem: iPhoto library moved to Synology drive.

Works fine with iPhoto itself.

But can't believe what I'm reading: this should be an issue with iTunes and can only sync photos when they are stored on a local (or at least locally connected) harddrive ?

I can only second Eugene: "HEY APPLE FIX THIS MORE ARE USING EXTERNAL DRIVES TO STORE STUFF"

Nor can I believe that noone from Apple is commenting on such a major problem.

No, end I will not move any of my stuff (fotos included) to the iCloud. Guess why I did not (and will not) update to Maverick !

Perhaps you should concentrate your efforts more on product development than on marketing. But while Apple is already asking me what my verse will be, here it is:

"To Apple:

What a friendship for so long

with ties that grew so very strong.

You helped me and I helped you.

That is what good friends always do.

But slowly, slowly creeping in

was on you immortal sin.

Call it "hubris", call it "pride",

which to employ, I can't advise,

but friendship did no longer guide

your plans for service and device.

Despite my will you tie me in

to things that to you profit bring.

Is what you do still planned in kind

With needs of others high in mind ?

Or are we, as on me it dawns,

in your game but minion pawns ?

All this in mind I must conclude,

and by no means I mean it rude:

if friendship only helps but one,

beware of it and run, run run.

Instead of loyal, I'd rather be smart

and will from Apple soon depart."

I've got the same error even if my library is local.

Yep same here and both my music and photos are on my laptop. Doesn't look like Apple is doing anything about it either given the longitude of the comments.

Personally iPhoto is the worst applicaiton in their stable...

the iphone 5c, can not be synced ,with my I mac 10.9.3.

unkown error occurred ,(1723).

this is the message I get ,when I connected to synced as every day.

what can I do?please?

after long long long time without working the spinning wheel is gone. Today iTunes synced my iphone with my iPhone (biblioteca in NAS).

Latest Mavericks update and latest iTunes updade.

good look for you all
