I'll share what worked for me when I had this exact problem today. Solution is from apple.stackexchange.com.


Deleting

~/Pictures/iPod Photo Cache
and emptying the trash did the trick for me.

Detailed steps

  • Quit itunes.
  • Go to your home folder in the Finder
  • Go to the pictures folder
  • Move "iPod Photo Cache" to the trash.
  • Empty the trash.
  • Open itunes and run a sync


I hope this helps someone.

I tried all the above solution and none works for me.

-iTunes 11.2.1

-iPhoto 9.5.1, with iPhoto library on Synology NAS

-Mac OS 10.9.3


However, I imported my iPhone photos to iPhoto as usual, organised Albums, then manually drag individual Albums to desktop, under different folders. Then I choose "import from folders" option in iTunes and it works. Now at least I have photos from Mac to iPhone under different albums like before. Hope Apple can produce a fix to this problem soon.
