I am trying to remove all of the photo albums that have been synced from my computer. I did the "Transfer Purchases" as you suggested, but it does not remove anything from my phone. The only way to remove them, it seems, is to uncheck all of the synced albums and then hit Sync. Unfortunately I always get the "sync session failed to finish" error message. Come on Apple! Seriously? This problem has been around for at least 3 or 4 years now and you still don't have a fix?

no one seems to know the answer on this.


Except that I have this fixed now. ITUNES is not fully functional under win10. You need to activate COMPATIBILITY of ITUNES for win7. After I right clicked on the ITUNES application and selected PROPERTIES then selected the COMPATIBILITY tab, and finally selected WIN 7 it all started working correctly for the sync process.
