Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"

I had the same problem, but just found a solution!

1) Using a browser, access your iCloudDrive.

2) Click "Photos", causing an automatic preparation (for Jobs know what).

3) Sync your iOS device.

That's it.

I hope this will help you all.

I finally solved my problem.

I opened the file "Aperture Library 2.aplibrary" in Aperture, deleted the Photos library that was created when I migrated my images to Photos, and went back to using Aperture. I'm also evaluating Capture One to eventually replace Aperture.

I had the same problem after upgrading to El Capitan and tried all the various tips in this thread in vain. Why helped me though was to deactivate AntiVirus... I am using ClamXav and when stopping ClamXAV Sentry, the sync went through just fine.

Now, turning off the antivirus in general is not a good idea. So, I configured it to just leave out the photos library folder, which helped without compromising general antivirus protection. So, please check if your antivirus may also intervene and scan the photos library.

sorry, did not work for me... :-(

Before the solution I wrote above, a preparation process seem to be needed.

0) Delete all photos on the iOS device (by syncing with your computer with the photo syncing option unchecked).

A user from another thread solved this problem using my way, so I think it's worth trying. 🙂

Just followed these directions and after almost a week of regretting downloading all of the new software required to sync my iPhone 6s,

IT WORKED! 😀

So easy. Thank goodness I didn't have to try all of those steps previously posted that did not work (no offense to posters.) Hope it works for you!

This was my solution:

'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

To untrust all computers, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.

First untrust, then connect your iphone, click trust computer and photos will automatically work again.

Thank you Jorge . This method worked. Much gratitude .

Best Regards.

As weird as this sounds, I think it has something to do wt either an IOS 9 update, or possibly a manufacturing problem in a couple of devices. This is only speculation, and I understand that Apple will take this post down as soon as they see it, but hopefully some users wt the same problem will see it, and also reply. When I updated to IOS 9, I immediately got touch screen problems. I brought my device to the app store, and they swapped it out. Well not exactly, I still had to pay $160 out of pocket, because the device was out of warranty. The device they gave me, was the exact same one, and they told me I had to get the same color. For all I know, it could be the same one. I got home, and decided to download the latest update for the device. Immediately I noticed some lagging touch issues. Nothing terrible, but I had used my previous device for two years, so I could tell they were there. Before going to the app store, I created a backup of my device, in case they determined, in case it had to be replaced. I got home, and tried to use my latest iPod backup. Guess what? When connected to this suppossably new iPod, 'no' backup could be located, either in iTunes or the cloud. I had created several new updates to the cloud several weeks ago, and had made an iTunes backup this morning for safe keeping. Still when I connected this new iPod tonight, and went to saved backups, it claimed there were none. I also checked iCloud, and it also said their were none created. So I am getting pretty upset by now. I decide to reload my music library, & iPhoto library, through iTunes. The music library seems to have gone into my iPod, but not the photo library. I have a rather large photo library, so I didn't want to put in in the cloud. For some weird reason 4 of my photos, out of 100's, did import. There is either something seriously wrong wt this IOS update, or perhaps only wt certain devices. Maybe the ones wt problems are being made improperly, or the IOS designers are rushing to get the software developed. No matter what the problem is, apple will unfortunately be using a whole lot of customers, if they continue working like this.

I tried what you said but mine is still the same

This worked for me, thank you!

I had the exact same problem and found out that I had never replied "import" to the import photo screen in iPhoto. I went from "photos" in my iPhoto account to "import" and clicked on "Import 383 photos" and voila! Sometimes the best answers are the simplest ones!

See iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your photo library is not yet available. Please try again later??

Downloading iTunes again solved the problem for me. I left the iPad plugged in: at the end of the download the iPad was successfully synced.

iTune 12.3.1.23 before and after the download. I suspect a cache or preference file was refreshed by the download.

Thank you JorgeBarMza

your method worked for me.

I found the same problem after the installation of MacKeeper 2015

So, my solution is

1-uncheck and recheck the photos

2-close MacKeeper 2015
