iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available.

I've turned my iPhone 4 into a iPod, meaning I only use it to hold music for my workouts. Ever since I've upgraded to Yosmite I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes anymore. I can back it up, but I can't sync. Each time it tells me "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available" I don't want to sync any photos, just music.


I've tried to repair my iPhoto Library, restarted my Mac, restarted my iPhone 4 but I still get his error message.

In iTunes when I select my iPhone 4 > Photos, I just get a spinning wheel.


Any thoughts??

I can't follow the first link since I just get a spinning wheel for photos.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
