Q: iTunes does not sync recent photos from Photos.app
I have an iMac 27 running 10.10 and iTunes that syncs (problematically) with an iPhone 4 running 1OS7
Before Photos.app iPhoto kept the multiple albums synced immediately with the phone and an iPad. Now most recent smart albums don't update correctly.
I have an smart album of images taken in the last 7 days, currently it contains 2 images, iTunes shows it as having 55 images within it: none of which are taken within the last 7 days.
All of the smart albums I sync with the phone have accurate image counts, or contain the same images as the corresponding albums on the Photos application on my iMac.
I've tried deleting, and re-syncing.
I've tried adding new albums and new smart albums and these don't show up in iTunes.
I've reselected the Photos library, and I think this might have worked for a short while, but hasn't forced an update of smart albums since.
Any ideas folks?
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

(Check the images have gone)
Quit iTunes
Quit Photos
Actually, there is still one step missing in your long list.
The application processes may be cached to be resumed, when you quit an application. It has been this way since MacOS X 10.7 (Lion). To be sure that Photos and iTunes will clear the cached data and read the modified Photos library and recreate the iPod Photos Cache the only way is to restart the Mac. You were lucky, if it worked without restarting the Mac. Sometimes quitting will suffice, sometimes not.
Quitting an application does not necessarily quit it. It is just a hint for MacOS X, that we currently don't need the app running.
