    Are you using a PC or Mac?

    Normally the sync process only brings across new images

    What steps did you take? Any error message?

    I have this problem too but it all started when I replaced my old iPhone 5 with the new SE early this year. I been looking around for solutions for quite a few months now and glad to see I am not the only one.

     

    It seems like each time I try to sync, only a number of pictures/photos are being synced, some already on the iPhone is removed. I've checked all the settings and have even updated/restored/reinstalled both iTunes and iPhone - I am on the latest software on both iTunes/iPhone.

     

    I don't want to use iCloud as I never had with my old iPhone 5 and would rather keep photos to myself than upload them online.

     

    Would be grateful if someone could help. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. Thank you.

    Im on pc win10, but I've never had this problem with win10 before.

    it doesn't give me any error it just ignores the pictures like they aren't there

    Sync your photos manually with iTunes

    You can set up iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the Photos app, or from a folder on your computer. Each time that you sync your iOS device with iTunes, the photos and videos on your iOS device will update to match the albums on your computer. If you have photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that aren't on your computer, follow these steps to import them.

    1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes on your computer.
    3. Use the included USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.
    4. Click on the device icon in iTunes.
    5. Click Photos in the sidebar.
    6. Click the box next to "Sync Photos." If instead you see "iCloud Photos is On," all your photos and videos are already on all of your devices that use iCloud Photo Library. You don't need to sync them through iTunes.
    7. In the drop-down menu, choose the app or folder that you want to sync from.
    8. Choose to sync all photos or selected albums.
    9. Select "Include videos" to sync the videos from your app or folder too.
    10. Click Apply.

    You must import Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos through the Photos app or Image Capture in OS X Yosemite or later for their effect to be synced via iTunes. You can also sync Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos when you use iCloud Photo Library.
