iTunes not able to sync photos

I want to sync photos to my iPhone from iTunes. It's done it in the past but now I can see that under photos in iTunes I can't choose Photos (or Aperture) as an option, just my Pictures folder.


How do I fix this please?


Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

Hello David,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. I know how important syncing your pictures to your iPhone is to you!

If I understand correctly, you are unable to select the Photos app in iTunes on your Mac as part of the iPhone syncing process. Let’s start with these easy steps to help resolve this issue:

1. First, restart your Mac, as well as your iPhone.

2. Next, make sure you have all available OS X, iTunes and Photos updates installed

OS X El Capitan: Keep your Mac up to date

OS X El Capitan: Install, update, and uninstall apps

3. Then try your sync via USB again. Make Photos is open while iTunes is open, before you connect your iPhone.

Cheers!
