Photos app on iPhone not syncing in iOS 11

Exactly. The iTunes sync problem remains unsolved. And, frankly, Apple may never solve it as they make theor margins now selling iCloud services, and not the phones. None of the serious photographers, professional or amateur, in this thread will want either the reduced file sizes or the sever limit on the number of images associated with Apple's iCloud consumer product. e

That is my point. Apple will support processes that require purchase of large quantities of its iCloud and other web services, and seemingly has abandoned those of us who relied on iTunes for photo sync between devices and MacBooks. I have a NAS drive for backup, and now with a Note 8 and Surface Book can achieve my needs outside the Apple ecosystem.

For Windows PC users it seems that we would have to delete iTunes and all their dependencies and reinstall it ? I think it is what you did with your iPad. Don't you think so ?

Does anyone who has iTunes installed in a Windows PC has try to re-install iTunes ? Thanks in advanced.

It shows a small white circle and not syncing. If I completely erase and clean install the problem don't exit. If I upgrade and keep my old data the problem appears. It's also same - when I try to set an image from iCloud shared library as a wallpaper. Again - a small white circle, wait for ever and don't move. I also tried to save image into folder or in image from iCloud shared library - It's not able save image locally.

I continue to have the same problem when I try to sync 18,000 images from my MacBookPro to my iPad Mini 3 using iTunes, as I reported earlier. None of the updates has addressed this specific issue. I do not use iCloud or Photos for this sync, as is the case with most of us with extensive collections of large files.

Im having this issue too, Photos have not synced since the end of September despite iPhone and Mac being on latest versions of relative OSes.

I don't want to wipe device as i have a friends wedding and other important photos taken in that time, at least a few hundred photos at risk.

I updated both the MacBook Pro and iTunes this evening, as well as the iPad Mini 3, all to the most recent updates, and still the same problem transferring pics from the MacBook to the iPad via iTunes -- only about 1,500 of the 20,000 I am nolonger getting the error message saying there is an internal problem on the iPad, but the result is the same. Most of the folders are named with "0" pics in them. Waste of time.

Still not fixed with Windows iTunes 12.7.1.14 and iOS 11.1 on Ipad mini 4.

Same issue : my library have about 12000 photos, internal error message appears after ~800 photos transfer (via USB)

Where are you Apple support ?!

Still not fixed with Windows iTunes 12.7.1.14 and iOS 11.1 on iPhone 5S. Exactly the same thing. No photos on my iPhone Synced folders. No sync new photos. Not possible to delete already synced photos to re-sync everything. Should we wait for 11.2 ? or Should we buy an 8x ? Very disappointed ! AAAPPPLLLEEE SUPPORT ! When ? When this issue would be corrected ? When ? !!!

Afraid this issue has not bee

n fixed with the updates.

I have had this problem for several weeks now and had support from Apple case No. xxxxx

I have never used iCloud for my photos but keep them synced via iTunes with my iPad Air and also iPhone6s.

My 15000 odd pics have presented no trouble up till now.

Now, the ipad fails to sync and I have only been able to get 8000 photos back into albums on my ipad.

Apple: why on earth do we need a software upgrade to giv us 70 more emoji when you cannot rectify a major issue with your hardware and the software which run them.

I am getting rather tired of wasting my time trying to do unsuccessful syncs.

It is embarrassing. I also explained to Apple Care: we are using only Apple hardware, even the USB cable comes from Apple, all the software is from Apple... but perhaps most importantly, Apple wouldn't allow any other mechanism for sync (direct USB transfer from disc to disc for instance) other than iTunes - so it has to work! If Apple would give us more mechanisms to achieve the same thing we wouldn't be so impatient.

A bit drastic having to set up from scratch again...I for one am not keen for this solution as it means setting up all Apps again, saved details including passwords and log ins for secure pages etc.

there has to be an easier way to restore syncing which worked perfectly until the OS change

It appears that Apple intends to support syncing through iCloud subscriptions and not directly through iTunes. As I mentioned, I has so much trouble with this last summer with my 6s iPhone that I have upgraded to the Note 8 and love it. I stihave my iPad mini, which was my primary photos display tool, and it is now a brick useful only for watching iTunes movies. If this is not fixed, I expect the Apple TV will be the only Apple product I will use in the future as we have a great deal if iTunes video content.

Im having the same issue, and in fact I lost a lot of my photos when I upgraded to 11.1. Checking them on iCloud showed they were all low res versions that were no good to anyone. The strange thing is 3rd party apps were displaying these just fine.

Anyway, as from a few days ago none of my iOS devices are syncing any photos. I have more than enough storage space on the devices and on iCloud. In fact as I pay for this iCloud fiasco I’m shocked that Apple allow this to happen with a paid for service.

ive always stuck with Apple as ive always boasted to others how the photos and files all sync together. Now I feel stupid and nothing more than a disillusioned fanboy.

Apple had me for a few years, and now they purposely mess things up. I wont be restoring my devices, as that’s not a fix, i also wont be keeping them for much longer as enough is enough. Looking at the various threads it seems Apple are going downhill with so many bugs and issues.

so disappointed in Apple. First, my pencil won’t sync via bluetooth to ipad. THen the ’I” gets a weird symbol and box. Now my photos don’t sync between iPhone and ipad via cloud.. I honeslty am disgusted with Apple now, and especially ios11......... They never seem to help. Just rush the product out with so many bugs....Microsoft and Google will capitalize on this crap to the moon and back. #sosickofapple
