Photos app on iPhone not syncing in iOS 11

It’s on your iPhone (account) not in iTunes.

Excellent idea!

I had reported the problem before, but now did it again. It's best to do this after every update, until Apple brings out an update that resolves the bug.

8 months later, I had my first successful sync on my iPad Air (16k photos and about 200 albums) with iOS 11.4 beta 3. Maybe the bug is finally solved.

John... what OS are you using and have you upgraded to IOS 11.4 beta? It does work if you're on OSX High Sierra.

Apple have absolutely done it this time.

i have had no trouble importing my camera photos into Mac photos until I did the latest update for my iPad.

it now does not use the device I connect to my iPad to import my camera photos.

i am now totally unable to import my camera photos and absolutely disgusted with the way Apple are treating their users.

why are the directors getting massive bonuses? When we are left unable to use their products as they are advertised to be used.

where is the fix for the photos issue that hS been promised for the last 3 months?

Totally disillusioned with Apple/Mac and their iOS

Ugh! I have had this issue off and on for months now. The latest is happening right now. Photos have not synced between my iPhone X and iPad Pro 10.5 since early yesterday. I don’t understand why it works sometimes and doesn’t work other times. All I know is it’s aggravating for something that is touted as “seedless.” I’m running the latest software. I don’t get it.

Sad isn't it. I worked for Oracle, and we would test the **** out of every function of a new release, via extensive test scripts often for a system with only 100 users. Apple should have discovered this using a basic test script and held back the iOS upgrade.

Apple looks bad for this. I am advising persons not to get new iPads, which was once a wonderful product worth waiting in line to purchase.

I agree. That said, with all the knowledge "they" have, you think it would be a speedy fix.

One could asume it's something major due to the length of time the issue has been ongoing.

Let's hope they don't have to reinvent itunes to fix it.

What are the chances they're about to separate photo sync from itunes such as what happened with the app end of things.

Who knows

No, it hasn't. Nor it was in 11.1 11.2 or 11.2.1. Very disappointed... Apple has been anything but accurate recently and as I am thinking about changing my phone I think i will switch back to Android which has become almost as reliable but far less expensive. Bye Bye apple !

The craziness and complete lack of Apple response continues and is damning.

Without any expectations (based on the great posts of others) I just gave sync a few shots - what a disaster! One album that has 275 pictures in it synched as follows:

Attempt 1: Apple 8+: 27 pictures and iPad Pro: 56 pictures

Attempt 2: Apple 8+ 110 pictures and iPad Pro: 75 pictures

Attempt 3: Apple 8+ 94 pictures and iPad pro: 124 pictures

Grrrrrr....

I posted something simular and received an email stating that my post boardered on a rant.

What it came down to was me suggesting the Samsung syncing and photo platform was better.

Be careful what you post.

I don’t think that there is anything wrong with my post. My family and I have been Apple users for years, and I have been very patient with this issue; however, Apple is not currently meeting my needs.

Hi Gary and others

I do hope you are right. For the past 3+ months I have been waiting!!!

updates have been promised from senior consultants and I am still waiting. I am sick and tired of being told this and believe it is not on Apple’s agenda as an important issue.

The Apple name has been severely tainted by this glitch and I for one would choose other platforms when next I update my hardware.

Don’t hold your breath!

Same issue for me.... Completely sporadic syncing of photos via iTunes to iPhone and iPad. Sync will hang, albums don't appear even though photos are there and you can search for the album, random "people" albums show up... a complete and utter mess. The beginning of the end for Apple. So many issues!

Strangely, I don't have this issue anymore (running iOS11.2.1 and iTunes 12.7.2), all photos are synced as it should but now that iOS11.2.2 released i don't know whether to upgrade or not, I don't want the issue to come back and haunt me again. Anyone who has tried syncing photos with iOS11.2.2 please give some feedback. Thanks!
