iOS 11 photos not syncing to Ipad

Seems I am trying to sync as well, I do have a lot of photos, but never had a problem before. My ipad air's battery stopped taking a charge,, so I had to buy another ipad for 100 dollars. Trying to get it to update photos and music. I get a message saying my ipad cannot be synced. An internal Device error occured. I called Apple 5 times, about 6 hours on phone, they can't solve it . Great work Apple. Am told they are working on it but for 1000 bucks, they need to work faster.

Same problem here. IOS 11.2.1 update doesn't fix it. Thought it might. Never did like Photos app anyway as I can't organise photos as as I want to but no app really better. My photos app on the iPad is now just scrambled, so useless. Will reluctantly use Google Photos now. Apple keep doing this stupid thing as with their move to iTunes 12.7

Syncing to my 7800 images Photos library to my iPhone X with 11.2.1 worked fine. However syncing to my iPad Air 2 also with 11.2.1 fails miserably with internal errors all the time. Need an urgent fix for this.

Ever since I went from IOS 10 to IOS 11, I have not been able to upload to the ipad. I mad Apple aware of this issue back in October 2017 and received word yesterday still no fix on this problem. I have an iPad mini 3 with 128GB storage; typically i have over 10,000 images ( I am a photographer). Since I have upgraded, I have been only able to install about 100 pics.

I have researched other Apps most of them have bigger issues as well. It would be great if Apple didnt try to make all iPads obsolete.

Recommend you make yourself heard. I am telling all my photographer friends about this problem and hopefully Apple will possibly dedicate and engineer or two to fix this problem.

No. I did read an article in the business/tech section of a newspaper. Apple in its next version of IOS, will be addressing fixes rather than new features. My last discussion with the Apple engineers 3 days ago. Confirmed no eta on a resolution. The only method that does work for me is iOS which my daughters iPad she never upgraded. So in the interim, using hers. Apple engineers/management refuse to roll back to iOS 10. Not sure why since on a MAC computer, it’s can go back to a prior OS and it’s done at the Genius Bar. Too odd for me that a large corporation will not acknowledge a problem or offer a rollback

I got a different answer to the almost 8 different people I spoke to. One guy told me that Apple was aware of the problem, and was working on it. He never called me back. I finally got a second Sr. Consultant, and he determined it was a software problem. My problem started with my iPad's battery not keeping a charge. That iPad was working perfectly and I was able to sync, and add photos without a hitch. When I took that iPad to the Apple store with the battery problem, they "sold" me a $99.00 replacement iPad. That's where the problems started with not been able to sync, and getting error messages, saying internal device error occurred. That was November of 2017. After countless phone calls and no one able to help, I finally got someone who said they would replace my iPad without a charge. I went to the store to pick it up, and guess what? They didn't have it in stock. So I am waiting and hopefully will pick it up this week. Then I am hoping that I can sync all of my photos and music. Time will tell.

Unfortunately replacing the battery and /or iPad will not fix the problem. Apple engineers (2 of them) acknowledge is a software problem including the battery not charging. If you hook up the iPad to a wall, instead of your computer- check to see if it charges. There are many photographers like myself who upgraded to iOS 11 with different models of iPads who are not able to upload all pics. One friend had all 3 sizes of iPads and same result. I am Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave right now. If he were alive today, this would have been resolved ASAP.

APPLE is doing NOTHING!! Tthey replaced my iPad, and this is the second one and I still can't sync photo's. It starts and stops. I am so disgusted with Apple. I was working with a rep. He no longer responds to my emails. If someone from Apple reads, this, I would be glad to talk to you about my situation.

My rep did call me. I will say he was kind, tried to help, but it is beyond what he can do. I was told the engineers are working on this, but they are not working fast enough. Again my Rep was great. He was sick, so that is whey he didn't respond within a day. So I am ok with that, but Apple Engineers, get your rear in gear and fix this problem.

Same problem than you. 6 months after updating to ios 11 my iPad air 1 is still not usable for app photo... I called them during 2 hours for nothing... Did you find a solution to fix the problem?

I agree with you. This wouldn't have happened if Steve Jobs was around. This is not the Apple I knew.

Very true. Many of my photographer buddies feel that Apple wants to push all date including images to their cloud. I just have too many and large photos to be feasa

OK! Thanks a lot! This is what I thought too... I'm going to push them again...
