Error shown while trying to sync IPod

Asked By jessielucyy 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/20/2012

 

Hi all,

I keep getting this error when I try to sync my iPod. "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPod because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." It will sync maybe half of my library and then give me this error.

I've NEVER tried to sync photos, nor do I want to sync photos. I just want to sync my music. The box for "Sync Photos from ___________" is NOT checked. It has never been checked. I never used to have any issue syncing my iPod. I have uninstalled and re-installed and still haven't had any luck.

What can I do to fix this?

Please give your suggestions.

Thanks beforehand.

Hi,

Firstly, make sure that iTunes is linked to a folder to sync your photos. ITunes might be trying to check your file directories for where your photos should be synced with just in case you enable that option.

You should try doing the following steps: 

1. First, make a new folder. 

2. Then specify that for photos under photos tab.

3. See whether it is working now.

If it doesn’t work even now, then make sure that folder is empty. Then check the box to sync photos.
It should work now.

Hope it works

Hi Jessie,

                Here are the things you can try to do:

1. Try to set up a new folder on your mac and then copy some of your photos in there and then try to choose the new folder and then sync it with iphoto.
2. Delete the iPhoto iPod cache found inside the Photo folder.

If you have this error when you try to synchronize your iPod with your computer, try deleting the photo cache folder then see if you can synchronize after that. There are two ways to delete the photo cache folder. You can delete it using a third-party application called “CleanMyMac X” or do it manually. The easiest is using the application.

Download the free version of CleanMyMac X and install it. Once installed, start CleanMyMac X then on the left pane, select “System Junk” and click “Scan”. When scanning is complete, click “Clean”. This removes all junks from your computer. On the other hand, if you want to remove only the photo cache folder, click “Review Details” once scanning is complete before clicking “Clean”.

Uncheck everything except “iOS Photo Cache” then click “Clean”. After this, try synchronizing your iPod with your computer again then see if it works. If you want to remove the photo cache folder manually, open “Finder” then navigate to your “iPhoto Library”. It is normally located in the “Pictures” folder. Next, press and hold the Control button then click “iPhoto Library” and select “Show Package Contents”.

Now, drag the “iPod Photo Cache” folder to the “Trash” then empty the Trash afterwards. See if this works.
