Re: [iPad] iTunes photo sync weirdness

 


I am hoping NOT to have to completely erase and reinstall everything as new.

Actually, that might be the easiest way.  But beware - it still might not work.

I'm very glad I don't have to depend on any of these gadgets - with any software and hardware - for real, life-and-death work.  They're all impossibly complicated Rube Goldberg devices.  We expect them to malfunction. And it will only get worse.  One shudders to think.

But, since for me it's all just fun and games, I'm going with the flow and enjoying it immensely 😎

I have an iPhone 6+ and and iPad "Baby Pro", both with 128 GB of storage.

On my Mac, I have a directory with selected photos, mostly in sub-folders, to be sync'd to these devices when I perform my regular cabled sync.

For reasons I cannot fathom, the complete selection of images has properly synced to the iPhone, but not to the iPad, despite the settings within iTunes being identical, and despite there being about 50 GB of free storage space on each device.

I do NOT do anything with Photos in iCloud (option is UNchecked in Preferences).

I've tried re-booting the iPad, with no apparent effect.

If I UNcheck "Sync Photos" in iTunes, I am given 2 choices:
"iTunes will no longer sync photos to [this iPad" Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPad?"
<<Keep Photos>>     <<Remove Photos>>

If I <Keep>, then when I later turn "Sync Photos" back on, the remainder of the designated photos still do NOT sync.

If I <Remove>, then the existing ones do NOT disappear from the iPad, nor do the missing ones appear when I turn "Sync Photos" back on.

Has anyone any useful suggestions?

I am hoping NOT to have to completely erase and reinstall everything as new.
