Hello, I need some help.
PROBLEM DETAILS:
I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.).
I can sync photos from folders other than iPhoto. Also, I can import photos from my iPhone into iPhoto. The problem seems limited to syncing from iPhoto to my iPhone.
This started when I was having problems syncing only a few photos. After trying to create duplicate versions, I followed the steps for removing the iPod Photo Cache. (I have had that issue in the past, and this same process resolved it then.) It was after this process that no photos would sync. This issue does not coincide with any hardware or software upgrades.
The iPhone appears to have about 2 GB of free space, and I am working with about 300 MB of photos. (I have tried syncing a single photo, and that also failed, so I don't think it's a storage issue.)
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First by syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then unplugging the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the iPod Photo Cache folder, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and then trying to sync again.)
In iPhoto, I opened with option+command to repair permissions, repair the database, and even rebuild the database. (Rebuilding eliminated all photo ordering in my albums.)
Since the problem appeared to be with iTunes recognizing photos in iPhoto (showing "0 photos" regardless of what is selected), I tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from Time Machine, reverting to a version when syncing photos still worked (prior to deleting the iPod Photo Cache).
I have also repaired permissions on my entire iMac drive.
I do not use Aperture, but I also tried deleting the ApertureDatabaseTimestamp file under iLifeSharing.
I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
