Until recently i could synch photos between my ipad and imac. Today that option has gone, when i turn on sync in itunes there is only the option to sync folders.
In another post I saw a suggestion to select my photo library as system library in itunes preferences, but that option is greyed out. I only have one photos library.
iOS 12.4.1, macOS 10.14.6, iTunes12.9.5.5.
Hey, Colin.
I see that you're no longer able to sync your photos between your iPad and iMac. You're only able to sync folders, and I'm glad to help.
Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all of your devices -- If you've turned on iCloud Photos, your photos and videos should sync directly from iCloud to your Mac if you've turned on iCloud Photos there as well. Otherwise, you should still be able to sync your photos, and the steps are under "Sync your photos manually with iTunes".
Let me know how that goes, and take care!
Thank you for getting back to us, Colin. I'd like for you to contact Apple Support at this time.
Apple - Support - Product Selection — After selecting this link, choose Music, Apps & Services > iTunes Player > Syncing with iTunes > Syncing manually. Then choose how you'd like to start the conversation.
Cheers!
Yesterday I installed an update to macOS 10.14.6 that appeared, and today I upgraded the iPad to iPadOS 13.1.1 and the photo library synchronises again OK, this problem is fixed.
Where is the option "Sync your photos manually with iTunes"?
It's not in any of the iCloud preferences, Photos or iTunes preferences tabs
Can no longer synch photos to ipad, only folders
