There is something seriously wrong with the way that these pictures are being sent to the iPhone. Could it possibly be the way that they are prepared for the iPhone by iTunes? Is anyone else having this issue?

UPDATE – Potential Solution

I haven’t yet tried this, but I just read a post that states the iPhone and iTunes do not always “get along” with the Windows NTFS file system. For some odd reason, this hasn’t been an issue when I sync my songs. Anyways, it was suggested that in order to get your photos to sync, you first transfer them to a 2nd hard drive that is formatted with a FAT32 file system. If you don’t have a 2nd hard drive, you can try using a USB thumbdrive, or something similar – anything that has a FAT32 file system should work. Next, point your iTunes to sync from the new pictures folder on your FAT32 drive and everything should work smoothly.

Step by step example (We’ll use C:\Documents\Pictures as our default photo directory, swap this out with your actual photo directory. We’ll use F:\ as our FAT32 formatted drive.):

  1. Copy all pictures from your current NTFS formatted drive C:\Documents\Pictures to F:\Pictures
  2. Open iTunes and select the new folder that you want to use to sync photos to your iPhone – F:\Pictures
  3. Sync your iPhone and everything should work smoothly.

I haven’t yet tried this solution, so please let me know if this works for you!
