Photo sync problem

[Hornpiper]

I have tried syncing photos from my computer (Win7 OS) from the native My Pictures files and from Picasa. I have tried doing all folders and individual folders. The sync starts with it telling me that it is optimizing the photos and the volume bar shows that it is importing a large group of photos. As soon as the optimization ends and the import begins, it imports one photo, the volume bar drops out and I wind up with only one photo out of 1165. I have tried everything to get it to work but this happens every time. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

I finally figured out the problem and it has nothing to do with the iPad. I went into each individual picture folder properties on my PC and unchecked the box that says "Read only" and then clicked "Apply". I then synced the pictures using the select individual folders option and every photo synced to the iPad...FINALLY!

Hi Karin - welcome to the forum! But chuckling that a nearly 4-year old thread help you out - spring of 2011 was when the iPad 2 was released - if you still have an issue, please start a new thread in the appropriate forum - a LOT has changed since that original posting. Dave

I realised the thread/post was old, but the problem and solution are still current and I was very glad to find it
