I've been trying to transfer photos saved onto our computer onto our new Ipad 4 32gb to no avail. From Itunes I clicked "Ipad", then went into the "Photos" tab, checked "Sync photos from" and chose the folder with the pictures. To the right it'll say "x" photos ("x" stands for a number above zero). I then press "sync" and it says at the top that it's copying the photos, however when I go back to my plugged in Ipad, the photos are not there. Restarting the Ipad doesn't work. The photos are in JPEG format.

I've noticed something though, I decided to take several photos (3 in this case) and copy them. I then made a new folder (titled "new folder") and put that into program files. I then went back to Itunes and selected that folder in the photos tab. After syncing, the photos still weren't there. However, I noticed that when I went back to that folder in itunes, there was another folder called "Ipod Photo cache" with many more folders inside of them. All of these folders were empty. I also noticed that when I went into the photo tab and went into "new folder" it said it was empty (this was before I synced and before "Ipod Photo Cache" appeared). I researched a bit on what Ipod Photo Cache was but I'm still at a loss as for what to do. Could someone help me get photos from my desktop to my Ipad?
