I have an iPhone 4 and am trying to sync my photo library from a Windows PC (newest version of iTunes) to the iPhone 4. My entire photo library is 37,000 photos. Divided into about 12 folders. The majority of the 12 folders have under 200 pictures in them, one has 1700 photos and then the biggest folder has 29,000. When I tell iTunes to sync the master folder that the other 12 reside in. It sync's the folders alphabeticly and then stops (as if it finished sucessfully) after getting around 5,000 into the big folder with 29,000 in it. (The 'big folder' is alphabeticly the 4th folder) So it completely ignores the remaining 24,000 pictures in the big folder and the other 8 folders entirely.
If I manually choose 11 of the 12 folders excluding the big folder, it works flawlessly. Then leaving the other 11 still checked if I check the 12th folder (the big one) it will sync around 5,000 of them and then act as if it completed sucessfully. If I tell it to sync again it will sync around another 5,000 and stop as if it was successful. Bringing the big folders total on the device to 10,000. A 3rd sync does not return any results.
I have taken the following steps: Completely un-synced all photos and started from scratch, deleted the itunes photo cache folder. My assumtion is that itunes/iphone is not built to handle folders with more than X amount of photos in it. Please help
