I'm having trouble with the sync step using iTunes. It never seems to recognize the folder Iām trying to sync from. Any tips?
I had the same issue! Make sure the folder is properly selected and that you don't have any other syncing issues with your iPhone. Sometimes restarting both the computer and iPhone helps.
Is it necessary to use iTunes for this process? Can I use any other method?
While iTunes is the most common way to sync photos, you can also use other methods like AirDrop or third-party applications to transfer photos without iTunes.
I followed the steps exactly as mentioned, and it worked perfectly for me! I had to create a new album in iPhoto first, which made it way easier to select the photos I wanted. Glad to finally have my vacation pics on my phone!
I find using iTunes to be quite clunky. There are other tools out there that make transferring photos much simpler and faster.
