iTunes 12.2.3.17 with iOS 9.3.1 is not syncing some photos on PC & Mac
I just bought a new iPad Pro 9.7". When trying to restore it from previous iPad backup about 80% of the photos and videos (15000 photos) did not sync. Once iTunes got a photo it did not likes - it just abandoned the sync.
Only after syncing folder by folder I actually managed to sync about 90% of my photos and videos. In each folder I had to find the ones that iTunes does not like. In every folder there were some photos that iTunes does not like to sync. Previously I was under the impression that is GIF related because I renamed gif to jpg and iTunes synced them. But it was only some of them.
I managed to sync full folder of mostly gif pics in which some jpeg and jpg and png did not sync. From some reason TIF and AVI are not welcome anymore too.
So to summarize: iOS 9.3.1 has a bug because all the folders were synced to my iPhone 6s and my iPad Air just 3 weeks ago without any problems when I restored my iPhone and updated my iPad to iOS 9.2.
I hope that Apple will fix it in the next iOS release.
In the meantime if you have photos on any device do not sync through iTunes because it will destroy them.
BTW - I am using PC with Win10 and latest iTunes 12.3.3.17 64bit but the same problems are discussed in iTunes for Mac https://discussions.apple.com/message/30016183
iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Pro 9.7", iOS 9.3.1
