Ever since I installed iTunes 12 my phone takes forever synching … it seems to get hung up on the "reading photos" step. Previously, it would just synch new photo additions, now it seems to read the entire library each time, taking more than an hour. Worse, it won't add albums I've created in my Pictures folder, even though the files are checked in the Photos synch area. Any advice?

Hi Perry,

Thank you for waiting!

Can you try performing a software restart?

Hold the phone power button until you get a slide to power off.

clise it and the phone will go off

Hold it again to turn i back on.

Let me know if this will make a difference on the synching.
