I don’t get iTunes. I am a huge fan of a TV serie on BBC. I found some great wallpaper graphics on their website and the web. I just wanted to transfer these images to my iDevice. And when I fired up iTunes to do that (because there is no other Apple recommended way of doing so) things went south quickly. See following screen…
I selected (for a test) 1 photo and wanted to sync that to the device. See what happened. Out of the blue iTunes killed all my apps, reorganized all apps, reordered all apps icon positions on the device and did NOT sync the photo. Huge success!!
tl;dr – use PhotoTransfer Mac App

DO NOT BUY ANY OF THOSE PRODUCTS. IT IS SNAKEOIL AND DOES NOT WORK.
Why do I blog this? Because I lost an hour of my lifetime in trying to achive what I wanted and nothing happened other than iTunes creating a mess on my device. So do yourself a favour and use the right tool for the task. Thank me later!
