Photos - "Photos cannot be modified" error

image-5.png

Description:

The following error message appears while importing or deleting photos from iMazing:

"Operation failed. Photos cannot be modified on your device because it is currently synced with a specific photo library, such as iPhoto or Photos"

 

Solution:

iTunes is configured to sync your photos with the iPhoto or Photos Mac application, but needs to be configured to sync to a folder instead.

1. Set iTunes to sync Photos with a folder (not with the Photos app).

2. Sync once with iTunes to change the sync mode from 'Photos' to 'Folder'
