iTunes sync stuck on step 5: Importing Photos When I'm trying to sync my iPad 4 (iOS7) using my Macbook (Mavericks) it stucks on the stage "Importing photos". It was syncing for more than 9 hours with absolutely no progress until I cancelled it. There are around 500 pictures to import.

The cord is good. USB port works well. I have the most recent iTunes, iPhoto. Already tried to rebuild iPhoto library. Nothing helps.

Please advice.
Deleting ~/Pictures/iPod Photo Cache and emptying the trash did the trick for me. 

Just to be clear,


Quit itunes. 
Go to your home folder in the Finder
Go to the pictures folder
Right mouse click on "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" and choose Show Package Contents
Move "iPod Photo Cache" to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Open itunes and run a sync
