Problem synching iPhoto library with iPhone

I was using OS X Lion synching my iPhoto library with my iPhone 3GS with IOS 4 and everything was working perfect.
When I updated to IOS 5 start the problem, because doesn't sync all the photos. It's leaving around 100 photos without synchronization.
At the end of any sync process (regardless if I do it through wifi or USB) show a message saying that was unable to sync certain number of photos.
Any sugestions?
Thank.

Have you tried deleting some data off...may be some music/videos (as long as you have them backed up elsewhere)? I'd try clearing off a couple of GB & then try syncing the photos again. I had the same issue a while ago...it said that not everything could be synced...I was fairly low on HD space but not near zero etc.

Synching issues library with iPhone 4

Hi I have an iPhone 4. I had some books in the library so I deleted them and re-synched the iPhone and restarted it and the books are no longer showing in the library but I can't get rid of them from the iPhone? Any ideas about this? Thanks. Steve.

-In the Sync menu, choose the Books tab.
-Check the box next to "Sync Books" then select the bubble next to "Selected books."
-Don't check any books, or uncheck any books you already have selected, so that it says "0 Books" next to the "Sync Books" checkbox.
-If that all looks good, hit Apply and let it sync.
That should replace the book library with a blank one. Once that's done, just uncheck "Sync Books" and Apply. Or if you have certain books you still want to sync, recheck them and Apply.

Anybody having problem syncing iphoto albums with iphone 4s?

in itunes its showing the photos are on my phone but they arent. when i restart itunes it goes back to the amount on my phone. also ever since i aded the album to be synced my phone hasnt been able to sync to my computer. my system is up to date. my iphone hasnt been plugged into any other computer. my old iphone 4. sadface.

Turn Off the icloud synch on all devices
Determine which device will be the inital source of contacts and add all the desired contacts to it. When you are done, turn iCloud synch back on for that device
Remove contyacts fort the other devices, then
Turn iCloud back on for contacts on all devices
It may take a little while for the synch to complete

HT1386 Never have had a problem synching both of my iPhones with my PC, specically Outlook files, and now having a problem.

Never have had a problem synching both of my iPhones with my PC, specically Outlook files, now having a problem. It goes thru the whole process and shows completed, doesn't add any recent events posted to my PC calendar. Should I delete and reinstall iTunes?

think the current itune version removed the feature and that you should use iclouds to sync your outlook stuff and your ios
but read they will be adding the direct sync from itunes again in the next version of itunes or something like that
for now just use icloud it's free and easy to setup

How Synch iphoto events to iphone via itunes

You're welcome.
Selected iPhoto albums are transferred to your iPhone but not selected iPhoto Events?
If so, try delecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. This will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your Mac.
Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos making your selections below followed by another sync.

Opened iPhoto Library with version 8.1.1 now can't open with version 7.1.5

Is there any way to open my iPhoto library with the older version?
If not, how can I import the photos out of the old into the new? Where do the photos live?
I am trying to avoid updating iLife bc I need to use my older version of iWeb. Maybe it's possible to upgrade iLife without changing version iWeb? bc when I use new version of iWeb with older domain file it keeps coming up with error msgs that say it can't save certain objects.
Thanks.

Afraid not.

This is possible, but it's a lot of work. Some things that are easier: updating iLife, restoring from your back up.

Yes you can do a customised install and not update iWeb. Alternatively you could just try and solve the iWeb problem. Have you posted it on the iWeb forum?

How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

This is the part I'm referring to:
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
The library stays in the Pictures folder for this.

How to share an iPhoto library with an iPad?

Hi everyone. Just wondering how do you share an iPhoto library with an ipad over a network? I want to use my ipad to browse photos when I'm at home over my network since I can't fit all my photos onto my ipad. I can't seem to figure it out. Help is appreciated!

You can not - they have nothing in common except the name - you can share photos using PhotoStream - you can not sare an iPhoto library

I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.

launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos in Aperture. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

Should I create an Aperture library and import all of my photos from iPhoto to the new Aperture library? Then delete my iPhoto library entirely? Just trying to get my library structure correct from the get-go as I plan to shoot only in RAW.
That is not an easy question. There are still a few glitches with the unified library approach. For example, the new iWork applications will not yet show the Aperture library in the Media Browser, only the current iPhoto library. If you are using iWork with your photolibrary, keep it an iPhoto library.
And it is unclear, what will happen, when Aperture or iPhoto will be upgraded to newer versions. Right now you need the latest iPhoto version to be able to upgrade older iPhoto libraries, if you want to open them in Aperture. So probably you will need to upgrade iPhoto as well, if you keep your library an iPhoto library, when both Aperture and iPhoto will be upgraded to Aperture 4 and iPhoto 12.0 or similar. In the long run it will be safer to convert the library to an Aperture library, if you do not want to keep updating iPhoto, but that can wait.
If you want to convert the iPhoto library to an Aperture library, back up your iPhoto library.
Then create a new Aperture library (with File > Switch to Library > Other/New ) and then import your iPhoto library into Aperture using the command "File > Import > Library" and select your iPhoto library.
You will need plenty of space on the drive with the new library. Merging a library into another one will temporarily a lot of working space and may take a long time - several hours for a large library, without visible progress.

How share Iphoto library with Aperture 3?

I would like to know if it's possible to share the iphoto library with aperture 3 without duplicate the photo. could be possibile to modify one photo with aperture and view the correction with iphoto? is it possible to have one library for the same and open it with one or the other sofwtare?
thanks a lot,
V.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
is it possible to have one library for the same and open it with one or the other sofwtare?
It's not possible.
iPhoto cannot understand the Aperture Library.
Some things you can do: Have two separate libraries pointing at the same set of photos.
Share the Aperture Previews with iPhoto.
But there is no way to have edits made in one Library show up in the other automatically.
possibile to modify one photo with aperture and view the correction with iphoto?
Aperture is not an pixel editor like Photoshop, you cannot use it as an external editor for iPhoto.

Managing iPhoto Library with multiple accounts

I want to share my iphoto library with multiple user accounts on the same machine. Any suggestions how to do this so when new photos / events are added & created they are accessible to all?
Thank you.

I have another question, do you know anything about using the "referenced library" approach instead? Would this work better?
When you use a Referenced Library you are responsible for file management of your photos, not iPhoto. So when you say "work better", what do you mean?
How to do it:
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
What Happens:
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
Some things to consider:
There are a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Combine iPhoto library with two sessions.

On my new iMac, I made tree sessions and would like to combine the iPhoto library with two, non Admin sessions.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Do you mean merge libraries?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my new computer?

How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my computer?
My photos that I lost from my computer at the weekend are still on my iphone but I don't want to lose them and would like them back on my computer.
Help very welcome.

The photo sync is one way only - computer to iphone.
Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
When pics are synced to iphone they are reduced in size/quality. You can e-mail them to yourself, but they will never be of the original quality.
