Problem syncing photos to iPad from Aperture with a merged iPhoto/Aperture library

I recently 'upgraded' to us Aperture instead of iPhoto. One of the features of this was that I could continue to use the old iPhoto library in Aperture, and it automatically configures to Aperture settings - and it works great in Aperture.
The problem is that when I come to sync photos to my ipad, I have the drop down options for iPhoto and Aperture. The Aperture option shows zero photos, and the iPhoto option shows all the complete list of all my photo event/projects (from both my iPhoto days, and the more recent stuff in Aperture); but anything that I have created since moving to Aperture is greyed out and not accessible.
Any clues as to how I can sync the new photos as well as the old ones?
Thanks

Have you enabled the sharing and creation of previews in Aperture? That is one big difference between Aperture and iPhoto - in iPhoto it is impossible to disable previews, but in Aperture you can create previews selectively, see: Working with Preview Images
Check Aperture's Preferences > Previews settings for "New Projects automatically create Previews".
Then select the images with missing previews in Aperture in the Browser and use the command "Photos > Update previews".
If that is not the problem, the iPod Photo Cache or the Aperture library may need repairing or rebuilding, see these documents on how to repair the Aperture Library:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
First try, if a simple repair of the Aperture library will suffice, then delete the iPod photo cache folder. Make sure, that the backup of your Aperture library is current, before try any of this.

Syncing photos to iPad from iTunes

I got my iMac in November 2009. My iMac OS is the latest series 9. My iPad2 was purchased in July 2011. I figured out first sync of photos from an iPhoto album in December 2011. That took a while. It should have been easier. Last night I decided to add some photos to the iPhoto album and sync to add some more photos to my iPad. But iTunes does not seem to recognize the additions to the album. In fact, iTunes has not picked up any events or new photos after 1/12/12. And there were plenty of new photos uploaded from the camera to iPhoto on the iMac. iPhoto says I have some 4250 pics. iTunes only recognizes 4050. I tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache to no avail. I also noticed that when I show the iPhoto Library package contents there is a folder called "Originals". Its last mod date was 1/12/12 (coincidence?) but there are uploaded folders by date within Originals that are dated after 1/12/12. It just shouldn't be this hard to sync photos...it just shouldn't. iPhoto, iTunes and OS are all updated. The only change I can think of is starting to use a new Lumix ZS8 camera.

First launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and rebuild your library with just the option to "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions" checked.
If that doesn't solve the problem create a new album with the same photos, delete the old album and try to sync the new album with iTunes. See if that will jumpstart the syncing process.

Sync videos to iPad from Aperture with Videos on external HD

Hi,
I have the a problem when trying to sync videos with my ipad through Aperture.
When I sync videos which are in the mediafolder on the macbook the videos are perfectly synced to my ipad.
But when I have my videos (and Foto Originals) moved to an external Harddisk the videos don't show up in my ipad (the fotos does).
Seems like one hasn't thought about that function inside aperture to be handled by the sync interface in itunes.
Thanks in advance for your domments and maybe a hint to solve the problem?
Joe

Thanks for your quick response Frank,
this helps to understand the intention on how the applications are programmed, but this is really not very userfriendly How to handle Fotos and Videos if you don't have enough space on your macbook.
Do I have to put the whole mediafolder from aperture to an external disk. Than I don't have the benefit of having a smaller mediafolder on my macbook, without the originals, which I do want to have on an external drive.
Today we're not only talking about external Harddrives, but NAS and iCloud, so I guess this should be optimized then.
But of course this is at the address from apple then, or is there somehow a workaround for that problem??
Thanks fo any help out there

Problems syncing photos to iPad and AppleTV

Hi there,
I have problems where only about half my photos ever show up on the Apple TV or get synced to my iPad.
Before you say, "Click Update Previews" I should point out that yes, I know this will fix it - but why should my Aperture library be swelled to a gigantic size just to sync the photos? I could understand this if I was shooting RAW all the time, but I am not. I am shooting JPEG - so why should I need to make another JPEG to erm .. be able to view a JPEG?! This seems like utter insanity to me.
What is curious is why SOME of the JPEG photos don't seem to need to build previews to be happily viewed on other devices. One theory I was working on was that Landscape orientation ones didn't need a preview, but portrait ones did - but even that seems to be invalidated by some of the photos that do sync. Can anyone offer any insight?
Thanks,
Tony

so why should I need to make another JPEG to erm .. be able to view a JPEG?! This seems like utter insanity to me.
If you have edited your image in any way, you will need to render the edited image to be able to view it, since it will be different from the original.

Syncing photos on ipad from PC-

I can sync a folder from my PC to my ipad- but cannot load more than one album to my ipad- when I chose another album/folder to download all existing albums on ipad disappear. Thoughts?

When I select the parent folder I then get the following selection box :
Below that I am then able to select the folders that I want to sync to the iPad. So I currently have 18 folders selected, and therefore 18 albums on my iPad.

HT3805 Aperture (Current version) won't populate photo place holder from Aperture Library, found one photo that would, what's wrong?

Yesterday 10-4-2011, I downloaded the Aperture App. I haven't gone to my Aperture class yet, but wanted to know why the photo place holder in an email stationary application will not accept a drag and drop from the Aperture library. I did find only one photo that actually did populate, what do you think is the difference with all the rest of my photos?
I did import all my photos and movies to Aperture from the iPhoto Library and then deleted my iPhoto Library.
Thanks

Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

Hi,
iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

Is anyone else having problems with syncing photos on ipad - seems to be fragmenting the events

Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
But weird things happened after syncing.
(1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
(2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
Anyone know what's going on here?
I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
Unsure what's going on ...

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?

Problem syncing photos with Apple TV and iPod

Ever since I connected my Apple TV I have had problems syncing photos with both my iPod and my Apple TV.
The Apple TV gives me an error (no desciption) when I try to sync photos. The iPod gives me an error 39.
iPhotos is working fine. I rebuilt the library using the rebuild library feature and this has not fixed the problem.
I also rebuilt my iTunes library without success in fixing the problem.
How does it sync? Is there some kind of syncing file I need to delete that may be corrupt?
Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try?

Just a suggestion,
for a speedier and better informed reply, post your question in the AppleTV forums.

Itunes will not sync photos to ipad 3 properly

Problems I've had since ipad 3:
I download and install latest itunes
i tell it to restore from backup of my ipad 2 - it fails, it simply does not give me the choice to pick my ipad 2 restore, so i end up doing new setup.
i tell itunes to slectively backup a folder containing 174 jpeg images that synced fine on my ipad 2 but on my ipad 3 it fails
i can see itunes copying the 174 images but when i check on my ipad 3 they are not there. in fact it copied only 3 files.
so i try again. i tell it to backup 6 folders of which contain a total of about 500 images
after sync/copy is done i verify and there is only like 20 images?? where are the rest?
i've tried every possible combination but no matter what it will only copy a few of the files.
anyone else have problems syncing photos? it seems to work fine syncing apps, music just not photos which is my main use of the device since i'm a photographer.
any ideas would be grateful.
i've tried reinstalling
setup my ipad as new and gone thru the whole process
i double checked my jpeg files are they are present in the folder and open up fine.
i just cant get itunes to sync photos properly.

Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

Syncing photos on iPad without deleting current photos

If you sync photos from your pc to iPad using iTunes are all the photos on the iPad deleted if not on the pc?

The photos that you last synced to the iPad will be replaced by your new selection - non-synced photos (i.e. those taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera conenction kit or sawsved from emails/websites) will not be affected, and nor will the photos on your compter.
Synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed be not including them in the next photo sync.

Having issues publishing certain photos to website from Aperture.

Hi All,
I really hope someone can help me with this. I created a new website yesterday and had no problems publishing everything to my website. This included dragging photos from Aperture to iWeb, creating photo albums and such. Late last night, I tried to add a new album with all new photos that were from Aperture just like before. Once I had customized the new album (which is exactly like the other albums, just different pictures) I hit publish and I get an error message every time. It's saying there's a problem publishing because of the FTP and to contact my service provider. I contacted Yahoo Small Business, and after running a few tests on my account, they said everything was working fine on their end.
I thought maybe the pictures were too big, so I resized them to under 1MB, but I still can't get them to publish and am still getting the same error message! The photos are in .jpg format just in case you're wondering. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should do to try and get this working?
I'm totally new at making a website, so please be thorough when responding. Thanks so much!

Are you able to publish the site to a folder on your hard drive? If so then it's not an iWeb problem per se but a communications prolbem with the server.
You might have to try the publishing to a folder and use a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site to the server. I'd get Cyberduck, configure it for your server and see if you can get it to login and view your account folder on the server.
Otherwise you can try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
