Users of iPhone photo sync, Aperture, and stacks

For those who use Aperture and the stack feature, do you have the same problem as me when syncing to your iPhone?
Here is the thing:
Stacks in Aperture are used to group related pictures (usually variants of the same picture). In a stack, you then choose the best picture of the stack and identify it as such. This picture is then the only one that is shown in an album once the stack is closed.
Now if you sync such an album, containing stacks, to your iPhone, the problem is that all pictures in the stack, and not only the best one, is displayed in your iPhone album.
(Note that I also posted this under the category "iPhone" in this forum.)

More info:
This problem exist not with sync of albums on iPhone/iPad, but when syncing SMART ALBUMS.
If you sync a smart album that contains a stack of pictures, all pictures are put on the iPhone (not only the best picture of the stack as it should).
Please let me know if you have this problem (or not...)

How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge. I am using Photoshop CS6. Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

Error -50 - Syncing iPhone photos with aperture

Hi,
The facts:
OS - 10.7 Lion
iTunes - 10.4
iOS - 4.3.5
So when I updated to Lion and iTunes 10.4 my photos from Aperture will no longer sync with my phone. I get the error (-50), which to my understanding is a time out error. Now when I sync with iPhoto it works, no error.
Any help with getting my iPhone to sync with Aperture would be appreciated.
Rob

Found this link that works the first time you sync, but give me the same error the next time I sync.

ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method. My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option). I cannot. Please see the screenshot I took:
Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos. So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message. Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

Why did my iPhone photos get deleted and can I recover them?

An entire album's worth of photos were deleted and I want to know why and if I can recover them.
I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 6, iTunes 10, PC user. Under "photo albums" I created a new album called "job photos" which I've been moving photos to as needed. Today I took a bunch of picutures at work with my iPhone, and before I got to my computer I moved them over from the "camera roll" to the "job photos" album, then deleted the originals in "camera roll". Everything worked fine until I synced the phone to iTunes.
Up until today I've been syncing a folder on my PC with a bunch of photos to my iPhone. In order to save space on the phone I unchecked the "sync" box to stop syncing those photos. After the phone was done syncing not only was my PC album gone but all the photos in my "job photos" album were gone too. ***?
Why did this happen and is there a way to recover the photos I just lost? My iPhone wasn't backed up so I wouldn't be able to do a backup recovery. Please help.

You lost the photos because the actual data is in Camera Roll. When you see pix in albums, it is by virtue of pointers to the actual storage in Camera Roll. Otherwise, you would be using up storage by creating albums. SO, do not delete from Camera Roll until you have copied to your PC.

Transfer iphone photos to aperture

I just got the iPhone 4S and want to transfer my iphone 3GS photos to aperture so I can edit them and put them on my iPhone 4S.
Problem is, since upgrading to iOS5 (I sense this is the problem), APerture won't recognize my 3GS or my 4S for that matter, as cameras.
How can I get Aperture to recognize my phones so I can import?
Thanks!

I was having a similar, but not identical problem. I just moved from a 3G to 4S, and the automatic Aperture photo import process now seemed to be broken, though I could still do it manually.
*Still using Aperture 2.1.4 (haven't had cause to upgrade thus far)
*iTunes 10.5 (latest as of this post), set to sync the phone w/Aperture
*OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
*Not using iCloud/Photo Stream syncing form the phone; I am sticking with the sync cable until I get Lion
I've found that Aperture only mounts the phone & prompts for import of new photos when I first connect the phone using the cable. Subsequently hitting "sync" in iTunes while the phone is connected will not mount the phone in Aperture. However, it's possible to manually import photos to Aperture by hitting "Import". The only caveat to this is that Aperture will not see/prompt for the photos taken since the sync cable was plugged in. I.e., if you take a new photo with an unconnected phone, connect the sync cable, decline Aperture's offer to sync that new photo, then take a 2nd photo while connected, then tell Aperture to doa manual import from the phone, it won't see the 2nd photo. You must eject the phone from iTunes / disconnect and reconnect the cable for Aperture to see the 2nd photo.

Importing iPhone photos into Aperture?

Hey, I moved my iPhoto Library into Aperture and consolidated or whatever it's called, so I've made the full move I think to Aperture, since iPhoto is really bloated and I like Aperture more, so I deleted my iPhoto Library.
Now in iPhoto, it sort of made it easy for my to just plug in my iPhone and import any new photos, ignoring whatever I already imported, and it would save whatever photos I took to a corresponding date/event, and then it would also put those photos in a smart album for my iPhone.
Now I'm still new to Aperture and I want to know how can I plug in my iPhone and import new pictures into Aperture which would put it as a new event, ignoring whatever I already took because right now when I do Import it shows all the current pictures taken with my iPhone, and I only want whatever picture that hasn't already been imported, and then it would put them in my iPhone 3GS smart album (pics taken with 3GS go there).
Is there any way to do this? Aperture is a really neat program and I've already set it up with iTunes to sync the photos back to my iPhone.
Here is a screenshot of my current setup on Aperture, I'm still a bit confused on how to do everything on this so I am learning! All the help given will be very appreciated

There is a Check Box on the import panel that gives the option Do Not Import Duplicates. Ensure this is checked. Allan

IPhone Photo Sync Issues

I have an iPhone 4 from 2011 and a MacBook from 2009. It's been a couple months since I've plugged in my phone to update/sync, and it won't allow me to access any photos! It synced my music, apps, etc via iTunes but wouldn't sync my pictures. Since it usually just opens the iPhoto icon when I plug in my phone, I decided to open the app myself. It acknowledges that my iPhone is plugged in but doesn't use my iPhone by it's name and says that there are no pictures on it. I've tried to go in through Preview - File - Import from Apple iPhone but it says there aren't any pictures on there either. I promise I'm not crazy; there are pictures on my phone! Any idea how I could get them to sync onto my computer? Is it a computer issue or a phone issue?

I decided to eject my iPhone & plug it back in one more time... And it worked! Not quite sure what happened originally but I'm glad it seems to be fixed now.

Do iPhone photos sync to Lightroom Mobile in Original Quality or Smart Preview?

From my iPhone, I want to get the original (high quality) photo from my camera roll into Lightroom on my desktop. Currently, I am doing this by having Dropbox read my camera roll, and using WiFi, sync all new photos to a Dropbox folder. Then, when I launch Lightroom on my desktop, I have watch folder setup that imports all new photos sync'ed from Dropbox into Lightroom.
I recently downloaded Lightroom Mobile, which has the ability to import any new photos from the camera roll directly to Lightroom Mobile. I have set this up to sync to Lightroom on my desktop with my Lightroom Mobile. From what I have read online though, Lightroom Mobile only syncs "smart previews", not the original image. This make sense for RAW files as they are huge, but what about regular JPEGs?
My question is, if someone sets up Lightroom Mobile to sync in this way (from iPhone camera roll -> Lightroom Mobile -> Lightroom Desktop), does it sync the original (high quality) photo to your desktop, or just a Smart Preview? I am wondering if I can now eliminate the Dropbox syncing, and just use Lightroom Mobile instead.

When you import photos from your camera roll via Lr Mobile, then the original will be synced to Lr Deskop. But when you open up the photo in Lr Mobile you will see a smaller kind of smart preview. Hope that answers your question. - Guido

Why can't I import gps data from iPhone photos in aperture 3

I have an iPhone 4 (it's already an old model!) and why can't i still not import GPS-data from photo's on my iPhone 4 in Aperture...
Importing photos from the iphone just goes fine...

Richie:
But do you see the GPS of the iPhone data in Meta data section of the Inspector (set to a preset that shows GPS), as Frank Caggiano asked?
If the images do import the EXIF data, then you should be able to lift and stamp the GPS coordinates. I do that freuently.
Select on of your iPhone images and lift the sata
In the lift&stamp HUD deselect everything but the GPS coordinates, like this.
If no GPS-coordinates do appear in this setting, then your iPhone images do not have the EXIF info required, and you may need to check the iPhone settings.
If you see the EXIF data, then you just need to select the DSLR images that were taken at the same location and you can stamp the EXIF data to the DSLR images.
And after that you should be able to see their locations in the Places view.

IPhone photo sync interrupted to iPhoto now won't sync pics!

I was on vacation and syncing my photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro while I lay in bed. At some point my MacBook went to sleep (I believe) and the photo syncing from iPhone to iPhoto was interrupted. Now both devices believe the photos were synced but they weren't and now the pictures and videos are taking up much needed room on my phone. What do I do to get these to sync???

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Why won't my iPhone 4S sync contacts and calendars with iTunes on my Mac?

I've checked settings on both and they seem fine. Music and photos sync fine but not calendars and contacts. Any ideas?

Hello RMC1,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If the issue is limited to Contact and Calendars not syncing, even with the correct settings, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes via USB, you may want to try resetting Sync Services (which is limited to this specific function in Yosemite) and re-enabling your sync-related settings afterwards, as outlined in the following article:
OS X: Resetting Sync Services - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

Iphone photo syncing question

I'm trying to sync my photos from my iphone4 to my pc. It syncs everything but the photos. It shows it's syncing the photos, but then shows "0" photos. I cannot find them in any folder on my computer. Any ideas?

I am experiencing this problem too. My Laptop got stolen in a burglary. I now have another Laptop running XP and I have downloaded iTunes. I am now trying to sync my iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 (SL1) and I will then upgrade to the latest IOS version.
I have run the sync which appears to have worked but when I go to the chosen folder on my PC there is a file called iPhone Photo Cache with nothing in it.
Has anyone experienced this? I am now concerned the iPhone has not synchronised and I will loose my data if I upgrade to IOS 5.
Can anyone help?
