Aperture 3.5 issue syncing to iPad & iPhone vs. Apple TV

Hi. Longtime user of Aperture, since v 1.5, and iOS, since the very first iPhone. I'm currently on the latest versions of all software, for Aperture, Mavericks, iOS and AppleTV.
I have several hundred projects and several hundred smart albums in my Aperture library, and I've always enjoyed being abe to display my photography by syncing to my iPhone, my iPad and AppleTV. I have never found the iPhone and iPad syncing to work to my satisfaction, but ultimately I've been able to get it to pretty much work. I'm now struggling with an issue that I cannot resolve.
Everything syncs fine with Apple TV.
However, when syncing via iTunes to both my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2, I get all sorts of issues - in that many pictures simply don't sync. For instance, I have a smart album called "Favorites - People" - but only 125 of 162 pictures in the Aperture smart album appears in the iPad album. For my "Favorites - Great Outdoors" smart album, only 42 of 53 appear in the iPad. I'm having these kinds of problems in many, many of my smart albums.
I've done the following to try to resolve the problem:
-rebuild Aperture library
-repair Aperture library
-update all Previews
-delete iPod Photo Cache
-completely restore iPad and iPhone to factory settings and start again.
No luck. Any suggestions?

Don't have any solutions to offer, but I sympathize, because I have had that occur in the past. A few images simply refused to sync from Smart Albums, for reasons which completely eluded me. Very frustrating!
The problem seemed to have resolved itself, but I always suspected the problem was mainly with the system-wide media browser (whatever it's called).

Photos will not Sync to iPad, iPhone or Apple TV.

I am not able to Sync photos, on my iPhone or iPad, when cabled to my iMac. I have checked "Sync Photos from iPhoto" and the photo albums (within iTunes) show zero photos.
Also, not able to view photos on Apple TV. I have gone to iTunes File>Home Sharing> "Choose Photos to share with Apple TV" and checked the desired albums. The photo albums (within ITunes) show zero photos.
I have already backed up Photo Library, ‘Repaired Permissions’, Rebuilt Thumbnails, Repaired Data Base and ‘Rebuilt Database’.
Any solutions ?

Try rebuild the old library - but note the caveats:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

I have been unable to sync my ipad, iPhone or I touch since the iOS update....help!

I have been unable to sync my ipad, iPhone or itouch since iOS update need help!

Hi Vanzalone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Are you using a Mac or PC? And, remember iOS 7.0.4 is currently the latest iOS version. You may need to update iTunes.
Good luck,

I have synced my iPad with my Apple computer. Can I now view all this information on my computer and how do I locate it?

I have synced my iPad with my Apple computer because I do not want to lose all the information (contacts, photos etc.) I have on it in case it is stolen or breaks. Can I now view all this information on my computer and if so how do I locate it? Thanks.

You can also backup to iCloud; see what is backed up.

HT5824 I want to sync my iPad with my Apple Air. How do I do that ?

I want to sync my iPad with my Apple Air. How do I do that?

If you mean using iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad (requires iOS 5 or higher), sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account, then turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud. Then go to System Preferences>iCloud on your MacBook Air (requires OS X 10.7.5 or higher), sign in with the same ID and check the data you want to sync with iCloud.

How do I sync my iPad to my Apple TV

How do I sync my iPad to my Apple TV?

You don't. You sync your content on the iPad to iTunes, and ATV reads from iTunes.

FAQ: How do I export a movie for YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV?

When you export your movie, choose H.264 as the format and then choose the appropriate YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV encoding preset from the Preset menu.
See this video for instructions for using the new and improved encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5:
Adobe Media Encoder Improvements

I figured out one way to do it.
I don't know if it's the easiest.
1. drag the movie from iPhoto into the iTunes movie folder.
2. in iMovie- go to "file- New Event". Name it.
3. go to "file- New Project". Name it.
4. click the iTunes button on right"Show or Hide Music and Sound Effects browser"
5.Scroll down until you see the iTunes icon and expand the triangle if not already expanded to reveal the "Movies" icon. Click on it.
6. Find the movie in the list below and drag it to the new event.
7. edit and/or drag it to the Project window.
Go to "Share- YouTube..." follow the prompts.
It will process the movie and let you post it to YouTube, and give you the option to share it.

Internet Explorer 11 bookmarks not syncing with Ipad/Iphone

Hello. I have an Iphone 5 along with an Ipad Mini. Both are updated to the current IOS 7.1.1. I am using Internet Explorer 11 on my Toshiba Laptop for syncing booksmarks and such through Icloud to my devices.
I am having an issue with the bookmarks on my Toshiba laptop syncing with my Ipad and Iphone. Both my Ipad and Iphone book marks sync together in perfect unison, but my Internet Explorer bookmarks do not sync.
What I have tried:
Shut down/Restart all devices
Turn off safari in Icloud for Ipad/Iphone
Restarted internet application on all devices
Unchecked, then rechecked the box for syncing bookmarks in Icloud
Deleted synced bookmarks on Ipad/Iphone, then re-added them through Icloud
Once I delete the synced bookmarks, the bookmark tab on the Iphone/Ipad are empty, but once I sync them back up, the old bookmarks come through.
My main goal:
I want my Toshiba laptop bookmarks to be the exact same as my Iphone/Ipad bookmarks. I want my Ipad to be the center of attention essentially, followed by the Toshiba laptop and the Iphone, meaning I want the Ipad to be the base for all the bookmarks, then the Iphone and Toshiba laptop can follow suit and take the bookmarks from the Ipad and transfer them to the laptop and Iphone. Currently, I have many of the same bookmarks on both the Toshiba Laptop along with my Iphone/Ipad, but the more recent add`s/deleted on either Iphone/Ipad or Toshiba laptop are not syncing.
Any help is appreciated.

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

ITunes 12 WiFi Sync with iPad/iPhone not working

Previously with Mavericks and iTunes 11, my iPad and iPhone showed up in the side bar and I could sync from the either device. With Yosemite and iTunes 12.0.1.26, neither device shows up in iTunes 12 (That I can find). Hitting Sync Now in General/iTunes Wifi Sync on an iPhone results in a continuous "Looking for John's iMac" without ever succeeding. My iMac is connected to a current gen AP Extreme via Ethernet. I have also enabled WiFi on the iMac with no luck.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
TIA
John

I too have been having this issue for some time. For me it's after I upgraded to Yosemite. I also have an old MacBook running Lion that syncs with my kid's old iPhone4 over WiFi. I noticed that the MacBook has no problems syncing with the iPhone4. Meanwhile, my iMac running Yosemite was having other problems. Namely, its computer name keeps getting changed by having (#) appended to the end after every sleep/wake cycle. See this thread for an explanation of the symptom: computer name changed automatically
After doing some research on here and some experimentation on my own, I came up with this possible fix.
We have 3 iDevices that sync to the iMac (Yosemite). Two of them are connected to it by USB at night. The other (iPad Air) is strictly WiFi. As of the Yosemite upgrade, the iPad Air has had issues connecting to the iMac via WiFi. So today I checked on the iPad and sure enough in WiFi Sync prefs it was looking for "MyMac (3)" instead of "MyMac". I made sure the computer name on the iMac is fixed (MyMac), then connected the iPad Air to it to initiate a sync. In WiFi prefs, it now correctly points to "MyMac". I disconnected the iPad and quit out of iTunes. I relaunch iTunes and it promptly shows all 3 iDevices. I can also initiate a remote WiFi sync from within iTunes.
I'm not sure if the computer name change issue originated in Mavericks because I didn't use it for long. But for Yosemite, this seems to have fixed it for me and it beats restoring all my iDevices. Let me know if this works for you.

Music no longer syncs to iPad/iPhone

Hi,
As the title suggests, music will no longer sync to any of my mobile devices (iPad Mini, Summer 2013, current iOS 7; iPhone 4S, Feb 2012, current iOS 7). I've reset the factory settings, and restored a back-up and allowed the content to re-sync. This has successfully put my books, apps, photos etc. back onto the devices, but syncs 0 songs. Only songs purchased from the iTunes Store appear.
That lead me to think the fault was with my iTunes library, and so I removed the most recent additions. However, the same problem persists.
While syncing, it gets stuck on 'Copying files over' or similar, and never completes the sync.
Additionally, since the factory reset has now caused 14.54 GB of 'Other' content to be on my iPad which was not there before and is not in my iTunes library (what even is 'Other'?). As a result, I now can't sync my iPad at all, due to being 'Over Capacity' (32GB).
What should I do? My iTunes has over 2,000 songs, and I would be reluctant to make an entirely new library. Other tricks such as turning off Wi-Fi and iCloud syncing have not been sucessful.
Thanks! :-)
NB: The 'Product' drop-down box doesn't list iPad Minis as an option, so I've put it under iPhone 4S instead.

Spoke to Apple Support over online chat.
Solved through resetting iTunes Library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Quicker and easier than I thought. Can keep playlists if you copy the original Library. :-)

ICloud photos in albums not syncing to iPad, iPhone. How to fix?

Hi folks,
I have iPhoto '11, an iMac running Lion, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 1. The iPad and iPhone are both running iOS v5.0.1 .
My problem is that when I take photos on either device, and they go to Photo Stream, I can copy them to albums, but they will *not* sync into that album on iOS. There's 100 photos in one of my albums, 40 of those are iPhone photos or screencaps from my iPad. Only 60 photos make it onto my iOS devices. iTunes shows only that 60 photos - i.e, the photos that I imported into iPhoto, not the ones from Photo Stream.
Is there something I need to do to make this work, or is this a bug?

GarageBand can only sync from iPad to OS X, not the other way around.
You can, however, sync back to an iPad if the project was originally created on an iPad.
Some edits you did in OSX may not be seen on your iPad.
Opening an iPad-version in OS X is a bit awkward.
First, on your iPad tap and hold the file you want to send to iCloud.
As soon as the icon of your song starts to wiggle, tap Upload to iCloud.
In OS X go to File / iCloud / Import GarageBand for iOS
It can take some minutes before you can see your project.

Wi-Fi connection issues with my iPad & iPhone

I have a Linksys N750 Wi-Fi EA3500 router and up until a month ago, I never had any issues picking up a wi-fi signal through out my entire home. When I'm in my bedroom which is on opposite side of the house from where my router is,my wi-fi signal is strong on iPhone, however I can't search the internet, stream movies on Netflix or listen to Pandora. I'm also having the same issue with my iPad 2 and never had this issues a month ago. When I take my windows based laptop in my bedroom, I have no issues and the upload / download speed is fast. Please advise.

Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

HT1670 I've synced my ipad & iphone to my mac but i don't see my contacts on my address book on my mac? Using mountain lion as my os if that matters. New to mac so I need simple instructions please.

Issue Syncing Music to iPhone

I'm posting in this forum because after searching off and on since the iPhone 6 released, I haven't been able to find a fix and I know I'm one of many who are experiencing this issue. I purchased my iPhone 6 (128GB, Verizon) on launch day and since then I've had the same issue syncing my music to my iPhone from iTunes on my PC (first iTunes 11, now iTunes 12). I always keep my devices and iTunes up to date, so I know that is not the issue.
The issue is, when I try to sync my music to my phone (I have roughly 50GB of music) it will sync most of it, but not all. When I check my phone, some of the music is there and some is missing artwork that should be there. When I try to resync, it gets stuck on the last step and either takes music off or continues to show the music, but if I try and play a song it'll skip to the next working song. Syncing a second time DOES NOT WORK. I've tried restoring my phone, and that works for the first sync. But if I try to sync it again some other time when I've added more music to my library it removes some of the music once again. This is extremely annoying because not only do I have to either restore my phone or clear all music through General > Usage but I have to also wait half an hour for all of my music to sync. And even when I get it all to sync, I can't add anymore music except for music purchased directly on the iPhone.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a fix for this, but have any of you guys found something that worked for you? When will Apple fix this issue?

iTunes 12.1 is very unstable, as is iOS 8. There are just bugs with music management and syncing, simple as that. I have run into a number of issues, especially since 12.1. Music doesn't sync over at all, the device's library gets corrupted, album art disappears, etc.
A quick glance around these forums shows that a large number of people are having the same problems. iTunes and iOS are just extremely buggy, and our only recourse is to wait for software fixes.
