Aperture stopped syncing photos to iPad & ATV via iTunes

Out of the blue my iTunes has completely stopped syncing my Aperture photo library to both iPad and ATV devices. In iTunes the drop-down selection for iPhoto and Aperture is there but when I click sync nothing happens. My video, audio and apps all sync just fine. Any ideas? Seems to me this stopped with the last Aperture update.

This happened to me a few weeks ago... exactly as you described. I was able to fix it, but dang if I can remember what the final solution was.
I think I remember turning off sharing completely with each device, synced, then turning it back on and setting it up again. Had to go through the long initial sync to get a couple thousand images loaded back on the mobile devices. But, issue was solved.
Definitely get the latest 3.1.1 upgrade to Aperture 3. This dealt with some "sharing library with iLife apps" issues which very well could be related.
I apologize for not giving a direct answer... but have confidence this is not a showstopper and it can be fixed! I hate being over 50.

  • My iPad won't sync photos from my pc via iTunes.  It did until yesterday.

    I have moved my 7000 photos from one drive on my pc to another.
    I have selected the sync all photos option with the correct folder in iTunes.
    All 160 folders appear as empty albums during sync but then disappear again without being populated with photos.
    I have had my ipad2 for about 12 months and have never had this problem before.
    Does anybody have any ideas?

    I had same problem and after reading these posts also decided to delete the 2 empty folders from my IPad and then tried again.  It is now working.  It doesn't seem to like to have empty photo albumn.s
    I find this ironic because I didn't realize that by unchecking the folders to sync that it would then remove those pictures from my IPad.   Don't understand why it doesn't just leave them there.

  • Sync Photos to iPad - Windows folder to iPad albums

    Hi,
    Would like to ask you, I want to sync Photos to iPad using Windows iTunes. My Photos are organized in folders, will iTunes convert my folders into albums in the iPads after syncing?
    Thanks.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Aperture 3 Syncing to iPhone/iPad Problem

    I'm trying to sync my photos in Aperture (3.0.3) to my iPhone 3GS (iOS 4) and iPad:
    I was able to sync projects, albums, faces, and places perfectly fine to my iPhone, but as of about a month ago, when I select Aperture as the source to sync photos in iTunes (9.2), it shows a very outdated version of my library and hasn't changed for over a month. I've tried rebuilding, and repairing the Aperture database, as well as repairing permissions, but nothing has changed in iTunes. I've also tried creating a new Aperture database, putting photos into that and syncing, but some photos don't sync (all standard JPEGs, and they've synced before so the photos aren't the issue). So far no update to iTunes or Aperture has fixed this.
    I don't do anything special in Aperture other than import photos from a CF card, directly from my Canon 40D, iPhone, iPad, etc. I did originally import all my photos from iPhoto, but I had no problems syncing or anything like that. I think one of the Aperture updates messed up iTunes ability to recognize the current library as it's stuck on this old version.
    Help is greatly appreciated,

    I have been syncing from Aperture via iTunes to my iPad since I purchased it. It has had options such as: "Selected projects, albums, and faces and automatically include 'projects from the last 6 months'" and "include videos".
    Apart from videos, everything has worked. I got all the albums I selected including the photos, and all the events from the past 6 months (which appear as a separate tab - events - in Photo viewer on the iPad). Video has never worked though, I never see any of the videos transferred - I do suspect the format in that case though, perhaps Aperture sharing doesn't convert the format, even though they work in iMovie.
    However, yesterday, as I was syncing, I noticed iTunes say "deleting photos..." now all photos are gone, except one album - the "***" (5 star) one from Aperture. I have tried rebooting the iPad, restarting the Mac, checking other applications can see the thumbnails from Aperture, removing "Sync photos from Aperture" then re-enabling. And nothing. All I get is the one album and no events.
    It has been working for months. I have not updated iTunes in the last few days, nothing I can tell has changed, however none of my albums are now being installed. There is zero feedback. It says it works, no errors, nothing.
    Any ideas?

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • AVI videos from iTunes don't sync/play on iPad, but via Camera Connection Kit - YES

    I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3.  NONE of the avi files transferred, but then I kinda expected this as I understand iPad can only play m4e or MP4 video formats.
    BUT then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine!  I'm going to redo this -- the 58 second video appears in the videos section of my iPad under "movies".
    Can anyone explain why this worked via the Camera Connection Kit but not via iTunes - and indeed why the avi file plays at all on the iPad? 
    Thanks.

    Johnathan,   -- I wrote this below in bold then the discussions site went down for maintenance and then Menneisyys and Kiwiphone4 replied and I think they are confirming what I'm saying here (only a bit more technically correct).
    Thanks for your comment – but my issue is not with pirated or other movie video from the www, rather (as Menneisyys points-out) with videos I take with my Nikon Coolshot camera.  What has perplexed me is this:
    I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3.  NONE of the avi files transferred---
    BUT:
    …then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine!
    Why on the same iPad with the same .avi video does it transfer via the CCK and play on the iPad, but not via an iTunes transfer.
    PERHAPS THIS?!:  The .avi movie NEVER MAKES IT into iTunes because iTunes cannot play an avi movie; therefore if it is not there, it can't be transferred.  That must be it or something like that.  (The avi movie I transfer from my Nikon is in iPhoto - and it plays in iPhoto - but since photo and video transfers to the iPad go via iTunes, and iTunes apparently can't bring-in avi, then it cannot act as the "bridge" in the way the CCK does.
    Is that it?
    Thanks everyone for any comments.

  • Hi,  iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.   Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

    Hi,
    iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
    Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
    Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Can not sync photos with iPad or iPhone after upgrade to lion

    I upgraded to lion and now i get an error message saying could not sync photos with Ipad as they can not be viewed on the ipad.  I lost everything when i upgraded and had to reload all my files using a new user. Now i cant sync my photos with my ipad or my iphone.  some come over but only about 10% of the photos.

  • HT4113 My Ipad has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer only set up by my apple id, when it asked to connect to itunes i turned it off, when turning it on again it asked me for a passcode. I never set up a pascode, now I am locked

    I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • My iphone 5 stopped syncing photos to FB. I've tried all the set up directions but none work.

    Iphone stopped syncing photos with Face Book. I've tried all the set up directions but none work, or don't follow what is said they will follow (no directions pop up when I select syned from iphone in pictures)

    Thanks! I called Apple, and we did a software update. While the phone now will light up and work for about 30 seconds before going dark again, the representative said I would probably get a replacement phone if I took it in. You are right - probably a hardware failure!

  • How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes?

    Hi
    I want to be able to sync my iPad with both iCal on the iMac and Outlook 2010 in Microsoft Office 2010, installed in Parallels 7.  What happens is that when I connect the iPad to the iMac (USB) it syncs directly with iCal via iTunes.  How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes as well?  Do I have to download and install another copy of iTunes in Windows 7 in Parallels?
    Appreciate your help.
    Kind regards
    Alani

    Don't think that's possible as iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.
    Is there a specific reason you're using Outlook?

  • ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

    iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
    The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'....  I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces....   I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
    Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
    If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
    I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    John Jones

    The photos won't get lost.
    You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
    Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
    Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Can't sync photos between iPad and Mac OS X since updates

    Just updated OS X and iTunes, now got message that "iTunes will no longer sync photos to iPad" - sounds like Apple is trying to force me to pay for iCloud photo sharing. Any way to avoid that? I loved the previous easy sync approach.

    Have a look at this:
