Better iTunes photo sync with Aperture

iTunes quite reasonably doesn't copy Rejected photos to an iOS device through iTunes.
I'd like to set the bar higher, and only have it copy (say) 1-star or better photos, so that I don't have to reject photos just to stop them appearing on my iPad. Is this possible, somehow?
The other issue is that even though a certain album is arranged by date, on the iPad the photos appear arranged by version name, which is not a useful order. If I move an image then move it back again, the order becomes Manual, and then that is transferred to the iPad - but that's a bit crude.

It would be OK if didn't want to keep my photos arranged on the iPad too, but I do.
You can make one Smart Album, set the parameters the way you want, then duplicate it in all of your other Projects. Here's s tip on how to do that easily:

This is certainly helpful but still more painful than it needs to be. In order to get iTunes to only sync (or share to an AppleTV) these smart albums, I have to switch iTunes into "selected albums only" mode and manually add the new smart albums as I create them. Doable but unnecessarily tedious. I really just want to say "sync/share all my projects" but apply a filter.
The filter could be just rating based (e.g. "only photos that are 2+ stars" etc) or they could go all the way and support all of the same criteria that smart albums have. I would be happy with just the rating based filtering. Same for iPhoto, for that matter.
Alas, I hold no hope that this will be added anytime soon.

Apple TV 1st Gen + iTunes 10 + Photo Sync (with Aperture 3) = No Sync

I recently started to experience the same issues that others have reported regarding not being able to sync their Apple TV classic (1st generation) with iTunes 10.
I grudgingly disconnected my Apple TV from iTunes which wiped out all the content. Then when I started a new sync, the Apple TV (and my iMac) froze when trying to connect.
So, I disconnected them again, and quickly set the sync preferences to a "Custom" sync. After an hour of playing around with the settings, and turning on (one by one) syncing of video content, music and podcasts, I've narrowed it down ... to Photo syncing with Aperture.
All of the other content that iTunes will let me select, syncs fine. I've re-synced my entire music library, but if I even setup iTunes to sync 1 photo from Aperture to my Apple TV ... freeze-o-matic.
Anyone else run into this issue and/or been able to find a workaround to fix it?

Finally found answer, many thanks to:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

ITunes photo sync with iOS 7.1 and OS X Mavericks (Aperture and iPhoto).

The iPhoto Library can be used by Aperture as well as iPhoto. This simplifies synchronization of photos between OS X Mavericks and both iPhone (IOS7) and iPad (IOS7). After updating an IOS7.1 "Delete Imported Items ..." screen tells me the number of items successfully imported, the number of items previously imported, and offers the option of deleting or keeping the items. Are there other capabilities that we can access on these mobile devices?

Hi bigchad!
It sounds like you might be having an issue with your installation of iTunes on your Windows computer. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this:

BUG: Photo sync with Aperture albums?

Hi, I think I have found a bug with how iTunes syncs photos across to my new (and until my number ports across, useless) iPhone. I posted this in a different discussion previously...
If you set it up that only selected Aperture albums are synced, like this;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album3
[tick] album4
then albums 2 and 4 are optimized and copied across.
However, if in Aperture you create a new album (by importing new photos, say) that appears in the list, e.g., between album2 and album3, then the ticks retain their spacial position, not their position relative to the album they are meant to sync;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album_new
[tick] album3
[ ] album4
So now, when you sync, album4 is deleted and album3 is placed on the phone - not what you would expect.
Has anyone else noticed this?

It is fixed now though. If you upgrade to iTunes 7.5, and iPhone software Update 1.1.2
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply.
That's strange... I am using leopard, with iTunes 7.5 and a brand new UK iPhone (so it has 1.1.2 already on it). It was essentially in 'virgin' state too; I had to return my 1st phone due to a tiny but annoying problem with it. I noticed the this after only a couple of syncs - when the sync was taking a while due to the photo optimizing step.
I will take another look tonight.
Thanks,
Tristan

How to sync an iphone created photo album with aperture

hello,
how can I do to sync a iPhone created Photo Album with Aperture?.
First of all, I created a new Photo Album on my iPhone (IOS 5.x), then I want it to sync with Apple Aperture 3, but Aperture created no new Album in the Project Folder. What can I do?
Best Regards
Sigi

If the album was placed on the phone by syncing photos from a computer to the phone, the way to remove it is to sync again but this time remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (if you want to remove all previously synced photos) or change the selection of photos in iTunes to be synce. Each time you sync photos using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/photo selection in iTunes.

Photos synced with itunes will be removed

How disappointing to find iicloud Photo Library showing the subject upon turning it on !!
any idea how can I upload my iPhoto library to icloud?

OK. Deep breath.
Until you set up me.com, the iTunes INFO page for your iPhone lets you set up the sync with Outlook. Once you set up me.com, it doesn't let you do it anymore. No options. It just refers you to the iPhone with this: "over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iphone"
So you go to the iPhone and try to turn off me.com syncing, so you can get iTunes to sync with Outlook once more, like it offered to before you signed up for me.com. Except it threatens to delete all your calendar entries and contacts! Seems like you're stuck in a catch 22.
But it's ok. Turns out there's a THIRD place that controls your sync options -- the me.com control panel. (Check under start menu/control panel on your pc)
Apple, PLEASE change the text on the iPhone INFO page in iTunes to refer people to the me.com control panel instead. The me.com control panel lets you tell your iPhone (and me.com) to sync with Outlook. So once it's all synced to Outlook, you can safely tell the iPhone to stop syncing to me.com, and it will delete all your entries on your iPhone (terrible, terrible, terrible way to avoid double entries after syncing) but you'll be able to recover by syncing to Outlook, which you'll have to set up in iTunes.
Phew. BTW, I tried the com.apple.outlook trick to get it to work with Outlook 2002, and it works great! (Everything is under Home Calendar, but isn't visible from the parent "Calendar" entry, which is strange, but oh well).
OK. So I'm backed up to Outlook 2002 now. I feel much better.

None of my iPhoto Albums appear in iTunes for syncing with my iPhone

I have dozens of Albums in iPhoto. When I open iTunes to sync with my iPhone, NONE of my iPhoto albums (none of my Aperture albums, for that matter) are present. I cannot figure out why not, nor do I see any discussions of this problem. HELP!!!!

moabCowboy,
Is there a particular reason you are using an alias to repoint the iPhoto Library, instead of telling iPhoto to look directly to the library on the other drive?
If not, you can tell iPhoto to look at the iPhoto Library on the other drive directly by holding down the option key when you launch iPhoto.
The iPhone does require iPhoto 4.0.3 to sync photos from iPhoto to the iPhone.
If still not showing up to sync photos over, this article has additional troubleshooting steps for when iPhoto apps don't show up in iLife applications:

Hope this helps,

What exactly does iTunes photo sync do?

Using Win7.
I have iTunes set to sync photos with my iPhone. I have designated a folder called "iPhone" under "My Pictures" folder. When I sync my iPhone the photos in Camera Roll do not go onto my computer.
I do realize that I am able to use other software to move the images from the iPhone to the computer - I can even use Windows explorer and just click and drag them. It would be nice if iTunes did that for me - like it sync's everything else.
So what is the purpose of iTune Photo Sync if it does not ingest the photos from my phone?
I read the manual, but to no resolution.
Thank You,
Joe

iTunes data is not synced. iTunes data is a transfer process only. The data that can be synced by definition is contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks.
It is called syncing for the masses to understand, just as most Windows users call anything harmful to their computer a virus - malware, spyware, and phishing scams are all viruses.
Importing photos/videos from a digital camera can involve more than transferring the data, and everything with iOS devices is centered around a Mac and Mac applications that can be used for this and rightfully so. I use iPhoto on my Mac for importing photos and video from a digital camera including from my iPhone and iPad 2, and for photo storage and management. iPhoto includes an option to delete imported photos/videos from a digital camera after the import process is complete including from the Camera Roll with an iOS device. I assume adding photo/video import functions from a digital camera could be added to iTunes, but there are already applications on a Mac and Windows that provide for this.
It wasn't confusing to me - namely because it is called a Camera Roll on an iOS device. Anything involving a camera involves an import process which iTunes does not handle with any other digital camera.

TS3697 My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto

My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, but I get no warning message. Just no update of photos. I do not believe i updated anything at the time that iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, its possible this coincided with one of the iTunes updates and i did not notice. I cannot see any new photos or albums in iPhoto in iTunes. How do I fix this? I already tried deleting the iPod photo cache in my iPhoto library. No luck. Any idea how to solve this?

Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Sorry, there is nothing you can do.
FYI: Damage like that is not covered by warranty, & all Apple will offer you is an out of warranty replacement...cost, in the US, for an iPhone 4, is US $149.
