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?

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

  • 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.

  • 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:
    http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/02/28/smart-album-can-switch-reference-in-ape rture-3/
    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.

  • Do photos synced with Lightroom count toward storage quota?

    Do photos synced with Lightroom count toward Creative Cloud 2GB storage quota? I have 300+ photos synced so far, but storage looks to be 0.

    Lightroom mobile is an extra service that does not count to your Creative Cloud 2GB storage quota. -Guido

  • ICloud Photo Library: How to sync iPhoto/Aperture albums?

    After installing iOS 8 and trying to access Photos, users are presented with a notification titled, "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)." A subsequent message warns, "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud Photo Library is turned on. (#) photos will be removed."
    What is this supposed to mean?
    Mac users may currently organize photos into events and albums using iPhoto or Aperture. Until now, they could also select specific albums and events to sync to specific iOS devices via iTunes. According to this message, if the user turns on iCloud Photo Library then these synced photos will be deleted from the iOS devices and they will no longer be able to sync them with iTunes. However there is no explanation of whether, when, or how this functionality will be replaced.
    My hope and expectation is that the upcoming Photos app for OS X will allow users to import their iPhoto or Aperture library with all events, albums, and meta data intact, provide the option to upload their collection to iCloud Photo Library, and then allow specific photos, albums, and/or events to be viewed and/or downloaded on to specific OS X and iOS devices.
    Assuming this assumption is correct, though, we'll have to wait until next year's release of Photos for OS X to regain this functionality.  If that's the case, this advisory should explicitly say so.

    Because IMO Apple has never cracked photo management, I organise all my photos on my MacBook and sync the photo's folder to my iPad and iPhone via iTunes. This gives me the organisation I require, but it means I cannot do much at all with the synced folder except view the photos on my iPad and iPhone.
    I just enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, this deleted all the iTunes synced folders from my device, I expected it to upload all those photos to the cloud and then delete them from the device, but it actually just deleted them all and uploaded a few odd's and sods I had in my camera roll.
    I am currently unsure how to get my main photo library into the cloud as the Photos app is not yet available for Mac!
    So do not enable it if you manage your photos like me and you want your back catalogue!!
    I am very hopeful that Apple is about to crack photos management in an MASSIVE way, but until the Mac Photos's app come out continuity between iOS and Mac OS is still very broken.

  • Apple TV Photos not that sharp? (sync with Aperture)

    Not sure if other people think this or if I'm doing something wrong, but I sync my ATV with Aperture and the photos as displayed on the TV just aren't that sharp.
    Does iTunes sync low res images to ATV?
    I have a 1080p HD TV and have set ATV to output at that resolution, but I'm just not seeing the sharpness on the TV.
    My only thought is this - I shoot my pics in raw format, which does look a little soft until they have some post processing applied (something Aperture does when viewing). I'm wondering whether iTunes exports the master file to ATV without applying any post processing.....? Any thoughts?

    In another thread it was suggested that Aperture (unlike iPhoto) syncs previews that are fairly hi-res, but definitely not full resolution, to the ATV.
    My pix from iPhoto look great on my 32" LCD and the files sizes are fairly close compared to the source computer. The person who reported the above info also reported a drastic difference in size - many gigs vs. hundreds of MB - between Aperture and his ATV.

  • Can't select projects for iPhone to sync with Aperture

    I'm migrating from iPhoto to Aperture 3.3.1
    I'm on a 2009 Mac Mini using Lion.
    I can easily import iPhone photos into Aperture, no problem.
    I've managed to get iTunes to allow selecting sync between my iphone 4S (latest OS5) and Aperture. All well and good. But...
    What I don't seem to be able to do is select anything of substance to sync. For one thing, the only items available for sync are "Events"--for example "last 20 events" and macros like that. Since Aperture doesn't deal with "events" but rather "projects", I don't know how this translates.
    I have a lot of projects in Aperture, but unlike when I was syncing with iPhoto--where I could select from a long list of specific items I'd created in iPhoto, I don't see any option in iTunes to sync custom named Projects, Albums, or any such thing from Aperture. Only these simple macros for recent events. And even when I select something like "the 20 most recent events" and try to sync, nothing is synced. Nothing gets transferred when I do a sync. No photos get transferred to the iPhone.
    How do I get all of my projects to appear in iTunes as options to sync with my iPhone?

    I see, we have been cross posting
    What exactly are your settings in the "Previews" tab of the Aperture preferences? Have you enabled the sharing and the automatic creation of previews?
    If you are not sure, if previews have been generated for all your projects, force the creation by selecting all images and selecting "Photos > Update Previews".
    Since iPhoto and Aperture now share the same library, I don't understand why selecting Aperture as the sync source would be any different than selecting iPhoto in this regard.
    Do I understand you correctly - You have only one library right now, that you alternately open in Aperture and iPhoto?
    Then only one of the two Applications will show the contents: Aperture or iPhoto. The results I have show you above in my previous post do apply,  when I have two libraries, one used with iPhoto and one used with Aperture. The same library openened in turns with iPhoto or Aperture will only show all contents for one of the two apps; I assume this is to keep the photo cache inside the library small - otherwise you would have to waste space for two photos caches.
    When I try to sync my Aperture library with iTunes, I see all projects like shown above with the switch set to Aperture, but set to iPhoto I also see only the two events you have shown. So use the application to sync your photos that will show all albums or events/projects.

  • Bad Quality in photos sync from Aperture

    I have just bought a shiny new imac with Aperture Installed and I've found a problem when syncing projects in Aperture with my iPhone.
    What happens is that about a third of all photos I sync appear blurred and pixalated on the iphone even though they are crisp and clear in Aperture. I've tried the unsync and resync 'cure' with no success.
    One curious thing though, if I export the project from Aperture into a folder on my hard drive and then sync directly from that ALL of the photos are crisp and clear even the ones which were originally blurred.
    As I said this is a new imac and I've never used Aperture before so I wondered if there was something I might be doing wrong or some setting I may have missed, because it seems that the problem is something to do with Aperture but I'm at a loss on how to cure it.

    Thank you that solved the problem. I had a feeling it was going to be something I'd missed in the settings but I never would have guessed that it was to do with preview sizes. I'd always assumed it was the master copies that were sync'd.
    So thank you one again

  • No Photo Sync with AppleTV Vista 64

    OK this should NOT be this hard. I am having difficulties with Photo sync. I get the eternal loop of syncing and it does not ever get to the point where it copies the photos. I have seen similar issues from other users but no detail of how to fully resolve this and this lead seemed to disappear with no follow up to any resolutions.
    I have installed the 64 bit version of itunes after accidently installing the 32 bit version. I did remove the 32 bit and then install the 64 bit.
    I found detail on moving the photos to a public folder which I also did. This has not solved the issue.
    The only other piece of information I saw was on removing the ipod photo cache file in the parent directory of photos however I could not find this file (unless it is hidden of course).
    I have checked whether hosting the photos on an external drive will solve the issue and have removed and then reinstalled itunes latest version to verify this is not the issue. Still the eternal sync loop happens
    So I am a very frustrated new vista user who has spent the last 24 hours trying to find a fix for this.
    Perhaps I should have gone mac

    OK so no replies of any thought on what caused this. So I finally got the syncing to work. Do not know what really started to happen as it is still flakey in my opinion.
    Step 1. Removed photos from public photo folder and returned them to the normal pic folder.
    Step 2. Checked permissions on all folders and made sure all folders and subdirectories were set so that read only was off. I really don't know if this had any effect.
    Step 3. Prior to tryong to sync I removed the iPod Photo Cache folder and directory from the pictures directory where all my photos were now stored. This was from an earlier topic discussion in another thread.
    Step 4. Selected one photo directory to sync... boom the dang thing started to sync instead of the eternal loop.
    Now here is the rub. When I thought I had cracked this I went and started to add other directories. What happened then was that it went back into the eternal loop of syncing. I could not get the AppleTV to sync. I gave up in frustration after this last night.
    Step 5. I returned tonight and followed same Step 1-3 and this time I selected all the photos and folders I wanted added. I am now some 500 of 11000 the way through syncing. yay!
    Again, this does not give me a guarantee it is fixes as it appears that if I will try to add more photo folders in the future then I am sure I will get into the eternal loop.
    I would appreiate if anyone has any further thoughts or information on this. Perhaps this is a bug in the iTunes 8.1.1.10 as I have seen other comments relating to the eternal sync for this release of software which do not relate to photos.

  • Photo Sync with new iPhoto Library

    I created a new iPhoto-Library. This one is now set as "standard". But if i try to sync the photos from this new library to the iPhone, iTunes still shows the pictures from the old iPhoto-Library. How can I tell iTunes to use the new library?

    This is normal, which cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred from your computer and iPhoto to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
    The photos in the iPhoto album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated. Just as with iPhoto - all photos in all iPhoto albums are stored in your main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be in an iPhoto album unless the photo is available in your main iPhoto library, and a photo in your main iPhoto library can be in multiple iPhoto albums. The photos in the iPhoto albums are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in your main iPhoto library.
    If you select multiple iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos in all albums are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This way you can view all photos available in an album only by selecting the album under the Photo Library on your iPhone, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    iTunes is the same. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your iTunes library, and a song in your iTunes library can be available in multiple playlists. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated. This way you can listen to the songs in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to all songs in all playlists and/or available in your iTunes library by selecting Music.

  • Photos synced with iPhoto (through iTunes) ignore edits (syncs original)

    Not sure if this should go here, or in the iPhoto forum...
    I edited a batch of photos in iPhoto and put them in an Album. I setup iTunes to sync that Album with my iPhone. All the photos now appear on the phone, however the images on the phone are the "original" photos, not the edited versions that appear in the Album when viewing in iPhoto.
    So, the photos in the iPhoto Album are not the photos that get synched to my iPhone.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Sync with Aperture and Android?

    Is there any way to sync photos from Aperture to Android?  There seem to be a couple of options to sync from iPhoto to Android devices (doubleTwist and Missing Sync), but none for syncing from Aperture to Android devices.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Frank Caggiano wrote:
    There is no way to "do Aperture to iTunes" that I'm aware of.
    Of course there is, that is that is how you sync photos to an i device from Aperture or iPhoto.
    Unless my knowledge of how iTunes/Aperture/iPhoto/iPhone/iPad syncing is incorrect, I am going to have to disagree with you.
    iTunes does not store any of the photos itself.  All of the resized photos reside in an "iPod Photo Cache" folder that is inside the Aperture library.  iTunes merely remembers which device(s) are supposed to get photos from iPhoto/Aperture and which photos to sync.
    As far as I know, iTunes is also not designed to serve as a conduit to other Apple applications.  That's why applications like doubleTwist, Missing Sync, etc...have to look at the iPhoto/Aperture library directly to do any syncing.
    doubleTwist is currently designed to look at an iPhoto library or at a folder with pictures in it.  I believe that's how Missing Sync is set up as well.  I was hoping that since there are programs that will sync an iPhoto library with an Android device, that there would be one that would sync with an Aperture library.

  • Unable to Sync with iPhoto albums

    Using iTunes 6.01 and iPod Video I wish to sync with iPhoto (5.04) albums.
    In iTunes Preferences/iPod/Photos I have selected the Synchronize photos from iPhoto but am unable to select an album (Copy selected albums only is grayed out and no albums appear in the selection box). iPhoto operates OK and photos are stored on external firewire drive.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Not sure if you are still having this problem, but I think the issue might be corrupt or malformed data being written by iPhoto to the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto library folder.
    One common cause of this is having an ampersand in a keyword (e.g. "vacations & travel") and then using the keyword in a smart album. Having an ampersand in a folder in the Finder path where your library is located can also cause this, as can keywords that use foreign character encodings.
    The quick way to find out the offending corrupt data is to download iPhoto Library Manager (http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iPhotoLibraryManager.dmg) and then point it to your iPhoto library folder. The album column will tell you the line number of the malformed data in the XML file, and then you can open the XML file, locate the line number and see what item is causing the issue. If it is a keyword, just open iPhoto and delete it. If it is a caption or other text, delete or rename in iPhoto. Do not edit the albumdata.xml file directly, as this file is automatically generated by iPhoto and any changes you make will be overwritten. (more detailed steps on troubleshooting this issue is at http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/Documentation/iPLM/pgs/albumdata.html)
