Bug with MP3 tags & full-resolution photo storage...

My birthday was last week and I got a new iPod classic 120 gb......
I am a music (67 gb) and photo buff (22 gb)......and I am having trouble with each. I am using the XP box to do the syncing, since my wife's iBook doesn't have enough storage space to hold all of our photos and MP3s.
1) Music...... for xmas and my birthday I got 7 new CDs.... I ripped all 7 into iTunes prior to syncing my iPod for the first time and all 7 work perfectly on my family's 3 computers (laptop running OS X 10.4.11, laptop running Ubuntu, and an old Windows XP box that I use as a file server). Yet they all don't show up correctly on the iPod.....
a) +Slumdog Millionaire+ soundtrack shows up in iTunes with each artist for each track listed correctly....yet on the iPod all songs are under "Various Artists"
b) +The Best of Clifford Brown+ & +The Juno sountrack+ don't show up at all on the iPod even though they register correctly in iTunes
c) Charles Mingus' +Mingus Ah Um+ & The Soundtrack for the movie Once.......shows up under album view on the iPod with "Charles Mingus" listed as the artist, but does not show up under Artist view.
d) The other two CDs work normally.
I ripped all of these CDs at the same time. They all work perfectly in iTunes and in Amarok on my laptop running linux. Why won't they show up correctly on my iPod? It is only these new CDs, the rest of of my giant library synced perfectly. I deleted the files and restored the iPod and the MP3s on the desktop from my back-up but that did nothing.
What is causing this? Should I re-rip the original CDs?
2) Photos.....I think this is just an Apple thing....but I thought I'd ask....I take LOTS of pics.....my pictures all synced up perfectly with my iPod. I selected the option to upload the full resolution photos as an added redundant back-up since i have the extra space on the iPod......but iTunes didn't take my existing file structure (each folder is an album)...it dumped my 20,000 plus photos into a single folder for March 15th (The day of the original sync) in the iPhoto style file system. The tags are all intact with the correct date, but iTunes didn't read them.
I know this is a personal preference thing.....but I stopped using iPhoto exclusively because it made backing up my photos too cumbersome between different operating systems. I've always found it ironic that it is easier to illegally share copyrighted MP3s out of iTunes then to share non-copyrighted family pics out of iPhoto. It seems my iPod is forcing me back into the iPhoto file system. Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to just copy my existing file structure so that I can navigate through album folders rather then the giant mass of photos.

Shawn, the issue with the music is likely due to the fact that the CDs in question are compilations (or at least marked as compilations in iTunes).
When an album is labeled as a compilation, the iPod will not list its contents under the artist, instead, you need to enable compilations on the iPod and look there. It will also place the album art for these tracks at the end of Coverflow.
You can undesignate tracks as compilations by right clicking the tracks, choosing "Get Info" and go to:
Options tab (if you are highlighting multiple tracks)
Info tab (if you are highlighting single tracks)
I can't help with your photo issue (I only have music on my iPod), though you are probably correct that this is just the way Apple has chosen to file the photos.

ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).

How do i sync full resolution photos from computer to phone?

anyone know how to sync full resolution photos from computer to phone using itunes? itunes does not show the option to "include full resolution photos." photos i'd like to sync include both photos taken with iphone and photos i've taken with another camera. i also don't have to use itunes, whichever program gets the photos in their separate folders back onto my iphone in full resolution is fine. using itunes 10 / iphone 4S / ios 5.0.1
thanks!

As far as I know that's not possible when using iTunes. See this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15172235#15172235 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/15254581#15254581

Iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

You actually need to give information to get help - just stating an abstract problems (which is most certainly not a problem at all) gives the volunteers hearer nothing to work with to help you
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What exactly is the problem (iPhoto does support the resolution of your camera so that is NOT a problem)? what exactly are you doing? What error messages do you get? why do you incorrectly think that iPhoto does not support full resolution?
At this time your question is like my car won't start - why not? Could be anything from you did not put the key jun to being out of gas to having the engine stolen - no way to tell anything - except that the problem you claim is not true (at least in my example I would know that the car did not start)

"Include Full Resolution Photos" option NOT available!

Hi -
I'm running iTunes v 7.5.0.20 on a Windows XP, SP2 machine. On all the tutorials / help topics for this version of iTunes, it states that I can move full resolution versions of all my photos onto my iPod by checking the "Include Full Resolution Photos" checkbox in the photo pane. This option isn't showing up AT ALL in iTunes. My iPod is selected in the "devices" area in the left pane, and I have clicked on the tab labeled "Photos." Here is exactly what appears:
- A "Sync Photos From" checkbox and drop-down that allows me to choose a folder
- Two options for selection. One says "All Photos" and the other says "Selected Folders" with a list of folders.
- the ONLY other thing it says in that pane is, in small type, a brief description of how iPod will sync the files.
There is NO CHECKBOX for including fell-resolution photos, and I need it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Yes, I do have the touch, thank you for the help.
Since there appear to be only two zoom levels to photos on the touch, anyway, it appears I can't use it the way I wanted to. (I wanted to use a large map and be able to zoom in wherever -- I guess I'll just have to include lots of smaller maps.
I don't quite understand part of your answer -- do you mean that the full resolution photos could only be viewed AT full resolution if they'd been moved back onto another computer?
Thanks!

Is there a big differnce when you check "include full-resolution photos"

I was wondering the major difference, becuase if I wanted to transfer the images from the ipod to another device, would that be the right way, and will the full res pics take up to much space on the ipod hard drive.
also how much compression is used when you don't use full res images?

if you're looking at tranferring photos from the ipod to something else, it's important to include the full resolution photos. if you have that box unchecked, the only images you get on the ipod are the little "thumbs" that display on the ipod itself.
the full res photos take up some room. i've got a test folder of 4 photos on attractive beast. "Photos" shows as 10.8 MB if i'm including the full res ... but only as 3.1 MB i'm not including the full res.

Bad bug with ID3 tags of different case for same artist

My itunes files and music library are on a different drive than my boot drive. It is an internal drive (always on) in my Mac Pro at /Volumes/Media1/iTunes with music library at /Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music. iTunes is setup to automatically keep it organized and copy files to the media folder when adding. It has been this way for years, never a problem.
Just recently, and I think this may have coincided (but I'm not sure) with a 10.6.5 Snow Leopard update, my music started disappearing! The entries were still in the library, but with the missing exclamation mark in itunes with it reporting that it couldn't find the files. But only certain artists. After searching my computer, I found the missing files it at the same path, but on my boot drive, at /Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music/<missing artist>!
Trying to add these files back to my library would work briefly, but then they would magically disappear out of /Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music and go back to /Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music/
I figured out the one thing the different artists that had this behavior had in common - some of the ID3 tags for the same artist, which are the basis for organization, were in different cases. I think there is a weird case sensitivity bug that is breaking things. When I add back only those songs for an artist with ID3 tags for the artist of the same case, the behaviour stops.
I'm posting less looking for an answer and more to raise visibility and hope this gets a fix.
Example entries from my iTunes Library.xml, notice how the 'k' in OutKast is a different case in the entries.
<key>Artist</key><string>OutKast</string>
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/OutKast/Speakerboxxx,%20Th e%20Love%20Below%20(Disc%202)/13%20Pink%20&%20Blue.mp3</string>
<key>Artist</key><string>Outkast</string>
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Outkast/Aquemini/12%20Spot tieOttieDopaliscious.mp3</string>

I'd like to note that I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I'd add to this but petegas4life has it spot on. I'm just replying in hopes this thread gets noticed so the engineers at apple can look into this and hopefully fix it in the next release.
Reproducing the problem is pretty simple too. Just take one song from an album and change the case of the artist name. You'll see the music move to the boot drive and all of the songs from that artist won't work in itunes anymore. And if you're relying on iTunes to edit the tags, fixing the files is a PAIN because they keep disappearing on you.

Is there a way to have full resolution photos available from a website

Hello I have a a requirement to have full resolution (300dpi)
photos available for downloand from a website. How can i do this? i
tried zipping the a single photo as a test uploading it to website
with a link for user to download it. It took forever to upload the
file in the end I cancelled putting it up as it would not be a
usuable solution.
Can anyone advise me how this is done?
thank you,

Upload speeds are a major issue as they are generally much
much slower
than download speeds.
I don't know of any other way to do it faster to be honest.
Jpg, as already mentioned, is the most time effective
solutuion when
transfering huge image files via the net. If you know the
final output
size the image is going to be used at you can cut down on
excess
megabytes by making it that size before upload BUT you don't
always know
at what output size its going to be used.

Taking the full resolution photos from my iPod and putting them on an eMac

I'd like to put all the 5000+ photos that are on my iPod (and my new iMac) onto my wife's eMac. HOWEVER, I really don't want to mess with anything else on her computer. (Truth be told, I'm under a "never touch my computer again" order from doing on too many "improvements".)
But I would like her computer as a back up on the family photos. So, how do I do it?
Also, there are several album's worth of somewhat good music that she's purchased using her computer. How do I get it onto my computer? (Again, without endangering her stuff in any way?
Thanks.

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to the desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.

Full-resolution photos.

I would like to have the option in iTunes to disable optimization when syncing photos to my iPod Touch so I can view them in full-resolution.
How can I suggest this to Apple?

Force ipad to show full resolution photos ?

I am surprised and annoyed to find that all my photos on my IPad have been reduced in size to a preset maximum (2048x1024 or something close to that, I think) during the import process, I have many very large photos (autostitched landscapes etc), and I would very much like to be able to view them on the Ipad in their full detail - ie I would like to be able to pinch and zoom in to 1:1 resolution. Is there any way to make the IPad2 do this ?

Hmm. I tried the Simple Transfer app (thanks for the info) and it did indeed preserve the resolution of the files copied across - but not the size of the file itself. One photo (16394 x 2069 pixels) was 21MB on my computer and became 7.1MB on the IPad. However, when I looked at both photos on my PC (copied the IPad photo back across to PC by connecting IPad as a camera) they were identical, even though one was 3 times the file size of the other ?
It would be great if the IPad would simply zoom in to full magnification......as I expected it would. At least now I know I can take it on holiday and it's not going to ''optimise'' (ie reduce the detail and sharpness) all my photos.

I keep getting this error " Unable to Assemble Book" filename "(null)." The full resolution photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. This has happen now that I have upgraded to Lion and the iPhoto software.

I have recently updated to Lion on a Mac Pro 2006. iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2.
I made a new book from a complete start after shutting down the Mac but I still get the same error!
Please help,
Ruedylee

Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

Full resolution iPod photo option not available??

I want to transfer my photos to my iMac using the Full-resolution photo option so I can then transfer them back to other computers. The problem is the full resolution option in the iPod options is greyed out. I have enabled disk access as per the iPod tutorial. What else do I need to do?

Unless I misunderstand your question....
The two places (ipod and mac) where you could view your library images are displayng two different sets of data.
The iPhoto library was in one format and the iPod has only (ipod formated) thumbnails on it.
The iPod thumbnails are kept seperate from your iPhoto Library. On my machine they are in my PICTURES folder in iPod Photo cache.
Since this is not the same set of files you could not restore it.
NOW IF YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR iPHOTO LIBRARY on your iPod you could move it back to your hard drive while in disk mode to the expected location but DO YOU REALLY HAVE THAT FOLDER or do you have the thumbnails of that folder?

HT204053 iCloud photo storage

MY primary iPhoto and video library is stored on external drive as MacBook storage is too small. For additional storage and access, I recently copied all the photos (45 GB) to iCloud Drive. the storage use for photos on the macbook is now 44GB, leaving little room on the MacBook harddrive. Does iCloud Drive keep a local copy on my harddrive? How can I save photos in an addition place, cloud, any cloud, and leave off my MacBook Air?

Does iCloud Drive keep a local copy on my harddrive? How can I save photos in an addition place, cloud, any cloud, and leave off my MacBook Air?
Yes, iCloud drive is keeping local shadow copies of all documents you store there. So you will not save space on your device.
If you want to save space by moving photos to iCloud, store them iCloud Photo Library and not on iCloud Drive. The new Photos.app supports iCloud Photo Library.
See: Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.

HT201077 Shared Photo Streams do not upload full sized photos!

Oh boy, so it seems that Apple's "optimized for your device" policy with photos has reared its ugly head again (PLEASE, just give us an option for optimizing the size or leaving it the original size like you do for compressing songs to 128kps on our devices!!!!)! The addition of Shared Photo Streams seemed a godsend to me, as prior to iOS 6, my wife's iPhone was stuck in this iCloud ID ghetto, where her device's main account was mine so that we shared the same Photo Stream. This way, when I went into Aperture on the Mac to process and import photos to our home library, all of our mobile pictures were in one place. This came with the consequence that the other "main" iCloud features, such as (inexplicably) Safari syncing, were unusable to her as they were from my personal settings. So once shared Photo Streams came about, I thought "Perfect! Now I can just share all of my photos to her iCloud ID, and then all of our combined pictures will show up in Aperture!" The problem is that, when I looked at the pictures on the Mac from the shared photo stream, they only were available at the "optimized" 3 megapixel resolution for iPhone, not the original 8 megapixel pictures are the photos from the main iCloud ID ones are. This is a huge deal for two reasons, 1. I can't import and process these pictures for saving permanently they're more than HALF the original resolution, 2. Anyone that I share photos to, friends, family, who want to maybe save those to their computer for printing and whatnot, are ALSO stuck with a halfbaked low resolution file!
I did have the a-ha idea, that perhaps if I shared photos from Aperture on my mac to my wife's Photo Stream, perhaps it would then share the full resolution photo as that's what Aperture gets from iCloud's servers. Alas, no, still the shared photo stream only gets the compromised file. There has GOT to be a way for the full resolution pics to be shared, otherwise the service is nearly useless to me! As far as I knew, shared photostreams just link to the original files, so it's not like this will take up any more space on Apple's servers. If someone has a solution, let me know!
The only other solution is to allow the use of more than one Photostream account on a Mac with Aperture. I feel that this is a no-brainer, and a little silly. Either you provide family style iCloud accounts for uses like Photo Stream, or you accept that every iOS user in a family will have their own Photo Stream. This means that they need to be able to be accessed on the same family computer.

I have this same issue except with iPhoto. We each have our own computers and I thought the shared photostream would allow us to each have all the photos, but they aren't full sized.
