Can iPhone sync from both Aperture and iPhoto?

I have photos on both - can I get the phone to sync from both or do I just have to choose one?

Hi,
To keep you informed of my findings...
I decided to export photos from Aperture and iPhoto that I want to be displayed in a folder under the Pictures folder. Then, I ask iTunes to sync photos from that folder instead of Aperture or iPhoto... Seems to work fine so far...

  • Syncing photos from both aperture AND iphoto

    Hi,
    I'm a user of iPhoto and Aperture. I use both but for different needs. I used to sync my photos to AppleTV from iPhoto. But now, I would also like to sync from Aperture... It seems that iTunes keeps the settings for both software but can only sync from one at a time... Is there a way to sync photos from both sources at the same time on AppleTV ?
    Thx !

  • Using both aperture and iphoto

    is there a way to use both aperture and iphoto without duplicating all the pictures? can I just point aperture to the iphoto folder with my pictures? i would like to use both, but don't want to have to duplicate all of my pictures, my hard drive can't handle my heavy shutter finger twice over.

    Fundamentally our need/pain drives our determination of the best solution.
    iPhoto is great as you say for integration cross iLife, basic photo management and basic edits.
    Once you start to use Aperture with any volume of photos, it rapidly dawns on you how basic iPhoto is. I have tried both, and used iPhoto from iLife 04 onwards. iPhoto becomes unwieldly when you start throwing 100, 200, 500 or a 1,000 images at it. Compares and selects, sorting on different metadata, all slicker than iPhoto. But when it comes to image adjustments, there really is no comparison. Highlights/Shadows, Levels with quarter points, spot/patch controls ... smoothing, etc. To say nothing of seeing your original and modified(s) side by side. Or how about non-destructive crops so you can create the best possible presentation of the object with the overall image? Organization and navigational structure? Built in backup (Vaults) so that it is easy to back up. Yes, I'm sold on Aperture and that's why I now export just my finished (keepers) results back to iPhoto and not the other way around.
    As your volumes grow, and your experience with Aperture grows, I'm sure you will start to reconsider.
    Have fun.

  • ITunes on two computers, how can I sync from both

    I guess what I want to do is sync Itunes amongst two computers.
    When I got my Ipod for Christmas, at the outset I set up Itunes on my son's laptop. And up to this point I have been syncing from this computer.
    Now I want to start to sync from my own laptop (actually I want to be able to sync from both computers) and not loose any content.
    I do have the January software update and it was installed from my son's computer. I don't want to loose this update if I sync with my computer.
    To date, my Ipod has worked flawlessly. I am hoping not to create a problem by introducting my Ipod to my laptop and trying to sync the Ipod from both computers.
    I am not too technically inclinded, so I would appreciate any response to take this into account when replying. Thanks.

    There is also an option in iTunes. Go to File>Back up to disc. It will then give you some options of what type of back up you want to do. And don't forget hat if you have music on your iPod that is a form of a back up as well. If it is purchased music from the iTunes store, and you loose your music from system crash or whatever. You can re-install iTunes and then connect you iPod and go to Store >Authorize Computer > enter password and then go to File> Transfer Purchases. Now if you have ripped music and loose it you can use any search engine and search for Ipod Ripper programs. These are third party softwares, so basically it means that they work but Apple does not endorse or support them. But trust me when I tell you if you get one that you have to pay a fee for they work.

  • Can you sync photos to an iPad from both Aperture and Pictures Folder?  I know there are options for both but I have photos on both Aperture and Pictures Folder that I want to put on my iPad.

    If I select Aperture as the option to sync for photos I can't select photos from the Pictures folder.  Currently I have my photos synced to Aperture but I want to add photos from Pictures Folder.  It doesn't really look like it's possible to add stuff as it would delete my photos from Aperture if I resync with the Pictures Folder.  Really frustrating because I don't want to have to add those photos to my Aperture library as I'm currently moving away from using Aperture to Lightroom.  So all my older photos are in Aperture but most of my newer images are saved in my Pictures Folder.  Thanks for any help with this.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for that... I thought of that, of adding my iPad Pix as a subfolder of Pictures and syncing to Pictures but I remember many versions of iTunes' ago that I could add folders. Can I still do that or has that option gone? If the option doesn't exist then I suppose I will have to use folders and subfolders.
    The thing is, I have iPad Pix as one folder then another folder of Pictures with various subfolders within it. It's a couple of those different subfolders I want to sync as well as iPad Pix and I don't want the hassle of moving and syncing specific folders etc... it really would be easier if I could sync more than one folder at the same time. Hope it's possible...
    Thanks,
    Maz

  • Using both Aperture and iPhoto '09

    This might sound unnecessary, but I am sure that people do it. I use Aperture to import, store and manage my master files. However, I would also like to keep images in iPhoto in order to utilize and play around with faces and places.
    My question is what is the best way to get images from my managed aperture library into iPhoto? I know that you can open iPhoto creating a new library and then show the Aperture library to import from. My question centers around what are you actually importing? My assumption is that you are importing previews and not master files. Is so, what is the best way to set the preview so that you don't take up too much extra space on the hard drive?
    Also, there are some photos in which I would like the master to get imported to iPhoto. I say this because the red eye tool doesn't seem to work all that well in Aperture, but it seemed to work a little better in iPhoto. Again, maybe I am going about this all wrong. My thinking is that unless I edit the master for the red eye, I won't be able to print it out, if I am just editing a preview image. Unless of course, even though it is a preview, when I try to print it will still reference back to the original data minus the red eye.
    Any thoughts on the best ways to go about this, or whether it is even necessary? Maybe best to do initial import with iPhoto and then move things to Aperture? I only have a few hundred pictures in my library. Also, my library is backed up to a Time Capsule.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Terrence,
    Good stuff. Makes sense about how to run a referenced library, and also about the quality of the preview. I was wondering though, even if I set the preview quality to be 12 and didn't limit the size of the preview, would it still be less info than the original master file? I suppose if I really wanted a master file to print from within iPhoto, I could always just export from Aperture and import into iPhoto. I was just wondering in case I brought all my images into iPhoto as previews and then wanted to print out a photo book from within iPhoto. I just want to make sure that the images are going to be of the best possible quality.
    On a side note, without posting a new topic, perhaps you could answer another question for me. I just set Photoshop as the external photo editor in Aperture, because I was having some issues with the red eye feature not working so great in iPhoto. For some reason, Photoshop seems to get the red eye a little bit better on certain photos. Anyway, I noticed that it only gives you two options to save as: TIFF, TIFF 16 bit, PSD and PSD 16 bit. Why can't you save the files as JPEG's, or like the original master file when you use an external image editor? The size of the version edited externally is astronomical compared to the original master.

  • I updated to Mountain Lion and can't access most of my photo libraries , both Aperture and iPhoto

    After updatiing yesterday I cant access my libraries, I get two different messages, one says :"Aperture can't access this Library' "to use this library , make sure its file permissions are set correctly".  The next one says "Unable to write to library iPhoto Library 2
    check that you have permissions to write to the library directory.Any ideas what I have to do tho get access again.

    I have been having the same issue, although the external drive is not an array. It's a multi-disk setup where the drives are manually duplicated using Super Duper, although it could be set up as an array. The suggestion to remove the external drive(s) from the system, spinning them down, then plugging them in worked ONCE. After that, the next time Aperture was relaunced, the problem resumed. And now spinning them down or taking them out and restarting them, even restarting the Mac, has no effect. I'm testing to see if moving the Libraries to another drive and reformatting the drives in this external enclosure before bringing the libraries back will have an remedy. It may be there needs to be a firmware update to the external enclosure in order to work properly with Mountain Lion.

  • Can you Sync with both Mac and PC ?

    My wife would like an ipod touch to use pretty much as I do mine, for her music collection and calendar ad contacts sync (as well as other more interesting, but less important stuff).
    The difference is, whilst we have a mac at home that she would want to sync music from, she wants to use calendars and contact info from Outlook on her PC at work.
    I was told by one 'network specialist' at a store that it couldn't be done because it would only sync through iTunes and she'd have to have an account on each machine she used. every time it synced calendars from work it would remove the music and vice versa. Is this true ?
    Does anyone know if this can be done? or should she pretty much forget owning an ipod touch ?
    Or are there any other solutions we could look at..?
    Any info gratefully recieved
    andyt

    I've done it, I've done it !
    All the feedback sounded so promising, I went ahead and got an ipod touch for my wife and it's all worked out great. She took it to work and set it up there (PC formatted) to sync contacts and calendars, then at home tonight I've added bit by bit. Songs worked, then I managed to put some photos on... apps was the tricky one to get my head around, as we have different profiles on the iMac, but wanted to share apps without paying or them twice - We shared music by moving our itunes library to a shared location, works a treat as we can keep them different. Eventually I worked out I could log in to my itunes store account in her profile and download the apps again straight into her library. Brilliant!
    and I think that's the lot!
    the only thing that could go wrong now is if it all disappears when she takes her ipod touch back to work after the holidays (ach, I'm sure we're fine)... fingers crossed.
    Thanks everyone for giving me the confidence to go for it. Needed to be sure before I spent all that money.
    jscjsc, sorry to hear about your probs, but it's worked for me. Sorry I can't help you as I no nothing of the PC side of things, so couldn't say why your calendar diasppeared - except to say that when I went to tick the sync music box at home, it threatened to wipe everything on the ipod and replace it. I took that to maybe mean calendars too, so I let it alone and my wife will manually manage music and movies, very simple, drag and drop. Apps and Photos seem to sync ok though.
    Hope you get sorted.

  • Can I sync my personal pop and exchange server calendar/contacts ??

    The "genius" at Apple Store says no, but others have said yes. I am using Outlook for my personal email/contacts/calendar and an exchange server outlook for my business email/contacts/calendar. I would like to be able to sync both outlook profiles. I can get email from both pop and iMap accounts, but it seems that I can only sync one calendar and contacts. When I activated active sync, it synced my exchange server info, but I have no way to sync my Outlook Pop account. Active sync was about to overwrite the other info. Any thoughts?

    With your iPhone connected with iTunes, check under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    3.0 included the ability to sync contacts and calendars direct with the supported application(s) on your computer along with syncing contacts and calendars over the air - at least with a MobileMe account. I'm not sure if the same is available when syncing contacts and calendars OTA with an Exchange account, but it should be.

  • Sync from a MAC and Parallels

    Music and photos in my MAC but calendar is in Outlook that I access from Parallels on my MacBook Pro. Can I sync from both sides of my computer while choosing to only sync calendar on the Parallels PC side?

    in Parallels check the Iphone so that it is used by Windows. In iTunes make sure that you calendar is set to sync and nothing else. In devices uncheck the iPhone so that it goes back to the mac side and in itunes make sure that everything is checked except the calendar.
    I have not been able to verify this on mine but it should work.

  • Do Aperture and iPhoto automatically merge in 3.3?

    Because I would really like to keep them separate.
    I like to use Aperture for editing and then when I am finished I select a few favourite shots and store them in iPhoto and use it as a sort of quick portfolio if I ever want to look over my favbourite work.
    Will upgrading force them to merge or can I continue to keep them separately so I don't have to wade through all the edited files to get to the few I want to show off?
    Chris

    Because I would really like to keep them separate.
    No, the libraries will not merge automatically. But they are now compatible. You can open each iPhoto or Aperture Library in the other Application and work with it. The edits will be seen by the other Application, if you switch to the other one. But you still can keep separate libraries for Aperture and iPhoto. They will not be merged unless you import  your iPhoto Libraries into the apertre Library.
    This is true for Aperture 3.3. and iPhoto 9.3 and later. You need MacOS 10.7.4 or later.

  • I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.

    No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

    how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

    Yes.  You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
    If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

    If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.
