Can't sync album from iphoto 9.4.1 to iphone 5

I can't seem to be able to sync my photo albums onto my new phone. I back up to the cloud but I believe you have to sync with your computer to get your photo albums on your phone. So I selected the name of my photo album and sync but nothing happens.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto. I keep getting the following error:
"The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

Can't Sync Photos from iPhoto

Since I got my iPod last December, I have not been able to sync photos from iPhoto 4.0.3. When I select iPhoto in the Photos preferences of my iPod, none of my albums show up and when I try to update it, I get a message: "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
It's not a serious problem because I can still get my photos on there by selecting my iPhoto library folder as a source, but I would like to have access to my photo albums from the iPod.

Anyone? Please??

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPad w/ new version of iTunes.

In the last version of iTunes you were able to select the albums that you wanted to sync from iPhoto and now I can't find it in the new version. Please help!

Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library Beta on your iPad in the Settings > iCloud > Photos ? Then syncing Photos using iTunes Photo Sync will be disabled. If you want to sync your iPhoto Library using iTunes disable iCloud Photo Library Beta on the iPad, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Otherwise syncing photos from iPhoto and selecting albums in iPhoto will work as before.

Can't sync "Photos from iPhoto selected albums"

I used to be able to see all my iPhoto albums through the iTunes sync to get them on my iPhone. Now I can't see them and that option seems not to be available. I'd really like to just be able to sync some albums but not all and this way I can make a nice composite album of puppy pictures to load onto my iPhone. Any suggestions. I tried rebuilding my iPhoto library but that didn't help.

Well, i have the latest version of itunes installed and I think it's only about a week or two old so it actually has been reinstalled recently. I also just noticed that the option isn't available to sync albums to my appleTV either. This is annoying.

Since the most recent iPhoto upgrade, I can't sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone or iPad. This is so frustrating! whereas previously all I had to do was put 'sync' as a keyword,

Why can I no longer export photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad? Previously, when I used 'sync' as a keyword for a photo, it automatically exported to the other devices when they were synced with computer. This no longer happens so I don't know how to get photos from the computer onto my iPhone & iPad. Can anyone help as it's most annoying. So often updating software has really negative side-effects such as this.

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

IPhone 6 will not sync albums from iPhoto on Mac

I checked sync over WiFi, and I have my computer set up to sync all my iPhoto albums, but the phone will not add any of the photos or videos.

I was having a similar issue here... see if the suggestion helps of first copying from iTunes library to phone... (?)

Can't sync photo from iPhoto to apple tv

I used to be able to select photos from iPhoto via iTunes to play on my tv with my Apple TV Generation #1. Now it doesn't work anymore.

I'm having this too, its doing my head in - I thought Apple was renowned for being stable and simplistic to get on with, appears itunes has just lost the ability to find photo's when i select 'select photo's to share'.. i just get a spinning thing while it thinks forever and it never actually finda anything to enable me to select.
I tried a few solutions and one time it did find my aperture library (Although I wanted my iphoto library but this wasn't selectable) and when I selected it it said there were no photo's!? (I have about 3000 photo's in my iphoto library which is merged with Aperture)
This used to 'just' work, but appears since updating to Mavericks (Just a guess) this feature has either been disabled or there's a bug.
Apple Heeellllp!

Can you move albums from iPhoto 06 to iPhoro 08?

I have a new MAC on the way and a couple thousand pics in my iPhoto. I back up my iPhoto to an external drive via cut and paste. Is there a way to move iPhoto with all the albums set-up so I dont have to re-create those? I am a novice on this side of how a MAC works.
Whatever is the best method please let me know.
Todd.

Todd:
Yes. The correct way to transfer a library from one Mac to another is to copy the library folder into the Pictures folder of the new Mac. This is assuming you don't already have a library there with pictures in it. Next launch iPhoto and it will tell you that the library needs to be upgraded to the latest version. Give it the OK and you're set to go.
As a precaution before you launch iPhoto on the old verison you might want to download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This will assure that all ownership and permissions issues are covered before iPhoto begins the conversion.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can't sync albums from new location

Hi I moved all my photos to a secondary drive (all in the one structure) and tried to sync them to iTouch and iPhone from there. From the old "MyPictures" folder I can sync that older and select whatever subfolders I want as albums but from the new location the only way I can get the photographs to load across is to sync from the album level which means I can only ever have one album - itunes just locks in sync mode (all night) and wont transfer.
Any suggestions?

Why not? What happens when you try to sync? Are you trying to sync with the same computer you normally sync it with or is this a new/different iTunes library?

How can i sync albums from ITouch to new computer?

My music Library is on my computer back home (Scotland), i am in Australia and want to get all my music on to laptop im using here.
If i sync it says it will only copy over items i have purchased from ITunes store and will clear my Itouch of the rest of my music.
Same goes if i copy CD's on to this computer, how can i get it on to the ITouch without losing the music i have on it already??
Can anyone help??

Try one of the third-party utilities such as Floola or Senuti - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
iPod Touches are one way sync devices. You sync music TO the Touch, NOT FROM the Touch. By design an iPod device is not intended to be used for transferring data between computers. Third-party software such as mentioned above is intended to overcome this limitation but on a limited basis.
Unfortunately, your iTunes library folder in Scotland has everything you synced to your Touch. If you now try to sync from a different computer and your library is no longer present, iTunes will attempt to erase everything on the Touch assuming you intend to do a completely different library sync. Obviously this is not your intended result. With any luck you can re-create your iTunes library using the third-party software that's available. Hope you are successful.

Can't sync videos from iPhoto to iPhone

My pictures sync fine, but can't get the videos I shot with my camera to sync to my iPhone. Size-wise, they are within the limits allowed. Any suggestions?

iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.
