Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot..... 
thank u

  • How can I sync contacts in my address book to my iPod Touch 2nd Generation with iTunes 10.5.2?

    My iPod Touch with OS 4.2.1 will no longer sync contacts from my address book on my computer now that I've upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 and to Lion.  I have ensured that the iPod Touch is set to synchronize all my contacts.   The calendar continues to sync.

    I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

    What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
    without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
    6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
    It has not worked since that day.  It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
    iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does.  itunes does not
    recognize the iPod.  My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device. 
    Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
    computer it did not recognize the iPod
    I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something.  The depression prohibited me from taking action.
    I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
    sources.  I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
    Apple employees etc etc.  I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
    number procedure using only button on the iPod.  These were unsuccessful
    also have performed.
    Please do not ask me to do the usual.
    Online I saw  a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
    reformat 
    the iPod.  It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
    etc.  I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
    I have lost contact with him.  This is the procedure, I believe, that with
    enable me to update and use the iPod. 

    You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

  • Hi my name is Timothy and I have had my iPod Touch 4th Generation 32 GB for about 8 months and when I got it, it was fast but now i updated it to 6.1.6 and it goes really slow i have only used 6.8 GB of space on it and there is 21.7 GB left on it.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    The try
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • How can I delete all songs and data from my 80GB ipod classic without opening itunes?

    I have an older 80GB ipod classic that works but will not play any songs. I'm trying to delete all songs and data from the hard drive to see if that will fix the problem, however, it will not appear in my itunes. I've tried various ways to help it appear in my itunes but I do not want to delete my itunes because I have another ipod that has all those songs on it.
    I was wondering if there was a way to restore my ipod back to the beginning without having to go through itunes. Thanks!

    It might, but I wouldn't bet much on it.  Either way, give it a shot.
    Otherwise, if appears in Windows an external hard disk, try a low level reformat of the device's hard drive.  See here for instructions on how to do this.

  • Can I sync all the apps I purchased on my iPod touch to my new iPhone?

    Yes, you can sync your iPhone just as you did your Touch and get the same songs, apps, video, etc.

  • Can't transfer all of my music from my old iPod Touch to my new one?

    Recently I purchased a new iPod Touch to replace my well-used, three-year-old one.
    I would like to remove the music from my old iPod to the iTunes library on the computer, and then sync it on to my new iPod.
    Most of the music I wanted to transfer was already in the library, so that was easy to do. However, I have roughly 20 songs that are not in my iTunes library, but are on my old iPod. I have tried and tried to get them into the library to transfer them, but I can't do it.
    Is this even possible? How would I go about doing it?

    Are these songs ones you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, the "Transfer purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes should work. Have you tried that?
    If these are not songs from the iTunes Store, you'll need third-party software to get them back into iTunes. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options:

  • Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?

    I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation.  I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system.  My questions are:
    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    Yes.  See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    Songs prices vary.  Any where from free to a couple of dollars.  You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped.  That's about all I will offer though.
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
    8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

  • Is there any way to retrieve pictures from a lost iPod touch (4th generation)?

    I lost my iPod awhile back and it had some really important photos on it. It recently has been bugging me a lot and can't seem to find anything to solve my problem.

  • Can Modern Combat 3 play on a TV with an iPod touch 4th generation?

    I saw the pictures on the app store and thought maybe I could play Modern Combat 3 on the TV but I wasn't sure if it was only the iPhone 4S.  I know that there are other games for the older iPod models that play on the TV.  Also, is it only with Apple TV, or is it with an HDMI or composite cable?

    Once you play it through your $7 is gone, like a movie rental, watch once and it's gone in a few hours.
    At least with $60, I can play for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a entire year against other people in different maps, around the world 24/7 and always have a lot of fun.
    Cost of gameplay $1.16 per hour for 6 hours on your game and $.02 a hour on the $60 game.
    Cheaper is not always a better value, I could spend my time in a bar, but that would cost about $5-$10 a hour plus tips.

    Plus, can you take your game with you wherever you want?
    No I can't. That's the advantage you have with a small, less powerful device, on the other hand I can drive a 1080i HDTV with full 3D graphics and you can't.
    Gaming is not going to be stuck to consoles anymore.
    3D Gaming is only getting stronger on consoles because of it's powerful dedicated aspect and lower prices, in fact a PS3 is likely around the same price as a iPod touch, Apple is even considering discontinuing it's MacPro like due to lack of sales.
    Both devices have different uses, one portable and the other not and more powerful, both are not going anywhere.
    Apple is making this a reality with the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
    Apple is stuck at a dual core atom like processor, they can't make games any better than what you see now.
    More cores and more game details require heftier processors, more battery and more cooling which can't be delivered in the iPod/iPad form factor.
    The only room for 3D game expansion is consoles, and perhaps Windows towers where there is no power, heat or cooling issues.
    However consoles are cheaper and plentiful, affordable to more people.
    Soon the graphics quality of iPhones and iPod Touches are going to disgust people with their low image quality as their expectations rise.
    You don't know what you're missing out on ds store.  Trust me it's not just following some movie and shooting a few targets!  And no I'm not just some kid on here either.  I have had people think that before.
    I've seen the videos of MW3 on YouTube, it's simply no comparison to a PS3 or Call of Duty on a tower.
    I have no need to take games with me, it's embarrasing as it is that I play them in private, but it's very cheap entertainment during this bad economy.
    FYI, MW3 can't be played on the HDTV from a iPod because a iPod lacks a video card and power that can generate enough drive to send it to a HDTV, even if it did, the image on the HDTV would be tiny like it is on the iPod screen.
    If it was blown up to fit the HDTV, it would disintegrate as there is a lack of pixel quality on the tiny iPod screen enough to scale to 1080i or even 720p.
    More pixels needs more powerful video cards/processors.
    A PS3 has a nine (9) core Cell processor to run the game and the graphics in high detail for a 1080i 1920 x 1200 pixel screen, it requires a lot of power and heat, thus powerful cooling.
    There is no way a tiny atom like weak processor like the iPods A5 can handle it.
    You might be able to take your limited iPod game with you, but your question was IF you could output the iPod game on the HDTV which I answered negative.

  • Can't get landscape mode with Qmix app on my iPod touch 4th generation....

    I cannot get my iPod touch to go into landscape mode either with the calculator or with my Persons Qmix software app. I have no problems on the iPhone or iPad, but it has all of a sudden stopped working. I tried rebooting the OS, a reset and the orientation lock is off on the unit...help?

    Well, it went into landscape mode and I used it with QMix several times, then all of a sudden it would not go into landscape mode for ANYTHING not just QMix and Ihave tried double tapping on the bottom and making sure the orientation lock was not on......any other ideas? Im thinking i may have to send it to Apple to get this resolved...

  • How to get sound and notifications to work on iPod Touch 4th Generation. Version 6.1.2

    I would like to know how I can get the sound and notification on the screen when I'm using Facebook. When I go to settings and scroll down to Facebook, open the notifications under the logo, then go to notifications and open that I get this message that says, "Notification settings, including push notification settings, are locted inside the app. Open your bookmarks and tap Account Settings." Now I tried that and it didn't get me anywhere, unless I didn't go to the right thing, so if someone can help me figure this out asap, that would be very greatly appreciated.

    On your iPod tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Or you can do it on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
