Can't sync photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone 3GS

Hi, I'm having no problems getting photos off my iphone and currently have an empty camera roll. The problem is, I can't get photo albums to sync from iTunes. I get an 'unknown error (-50) each time.
No problem with syncing a folder, but that's a pain as it's a much more tedious way of doing things.
All software us upto date in iTunes, iPhoto, iPhone and I'm running Leopard on a MacBook.
Driving me mad..
HELP!

Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.
Help!

  • Can't Synch Selected Albums from iPhoto to iPhone

    I'm trying to sync "Selected Albums" in iPhoto from iTunes, but the option is grayed out, so I can only choose "All photos and albums." I do have albums created in iPhoto. What's the problem?

    I'm having the same problem as well. My iPhoto has about 15 albums, all with standard naming conventions (no numbers, letters, crazy characters) and I only have the option to sync "all photos" or "last import." iPhone does not recognize any of the albums I have created in iPhone. I can sync all photos, but I've got a couple gig worth of photos that I don't need on my iPhone.

  • Synchronizing photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone/iPad

    Next Monday I will receive the iMac in my signature and I'm planning how to set up everything.
    In iTunes if I select as Photo source iPhoto what kind of albums can I see?
    Lets imagine that structure in iPhoto
    Albums
    + Vacation
    + Maldives
    - December 2006
    - Junuary 2009
    + Red Sea
    - May 2007
    - July 2010
    + Birthday
    - Riccardo
    - Anna
    With that structure in iTunes I will see (and Icould select to sync):
    - Vacation and Birthday (like with windows when you select form Images)
    - the last child so December 2006, Junuary 2009, May 2007, July 2010, Riccardo, Anna
    - Or the whole tree
    Many thanks in advance

    You will be able to select those any of those individual albums as a whole, and all the photos within the album. However, you cannot choose individual photos inside of those albums. It will only allow you to do entire albums. As long as you're running iLife '08, you will have the option to sync events, and iLife '09 adds the option to sync Faces as well.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • 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.

  • I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

    I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

  • I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    You do not move the albums - you move the entire iphoto library intake as a single entity
    Make sure your external drive is formatted Ma OS extended (journaled) - then
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    Which iPhoto version did you update to?
    If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
    Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
    You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
    If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

  • I'd like help troubleshooting moving albums from iPhoto to iPhone

    Help! I'm having trouble moving iPhoto (OS 10.7.4) albums/photos back to iPhone 4S (OS 5.1.1). I previously uploaded all photos from iphone to iphoto and parsed into albums. I deleted all photos from iphone. I followed apple instructions to move selected albums from iphoto to iphone, and iTunes shows synched, but no albums or images on displaying on my iPhone.
    Thanks in advance for assistance!

    Free up space on my HD
    Move current photos to my "Mac My Book" 1TB
    Insure moving forward all new photos are stored and accessed to and from the My Book
    This is clearly a request to move the iPhoto library to an external hard drive and run it there
    The instructions for doing that are

    It is NOT possible to do that on a USB Stick!

    Contacts should be in your supported computer contacts application.
    Did you sync with your computer befor? Check your computer's Address book/Contacts/Outlook or some other contacts application.
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.

  • HT2265 for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are events, can I include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow

    for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are photos in the events section of iphoto. is it possible to include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow  pls help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are referring to the screensaver. You can change the photos used by the screensaver in the screensaver settings. Note if you have a large number of photos in the collection you choose for screensaver, not all of them will be used due to the limited storage available to the Apple TV.

  • Can you sync photo editing from iPhone to Mac

    I synced some iPhoto events from my Mac to the new iPhoto app on my iPhone. Then I edited some pictures, red-eye removal and warm/cool balance. Is there a way that the changes to my photo can be copied to iPhoto on my Mac because it doesn't seem to work automatically through syncing.

    Connect your iPhone with the cable.
    In iTunes, select your phone under Devices and go to the Photos tab on the right.
    There you can say "Sync photos from iPhoto" and also select which events you want to sync.
    So the photo's sync. But what does NOT sync, is the editing of photo's on your phone, such as red-eye removal.

  • I can't get an album from iPhoto to a flash drive

    How do I get an album in iPhoto to a flash drive?How do I get an album from IPhoto to a flash drive????

    Couple of things:
    was able to use the iPhoto Export menu and export directly to an external flash drive. I was also able to select and drag the photos from iPhoto directly to the drive
    Depending on the settings used that can yield exporting and dragging can produce very different results.  This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    and apparently the limit on the number of files is above anything I have done so far.
    The limit is to the number of items on the Tope Level I of the drive. I can't recall it exactly but it's a multiple of 32, hence the trick is to put the image into a folder, that way there's only one item at the top level.
