Can't Sync Photos Album on iMac to iPad

I have created a new album in Photos and tried to sync it from my iMac to my iPad using the iTunes approach used before with iPhoto. I click the Sync photos button. It shows the Photos icon and name but shows 0 photos there. I click selected albums and it shows none. I click "Automatically include photos from last three months". It transfers nothing. Any ideas on how to solve this? ( iTunes 12.1.2 and I am not using the iCloud Library for my photos)

iTunes is syncing with the main System Photos Library. Only one of your Photos libraries can be the System Photos Library.
If iTunes is showing an empty library, your photos an albums may be in a different library than iTuns is syncing with.
While viewing your Photos Library with the album you want to upload to your iPad, open the Photos Preferences.
Make sure, the option "use as System Photos Library" is dimmed in the General Preferences. That means, that this library has already been enabled as the System Photos Library. If this option is not dimmed, click it.

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

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!

I could be wrong, but I believe this functionality is coming in iOS5, due "this fall" from Apple.

Can't sync photo albums to iPad after update

I just updated my ipad2 to 5.0, and am running the current version of iTunes on a windows vista pc. And can not sync my photo albums to my iPad 2. Please help? I tried and while in iTunes , when iPad is connected, the summary page says my photos are on the iPad, they are not actually on the iPad. I go to photos on the iPad and there are outlines of the albums with their names on them, but no pictures inside. Can anyone help please?:)))

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

HT1535 can i sync an album created on my ipad back to my mac

I sync my iPad with my Mac. All the photos on my mac are therefore also on my iPad. From these photos I have not created an album on my iPad. Can I access this album on my mac?

The albums that you create on the iPad in the preinstalled Photos app are locally stored photos in the app itself. You cannot import those folders back onto the Mac. Those folders only contain pointers to the actual photos that are included in the albums and not copies of the photos themselves.

Does this answer your question?

ITunes doesn't "see" iPhoto and can't sync photos, albums or events.

When I connect my iPod Video 30Gb, iTunes launches like a champ.
Clicking on the Photo tab within the iPod setting screen displays a dimmed reference to iPhoto.
Enabling this option fails to display any of the 300+ events nor any photos.
In fact, the screen says at the bottom "Coping photos from iPhoto requires iPhoto 4.0.3 or later.
I have:
iPhoto 7.0.2 (341) (part of iLife '08)
iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
Mac 10.4.10
I've already rebuilt the albumdata.xml file inside the iPhoto package. No luck.
I have iPhoto Library Manager (great tool, btw) and have:
checked permissions - all are read & write even though the iPhoto Library is on a permissions free drive.
created a new Library - no change
It is as if iTunes thinks I have an old copy of iPhoto. Before I reinstall iPhoto and/or iTunes .... thoughts?

I was having a similar problem after updating to iLife '08 and Leopard. No matter what I did in iPhoto (creating new albums or deleting old ones), iTunes always showed my old iPhoto album list and all were empty. I finally deleted albumdata.xml and restarted iPhoto and iTunes and violå, iTunes suddenly showed the correct (current) iPhoto album list.

I can't sync photos and music to my iPad afternoon updated to ISO5

After updating to IOS5, i can't upload my photos and music to my dad's iPad. My and my mom's iPhone 4 are OK. We just have problem with my dad's iPad.
I just updated it to 5.0.1, it's still not working.
Anyone has the same problem?
And can anyone help?
Sorry, I'm not sure how to search this forum, if this question has been asked and answered, can someone tell me how to search the forum.
Thank you very much.

I loaded the photos through iTunes from iPhoto, the folder is on my computer in iPhotos. And still checked in iTunes. Here is the exact message I get when I click on "Synch Music":
Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPhone “Arthur Fenster’s iPhone” will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
Maybe I am misinterpreting but it sounds like "existing content" means the photos, which can be put back on but then I suspect the music will be replaced.

HT4236 how can I sync photos from iphone5 to aperture on my iMac? appreciate any help : )

How can I sync photos from iphone5 to aperture3 on imac OS 10.8.4?
Thanks for response. : )

You can't sync, but you should be able to import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with Aperture as with any other digital camera.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Is your iPhone not recognized by Aperture when connected to your computer?
If not, is your iPhone recongnized by iPhoto or the Image Capture application when connected?

How can I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad.

How can I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad? When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
Help appreciated
David

I've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
OK here is my senario:
Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
This is what I did thinking it should work...
1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Synced photo album in ipad cannot be deleted

Few days ago, I synced a photo ablum into ipad.
When I want to delete the synced photo album today, I didn't find any albums in itunes.
However, I found I hv deleted the ipod photo cache folder that ican't delete the photo album.
So, is there any other ways to delete?
Thx very much.

Backing up with iCloud would not backup synced photos anyway. iCloud only works photos that you take with the iPad.
There are third party WiFi apps that will allow you to transfer the photos back to the Mac. You download the app to both devices and then you can send photos and videos to and from each device.
I use this one. There are others available in the App Store.
