Cannot choose selected folders in photos

I cannot choose selected folders in photos. I just downloaded version 4.3.4 and I am still unable to do this. I had no problem with this until the last two updates. Any ideas?

Perhaps a bit more detail on what your problem is would help. Are you using a Mac or PC? What photo software on your computer? Are you talking about albums when you mention folders. Is iTunes involved here when you speak of folders?
Note iOS 4.3.4 only contains a fix for a PDF problem.

Unable to choose 'selected folders' in iTunes

help guys! im using Windows XP and my problem is can't choose 'selected folders' in Photos section of my iTunes. what should i do?

I'm running itunes 9.2 with iOS4 on my 3Gs..
After I upgrade to 9.2, I found that under "info" tab, all my selected group disappear both on my contacts & calendars. then i tried several fix and now problem solved.. hope following tips can help.
1) make sure your outlook, tools/Trust Center/add-ins : both 1) itunes outlook addin and 2) Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service is *active & loaded*
2) On ur itunes/iphone section : hen u switch between tabs ( info/photos/music/app....) each time if u back to info section, an apple program call " mingler.exe " will be executed and check on the outlook contact & calendar section to refresh the groups, the reasons that groups doesn't show up mainly because this program didn't run. So what I did is uninstall itunes, then goto C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple and delete the whole Mobile Device Support folder, then restart ur PC. Now reinstall itunes, and the Mobile Device Support will be installed back, U may rename the old folder as backup as well. After itunes installed, plug in ur iphone, and switch to info tab, groups may not show ye, so u have to switch to other tab and back to info again, coz each switch will trigger itunes to run the Mingler.exe and to refresh the contact & calendar groups.
U can also open task manager to see whether mingler.exe is running, in my case, i need to wait few minutes until mingler.exe start to run, and it takes another few minutes to wait for the groups to show under itunes. Once the mingler.exe is running, u can be sure the groups will show up on ur itunes.
Hope my little experience can help

HT4236 Synching photos, can't choose "selected folders"

I'm trying to import photos from PC to iPhone, but it won't let me select "selected folders" It's greyed out and I can't click on it. It will only let me select one folder above and if I try to do another after that, it deletes the first batch.

Solution from riderworks on another thread worked. thanks a lot!

Photos: "Selected folders" grayed out.

I've been having issues syncing photos to my ipad mini. 1. the "Selected folders" option is grayed out so I can't choose that. 2. When I sync anything it replaces the album I syncing previously. Basically, I can't put any albums on by syncing in iTunes. Any ideas?

Figured it out -- needed to select the proper folder...D'oh!

HT4236 Trouble syncing photos as "selected folders"

Can anyone please help? I'm having trouble uploading photos from my computer to my I-phone device.
The problem I'm having is I'm trying to sync photos to my i phone device and "select specific folders" and although this is never been a problem in the past prior to downloading I-tunes 11, it's not allowing me to sync selected photos (only allowing me to select all folders) as the appropraite selection to "sync selected folders" is blocked out and will not allow me to manually switch to it.
I've tried changing settings etc and seeing if there's anything that can allow me to do this, but have had no luck.
Can Anyone help please?????

Put all the folders (or a shortcut to those folders) with photos into one folder and select that top level folder.
Then you can tick Selected folders and pick the subfolders.
The photos do not all need to be in one single folder.
Each folder will be a separate album in the Photos app.

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.

TS1398 WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

Suddenly my WiFi connection on iPhone 4S is kapput. WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

I have the same issue - and I've tried everything listed in these forums and more. Nothing has worked - and I've had the phone less than 24 hours.
I took it to an Apple store to see a Genius this afternoon. They don't say what is wrong, but offered to replace the phone however BEWARE - when they say they will replace it, they often mean with a refurbished device, they will not replace it with a new device. Because I bought mine from a different retailer, even though it is an Apple device failed less than 24 hours out of the box, Apple will not give me a new phone - they acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect, and couldn't understand why I was not satisfied with receiving a refurbished device. This seems ridiculous to me - I'm a long-time, repeat customer - but that doesn't appear to matter. I've heard great things about Apple customer service, now that I've needed it, I've found it isn't so great after all.
I got in touch with the retailer from whom I purchase the phone - they were shocked that Apple would not replace it - especially since I have Apple Care. They are now trying to get it worked out and obtain a new phone for me.

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Unable to choose "Selected albums, events and faces..." when Syncing photo

I am unable to choose "Selected albums, events and faces ..." from the Photos tab when syncing my iPhone. There are several albums set up in my iPhoto but the only choice I am allowed to make is "All photos, albums and faces". The other choice is grayed out.
My iPhoto version is 8.1.1 and my iTunes version is 9.0.2 and OSX is 10.6.2.
Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?
Thanks

Hello - I had the exact same problem that you had. Looking through various discussion sites, the problem seems to be in the Albumdata.xml file in my iPhoto Library. (Visible through Pictures/iPhoto_LIbrary then by selecting "show package contents" through the right click.) When that file is corrupted, iTunes is unable to see albums, events, etc.
I'm guessing that the song for one of my slideshows in iPhoto had a song that had an "&" in it, because when I deleted the slideshow, the problem was solved. This also happened with another user in another discussion forum that I looked through - in his case, he just changed the song. (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=355813) Hope this helps.

Sync Photo Selected folders option not working anymore in iTunes 10

I used to sync selected subfolders with photos using iTunes on my AppleTv
Now no matter what I select it copies the whole root directory
As workaround I had to create a new folder with all the subfolders I wanted and use the all folders options

Yes, I have the same - I now have to select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from "iPhone" to acheive this.
I think it's a known "feature"

Bug!cannot choose photo to mail in album

Bug！cannot choose photo to mail in album

I can confirm that this happens +only when in Edit mode+.
It works exactly as it should in Organisation mode.
I'm not sure it's a bug. It strikes me as intentional. After all I can't drag anything to another Album (i.e Organise) when I'm in edit mode.
I don't recall this being a feature of iPhoto 08.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

I have event folders in photo that no longer exist that I cannot unsync. Suggestions please?

I have discovered that I have event folders in photo that no longer exist on my imac so they are not listed in the itunes list, therefore I have no way to uncheck them in order to unsync them. Any suggestions?

I have already tried your suggestion. When I unsync all photo's I am left with event folders that no longer exist in my iphoto program that are still on the ipad (Oddly, they are folders that were condensed into one larger event). So when I go into itunes there are no folder options to check that would allow me to unsync them. Very frustrating.

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

Duplicate folders in photos - the solution

Starting with iOS 5 I was frustrated that I had what appears to be duplicate folders in Photos.
The iPhone one, Photo Library, and the one that I sync from on my computer.
Both had the same pictures
Problem solved....
It turns out that if you add a sub folder to the one on your computer you sync with (Wallpaper, Family, or whatever)
you will see "Photo Library" which will contain all the pictures from the folder you sync with and
"Wallpaper", "Family", or whatever folders below it with only the pictures you place in this sub folder on your computer.
In otherwords iOS5 expects you to break up the pictures in the folder you sync with into focused catagories.
Neat...
Be sure you have "All folders" turned on when you sync

This has been the same since day one with iOS 1.0 with the original iPhone.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums or folders below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums or folders of photos below are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
This way you can view the photos in an album or folder only by selecting the album or folder, or you can view all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
A photo cannot be in an album or folder without being in the Photo Library.
