Designated folder for syncing photos from my DSLR camera to my iPod was moved. Where has it gone?

After installing iOS6, I noticed the folder I had designated for syncing photos from my DSLR camera to my iPod was moved. I'm under the assumption it was moved and not destroyed because the photos have remained on my iPod and I have since synced my device. Where has the folder gone?

I'm gonna punt....
When you synch, is your DSLR connected to your computer?
HINT: The camera probably shows up as a removeable disk, and your pictures are in a folder called "DCIM", or perhaps a subfolder of DCIM...

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

Having trouble importing photos from Panasonic Lumix cameras. No error message 1 just has spinning ball, other can import using menu but ends with spinning ball. using 9.1.5 Mac OSX10.6.8. Have to restart to access iphoto

Hi I am trying to import photos into iPhoto using two Panasonic cameras both Lumix (DMC TZ3 and DMC FZ30). Worked in the past no problem, I upgrade system when prompted and am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When I attach cable from camera to Mac with the DMC TZ3 I get the spinning ball and nothing else and have to force quite and restart to access iphoto again without the spinning ball, with the DMC FZ30, when I plus in the cable I get an icon on the desktop and can go into iphoto and import the photos that way. When the photos have been imported I get the spinning ball again and have to restart the Mac to access iphoto without the spinning ball. Photos do import though.
Can anyone help, a really stupid, non-techie person who has no idea what she is doing, please?
Thank you

Try use a different cable.

Receiving "no items match your search" message when selecting folder to sync photos

I'm receiving a "no items match your search" message when selecting a folder to sync photos from my XP laptop to my iPod touch. While the iTunes photos tab indicates 0.18 GB of photos, no photos are being sync'ed to the iPod touch. Until last week, all my photos were sync'ing fine.

Try deleting the iPOd Photo Cache folder(s). There may be more than one. For their location:

Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

I don't know how transfer my photos from my Sony Camera using USB?

My MAC doesn't pop up any thing when I connect my Sony Camera model DSC-N1 on USB port? How can I transfer my photos? Thanks ...

The EXACT answer will depend on which OS and iPhoto you are using, but they all work as follows.
Provided that your Mac recognizes your camera's memory card, you should be able to use iPhoto's
FILE > IMPORT TO LIBRARY menu command, even if connecting your camera does not automatically find ("pop up") iPhoto. If you want your Mac to ALWAYS launch one specific app (such as iPhoto) when you connect your camera, you select which app via with your Mac's "Image Capture" application as follows:
Launch your Mac's "Image Capture" application and search Image Capture > Help for "Transferring items from your camera" (without the quotation marks.)
If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ImageCapture/6.0/en/5304.html
When your camera is connected and operating, you can use Image Capture to select whether and which application to launch automatically when you connect your camera in the future. The Image Capture 8 way of setting is shown in the following image:
For help with the iPhoto part, launch your Mac's "iPhoto" application and search iPhoto > Help for "Importing photos from a digital camera" (without the quotation marks.)
If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/6297.html
The exact steps may be slightly different if you are using some other version of iPhoto. If you cannot find what you need, post back which iPhoto and Mac OS X versions you are using and what specific issue is giving trouble, and we will try to offer tailored links.

ITunes 12.1.2.27 no option for application to sync photos from

I am having a problem with iTunes 12.1.2.27 not providing an option to select an application to sync photos from for my iPhone 6. Is anyone having similar issues?
Before everyone starts, yes, I have the latest version of iTunes, yes I have the latest version of iOS. I am trying to use Photos on my Macbook Pro to sync the pictures from a specific album to my iPhone 6.
Any and all information is appreciated!

Have you seen any other strings that are shedding any light on this issue? It's really becoming an issue for me & my family.

Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
Any thoughts welcome.
Duff
ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

Can no longer sync Photos from Airport Disk

I can no longer sync photos from my Airport Disk to my tv.
This used to work fine- When I first got the tv I checked the "sync photos from" option in the photos tab in iTunes, navigated to my network drive/ pictures folder and hit sync. The photos slowly copied over.
Just this week however, I went to add some new pictures and iTunes/ tv no longer sync. The status bar just spins saying "Syncing"...I have left it overnight with no change.
I have recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and Airport Extreme firmware, but that is about it in terms of changes/updates. Anyone have any ideas?
- Firewall is off
- Permissions seem ok on the Airpot Disk. Everything is read/write
- I have rebooted/ reset/ re-synced everything. It just hangs on Photos. Music etc go over fine.
Specs:
iMac G5 PowerPC
Airport Extreme N base station with OWC USB drive attached as airDisk
tv 1.0 40 gig - using ethernet connection to router
iTunes 7.4.2
I am really stumped! I think that the airport disk permissions or mount are still suspect but dont know what else to check.
Does iTunes spit out a log or write to the console? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
AC

I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC?

How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC? I just can't seem to figure it out. All I want to do is take the pictures i took with my iPhone camera and sync them to a folder on my PC (Windows Vista). Thanks for the help.

I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

Syncing photos from Adobe Bridge?

I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
Is it possible to sync photos TO an iPod from Adobe Bridge?
I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
(If you're not familiar with Adobe Bridge—it's a file browser/organizer that, unlike iPhoto, views the actual native folder structure on the computer, rather than having its own database separate from the file structure. Ordinarily you use Bridge to look at photos—or video files or whatever—directly in their containing folders. However, if you want, you can create collections or smart collections. These are exactly analogous to iPhoto's albums and smart albums, so I won't waste time describing them in detail.)
Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
The collections, incidentally, are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file). Smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with the iTunes "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that only hard links will work—not symbolic links to files, not symlinks to directories and certainly not aliases.
What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

The solution I finally came up with involves hard links, and two separate automator workflows. I posted about it in detail here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=103600
Hope this helps someone else.

Syncing photos from several folders in iTunes to iOS devices

Hi,
I am trying to set up iTunes to sync photos on my MacBook Pro to my iOS devices (first of all, my iPhone 5, but to my iPad mini and iPad 3 as well).
I happen to store my photos in a folder with a several level hierarchy: in the main photo folder there are folders for each year, in those there are folders for each event, and in those there is a separate folder for the subset of my photos that I want to be synced (photos that I like the most).
Apparently, iTunes allows to select folders for syncing in only 1 level of hierarchy. That would mean that one must not have separate folders for each year, nor for good and not-so-good photos - only one basic photo folder, and inside that folders for each event, and so every photo from selected events would be synced.
I tried a workaround: I created a specific new folder especially for syncing purposes, and I defined Smart Folders inside it. These Smart Folders would contain my desired photos virtually. (I didn't want to make physical copies of my photos, because I did not want to waste disc space.) But then it turned out that iTunes does not recognize photos in Smart Folders, only those in physical folders.
Can you give me a solution, how could I sync photos in iTunes to my iOS devices, if these photos are not in folders that are only one but more level deep in hierarchy?
Thanks a lot,
Mikulka

It works the way it works. I'd recommend you create a separate folder for any photos that you want to put on your devices, with one layer of subfolders as separate albums. Each device can sync with a different selection of those album folders.

Syncing photos from both aperture AND iphoto

Hi,
I'm a user of iPhoto and Aperture. I use both but for different needs. I used to sync my photos to AppleTV from iPhoto. But now, I would also like to sync from Aperture... It seems that iTunes keeps the settings for both software but can only sync from one at a time... Is there a way to sync photos from both sources at the same time on AppleTV ?
Thx !

Hi,
To keep you informed of my findings...
I decided to export photos from Aperture and iPhoto that I want to be displayed in a folder under the Pictures folder. Then, I ask iTunes to sync photos from that folder instead of Aperture or iPhoto... Seems to work fine so far...

Designated folder for syncing photos from my DSLR camera to my iPod was moved. Where has it gone?
