Forcing iPhoto to sync *from* my iPad

Hi there,
I have a small problem.
When I first got my iPad I synced it with my Mac Book Pro and iPhoto. But I wasn't really using my iPad for photos and wasn't using iPhoto either so I deleted the iPhoto library to save some space on my hard drive.
Now I do have some photos on my iPad, organized in albums so I'd like it to sync with iPhoto. I created a new library and started to sync. But I keep getting a message from iTunes telling me my iPad is synced with another library, and the only suggestion it gives is to delete all the content of my iPad and replace it with the content of iPhoto. But that would mean loosing the album organisation I did...
I'm wondering if there is a way to ask iTunes to do it the other way round : replace all the content of iPhoto with what's on my iPad...
Just in case, I'm using :
Mac OS X 10.7.3
iPhoto 11 (9.2.1)
iTunes 10.5.3
iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Maximilien

It will be interesting to see what solutions you get.  My cynical answer is do your album work on the computer, and sync to the pad.  Any ablum work done on the pad is for the convenience of the pad and does not go upstream at all.
I hope you get a better answer.
By the way, if you don't, just sit tight.  With a new pad will likely come a new iOS version, and there is always. Discussions about improved photo handling.  No one knows if this might be included this time around, but you will find out soon enough.

  • Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

    Hello all.  I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
    It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer.  So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer.  I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
    I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have.  None of the video podcasts synced.
    Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
    Thank you in advance!

    Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
    Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine.  Just the video podcasts are not.
    Thanks.

  • HT1386 stuck on waiting to sync from my iPad to my MacBook Pro

    stuck on waiting to sync from my iPad to my MacBook Pro

    Stop the sync and try again. Click on the X in the iTunes progress bar at the top to stop the sync. Eject the iPad. Quit iTunes, restart your Mac, reset your iPad and then try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Because I have been a Mac user since 1989, I have many, many docs that are created in programs not campatible with 10. 7, so I still use a manual sync with snow leopard and my ipad, not the cloud as it is not available on snow leopard. I am signed on in both places with my one ID and password

  • IPhoto incorrectly syncs from iTunes

    I just downloaded 6.0 on my iPad2, and now my iPhoto is all screwed up (again).
    I had a tough time getting images I didn't want off the iPad, then setting up the iTunes sync from the desktop iPhoto  (OSX 10.6.8) so it only sees/syncs one iPhoto folder.  But since 6.0, it now has "recreated" several different folders and downloaded dozens of images (including RAW images I really don't want on the iPad) it keeps creating, then dropping images out of iPhoto that are specifically blocked from syncing.
    Here's a screen grab of iTunes on the desktop that shows the sybcing setup. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks, Brian

    Normally when you set the iPod to autosync it will disconnect when the sync is complete (although still show in iTunes) where the iPod no longer says "Do Not Disconnect". However it still should keep charging.
    If it doesn't keep charging because Windows shuts off the power to the USB port when the iPod disconnects, one solution is to check the box in iTunes on the iPod summary page to Enable Disk Mode. This will cause the iPod to also mount as a drive on your computer but will leave it connected until you eject it from iTunes. This will force Windows to keep the USB power applied.

  • My iMessages aren't syncing from my iPads to my IPhone

    My iMessages aren't syncing from my iPhone to my iPads or from my iPads to each other. Why?

    Hey Ineedhelp2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iMessage across your iOS devices. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information that you may find helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Can I sync from an ipad to a new laptop?

    My original laptop died, but I have Firefox Home installed and sync'd with old laptop on my iPad.
    Can I import my bookmarks etc from my ipad/Firefox Home to my new laptop? If so how?
    Thanks

    Hi Ben,
    Unfortunately Firefox Home only receives information and doesn't upload anything. That said, if you still have the Recovery key you can save your data if that's in our servers: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
    Let me know if that helps.

  • HT1386 I lost my music on iPod how do I sync from my iPad ugh?

    Help!

    You don't synch from your iPad.  You synch all mobile devices to a master libary on a computer.  If these are just iTunes Store purchases you can download them directly to a device that is enabled for networking.

  • How do I get hi-res photos from iPhoto to sync with new iPad

    I hooked my new iPad up, and synced my iPhoto library to it, but once I went to view the photos on the iPad, it looks like they have all been turned into super low-resolution grainy versions.
    I was wondering if anyone had any luck getting full-size photos to sync - I have lots of space and a retina display so I want full versions of my photos.
    FWIW, I also sync an iphone with the same Mac; and I know for the iPhone that iTunes will reduce photo resolution before syncing to save space. I am guessing maybe my sync with the new iPad just re-used those lo-res versions - so I am hoping there must be some way to force iTunes to NOT use those versions of the photos.

  • IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to  after update

    After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
    I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
    No difference if wire or wifi.
    My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
    Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
    Anybody see similare issues?

    YES!  Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all.  Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi.  My mac won't recognize my iphone at all.  Doesn't even show up in finder.  Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

  • I cannot get old notes to sync from my iPad to iCloud.

    I have hundreds of notes on my iPad 2. They were originally created on an old iPhone 4S and synced over to the iPad 2. The iPhone 4S is now gone. I bought a iPhone 5S. I can create notes on my iPad 2 and sync them to iCloud (which then goes to the iPhone).  I can do the same in reverse: iPhone 5S to iCloud to iPad 2.  However I cannot find a way to get the hundreds of old notes on my iPad 2 to go to iCloud and then to the iPhone 5S. Apple is telling me that I'll have to hand-enter the hundreds of notes.  There HAS to be a better way!

    It will be recognised as a camera if you've got photos on it that were taken with it, copied to via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc i.e. non-computer synced photos (it's the way by which they can be copied off the iPad : if you want to turn the camera feature offthen there are instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
    In terms of iTunes, have you got the most recent version ? If you've tried rebooting your computer and it still doesn't appear, then there is troubleshooting help here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for PC, and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Mac

  • Iphoto imported photos from my ipad but not from the "photo stream"- why?

    I'm trying to get all files off my brother's old ipad before restoring it. I imported photos onto my computer using iphoto, but it didn't import the photos in the "photostream" on the ipad- why not? I saw that iphoto will only import photos that were taken on the ipad but I'm pretty certain these were. Thank you.

    Let me try and explain it this way.
    Say I have taken ten pictures, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
    These were imported to iPhoto and went into an event it created called June 2013 Photostream. They were all imported and showed up in order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
    Some of them I have now tagged faces in etc.
    When I go back now and look in the June 2013 Photostream I only see 1,3,4,5,6,9,10
    But if I look in the last 12 months album I still see 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in the right place and the right order
    Pictures 5,6,7,8 all had my face tagged and when I look in my face album 5,6,7,8 all show in the right place in the right order.
    I have got iPhoto to rebuild the library etc and they do not go back to showing in the Photostream import folder.
