How do I get iPhoto to sync between my iMac and PowerBookPro?

I'm trying to sync the iPhoto libraries with 700-800 photos each, many of them duplicates, on my iMac and my MacBookPro. And I'm not finding a way to do that. Apparently the Cloud only syncs them if I use Aperture, which I don't want to do. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

  • How can I get iCloud to sync between iOS 6.1.3, OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3?

    I am running both OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3 on my iMac with iOS 6.1.3 on my iPod Touch.
    Everything is checked ON in the iCloud settings where those are available, in iOS, OSX 10.8 and in iCloud.com on my OSX 10.6.8 system.
    I either get no synchronisation, or a duplication of events. Apple Store Events which need to be clumsily downloaded from the website, double clicked on and hopefully added to Calendar, only randomly appear and rarely get announced. I can't see a pattern to anything.
    It currently won't sync between iCloud.com and Address Book, Calendar etc on the Mac let alone with iDevices (my wife has an iPad as well), despite partially syncing previously.
    It is erratic, obscure and totally unreliable as well as being a huge waste of my time.
    If I follow the iTunes instructions as well as the iCloud.com instructions generally nothing happens.
    In the Advanced pane of iCloud.com settings, I have selected the “In-app notifications” checkbox, and Saved. Doesn't work. Then I unselected and saved and closed iCloud.com. Then checked it all over again, still doesn't work.
    According to the settings it says it is sharing with the iPod Touch, but nothing happens.
    Previously a few events appeared belatedly at some later time, often after the event they were supposed to announce. Currently nothing is syncing.
    Most frustratingly I can't sync my Address Book/Contacts so have to manually include all the contact info in all my individual devices and systems.
    Has anybody got a surefire method of making the sync happen?

    That's correct but your 10.6.8 machine has no way to put it there unless you manually enter it on the website.
    That to sync data from iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard to the iCloud server you must manually register and connect to the iCloud.com website which I have done.
    You can't sync from Address Book or iCal in Snow Leopard.

    The syncing to the same data in Mountain Lion is done via the System Preferences > iCloud, which I have done.
    Supposedly that means the data on the iCloud server is then shared between the iPod Touch, SL and ML, but it is not.
    Because data entered on the SL machine never makes it from iCal or AB to iCloud or from iCloud to AB or iCal, the link breaks there.. You can use a 3rd party app (Soho) and use it instead of AB and iCal.
    But the problem exists on ML as well.
    I get only some Contacts and iCal events transferring.
    What you are seeing is probably from SL account which I use 95% of the time. Particularly my Address Book entries. I hardly entered any of those in ML, they virtually all come from SL and seem to have transferred previously. Possibly before the latest iOS updates, but I can't swear to that as I didn't check before/after.
    The vast majority of my Address Book entries appear in both iCloud.com and my iPod Touch, but not my latest changes.
    This is far from the "It just happens!" promised by Apple.

  • How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop  and my laptop?

    How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

    Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
    The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
    While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
    An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

  • How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
    Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
    Many thanks in advance!
    J

    In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
    There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
    It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
    It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
    If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

  • How to set up a home network between an iMac and Apple TV

    I have an iMac running Snow Leopard connected by Ethernet cable to the internet via a wireless-capable modem running at 5mbps.
    I want to network it to an Apple TV connected to my HDTV by an HDMI cable so I can run Netflix.  The TV is on the first floor at the back of the house.  The modem is on the third floor at the front of the house.  I estimate the distance between them to be about 65ft.  The set-up is such that it would be difficult to bring the two closer together.
    Could you please advise me the best way to set this up?  My concern is the distance from the modem to the Apple TV.  Would Airport Express used as an extender be needed and/or enough to link the two (this could be positioned approximately half-way)?  Or is there some other way to achieve the desired hook-up?
    I'm elderly and digitally challenged, so will need rather explicit step-by-step help !!!
    Many thanks.

    I have an iMac running Snow Leopard connected by Ethernet cable to the internet via a wireless-capable modem running at 5mbps.
    What is the make & model of this wireless-capable modem? If it is not an Apple product, then extending it with an AirPort Express (at least not by wireless) will not work.
    Assuming that it is not an Apple product, then the only other choice would be to connect the Apple TV by Ethernet. However, I can certainly understand if Ethernet is not desireable or practical ... so an alternative to that would be to use Powerline adapters. These adapters take advantage of your home's electrical circuit to create a pseudo Ethernet one. You would then need at least two of these adapters to be placed at the locations of the wireless modem and the Apple TV. Each adapter would be connected to an electrical wall outlet and a short Ethernet cable would run between the adapter and the device (modem & Apple TV) to complete the circuit.

  • BT Yahoo mail no longer syncs between two iMac and MacBook

    I've used BT Yahoo Mail on an iMac, Macbook and iPad successfully for some time with IMAP settings.  Following recent upgrades, the inbox is no longer kept in sync on the different computers.  Messages read on one computer are not marked as read on the other, and newly arrived incoming mail is not displayed on the second computer, having appeared on the first.  The only solution seems to be to rebuild the mailbox - tedious as it takes time, and you don't know until you try whether there is mail to be synced. 
    I'm using Mail 6.5 (1508) on the iMac, and Mail 5.3 (1283) on the MacBook.
    Is there any solution to this please?
    Thanks.

  • I created an album in Photos how do I get iPhoto to sync

    Could someone tell me how to get the album over to iPhoto?
    iPhoto is just saying I can import these photos but I've already grouped them on my iPad - would rather not do it again on Mac...

    You need to connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and start Image Capture or iPhoto to transfer photos in the Camera Roll to the Mac. Once the photos have copied over you can organize them into folders on your computer.
    Once that is done sync your iPad using iTunes on your computer to copy the albums over to the Photos app on your iPad.
    Then start iPhoto on your iPad and you will see the albums there waiting for you.

  • How can I get my iTunes synced between multiple computers?

    I always have the most current version of iTunes and I also subscribe to iTunes Match. Is there anyway to get my computers (both Mac) to have the same iTunes library without deleting all of one library and importing the other to it? As a professional musician, I have way too many songs to constantly do this, and I refuse to believe that Apple hasn't came up with a better solution such as syncing. If anyoe can help me out, it would greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    No.
    Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • How do I get iPhoto to sync on all my devices

  • How can i get my Dashboard sync between two macs?

    I have mabbok pro and imac how can i make this possible??????

    POP accounts can be set up to leave mail on the server. Thus this mail could be accessed from several different computers.
    I used Eudora a while ago, and set up 2 accounts, one left email on the server, and one did not. I would normally check mail from the one that left it on the server (accounts like this on several macs). When I was ready to download the mail, then I would check it from the other account that existed on only one of the macs.
    So in Mail, you could set up for POP and leave mail on the server. Then when ready to download (and not be able to see mail from various macs) you could switch to another user account, where Mail would be set up to not leave mail on the server.
    However, iMap makes this whole process easier.
    Normally, iMap mail can stay on the server forever. But I do like to get my mail and store it on my Mac after an arbitrary period of time. So I have set up a smart rule in Mail.
    It is GET MAIL:
    if Date received is less than 10 days old
    perform the following actions: stop evaluating rules
    So every day the mail is received, and of course it is less than 10 days old, so the rules stop evaluating.
    When I am ready to download the messages I select all in the mailbox, and use command-option-L to apply the rules. Any messages less than 10 days old stay on the server, Older messages then follow the other rules which are listted after GET MAIL. Usually these just filter mail into specific dumb mailboxes on my Mac. And/Or they could color the mail, or whatever else I choose to do with the mail.
