How to keep my album structure when syncing photos to pc

Hello.
I'am searching the way to sync my photos from iphone to pc but keep the album structure I did create on iphone.
Actually, the structure is lost when the photos are transfer to pc.
Thanks.

Hi.
I had the same issue. I am not 100% sure, but please try this:
Keep your folders as they are. Use Aperture. Import all folders into Aperture.
Remember to select the option to copy all photos - is's possible to tell Aperture to just point at the original file so that no copying or moves are made.
In iTunes select "Aperture" in the "Photo" tab.
That should do the job - but I am not 100% sure.
Funnily the absolutely best way og viewing your photos is using an Xbox360 - but that requires your Mac/pc to be turned on all the time, because it only supports streaming. On the other hand the Xbox is MUCH quicker than Apple TV.
Please let me know if Aperture does the job for you...
Oh yes: iPhoto is a messy option: It insists to copy all photos into one extremely large file... Make me kind of unsure because I really can't control anything.
Looking forward to other suggestions...

How to keep Keywords from Bridge when importing photos

I am moving images from Bridge on my old computer to LR on my new computer. The photo comes in fine but the IPTC Core fields are not there.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I’ve never done it but I think the only way to do it is to use the export command to send files to the desktop or an external hard drive before moving to your new computer. Try selecting a test batch of images in Bridge and using:
File >> Export
After selecting the destination, click on the Image Options tab and choose all metadata.

How to keep two HD's in sync?

How to keep two HD's in sync? They both contain my Sample Libraries, one is in my desktop the other in my laptop…essentially they contain the same items, but, the thing is: when I'm working on one I begin to delete, modify and add to the pool, and so the two become out of sync.
It's hard to know what exactly I've changed where. (So, what I usually do is take out things that I edit and re-save them separately, just in case, but this creates vast quantities of unnecessary duplicates).
So, what I'd like, would be if I could just keep both of the in sync somehow?
Here's what I'm thinking:
What if I was to use Carbon Copy Cloner, and just clone one onto the other, back and forth regularly? (Using incremental backup BTW) Would that be a good idea? I'd be worried that things might get corrupted by being overwritten/modified so regularly? Or would that be OK? I mean what if I had changed a small portion of a sample on one HD and then CCC'd onto the other, is it going to detect such a change? And will it always safely copy it across?
Thank you so much for any help.

If you are very strict about changing just one drive at a time, you can use CCC or ChronoSync and I think it will be fine.
BUT...if you are talking about making changes to both drives and trying to reconcile them, then you need ChronoSync or something similar. Because they allow you to preview exactly which files will be changed, in which direction, before you commit. I use a different utility (FoldersSynchronizer) for this purpose; it looks like ChronoSync achieves this through their Analyze window. At time I have stopped potential unintentional data loss by always previewing the changes.

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio. DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive 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.)

Error when syncing photos...

Error when syncing photos. When I synchronize my IPad 1 (IOS 4.5.3) with Macbook (OS X 10.5.8) as I always do, an error saying that some pictures could not be synchronized because de IPad can not open those pictures!. Always copied from one device to another without problems! I use the latest version of ITunes. Thanks

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

ICloud keeps crashing my iPads when using photo stream

iCloud keeps crashing my iPad when using photo stream, photo stream has downloaded over 600 .png files to my photo stream which are mac icons - these are causing all 3 iPads on iCloud to crash and report .panic.plist error messages. Help? I have turned off iCloud for now which allows the iPad to work.these icons were on my iMac too on iphoto which I have deleted and on our iPhones again which I have deleted. Would like to use iCloud but not until I can fix this issue.

Hi elizabethfromfernhurst,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are getting the .panic.plist alerts on your iPad when using iCloud, I would suggest restoring the iPad back to its factory settings and using iCloud to sync your data back to the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Error message when syncing photos from laptop

When trying to copie photos from laptop to ipad I get the following message :-Photoshoot was not copied to the ipod "sids ipod" because it could not be found

Although it's for iPhone and Touch, the following document is also worth a try on an iPad. (I'd check your photo cache first.)

Can I export multiple folders at the same time, keeping the album structure

I'm exporting all of my photos from 2010 so far. Is there a way to export multiple folders at the same time, while keeping the existing album structure? It seems that when I try it, iPhoto exports them all to the same folder.
I really don't want to do this one album at a time, and here's why -
I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.

Check out [iPhotoToDisk|http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html]
I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.
Why not upload to Walmart from iPhoto? Check out the first option here:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How to retain chat/iMessage history when syncing with new computer?

For years, I have synced each new iPhone that I’ve purchased with an older MacPro.
Recently, I bought a new iMac to replace the MacPro.
I chose not to use Migration Assistant and have not transferred any of the data from the older MacPro to the newer iMac, primarily because I wanted to completely ignore all the AAC and mp3/mp4 (lossy) music files from the old computer and replace that music on the new iMac with Apple Lossless Encoded files ripped from my CD collection.
Meanwhile, I bought the new iPhone 6. I have never synced this new phone with the new iMac. Instead, I set it up using a backup of my iPhone 5S that was on the older MacPro (or possibly in iCoud—can’t remember). I did this because I want to preserve older texts/iMessages on my iPhone. It’s my impression that that data ‘lives’ in the backups of our phones, so syncing it with a brand new computer would erase it, right?
The problem is, I don't want to use the music files/playlists on the older MacPro. I want to load my iPhone 6 with the newer music files and playlists found in the iTunes folder on my new iMac while still retaining the text/iMessage history from previous backups. Is this possible? If so, how do I make this happen?
I do not use iTunes Match and want nothing to do with it, so that is not an acceptable solution for me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Message was edited by: peterparkerLA Just added a preposition that was left out of first draft.

When syncing with a new computer, technically, all information on your iPhone 6 will be erased. If you really want to keep the chat history/imessage, call history or even contacts, I suggest you backup your iPhone 6 to iCloud before the sync. After sync your iPhone 6 with your new computer, you can try Dr.Fone for iOS to extract chat history/iMessages, even contacts and notes from the iCloud backup file and save them to your iPhone 6 again.

There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
Excerpts from sun docs:
However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
Details are here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
Will update if i find more information

How to keep Ipod in iTunes when undocked

I want to be able to see and manage my ipod music while it is undocked. I did this before, but for the life of me, can't figure out how to keep the iPod showing in iTunes when it's undocked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Randy

If it's not connected to the computer, you can't do anything with the iPod.
You can Enable disk use in iTunes prefs -> iPod and it will not dismount.
I want to be able to see and manage my ipod music while it is undocked.
That is what iTunes is for.
Make the changes in iTunes and then update the iPod.
Any changes you make on the iPod will not be reflected in iTunes.
When you have to Restore the iPod (you will), all changes will be lost.

How to keep original email open when replying?

I bet this is somthing simple, but I just can't figure it out. When I click reply on an email, the original closes. It's no big deal, but I like to have the original open to refer back to. Is there a way to set my mail to keep the original open when replying. Thanks in advance
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) Got my new MacBook. It's a wonderful thing!!! Video iPod!! Lots of toys!!!

You're welcome.
I am not getting the other option about keeping
the preview pane visible.
It seems you're not aware that the part of the main window where messages are listed can be split in two parts: the messages list at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. You can do this by either (1) dragging upwards the thin horizontal separator bar that's at the bottom of the window, or (2) just double-clicking on that bar (it has a tiny hole in the middle).
How come when I delete an email in my .mac account,
I have to delete it twice from the trash?
Well, the answer to that question is way more involved than you might think.
The behavior you've observed happens in Mail to any IMAP-type account for which deleted messages are stored locally (i.e. Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server has been turned OFF). The "reason" is that storing deleted messages locally for IMAP-type accounts causes Mail to move deleted messages in that account to a Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox folder located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
Deleting a message already in a Trash mailbox should cause the message to be permanently erased, BUT deleting a message from a mailbox located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ (i.e. an "On My Mac" mailbox) should cause the message to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash. Thus, in the particular case of a Deleted Messages (a Trash) mailbox stored within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, there are two conflicting behaviors, and it seems that Mail takes the latter into consideration first, i.e. deleting a message from the account's Trash under those conditions causes it to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash instead of being permanently erased as would happen if the Deleted Messages folder was located within the account folder.
This could very well be an oversight (a bug) rather than intended behavior, but that's how it works in the current version of Mail. If you're curious, the following somewhat amusing (but also lengthy and confusing) threads would give you an idea of how long it took me to figure out this one:
emails won't delete on first try
IMAP messages need trash deleted twice
