How to sync iPhone albums

How do I sync albums made on iPhone 4 with iPhoto on my MacBook? Photo stream syncs fine.

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

I'm attempting to sync several albums from itunes to iphoto. When select to sync all albums it copies over the previous recorded album. I tried to sync the Albums individually and the same thing happens. Any ideas on how to sync my albums?

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

SYNC iPhone albums with iPhoto

Can anyone provide some info on how to sync albums created on my iPhone with my desktop iPhoto?
It doesn't seem like this is a feature - which would be really stupid considering all the work Apple
does for cross device syncronization. Am I really to believe that I have to organize and create albums TWICE?
Thanks.

Yes you do
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

How to Sync iphone 5 contacts/calendar with Outlook 2007

I used to have an iphone 3gs and upgraded to a 5 recently. Since then I can't sync outlook contacts/calendar like I used to.
All I want to do is sync outlook with the iphone so that I have the same data on my Windows7 PC as on the iPhone. I used to just hit sync in itunes and presto it would sync both ways. i.e new phone entries would be copied to outlook and new outlook enteries copied to the iphone.
Now in itunes "info". I only see an option that sync's to the cloud only. I don't want to sync to the cloud because the old way was better for me.
Besides the cloud doesn't seem to work. The phone information gets uploaded to the cloud but the outlook information doesn't get updated? When I open up the cloud in Win7 using icloud I can see all the contacts on my phone but how do I get them to sync with Outlook and vice versa?
I've read so much information on the subject I'm blue in the face but have not found a solution.
Your help would be appreciated, Thank You.

If you have [accidentally] enabled iCloud sync on your iPhone, note that you first need to turn that off in order to be able to sync again via iTunes instead. iCloud sync and iTunes sync when it comes to contacts and calendars, are cannot be run simultaneously. Settings > iCloud > toggle the switches to OFF
You can alternatively read this for another offline method of syncing iphone contacts to outlook without needing to switch off your iCloud sync in first place.

TS1347 How to Sync iPhone 4S iOS7.1 Calendar to Win 8.1 Outlook2013 via iTunes - help?

BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
Having just spent crazy money on a new Windows 8.1 laptop and Office 365 software, I learn only now from Microsoft that over the air sync of Outlook Calendar to iPhone Calendar is not supported. I was forced to get Win8.1 as Win XP was no longer supported and I have to have a Windows PC for work reasons. Previously, on my WinXP laptop I was successfully 2-way syncing Outlook 2007 via Google Calendar Sync to my iPhone Calendar. It worked like a dream (I was forced to use Google because the previous MobileME over the air calendar sync destroyed all my calendars - wiped them clean - a business disaster for me - so I will avoid Apples iCloud sync on calendars now for the same reason).
I read all over the www that you cannot sync Outlook 2013 (windows) via Google Calendar because Google has withdrawn their free Google Calendar Sync service for new PC's. I read people trying workarounds but most seems to fail and create other issues, which I do not want.I need a clean reliable solution - just a 2-way sync between my i{Phone Calendar and my Win8.1 Outlook 2013 calendar. I am realsing that the war between Apple, MS and Google has left me disadvantaged as a customer fo all three and I am frankly angry at all three of them, but that's not what I am here to get help on.
I am an iTunes user but not on WIndows - I have a separate MacBook Pro which I sync the iPhone with only for music/videos. I do not want to use the MacBook Pro for business or calendars.
QUESTIONS
Is the only reliable solution for me to use Itunes on my PC and sync iPhone calendar to Win8.1 Outlook calendar via USB cable?
If it is the only solution - how do I set up a new installation of iTunes on my new Win8.1 laptop so I can ONLY sync the calendar with the iPhone when connected by cable and NOT all my music/vidos ( I want them to remain on the MacBook Pro, and in any case - my new Win8.1 laptop has only a small SSD which I need for work document storage)?
Many thanks in advance for help with my problem.

Thanks. Good to see the standard Apple support pages. I will refer to them if I can confirm the answer to my question about compatbility of Outlook 2013 in this Sync process, i.e. whether or not Outlook 2013 (Win 8.1) is supported on USB or wifi sync via itunes.They list Outlook 2010 but the absence of a listing for 2013 suggest it is not supported. Does anyone out there know if Outlook 2013 (PC) works in calendar sync with iTunes?
Also. I seem to remember that the first time you cable an iPhone to a new installation of iTunes on a new PC.... that it goes into automatic syncing of your iTunes Account (previously held and used on other computers) - and I most definately do not want this to happen. I need full control of manually determining what I manually sync on first hook-up. How can I get thois control please??

How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
cheers.
Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

How to sync iPhone to new computer after old computer crashes?!

I get the process to sync an iphone with a new computer when you can copy the files from your old computer, but what about when the old computer is no longer working? I have my music & photos backed up, so I'm more concerned about contacts and apps. Any ideas how to get at least my contacts off my phone before syncing with the new computer? Thanks!

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!
-Royce

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

How to sync iPhone contacts back to Address Book.

I came across this problem and found a work-around on the forums, but some guys there–including myself–felt that iTunes should sync our contacts bi-directionally from iPhone to Address Book on our Macs, and vice versa.
As it turns out, that's really the default behavior in iTunes when syncing between iPhone/Address Book on the Mac. However, if you've been using iCloud to sync everything lateley, this will not be the default behavior, because your iTunes won't sync anything back to your Address Book on the Mac unless you completly disconnect from iCloud services.
So..... if you want to sync your contacts from your iPhone back to your Address Book on your Mac, I'm providing this simple, yet tedious, solution:
Step 1: Open Address Book on your Mac, select all of your contacts, and press delete. You'll be asked if you really want to delete the contacts. Hit ok and continue.
Step 2: Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Users/(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Note* On OS X Lion, your Library folder will not be shown. You'll have to navigate there a different way. The way I did it was:
Click the "Go" option up in the Finder menu bar.
Toward the bottom of the pull-down menu, click on the "Go to Folder..." option.
Type "~(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Once there, I searched through all the folders included and deleted anything that ended in ".plist" or ".log". This way, Address Book is completely reset when next open it.
Step 3: Open Address Book, add at least one contact if none are automatically created for you, and make sure iCloud is Disabled (if an account is there) in your Address Book Preferences pane, which you find by clicking "Address Book" in the top menu bar. Then, quit Address Book.
Step 4: On your iPhone, open your Settings app, go to the iCloud option, and turn all services off. After turning each one off, it will ask you if you want to keep the data on you phone. Always select "Yes", otherwise you may lose your data.
Step 5: Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the left column, select the "Info" tab, and check the box to "Sync Contacts"–further down on the page, in the Advanced section, make sure the Contacts checkbox is unchecked. If it's checked when you sync, iTunes will overwrite the contacts on your phone with the contacts from Address Book on your Mac.
Step 6: Sync your iPhone–This will sync the contacts from your phone to the Address Book app on your Mac.
Step 7: Open up Address Book, and add an iCloud account, or re-enable the one you disabled in step 3–This will sync all of those contacts to your iCloud account again. Then, you can also go back to the iCloud settings on your phone and turn all the services back on.
After all this, you should have been able to first sync your contacts from you iPhone back to your Address Book app on your Mac, then have them both synced up through iCloud with the same contacts being pushed everywhere.
Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for all this, unfortunately it's still not helping me. Last week I turned on iCloud for contacts and not only did the iCloud sync fail, but now with iCloud off I haven't been able to sync iphone-to-mac thru iTunes.
I've checked that iCloud contact sync'ing is off, on both my Mac and iPhone. I've even turned off all other iCloud services on both devices. I followed your instructions precisely and even deleted more than you suggested from the App Support | Address Book folder. Step 6 just doesn't work. iTunes whips thru the Address Book sync progress when it should pause a bit to do the transfer—my Address Book archive is 44 Mb.
I have no desire to waste more time with iCloud, just want it to work the old fashioned way. I'd gladly do a clean system re-install but not sure even that would do it…hard to tell where the problem lies.
Appreciate any light you could shed!

How to sync an Album from Photoshop Elements 9 to an IPad?

I have editd lots of pictures in Photoshop Elements 9 and put them into an album in a particular order. Is there a way to sync the album from Photoshop to an IPad without losing the sequence in which I have arranged the photos? So far they come up in some sort of date order which is not what I want. Transferring the pictures into iPhoto and then rearranging them would be too much of a task as there are hundreds of them.
Anybody out there with a bright idea?
Thanks
Zig

If you are referring to a music album that you've purchased from iTunes then you can only transfer all purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, you can't just copy a single album
