How to sync photos in photos library to iphone?

Before the recent update, I used to be able to choose to sync my photos in iPhotos library to my phone. (I would always carry photos taken in the past 6months on my phone.) But now I can't choose iPhotos Library/Photos Library to sync. I never keep so many photos in my camera role because I like to download them onto my mac and delete them from my phone. So I used to sync iPhoto events to my phone. Do I need to subscribe to iCloud photo sharing now...? I'm really confused.

I had the same issue.  My photo library is on an external hard drive. Here's how I fixed it:*
     1.  Quit iTunes.
     2.  Open Photos.  Got to Preferences and make sure you click the 'Use as system photo library' button.
     3.  Quit Photos.
     4.  Open iTunes - you should now be able to select 'Photos' as your source.
Hope this works for you!
* I sync the last years worth of photos but it seems a little buggy to me - lots of erroneous images and wrong date ordering.  I guess they'll fix that eventually!

  • How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my new computer?

    How do I transfer my iPhoto library from iPhone to my computer?
    My photos that I lost from my computer at the weekend are still on my iphone but I don't want to lose them and would like them back on my computer.
    Help very welcome.

    The photo sync is one way only - computer to iphone.
    Copy them from your backup copy of your computer.
    When pics are synced to iphone they are reduced in size/quality.  You can e-mail them to yourself, but they will never be of the original quality.

  • How to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

    how to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

    I think that might not work.  If you backup your wife's new phone and then try and restore the 3G from that backup I think that you will get an error message because the 3G needs to have the same iOS or higher than the 4 and the 3G can only have iOS 4.2.1  On another note it is not good to use the same ID for imessage on two phones ( if that uis what you plan on also doing) as you will get each others messages

  • How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

    This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
    1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
    2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
    I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
    Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
    Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • How to sync the iTunes songs library with other two computers thru iPhone?

    I have three Apple computers, the main being iMac 24", on which I usually purchase music from iTunes and import from my CDs. Thus, it has the biggest collection of songs, roughly about 1200. I also sync my iPhone 3GS 32 GB with this comp, and songs fill in slightly more than 6 GB on iPhone. But then when I sync my iPhone with the MacBook Air or my old PowerBook G4, about 2 GB of songs disappear, reducing the songs library to what is on the computers, while I'd like to transfer all songs (newly purchased and imported) from the iPhone to those comps, too, which are BTW, respectively authorized.
    Seems to be a simple issue, and I read all Help content, and tried all iTunes Menu functions, but can't solve it! Any help from real Apple experts?

    here are some reads that may be helpful:

  • Cannot sync entire iTunes music library to iPhone 6?

    Just returned from one on one training at the Apple Store, and the helper could not figure out a solution to my problem. I have 2432 songs in my iTunes  library, but only 1782 of them will sync onto the phone.  iTunes Match is turned off.  The phone is 64GB so there is plenty of storage space. (38.2 GB available)  We are syncing through a USB connection.  We tried deleting all the music followed by a fresh sync.  700+ songs won't transfer .. I haven't yet determined which ones.  The helper said the genius will probably suggest reinstalling the OS.  Anybody else have this problem? Phone is running IOS 8.0.2  MBA is running 10.9.5. iTunes is 11.4

    Here's how I synced iPo=hone 6 (updated to OSX 8.3) with iTunes (Version 1.1.2.27)
    1.     Turned on iTunes match on the computer (iMac) where my music library was located.
    2.     Turned on iTunes match on iPhone 6 (Settings>Music>iTunes Match).
    3.     Hard boot iPhone.
    4.     Restarted iPhone.
    5.     Disconnected iPhone to computer.
    6.     Closed iTunes on computer.
    7.     Restarted computer.
    8.     Connected iPhone to computer then restarted iPhone.
    9.     Restarted iTunes.
    10.   Clicked on iPhone icon in iTunes.
    11.   In iPhone SUMMARY menu, selected BACKUP option button THIS COMPUTER.
    12.   Selected BACK UP NOW.
    13.   Following backup, in OPTIONS section, checked box SYNC ONLY CHECKED SONGS AND VIDEOS.
    14.   Clicked APPLY.
    15.   Clicked SYNC.
    The key is making sure you turn on ITUNES MATCH, then matching up your music library.
    Good luck.

  • How do i disconnent old itunes library from iphone?

    I had my iphone connected first through my old windows computer, but have since gotten an macair book and want to put some music on my iphone through the mac.  But then I get the message that phone was already connected with other comp and if I want to delete this phone and use itunes on mac.
    Since I sync through the cloud, I don't want to delete my phone, I just want itunes to forget the old comp.
    How do I get this working?
    thanks for the help!

    You sync to the new computer.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to anohter will indeed erase the current selected itunes content and replace with the content from the new computer.  This has nothing to do with icloud content.

  • HT2729 how to sync my laptop music to my iphone

    How do i sync my music from laptop to iphone 5?
    its in the music folder under iphone but where is the sync button?
    Thanks guys

    I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
    "Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    "Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
    I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

  • How to sync ToDo's and Notes with iPhone 4 without iCloud?

  • How to Sync music & put the music from iPhone onto computer?

    I am trying to get the songs off my iPhone and onto my iMac. But when I try and Sync it it says that if I continue, it will erase ALL my songs from the phone and replace it with the songs on my computer (which is just a few.) So how do I get all the songs off my phone and onto my computer without losing any of them in the process???

    Is this the computer you normally sync with? By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. To put your purchased content on your computer, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, under preferences in itunes. Connect your phone, do not sync. Go up to Store>Authorize this computer to make sure your computer is authorized. Next, File>Transfer Purchases. All of your purchased content(music/apps) will be transferred. From there, select your content & sync.

  • How To Sync Backed Up Photos To New iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how to get my backed up photo album from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5? I have backed up a lot of photos from my old iPhone and want to transfer them all to my new one, but when I sync, it only syncs my music and apps?
    It won't sync my contacts and notes etc as wellm but have retrieved this through iCloud which isn't a problem, but I cannot get my old messages and photos to go through? I know you can just manually sync photos from folders but I would rather have them in my camera roll as it makes it easier rather than seperate folders, and want to make sure my geo tags are there as I have been to a lot of places around the world!
    I have tried backing up my iPhone 4 over and over, and even got to a point where it said importing photos which was a good sign, but when I restore my iPhone 5 and try it it still won't pick up the photos or contacts etc? I have made sure I have selected my most recent backup so that shouldn't be the problem, but just wondered if I haven't put a setting on or something?
    My friend who also upgraded from a 4 to a 5 literally syced up and was away?
    Thanks for your help,
    Leslie

    What are you actually trying to do? If you wish to sync them to the iPod, that means have them on the iPod and in iTunes, but you specifically say you don't want them on the PC. However, like music on the iPod, to have it there it needs to be in the library (especially if you want to auto-sync), which is what you say you have to do.
    You mention the library and transferring the podcasts automatically, which suggests that you are trying to put them onto the iPod to listen to, but then you mention enabling disk use, which surely means storing them on the iPod as data files which you cannot listen to. So do you want to put them onto the iPod to listen to, or just to store them?
    How are you getting these podcasts anyway? The easiest way is to subscribe to them and let iTunes do all the work of finding and downloading them into the podcast part of iTunes and automatically syncing them into the Podcast section of the iPod. There are options in iTunes for keeping none, some, or all podcasts on the iPod, even once you have listened to them.
    Provide us with a bit more information and maybe we can sort out the best solution for you.

  • How to sync phone and photos to recover 2k lost pictures

    i dont know exactly if i deleted all of my pictures or if they vanished with my last update... hard to say but i had about 2400 pictures...
    they are however on my iphone and im curious to see if i sync my phone and computer if it will import them all back in??
    i haven't tried it because i dont want to take a risk and losing them with out finding out first!

    When I connect my iPod Touch to my MacBook, and I have any pictures on the iPod that aren't on my MB, iPhoto opens and allows me to import them. They are in a file called Saved Photos on my iPod. Other than that, syncing takes place through iTunes so if you plug in your iPhone, goto the Photos tab in the iTunes syncing window and have your collection sync with your MacBook.
    I don't imagine that an update can make your photos vanish but needless to say, if you don't have a backup of your photos (Time Machine, CCC, SuperDuper, other backup tool...) you always run the risk of losing then off of your HD at any time.
    Do you use iPhoto? Did you look for the folder +iPhoto Library+ on your MacBook?

  • How to Sync Modified iPhoto Photos to New iPad?

    Hi, the question is really in the title. I have just returned from holiday and have edited 300+ photos in iPhoto. These have been synced to my iPad which is only showing the originals, not the modified versions. After searching these forums I found a solution for the iPhone - deleting the iPod cache file in iPhoto package contents - but this did not help on the iPad.
    I have batch changed the names of the photos and re-synced but this has not helped. I suspect I could export them all and then re-import but iPhoto loses tagged faces doing that and having spent hours assigning faces I'm not keen on going through that again.
    Has anyone cracked this particular issue, or could someone with an iPad try modifying a photo and seeing if it syncs okay - would be good to know if this is a local issue to me or a generic problem.
    Thanks.
    David.

    Hi, René,
    that is not as it should be, so pardon my very basic questions - just to be sure:
    How do you sync from iTunes? Have you set the "Sync Photos from" pop-up menu in the "Devices" tab in iTunes  to "Aperture" and not to your "Pictures" folder?
    To sync the edited versions, you have to sync with Aperture and not with the masters folder on the Disk. Set Aperture to share Previews with the iLife Applications (in the Aperture Preferences > Previews tab) and to automatically create the Previews. Set the preview quality and size to your main display dimensions.
    If you already have that, please post back and explain more how you are syncing with your iPhone.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • How to sync audio with photos

    I have 100s of photos in a slide show and need to sync them with the music.  Looking online, all I saw for fcpx is to lay down a Generator and manually cut it to the beat of the selected music.  Then Replace the photos into the segments.  This is toooo hard.  There has to be a better way or a plugin.
    tks, gib

    You can do this in Aperture. It has an automatic align slides to beats command and you can also do it manually as the slideshow plays. Just click the stopwatch icon and as the slideshow plays hit the spacebar when you want the slide to change.
    I don't know a way to do it this easy in FCP X.
