HT1535 can i sync an album created on my ipad back to my mac

I sync my iPad with my Mac. All the photos on my mac are therefore also on my iPad. From these photos I have not created an album on my iPad. Can I access this album on my mac?

The albums that you create on the iPad in the preinstalled Photos app are locally stored photos in the app itself. You cannot import those folders back onto the Mac. Those folders only contain pointers to the actual photos that are included in the albums and not copies of the photos themselves.

  • Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

    Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

    That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

  • I have deleted all my photos from my mac, how can I transfer them from my iphone4 or iPad back to my mac

    Can anyone help? I have by mistake deleted all of my photos on my Mac. I want to transfer the library from my iphone 4 or my ipad back to my Mac.

    There is no syncing process to move synced photos from an iOS device back to a computer.
    If you have only a small amount of photos you can email them to yourself.
    There are third party applications available online, some free and some at cost that will pull pictures off your device and back to the computer if your number of photos is great.
    In the past I have user PhoneView with great success.

  • Can't Sync Photos Album on iMac to iPad

    I have created a new album in Photos and tried to sync it from my iMac to my iPad using the iTunes approach used before with iPhoto. I click the Sync photos button. It shows the Photos icon and name but shows 0 photos there. I click selected albums and it shows none. I click "Automatically include photos from last three months". It transfers nothing. Any ideas on how to solve this?  ( iTunes 12.1.2 and I am not using the iCloud Library for my photos)

    iTunes is syncing with the main System Photos Library. Only one of your Photos libraries can be the System Photos Library.
    If iTunes is showing an empty library, your photos an albums may be in a different library than iTuns is syncing with.
    While viewing your Photos Library with the album you want to upload to your iPad, open the Photos Preferences.
    Make sure, the option "use as System Photos Library" is dimmed in the General Preferences. That means, that this library has already been enabled as the System Photos Library.  If this option is  not dimmed, click it.

  • I can't sync some albums/songs from iTunes 12.1 on my Mac to my iPad running iOS 8.2

    In brief, when I drag content from iTunes to my iPad icon it will not transfer. It doesn't happen to all albums and songs but quite a few. I also have an iPod touch 5th gen iOS 8.2 and the same albums seem to move across ok? Most pf the time it say's "preparing to update" and then just does nothing?

  • HT1535 Can't sync music to ipad 2

    Ok so I have an iPad 2. I am having trouble syncing content, especially music, to it. Sometimes when I connect my iPad to my pc, it tries to sync my entire iTunes library of about 1000 songs to my iPad, which is troublesome because then I have to go and delete all of those songs. Basically all I want to do is transfer a few albums from my iTunes library to my iPad, but it's not letting me. When I try to drag and drop the albums to my iPad on the left column of iTunes, nothing happens. It doesn't say syncing (insert album name) to my iPad. I tried unchecking all the songs in my library so that they wouldnt all auto sync, ad instead only checking off the songs that I wanted to sync to my iPad, same result. Music won't coy to my iPad. I'm currently running iOS 5.1. I recently updated my dads iPod touch (4th gen) to iOS 5.1 and also was able to transfer this music to his iPod using the EXACT SAME PC, but for some reason it won't work for my iPad. Don't know if it matters or not, but might be worth noting that these devices are NOT jailbroken nor have ever been, or are running any third party operating systems. Like I said, just iOS 5.1. Does anyone know why this is happenning? I would really appreciate a solution to this. Thanks!

    Open itunes - connect device by usb, when device summary page opens (clicking device icon at left to do this)
    In <options> at bottom of page tick box - Manually manage music and videos
    A tick in the box to limit higher bit rate songs to 128kbps does not do any harm either and will save you some space.
    192 and 256 kbps are true high fidelity sampling rates and you would want real high quality speakers to appreciate the kind of detail these high rates can handle.
    Open the device Music tab at top of page, tick the Sync Music box and select Selected playlists,artists,albums and genres. not the Entire music library option.
    To avoid duplication when restoring from different backup sources only select one format in the lower pane list views. I prefer to use the Albums list, though creating your own playlists is probably better for tailoring large libraries with hundreds or perhaps thousands of songs.
    Note that the Library Music tab from list at left displays all music currently synced to your iPad, NOT what is available in your library or Media Folder.  Use the iPad icon (highlight by clicking) then in the main page use the Music tab (between Apps and Films) to select what to sync.
    If you have music in more than one type of list and you have the option to keep your media folder organised - Edit\Preferences\Advanced tab - Keep media folder organised; it can lead to duplication across different list.  I prefer to keep this bos unticked when manually managing files.

  • Sync Photo Albums Created on iOS to Other Devices

    Is it possible to sync photo albums created on iOS to the Mac or other devices? I know you can sync albums created in iPhoto on the Mac to iOS through iTunes, but I have created albums on iOS and would like to sync them to my Mac and other devices.

    No. But you can share photo streams to Macs and Windows boxes.

  • How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

    I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
    I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
    I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
    How can this be done?
    For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
    So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
    Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
    Thanks.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
    On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
    Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
    To restart an iOS device:  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

    I'm also having this problem.
    In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently. 
    1.  iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac. 
    2.  The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
    I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
    My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
    Can anyone help?

  • Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

    Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
    If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
    Please help me! Who has any idea?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • ITunes is telling me it can't sync data from my iPhone or iPad at the moment. Any ideas why, please?

    IiTunes is telling me it can't sync data from my iPhone or iPad at the moment. Any ideas why, please?

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.
