HT4236 Synching photos, can't choose "selected folders"

I'm trying to import photos from PC to iPhone, but it won't let me select "selected folders" It's greyed out and I can't click on it. It will only let me select one folder above and if I try to do another after that, it deletes the first batch.

Unable to choose 'selected folders' in iTunes

help guys! im using Windows XP and my problem is can't choose 'selected folders' in Photos section of my iTunes. what should i do?

I'm running itunes 9.2 with iOS4 on my 3Gs..
After I upgrade to 9.2, I found that under "info" tab, all my selected group disappear both on my contacts & calendars. then i tried several fix and now problem solved.. hope following tips can help.
1) make sure your outlook, tools/Trust Center/add-ins : both 1) itunes outlook addin and 2) Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service is *active & loaded*
2) On ur itunes/iphone section : hen u switch between tabs ( info/photos/music/app....) each time if u back to info section, an apple program call " mingler.exe " will be executed and check on the outlook contact & calendar section to refresh the groups, the reasons that groups doesn't show up mainly because this program didn't run. So what I did is uninstall itunes, then goto C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple and delete the whole Mobile Device Support folder, then restart ur PC. Now reinstall itunes, and the Mobile Device Support will be installed back, U may rename the old folder as backup as well. After itunes installed, plug in ur iphone, and switch to info tab, groups may not show ye, so u have to switch to other tab and back to info again, coz each switch will trigger itunes to run the Mingler.exe and to refresh the contact & calendar groups.
U can also open task manager to see whether mingler.exe is running, in my case, i need to wait few minutes until mingler.exe start to run, and it takes another few minutes to wait for the groups to show under itunes. Once the mingler.exe is running, u can be sure the groups will show up on ur itunes.
Hope my little experience can help

Cannot choose selected folders in photos

I cannot choose selected folders in photos. I just downloaded version 4.3.4 and I am still unable to do this. I had no problem with this until the last two updates. Any ideas?

Perhaps a bit more detail on what your problem is would help. Are you using a Mac or PC? What photo software on your computer? Are you talking about albums when you mention folders. Is iTunes involved here when you speak of folders?
Note iOS 4.3.4 only contains a fix for a PDF problem.

HT4236 when i try deleting pictures on my ipod touch i can not choose "selected albums" i can only choose all my albums

when i try deleting pictures on my ipod touch i can not choose "selected albums" i can only choose all my albums

Yes, that's the way it works with pictures synced from a comptuer to an iOS device.
If you want to remove specific picstures/albums, do so via iTunes on the computer.

HT4236 synching photos to my iPad3GS , will the original ones be lost?

I am unsure if I synch photos to my iPad3GS, which already has photos stored on it, will the original ones be lost from the iPad? ie how does one just add more?

Synced photos are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync, so you will need to include all the photos from your computer that you want on the iPad on each sync.
So it will depend upon how those photos got onto the iPad originally - if they were synced from a computer then you will need to include them in the next photo sync to keep them on the iPad. Photos that were taken with the iPad or copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites won't be affected.

Time Machine - can it backup selected folders and/or files?

Hello All,
I have searched for an answer to this question, but found no answer.
Can I select certain files or folders in TimeMachine to backup, instead of having to backup a whole disk (only).
I am sure I am not the only person with this question, but I could not find a post on this topic.
Thanks for any information,
eholz1

Time Machine is designed as a simple backup system to handle an entire system, and provides only limited flexibility. You can exclude things from Time Machine backups, but there's no way to start with nothing being selected and add just specific folders. If backing up only certain folders and files what you really wish to do, I'd suggest you look into a different backup solution, of which there are many.
Regards.

HT4236 Synching photo on ipad: issue with portrait format

How do you manage to have portrait photo on your computer, remain portrait photo on you ipad?
Recently my portrait photos appear as landscape on my ipad.
I have tried saving them on a different name, still does not work
Any solution?

I got the file so I was able to check what I was thinking about.
It's really puzzling because there is no official way to do that : columns 13 thru 52 were available but were zero width ones.
Even with a script we can't set a coliumn width smaller than 8.
I don't know the story of the document.
Maybe it was imported from an application allowing zero width columns (AppleWorks for instance).
I know a way to achieve this setting : define the width to zero in the index.xml file.

How do I sync to more than one photograph folder on my pc. The selected folders button is greyed out.

I am trying to add some pictures from my son's wedding to both ipads. I cannot put different folders on as the ipads are only allowing one folder. Very frustrating, help appreciated.

Where are the folders on your computer that you are trying to sync ? If they are directly underneath the folder that you have selected at the top of the Photos tab then the 'selected folders' option should not be greyed out - is that where the photos that you are trying to sync located on your computer ?

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

HT4236 Trouble syncing photos as "selected folders"

Can anyone please help? I'm having trouble uploading photos from my computer to my I-phone device.
The problem I'm having is I'm trying to sync photos to my i phone device and "select specific folders" and although this is never been a problem in the past prior to downloading I-tunes 11, it's not allowing me to sync selected photos (only allowing me to select all folders) as the appropraite selection to "sync selected folders" is blocked out and will not allow me to manually switch to it.
I've tried changing settings etc and seeing if there's anything that can allow me to do this, but have had no luck.
Can Anyone help please?????

That's not really an answer, that's just a work around. Does anyone have an answer for this?
Put all the folders (or a shortcut to those folders) with photos into one folder and select that top level folder.
Then you can tick Selected folders and pick the subfolders.
The photos do not all need to be in one single folder.
Each folder will be a separate album in the Photos app.

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
