I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

  • Why cannot iTunes sync movies from iPhoto taken with iPhone

    I take little movies with iPhone. (5Mb)
    iPhoto copies then to the Mac with the Photos.
    Movie plays in iPhoto.
    In iTunes I say Sync event and tick include videos on. The movies are not copied back to the iPhone.
    Checked in iPhoto, event says 18 items (17 are photos one is the movie MOV04391.MPG)
    In iTunes > Photos tab. the event only shows 17 items.
    Thanks in anticipation...

    Try launching iPhoto while holding Option, to create an alternate iPhoto library that you can test with. You can always switch back to the original iPhoto library launching iPhoto while holding Option again.
    If it works in the new test library, you'll probably want to switch back to the main library and then rebuild it by holding down the Command and Option keys when launching iPhoto.
    Also, when you email photos from the iPhone you should see an option to email as actual size, along with the compressed options.
    WTH.

  • Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

    I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

    I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
    All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

  • Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPad w/ new version of iTunes.

    In the last version of iTunes you were able to select the albums that you wanted to sync from iPhoto and now I can't find it in the new version. Please help!

    Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library Beta on your iPad in the Settings > iCloud > Photos ?  Then syncing Photos using iTunes Photo Sync will be disabled. If you want to sync your iPhoto Library using iTunes disable  iCloud Photo Library Beta on the iPad,  see:   iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Otherwise syncing photos from iPhoto and selecting albums in iPhoto will work as before.

  • Initial sync of Photos from iPhone to iCloud Photo Library freezes

    I had about 13,000 photos on a MacBook Pro (10.10.3) in iPhoto. Imported all to Photo, turned on Photo Library and they all transferred and synched to iCloud. Turned on iCloud Photo Library on two iPads (iOS 8.3) and one iPhone 6 and they synched just fine; all four devices now show the same set of photos and changes to any photo on any device are almost immediately reflected on all other devices. Very cool!. But my wife's iPhone 6 got about 15% of her photos synched to the cloud and then the upload/download process just stopped—that was about a week or so ago. I read Walt Mossberg's description of a similar problem he had (a "rare bug") when turning on iCloud Photo Library that required a special fix from Apple. Something to do with a photo having multiple copies on iCloud that caused the sync process to freeze. But I can't find any fixes for the problem except taking all photos off the phone and then synching, and then reloading the photos, but that sounds a bit scary.
    Can anyone help? It's frustrating to have had the process work so well on four devices, only to have a fifth freeze. All are updated and all have similar settings.

  • Does iPhoto 9.6 work with iCloud Photo Library at all?

    I have iOs 8.1, but I have not enabled iCloud Drive or iCloud Photo Library yet, and I have not updated to Yosemite yet. I don't want to activate those until I know how photos between thee mac and iPhone will work after they are enabled.
    Does iPhoto 9.6 interact at all with iCloud Photo Library? Does it even "see" iCPL photos similar to PhotoStream? Can it import from there? Do any of the crops and edits come through in iPhoto from the iOS photos app (whether imported from the iCPL or even via direct d/l from the phone via usb?

    So what are you guys doing to manage your photos until the OSX Photos app come out? Just not using iCloud Photo Library at all I assume?
    Can you use iCloud photo library but still manually import photos into iPhoto from USB import?
    You can view your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and download from iCloud Photo Library (Beta) at https://beta.icloud.com  or https://www.icloud.com  on your Mac, if you click the "Photos" icon. Click the "?" mark, to view the help for "Photos". But you cannot yet upload directly from your Mac to this library, even if the iCloud Photos Help is saying otherwise.
    You can download to your mac from your devices using USB, but with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled on your iPad or iPhone, you can no longer sync photos to them using iTunes Photo sync. So it is hard to get any photos onto your devices at the moment, other than using Photo Stream. To upload  photos to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes you have to disable iCloud Photo Library. And the synced photos will be erased, when you enable iCloud Photo Library again.

  • Pictures in iPhoto were not downloaded to iCloud Photo Library

    I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library.  I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.

    I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library.
    iPhoto on your Mac does not (yet) work with iCloud Photo Library Beta. Right now, iCloud Photo lIbrary is limited to your mobile devices using iOS 8, see this link:   iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.
    These limits are applying to the Photo Stream, not iCloud Photo Library.  (iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ)
    Early next year iCloud Photo library should be available on your Mac as well, when the new Photos.app for Macs will be released.

  • IPhone 6 will not sync albums from iPhoto on Mac

    I checked sync over WiFi, and I have my computer set up to sync all my iPhoto albums, but the phone will not add any of the photos or videos.

    I was having a similar issue here... see if the suggestion helps of first copying from iTunes library to phone... (?)

  • Syncing Faces from iPhoto 09 to iPhone 4.1

    I have a bunch of faces in my iPhoto Library and wan't to sync them into my iPhone. When I plug my iPhone into my Mac, I open iTunes and then clicked the Pictures(Images) in the iPhone Section in iTunes, I choose iPhoto but I can't find anything about Faces! Why? Can anyone help me?

    Have you updated iPhoto? Current version is 8.1.2. If you haven't updated, that's your problem.

  • Can't sync album from iphoto 9.4.1 to iphone 5

    I can't seem to be able to sync my photo albums onto my new phone.  I back up to the cloud but I believe you have to sync with your computer to get your photo albums on your phone.  So I selected the name of my photo album and sync but nothing happens.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

  • IPhone video sync quality to iphoto after iCloud photo library enabled

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this works.
    Since I opted to enable my iPhone 6 to optimize videos and photos that are stored locally on my phone, I presume this means that after I record a video, this will be synced to iCloud photo library in full quality, and thereafter removed from my phone, only to be replaced by a compressed version of the same video, and thereby reducing the amount of space needed on the phone to store the video in question. Correct?
    If so, why is the result of a manual sync with iPhoto a couple days after enabling the feature, all my videos in full resolution? I mean framerate, data rate and resolution is the same as it always has been and doesn't seem compressed in any way. I know how iCloud would compress the file because of the current download bug on iCloud.com also discussed on this forum that only makes it possible to download the compressed version of the videos even though it seems to store them in full quality. The compressed version is only 720p and about 3500kb data rate.
    Any clues? Maybe it's just a beta bug. I mean the videos on my phone should all be a compressed since I can see the at iCloud.com and thereby also sync to iPhoto in compressed form.

    Because IMO Apple has never cracked photo management, I organise all my photos on my MacBook and sync the photo's folder to my iPad and iPhone via iTunes. This gives me the organisation I require, but it means I cannot do much at all with the synced folder except view the photos on my iPad and iPhone.
    I just enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, this deleted all the iTunes synced folders from my device, I expected it to upload all those photos to the cloud and then delete them from the device, but it actually just deleted them all and uploaded a few odd's and sods I had in my camera roll.
    I am currently unsure how to get my main photo library into the cloud as the Photos app is not yet available for Mac!
    So do not enable it if you manage your photos like me and you want your back catalogue!!
    I am very hopeful that Apple is about to crack photos management in an MASSIVE way, but until the Mac Photos's app come out continuity between iOS and Mac OS is still very broken.

  • Will all photos in iphoto on my mac be synced with icloud photo library?

    I enabled the "Icloud Photo Library" (beta) just now, and I have lots and lots of photos in "photos" in Iphoto.
    Will these be uploaded and backed up in that cloud? So if i would lose my computer, would they still be up there?
    If not, is this an option that will be created in some future?
    (Thats right, i don't know how to google)
    Thanks you!

    No photos from your Mac will be uploaded anywhere at this time. iPhoto does not use the iCloud photo library at all. It's only available on the photos app on your iOS device. When iPhoto is replaced with Photos for Mac, sometime in 2015, then we will know what features are available.
    But right now, if your computer is stolen you will lose everything.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
