I created folders in iphoto on my imac, synch using itunes and selected all photos from iphoto but those albums don't show up...most my albums do but a few don't!??

I have a new iMac and I'm a new mac user....I have an iphone5..and ipad2.
I have created folders on the imac in iphoto.
I am synching the ipad and iphone with mac using itunes...selecting all photos, 3,500+ and although all the pictures may be sharing on all devices, the folders aren't.
I have created several folders and copied pictures into those folders and they look fine while in iphoto....but I can't get the to synch into ipad and iphone using itunes.

Folders in iPhoto do not contain photos. Albums and Events do. Folders can contain albums, but not photos on their own.
So, do you mean Albums?

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud.

I just purchased elements 13 and downloaded my photos from iPhoto (I have a new iMac) and

when I click on a photo it says it is a missing file and can't find it. any solution to this problem?

skyjacob
If all you are seeing is "Elements 13", please take another look. The program is designated Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13. Essentially the former is for photo editing and the latter is for video editing.
What you are aiming at is probably the Elements Organizer 13 which comes with these programs as I have described the situation in my post numbered 2. But, I cannot be sure that you are not trying to get photos from iPhotos by using Premiere Elements 13 Editor instead, with Add Media/"Photos from cameras or devices"/Adobe Premiere Elements - Photo Downloader".
And, if you do not have Premiere Elements in the first place, that possibility is out of consideration.
The answers will be in the details. And the troubleshooting rules in or out factors involved which are part of the problem description that you supply.

How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

Create an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it. Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button. Next select Email and go from there.

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

IPhone is not getting all photos from iPhoto during sync

One particular album in iPhoto is only showing as having 3 photos in iTunes and only syncs those 3 to the iPhone. The album actually has 9 photos, but I can't get the other 6 to sync up. Any thoughts or experience with this problem?

Got it. I had to export and then drop the photos back in the album. Lost all the notes i had put on them, but at least now they show up in the album in iTuens and synch to the iPhone.

IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

I cannot email photos from iPhoto. I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

Do you have two-step verification enabled and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
Then check this solution:
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)
Re: I am having trouble e-mailing from iPhoto the message I get is E-mail server didn't recognise your username/password combination
Re: Mac's new Photos app is not letting me email

IS there a way to load and purchase different photos from iPhoto and ship them at the same time? the only way that I can find is to purchase each photo (or multiple of one) at a time, which increases the cost of shipping, as I want to get one print of 20

Is there a way to order multiple different prints in any quantity from Iphoto? it appears currently like I would have to ship each separately, even if only one print... is there a way around this so I can can get several DIFFERENT prints of any quantity and ship all at the same time?

Sure - easiest way is to make an album for photos you want to order and drag photos to it - when it is complete open the album, select all and order

Import all photos from iPhoto library

With Yosemite 10.10.3, I was able to import and upload all my photos from current iPhoto Library 2014 onto iCloud and into Photos App. But I have another iPhoto Library called iPhoto Library 2013 which contains all my 2013 photos. I had to stop that as earlier I had only 128GB SSD on my mac. Now, is there a way to get all those photos into the new Photos App?
I mean, 2014 library alone took me 2 weeks to get it all uploaded. If I switch library, it will start all over again I am afraid and it may eventually never merge into one library.
If answer is no, is there a utility that can open up my older iPhoto Library and pull all my photos out by events ? That way I can extract all the photos to external drive and then import them into my current library.
I even asked at apple store and the so called Genius said "Google it" !
Please let me know if you faced such a problem and if so what you recommend is the best solution!

It may indeed be better to start again with an empty iMac, but i am suggesting this for additional reasons. Do you need another identical iPhoto Library eating up space on your new Mac. Aperture is well able to better organise the library than iPhoto ever was.
Getting started in Aperture in a way you can continue to build on is the hardest thing to get correct at the beginning. When you do, it is a very easy matter to bring in new work in to Aperture from the camera, to build it forward in to the future, or bring in old stuff to organise retrospectively in to the past, and combine both in a way that works for you. Rather than having the trouble that seems to occur frequently here, when folks transfer to Aperture with iPhoto. Don't bring too much iPhoto baggage and forget the term Event.
Aperture is a whole new world and may be a little alien at first, and this frustrates quite a few people when switching. Try out some library structures without images. When it is to your liking then start to populate it with some images in to a nice new and powerful photo library that you know works, and in the way you want, and have got familiar with. The transition should be much easier that way.
This little snippet of information is critical to start with:
Folders hold Projects. ie Folder: 2010. Sub Folders by Season or Month. Project: Vacation, Birthday, Children, etc... Now you want the best children images together in one place, from birth to present. Albums and smart Albums do this, with the aid Powerful search tools.
I hope this helps a little. Allan

Syncing selection of photos from iPhoto to iPhone

Just bougth an iPhone 3GS 16 gb and want to sync a selection of photos/maps from iPhoto, through iTunes, to the iPhone, just like I do with syncing music. Under the Photos tab in iTunes I can only choose for all the content of the iPhoto library. But then I get an syncing error message (-50). I see the possibillity (like under the music tab) to select only the maps I want, but I can not click on it, it's greyed out. I already adjusted under the summery tab not to sync automatically but manually.
Moreover, syncing photos to the iPhone 3G of my wife worked just like I want, using the same iMac, but when I tried it just now (it was some time ago that I synced that iPhone)it appears to have the same problem. I'm not aware that I changed some tuning. Could it be caused by an updat of MacOSX or Itunes or iPhoto?
What to do?

wjosten posted "Re: Cannot sync selection of iPhoto to iPhone" in "Cannot sync selection of iPhoto to iPhone" on Dec 27, 2009 4:29:17 AM.
You need to go into your iPhoto application and turn off (or disable) all music that is tied to any of your self-created slideshows. This error seems to be directly related to odd characters in the titles of the songs in your slideshows. Then sync your photos. Afterward, you can then "try" and go back in and re-attach your songs inside your slideshows, and see if your iPhoto photos will again sync without the -50 error.

ITunes doesn't see photos from iPhoto

It used to work OK, but now when I connect the iPhone (3G), iTunes launches (iPhoto too), starts syncing (uploads all the music again!), but the photo section says that the albums I have selected do not contain any photos.
I deleted albums, created new albums (in iPhoto) rebuilt the library in iPhoto, but still no update in iTunes.
Both iTunes and iPhoto files/data are held on an external file server, but I can see all files in each application.
This seemed to start happening after a full reset of the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Adam

This could be a problem with the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto Library Folder. Quit iPhoto and remove the file from the iPhoto Library Folder, then launch iPhoto. It will recreate the file.
If that doesn't work:
Remove any non-ascii characters in Keywords, Album or Photo titles - basically anything that's not a- z and 0 - 9. This includes &.
If that doesn't work then read this thread

How do i find photos from iPhoto to upload to ebay?, how do i find photos from iPhoto to upload to ebay?

how do i find photos on iphoto on my mac to upload to ebay?

The first of these:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can I select multiple photos from iPhoto to edit in Photoshop Elements?

From iPhoto I am wanting to select all the photos from an event or album to edit in Photoshop Elements to avoid having to switch back and forth between the two. I have PSE set up as the external editor in iPhoto. When I have the photos selected in iPhoto and click the edit button, the most photos that will show in the PSE project bin is 4. I can go back to iPhoto and select more and they will be added to the existing photos in the project bin, but again I am trying to avoid having to go back and forth, and want to be able to edit one event/album in one sitting. I've tried highlighting each individual photo within an event, and also just the event, but still the max is 4 photos. It seems when I did this a couple months ago it worked fine, but since it is not doing it now I am questioning whether I imagined the whole thing! Is there a way to have more than 4 photos at a time? Thanks in advance for all help provided.

Hi, cyndy. Welcome to the discussions. No, 4 is the largest number you can send to PSE at one time. (This is an iphoto limitation, incidentally, not a PSE limitation.)

Itunes do not syncronize all photos from iphoto

Hi,
I have some problems in syncronizing photos through iTunes with my iPad 2. I select some events from the Photo menu, but not all the photos within are syncronized. I already tried to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder, no success.
Using iPad 2 iOs 5 with MacMini, Mac Os X 10.6.8, iPhoto 11
Anyone has any suggestion?
Thank you

I've figured out why it's not working, just not sure the absolute correct way to fix it. The albumdata.xml file is wrong. When I moved from /users/michael/iphoto to /volumes/data/iphoto, only 400 of the pictures metadata changed. Most of them stayed as /users/michael/iphoto in the albumdata.xml file. To "change" them in the .xml, (I wouldn't call it a fix) is I selected all the pictures and did a batch change of Title to Filename. That worked for me, because my pictures titles were the filenames, but if you rename the titles, you might have to find another way. Directly modifing the albumdata.xml file won't work. It's overwritten each time. This link helped me figure the problem out.
