Importing smart album to iphone via itunes

Hi,
I created a smart album in iPhoto of all my phone photos in the last 2 years. I now want to import this to my iPhone using iTunes. In iPhoto, that album contains about 950 photos, but when I go to photos in iTunes and select the smart album i created, the number is much lower: about 450.. I tried importing it anyway but most of the pictures are missing in the phone.
only workaround I've found is deleting all the pictures in the iPhoto library and re adding them, but surely this can't be the solution, as i often sync my phone and i don't want to be doing this all the time.
any clues?
thank you
damiano

There may be a problem with the iPod Photo Cache folder in your iPhoto Library. If your library contains such a folder, quit iPhoto and iTunes and delete the  iPod Photo Cache folder as described in this document:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If there is no  iPod Photo Cache, or the problem persists, repair your iPhoto Library with the First Aid Tools.
Launch iPhoto with the key combination⌥⌘  (alt/option-command) held down.
Keep holding down both the keys, until the "Library First Aid" panel opens.
Select first "Repair permissions" from the panel and let iPhoto repair the permissions.
Repeat the step with "Repair database" selected.

  • Can't import new album from iPhone to iTunes??

    I recently downloaded the new free U2 album to my iPhone but I can not import it into ITunes on my computer.
    All others albums/songs will sync but not this album.
    Any ideas????

    Hello there, auscaz.
    The U2 album should be showing in your Purchases in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up the steps on how to download a previous purchase:
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download previous purchases on Mac or PC 
    Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
    iTunes 10.3 or later
    You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
    iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
    iTunes Store
    Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
    Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
    Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
    Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you'll see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
    Click the Download  icon next to the item you want to download.
    If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.

  • Syncing m4b files to iPad / iPhone via iTunes

    Wondering if anyone else ran into a problem syncing m4b files to their iPod/iPhone via iTunes.  I was able to import these into iTunes with no issues, but when I try to transfer them to my iPod or iPhone, they do not show up in the list.  Anyone knows why?  I thought, m4b is Apple format.  I was able to convert the files to mp3 and get them over that way, but that's a pain in the neck.

    That particular Kbase article is the inverse of the question....
    It describes device to computer transfers but says nothing about transferring from computer to device.
    In fact, the implication from that article is that it CANNOT be done!

  • Aperture photos to iPhone via iTunes problem

    I have just created an Aperture 3 library, and am trying to put some photos on my iPhone via iTunes.
    In the Photos tab of iTunes, when I select Aperture the option to sync "selected albums" is greyed out...I can only select "all photos and albums".
    With the iPhoto selected I can chose "selected albums".
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Found the answer..."Selected Albums" option is not available until Aperture has finished building previews for the entire library.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Manage photos on iPhone via iTunes 12.1

    Trying to manage photos on iPhone via iTunes 12.1, but there is no option. I get the headline message that iCloud Photos is On. iPhone can access photos in iCloud. Photos can be downloaded to your device via WI-Fi or cellular network.
    Problem is I have not authorised iCloud to backup my photos and do not intend to.
    Does this mean I can no longer sync photos betw

    What exactly are you trying to do?
    You can access the photos on your phone via Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) or iPhoto, not iTunes.

  • As I was in the process of updating Iphone via itunes, I got an error message now do I need to restore and lose all my media info

    I need to know how do I use my phone now since I was in the process of updating the iphone via itunes, now it is in the mode of connecting to itunes!  I really don't want to restore my phone as I may be losing all my media and other contact information!  How do I get out of the stupid mode??

    Your apps / music / photos etc are stored in iTunes on your computer.
    Just do the Restore then re sync your iTunes media.

    Make sure and create a backup following the instructions at that link.

  • Updating Apps on iPhone via iTunes on a MacBook Pro

    I am trying to update the apps on my iPhone via iTunes but the apps are not appearing on the Apps section to update. Could anyone help?

    Hello SeamyMoore,
    It sounds like you are not seeing your apps that you need to update in iTunes.  I recommend reviewing the following article to download the apps from your past purchases.  This will download the latest version of the app.  Review the section titled "Using iTunes 11 or later" or "Using iTunes 10.7 or earlier:"
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • I recently deleted two albums off of my iphone via itunes but, they are still showing up on my phone, they are not albums that i have purchased through itunes, can someone help me figure out how to delete them please?

    I recently deleted two albums off of my phone using itunes, but when i went back onto my phone, they were still there and playable. they are not songs that I have purchased via itunes so can someone please help me figure out what is wrong so that i can fix the problem

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

    Dear reader,
    i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
    I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
    A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

    When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called  '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing... 

  • I got my ipad 2 yesterday.  I am trying to transfer photos as albums to ipad via itunes. I put the photos in a file with sub-files as I was told. The all tranfer but into one album. Is there a way to do what I am trying?

    I am trying to tranfer photos from pc to ipad via itunes. I put the photos in a file and sub-files in order to tranfer them as albums: an main album with albums within. All the photos tranfered but into only one album. Is there a way to do this? Is there an app that would help. Also, I tranfered two albums into iphoto. I edited a photo in one album which created a new album of edits. I have removed the photos form the album but I am not able to delete the album themselves. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
    When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
    Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?
