IPhone 4 album display photo is not the "KEY" photo from Aperture

Aperture sets a "KEY" photo to best describe the contents of an album of many photos. iPhone 4 ignores this key photo and uses a random, often obscure photo to display. How can I correct this?

Solved it.
In Aperture I selected all of my photos, and then from the menu selected Photos > Update Previews.
Voila.

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I use iPhoto and want to know how to get the 'key photo' i select on my MacBook Pro to be the one that gets used on my iPhone when i sync them. Any ideas? also, i want the events to appear in the order i choose on my MacBook too

I use iPhoto and want to know how to get the 'key photo' i select on my McBook Pro to be the same one that gets used on my iPhone 5s when i sync. i also want the events to appear on the iPhone in the same order i have them on my macbook. any ideas there too?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Because that is the design of the iphone.
Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process.

I cannot transfer music to my iPhone4. I just got it and was shown how to do it on iTunes. I managed to transfer photos, but not the music. I tried auto sync and also manyal. Nothing worked - still no music on my iPhone :-(

How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?

There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

How do I change the key photo of a Photo Journal created in iPhoto for iOS?

Is there a way to choose this photo? It seems to default to the first photo in the event used to create the journal, not even first photo on first page.

If you edit the journal, select the picture you want to use, choose "Edit" and then select the settings icon (the gear wheel) you can choose to select this picture as the "Key Photo".

HT201317 Shouldn't the photos on my iPhone's "My Photo Stream" be the same photos that are on my computer under "photo stream"?

Shouldn't the photos on my iPhone's "My Photo Stream" be the same photos that are on my computer under "photo stream"?

Not if you enable photo stream on your computer at a later date. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos remain on your iOS devices until deleted. This means that when you enable photo stream on your computer (or any other device) you only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days, even though you may have older photos on your phone.

My Iphoto library has recently updtaed itself with a same picture icon for every event. I backed up all my photos and deleted all the events in the library. When I imported a fresh batch of pictures the same picture appeared as the key photo. Help

Hi,
My i photo events in the library have updated themselves with a key photo. I really do not want this picture as a key photo on every event.
I backed up and deleted my entire library. After importing a fresh event, the key photo still remained the same. How can I stop that.

Sorry to ask but since we onlhy have words to comunicate with here using them correctly is critical
iPhoto is an application and lives in your Applications folder
Your photos are in a database which by default is names iPhoto library and is in your pictures folder
I still have Iphoto on my computer.
Is this the application of the intact non-functioning liPhoto library?
I have copied all the pictures on a USB so I wont loose any data.
exactly how did you do this?
Then I deleted all the pictures.
and exactly how did you do this?
Have you done this?
If so what were the results?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails (you may need to do several times)

Has been fixed the sync problem of the key photo?

Hi! Since IOS 5 my iPad hasn't synced the key photo of the events from iPhoto.
I would like to know if Mountain Lion has solved this problem or any other update.
I have an iPad 1 so I can't update to IOS 6, so I hope it'll be a problem with iTunes or iPhoto....
Thanks

Thanks No1_Slumko.
The Bluetooth issue isn't a deal breaker for me. I am just surprised this isn't fixed so it must be a real problem for them maybe at a hardware level.
The music artist album thing is a fail though.
Just odd they had these things perfect on the N97 but S3 has broken them! (fixed everything else though.)
I still cannot get over how well this phone works in terms of its radios. Very strong clear voice comms, ultra fast GPS and reception, excellent FM reception, and the FM broadcast is a lot more clear than on my N97.

Is there anyway to organize icloud photo steams into abc order? and can you change the key photo image??? makes me crazy!

I am searching for ways to organize my photo streams...alphabetical preferably.
Also how do you change the key photo from something random that i did not choose to be the key photo (in the photo stream/icloud mode).
Thank you!
sue

As far as I can see, sue, the shared Photo Streams will always show the photo last added as the key photo. So just make sure the last photo you add is a photo like to see as the key photo. I do no know of any method to arrange the photo streams alphabetically. My photo streams are neither shown in chronological order nor in the order I created them.

How do you save your photos in iPhoto and be able to find the photos when you are in different programs. When i try to find them I can only find the iPhotos not the individual photos.

Use the media browser. In every open/attach window in tithe lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

In my events the key photos no longer show up and the picture amount reads 0, but the pictures are still there when I click on that event. Why does the amount read 0?

In some of my events in iphoto no pictures show up in the key photos. In others they do. I just upoaded some and no problem. I noticed that in the lower right corner of each event with no key photo the photo amount reads zero. I click on that event and all of the photos do show up. Does anyone know why this is happening, or have come across this before? Thanks, Daryl

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
