IPhoto album sync not properly done

Hi,
I have some problem when syncing my iPhoto albums, they won't sync properly, as in an album, i've some pict of the library that shouldn't be in the album (as they are not in the album on the computer).
I try delete all albums on the iPhone4, trying to sync back and still the same problem.
any help ?
fred

I have the same problem.
Have a MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard)
Use iPhoto for my photos.
Use iTunes to Sync.
Mosly my iTunes syncs selected albums/events without any problems.
But a few of my albums/events won't sync. Or the albums/events syncs, but only one or two photos.
iTunes simply doesn't see, that there is photos in the selected albums/events.
It sometimes helps to make a new event, and put the photos from old even into new one.
But this time, nothing I do helps.
Really boring.
It's like there is a communication error between iPhoto and iTunes.

Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.
Using iPhoto '06

I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD.

Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD. Also, could be better if IPHOTO Album could access "inspector tool" with ability to change the slide duration time and apply a random "Transitions" to specific slide.

Are you sharing an album of photos or a slideshow to iDVD? If it's an album then what you get in iDVD is just a slideshow with the photos in it where you have to set the transition and slide timing unless you add music and select fit to audio.
Don't know what you mean by the template format unless you're referring to the themes in a slideshow? If you share a slideshow the ss is converted to a Quicktime movie file and that is added to the iDVD menu window. No changes are possible.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV. Videos in other folders are there. For instance, one album has 43 videos and 1600 photos. Apple TV only shows the 1600 photos. Is there an issue with albums that have both photos and videos?

You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

Album sync not working correct

Hello everybody,
i use the Photos app since the first Beta and i think that there is potential to be a good App. (IOS really needs the possibility to delete only the local picture an not the one in the include )
Now i updated to the new Yosemite and try to sync the pictures from iCloud. Everything works fine, except my albums.
My Albums are sorted like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
-Meeting
-- Meeting 1
-- Meeting 2
- Events
-- Event 1
-- Event 2
On my iphone everything works fine. I See all picture an albums.
On Photos first everything was fine but suddenly after a restart all Albums were gone. I tried to sync them into a new library but all i got was maybe 1/3 of my albums like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
All pictures are synced right...
It was the second time now that they gone and i really don't want to tag the faces and the Albums new all the time
hope somebody can help me...
Hope somebody can help
greets
Rigo
P.S. I have a backup library... maybe i can copy the album/faces files from there ?
EDIT:
The Photos.App shows that everything is up to date (Albums still not shown)

Good luck. I had duplicate albums created also, but am also missing a lot of pictures which do not sync over to other devices or to the web based Photos. I have deleted the Photo library and forced it to import from iPhoto a second time, but the same pictures are missing and have even more duplicate albums. Fortunately I am not doing this with my primary photo library so I can just delete everything and go back to iPhoto.

Iphoto album synced issue...

Has anyone noticed once you sync an iphoto album and open pictures, then while your on the "photo albums" screen and press the home button and the app closes there is a white pixel that stalls for a second in the middle of the third row of apps?
I know I'm nitpicking...maybe I'll send some feedback...

it only happens via photos app, none of the others, its like the gui is messed up for the closing of this app...I submitted a bug, but it is a very small detail...

Iphoto albums did not import to photos app

I updated to OS X 10.10.3 as suggested. This replaces iPhoto with the Photos app. The Photos app said it was adapting my iPhoto library to Photos. I have 15,700 photos. The process was very slow so I left it running.
When I returned several hours later, the Photos app was open but had no library. I was offered the 4 basic options including import. When trying to import photos, the finder window showed the old iPhoto library, but it was greyed out. How do I get my 15,700 iPhoto images into Photos?

Don't use the import panel, switch to your iPhoto Library.
Either drag the iPhoto Library to the Photos icon in the Dock,
or quit Photos, then hold down the alt/options key while double clicking the Photos icon in the Dock. Select the iPhoto Library from the Library chooser panel.
Photos should have migrated your library automatically, Either it did not migrate the correct library, because your iPhoto Library could not be found or opened, or your iPhoto Library has a corruption.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored? In the default location, your Pictures folder, or on an external drive? If external drive, is the filesystem correct (MacOS Extended (Journaled)) or do you keep the library in a partition that is formatted for Windows? Is the drive locally mounted or a network volume?

Iphoto album sync to ipad not easy

I've got an ipad and lots of albums in iPhoto. I have several albums set to sync to ipad and iphones, but sometimes it recognizes when I've added photos and sometiems not. I've shut iphoto and itunes, unplugged ipad, etc.
What is the voodoo to get the ipad to recognize that I've added a few new photos to an album that is checkmarked to sync?? I don't see a pattern. I've unchecked.rechecked, hit "apply" and "sync" several times...
In Itunes there is a little gray number next to the checked album, but it does not show correct number of pics, almost like iPhoto and iTunes are not communicating.

You make a interesting observation. I've never had a photo added to an album in iPhoto on my Mac fail to make into the correct album on my iPad during a sync. After adding the photo, I quit iPhoto. Then start iTunes on my computer.
After iTunes has started I connect my iPad and just click on Sync.

Images not in "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder not properly handled

One of the features I was grateful for in iPhoto 6 is the ability to NOT import photos into the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder. This meant I could use iPhoto to view and edit photos without duplicating a folder structure I use for my photo files.
Unfortunately, I have now discovered that any program that attempts to access photos through the iPhoto API can see the previews for these images, but can not actually access the images. This means the "Desktop & Screen Saver PrefPane" can see the iPhoto previews, but fails to load an image for the Desktop (or Screen Saver). NOTE: It does appear that iMovie does see the photos properly, but other non-iLife portions of the MacOS don't.
Anyone got a fix for this? I suspect it is a bug in the iPhoto sharing API, but I am hoping someone might have a fix.

I don't think there is an API for iPhoto, or at least I cannot find it anywhere. Any integration with iPhoto is purely a hack.
If you can find documentation for an API, please let me know.

Pictures from an iphoto album are not in iphoto library HELP

I have photos in an album on my iphoto but they are not actually in the library?? how does this make sense!? so when i come to delete them i dont know if they're deleted or not.
also another topic is that to delete a picture in i phioto i have to delete it from the library dont i as if i delete it form an album it just deletes it from the album??
sprry probably very dumb questions but im just trying to figure it all out.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If the photos are in an Album, then they are in an Event, somwhere.
One way to find them might be to flag them, which will help them stand out a little as you search.
Yes, to remove a pic from iPhoto it needs to be removed from the Library view - either Events or Photos.

HT2638 my iphoto albums do not show any photos in them

How do I restore my photos in iphoto. The albums are listed but do not show any photos in them

Same problem - need the same answers
what recently changed? what version of iPhoto do you have?
Plus in your case the veresion of the OS - you do not give that - the OP does
Using all of the information you gave the most likely reason is that you deleted 90% of your photos and they are gone

PS - using cute emoticons, strange formatting, bold, underlining, etc does not replace actually providing requested information

ITunes is syncing Notes that don't exist

I have recently changed the login details on my PC from a peer-to-peer network to being attached to a domain. After the changeover I had to reset all of my iTunes options for my new login.
After syncing with my iPhone 4 with Outlook 2007, I now have two sets of "Notes" on my phone but there is only one Notes folder in Outlook.
Can anyone tell me how can I merge these two sets of Notes on my phone, please?

When you reach the limit of 5 then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

When I try to sync iPhoto Album I get an Uknown Error -50

My iPhone syncs up just fine in every aspect. Except for Photos. I have read all the problems with the iPhoto Albums not showing up in iTunes. I am having that same problem, so I decided to just select the "All photos & albums" option, even though I can't control which albums to select because they don't show up.
Now when I start the sync process, everything is still fine. It syncs the contacts, calendars, bookmark, but before it get's to Photos, it stops syncing and gives me the "Unknown Error -50" message. Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
Thanks - Mike
PS I tried using terminal to see what the problem was with the AlbumData.xml file, but couldn't get the command to work properly because my iPhoto Album is not in my user folder. It is in a seperate hard drive.

You mention that your iPhoto Album is on a separate hard drive and outside your user name or home folder. If you ment "iPhoto Library" take a look at this post.

ITunes not seeing iPhoto Albums in iPod interface

All other iLife apps see the iPhoto albums but not iTunes. The Albums are not listed - just a blank window. When I try to sync all the photos from iPhoto to the iPod I am getting the -50 error.
I have done the 5R's to the iPod.
Any ideas?
TIA
MJ

I followed your last instructions but I still get the error-50.
I think I have narrowed it down to an iPhoto problem.
I created a new iPhoto album and then created some smart+regular albums and iTunes could see them and sync them to the iPod. I then added about 1500 photos, at some point iTunes refused to see the albums again.
I will keep at it until ...... if all else fails I will just take the photos that I want on the iPod and export them to an folder and added them to the iPod that way.
Thanks for your input.
MJ
