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.

  • HT3412 Can I order an iPhoto album from my iPad?

    Is it possible to make and then order a printed iPhoto album from my iPad like you can from a Mac?

    You should ask that question in the iPhoto for iOS forum.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto Event/Album syncing across iPad and Mac.

    Does the new iPhoto allow me to delete photos on my iPad and have that reflected on my Mac? I essentially want to manage my iPhoto events/albums on my iPad rather than having to sit at my mac for hours. Thanks very much for your help.

    You question might better be served in the iPhoto For iOS community where everyone there probably has iPhoto on their iPad.  Here there's no assuance anyone has an iPad with iPhoto.

  • How do I transfer photos from iphoto album to my ipad

    How do I transfer photos from my iphoto album on my Imac to my ipad

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • 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...

  • Not all photos in iphoto are syncing to ipad

    I hope someone can help me with this!  I noticed that not all of my photos are syncing to my iPad (original) anymore even though I have "sync all" checked on the photos tab of my iPad in iTunes.  I have recently uploaded pictures from my sd-card onto my MacBook Pro from the little reader slot as well as photos from my iphone.  All of these photos are organized into Events in iPhoto.  My camera is about a year old so I've uploaded pictures many times before, but there are also pictures from two other cameras in the library.  There are pictures from the newer camera that HAVE synced onto the iPad.  For example, we have a ton of pictures from our trip to California (one event in iPhoto) last spring in which half of them show up on the iPad and the other half do not. 
    Also, if relevant, my iphone is about 2.5 years old (holding out for the new version!), and it seems like some of the pictures from the phone are synced onto the iPad from iPhoto and some aren't. 
    My ipad and laptop both have plenty of space for the pictures so I don't think that's the issue. 
    Advice I've seen so far...
    After searching through these boards and googling the issue, I've read a lot about deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but I don't know if this is really for the same issue. 
    Additionally, I found a post on another site that mentioned an issue if the images have the same file name.  It doesn't seem to matter to iPhoto if the names are the same, but it sounds like it may matter to the iPad (according to the one post that I read)?  If that's the case, I don't know how I would ever prevent this from happening because my DSLR will always number the pictures in order, which is what my Point & Shoots did as well.  I'm pretty sure that's standard for all cameras.  If I were taking a few pictures every so often, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the names of each image, but when I'm loading 500 pics at a time, which is generally the case, I can't rename them all.   
    Help with this is much appreciated!

    If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
    Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
    Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

  • Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

    Here is my problem.
    I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
    Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
    Here is the my photo dilemma.
    I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
    Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
    So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
    Thoughts anyone????
    Thanks

    What was the question?

  • Problem after importing iPhoto library - Syncing iPhone/iPad: wrong dates

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem, which I cannot seem to find a solution to:
    I have imported my iPhoto library into Aperture without any hassle. The problem now is:
    When I sync my iPhone/iPad within iTunes, and I click "sync with Aperture"(instead of iPhoto) under "Photos", then "select only the projects of the last 3 months", I always wind up with ALL my Photos (20.000 +) that I have imported with Aperture. Not just the last 30+.
    The individual photo's meta information in Aperture is however correct: i.e. a project containing pictures from 2006 still shows the pictures being from 2006. So they shouldn't show up under the photo sync within iTunes when I click "last 3 months", right?
    What am I doing wrong? Does Aperture set the date to all the imported projects to the same current date they were imported on? Is there any way to correct this, or sync only the photos of the last 3 months?
    Otherwise I will have to go back to iPhoto...
    Thank you!

    again the same problem, i emptied my trash and again resync after uncheck the photo sync option all the pics were gone, there wasnt any cache in pictures folder, i selected the photo to be sync arround 4573 and again its updating only 405 and i dont see any cache in pictures folder, i dont know may be in lion its saving cache somewhere else, im unable to find it and unable to do it right way. i searched in spotlight for ipod photo cache nothing showed up.

  • HT1495 How can I sync my iPads notes with my wife's ipad

    HElp

    You have to be using the same iCloud account if you expect your notes to sync to her iPad. Are you sharing an Apple ID and the same iCloud account? If not, your notes are not going to sync.

  • I used  itunes to sync new ipad, not everything came over

    I used itunes to sync between my mac and a new ipad. My old ipad had a few playlists with the media to play them. I also had been using itunes with this older ipad so I thought that these playlists and media would come over the new ipad after syncing it. They didn't, nor did the media to play them. How can I bring these playlists and media into the new ipad?

    Did you select the playlists to sync in the music pane of iTunes? They must be selected to sync to the device. I'm not sure that I know what you mean when are talking about the media to play the songs. You have to sync the songs to the iPad as well and then you play the songs in the music app on the iPad.

  • Pages from iMac synced to iPad not found by iPhone 4

    Seems odd that the doc I created on my iMac can not be seen with my iPhone 4. The doc was "added" from my hard drive to Pages in iTunes with my iPad running OS8 in Apps tab. The iPad was Synced from my desktop. On the iPad>Settings>iCloud>Backup I selected "backup now". I used my iPhone 4, 7.1.2 selected Pages and could not find the doc–on either the iPad OR the iPhone. Am i missing something?

  • IPhoto Starts when connecting iPad; not iTunes

    Hi Folks,
    I've checked the settings in iTunes under "Summary/Options" in iTunes and the option is checked to start iTunes when the iPad is connected.
    However, when ever I connect my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto starts automagically instead.... I have manually start iTunes and even then it takes several seconds for iTunes to recognise that I've connected the iPad.
    Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks!
    Richard

    iPhoto opening automatically was annoying me, too, but I found a solution in this iPad discussion group. I don't know how to insert a link, but here is the address, the answer being the last posting.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12600577&#12600577
    The solution has something to do with "ImageCapture", so you could search in this discussion group for that if the address above doesn't work. Or, search "iPhoto", and the answer is in a posting from November 17, 2010.

  • Why don't all iPhoto albums appear in iTunes so I can download them to ipad

    Q: When I first had iTunes move my ebooks to the new iBooks app in Mavericks, many of my books didn’t get transferred. How can I get these books back? Are they lost forever?
    There was a bug in the first version of the iBooks app that prevented it from moving all the books in the iTunes library to the new app. In my library, only two books didn’t get moved, but I’ve heard from people who lost dozens or even hundreds of books.
    These books should still be on your computer. If you haven’t done so, open the App Store app, click Updates, and download the iBooks 1.0.1 update. Launch iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes. This should move the remaining books to iBooks.
