Iphoto albums won't sync in order on iPad

Since iOS6 came out I haven't been able to sync photo albums made in iphoto with my ipad. I have the photo albums sorted by title in iphoto and before they would sync over to my ipad in that correct order, but now when I try to sync them over they appear in a completely different order. So I was just wondering how I can get albums from iphoto to sync in the correct order on my ipad?

I have asked this same question numerous times at the Apple store and have not received an answer. I worked with an Apple rep via phone for 2 hours who said I needed to wipe the (new) iPad clean and re-set up the iPad as new, with the photos and then the issue would be resolved. Not! I still have the same problem. Events on my Mac are in date order (as the events are labeled in iPhoto) from most current to oldest. You can imagine without the events being in order how difficult it is to find a particular event (no less a single photo) in over 14,000 photos.
By accident I did discover that the events are in chronologic order in the wall paper setting on the iPad so it is possible for this to occur on the iPad but not in iPhoto on the iPad?!?!?
Has ANYONE found a solution to this?

IPhoto album won't sync?

I have an iPhoto album that won't sync to my iPad2 running iOS5. My Mac is OS 10.6.8 and iPhoto is v. 8.1.2. This particular album never had an issue syncing before. I just noticed it when switching from an older iPad. I did a restore from backup of old iPad to new iPad2, not sure if that is the issue. I also tried setting up this iPad as new and running the sync, but still have issues with this one album. It will sync without error, but the album does not appear on the iPad.Other albums sync without an issue. Just noticed than iTunes shows the album as having 0 photos, while iPhoto shows it as having 62 photos. Any ideas?

The file in the Library that governs sharing is called th AlbumData.xml file in 09.
Quit iPhoto.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the AlbumData.xml file
Drag it to the desktop. Restart iPhoto. That will force it to regenerate the file.
Restart iTunes too and try again

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Photoshop elements 11 albums won't sync

Photoshop Elements 11 albums won't sync with ipad using iTunes.
I was using PE10 and synced my albums using iTunes to my iPad 3 iOS 6.0 and 5.1 just fine. (itunes 10.7.0.21) I upgraded to PE11 and it goes into perpetual sync when albums are selected. I deleted some albums and added test albums in PE11 and those changes are not reflected in iTunes.
I worked with Apple Care for about 2 hours uninstalling all of the Apple software (iTunes, etc) and reinstalling. That did not fix it. Apple declared it an Adobe problem and suggested I call them.
I worked with Adobe about 45 minutes before they declared it an iTunes problem.
Any ideas out there?

I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

i have about 1900 photos on phone and 50 on ipad. how do i fix?

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

çnow won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal

I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

Purchased albums- do not sync in order

My purchased albums do NOT sync in the playlist order of the album. Shuffle is NOT on.
Now I am getting messages that my software is too old, click on the tab on my nano. WHAT TAB?
Gateway crap desktop Windows XP Intel Pentium III, over 512mb RAM

In iTunes, on the screen that comes up when you plug in your nano, there is an Update button. Does it say that the iPod needs to be updated or does it need updating?
If it needs an update, update it.
Also, how are you viewing the albums? That may be affecting what order you are seeing them in. Go to Music>Albums>then find the albums. does that help?
If not, try a Restore. (right next to the Update button).
Also, the iPod nano Forums may help you more in the future.
I hope this helps and post back!

New album won't sync to iPod (knife party)

So i just bought the new knife party album "Abandon Ship" and it won't sync to my iPod for some reason. Ive got an iPod touch (2nd gen i think?).
Essentially it just won't sync i drag the album onto my iPod, on the iPod i get the revolving arrows for about 30 seconds - 1 minute then it stops but the album is not there. I also cannot redownload the album to my iPod, i tried to redownload it on my iPod and i simply get a greyed out "purchased" button on all of the songs. If i sign out and try to buy the song, then sign in it says "You have already purchased this album, would you like to buy it again?" Which of course i click no to.
The strangest part is that if i go into my iPod in iTunes and then on recently added playlist the album is there but is greyed out and the dotted circle is present as though it is waiting to sync, but won't I've added a picture of this to clarify (see below).
Ive completely updated both my iPod and iTunes and relogged into both + restarted both, to no avail.
Thanks for any help in advance guys!
Isaac.

This shouldn't really be a problem for most music. I'd say 99% of the time the "Artist" and "Album Artist" are the same. This only came up for me because of a new album I bought from iTunes. I looked through my other music and didn't find any others.
You can go in iTunes and just delete the album artist field. Probally fastest way.
I am not sure you have the same problem. In my case the album art and album info was in the apple TV but no songs showed up. Can you see the songs but just can't play them?

Some albums won't sync to ipad.

Some songs in itunes which have been burned from CD will not sync to my ipad. I did a full restore of the ipad and this solved the problem i thought, but now the problem has recurred--many albums just wont sync.

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

ITunes won't sync music to my iPad

iTunes won't transfer all the music from my computer to my iPad. The sync starts, it transfers about 500 of 2500 songs, then just stops.
I have tried disconnecting wifi, reinitialising the iPad and practically every other tip I could find on this forum: no joy.
Just seems incredible that the music I have (mostly) paid for on iTunes won't sync from one device to another. Are Apple trying to get me to pay for iTunes Match?!
Thanks in advance for your help...

I don't use and never have usediTunes Match, I almost never buy music from iTunes, and I can sync all of music just fine - purchase and imported from CD's.
Have you tried syncing with the cable if you are using WiFi? Do you have enough storage space on the iPad? Could it be that the sync stops in the same place very time indication a corrupt song or album? Have you tried syncing the music in bits and pieces - simply as a troubleshooting step?

ITUNES WON'T SYNC ALL SONGS TO IPAD

When syncing my ipad 2 to itunes on my desktop, not all songs transfer over. I select one play list to sync, and some of the songs move to the ipad though all show up on the desktop/itunes view of my ipad. It appears that the songs that won't sync are ones I've loaded onto itunes from a cd while all of the songs that transfer are purchased. Ive tried reseting the ipad to original settings, turning the computer authorization off and back on and hard resetting the ipad. And both the ipad and itunes are currently updated. And these same songs that won't transfer have transfered fine to my ipod. Any suggestions?

Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5. How can I refresh them so they will all sync together. I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro. I turned iCloud off then on again. I also turned calendars on and off again. Then the event disappeared from my iPad also. So now it is only on my iPhone 5. How do I sync ical with all my devices?

Anna,
I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

ITunes purchased movie won't sync to iPod or iPad "not authorized"

I purchased a movie today and can watch it on my AppleTV and on my computer. However it won't sync to my iPod or my iPad because it says "this computer is not authorized." I have:
1. Checked that Home Share is on.
2. Authorized my computer.
3. Deauthorized and authorized my computer.
4. Looked for the movie directly from the Purchased tab on iTunes within the iPod and can't see any movie purchases there at all.
HELP, this is going to drive me batty!

Exact same problem with a brand new ipad 3.

IPhone photo sync interrupted to iPhoto now won't sync pics!

I was on vacation and syncing my photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro while I lay in bed. At some point my MacBook went to sleep (I believe) and the photo syncing from iPhone to iPhoto was interrupted. Now both devices believe the photos were synced but they weren't and now the pictures and videos are taking up much needed room on my phone. What do I do to get these to sync???

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
