Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip

means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

IPhone not synching all photos.

I am having a strange issue with synching my iPhoto library with my iPhone. For some reason, only about half my photos get synched onto the phone. I had first noticed this when trying to dig up some photos of my son and noticing that I only had the ones from right after he was born about a year and a half ago. Even more curious, when I tried to reset photo synching by turning it off, the phone retained the pictures. Even stranger, I could not delete them from the iPhone by going to Settings>General>Usage.
My iPhoto library is on my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8. My iPhoto version is 9.2.3 (can't upgrade further without upgrading to Lion). I knew this was not an issue with insufficient space on my iPhone because the status bar at the bottom in iTunes indicates that even with the entire iPhoto library synching, 6 GB is left over.
I had seen a similar issue on someone's iPad, and the solution was to back it up through iTunes, restore the OS onto the iPad, and let the restored backup re-populate with data. Unfortunately, this did not work for my iPhone. I even turned off photo synching before the restore to confirm that there were no photos on the phone after the iOS restore. I then turned photo synching back on, and once again, only half of my iPhoto library synched. I got an error message on my phone that "3,268 photos could not be synched to your iPhone because of a problem. Check iTunes for details." However, there was no message in iTunes to indicate what the error was. The photos just did not synch.
Next, I tried emptying the iPod Photo Cache inside the iPhoto library and synched again. iTunes rebuilt the cache, but still did not synch the photos. I got the same error message on my phone, and no indication of a problem in iTunes.
The next thing I was going to try was to rebuild the iPhoto library, but if anyone out there has seen this issue and resolved it, please let me know, as it would save me a lot of time.

Hi mrchanbong,
When researching the error message you provided, I found the following resource which may assist you:

Smrt album not syncing all photos to iPhone

I made a smart album today, and then chose to sync that smart album to my iPhone from iTunes. However, iTunes syncs only 5 photos. Aperture tells me there are 86 photos.
I figured the problem was that only 5 photos had previews generated. However, I have used the Update Preview function on 6 photos, as well as the Generate Preview function on 6 photos. However, iTunes still says there are only 5 photos in the smart album. (I chose 6 photos because in the best case for my test, I would get 6 new previews, while in the worst case I would get 1 new preview. In any case, I would get some new previews.)
When I use iPhoto to "Show Aperture Library", I see only 5 photos as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this smart album to sync? Am I on the right track with the previews?
thanks,
nathan

Huskte,
Yes, other albums sync, although I have only 1 other album selected. The rest of the Aperture -> iPhone integration is done by iTunes's "All projects within the past x days" selection. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they are all there... I will have to check that out.
Good suggestion, however, I'm pretty darn sure it doesn't have to do with the iPod Photo cache. I tested the Aperture sharing capability by looking at this smart album through iPhoto, and it (like iTunes) says only 5 photos are in the smart album. It's something to check when I get back to the mac, though.

Iphoto not syncing all photos

Hi all, got a MacBook Pro from end of 2011 and an iPad from a few months earlier. Every program on my Mac, iPad and iPhone updated. Suddenly, at least I think so, syncing my albums in iPhoto isn't working properly any more, some albums don't sync!? Any more out there experiencing the same issue? Example, pictures taken last week (with iPhone 4S) and sorted in different albums (copy from Photo stream), one album is syncing and not the other one, I'm going mad! This is only one example, some older albums doesn't sync as well and I have no clue why, HELP!

I'm bumping this thread as I'm having the same problem.
I recently bought an iMac .. Restored from Time Machine of previous Macbook, and everything was fine.
I have been recently having some problems with sort order on the iPhone..   All events & albums are fine; organised correctly and sorted by date.   But the 'Photo Library' album, the one with every single photo in one big album, is in some unarbitrary sort order.    So I had wondered why this was.
I googled it, searched support communities, and even called AppleCare..   In the end someone suggested using both iPhoto & Aperture which I proceeded to do (to allow me to use the Aperture 'Manual sort order' feature).. This didn't work as iTunes had some problem with preview sharing with Aperture & in the end I just shut that door for now.
So I then proceeded to resync my iPhone with my iPhoto library, and now I'm getting that error message on the screen of my iPhone saying, in my case', 1500 or so items could not be synced.   I followed insructions & checked iTunes for more information, but none was forthcoming.
So I have been looking around for some fix to this problem! (Woe is me!)   And so I stumbled across this thread, I tried trashing the iPod Photo Cache and nothing has seemingly happened.
Does anyone have a further step to take?

IPhoto not showing all photos

I have iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3. Some time ago I noticed that certain events in the event view were showing up with zero photos in the event, with a gray palm tree sunset as the key photo of that event. When I go to import pictures from my camera, iPhoto reports that photos in the camera are duplicates of photos already imported, but it shows a blank for the imported photo. Since iPhoto seems to know they are there, I don't re-import. When I go to the Finder and look for the "missing" photos, they are there in the iPhoto Library (under Masters). So, my question is, why does iPhoto know they are there but can't show them? And how do I fix it? And BTW, they have not been made hidden in iPhoto.

Option 1
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.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

IPhoto not finding all photos when importing

I'm trying to import 14,499 photos. The problems is when I drag it over or click file import it only imports about 12,200. What happened to the other 2,299? I clicked yes to import duplicate photos. I plan on running duplicate annihilator once all of the photos are in. I can't tell which folder or photos it's not importing. The pictures are in 50 folder, and several have sub folder. I have tried running it on the laptop hard drive, and a external hard drive with 2 different libraries and still same problem.

If you're shooting HDR photos with your iPhone and don't want double imports turn off the Keep Normal Photo under Settings ➙ Photos & Camera on your iPhone:
Frankly, I'd keep the normal photo. It might be far better than the HDR version, if the camera was not perfectly stabilised or the target moved. Usually it requires the large screen on the Mac to be able to compare the normal photo to the HDR version, to be able to see, if the HDR version is passable.

MacBook will not accept all photos from Iphone 4

I need assitance with downlaoding all images from my I phone to my macbook 4, an error message continues to prevent them from completing the downlaod thereby taking up my memory, and fear of losing photos because the downloads will not complete.

Want to share a bit more information - like what the error message is - what version of iPhoto - what version of the OS - any other info that might help someone who only knows what you tell them see what is going on so they could possible help you?

Photo stream not putting all photos on iPhone 5

I have a imac with all my photos stored . I have just purchased a iphone 5 and also using ipad2 which i have done ios 6 update.
My photo stream shows 750 photos on imac for which that is showing them all on my ipad2 but my iphone has only downloaded 139.They say you only keep them for 30 days which must be wrong as i have them all on ipad. When i bought iphone5 i did icloud set up as i had iphone4s before.
Any help please.

While photos in a device's photo stream album remain, the photos in the photo stream server in icloud remain for up to 30 days. So if you recently added photo stream to a device and the stream photos in icloud are over 30 days and thus have been automatically deleted, your device won't have any stream photos synced to it. It sounds like that is the case with your iphone.

Iphone 4 will not sync all photos with my mac

Iphone 4 will not sync all photos with my mac

I have the same problem as well.....this is the message the kept popping up when I try to sync that photos that i ave already imported to my iPhotos, the fastest way to sync ALL of the photos is to drag the photos on to the desktop, rename the files and then import them AGAIN.
This only happened recently, can anyone help???

Can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5

I can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5. It always can sync some photos into 5. Then finish and prompts: "itunes can not synchronize (other)thousands of projects, and see more information in itunes". That means most of my photos can not seen on Iphone 5, it seems just can't import to 5. Is that the problem of Iphone or the pictures in Aperture, or even just because lack of sufficient space?

Photos app not syncing with iTunes

HT1386 i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?

Iphoto 11/Part of Ilife does not display all photos in "photos" or "events"

I am running latest version of everything, just loaded ILife. Iphoto 11 does not show "ALL" photos when I use "photo" or "event" view. It shows some....when I cycle down through the Blank images in these views, it will often show the pictures as I mouse click down.....but as soon as I take my finger off the mouse, everything (well, almost everything) reverts to blanks.
There is nothing selected to be hidden.
I have "Faces" set up and now when i look through an individual "Face" file, there will be intermittent Blanks.
Very screwy, anybody Help????

Option 1
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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, faces and places 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.

When i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

when i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.
