IPhoto not syncing certain photos to iPad/Apple TV/iPod Touch

I have an Event which contains a mix of photos and movies imported from my Canon camera (as I have done successfully in the past). The strange thing is that many of the photos of this particular Event do not sync to my iPad, Apple TV, or iPod Touch. (I'm not syncing the movies.) This has always worked in the past.
I tried rebulding the iPhoto Library, but it seems to get stuck at 55%. The one work around that I found could work is to drag one of the photos that don't sync out of the Event in iPhoto onto my desktop. Then, I re-import it. That photo then shows up on my devices when I sync them. However, I would think I don't have to do this. Any thoughts?
The only difference that I think might be affecting the sync is that I previously uploaded the photos from my Canon camera to my iPad via the iPad Camera Connection Kit as an easy way to quickly upload my photos to Facebook while I was away. When I got home, I then imported them into iPhoto from the Camera --not the iPad -- as I have done in the past. However, as mentioned above, when I go to sync the photos to my devices, many of them don't show up.
Tony

Note that I am not getting any error messages when I sync such as the photo being too big or the wrong format. I'm using the same format/camera/etc as I have always done and even recent photos that I have imported work fine. The only difference is using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

Itunes only syncing certain photos to ipad 2 I have saved in iphoto

I have uploaded photos from my camera to iphoto. I then edited them deleted some and cropped and adjusted the rest and put them into a folder. I then wanted to put this folder containg the pictures onto my ipad 2. I connected my ipad and ticked the box containing the pictures and expected the folder to sync but all I get out of 220 photos are approx 40 that itunes is syncing across. I have created different folders but itunes is still only syncing about 40 pictures. I have restored the ipad etc, and itunes will not sync folders that I am making containing photos I want on my ipad. I then decided to save a hard copy to disc to find that iphoto has duplicated all the pictures. For example all the photos I edited (220), I now have 600+ saved to disc!!!!!!!!!! What the **** is going on. Why can't I simply drag and drop pictures I want onto the ipad????? What am I doing wrong that itunes and my ipad cannot sync photos properly??? HELP!!!!

You can try deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder and then sync again. Read this support article for instructions.

IPhoto not syncing to photos app on iPhone

I'm trying to see my shared photo folders from iPhoto on my iPhone 6 using the photos app but under sharing, the iPhoto shared photos don't show up under Shared. I've made sure I'm using the same account on all devices and Mac and enabled sharing. What gives?

Ok, in iPhoto I created a photo stream called My Cruise which I shared with those on the cruise. They can see those photos.
In the Photo app on my iPad, using the Photo App, I can see the photos. On my iPhone, however, they're not showing up. This is on my phone. When I look on my iPad, I can see all my shared albums.
I even turned off Sharing and turned it back on and nothing shows up. I'm using wifi if that even matters.

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?

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works!

Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive 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.)

My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

Please help,
Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966

Hope that helps.

Photo Stream not syncing all photos

Hi,
I'm experiencing some issues where Aperture Photo Stream is not syncing every photo to iCloud. I've successfully shared a number of projects but there are a few that just get stuck and only seem to sync some of the photos and the same ones each time. For example I've a project with 36 photos of which only 22 will sync which I've recreated a few times with exactly the same result each time.
I'm fully up to date with OS and Aperture and I've rebuilt permissions and the library and have deleted and recreated the Photo Stream a few times. All the photos are referenced and I've rebuilt the image previews in the project(s) concerned.
Looking in the Console log the only message I'm seeing which is indicating a problem are these which look related but give no further information or indication:
Aperture: invalid share context
Aperture: invalid context
Any help appreciated.
Matt

WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

HT201269 How can I sync my notes from my iPad to my iPod Touch?

I just bought the iPod Touch 5th Generation. I want to sync my Notes from my iPad to my iPod Touch. I cannot figure out how to do it.

See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
That get all info transferred (except for iPad apps not compatible with the iPod)
For Note only, just use the same Apple ID for Settings>iCloud make sure that Notes is turned on in Settings>iCloud.

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

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.
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.

I am getting the following message: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPad because the sync server failed to sync the iPad. Help!

Found the solution at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692.
In my case, resetting the sync history and disabling the add-ins fixed the problem.

When I try to sync photos to i pad from my pc the photos are not synced and I get an error message "could not sync 113 photos see i tunes"

When I try to sync my photos from my pc (windows 7) I get an error message that could it could not sync 113 photos of 1170 or so and that I should see itunes. Many of the the photos that are synced are mixed intothe wrong albums. I have deleted the ipad cache numerous times; meticuliously reorganized my albums, tried to add albums both individually as well as sync all. I am beside myself.

Delete the iPod Photo Cache folder. Its location can be found here:
