IPhoto on iPad major problems

I got an iPad for my Dad. He has 73,000 photos, about 46 gb worth.
My first sync went poorly. It did not give any error messages, but the photos appeared to be transferred (it's a 64 gb iPad, and the sync showed the photos taking up space on the iPad). But iPhoto app on the iPad crashed (blank screen, then return to main window) every time.
I rebuilt the iPhoto library on his desktop Mac. Did not work. Then I created a new iPhoto library, dropped the "original" in iPhoto package contents to it. That kind of worked, as now there is an error message that the photos can not be imported because of disk space.
The best I can do is only transfer a subset of the photos.
Even though the iPad has plenty of disk space to store the 46gb of photos, it will not.
Any ideas?

My children bought me an ipad for my birthday July 2010.
I have problems also with iphoto - I have synced 1600 photos and cannot scroll thru without it crashing to black screen and then re starting itself. It will never let me scroll to the bottom of my most recent photos - this happened on my first ipad and 2nd ipad which both were replaced and now this is my third ipad doing exactly same. Extremely frustrating, I am no photographer requiring huge space and my 1600 photos does not even nibble into the disk space!
I rely on my photos for work and to date I cannot use this ipad for it's purpose - I would say this is critical for me!!
I have restored the ipad to factory settings and then reloaded umpteen times - now Apple are telling me it's software in my new 27" Mac also bought at the same time and coincidentally crashed after 3 days (kept turning itself off!!!) and was replaced also!
I have re installed initial software on my Mac and re sync ipad but it made no difference.
I'm no computer buff and I have only done what I have been told to do - I wouldn't know where to start to try and make any difference to my situation.
I just don't know what to do anymore - I cannot spend anymore time with this and the current situation is I now have to take back both my ipad and Mac computer to look into any software problems!
Possible I will be without a computer for 3/5 days - I can cope without the ipad but my work relies on my computer!
Has anyone any updates with this problem as I noticed on a few forums that this problem definitely exists.

IPhoto '11 Major Problems

Hello,
There are major problems in the new iPhoto '11 and I am wondering if anyone is having the problems listed below.
Every time I open iPhoto 11 it wants to upgrade the photo library. I let it, check around iPhoto and look at pictures, and quit iPhoto and it saves the library all 25000 pictures. So I open iPhoto again and it is asking to upgrade the photo library AGAIN. And it repeats every time I open iPhoto.
I also noticed this on other apps such as iMovie and Garageband. iMovie will upgrade all movies made on iMovie, and Garageband scans for Jam mixes every time I open the apps. After quitting iPhoto, iMovie, or Garageband it seems like it never saves changes. I have not tried iWeb or iDVD yet to see if the problem affects those apps aswell.
This is the first time I am angry at Apple for selling software for $50 when it doesn't even work properly.
I have a feeling that it has something to do with Time Machine backups, because after upgrading my library it started backing up all 120GB of photos again.
I have also heard cases of other people loosing photos, thank god I have a back up, all 120GB of it.
Please Apple release a fix ASAP!!!!

I seems to me as if you have a corrupted iPhoto library. Not bad enough to stop it working in iPhoto 9 but bad enough to cause an upgrade problem.
FWIW I had a corrupted iTunes library that didn't stop iTunes working but every 2nd time I connected my iPod classic it would claim that the iPod library was corrupted. Connect the iPod to a different Mac then back to the first and iTunes was happy for 1 sync -(: go figure.
I have a feeling that it has something to do with Time Machine backups,
because after upgrading my library it started backing up all 120GB of photos again.
I am waiting for Time machine to let me know about the backup size, but would not be surprised if it backed up the complete iPhoto library again.
Just think how difficult it would be to restore from 2 different library versions.
You usually just modify a single library version so then just the change make sense but after a major upgrade of the library version a new backup makes sense to me.

Pixelated images from iPhoto for iPad

iPhoto for iPad is a fantastic application, but very often although the images I edit look ok within the application, when I look at them in any other application (including apple's own built in photo browser) they are heavily pixelated, or some parts of them are missing altogether. The same thing happens when I beam or email said photos to my Mac.
I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app, I even went so far as to restore my iPad (non jail broken iPad 2, 64Gb, WiFi+3G, running iOS 5,1,1) from a backup, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Chris

Dah.veed
In the Photo app on the iPad in the Photos tab > Edit I can select pix, but the red Delete button is greyed out??? Puzzled.
Is there any other way to delete a range of pictures or an Album in the Photo app (or in the iPhoto for iPad app)???
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto, on iPad 3

Slideshows I have in iPhoto on my mac-mini, do not show up in the iPhoto on my iPad 3 (Just Photos, Events & Albums).
How do I get the slideshows (Saved with music in Mac-iPhoto), to show in my iPad´s iPhoto?
Do I need another app for this?
By the way, the same applies to the iMovie on my iPad (Do I need to import the movies/Slideshows
from iPhoto (Mac) into iMovie (Mac) to be able to see them on my iPad?
All I want to do is view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto,
on my New iPad (In iPhoto or iMovie if possible).
Thanks in advance for any help
AMI

Thanks for the tip Demo!
Sadly it is so.
Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
Solved the problem with Phtosync & Sugarsync Apps.
Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Any way to change the iPhoto (iOS/iPad) slideshow speed?

Using iPhoto on iPad, there is a slideshow feature, but I can't find any setting for the duration per slide? Is it possible to change this at all?

Hi Léonie
Thanks for your suggestion. I had also found that Settings option.
However, the Photos app has a major drawback compared to iPhoto: when output via the HDMI external adapter, it uses the default (utterly idiotically infuriatingly inappropriate) TV underscan, so it doesn't fill a Full HD screen. iPhoto is more sensibly designed and doesn't underscan, so photos are shown full-screen.
So I find myself apparently caught between two Apple apps that both have obvious, glaring deficiencies!
I wonder if Apple software engineers EVER examine real-life product usage or even talk to actual users.

TS3274 Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?

Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?

What problems are you having ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting and selecting your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto albums/events) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Another major problem after 10.4.8 update

Hi everyone,
I've never had any major problem with any Mac OS update yet until I had the crazy idea to install the 10.4.8 update last week. I wish I would have never done this. This is also the first time I wish I had Windows since I can't remember such a big screw up with any Windows update I've seen.
But back to the problem, after the installation on my old 12" Powerbook (1.33GHz with an additional 1GB of RAM) the system got really slow. The harddisk was accessed all the time, so after reading some forums people said that Spotlight would run a re-index of the database which made sense to me. So I just let it run over night and the next day the permanent HDD access was gone, but whenever I tried to access a folder it took ages (HDD access again...). So I decided to reboot which took about 20 minutes until the desktop fully showed up and was useable. Again, I had HDD access all the time. After two hours or so it stopped again, but as soon as I clicked on something, for example a folder, it started again. At that point the Powerbook was simply not useable anymore because I couldn't even start a program.
So I start browsing through several forums and many people suggested to re-install the 10.4.8 combo update again. That's what I tried, after a while I could only hear the HDD access running and running. The installer said 29 minutes left and progress bar didn't move any further. I had it running for over a hour like that. I couldn't abort it, I could start no other software, nothing. It still showed 29 minutes and the HDD was accessed all the time.
So I restarted the Powerbook since this obviously wasn't going anywhere. Apple logo came up, the little gear spinning thing as well and of course I could hear the HDD being accessed. After two hours of doing this I aborted and decided to boot into safe mode to install the combo update. Again, same situation. HDD running like crazy and Apple logo, but no login screen coming up.
So I decided to boot from the Install disk and have the disc utility check the HDD... but of course after selecting the language and clicking continue at the screen when the HDD first shows up it starts to access the HDD... I can't select the HDD, I can't even get to the DU, nothing. It's been running like that for hours now. It seems like whenever the HDD is involved in something the accessing starts and just keeps running without any result. The HDD is getting very hot already.
I've never run into such a problem before, so I'm kinda clueless what to do next. I don't mind to reinstall, but I have some files on that HDD that I need (some notes in text files, some emails and so on).
So at this point I can't boot into OS X to access the HDD and I can't use the installer disk to access DU or even reinstall if I wanted to. I don't think the HDD is broken, this only happened after the 10.4.8 update. It just seems that every HDD access takes hours and hours longer than it should.
What options do I have to get my data from the disk? I'll try to install OS X to a new external drive tomorrow (need one with firewire first). If that doesn't help I thought about pulling out the HDD from the Powerbook and hook it up to my MacMini or an iMac.
If anyone has any other suggestion or solved a similar problem before, please let me know.
Best,
Stephan

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

How do I move photos in iphoto for ipad from album to album ?

how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

Is there a way of viewing iPhoto for iPad Journals or Photostream Pics via the iCloud service?

Is there not a way of viewing either Photostream images or iPhoto for iPad Journals via the iCloud Service?
It seems very odd that you don't seem to be able to do this when they are both touted as using the iCloud service to actually share the images.
Or am I missing something?

Wow, thanks!
Looks like the basic version of LogMeIn will serve my need here very nicely.

Can I create a printed calendar in iphoto with ipad. Don't see that option.

IPhoto used in past by others in family to create a family calendar as Xmas gift. This year it is my job. Downloaded iPhoto for iPad from App Store. (Paid $4.99). Now can't find path to create a calendar. Description of iPhoto includes calendar, but seems ambiguous on use of iPhoto iPad app for this. Maybe can only do calendars on the Mac version? Can I use iPhoto for iPad to make a calendar?

iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"
