IPhoto to iPhone 4

Hello.
I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to upload my old phone pictures onto it - I like to have all my pictures with me wherever I go.
I've read in some topics about the picture size increasing for the iPhone 4, but can someone please explain to me why the iPhoto library folder on my computer is 1.94GB and yet when it syncs to my iPhone it's suddenly 4.6GB?
The pictures themselves, in their highest quality, only take up 1.94GB. Where is this extra data coming from and how do I get rid of it?

You said "when it syncs to my iPhone it's suddenly 4.6GB?" but you also said you have not synced it yet, which one is it?
The photos should be within a couple % of what the photos will be, they can't be that much. Plus if you are not printing them, you should reduce them in size as even 1.9 GB is a lot of photos, how many thousand are you uploading?

How to find cause of "File cannot be found" in sync iphoto to iphone in itunes?

Hi can anyone help with syncing iPhoto to iPhone ? I know similar posts exist on this subject but I have spent 4 days reading them and every support article even vaguely related to it but have not found a solution that works for me. I have downloaded the latest iTunes, deleted the itunes helper p'list, deleted the ipod photo cache, tried copying my iPhoto library to another HD and syncing with that, tried switching the phone on and off while connected with iTunes and when not, done innumerable restarts, unchecked the sync photos box to delete library photos from the iphone and tried again, rebuit the iPhoto Library, repaired permissions, rebuilt thumbnails, and a few other suggestions I've read and all these many many times in the hope that this time it might work and all to no avail. When syncing, iTunes verifies the phone, backs it up, syncs everything else then analyses the iPhoto library, optimises the photos and then starts to copy them and after a few moments gives me that familiar message that the " iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found " My iphone tells me " iTunes Sync Needed. High Resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer ...launch iTunes to sync them." Where the photos used to be in each album or event that is still listed there are just black boxes. I use the iphoto library on my iPhone for work purposes, at least I used to and I still need to. This is really driving me nuts and I am sure it's rectifiable but I am clueless as to what to do to fix it. I'm sure someone out there knows what I should do and I really need to know! PLEASE !

It works on my Windows 7 laptop.
iTunes has to be started.
Are you sure you have Windows Explorer set to show file extensions?
Sounds like you renamed it from "FindDeadTracks.txt" to "FindDeadTrack.js.txt" if it is still opening in notepad.
All I do is have itunes started, double-click on the .js file, and let it run. My library is pretty large so it takes more than a 1/2 hour to finish going through all the tracks. It comes back with a message, "0 dead tracks found" and the little notepad results file it creates is blank.
If you DO have dead tracks, it comes back with a message like "15 dead tracks" found and the results file lists those 15 tracks.
The name of the results file is "Dead Tracks.txt"

I'd like help troubleshooting moving albums from iPhoto to iPhone

Help! I'm having trouble moving iPhoto (OS 10.7.4) albums/photos back to iPhone 4S (OS 5.1.1). I previously uploaded all photos from iphone to iphoto and parsed into albums. I deleted all photos from iphone. I followed apple instructions to move selected albums from iphoto to iphone, and iTunes shows synched, but no albums or images on displaying on my iPhone.
Thanks in advance for assistance!

Free up space on my HD
Move current photos to my "Mac My Book" 1TB
Insure moving forward all new photos are stored and accessed to and from the My Book
This is clearly a request to move the iPhoto library to an external hard drive and run it there
The instructions for doing that are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
It is NOT possible to do that on a USB Stick!

IPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported.

iPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported as they are 'unrecognised format' although are jpg.
Aperture and Bridge can't import them either so deduce problem is with iPhone Camera or Camera Roll.
Can import files to my MacPro from my DSLR and compact cameras - to iPhoto, Aperture and Bridge whether Raw or JPG.
iPhoto shows 221 imported photos and 357 un-imported photos as grey boxes.
iPhone software current version. Have tried restarting.
Mac Pro using 10.6.8, 8GB Ram and masses of HD space - running very well. Application software fully up-to-date.
Ideas?
Many thanks.

I saw a process that seemed to work, in Iphoto , uncheck the " hide photos already imported box" which revealed the unimported photos in the camera roll, then simply select them and import them.

Iphoto phantom iphone

Every time i open iphoto, my iphone will come out when it is not plugged in, anyone have the same issue?
Also, iphone syncing is very slow, I normally wait for it to load all the thumbnails before importing as if i do not, there will be errors importing.
It could be that my phone has too many photos (around 2.5k) but is that really the problem?
Anyone heard of this issue?
Could it be a cable problem?
The problem was transfered from my old mac, a 2010 macbook to my new one, 2010 macbook pro, even with an update to iphoto, '08 to '11

Hi, thanks. I think it worked.
I see you have many many points. Can you answer another question?
Sometimes I am unable to 'slide to unlock'. I would slide it off the screen and it doesn't register, I would slide it to the edge of the screen and hold it there and sometimes it still doesn't register. sometimes it works if I hold it at the edge for a while, then slide it off, but sometimes even that doesn't work. it is very frustrating if i have an incoming call.
Somehow, if there is an option to slide to read SMSes, that always works.
Do you have any idea?

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
any help appreciated - thanks

With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

Syncing selection of photos from iPhoto to iPhone

Just bougth an iPhone 3GS 16 gb and want to sync a selection of photos/maps from iPhoto, through iTunes, to the iPhone, just like I do with syncing music. Under the Photos tab in iTunes I can only choose for all the content of the iPhoto library. But then I get an syncing error message (-50). I see the possibillity (like under the music tab) to select only the maps I want, but I can not click on it, it's greyed out. I already adjusted under the summery tab not to sync automatically but manually.
Moreover, syncing photos to the iPhone 3G of my wife worked just like I want, using the same iMac, but when I tried it just now (it was some time ago that I synced that iPhone)it appears to have the same problem. I'm not aware that I changed some tuning. Could it be caused by an updat of MacOSX or Itunes or iPhoto?
What to do?

You need to go into your iPhoto application and turn off (or disable) all music that is tied to any of your self-created slideshows. This error seems to be directly related to odd characters in the titles of the songs in your slideshows. Then sync your photos. Afterward, you can then "try" and go back in and re-attach your songs inside your slideshows, and see if your iPhoto photos will again sync without the -50 error.

Error transfer photos from iPhoto to iphone 4.

i have problem sync all my photos from iPhoto to iPhone 4, iPhone is 4.2.1, iTune is 10.2.2., iPhoto'09 8.1.2
Do i need to upgrade to iPhone 4.3.3 or iPhoto '11 for solving this issue? But it doesn't make sense. Please help!

I don't know if you solved this already or what, but I had a similar problem with my iPhone4 - no joy recognizing the photo folder in iPhoto or anywhere else, but no problems with iTunes. Same problem in both Windows and OSX. I gave up trying to get iPhoto, photo capture to work and went looking on the AppStore for an alternative.
Downloaded Photo Transfer,
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
this solved all my problems immediately. Ridiculously annoying that the default application doesn't work anymore and that Apple have made it sooo difficult to get to our data, and doubly annoying that the Photo Transfer app isn't free - but it seriously works like a charm.

Sync dates of photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I was recently on holiday and after I synced my photos from my camera and iPhone to iPhoto I realised that the date stamp on my camera was incorrectly set to 2013. I updated the photo info in iPhoto and they are all now showing as 2014. However, I have removed and synched them with my iPhone several times but it still treats them as 2013. They are all out of order in the Collections view. I'm using the most up to date software for my Mac and iPhone but it did this before iOS8. Any suggestions?

Import photos from iPhoto to iPhone

How does one import photos from iPhoto to iPhone?
I have looked on the user guide and have found no answer.
Thanks!

Question: How do you just have the Photo albums on the Iphone and not the Photo Library? Or just have the photo library without the photo albums? I have 146 photos in the library and the folders (two with 87 in one and 59 in the other) That are also in the library. It seems like having duplicates will take up space that I don't want to take up.

ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method. My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option). I cannot. Please see the screenshot I took:
Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos. So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message. Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.
