ITunes does not see iPhoto Albums
I've been struggling with getting my iPhoto library to show up in iTunes for synching with my iPod and Apple TV. I read through a bunch of posts and tried rebuilding my iPhotos database (when out of iTunes and other iLife apps).
It didn't work.
I then pulled the AlbumData.xml into Text Wrangler and "Zapped Gremlins" which removes all odd characters. I dropped it back into the standard location and opened up iTunes. Viola! It was there. I jumped back into iPhoto and put together a new album with photos that I wanted to synch.
I went back into iTunes -- nadda. Nothing. No list.
What's going on? Why is iPhoto putting bad characters into the xml that is not letting iTunes read it?
Any ideas?
I am running the latest iLife suite.
Ok, after a few hours of trial and tribulation using Text Wrangler, I isolated the bad characters to three photos with strange characters in their file names. They were scanned images that were probably accidentally named with a bad character. I edited the file name -- that does not work. I edited the xml file and file name. That does not work.
Finally, I saved the comments for each photo, deleted them from iPhoto and reimported those three and applied the three comments. That worked. Ouch. I hope this helps someone so that they do not need to work on this for so long.

Hi,
I had to reinstall mac os x with the installation cd and first my mini ipad said that this version of itunes was not the one with whom it was synchronized and now itunes does not see the ipad at all! And yet, iphoto sees it.
I have already tried to restart the macbook and the ipad but in vain.
If somebody has another answer, I would be grateful.
thanks!

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.
OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -

I purchased an iPod shuffle for my girlfriend. Loaded about 40 songs then repacked and gift wrapped it before giving it to her. She has iTunes on her computer and it is updated. When I hook up her iPod, iTunes indicates it is not authorized so I authorize the ipod but the icon does not appear so it seems that iTunes does not see the shuffle. Please advise.
Shuffles are a bit different, they can only hook up to one PC

I would restore it to factory settings using your PC, then see if her PC will recognize it.
