ITunes not seeing iPhoto Albums in iPod interface

All other iLife apps see the iPhoto albums but not iTunes. The Albums are not listed - just a blank window. When I try to sync all the photos from iPhoto to the iPod I am getting the -50 error.
I have done the 5R's to the iPod.
Any ideas?
TIA
MJ

I followed your last instructions but I still get the error-50.
I think I have narrowed it down to an iPhoto problem.
I created a new iPhoto album and then created some smart+regular albums and iTunes could see them and sync them to the iPod. I then added about 1500 photos, at some point iTunes refused to see the albums again.
I will keep at it until ...... if all else fails I will just take the photos that I want on the iPod and export them to an folder and added them to the iPod that way.
Thanks for your input.
MJ

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

ITunes not syncing iPhoto album list properly

Hello,
iTunes has an out of date list of iPhoto albums. I have tried restarting both but no change. Any other ideas to kick iTunes into having another look at the iPhoto album list?
Thanks,
John

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?

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.

New Itunes not syncing new albums to Ipod

Hi,
I have added a couple of new albums to my Itunes but when I synch, everything looks ok, but one of the albums has not transfered to my Ipod. I do not have the grey boxes, the entires album is just not there.
I have tried deleting the album and starting again and even restarting my computer. Itunes Match is turned off and my settings are so all albums should transfer, According to my device storage, there is not issue of space. I don't use Icloud.
Im stumped, anyone know why its not transfering?
Ive had nothing but problems with this new Itunes its very frustrating!
Itunes and ipod touch 3rd gen, software are all up to date.

iTunes has "lost" the music, OR the music was "red box" explicit and someone put parental controls on the iPad or computer to block the songs.
If the music is lost, use iTunes 'Help' menu to find path to music.

Can I put iTunes library and iPhoto albums on external hard drive?

How can I, if there is a way put my iTunes library and iPhoto albums on my external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive? If this can be done what are possible issues and do I just access them through my external drive when I need them. Can I sync my iPod to the external drive in order to deal with daily pod casts etc?
thanks,
Bill

Can not see the device net Master Interface in my project.

Can not see the device net Master Interface in my existing project. Need to Modify exististing code. Can not recomiple and create exe file after making changes. Error says the vi's are broken. Tried re-installing industrial communications for device net but get an error saying a newer version is already installed. Do I need to plug my computer into the device net scanner to fix this?

Assume the installation disk is an OS X disk? If it's the original one that came with the system (grey-colored disk versus black retail disk) have you tried to hold the alt key down when you boot? This would allow you to choose the Apple hardware test. If you can do this, choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow to the right, and when prompted choose the extended test. Does that give you any errors or messages about a hardware problem?
Are you able to hold the C key down when you reboot, to boot off the installation disk?

ITunes not seeing my iPhone4...

This is prolly an old one, but here goes...
Phone arrived yesterday, attempted so sync on MacBook pro (running Leopard), iTunes not seeing phone.
Re-installed iTunes 9.2, everything fine.
Today, attempting to do some more syncing, and, once again, iTunes has amnesia.
What's going on here?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just got my iPhone 4 today -iTunes doesn't see mine. Did your issue ever resolve? The phone says NO SERVICE. Was that your issue, too?

Itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

If you can see the songs but they are "greyed out" it's because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.

Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device. ??

rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device. i'm brand new at apple tv - do i need to enable it or something?

Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad

I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad! What should I do?

Hello JChalups,
It sounds like your phone has calendars that your iPad no longer shows. First verify that the same calendars that are on your phone are stored in iCloud by checking the calendar at http://www.icloud.com. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article on your iPad. If not, then use it on your iPhone instead:

60G video iPod with +15G free can't see iPhoto albums, -50 error

Everything had been running smoothly in my 60G video iPod with photos and videos and music. With more than 15G free on my iPod, space isn't an issue. For reference, I have iPhoto 6 and iTunes 6, both completely updated (as is QuickTime). I've deleted the iPod photo cache on the hard drive. And, because of a previous iPhoto problem, I've rebuilt my system from the hard drive up recently.
Here's the problem: I don't know why iTunes "suddenly" can't see the iPhoto albums. It can see the iPhoto library, but won't let me select specific albums. I don't want all my photos on my iPod, plus it's a +30G photo library so it wouldn't all fit anyway. All I know about what happened right before this problem is, and I quote:
Q: "What happened?"
A: "That beachball thing spun for like 5 minutes so I restarted."
Q: "What application were you using at the time?"
A: "Who knows?"
(To which I'm desperately thinking "Count to 10, you're the adult...count to 10, you're the adult...")
In hunting around on my hard drive, I can also see that there are a bunch of random gifs and jpegs in the Pictures folder. It looks like the Apple website blew up, piece by piece (a gif for each tab across the top, for example) along with some widgets and something I don't recognize.
After deleting my iPod photo cache, I could get iTunes to start updating the iPod again, but now it doesn't see anything but the whole iPhoto library. I tried selecting the whole library, but I got the -50 error again (can't update, error unknown). I use the iPod extensively as a traveling photo album, and now (because I deleted the iPod photo cache I assume) I don't have ANY pictures.
Thanks in advance for your help.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Fixed!
Adding new photographs to my Library seems to have sorted the problem out. So if anyone else has this problem, a holiday to Amsterdam is the cure

ITunes Not Seeing Album or Song Names

My sofware will not recognize the album or song names when I try to download to my IPOD. I'm getting the following error code when I ask for the track ID...is it related? If not does anyone know who to fix problem? I have already downloaded the software again.
ERROR MESSAGE: "CDDB ERROR Http processing error"

Hi, TroyD1.
>... is it related?
Yes but before fixing it, can you confirm what
firewall you're using on your computer and what your
default web browser is (not sure how that's done in
Windows 2000 but, fwiw, in XP it's done by going to
the Start menu > Contol Panel > Add or Remove
Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults).
Has this ever been answered....Im having the same problems and am trying to find the solution on here - My searches just end up with pple who had the same question but I dont see the answer.
I have windows xp and it was working fine for the first few hours and then stopped working and I have deleted and reinstalled itunes several times but the same issue keeps occuring

Itunes not seeing Ipod and songs not playing Ipod

I have a couple of issues just wanted to know if anyone has run into. I have a couple of computer one running Vista, the other XP, neither see the ipod in itunes, both see it in Windows. That is the first problem. I have also tried all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of this support website, except re-installing the operating system. The other issue is that the ipod does not play the music that is currently stored on it, it acts like it is going to and then stops the screen turns black and the apple logo appears, any ideas?

Hello betel23,
Have you tried resetting the nano yet? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. I would try these more than once just in case.
Otherwise, try forcing the iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instructions in this Apple support document. It may help your iPod mount as an external drive on your system as well as get it to appear in iTunes.
