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iTunes has an out of date list of iPhoto albums.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?

  • Problem with Aperture not syncing iPhoto albums to iPad

    Want to sync a few choice old photo albums created in iPhoto to my iPad.    Since I am now running that old iPhoto library in Aperture I should be able to sync selected albums via iTunes, Aperture and USB.  
    I looked at iTune's photo sync screen and saw that iTunes still distinquishes between iPhoto and Aperture libraries, i.e. one needs to make a choice. 
    I selected Aperature in the "Sync Photos from" popup and got the following err message:
    "Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
    My iPhoto/Aperture libary easily opened again in Aperture but for the life of me I can not see a preference provision for previewing Aperture albums in anything other than iLife and iWork which was already enabled.
    Perhaps Apple is a bit slow in upgrading the detail in their latest Aperture version or are simply screwing people who favor syncing well chosen albums on their iPad in lieu of using iCloud which would require a lot of extra redundant effort to recreate favorite albums so much more easily created in iPhoto/Aperature.

    I was experiencing this exact same problem for days and none of the fixes I have found have worked for me, including the one listed here. Only un-installing Aperture allowed me to again sync my iPhoto albums individually again to my iPad2/iPhone4S. Even after re-generating the library for previews/thumbnails, as other posts have suggested to do in Aperture, I still could not see the option to select individual iPhoto Albums as it was greyed out in iTunes.
    So here is the simple and odd fix that has just worked for me. When iTunes tells you: "Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications." Do just the opposite. In Aperture Preferences under Preview, with the dropdown after Share Previews with iLife and iWork: select NEVER.
    Now if when you open iTunes again, and your option to select individual folders is still greyed out (as happened to me on occastion clearly) do this. Uncheck Sync Photos from iPhoto, select Keep Photos or not depending on what you want and then quit iTunes and DON'T APPLY changes. When you restart iTunes, you should now be able to select individual iPhoto albums.
    I realize this doesn't give you options with syncing Aperture Projects, but hey, hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

  • 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.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch not syncing music album info properly.

    It's more of a annoyance than anything but in iTunes the music album information is correct but on the iPod Touch it's not. For instance the album ChangesBowie by David Bowie shows it as such in iTunes. However on the Touch it shows the artists as "Various Artists". When I look at the info in iTunes it's correct on the Music listing for both the Library and iPod sections.
    How do I correct this? There's a half dozen or so like this. All of them were imported into iTunes from the CD's I own.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    If you look in iTunes, I bet you'll see the Album Artist is "Various Artists" (Album Artist is a separate field from Artist). If Album Artist is not displayed in your library, right-click on any of the column headers and select Album Artist. That will reveal what's in this field for each song.

    In iTunes, select all songs on the album then right-click and select "Get Info" (or simply press Ctrl-I). You'll see a window that shows the "tags" for the songs. There you'll see the Album Artist field underneath the Artist field. If Album Artist is not "David Bowie" then change it to David Bowie (or blank it out). Also, you should see an "Options" tab at the top edge of the window. Select that and you'll see the "Part of a Compilation" setting. If it is "Yes" then change it. You'll see this flag set to Yes incorrectly on several albums, mostly "Best Of" type albums which are not really Compilations but that's how they're tagged in the Gracenote CDDB database where iTunes gets its tag info.

  • 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

  • ITunes cannot sync iPhotos to the Apple TV

    An hour ago, my iMac had no problem syncing my photos from iPhoto to my TV. Now I just got this error message: "iTunes cannot sync iPhotos to the Apple TV 'Apple TV' because your iPhoto Library could not be found. Open iPhoto to create or update your iPhoto Library." I have not opened or done anything to iPhoto in between when my Apple TV could and could not sync my photos.
    Yes, opening iPhoto will fix the problem, but just temporarily. This problem has been occurring intermittently for a few weeks. Prior to that, my photos synched to my Apple TV without a problem.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Album artwork does not appear in album list or grid

    I added album artwork (did get info then copy and paste) and it shows up fine in cover flow but does not appear in album list or grid view.
    What am I doing wrong?  Artwork files were scanned from album covers that I have.

    Your album artwork cache may be corrupt. Provided most, if not all, of your artwork is embedded you can simply delete the Album Artwork folder that you will find inside your main iTunes folder and then scroll slowly through the library in Grid/Albums mode to rebuild it. Any images that were "downloaded" rather than embedded will need to be reacquired.
    Threre are separate folders for the downloaded and cached images, but I've always gone for a complete rebuild so I don't know it would work to delete just the cached folder.

    Can't be done with iTunes.  You can do it with the app PhotoSync.  It will transfer videos back to camera roll.

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

    Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
    I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
    These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
    But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
    Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
    iTunes version 9.0.1.8
    Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
    How do I get this to work?

    Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
    Any suggestions would be helpfull

  • ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

    I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
    Sync Music:
    Selected Playlists, artists, genres
    Music Videos - Not Checked
    Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
    I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
    This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

    iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
    You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
    however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
    It can be kind of confusing.
    I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
    The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
    1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
    Not supposed to do that.
    If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
    2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
    It is compatible.
    If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps
