Itunes with iphoto event problem

Hi. i really need help here. I have the same problem with my ipad & iphone so it's either a problem with itunes or iphoto. everything looks great in iphoto but when i open itunes and go to the photo tab it all looks mad. My events have been duplicated several times !! eg.. i've got a wedding event with 200 pic in. Now it looks like wedding ( 2 pics ) school wedding (5) wedding (2) etc etc.. I've tried to delete the cache but it still looks like this.. How do i delete the events in itunes and start again ? is this a bug? Darren

Looks like I am not alone.
I thought I had it fixed for a moment, I trashed the com.apple.iPod.plist & tried other advice I have found here but after a sync to an iPod the problem came back. Sync'ing an iPad was fair but two iPhones (3GS & 4) saw the same problem arise so I tried the iPad again and the problem haunted me yet again.
I noticed this happen since the last iTunes update 10.2.2.
Somewhere here I noticed if you re-sort your iPhoto events it helps only once, any further sync'ing has no effect - the problem persists. The issue seems to worsen, events cannot be selected under the Photos tab in iTunes for any device. When I managed to get the Pad to sync a few events I noticed the sort order was completely random, I should have left well enough alone (at least they were showing) but try as I did to get a sensible order failed completely when I sync'd the pad a second time.
Temporarily I have created Albums in iPhoto to maintain some images on my phone, pod & pad. They seem to function as best they can but the steps iTunes requires to optimize and sync several thousand photos makes this a VERY long process.

ITunes tears iPhoto events apart

iTunes will tear iPhoto events apart which have been worked over lately in iPhoto, i.e. I do have dozens of events with the same name with the fotos spread all over these split events in iTunes -> Photos -> Events. iTunes will sync them just this strange way with iPad and iPhone. Same problem on other system in the family, completely independent from my system..
iPhoto appears to behave normally.
Latest versions of iPhoto 11 (9.1.2), iTunes 10 (10.2.2), iOS and MacOS X 10.6.7.
iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.3
Original iPhone with iOS 3.1.3

Having same issues. Everything is up to date on my end. This is frustrating.

IMovie iPhoto video events not in sync with iPhoto Events

iMovie iPhoto events is not the same as my iPhoto events. I have recently amended a few events in iPhoto and to which I am satisfied with. However, iMovie is still showing the old events. For example (EVENT Holiday would contain two holidays originally - so I split this in iPhoto and that is displaying well. iMovie is still showing the old event with both holidays).
I've tried rebuilding iPhoto - all four options - and deleted the iMovie plist (think that is what you call it) but to no good conclusion. Please help?

The basic problem you are facing is the use of the internal camera. It is designed for simple web cam usage rather than movie making. If you are making a Face Time call, the variable frame rate helps you, because when there is not a lot of movement, it will slow down the frames and give you better performance at a lower bandwidth. If the audio is a little off you do not care.
Long term, you can solve this by using a camcorder that shoots at a constant framerate.
For your immediate problem, I think that the suggestion to use MPEG Streamclip was a good one.
Basically, you would be dragging in this file with the variable frame rate and using MPEG Streamclip to save it out as a file with a constant framerate. You should now have a file at 30 fps with audio to match, within reason.
Try dragging your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Click the PLAY button so you can see that it plays. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the sound setting as Uncompressed. In the Frame Rate box, type 30. Click the check box for Frame Blending. Deselect the box that says Interlaced Scaling.
Finally, click the MAKE MOVIE button, and give at a name. Save it to a location where you can find it. You can then import this into iMovie if you want, but using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE in iMovie.

Itunes with iphoto slideshow

Having produced a slideshow with iphoto I am trying to set a song with the slideshow. I click 'music' and the itunes folder shows up but I can only select from a playlist rather than the library of individual songs. I know that I could do this in the past but can't figure out how I did it. I have Iphoto 6.06 and itunes 7.32

You can easily create a slide show with music of your choice using the freeware Mike's Thumbnailer @ http://homepage.mac.com/mdewalt/iWeb/Site/Thumb-Applications.html

Help needed with Image Events problem

Hi there I'm writing what I thought was a simple script to convert a folder full of images from jpg to tiff. But the script fails when trying to convert the first image in the folder. Instead of converting the image, Preview opens with the image shown and I get this error message: error "The variable ImageRef is not defined." number -2753 from "ImageRef".
I have seen some posts about other people having the same problem, but I haven't seen any solutions.
Here's the script.
on run
tell application "Finder"
set PicturesFolder to ((path to home folder) as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam" as alias
set Photographs to (get entire contents of PicturesFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Image Events"
launch
repeat with Photo in Photographs
if (Photo as string) ends with "jpg" then
set ImageRef to open Photo
save ImageRef in Photographs as TIFF
close ImageRef
end if
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
repeat with Photo in Photographs
delete Photo
end repeat
end tell
end run
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Hello
You may try something like the modified code below.
Noticiable changes :
#1 - Removed the parentheses. Your original code won't yield alias list but a list of finder objects, which is the reason why Preview opens the image. (The statment 'open finderObject' behaves the same as double clicking it in Finder)
#2 - Only delete the original jpeg files which are converted to tiff.
#3 - Build new path for converted image.
#4 - Save in new path. (When saving image in a format other than its original format, always save the image to a new file and do not attempt to overwrite the source file.)
cf.
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/imageevents/08.html
on run
tell application "Finder"
set PicturesFolder to (path to home folder as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam:" as alias
set Photographs to get entire contents of PicturesFolder as alias list -- #1
end tell
set DonePhotos to {} -- #2
tell application "Image Events"
launch
repeat with Photo in Photographs
set Photo to Photo's contents
set oldPath to Photo as string
if oldPath ends with ".jpg" then
set newPath to oldPath's text 1 thru -5 & ".tif" -- #3
set ImageRef to open Photo
save ImageRef as TIFF in newPath -- #4
close ImageRef
set end of DonePhotos to Photo -- #2
end if
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
delete DonePhotos -- #2
end tell
end run
Hope this may help,

HT1711 iTunes with iphone 4 problems

My iTunes sync my pictures and apps, but doesn't sync music to my iPhone

Hello Jordybwoie,
I've found a couple of articles that may be useful for you:
iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
If the music has been purchased from the iTunes store, you may be able to download the music directly to your device as a workaround:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Also, this process can be set automated in order to automatically download any future purchases to your iPhone.

My iPad2 cannot synchronize with iPhoto on my Mac, error message "...cannot synchronize. File not found"

Have upgraded my iPad to an iPad 2. When synchronizing with my iPhoto Library (8500 photos) on my MacBook I get an error message saying "...cannot synchronize. File not found" (transalted from swedish). It works well with my iPad. I restored the iPad2 tand began from scratch but the problem reocurred.

i have similar problem too. it seems the problem is from iphoto 08.
i have two ipad 2-
ipad A:
new ipad with new sync with 6 photo album with iphoto, error occurred.
restored iOS to 4.3.3, problem still exist.
ipad B:
synced 6 photo album with iphoto no problem for a long time.
tried to de-select album 1 and synced, no problem...
then re-select album 1 and synced, error message occurred.
my solution:
copy album 1's photo to desktop, then copy the desktop photo back to iphoto album folder...after that, i can sync back album 1 to my ipad.
i have no idea why iphoto has such problem on some of my photo albums =(
Do anyone have a more clever solution?

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

How to solve issue with strange iphoto events shown in itunes for sync IOS devices ? This issue is very old and not been fixed by apple... terrible

all softwares latest version january 2013.
I see in itunes many strange crazy iphoto events that in iphoto do not exist.
These vents are named as data and contains just few photos.
each event can be sync with IOS devices, but that event is not in iphoto !
It looks like miniatures... no way to solve this issue making all possible maintenance in iphoto library.
THis issue is very old, very terrible, people start to have doubts about iphoto as a reliable software.
Need a fix asap.
Apple please help!
I were with 2 hours at genius bar but nothing.
Genius told me apple have been informed and they are working on a solution..... this 4 months ago !!!
Need solution asap
THanks
Fabio

Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

ITunes sync with iPhoto Problem

Hi everybody,
i'm experiencing a tedious issue with iTunes and the iPhoto syncronization with i-devices.
I'm running iTunes 10.4 , iPhoto 9.1.5 and i have an iPhone 4 and an iPad both running iOS 4.3.5.
When i sync my iPhone with iTunes i usually chose only 3 separated iPhoto events and no problems occurs in copying the photos on the device.
When i sync my iPad instead i get the following problem:
the same as with the iPhone i choose a limited number of iPhoto events to sync with the iPad but the photos count shown in the iTunes screen is a lot different then the real number of the photos in the iPhoto events. To be clear:
Event 1 contains 300 photos in iPhoto
In the syncing screen of iTunes for the iPad Event 1 contains only 3 photo.
As a result only 3 photo are transferred to the iPad.
I tried to repair and rebuild the iPhoto library (alt+cmd+start iphoto) selecting all the options except the rebuild database from backup option. Nothing changed.
I tried to reset iphoto syncing with the iPad doing as follow:
connect iPad
select "don'y sync photos"
choose "Erase all photo from the Device"
disconnect
Reboot both devices
reconnect iPad
choose sync again.
Nothing changed again
At last i tried to erase the content of the "ipod photo cache" folder as suggested in other threads in this forums but when i reconnected the iPad and tried to resync nothing changed.
Beaside that i tried even to control and repair permissions on the entire HD with Disc Utility but again i had no differences with the problem.
Does anybody experienced the same problem? There is any known solution? Anything else i could try?
Thanks everybody in advance for any support given.
Giuliano.

I am having a similar issue. My iPhone 4, my wife's iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2 will start to sync with iTunes on my MacBook (running Lion) and when it begins to import photos from iPhoto, I get a (-50) error and the sync quits. Some events sync just fine but others trigger the error message.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Cache, reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled iPhoto, repaired and rebuilt my iPhoto library, restored my iPhone to factory settings, repaired permissions on my MacBook and anything else I could think of or found in previous postings. Nothing has worked.
Please help! This is incredibly frustrating and no one at Apple has been able to help. Thank you!

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

     Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
     Thnks!
     Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

Hello all,
I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
I tried doing the following:
Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.
