.Mac Gallery Sync causing Empty Events to Appear?

I have two computers I use to upload photos to Web Gallery via iPhoto to the same .Mac account (both have leopard and iPhoto 08). Each computer is set to check for new photos daily. In both iPhoto libraries I have seen these empty events pop up that show place holders for images, but no actual images. They claim to have a certain number of photos in them. The number matches up exactly to the size of a Gallery posted from the OTHER computer on the .Mac Gallery. What the heck are these?
Any way to fix this? Can I delete them without effecting the Published Gallery.

I'm wondering if having two computers maintaining galleries together is the problem - that seems like something that could well have not been tested
I've not tried what you are doing - since upgrading to 7.1.2 had not effect I'm out of ideas - maybe someone out these is using two systems with one .mac account

IPhone 4S - MacBook Pro sync causes multiplying events in iCal although no iCloud in use

Hey,
I read quite a few threads here as well as googled for my problem, but none of the solutions helped. Mainly the issue was that iCloud account was interfering with the sync between Mac and iPhone. However, I don't use iCloud. I just sync between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S. So this is happening (it started probably after updating to iOS 6.1 - before that everything was fine):
Usually syncing between my Macbook Pro and my iPhone 4S was flawless. If I made changes in my iCal on my iPhone I could see the new events on my Macbook Pro iCal as well (after the sync obviously) and the same vice versa.
However, after the update (I suppose) to iOS 6.1 all the changes that I made to my iCal on my iPhone didn't sync anymore to my iCal on my Macbook Pro. If I added a new event on my Macbook Pro iCal it was synced to my iPhone 4S - so far so good. However, if I make a change to an already existing event in my iCal on my MBP and then sync with my iPhone again it doesn't apply the change on my iPhone, but creates a new event.
So, in most cases I change the time of the event, but instead of syncing the new time a new event is created. The same goes if I change the location or name. The time stays the same, but a new event is created with the changed name and suddenly I have to events at the same time.
Meanwhile my iPhone iCal is devastated with events all over the place so that there's no use possible.
I checked all my settings in iTunes as well as on my iPhone, but can't find any setting wrong.
I'm using:
OSX 10.6.8
iOS 6.1.3
iCal 4.0.4
NO iCloud - only iTunes to sync directly via USB with my iPhone 4S
Need your help, please!
Thank you!
PS: I read those threads, but they weren't helpful since always iCloud issue:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check which accounts your calendars are in, only iCloud accounts will sync. (you can use the calendars button in the top left corner of iCal to see which calendars are in which accounts.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.

Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

Notes: Sync=Yes; where do these appear on my Mac?

Notes: iTunes Sync=Yes; where do these appear on my Mac? Can I read them from iTunes? The manual said something about the Mail app on Mac but I don't see any notes there (on the Mac).

There is no separate Notes App in OS X. Notes sync to your Mail App. On the left sidebar, click on the "Reminders" chevron to expand it, your notes should appear there.

Will Deletion of project & event impact movie already sent to .Mac Gallery?

Will Deletion of project & event impact movie already sent to .Mac Gallery? - I want to free up drive space on my MBP (120 just doesn't cut it!), and deleting my multiple projects and events will help immensely. FYI, I have saved all the media DV clips on my external for future use. So I already broadcast / sent medium sized movies to .Mac Gallery, and I assume that since the media files (assuming quicktime .mov) are already on the web gallery (in my iDisk?) that I can delete the iMovie assets without any impact. Is this true? What is a good workflow, given what I have described above?

WORKFLOW
1) import clips into iMovie 08
2) create movie and share the quicktime to my hard drive (for viewing, posting, whatever) ... and broadcast to .Mac Gallery
3) move video assets (DV files) to external hard drive for future use, posterity, whatever
4) delete projects and events in iMovie
5) Run import into Foottrack for a compressed version of the clips on my Laptop
Sounds good to me. Not that familiar with FootTrack as I use iTunes for management of the "portable" files (i.e., single file compressed for iPod, iPhone, TV, and/or web use).

Photos app not syncing with iTunes

I use iPhoto and want to know how to get the 'key photo' i select on my MacBook Pro to be the one that gets used on my iPhone when i sync them. Any ideas? also, i want the events to appear in the order i choose on my MacBook too

I use iPhoto and want to know how to get the 'key photo' i select on my McBook Pro to be the same one that gets used on my iPhone 5s when i sync. i also want the events to appear on the iPhone in the same order i have them on my macbook. any ideas there too?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

Why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show inmy computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

Hi,
can any one tell me why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show in my computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

Not simple enough. Please read the original concern.
The issue is not "getting music to the new machine" or "authorizing the new machine" or "transferring purchases from an idevice". The issue is that after doing all those things, even creating a backup using the new iTunes/Mac, syncing my device with the new library erases all the app data from the iPhone, as well as folder structure and page layout. Music is expendable in this situation as it's just a matter of moving the files around. (Which I did before I ever started this exercise.)
The problem is that everything from email accounts to folders are lost when I sync the device with a new computer. I tried this on my iPad first and spent a good deal of time re-arranging everything and getting all the data back. The pictures are just gone. Good thing I backed them up on the old PC.
It won't be as simple on my iPhone as I have a ton of stuff on it and can't afford to lose anything. Some of the data is gave saves and such, but other things are more important. And I don't want to lose those game saves either.

Unable to sync All Day events with a Nokia 61i phone in Mac OS X 10..4.10

When I sync events that are created in iCal with a Nokia 61i some events is OK other not. What can I do to get everything right?

First, please check as follows.
* Launch iSync.
* Click the icon of your phone.
* Check the calendar (category) you'd like to sync is checked.
* Click "option".
* Check "Sync all day event" is checked.
I can sync all day events by this way, but have trouble on my N73.
All day events are synced as "meeting" starting from 12:00am to 11:59pm.
In iCal, I have a lot of all day events including holidays, so the weekly view is full of black bars covering whole days.
Should it be synced as "notes"?

I hear this problem is partly solved on iSycn 3.0 in Leopard.

How can I stop Exchange calendar event copies appearing in drafts?

I use Outlook 2010 on a Windows machine at work. On my MacBook I use Outlook 2011 and have the Exchange calendar configured for iCal. Sync'ing works fine, except this one annoyance.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion copies of existing, repeating calendar events keep appearing in my Outlook drafts folder. Every few days I have to empty it, sometimes from 50 event copies or more.

I too, was experiencing this. There seems to be no indication of a solution anywhere on the web. HOWEVER, I figured it out.
Here's the solution: Strangely, it's not really an exchange issue, but rather an issue with calendaring on the OSX side.
So you understand, here's the configuration that can cause problems:
you are using an exchange server to connect your email/calendar/notes/tasks...
You use a PC (or VM PC) for some/most of your exchange/outlook activities
You may or may not have MS Office 2011 (Mac) installed.
You have one or more Apple devices connected to your exchange account (iPhone, iPad, any Mac)
After installing Mountain lion, you start noticing events being magically duplicated every few minutes in your outlook draft folder. If you delete an event, another one takes its place.
HERE IS THE FIX:
Short answer: Sync all calendars on all devices
On the apple side (OSX, IOS) you MUST turn on calendar sync in all the exchange accounts on all your devices. I thought I had, then discovered that my MS Office Outlook on my Mac was missing that sync. It doesn't seem to matter which apple device is missing the sync, it only takes one of them. Once you set calendar sync to "on" for all the apple devices that access that calendar, just like magic, the phantom multi event creation stops.
You should check all MS products on the OSX/IOS devices AND all apple devices that allow syncing. I haven't turned on notes sync through the cloud, so that isn't one of the items that cause problems.
If you do this and the multi still appears, you missed something on one of your apple devices.
Sweet!

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

How do I get new events to appear in Photo on my iPad?

I have been uploading photos to my iPhoto on my Mac and these are gradually appearing in my photostream on both my Mac and on my iPad. In iPhoto they are all arranged into Events but no new events are being created on my iPad, I'm just getting the photos gradually appearing through Photostream. Having said that, I'm not so sure that the most recent photos from the past week or so are even being uploaded into Photostream unless this takes days to do.
Both are on Wifi, Everything is turned on for iCloud on both devices and both are using the same account. If I look at the Photostream page in iPhoto it says "Uploading 70 photos to Photostream" at the top but it's said this for ages and doesn't seem to change.
Can anyone help me please?

I have this same problem. On the photo tab I used to have it checked for everything to sync. But it gets stuck on syncing the photos and doesnt complete. The events on my Mac stopped syncing to other devices as soon as I got a new ipad air. The events that were on iphoto at that time are the last to show on all other devices. When I am in photo tab i cant even select the events that havent synced because they are showing as a choice. But they are an event in iphoto on the Mac. Frustrated.

How do I delete a recurring event that appears on my iPhone's calendar, but not on my computers or iCloud?

I can click on the event in the iPhone's calendar, but the "Edit" option and "Delete" option are unavailable. The event does not appear on any other device or in iCloud. Am I destined to see this recurring event forever and ever? Is it an unkillable zombie that will shamble through the corridors of my electronic life in perpetuity?

Okay. Awesome! I feel like such a dodo that was so freaking simple!
Now I have another simple person question that feels stupid too but oh well apparently my brain doesn't like to work at 5 a.m. when I am in bad pain but...
Okay, so I've deleted them from my phone manually, they are already ALL on my mac, when I plug my phone back into my mac to sync music and any New photos, will the old photos that I deleted that are on the mac, go back on the phone? Der. I feel like I already know the answer, but I'm asking anyways...
Please, thank you, and sorry in advance!

IPhoto randomly deleting photos, leaving empty events behind.

Hi. My iPhoto will randomly delete photos from entire events, leaving behind only an empty event. What is happening? Are the photos still on my computer somewhere? How do I make is stop?
I have read it could be a corrupt library? Is that possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Super! Thanks for the guidline for providing better detail.
I'm running iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2)
-on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4
- There doesn't seem to be a trend to what photos are deleted and when. It has started within the past 5-6 months. All I observe is when I open my iPhoto, on occasion there will be an empty event. It never deletes partial events and it never deletes the event itself (that I have noticed) There are absolutley no other problems with iPhoto itself. It speaks to my iPhone and iPad just fine, iCloud syncs the Photo Stream well. I am fairly certain that the only photos deleted came from my iPhone. (I have an iPhone 5)
In addition to deleting photos, it seems that iPhoto is misplacing events. For example, I have an event with only 3 photos in it taken on 12 April. It has been moved to the top of the list of events for no apparent reason.
- I can't say how long this has been going on. Maybe 5-6 months tops. I did move to Indonesia from America in that time. I can't imagine that would do anything. Before I left, I replaced my hard drive (upgraded to 1TB from 500GB). I restored off of the old hard drive with no problem. I also got more memory installed so I'm running with 8GB instead of 4GB. I have not installed anything or made any other noticeable changes since the problem began. Although replacing a hard drive is no small thing...
- I have tried to reveal the photos in Finder to see if the original files are still in the source library. They are not. The organization now skips a number where my photos ought to be. Other than that I'm not sure how to fix it. I don't really have a backup from which I can restore.
- There is nothing unusual about the setup, it's a standard Mac OS and I only use iPhoto with my iPhone and iPad.
I hope that helps give some information?
