Made an album on my phone, when synced it disappeared...

My wife spent hours making a 'favorites' album on her iPhone from all the (900) pics on there that she hadn't synced yet to iPhoto. Then she synced to iPhoto and all the pictures were emptied from this album and this new album did not show up in iPhoto.
iOS 5 (iPhone 4), iPhoto '09
I know that ideally, you should make an album in iPhoto and then choose to sync to it in iTunes. But I wasn't there to tell her that and she found her own way.
Is there any way to rediscover which pictures were selected for this album? I hoped to see it in the list of albums to sync to, but it's not there. The only thing is the 'favorites' album on the iPhone (not showing in iTunes OR in iPhoto).
Thanks for any help!

No, which is why the album can't be preserved on syncing. It's a virtual album based on preexisting metadata on the photos.
Even if there were metadata tags, how would you view them, and why would that be more useful than looking a the photos themselves, since you (or your wife) selected them for that album? How would you reassemble a physical album of prints?

I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures. How do I fix this?

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

To transfer purchases from device to computer:
Connect device, syncing is not necessary.
Select File > Transfer purchases.
If you have never synced with this computer or the device is synced to another computer, you will NOT be able to sync with this computer without replacing the library.

How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
- Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
Best iPod to PC
- After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.

Same file copying up to 20x throughout songs, albums artists and genres, when syncing itunes to ipod. Restored ipod classic 3 times in lastest itunes with a new user but no difference. Anyone had this happening?

Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Songs Lost From Phone When Syncing

I recently purchased 18 songs directly from my iPhone. I tried to transfer these songs to my computer but they were no longer on my phone. They just disappeared.
I've checked the FAQ's for lost songs and tried all the suggestions, but nothing has solved my problem.
I have also received and paid the bill for all the missing songs.

Here is what happened:
My computer refused to let me buy the Beatle Boxed set for reason unknown as i usualy do not have any problem paying for anything on itunes, i supposed it was related to the heavy traffic apple was experiencing at this time of year. A few hours later while having my iPad at hand i decided to try again, this time successfully, the songs (200+) downloaded alright. I was able to play any of them the following day. Then i decided to transfer them back to the computer using the transfer my purchase menu.
I realised almost immediately something was wrong as iTunes reported only 105 songs being transfered. Afterwards the iPad synched which resulted in the files being deleted from the device. I checked both the library and harddrive, the files are really missing there is nothing.
I checked the tranfer purchase several times to no avail. So far the song are considered MIA...
As far as i know the song disapeared after the billing, since there was a day between the time i bought it on the iPad and the time i transfered them on the computer.
I contacted iTunes i hope to be able to download again the whole thing.

(custom-made) Calendar not showing on phone after syncing

this week i created an new calendar in iCal (by the Name of 'Wijster') which i use to publish on my dotmac account.
That works fine.
But when i try to sync iCal with my phone(Nokia through iSync) both standard calendars (Work & Home) do sync perfectly and show up in my phone-calendar, but the events from the newly made Wijster calendar do not.
- in iSync i have reset my sync history
- in iSync a have also reset all my devices
Both did not solve the problem
Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong here?
Thanks...

I have done all the steps in the FAQ thread and it is still not syncing?
Thank you for the thread Jason L I appreciate it although it didn't help me I am sure it will help others.
Is there anyone out there who can help me with my dilemma?

Album song order changes when synced to i-pod

On I-tunes the songs in the albums are in the correct playback order but when I sync it to my i-pod the some of the songs are in the wrong order. Everything looks ok when I look at the "get info" section. Any ideas?

looks like I figured out something that worked for me. In itunes I selected a playlist on my ipod, inside that playlist I selected an entire album by shift clicking the first and last song. In this example I'll use "album x" which has always been out of order on my ipod...after I selected the entire album I chose "get info" when the window pops up I saw that the "album artist" box was empty but the "artist" box wasn't. I just typed the same thing that was in the "artist" box into the "album artist" box and hit ok...after a quick resync "album x" which has always been out of order is now all of a sudden in order...and it has worked for multiple albums on my ipod, especially the sound tracks, give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
Thanks

Exchange Active Sync loses email address, phone when sync contacts

I have a Treo 680 running Palm OS Garnet 5.4.9 and Versamail 3.5.2 Software version TREO680-1.03-CNG. We just implemented Exchange 2007 and the phone syncs great for the email and calendar. But, contacts are flaky. If I add an email address to a contact on the Exchange side, it never comes to the device. Instead, the email gets deleted on the Exchange side. If I add it on the Treo side, the contact updates. It appears that the contact is a one way sync and the Palm always wins! Email and Calendar are syncing both ways?? I am syncing the tasks via the USB and that works fine as well, Any ideas why Contacts seems to be one sided???
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

The Contacts should sync both ways, your case might be contact database issue.
if you decide to fix it do these steps:
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. Export your data as a .CSV fie by:
a. click file in outlook
b. click import and export
c. export to a file
d. comma separated values (windows)
e. highlight your main contacts then hit next
f. hit browse and locate a directory to save your file then hit next
g. hit map custom fields, then hit default map, hit OK then, hit finish.
After exporting Delete all your contacts, If your not comfortable with that copy all your contacts to another folder. But make sure you empty out your Contacts folder.
On the Phone side you need to delete your email (EAS) account, so that it will also clean out your contacts. (double check if contacts are deleted, if not, a hardreset must be done)
Bottom Line. Both Outlook and Phone Contacts must be cleared out. before proceeding.
When contacts on the phone are gone, set up your email (EAS) again (at this point no contacts should exist on the device and outlook)
After sync and emails and calendar are transferred, try putting a dummy data both on the phone and outlook contacts, Sync twice then check if data transferred on both places.
(there is no reason for it not to)
If data in contacts are syncing Import back the contacts to outlook by:
a. click file in outlook
b. click import and export
c. Import from another program or file
d. comma separated values (windows)
e. Hit browse then locate where the file was exported, highlight then hit OK
f. Leave it in "Allow Duplicates" then hit next
g. Highlight your main contacts then hit next.
This should import back all you data, after thats done try to do another Sync..
goodluck

Ipad loses album artwork for purchases when syncing with iTunes?

I have the latest software upto date for iTunes and my ipad.
I usually purchase music directly from the iTunes app on my ipad as I find this a lot more convenient, however every so often I need to connect my ipad to my dell laptop to transfer non-iTunes songs.
When I do so my ipad will always sync with my iTunes and when it does it comes up with a stage saying "copying album artwork", when this happens all my artwork from my most recent purchases on my ipad is deleted.
The only way I have of rectifying the issue is to delete all the songs with missing album artwork and re-download them which is a lot of hassle. I'd say the problem happens almost every time I connect my ipad to the laptop.
Does anyone know why this is or if there's anyway I can turn of this part of the syncing process. Or if I can just turn of the sync and back up all together, I much preferred it when all this was manual on old iPod classics and that.
Thanks

Hey, I was having this problem, too. The solution I've found is to go ahead and plug your iPad (this works with iPhones and iPod touches, too, I think) into your computer and check "Manually Manage Music and Videos." Then you want to click the "On this iPad" tab and scroll to the albums that are missing album artwork. Delete these manually and sync. Then you can uncheck "Manually Manage Music and Videos," check to sync music in the "Music" tab, and apply. After the sync your newest albums that you've downloaded directly on your iPad should be back in your library in the Music app with their album artwork displaying correctly.
Not sure what causes this, but it seems to almost always happen to me when I use iTunes on my iPad or iPhone to buy things. Sometimes it also happens to items I've purchased from iTunes on my computer as well and that have automatically downloaded to my iOS devices.
Hope this helps.

HT201407 I administer 50 phones. Looking for best practices concerning iCloud. This program and my users have made it difficult to reuse phones when persons are terminated.

Several times I have had to chase after terminated employees for iCloud accounts and passwords. It has been a nightmare. How do I remove iCloud accounts from company devices, or better yet, prevent users from creating personal icloud accounts? What are the 'best practices' concerning the use of iCloud?

HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.
