Movies in iPhoto won't sync

Over the years I have imported into iPhoto quite a few video clips shot on a variety of cameras and phones. Once in a while I'd load one that wasn't properly formatted to play on my iPhone 4 or 1st gen iPad, but a quick trip thru Handbrake solved most of those issues. Suddenly last night one set of clips taken during a visit to Park City Utah began to misbehave and actually blocked 136 new photos after them in the library from being synced to/from my iPad.
I've unchecked that particular event in the photo section of my iPhone in iTunes, but now two more clips have refused to sync, although they didn't block anything after them in the library. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this or a similar problem. I just ported over to Lion (profile info is obsolete) and ICloud this past week, but didn't have any syncing problems until several days later. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ideas? . . . . Anyone?

IPhoto Won't Sync

iPhoto won't sync my edited photos. I checked in iTunes to sync ALl photos albums events and faces. I open iPhoto and it's there but when I open my iPod, it's not there; only the original.

IPhoto won't sync with new iPad mini

I purchased a new iPad mini. When I sync it with my desktop, iPhoto does not sync, when I press photo tab I just see s whirling beach ball and no albums to select to sync on iPad

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Videos in iPhoto won't sync to phone.

When i take a video with my iPhone 3gs and upload it to iphoto, it won't show up in my phone when i sync it through iTunes even though the check box to include videos is selected. Help! this is very frustrating. I am using iTunes 9, iPhoto 5.0.4 running on a powerbook G4 and i have an iPhone 3gs. I've tried restoring my phone, deleting the photos from my phone and re-syncing, no luck. Am i doing something wrong? is there a setting i'm not enabling?

All videos are synced from itunes to the ipod app. Videos you take with your phone are imported to iphoto, from there you import into itunes, convert to iphone/ipod version and sync back to your phone. Or, you could just leave them in your camera roll.

ITunes and iPhoto won't sync or upload photos from my iPod

I have photos in my 1st generation iPod that I would like to remove and place on my computer.
When I hook up the iPod to my mini mac and open iPhoto, I am unable to import the images into the library. It won't allow me to choose the Photos Database file or the two .ithmbs files in the Photos folder.
When I tried to sync the iPod, it tells me that the existing images on my computer will override and delete the existing photos in the iPod.
How can I convert the .ithmb files to .jpg and remove them from the iPod?
All the forum info and converters I find online are for Windows and I don't see anyone having this issue on a Mac.
Any advice would be helpful since I need to return this iPod to Apple soon due to the 1st gen iPod Nano battery recall.
Thanks,
Blue

>All the forum info and converters I find online are for Windows and I don't see anyone having this issue on a Mac.
If all existing converters are for Windows why don't you copy your ITHMB files to Windows and use the converters?

IPhoto won't sync...correctly?! Any thoughts?

I selected three folders today from my iPhoto library which I wanted to sync with my iPhone. However, after the sync. noticed that only one of the folders brought the pictures within it over to the phone. I then created another folder to test, transferred five pictures into it, but only one showed up during the sync. As a matter of fact, of my twenty folders in my iPhoto...all with pictures....only three of the folders acknowledge having any photos in them within the iTunes library. Any suggestions...because that is just plain weird??!!

Purchased Movie on iTunes won't sync to Apple TV (Gen 1)

I recently purchased (via a code from the BluRay box) Thor: The Dark World. It plays fine on my Apple TV (without the Harddrive), but when I try to get it to sync to my original ATV (with a Harddrive) it will not sync. Other movies work fine. I've tried deleting it from iTunes and then re-downloading, but it still will not sync. I can check the box for it to sync, but when I hit sync, I see it briefly state that it is syncing, then nothing happens and it is not on my ATV. Any ideas on how to get this to sync?

maybe it's because the movie is in 1080P and the 1g appletv don't support that
if possible try converting it to 720P using handbrake (free converter tool)

IPhoto Won't Sync With iPhone 4

Hi
I'm rebuilding my iTunes after it had been deleted. I've connected my iPhone 4, then select my iPhone 4 from the left hand side on iTunes. Under Photos I've selected to Sync Photos from iPhoto. Only one photo gets sync'd, a wallpaper I'd saved the other day. It wont sync all the other photos in iPhoto. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Baz

I am having the same problem. I have had my iPhone 4 since June, and had no problem syncing all my iPhoto pictures before. I noticed this past weekend, when I went to show someone a photo, that the only pictures on my iPhone were ones I had taken with the iPhone. When I went back to sync, all the settings were correct (and in fact, the sync too a long time as iTunes told me it was importing all 3800 of my photos). But they still are not viewable on the iPhone. Interestingly, via iTunes it is reported that I have 7 GB of photos on my phone - but cannot find them.

Movie in iPhoto won't upload to mobileme gallery

I am trying to upload a short video to my mobileme gallery imported from my digital camera to iPhoto. I have several others that I have posted using iPhoto 08. Every time I try to do it, it starts the process, shows the video with pending underneath it, you see it listed on the sidebar with the spinning arrow, then iPhoto just quits. When I relaunch iPhoto it shows up on the left under mobileme gallery but if you click on it nothing is there. When I go to my web gallery and log in, same thing. There is a place for it, but when you click on the video nothing happens, there is really nothing there.
What I have since done is bring the video into iMovie and share to my mobileme gallery and it works perfectly.
I really should be able to do it straight from iPhoto, as I have always done it that way before.
Anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Some of my movies in iPhoto say a necessary data reference is missing. What is that? We upgraded to Lion, so is that the problem? I saw that I need Quick Time 7 - but I think I have 10

Some of my movies in iPhoto won't play. It says a necessary data file is missing! What is that?

Won't sync purchased movies?

My ipod classic has movies and t.v show options on the main menu, in iTunes too, but iTunes won't sync videos to my ipod. I had movies I bought in iTunes which worked fine on my old nano, but an error shows up saying "____ was not copied onto the ipod "Ashleigh's Ipod" because it cannot be played on this Ipod."
Also, movies/pictures/video is not an option on my capacity chart, it just had audio, other, and free, but I don't know if that's new and doesn't include a color code for movies because I have none on my ipod.

And I messed around and downloaded a free podcast from the iTunes store to see if THAT would work and the error message says "____ was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod 'Ashleigh's Ipod'".

Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2, now it won't sync with iphoto 9.4.3

Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2 (from some version of iOS 6), now it won't sync with iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MacBook pro (running OS 10.8.5). I plug it in and iPhoto recognizes the iPhone but only displays a 'Loading..." message next to the 'New Photos' page.
Tried it also on my older Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.2.3 and same problem.
Any ideas? Already tried rebooting both devices.

I have same problem but with iPhoto 9.5.1

Some video podcasts won't sync after using iPod to move music to new comput

Hi -
I used my iPod to move my music (and podcasts) to a new computer (from a PC laptop to a Mac Pro). Now when I try to resync it (on either computer) some video podcasts are not synched from iTunes to the iPod. In some cases, all podcasts from the same subscription fail to sync; in other cases, some podcasts synch and others from the same subscription don't. All of the podcasts that fail to synch are video podcasts.

yeah i'm having the exact same problem so thought i'd up this rather than start a new thread. for me, one particular video subscription won't sync at all, and another is fine apart from three videos. particularly annoying as it took an absolute age to actually download them, and now they won't sync.
anyone got any bright ideas?

IPhoto won't import .mov video from iPhone

I just got my wife a new Mac mini. It is running the latest versions of Mountain Lion and iPhoto.
She's recorded some short videos of the kids with her iPhone (4s), and wants to organize these in iPhoto alongside pictures of the kids (she's done this before).
However, since getting her new computer, when she tried to import the videos, she got an error message that said the files were an unrecognized format.
We were able to retrieve the videos and copy them to her hard drive using Image Capture; however, she would still like to import them to iPhoto.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

There are many, many posts of this nature in these forums. See, for example:
iphoto won’t import mov video
For many, rebuilding the XPC helper cache solves the problem off the bat. In terminal try this, and reboot:
sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
The above posted by Andy Ball on a thread related to a similar problem with Aperture:
Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion
Other things to try:
1. create a fresh iPhoto library and try that. (hold down opt while launching iPhoto)
2. create a new OS X user (in system preferences) and try there.
In my case – and many cases – neither of those things work either, which means the problem is system wide. Again suggesting that the xpc helper solution might work. But for me it did not either.
There are other suggestions that there are conflicts with Perian (on Yosemite) and flip4mac. In my case uninstalling both of those didn't solve it either.
So maybe one of those solutions will work for you, results apparently vary. But this is a huge unresolved issue many others are having as well. I have a case with a senior apple advisor open, still unresolved. His suggestion of course, at this point, is an archive and re-install. I'm not ready to go there yet.
BTW, another thing he had me try was to import the file with Image Capture (which works). Then open it in QuickTime Player X. Then try exporting to 480p. Does QuickTime crash? It does for me.
My summary:
1. Files successfully import with Image Player.
2. Files play with QuickTime Player X.
3. QuickTime Player X crashes when exporting to 480p.
4. Files import with iMove.
5. Files fail to import with iPhoto (unrecognized format as with OP)
6. iPhoto import failure/errors are system wide and not specific to a library or a user.
7. rebuilding xpchelper cache and rebooting in my case does not resolve issue.
8. same videos import fine in iPhoto on a totally different system (laptop running same versions of OS X 10.10 and iPhoto 9.5.1)
