My iphoto 09 wont sync pictures via tiunes

So about 2 months ago my Ipad and Iphone stoped taking photos from iphoto via sync through itunes.  all boxes are checked and all sofware are upgarded with the newsest all around.  i have deleated the ipod photo cache and the photos still wont show up.  itunes says 3900 photos and all the folders are there and boxes are checked.  it just wont move them to the pad or phone

  • IPHOTO 09 WONT SYNC SELECTED ALBUMS WITH IPHONE 4 VIA ITUNES

    I am posting this as a question and will proceed to answer it as per the solution provided by Applecare case id
    265819669
    System
    I run Powemac G5 OSX 10.5.8 Leopard, iLife 09 and iPhone 4 & iPad2
    Software versions are iPhoto 09 V 8.1.2, iTunes and iOS 5.01 on theiPad and iPhone
    Problem 1
    Following software updates on all my devices I began to run into sync problems with my iphone 4, namely error message 1104
    On contacting my mobile service provider they suggested:
    connect iphone to itunes, selected photo tab and untick the box sync photos from iphoto then proceed to sync
    Solution 1
    This allowed iphone 4 to sync thus eliminating my 1104 error message problem
    Problem 2
    iPhone 4 will no longer sync selected albums, events and faces with iPhone 4
    After level 3 escalation within Apple the problem was reffered to iphoto computer support who delievered this fix.
    It was identified as a problem with my iphoto library not being seen by itunes despite my iphoto library functioning normally (or so I thought).
    Solution 2 (I will try and articulate this as best as I can)
    Open iPhoto app whilst alt key is depressed
    select/ locate the iphoto library source file from your hard drive which itunes is using.  This now tells you where iphoto library resides ie this is your library in which all your photos slideshows and star rating data resides.
    FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIX IT WAS AGREED TO RESTORE AN EARLIER VERSION OF MY IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP - TIME MACHINE SAVED THE DAY HERE - TAKE HEED - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP.  BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKING UP AT THIS STAGE, JUST FOR SAFETY SAKE.
    Go to Time machine, locate iPhoto library and then select restore.
    The file will be restored to it's original location and you can now begin to work on the fix without jeopardising your original library
    Close iphoto, and reset system
    Open iPhoto with alt key depressed, select the recently restored file
    Open itunes and try and sync your iOS device
    Does the selected, albums and faces tabs in Photo tab now work? If so problem solved, if not read on.
    Restart system
    Open iPhoto with the alt and command key depressed
    (You will be working on the restored file as iphoto located this automatically when opening - see previous note)
    a list of boxes will appear detailing repair permission etc - ensure all are ticked and follow instruction to rebuild reorganise the iphoto library.  Sorry for being vague here but I can't remember the screen details.
    Let iphoto rebuild the iPhoto library file
    close iPhoto and restart system
    Try the sync process again in itunes.  Does the Photo tab option whick allows you to select pictures, albums and faces should now work?
    If so, problem solved, well almost.  If not, refer for further help.
    Given you have just cured the problem with a restored backup iPhoto library file, should you need to work on your most recent file since that back up, repeat solution 2 from the beggining.  Once complete, you will need to move the iPhoto library file which didn't sync to the trash. 
    Should you have events in your originl iPhoto library which don't reside in your backup file, export these events into folders by using export "current" feature in iPhoto, then drage them bag into your new library once your problem is solved.
    USE GREAT CAUTION HERE, DON'T DELTE YOUR TRASH UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY.
    I hope this helps someone, if so please let me know.

  • Itunes wont sync pictures from my phone to laptop

    I've read that some people are having this problem also but I have yet to find a solution so I'm begging desperately for help! When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop, it will sync everything but the photos and videos. I get error 54. Please help. I have a ton of photos and videos that are eating up all the gb on my phone.

    Hi mommyc33,
    You can import your pictures and videos directly into your photo application in Windows so that you have a back up of your images before you delete them from your iPhone.  Here's how:

  • My iPad 2 wont sync selected events from iPhoto via iTunes

    I have never had any issues with this until recently. My iPhoto library is too big and I didn't want all my photos on my iPad so I started using the Sync Photos from: iPhoto and checked the Selected albums, events and faces option. I have only selected from the 'events' window. All of them sync fine except for two events. One event has 376 photos in it but will only sync 6 that I duplicated and cropped. I have since deleted the duplicated photos and now the entire event wont sync. The other event has 435 photos in it but will only sync 16. I wondered if it was the formatting as a lot of them are 'raw' quality, but after going through other events that doesn't seem to be the case. I have plenty of room on my iPad so that is not the issues, I have also tried deleting all photos from my iPad and re-syncing everything, or just those two events, neither of which worked. I have read that you should delete the iPod Photo Cache, which I did but it didn't contain any photos anyway, is that because I tell it to sync straight from iPhoto and not from the 'choose folder' option?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Solution from riderworks on another thread worked. thanks a lot!

  • IPhoto library on SAMBA wont sync through iTunes

    Hi
    I have two macs at home, and I have want to keep a single iTunes and iPhoto library, therefore I utilize a SAMBA share on my Debian server. iTunes and iPhoto both works great on SAMBA however when I sync my iPhone or iPod, iPhoto albums wont show up in iTunes for selection. When I move the very same library to the local disk, it all starts to work. iPhoto otherwise sees all pictures and albums, but it wont show up in itunes.
    I tried to change permissions, but to no avail.
    Any suggestions are welcome,
    Thanks

  • What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

    What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
    Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

    KarinavD,
    what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
    The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

  • IPhoto remove all iCloud pictures and reload form iCloud when I opened via Aperture

    Hi,
    I have almost 100GB iCloud pictures & moves.
    When I open a Aperture library via iPhoto, every time iPhoto remove all iCloud pictures, and let me enable iCloud photo again.
    So I must still wait iPhoto finish download all iCloud pictures again.
    It looks iPhoto's iCloud is different than Aperture iCloud even it is same library.
    And enable iCloud picture in Aperture looks can't use iCloud information in iPhoto if you don't do re-enable in iPhoto,
    Final each re-enable will remove all iCloud picture & download all again in local PC cache.
    Is this I did something mistake?
    Thanks
    Peter

    Hi,
    I saw it looks be fixed via iPhoto update ver 9.6.1 today.
    Thank you.

  • I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto.  My iCloud email works ok otherwise.  I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

    In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
    Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

  • 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.

  • Syncing pictures from photo version 1

    On my MAC, iPhoto is no longer available and has changed to Photos.  I have been syncing my iPhone in iTunes with the option to sync pictures from iPhoto.  This apparently is no longer working.  I have selected the "Copy photos from:" to Photos, but no pictures are coming up to sync with.  What am I missing?

    You won't be able to copy them via iTunes or iPhoto - only photos copied via the camera connection kit or saved from websites/emails can be copied via iPhoto (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). I think the assumption is that if you've synced them from a computer then you've already got a copy of them.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 :
    +Pictures that have been synced from your computer to your device cannot be reimported back to your computer. Only pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos can be imported from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email them directly from the device to yourself and then copy them from the emails to your computer.+
    Depending on how many photos you're talking about, and whether you've got access to the computer where they came from, I don't know if there is an easier way of doing it other than emailing them.

  • I would like to use iPhoto to see existing Picture folder without importing

    The following is a question for Aperture, as well.
    I have a huge Picture file (90G), and I do not want iPhoto to import that Picture folder thereby making a duplicate. I only want one Picture file, the existing system folder called Pictures. And I want iPhoto to "reference" those files. I have seen references to setting up iPhoto (and Aperture) to use photos in outside libraries. I have seen them called "referenced"
    But I can't find a specific instruction on how to set up iPhoto to do this. And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now). And the iPhoto library is there too, but is now empty. I do not want it to be filled. The User guide says Aperture (and by inference, iPhoto) can "link" to outside photos and create "referenced" libraries.
    That is what I want to do, because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing. Not to mention the waste of disk space created by 2 libraries and the Pictures folder. And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
    Surely there is a better way, a way to have iPhoto (and Aperture) use the existing Picture folder in OSX (Snow Leopard).
    Can anyone help me here?
    Just tell me there is a way to do this, please.
    Hope someone can help.

    Your question is based on a false premise. It makes no sense to use iPhoto, Aperture and the Finder to manage the photos. The Finder isn't a photo manager. It's a file manager. If you can't grasp that distinction then you stick with the Finder. Both iPhoto and Aperture (and Lightroom, and Picasa) are Photo Managers. The entire point of these apps is to manage the photos without recourse to the files.
    If you use a Photo Manager then you don't use the Finder's Quicklook, you use the application's viewing and sharing features.
    Think of it this way: would you write your novel in Word, Pages, TextEdit and Nisus Writer at the same time? And also expect to be able to read it without launching your Word Processor?
    So, yes, this is crazy:
    And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now).
    Because you would not use all three options. iPhoto and Aperture do essentially the same job. If you've purchased Aperture then that's the one to use. It's the more powerful application.
    But regardless of which you choose, when you do you give up looking at the files in the Finder, you use the Photo Manager.
    , because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing.
    Both apps provide integration with Photoshop. Using Photoshop via the Finder and not via the app will cause you problems.
    None of these apps are like Photoshop. Photoshop is a layer based pixel editor. These other apps are Digital Asset Managers. It's not the same thing. Photoshop has no management capability at all.
    And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
    Now you need to do some reading on Photo Managers. All of them use a Non-Destructive workflow. All of them preserve your original photos, The concept of the "real one" makes no sense when you have many possible versions based on a single master file.
    You've not grasped the key distinctions in managing digital photos. You're confusing photos with files, confusing the file manager with a photo manager and have given no consideration to Digital Asset Management. I would consider these issues before going any further.
    FWIW: using a referenced Library with iPhoto:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Using iPhoto with Photoshop:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
