None of my iPhoto Albums appear in iTunes for syncing with my iPhone

I have dozens of Albums in iPhoto. When I open iTunes to sync with my iPhone, NONE of my iPhoto albums (none of my Aperture albums, for that matter) are present. I cannot figure out why not, nor do I see any discussions of this problem. HELP!!!!

moabCowboy,
Is there a particular reason you are using an alias to repoint the iPhoto Library, instead of telling iPhoto to look directly to the library on the other drive?
If not, you can tell iPhoto to look at the iPhoto Library on the other drive directly by holding down the option key when you launch iPhoto.
The iPhone does require iPhoto 4.0.3 to sync photos from iPhoto to the iPhone.
If still not showing up to sync photos over, this article has additional troubleshooting steps for when iPhoto apps don't show up in iLife applications:

Hope this helps,

  • Why don't all iPhoto albums appear in iTunes so I can download them to ipad

    Why don't my iPhoto albums appear in iTunes not all of them and not complete so I can download them to iPad or iPhone.  Only some of them transfer over to iTunes.

    After a good hour, finally sorted it out thanks to this
    Q: When I first had iTunes move my ebooks to the new iBooks app in Mavericks, many of my books didn’t get transferred. How can I get these books back? Are they lost forever?
    There was a bug in the first version of the iBooks app that prevented it from moving all the books in the iTunes library to the new app. In my library, only two books didn’t get moved, but I’ve heard from people who lost dozens or even hundreds of books.
    These books should still be on your computer. If you haven’t done so, open the App Store app, click Updates, and download the iBooks 1.0.1 update. Launch iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes. This should move the remaining books to iBooks.

    my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • Is there a way to see what files iTunes just synced with my iPhone?

    OK, I've been working with my music files trying to find some sort of work-around to iTunes not updating or deleting my lyrics on my iPhone.  I been working on one music file at a time.  I'll make a change of some sort, then have iTunes "Sync" to my iPhone which is connected directly  to the laptop.
    I've only updated ONE file, but I see iTunes syncing many files.  The first time I can see why, but I'm doing my syncing mere minutes apart, so after the first sync, I would think the only thing to be "synced" would be the one music file I just changed, but I keep seeing others.
    The problem is, the list of files being synced goes by too fast to read.
    Is there a way in iTunes to see a list of what files it just synced with my iPhone?
    I'm using iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 Home Premium system.

    What exactly does the Library item contain?
    Have you thought of changing the Library item to a Server Side Include instead?
    Takes all the tedium out of updating by letting the server do the mundane work for you.
    Create one text file (containing the current Library item code), add a single include statement in all website pages to include the text file. Upload. The entire website is then up-to-date.
    To update all affected pages in future, you merely edit the one small text file (the Include), upload and you're done.

  • ITunes wont sync with my iPhone anymore

    I'm not sure what happened, but iTunes won't sync with my iPhone 4 anymore at all. I changed my DNS server settings on my Mac and iPhone (because of stupid Comcast) and now I can't sync using wifi or usb. I reset all my settings to how it was before and it still doesn't work. I'm all out of ideas and its starting to pisss me off so any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

    i found the one that worked best for me was step 5 because right after the most recent itunes update, my 5s only came up on my pc. the instructions for step 5 are a bit tedious but it works great. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • 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.

  • How to configure iTunes for travel with an iPhone?

    While I keep iTunes and iPhone on my primary iMac, I'm going to be doing some travel and will need to make adjustments for keeping my iPhone backed up on a new MacBook Pro I'll be taking with me. I do not want to add any songs from my current iTunes library or pictures from iPhoto to the MacBook Pro as these are both already on my iPhone.
    However, I need to know how to configure iTunes on the MacBook Pro with just a bare installation so I can keep my iPhone apps in it and make a backup every night, but not lose the pictures and music currently on the iPhone. IOW, I want the iPhone to remain unchanged (keeping the pictures and songs), but simply backup only the apps each night when I plug it in. I'll unplug it after the backup and use a regular charger and switch users on the MBP so my wife can do the same with her iPhone.
    The only reason for doing this is insurance while traveling that if we need to restore our apps for any reason on either phone, we'll have the backup on the MBP. I'm concerned that if I uncheck photos and music on the MBP iTunes sync area, I'll lose them both on the iPhone until I return home and sync again with the primary iMac. Thanks for any tips.

    The accelerometer on the iPhone is designed to respond to normal gravity forces on the surface of the Earth. However, I have found that the behavior of the accelerometer changes dramatically under other gravitational conditions.
    For a great laugh, if you take someone who has just bought an iPhone to a higher-gravity environment, Jupiter for example, and ask them to rotate their iPhone while using Safari, the overloaded springs in the accelerometer will only sluggishly switch the screen from vertical to horizontal.
    Their expression will say it all: "wait a second, I just bought this thing, and you're telling me it doesn't just snap to horizontal like in the commerciall??!!"
    "Relax, dude, you're on Jupiter! It works great on Earth."
    It's a hilarious gag. Gets them every time.
    To really mess with someone's head... I took a buddy of mine to the event horizon of a supermassive black hole where the gravity waves were so great the accelerometer was completely overhwelmed and unresponsive. The screen simply would not change from vertical to horizontal no matter how long you waited. Well! You should have seen my buddy's face. He had bought the iPhone the day before and was just about ready to return it even if it meant swallowing the restocking fee!!! It was hilarious.

  • Songs I purchased in iTunes, after syncing with my iPhone and iPad, show up in the library and playlist on the computer. They are in the songs lists on both devices but do not actually transfer to the playlist on either though the computer says they have.

    I purchased four songs in iTunes, downloaded them, then did a sync with both my iPhone and iPad.  All songs show up in the libraries of both devices. I then added these songs to a playlist on the computer then synced both devices again.  According to iTunes on the computer, all four songs are in the playlists on both devices.  However, on the actual devices, only two of the four are in the playlists.  All four are still showing up in the library.  I created another playlist specifically for these four songs to see what would happend, dragged them to the playlist on the computer, then did another sync.  Once again, according to the computer, all the songs are in the playlists on the devices.  However, only two of the four are actually in the playlists on the phone and iPad. Any ideas what's going on?

    Lynn,
    I had a very similar issue (same playlist).  After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my  playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button).  To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly.  Good Luck.

  • If I download an app on iTunes and sync with my iPhone it shows up as 'waiting'

    If I buy the app on my computer using iTunes, then sync my iPhone with my computer the app shows up as "Waiting" and its faded out until I get to a Wi-Fi network (or 3G if I have service) so it can redownload itself. If I buy an app off of the iPhone sometimes it works just fine and other times it does the same thing with the "Waiting" until I resync my iPhone with iTunes. It's like every app I download, I have to download twice...

    I assumed somebody would suggest that, but that is not the issue that I wanna make.
    Often I browse apps like appsfire or appsgonefree on my ipad and I end up downloading apps that I know I'm gonna use on my iphone and vice versa. Or I'm at work downloading some app from a web link on my work PC, knowing that I'll find it installed on my ipad when I get home.This is a feature and it's actually convenient for me, so I don't really want to disable it.
    But I also find myself reinstalling apps on my devices when I sync them with itunes, just because I have forgotten that I initially installed them one my phone and deleted them because I didn't like them.
    So, what I'm asking is, shouldn't there be a flag or something, that, when enabled, permitted you to choose If you wanted to uninstall an app from all devices and libraries?
    Isn't this a logical request?
    Surely, I mustn't be the only one that is annoyed by this omission in iOS!

  • How can I drag and drop lectures within an itunes U album so that they appear in order after syncing with my iphone?

    Whenever I download audio iTunes U lectures, they don't show up in the order in which they were recorded and therefore do not sync in order on my iphone.  There is no sorting option to sort by date recorded.  All I want to do is drag and drop the individual lectures to their proper location so that they will be in order by recording date.  Anyone have the secret?

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • Why wont iTunes wirelessly sync with my iPhone 5?

    Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me.
    I have an iPhone 5, I am running the latest version of iTunes on my iMac and my iPhone is displayed on iTunes. It is ticked to wirelessly sync. Both devices connect to my home wifi. However more often than not when I want to wirelessly sync some new podcasts or music to my iPhone (I tick what I want and then click apply) a box appears and says "looking for iPhone" it does this for a minute or two before presenting me with a message that says something along the lines of "the info could not be backed up as the device could not be found". My iPhone then disappears from iTunes and will not reappear until I connect it via USB. Once I disconnect the USB my iPhone stays listed on iTunes until I try to wirelessly sync again. Similarly if I try to sync my iPhone from the phone to iTunes it just says "look for iMac" until eventually giving up.
    I had an iPhone 4 before the 5 and it was set up in exactly the same way using the same version of iTunes the same iMac and over the same wifi and that worked first time every time. I have also tried quitting iTunes and restarting my iPhone.
    Sorry for waffling on but its becoming slightly annoying and I was hoping someone could help.
    Cheers

    I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
    Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
    BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

  • Sharing an iTunes library for syncing with an iPhone

    Not sure if this belongs in iTunes or iPhone thread but here goes. My wife and I have our own profiles on our Mac. Right now all the music/video is in my iTunes library. We are both getting iPhones and I want both of us to be able to sync the music/video from iTunes (maybe from some shared library folder) but I want her mail/contacts/addresses/etc. to synch on her phone and mine to synch with mine. She will be logged in to her account when she syncs and I'll be logged into my account when I sync. Is this possible with iTunes? Can we put the iTunes music/video in a shared folder that we both attach to and yet still sync our iPhones with our own info? I'd prefer not to duplicate the iTunes library in both accounts because that just wastes space. Any ideas?

    My husband and I have the exact same question. Have you figured this out? We were getting ready to share our music library and then panicked realizing that this might then totally mess up our synching to our own separate iPhones.
    Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • Every new picture I add to an iPhoto album appears in a new "untitled album" - why?

    I created an Album specifically for syncing with my iPhone. Every time I add a new picture to that album, iPhoto creates a nested "untitled album" for each picture. Thus I have "untitled album," "untitled album 1," etc. All I want is a single Album where I can selectively add photos for moving to the iPhone. I'm using iPhoto 11, iPhone 4s, iTunes 10.5.

    As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? If it doesn't then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

    I've got a few smart playlists.
    The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
    So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
    I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
    For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
    It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
    Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
    This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
    BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
    Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...

  • TS3697 My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto

    My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, but I get no warning message. Just no update of photos.  I do not believe i updated anything at the time that iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, its possible this coincided with one of the iTunes updates and i did not notice. I cannot see any new photos or albums in iPhoto in iTunes.  How do I fix this?  I already tried deleting the iPod photo cache in my iPhoto library. No luck.  Any idea how to solve this?

    Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
