Not all photos in iphoto are syncing to ipad

I hope someone can help me with this!  I noticed that not all of my photos are syncing to my iPad (original) anymore even though I have "sync all" checked on the photos tab of my iPad in iTunes.  I have recently uploaded pictures from my sd-card onto my MacBook Pro from the little reader slot as well as photos from my iphone.  All of these photos are organized into Events in iPhoto.  My camera is about a year old so I've uploaded pictures many times before, but there are also pictures from two other cameras in the library.  There are pictures from the newer camera that HAVE synced onto the iPad.  For example, we have a ton of pictures from our trip to California (one event in iPhoto) last spring in which half of them show up on the iPad and the other half do not. 
Also, if relevant, my iphone is about 2.5 years old (holding out for the new version!), and it seems like some of the pictures from the phone are synced onto the iPad from iPhoto and some aren't. 
My ipad and laptop both have plenty of space for the pictures so I don't think that's the issue. 
Advice I've seen so far...
After searching through these boards and googling the issue, I've read a lot about deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but I don't know if this is really for the same issue. 
Additionally, I found a post on another site that mentioned an issue if the images have the same file name.  It doesn't seem to matter to iPhoto if the names are the same, but it sounds like it may matter to the iPad (according to the one post that I read)?  If that's the case, I don't know how I would ever prevent this from happening because my DSLR will always number the pictures in order, which is what my Point & Shoots did as well.  I'm pretty sure that's standard for all cameras.  If I were taking a few pictures every so often, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the names of each image, but when I'm loading 500 pics at a time, which is generally the case, I can't rename them all.   
Help with this is much appreciated!

If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

  • Not all photos in Event got synced

    I found that not all photos in my events were synced into my iPhone recently, but it used to be ok.
    I have already selected to sync "Selected albums......include ALL event" options in iTunes.
    The event folder itself was synced but not all photo in the event get synced to iPhone, just some of them. Anyone got an idea on what happen ??
    Thanks.

    Well...first a quick question, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? Your profile indicates you haven't installed the combo update, which has a number of bug fixes. You might want to first repair permissions, then install the update, which can be obtained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL958. Once done, repair permissions again & check for any updates to iphoto, if that's what you're using.
    Then, lets see if we can fix this mess. I'd suggest first removing ALL photos from your phone by un-checking the various albums or folders you have selected in itunes and hitting the APPLY button. Once you've confirmed that there are no photos on your phone, delete the photo cache on your computer, again, as described earlier. Then launch isync from your applications folder & under preferences select reset sync history. Once complete, reboot your computer, launch itunes, connect your phone, select what photo albums you want and hit apply.
    Are any of these photos in a music slide show? If so, try disabling or removing the music BEFORE you try and sync them back.

  • Not all appointments in outlook are syncing - Outlook 2003

    I've seen a number of threads about outlook not syncing at all with the iphone. My issue is different in that I am able to sync but not all my calander appointments are making it onto the phone. I dont see any common factor in the appointments that arent making it. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?
    After 2 dayt Im close to getting the iPhone to where I need to be. This is the last of the major issues. I guess thats why its called the bleeding edge.

    Same problem here. Outlook 2003 Calendar only syncs some events, but not all. But, contacts sync both ways without any problems.
    Sure like to get the calendar to sync right.

  • IPad doesn't sync all photos + earlier iPhoto versions work with iPad

    1. I have my iPad set to sync with iPhoto, but the iPad doesn't have all of the photos that are in iPhoto. I get a message that it can't sync IMG_0026.JPG so I wonder if when that photo is reached the sync just stops. Could this be the reason?
    2. Also as these problems started after my most recent iPhoto 8.1.x update and for other reasons, I'm planning on dumping iPhoto 8 and going back to an earlier version such as iPhoto 5. Is anyone here using iPhoto 5 or 6 with their iPad?

    OK. I removed the photo and everything else seems to have synced fine. So question 1 is answered.
    Now what about question #2?

  • IPhone is not getting all photos from iPhoto during sync

    One particular album in iPhoto is only showing as having 3 photos in iTunes and only syncs those 3 to the iPhone. The album actually has 9 photos, but I can't get the other 6 to sync up. Any thoughts or experience with this problem?

    Got it. I had to export and then drop the photos back in the album. Lost all the notes i had put on them, but at least now they show up in the album in iTuens and synch to the iPhone.

  • Not all photos in photostream are pushing

    Hi, I thought I had everything set up properly. I have had pics build up in my photostream. As of right now, there are over 600. I am not sure I downloaded them all, but they are not appearing in the photostream folder in my computer. How do I get them to send them to my computer? Alternatively, how do I manually do it? My cloud storage is full--I guess bc of the photos, so I need to get them all downloaded and clear them out. And on that note, how do I clear them out? What I think happened is everytime I moved them from photostream folder I didn't clear them out of the photostream. Thanks!

    Yes.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  When you enable it on a new device, it can only access photos that were added in the last 30 days.

  • Not all Photos in photostream are downloaded !!

    I bought iPadAir yesterday and I activate the photostream where I have over 700 photos there. But only latest 9 photos are downloaded in my ipad when I took new pics with my iPhone still can see them in my ipad. Does the age of the photo make diff. Here?
    Thanks

    Yes.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  When you enable it on a new device, it can only access photos that were added in the last 30 days.

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • What version of iPhoto.  iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91) -  What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3 -  Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3
    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture

  • IPhoto to Aperture 3 import - not all photos get imported...

    Hello - My library is not huge, only about 8000 photos. Just bought Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library into A3. Seemed to go without issues. Today, as I re-organize a few folders, projects, etc., I realize that not all the photos were imported. About 700, to be exact. Every named Event in iPhoto imported over into A3, but not all photos within each Event (now Project). Any thoughts on what could have happened and how this could be avoided?
    I could import each Event individually, but then I would loose all my keywords. Any work around you can think of? Thanks!

    Try rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    I would import each event individually, but I would like my keywords preserved
    Using the iPhoto Media Browser (File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser) will get your keywords too.
    Regards
    TD
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    my calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account.  On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
    Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
    If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com.  Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone.  Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
    If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

    Howdy eewebe13,
    So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
    Please step through this article for that scenario.
