Not all photos synced to cloud

This is a question about a problem where not all my photos from my Photo library are syncing to the cloud.
I have 41.246 photos in my Photo app library. I enabled cloud sync and I have a 200Gb plan with 130Gb free storage.
Only 28.349 photo's are synced to the cloud.
I learned that only consolidated photos will be synced, but when I select all photos in my library and select Consolidate ... from the menu I get a message that all selected photos are already in the library.
What am I missing?

- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

2 Recovered folders appears and not all photos syncing

Using iPhoto 9.4.1 on my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion V10.8.2. Syncing with iPhone 4S 32GB on iOS6. Syncing with latest iTunes version.
When I choose to sync ALL photos with my iPhone in iTunes it tells me there are 18894 photos to sync. There are actually 18,923 photos in my iPhoto library. And then when it syncs to my iPhone only about half of those go on there.
When I choose to select SOME albums to sync, two folders are listed titled "Recovered Folder" only one of them has one item in it. These folders do not exist in my iPhoto library and never have. No idea where they have come from.
Also when I choose to select SOME albums to sync, another folder called LastNMonths also appears.
In the end all I want is all my photos on my iPhone. Same amount thats in my iPhoto album.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Cache. I have removed all photos. I have restored the iPhone many times.

I am getting events for photostream months, but these don't include everything either.
Here's a basic scenario of what's happening. Let's say I have 5 photos (not videos) that I took on my iPhone. All of them get downloaded in the photostream category on iPhoto on my iMac. However, when I sync my iPhone, only 3 out of the 5 photos end up going into events. If I force import them to iPhoto, it asks if I want to replace the dupes, because they are in my photo stream.
I can't figure out what criteria is used to determine this- it really makes no sense to me.

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.

I can see all of the thumbnails in my library but when i click on photo it becomes an ! not all photos do this but wondering if there is a fix

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later...
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 back.
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. .

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.

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.

Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

Hi,
why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
Thx
Markus

If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
How are you"merging" the photos?
most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
select one and show event to see the event

Sync multiple (but not all) photo folders?

I've got a new 4G Touch and I am trying to figure out how to sync multiple folders containing pics to the iPod, preserving the folder structure on the PC to the Album structure on the iPod. My device allows the following:
1) Sync all photos from Photoshop - no ability to select folders/albums, it's grayed out. It will sync as many photos as it can fit on the device, leaving 1G avail.
2) Sync a single folder from my PC- it won't allow me to select the whole library or parts of it as in 1) above.
The ends result is I have my camera roll, and then 1 huge library with 12,000 pic that I can only scroll through top to bottom. Useless for anything other than a slideshow.
How can I select multiple folders, say all my photos from 2010, and preserve the file structure on the iPod? It seems I should be able to have more than 1 album on the device.
Perhaps it has to do with how the files are set up in Photoshop? And why the link to photoshop? Sure would be nice to also sync with Picasa (ha, ha).
Any ideas out there? I searched on this issue and see that it was a question on previous generations, but have not found the solution.

I figured out the answer. Holding down the command key and clicking seemed to make it select all the events. I'm not sure exactly how I got that to work, but messing with it for a minute should make all the events selected.

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.

HT4236 Not all photo albums i select are syncing. Anyone have an idea why?

Not all the albums I select are syncing. I go to Device > photos >select "selected albums" then choose the albums i want on my ipod touch then hit apply. when its "done" syncing I check my photos in the ipod and only two albums show up out of the 9 i've selected. And theres this stubborn album that won't go away. anyone know what the problem is? And its NOT a software update issue, ive updated it several times.

Error 1009 means you are attempting to download from the AppStore in a
country other than the one you are located in or from an AppStore other
than the one you have an account in. That error can also mean that you
are in a country that is blocked.
If your government has blocked AppStore, Apple must comply. Get your government
to remove the restriction. This is not a decision by Apple, but by your government.

Not all photos on photostream sync to iPad

IPhoto says I have 197 photos in my photo stream. I recently had to delete my iCloud account on my iPad 2 because the notes were not syncing. When I added my iCloud account back only a few photos from the photostream synced back up. What can I do to have all photos on photostream sync back to my iPad?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos from the last 30 days. Your backup would include your camera roll photos but they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your device.

Not all photos show up in iTunes sync

I have always used Lightroom (professionally) and iPhoto (snapshots), but decided to give Aperture a try and bought it this week.
I have imported the iPhoto library (about 8000 photos), which went well. Then I wanted iTunes to start syncing my Apple TV (1st gen.) with Aperture instead of iPhoto. This seems very simple and straightforward, but the 8000 photos that Aperture shows don't show up in iTunes. It gives me about 1700 photos (this number seems to vary). It's the same when I want to sync my iPhone.
What could go wrong here? Why isn't iTunes seeing all the photos that I see in Aperture? This worked fine in iPhoto.

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

ICloud Photo Library, some not all photos

Is there a way to set up to store some photos, or photo albums in iCloud but not all? Seems like it's all or none.

Yeah - I'm sticking with Photostream, and iPhoto right now. Once the new photo app is available across the board, and there is more literature on it, I will look into using the cloud, but I'm happy to keep it on my Mac. With the automatic import of Photostream photos, it really doesn't require a lot of work to keep photos on the Mac, and with a regular backup to TimeMachine, I'm comfortable that it is all backed up and safe....
Cheers,

Why are not all photos in the "Photos" app not showing on the camera roll?

On my iPad 2 (using iOS 7.1.2) there are 1,279 photos in the Photos application. The camera roll contains 77 photos. The About section in the Settings indicate I have 1,421 photos. Why is there this discrepancy in numbers? How can I move all 1,279 photos from the Photos application to a USB flash drive?

You cannot.
You have sync'd 1202 photos (1279-77) from your computer using iTunes to your iPhone.
You have 77 photos on you iPhone you have taken with the iPhone and have not sync'd to your computer and deleted from the Camera Roll.
You should regularly sync all photos in the Camera Roll to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.
-> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
After you do this, you can sync whatever photos you want, back to your iPhone using iTunes. (These are the photos NOT in the Camera Roll).
-> iTunes: Syncing photos
After all this, you can copy photos from your computer to a USB flash drive.

TS3989 Not all photos transferring to computer via My Photo Stream

I have relied on My Photo Stream to get photos from my phone to my computer but recently they have not all been transferring. A couple pictures from yesterday transferred but others from last week did not. Why is this?

I am getting events for photostream months, but these don't include everything either.
Here's a basic scenario of what's happening. Let's say I have 5 photos (not videos) that I took on my iPhone. All of them get downloaded in the photostream category on iPhoto on my iMac. However, when I sync my iPhone, only 3 out of the 5 photos end up going into events. If I force import them to iPhoto, it asks if I want to replace the dupes, because they are in my photo stream.
