Photo Event/Album Thumbnail not Synched with iPhoto

Hi and tnxs for reading.
Is there a way to sync my iPhoto Album/Event Thumbnails with my iOS devices? I am noticing that on them, only the first photos are used as thumbnails.
Tnxs, cheers

1) why is this not an automatic feature? I mean, do I have to manually trash that folder every time I do modifications and need to sync them or is it supposed to autoupdate automatically sometimes?
You shouldn't have to. This should update automaically.
I see that my thumbnails are not synched aswell. In iPhoto Events/Albums I can select a thumbnail. However, on my iOS devices photo library, the thumbnail is the first photo of the Event/Album. Any chance to syncautomatically the same thumbnail I have in iPhoto
I have no idea. I'd ask that on a forum for your Phone/Pad/Pod...
Regards

AppleTV not synching with iPhoto

Hi,
Just purchased and installed my AppleTV (first impressions are very good) however I cannot get the AppleTV to sync with any of my photos - as soon as I define to Sync with a Photo (Slideshow or Album) within iTunes the Sync process bombs out with an exclamation mark - as soon as I turn photos syncing off it all resumes as normal
anyone seen this issue before
Cheers
Rich

Jpeg is supported RAW I'm not so sure about, but
movie files are definately out.
First of all Agent McKay, are you actually syncing
your RAW photos or are they merely in your iphoto
library.
As for RAW support, I don't have any RAW photos so I
can't actually say whether they sync or not, but
according to the tv specs they are not supported.
The difference is that they might actually sync but
apple don't guarantee they do.
RAW as it's name implies is an uncompressed or
lossless format, however it is not a standard format
in the sense that jpeg and png are, which means that
sony RAW files may well be much different than canon
RAW etc. It is therefor quite possible that some RAW
photos will sync and others will not and why whilst
yours might, the poster for the purpose of diagnosis
must assume that any they have will not.
Perhaps I should have been more clear. My jpegs sync and appear in AppleTV the raw files do not. But you suggested that having raw files in a library might cause your ATV not to sync at all. For me this is not the case it appears ATV ignores the files it cannot display and syncs what it can.

How to organize events that repeat every year with iphoto

Dear Communitie,
y
How can i organize events that repeat every year with iphoto. For example, if i make picrues every year or 1 time a month, of my doughter, for example:
Playing with our dog in the garden january 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden march 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden October 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden december 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden march 2013
I don't know, what is the intelligent type of eventname.
If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden", than i cant see the difference of growing (3 Month old chilren is completle different of a 5 Month old children)
If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden Month Year" then the events are hundrets in 5 Year.
I think, i don't understand, how to organize the contents with events. Is thera a whitepaer, a guide or somethink like that to take the DB organized how Apple iPhoto is meaning?
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

The Trick is to create an Album
Playing with Dog in Garden
Drag the images you want from the Events to the Album. Sort the Album on Date. Now you have a chronological view of your daughter playing in the garden with the Dog.
Albums are similar to playlists in iTunes. The contain pointers to files in the Library, so they use no disk space. An shot therefore can be in as many albums as you want.
Some of the organisational possibilities of iPhoto"
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
Some points:
There's enough hard drive space on both
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
Cheers
David

As per the question, really...
"My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
There's no error messages
Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4. I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago. I do not have an iPhone, but that's next. I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
The issue:
Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on. BUT, this depends:
     a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
     b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
     i.e Assume MacBook is powered off. I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM. If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook. However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
Confused? So am I. To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3. I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago. I do not know if this is related.
Another issue: SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order. In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM). Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification). Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM). Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices). One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar. For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above. I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
Thanks,
HankSTL
ps. I may post to several communities so if you see this message in several communities, I am just trying to get the best coverage.

The same thing is happening to me.
And it's similar to this thread:

Thought I'd cross-ref the two.

Iphone calendar does not synch with outlook

Starting on Feb 1, my iPhone (5s) does not synch with Outlook (2013). Have tried many things:
1. Building new Outlook data file (.pst)
2. Changing synch settings in iTunes
3. Changing USB cables
4.Removing/reinstalling iTunes and other Aplle software
Problem seems to have started after upgrading iOS and iTunes.
Any idea?

Yes, that does make sense. You can transfer data from the old .pst file without saving it as a .pst file. Archive your current .pst. Then save your contacts as vCards, and save your calendar as an iCalendar file. After creating the new .pst file, you can open the old calendar in the new .pst as well as import the vCards back to your contacts.
Last question, did you run the scanpst.exe program to review your .pst file for corruption? You will find that, if I remember correctly, in the Office program folder. You can search for it. Run that, it prompts you for your .pst file and will scan it for problems. But saying that it started on a specific date would lead me to believe it is something you probably added that day. Out of all of the time I've been using Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013 with my iPhones, and I've had them since the first one, I've only had 2 small events, and copying over the .pst has fixed them both.

The library is not compatible with iPhoto

Suddenly my iPhone4 will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What to do?

Suddenly my iPhone 4 (ios4.3.4) will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What can be the problem? The iPhone and the iMac seem to work fine in all other was and the iphone gives off its usual sound when plugged into the computer.

iPhoto opens but not iTunes and no synching noted either on iMac or iPhone and after a few seconds iPhone screen goes black. I turned off and restarted. My wife is having the same problem with a different iPhone model and a Macbook. The problem seems to have begun for each of us since upgrading to 10.6.8. There are no error messages for either of us.

Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier. Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

LG VX8300 not compatible with iphoto???

I have not tried importing photos from my LG VX8300 to iphoto before, and iphoto does not seem to recognize the camera portion of the phone. Is this phone not compatible with iphoto (iLife 08)
Thanks
I am using a USB cable to transfer info... not bluetooth and I'm not buying an SD card
Thanks

Peter:
Do you have a memory card in the phone that you can transfer the photos to? If so, you can get an inexpensive card reader and use it. That's how I get photos from my LG onto my HD.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.
