Photos from iPhoto to iPod problem

I received my iPod Classic Black 160Gb and everything is fine with Cover Flow (exempt that I have double pictures of two or three albums) and Games, Podcasts, Video
are working. But I can't sinc my iPhoto Library (6000 photos) with iPod, because it shows only about 2000 in the iTunes (for example in the Family album I have about 2000 photos in iPhoto and only 400 in iTunes sinc) How to make them all to show up?

I'm having the same problem with my 4GB Nano 2G, but I haven't had any luck finding a solution as of yet.

Can't get photos from iPhoto to iPod

My iPod software won't recognize my iPhoto library so I can't synch pictures. When I select the iPod Option to synchronize photos from iPhoto and do an iPod update, it doesn't transfer and photos from iPhoto and in fact it unchecks the synchronize photos option in the iPod software. I'm using a 60GB video iPod w/the current iPod software, iTunes 6.0.1, iPhoto 5.0.4 on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.4.3.

Archyeon:
Here's how to do it:
Getting Photos from iPhoto 5 to an iPod
create a special Album in iPhoto for the Nano and place those photos in it you want on the iPod.
connect the Nano to the Mac and when mounted in iTunes open iTunes' preferences and go to the iPod Photos section - Figure 1.
scroll down till you see the album and select it. If you don't want the full sized image files to be copied to the Nano do not select the Include full-resolution photos box.
close the preferences and when the syncing is completed dismount the Nano and then disconnect from the Mac.

Adding photos from iphoto to ipod nano 6th generation

I want to take photos from iphoto (mac os x 10.6.8) and put them on my ipod nano 6th generation. I can't find anything on itunes that mentions photos and my ipod doesn't show up in iphoto or applications.

Thanks. I followed through with those instructions. Now when I go to sync, I don't want everybody else's music to show up on my ipod. How do I sync? And if I check sync only checked songs, will it sync ALL checked songs? We have alot of songs, but I don't want all of them. How can I manually sync?
Thanks!

Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
Anybody know what's up with this?

Thanks again TD
I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
(As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
Thoughts welcome.

Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
Any thoughts welcome.
Duff
ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

Transferring photos from iPhoto to iPod

I have photos in iPhoto on my MacBook that i would like to transfer to my iPod Touch (3rd generation). Is there any way of doing this and if so, how?

Attach your iPod to the Computer, open iTunes, click on your iPod and on the right side you could configure which albums, photos etc should be transferred to the iPod.

Cannot copy photos from iPhoto to iPod Nano

Hello all,
This is my first post so please be gentle!
I have just purchased a new Nano. Everything works fine and dandy apart from viewing photos.
I have set up the Nano via iTunes to copy (sync) all photos. iTunes then optimises the photos and states it has copied them to the Nano. When I view them on the Nano they are not there. I have changed the amount I copy (sync?) from one folder to the whole lot with no effect.
Am I doing anything wrong.
How much free space do I need in the first place?
What size does iTunes reduce the photos to?
Please help me!

I'm not sure what's going on, but something you might want to try is to make an album in iPhoto with only three or four photos, and then set the iPod to only sync with that album. That should at least let you know if the feature works, and then you can play with sizes, etc. Also, you might want to make sure you have installed any available updates for your iPhoto, just to play it safe.

How to get photos from iPhoto onto iPod Touch

I have thousands of photos recently added to iPhoto, but can't figure out how to get them on to our new iPod touch. Help!!

Connect your iPod to iTunes, and select it under "Devices" in the left sidebar. Then the main window will show your sync options.
If you haven't synced your iPod before, look at this video: http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/#video-syncipod

Photos from Iphoto are turning pink

Hi Everyone. My son is trying to make a montage in IMovie HD 6 (we just got it). He's using still photos from iPhoto. The problem is perfect pictures are turning pinkish/red when he puts them in his template. I can't figure out what's going wrong. We're VERY frustrated.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

There's a bug in iMovie 6 that applies a red tint when importing BMP images — those with the .bmp extension. It occurs only when importing with the Ken Burns checkbox turned ON.
Save the BMP image as a JPEG before importing to iMovie and all should be fine.
iPhoto lets you Export the photo to another copy that uses the JPEG format.

Emailing Photos from iPhoto 7.1.5

I just installed Snow Leopard. I always emailed photos from iPhoto without any problem. Now, when I click on MAIL, nothing happens.
Can anyone help?

If I understand you correctly the photos upload, but Facebook won't show them to you, right? Then a few hours later they show up as expected? Sounds like an issue with either facebook or your Browser. I don't see what iPhoto has to do with it, really.
Have you tried emptying your browser cache?
Regards

Problem transferring photos from Iphoto to my iPad 2

Hi, I tried to synchronize my photos from iPhoto in my iMac to my iPad 2 using iTunes and got the following alert message: " IPad from Rene could not be synchronized. Unable to find required file."
Can somebody give me some advise to solve this issue?
I restored it to factory and continue having the same message.
Best Regards
Rene

The problem is probably on your iMac not your iPad.
Here are some instructions on how to fix:
1) Close iphoto and itunes
2) Find the iphoto library in finder, most probably located in your users folder under pictures.
3) Control click on iphoto library (might be named diferently) and choose show package contents
4) Delete the folder caches and ipod photo cache.
5) Restart iphoto
6) Restart itunes
if itunes asks that the library is linked with another ipod, say yes to the warning to re sync with your ipod/iphone

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.
I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available. It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
I have never had this problem before. It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
I really appreciate it.

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

Problems "pulling" photos from iPhoto into iMovie....

I am trying to create a movie with a combination of movie clips from my DV camera and photos from iPhoto (on my G5, 2ghz iMac). Movie clips are no problem. The problem occurs when I try and "pull" in more than 20 pics or so from iPhoto. I am trying to "pull" them in via "Media" and then "Photos". If I try and pull in a bunch, say more than 20, iMovie quits and I have to start all over again. Is this a bug and is there any workaround?

I actually think this is one area where iMovie6 does a lot better than iM5. My machine used to choke all the time when I would try to drag a whole bunch of photos into timeline. The reason is that whenever you bring in photos like that, they have to be rendered, so trying to render a whole lot of stuff is going to be time dependent based on your processor, memory etc. (and the settings you have for timelength, ken burns effect etc.) iM5 tried to render everything simultaneously and would always lock up on me. iM6 appears to render one at a time so it eventually finishes, but then I stopped trying to import large bunches of photos after my iM5 experience so I can't say where the limit is.
I've gotten so fond of playing with the ken burns effect and setting the start and stop points that I pretty much do all my images one at a time now because it can render the last one while I'm picking settings for my next one.

Problems exporting photos from iPhoto even after trying earlier suggestions

I've done this before with no problem.
I want to export 158 photos from iPhoto 11 on my iMac (OS 10.9.4) so I can put them on a 2GB SD card (MS-DOS FAT16) for a digital frame. With the SD card in the slot on the back of the iMac, I exported the files to that disk. I got an "Unable to create /Volumes/[filename]" error. Went ahead and deleted that pic from the album I'd created for export but got the error for a different file.
Checked through the iPhoto forum and found others had similar problems. Terence Devlin suggested exporting to a folder on the desktop and dragging to the card. When I try that, I get an "Item [filename] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space" error. (This despite the fact that the Finder info shows 14.7MB for all the files and it's a 2 GB card.) I click "OK" in the error window and am told the 158 items are being copied. However, when the process is complete, only two files appear on the card in the Finder and both of them show they're empty (i.e., Size: Zero bytes).
Tried reformatting the card. Tried plugging an external card reader into one of the USB ports on the iMac. Same problem.
Thoughts?

the general answer is to export the photos to a desktop folder and then drag that folder (not the photos in it) to the proper location on the unlocked SD card - FAT formatted volumes have a very low limitation on the number of lies on them at the root level hence the necessity to put the files in a folder and drag the single folder to the FAT volume
