Picture album covers - Problem when sync to iPhoto 9.4.2 (710.42) / IOS 6.0

Hello,
My problem concerns the iphone picture album covers. As I am a photographer, I want to chose my picture album cover for all the albums I synchronized from iPhoto to my iPhone.
The trick that was working before: I was only changing the date (for an earlier one) of the picture I wanted to appear as my iphone albums cover pictures.
Since the last update of iphoto, all the pictures covers changed in my iphone but without respecting any rule (neither the alphabetical name, the chronological order, or the iphoto album cover are taken as rule). However, it is always the same picture that re appear as album cover picture.
Question: which picture is taken to be the album cover picture when synchronized from iPhoto to iPhone. What is the rule??
Thank you all.

If it's because of a damages preference file you can try this fix:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Album Covers Disappearing When Syncing

    Recently I purchased a new Ipod Touch G4 & noticed something strange that hadn't occured with any of my previous Ipods (which are still in use & do not display this same issue).
    Basically, I have 3-4 computers/laptops I typically use with my Ipod: when transferring music from one computer, any album covers that were synced from my laptop, etc disappear from the tracks.  When I transfer again from that laptop, the covers appear again but those that were added from the other computer, disappear.  This is quite annoying to be honest! 
    I've tried looking through the settings but I can't figure out what the issue is.  My ipod isn't set up to auto sync anything so it's a little confusing.  Could it possibly be the difference of OS?  (One laptop has Vista, my computer Windows 7, etc.)
    Any help would completely be appreciated!

    Anybody?

  • I have a problem when syncing my iphoto library to my iphone 3gs. There apprears to be more than 40  events with the same names but containing only 2-5 pics in my itunes sidebar when in fact I only have around 10 events on iphoto. How do I fix this?

    This has never happened before, and I've tried deleting all photos off my phone then syncing them all instead of specific events and nothing. I have around 10 events in my iphoto library but around 3,500 pictures. I have more than enough space on my phone but I only like to sync certain events, so when I go sync them I notice there are over 40 events listed, and all of them have the same name but it seems as though each "event" has like 2 photos.. On my phone all the different events come up as well. This is super annoying, does anyone know how to fix this ?

    I have the exact same problem!
    I have about 25 albums and a total of 8,100 pictures. When i go to iTunes -> "My iphone" -> Pictures, and then check the box to sync choses events the list of events is messed up. The same events shows up like 3-4 times and the events only have a couple of pictures in them.
    Does anyone know what can be causing this? Or what can be done to fix it?
    Using iPhone 4, latest IOS and latest V of Snow Lep..

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

  • I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

    I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).

  • Iphone 4s error when syncing with iPhoto on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone,
    The screen on my wife's iPhone 4s went out so I am trying to sync the pictures to iPhoto on our Macbook Pro.  She has 6,000+ pictures on the iPhone but when syncing to the computer iPhoto is able to read them all.  The problem is that when I hit the sync button or Import button it only reads about 200 or so photos then gives an error saying there was a problem with one of the pictures on the device so it can't sync at all.  The photos are the only thing that is important to us on the device so any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.  Also if anyone can recommend a different way or app or system to get them off using the Macbook Pro since the iPhone 4s screen is out i'm open to suggestions.  Thank you again.

  • Problem when syncing pics and video

    I am having a problem when I sync pics or video. It is set up to only download the new pics on my device but it downloads ALL pics every time. This is very annoying. I think it started when I updated to 6.0. Is there not a way to sync them without getting every pic every time? I open my blackberry picture folder in my pc and there are triplets of all my photos. Please help.

    Welcome to the forums.
    As Allan noted, it's important to be using USB 2.0 and it's possible your machine at home doesn't have this. Check it out via the manual or support site to make sure your home machine meets the specifications.
    Assuming for a moment it does, then what you can try is to turn off automatic sync (without the iPhone attached, go to the iPhone tab in iTunes and tell it not to look for an iPhone when attached). Then attach the phone and turn off all syncing except for your music. Make sure you sync via a playlist, and select a playlist that has a few hundred songs (or create one). See if that will transfer properly. If so, it may be the syncing of other items that is causing this problem.

  • Problem when syncing: won't update itunes play count/last played etc

    My old 2g shuffle was capable of updating play count/last played and adding songs to the recently played playlist when synced to my itunes.
    Seems my new 3g shuffle can't do this.
    I remember the trick with the 2g was to make sure it was switched off first before connecting/syncing, but I've tried all sorts of different combo's with the 3g and nothing will make it update song stats in itunes.
    How can I make it update my itunes?

    Ok, cool, I figured it out:-) Just in case anyone ever has the same problem, here's a quick rundown:
    Basically it's the same problem you can get with 2nd gen shuffles if you're manually managing songs. So I just unticked manually manage music in the device summary and got the shuffle to sync music from a playlist I created/dumped all the songs I wanted into.

  • How to show album covers show when playing a track?

    Hi, im just wondering how it is that you have an album cover showing when you're playing a track, e.g, the one on the iPod main site where it has the red hot chilli peppers cover there.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Problems when sync... waiting MIAUTH

    Hi, i´m sync but no send the data only receive the data... What happend? Yesterday work fine, and now no... Not appear error when sync.
    In the Syncbo MIAUTH appear variuos in waiting.
    Thanks,
    Edited by: Victor Capi on Dec 21, 2007 10:14 AM

    Hi Victor,
    leave the setting for MIAUTH as default - so do not set it!
    Your user request has nothing to do with MIAUTH - your user is the sync user in a SyncBO - that is the user that started the sync.
    What MIAUTH is doing is for the device handling with several users. This is not the same thing and so leave it as it is.
    The BO is usually not filled with live - meaning there is no bapi assigned to it by default. So it is triggered by MI itself - but does not get any return and so it is not effecting your App. By the way it is not triggere with every sync - but just with every sync after a client reset or new installation.
    So leave it in default and it is fine for you.
    Regards,
    Oliver

  • Image problems when importing modified Iphoto pictures to aperture 3

    I seem to have a bit of strange problem with modified pictures after they are imported in A3.
    I am using Iphoto 8.1.1 and have just bought Aperture 3. I decided to import all my iphoto pictures using the import iphoto library function.
    I noticed that all images that had (in iphoto) been edited using the retouch function to reduce blemishes have problems in Aperture. The problem appears to be where the brush was used is now pixilated in that area and it just looks like a cluster of "noise". This only seems to happen when I used the import iphoto library. I tried to replicate the issue importing some of the same pictures individually and there was no issue. Than I made a new library tried to import iphoto library and same issue ones again. Exporting the picture out of aperture keeps this error. It's quite a worry as I have several hundred of these pictures and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
    Please have a look at the links below for an example of before and after import.
    http://files.me.com/dan_801/rlebic (the original file)
    http://files.me.com/dan_801/s0zn6d (after importing into A3)

    ok quick update - I opened up the aperture library in finder and located the image. The master appears to be the correct image but in Aperture itself it's showing a different image. The picture in Aperture appears to be pointing to the preview directory within the library structure. I tried re building the review and thumb and same issue again. When I export from aperture it also seems to export the preview version as oppose to the master. How do i fix this issue

  • Problem when Syncing Music: Album Artwork Mixed Up on Ipod Touch

    I have a 64gb iPod touch, 4th generation. I sync my music over usb to the iPod through itunes with my entire library. Over the past year I have been having an issue where the music album artwork will be mixed up or sometimes dissapear/not show. Not all of my music does this, mind you, but only some of it. I have a lot of music so it's hard to say what percentage of it but it seems to be at random. I don't mean random as in it changes everytime but that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind which tracks/albums get their artwork mixed up. I have no videos on the ipod either.
    So I've tried many things. I've reset my iPod Touch, always made sure the music app didn't appear in the bottom tray after double clicking(when I sync) and even tried setting my library up on my new computer (it used to be on my old one). Also I've gone through my mp3 collection and cleaned and synchronized all of the tags(between albums, ID3v1 & ID3v2) and album artwork with Mp3Tag. Everything is flawless (I have OCD, hah). Also everything appears correct in iTunes and I'm only having the issue on my iPod touch.
    Here is a breakdown of what I've noticed but can't explain:
    1.Reset ipod, reinstall iOs,
    2.Sync library with iPod touch, everything is fine,
    3.Add a few more tracks to the iTunes library,
    4.Resync iPod Touch(here I've noticed something weird. Now the ipod resyncs some of tracks that are already on my iPod Touch and when I look at those tracks in the music app the album artwork is mixed up or sometimes gone.
    So I don't really know what to do. I've looked through every forum and website looking for a fix and tried everything I can think of or suggested so far. Any help would be appreciated. I should point out that this problem is merely cosmetic and all the tracks play fine. But I bought a $400 iPod Touch and it can't even do the one thing that made it famous properly. I don't know, these electronics are expensive and things like this are helping me to lose faith in Apple. I've already bought an android phone over lack of faith that the iPhone would display my music correctly. I know it seems silly but an organized library is important to how much I can enjoy my device.
    Thanks, hope you guys can help!
