Prior synced pictures attempt to be re-imported each time iPad is connected

Hello,
This may be a very simple adjustment. I recently purchased an app that provides background scenes for the iPad and added a few backgrounds to my photo gallery on the device. I then synced the device with my macbook and as expected they were imported into iPhoto. However, I chose not to delete them off the iPad for the obvious reason of having them available to change background from time to time. However, the problem is that now with each new sync iPhoto wants to re-import them. I like this feature but would prefer that it not repeat after photos have already been uploaded. Is their a setting or adjustment to stop this from happening each time the iPad is synced.
Thanks in advance,

How do you have your preferences set? I don't have this happening with my iPad, possibly because I changed the following:
1. Disabled the auto-sync
2. In the Photos tab of the device in iTunes, I have it set to sync photos from iPhoto BUT I checked the "Use selected..." button, rather than the "All..." button.
I still have a problem with iPhoto wanting to import photos from my iPhone that it has already imported but it seems to be restricted to the ones I took with the camera, even though they were imported by iPhoto months and years ago!
If changing your settings to something similar to mine doesn't fix it, you may have to do a restore on the iPad. Call Apple for help.

  • Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB? Slows down TB by much each time.

    Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB?
    It does slow down quite heavily. e.g. It takes almost 5 mins to just write a simple short email, since ''freezing'' at every 3-4 caracters.
    All other programs on the computer work fine in the meantime, though. Including word processor. So it is really a TB issue.
    Or is it a GMail issue, forcing download everytime a connection is created ?
    I am on Win8.1 on an ASUS AiO.
    Thanks

    IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the server.
    You subscribe to see server Folders.
    Headers are downloaded and when you select to view an email, the emails are downloaded to a temp cache to enable quicker access to those emails, but upon exit Thunderbird the temp cache is lost, so you cannot read emails if offline. These emails are not stored on your computer.
    If you synchronise subscribed folders, then a copy of the folder is downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folder and stored in an mbox file. This means you can read them even if offline.
    However, the folder is set up to synchronise with the server when changes occur, so that your copy and the folder on the server are updated to be the same.
    I would recomend that you do not allow folders to get too big as it would take longer to synch.

    Can you see an 'All Mail' folder?
    This is gmails copy of all your emails, so it is gmail Archive of your emails.
    This folder can get huge. As it only shows you what you already have in other folders, it also doubles the size of your Profile and can take a while to download. It is recommended that you do not subscribe to see this folder.

  • Apple TV sync is taking forever- Will this happen each time I sync?

    I just got a new Apple Tv. I am syncing 12 movies from iTunes and about 650 songs. This is taking forever! My question is, if I add a new movie to iTunes and want to sync it to AppleTv, will it take this long again? If I uncheck the rest of the movies for syncing, will it erase them from the Apple Tv? I do not think I can wait this long each time I want to add a new movie to the Apple Tv. Thanks in advance for you help.

    I just bought an Apple TV and began experiencing this problem once I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. I have a MacBook Pro so I was quickly running out of room. I moved my library to an external drive that is attached to my Airport Base Station. But I'm having issues syncing and streaming. It begins to sync but goes on and on and doesn't stop. Even when I try to stream the content it constantly stops to load and repeats the process again and again. My external hard drive is a 1TB Western Digital USB 2.0.
    I've read about a lot of syncing issues so far. If this continues I'm going to simply return it because it really doesn't do what it claims it should do very well.
    Is this a software issue? Is it because I moved my iTunes library to an external drive? Even when I play videos on my computer it still has issues playing back.
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • 1st Gen iPad re-syncs every book/pdf each time it is connected to iTunes

    Hey everyone.  Perhaps this has been asked/solved before, but I couldn't find a link.  I have the 1st gen iPad (ancient) 64gb WiFi/3G with 200+ books, pdfs, documents, etc in iBooks.  Each time I connect my iPad to iTunes, it syncs quickly, until step 7; and then proceeds to re-sync every single book, pdf, document within iBooks.  It does not sync un-checked documents.
    I've tried:
    1. Restoring
    2. Complete erase and re-install (2x)
    3. Magic
    4. Complete erase of every document and reuploading them in iTunes
    Not quite sure what to do.  Syncs take 10+ minutes now, even to add one new document.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I would try set it to not sync books at all
    sync
    disconnect it
    reconnect it
    set it to sync books again
    sync

  • Curve 9360 Blackberry ID, other Apps stop syncing after about 2 hrs, must reset each time

    I have a new Curve 9360, downloaded google sync, voice, and maps, but not much more.  After about 2 hrs or so, all applications including Blackberry ID, google sync, voice, and maps stop updating.  When I go to Blackberry ID Account, it gives error "Unable to retrieve your Blackberry ID account information."  But after a hard or soft reset all applications work for about 2 hrs.  I have already performed a "Factory Reset" with the Blackberry Desktop Software.
    It seems like it must be a global setting that gets changed after a few hours each time.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Also the os that's installed is the 1st os 7 released if I'm not mistaken and buggy best to update to latest os.
    Once update is do not install all 3rd party applications immediatley some maybe incompatible with os 7. Install 1 at a time and test phones response for a few days.

  • How to delete RAW photo's from my DSLR imported to my iPad

    I have previously connected my Canon DSLR to my iPad and when importing the files had the Camera Raw (.CR2) files copied over too.  I needed that to happen when I was a way from home, but now I am back I need to Erase them from my iPad.  I previously had a Windows laptop but now have a iMac.  The iPad does not show up as a drive to search and find these to Delete them on my iMac?

    Hi, SnappyChappy.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps that will walk you through the process of importing your photos and videos taken via a camera and imported via the iPad Camera Connection Kit.  Once these are imported, you will have the option to delete the photos from your iPad.

  • Syncing pictures question

    Since I switched to the iPhone 4, when I do a sync, it does not sync pictures from my camera roll to my PC. It syncs every other folder that I have in "Pictures", but it does not sync Camera Roll to my PC. This may be obvious but not to me. What am I missing?

    iTunes does not handle the importing of photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll - never has.
    When there are photos and/or videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Photos and/or videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

  • Syncing pictures

    I have always used my Ipod Touch for just a few apps but mainly to have a very portable way of viewing my 26 gb worth of pictures - about 54K pictures - (which I have always successfully synced from my Pictures folders). Upgraded to iOS 5 so lost them all. Have tried to sync for hours and hours and so many times I have lost count! Some sync OK then 'session' is terminated'. Even got to get about 40K sync'd but now it only does a few - several times just 2 pictures. Have restored twice so now, of course, lost my apps also. Have tried importing them all into iPhoto and then sync but that does not separate them into the folders I want.
    Can anyone help me with this issue or has Apple produced something which they think I no longer need?
    Brian

    I wonder if this discussion is still active since I have failed to solve the problem. Since my last comment, I have put all my photos into iPhoto - tried to sync from Events, then changed all of the 500 folders in Events to albums and tried to sync again (many times) but only managed up to about 75% of the folders. Restored Touch 4 times, reinstalled iTunes, deleted caches numerous times and also been to Genius Bar where they very kindly worked on it for an hour. After that visit I got up to the 75% level again and then same old problem. I think my Touch does not like iOS5 and would love to go back to iOS4 (??) and see if the problem is resolved! It all worked fine until that dreaded upgrade to iOS5. Any ideas??

  • Syncing pictures from photo version 1

    On my MAC, iPhoto is no longer available and has changed to Photos.  I have been syncing my iPhone in iTunes with the option to sync pictures from iPhoto.  This apparently is no longer working.  I have selected the "Copy photos from:" to Photos, but no pictures are coming up to sync with.  What am I missing?

    You won't be able to copy them via iTunes or iPhoto - only photos copied via the camera connection kit or saved from websites/emails can be copied via iPhoto (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). I think the assumption is that if you've synced them from a computer then you've already got a copy of them.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 :
    +Pictures that have been synced from your computer to your device cannot be reimported back to your computer. Only pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos can be imported from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email them directly from the device to yourself and then copy them from the emails to your computer.+
    Depending on how many photos you're talking about, and whether you've got access to the computer where they came from, I don't know if there is an easier way of doing it other than emailing them.

  • Syncing pictures problem w Aperture

    I have been syncing one particular album without problem. Now after a few changes in the album (deleting a couple pictures, adding light and so on), iTunes can only see 11 pictures in my album (there are 51). It can see the album in iTunes, I can tick the box but it only says 11. I also have an album I sync that has 108 pictures in it but iTunes only sees 24. Very strange
    I have tried restarting all devices and I've been deleting iPod photo cache without success.
    Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this?
    Thank you
    Sophie

    I didn't find the cause of it but I did find a solution.
    Export all pictures (in the albums you are having trouble with). Make sure you export the versions, I tried doing exporting the originals but that didn't work.
    Then delete the pictures and then album.
    Import the pictures back in to Aperture.
    After that iTunes recognized all my pictures.

  • FCP audio sync issue, attempts at fix result in dodgy files - help!

    Hello,
    I have some Sony EX1 footage here in which 20 out of 500 QT files FCP will play the audio out of sync by either 14 or 19 frames (picture lags) - when shooting no changes were made to settings which were as follows:
    1080/25P HQ 16-bit 48Khz
    weird thing #1: only FCP will exhibit the out of sync problem, QT or even quickview in the OS X finder will play them back fine ...
    weird thing #2: once I export the footage without re-syncing it it will then play fine again in QT/finder and will sync fine in FCP - yay! - no... it will beach ball and/or lag/crash FCP/QT/finder once I attempt any sort of movement/scrubbing in any of the timelines
    attempting to work with the original un-synced footage and unlinking the audio (and correctly syncing it) as a workaround has failed as whenever I put on any video effect/transition or whatever the effected part will sync correctly and my smarty pants re-sync therefore makes it out of sync again ! arrrrgh!
    Basically, anytime I effect or export it the sync issue goes away, but I am left with crashy/corrupted files ...
    Any suggestions ?

    the audio clip is the same length as the video clip. it is not a matter of moving the audio over to sync it up. the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end. it is just fine at the start of the video and out of sync at the end. If I would sync up the end then the front will be out of sync. All I did is capture the footage from my deck to FCP and then placed it in the time line.
    Russell
    This is not correct but it's easy to arrive at that conclusion. The two clips aree not the same length by your definition: *the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end*
    Mark the place where the audio ends, mark the place where the video ends. They are different and that difference is a simple matter of subtracting one timecode location form the other. This means the audio was shot at a different sampling rate than that with which it was captured. I do not know anything about the DSR400 camera or your deck, my Sonys are different, but you should be able to ascertain the sampling rate of the audio by checking the data display. If, indeed, it's 48k, you have sent the audio to a separate folder than the video and your disk cannot keep up. But that sync difference is not absolute so it's going to be different each time you play it back.
