Problem syncing Aperture albums ("shifting")

I have an Aperture project of my boy's photos. Under it there are different albums, containing photos of him taken on different dates, and also a smart album of photos with a certain rating. So the structure is like this:
Baby Photos
- 20070420 First Outing
- 20070421 Birthday party
- Smart Album of favourites
I have set my Apple TV to sync only the smart album.
The problem is, whenever I add a new album to the project (after a photo shoot), Apple TV will be set to sync another album (usually the newly added album) instead of the smart album, just like its "shifted" by the newly added album.
Is this a bug or am I the only one having this problem? I have spent quite some time searching this forum but couldn't find a solution to this.
I have upgraded Aperture to 1.5.3 and the problem is still here.
Many thanks.

I just realized this is happening to me both on my Apple TV and my iPhone. Did you ever find out anything more about this issue? I'm seeing exactly the same behavior.
Out of curiosity, do you make previews for all of your photos? I only make selected previews for some albums. Don't know if that's related or not...

Problem syncing Aperture to iPad

Has anyone else had a problem syncing Aperture to the iPad after upgrading to Mountain Lion? I have attempted to sync selected albums from Aperture, but no new images were transferred.
Thanks -
Dudley

I agree, it appears to be screwed up. I've only been able to do limited tests, but it appears you CANNOT choose "Selected Albums, ...." WITHOUT specifying something other than 'no Events'. In other words, you can't simply select an album or smart collection, you MUST choose an event. And I've found even if I choose 'all events', I only get a small subset of the photos in the library included as part of the sync. What's an event, anyway? It's not part of Aperture's nomenclature.
This whole process looks pretty stupid to me, and I don't have time to spend with it right now. In the limited syncing I've done, I've always used the other way, i.e., NOT Aperture. Unless I'm totally missing the boat here, looks like I will have to continue doing that.

Problems syncing Aperture photos

Hi,
I seem to be having some issues syncing my pictures from Aperturen to my AppleTV. In iTunes I can select the albums / Projects which I want to sync with my Apple TV, and iTunes is sending the individual pictures to my AppleTV.
Sadly on the AppleTV itself, some of my Albums / Projects don't appear. The pictures seem to be there though, but not the 'container'. I can sometimes fix it by renaming the Album and syncing it again, but sometimes that doesn't seem to work neither.
Anyone having the same issues, or knows a workaround for that ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Stefaan

Yes, I'm having the identical problem. Did you ever find a fix? The only one I can think of is to create smart albums within each project, as Apple TV seems to recognize the smart album but not the project. But there has to be a better way.

Problem syncing iPhoto albums through iTunes

While using iTunes 11.0.5 to sync iPhoto 11 albums to my iPad, iTunes seems not be awaree of any update in the contents of the albums.
iTunes also recognizes new albums if I create them in iPhoto, but indicates they contain 0 photos.
This way I am not able to transfer new photos from my MAc to my iPad using sync in iTunes.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Try deleting the photo cache from your Mac and then re-try the photo sync (with all albums that you want selected) and see if they all then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

HT1848 Problem sync purchased album to iPod

I purchased an album through iTunes but it won't sync with my iPod. It is on my iTunes library. I tried to drag it since it would not sync and it did not allow that either.

there is defiantly no problem with too many authorized computers, because apple would just wipe all of the computer's authentications and start from 0. does your advanced menu show that your computer or does it say "deauthorize computer," because if it is the latter, that means that your computer is authenticated. i am not sure what else you could try, except deauthorizing your computer and reauthorizing. this would be the easiest step.

Anybody having problem syncing iphoto albums with iphone 4s?

in itunes its showing the photos are on my phone but they arent. when i restart itunes it goes back to the amount on my phone. also ever since i aded the album to be synced my phone hasnt been able to sync to my computer. my system is up to date. my iphone hasnt been plugged into any other computer. my old iphone 4. sadface.

Turn Off the icloud synch on all devices
Determine which device will be the inital source of contacts and add all the desired contacts to it. When you are done, turn iCloud synch back on for that device
Remove contyacts fort the other devices, then
Turn iCloud back on for contacts on all devices
It may take a little while for the synch to complete

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...

Problem with Aperture not syncing iPhoto albums to iPad

Want to sync a few choice old photo albums created in iPhoto to my iPad. Since I am now running that old iPhoto library in Aperture I should be able to sync selected albums via iTunes, Aperture and USB.
I looked at iTune's photo sync screen and saw that iTunes still distinquishes between iPhoto and Aperture libraries, i.e. one needs to make a choice.
I selected Aperature in the "Sync Photos from" popup and got the following err message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
My iPhoto/Aperture libary easily opened again in Aperture but for the life of me I can not see a preference provision for previewing Aperture albums in anything other than iLife and iWork which was already enabled.
Perhaps Apple is a bit slow in upgrading the detail in their latest Aperture version or are simply screwing people who favor syncing well chosen albums on their iPad in lieu of using iCloud which would require a lot of extra redundant effort to recreate favorite albums so much more easily created in iPhoto/Aperature.

I was experiencing this exact same problem for days and none of the fixes I have found have worked for me, including the one listed here. Only un-installing Aperture allowed me to again sync my iPhoto albums individually again to my iPad2/iPhone4S. Even after re-generating the library for previews/thumbnails, as other posts have suggested to do in Aperture, I still could not see the option to select individual iPhoto Albums as it was greyed out in iTunes.
So here is the simple and odd fix that has just worked for me. When iTunes tells you: "Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications." Do just the opposite. In Aperture Preferences under Preview, with the dropdown after Share Previews with iLife and iWork: select NEVER.
Now if when you open iTunes again, and your option to select individual folders is still greyed out (as happened to me on occastion clearly) do this. Uncheck Sync Photos from iPhoto, select Keep Photos or not depending on what you want and then quit iTunes and DON'T APPLY changes. When you restart iTunes, you should now be able to select individual iPhoto albums.
I realize this doesn't give you options with syncing Aperture Projects, but hey, hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

Aperture 3 problems syncing to iPhone

I'm trying to sync "selected albums" from Aperture 3 in iTunes 9.0.3 and can't get the smart albums "In the last week" & "In the last month" to show any photos. They list 0 photos.
Furthermore every time I sync, iTunes automatically unchecks the "In the last month" selection.
Anyone have a fix? I tried rebuilding previews, thumbnails and deleting the "iPod Photo Cache."

Had same problem after upgrading to the great new Aperture 3.0
Have been on the phone with all the Aperture experts..to make the sync work with iPhone. To no avail.
They suggested building new database, etc. etc.
I believe I have now finally found the solution: 3.0 is 64 bits and you need to redo the prpcessing of all your images for iTunes to sync properly.
Try: "control click on project" in Aperture. In doalog box: Click on "reprocess masters"
Do this first with a small project as it take long.
Then try to sync with this project ONLY (unselect all others) and you will see that it will now sync with these processed pictures.
Also: keep Aperture open all night as it will process, without the above action in the background...
Hope this helps.

BUG: Photo sync with Aperture albums?

Hi, I think I have found a bug with how iTunes syncs photos across to my new (and until my number ports across, useless) iPhone. I posted this in a different discussion previously...
If you set it up that only selected Aperture albums are synced, like this;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album3
[tick] album4
then albums 2 and 4 are optimized and copied across.
However, if in Aperture you create a new album (by importing new photos, say) that appears in the list, e.g., between album2 and album3, then the ticks retain their spacial position, not their position relative to the album they are meant to sync;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album_new
[tick] album3
[ ] album4
So now, when you sync, album4 is deleted and album3 is placed on the phone - not what you would expect.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply.
That's strange... I am using leopard, with iTunes 7.5 and a brand new UK iPhone (so it has 1.1.2 already on it). It was essentially in 'virgin' state too; I had to return my 1st phone due to a tiny but annoying problem with it. I noticed the this after only a couple of syncs - when the sync was taking a while due to the photo optimizing step.
I will take another look tonight.
Thanks,
Tristan

Problem syncing photo from Aperture

I have a picture in my Aperture library (JPEG image) that displays OK in Aperture but when I sync the album to my iPhone, it appears as a black square. I have removed the entire album when syncing in iTunes, disconnected the phone, reconnected the phone to iTunes and ticked the box to add the album back to the phone. Still, the image in question is a black square.
I have also removed the photo from the Aperture album, quit Aperture, added the image back to the album and re-synced the phone but it still won't display properly.
Any ideas?

This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

Aperture Albums Selected for Sync Change

After adding an album or project in Aperture, the albums selected for sync in iTunes change.
Cross-post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1147308

I've been able to repeat this bug reliably: whenever I add an album that ends up listed before albums selected for sync in iTunes, the synced albums shift down (or the checkmark shifts up) one step in the album list in iTunes, rendering iTunes sync of Aperture albums pretty much useless.

Problems syncing iPad photos and Aperture

I think my iPod Photo database is corrupting for some reason as I keep getting intermittent problems syncing photos from Aperture across to my iPad.
Running Lion 10.7 on a Mac Mini with Aperture 3.1.3 and each time I get the error if I delete the iPod Photo folder it will do a full resync the next time I connect, but with over 5000 photos it takes some time.
Anyone had a similar problem or know why it might be doing it?
Thanks

From your words "syncing with my old iMac" it appears that you are now syncing to a different computer. What might work for directly imported photos (emailed, CCK, screen shots) is to connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on the iPad in the left part of iTunes and select the backup option. When that is complete then you right click and select transfer purchases. Then let iTunes erase the Ipad and replace it with the contents of iTunes on the new computer and then restore from backup
Photos synced to the iPad are not included in the backup and those will be lost unless you can get them from your original computer. However, there may be some third-part computer programs that can get the synced photos off the iPad.
For what are in backups see:

Syncing Aperture photos problem

I have just created an Aperture 3 library, and am trying to put some photos on my iPhone via iTunes.
In the Photos tab of iTunes, when I select Aperture the option to sync "selected albums" is greyed out...I can only select "all photos and albums".
With the iPhoto selected I can chose "selected albums".
Any ideas?
Thanks

Found the answer..."Selected Albums" option is not available until Aperture has finished building previews for the entire library.
