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

Sync problems with iPhoto & iPhone through iTunes.

I can not sync my iPhoto with my iPhone through iTunes. Error (-50) ?
on my new laptop, I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5.1 and opened a library that I had backed-up from my previous laptop.
iTunes refuses to sync photos with my iphone. It gts stuck on the "import" step.
I tried rebuilding the library, but it did not solve the issue.

In that case, repair your original iPhoto library:
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and repair the library.
If that does not help, quit iPhoto, back up your iPhoto Library, and remove the iPod Photo cache, if there is such a folder, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If all fails, back up the iPhoto Library and rebuild it as described by Old Toad:
Re: iPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them.

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

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.

I'm attempting to sync several albums from itunes to iphoto. When select to sync all albums it copies over the previous recorded album. I tried to sync the Albums individually and the same thing happens. Any ideas on how to sync my albums?

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location. Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu. How do I fix this?

When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
Click to view full size
All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

Can no longer sync aperture events through iTunes to ipad3

I can no longer sync aperture events through iTunes with ipad3. Mavericks/Aperture 3.5.1/ IOS 7.0.4
Have tried deleting Iphoto cache from Aperture Library.
Worked once.
Itunes will sync a folder of images onto Ipad with sync.
But will no longer extract events from Aperture library.
Was hoping tonights Aperture fix grade in conjunction with IOS upgrade would repair issue.
No luck. Help?

I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

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.

HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.

Syncing selective Albums through iCloud Photo Library?

Hello, I would like to know whether there is a way to sync selective Albums through iCloud Photo Library? For example, I want album A and B to show on my iPhone but want to see all albums on my Mac. Is this possible?

I don't think so... looking to do this myself...

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet.
