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 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 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:

Can't sync Aperture Photos with iPhone under iTunes 10

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 10 and when I go to the photos section under the iPhone sync options, I can select either sync all photos or sync selected projects under sync with iPhoto, but as soon as I select Aperture it greys out the selected projects option, and reports 0 photos in Aperture to sync at all. This also happened when iTunes9 was first released and magically fixed itself some months later. Does anyone know why my Aperture library no longer appears to iTunes10 and how can I get it to find it?
Cheers
Garry

I am having the same problem, I cannot select Projects if A3 is selected in iTunes. If All faces, albums and projects is selected the sync crashes almost immediately after starting the image routine.
1) Deleted the iPod data directory and files - no joy
2) Repaired, rebuilt database - no joy
3) Flipped sharing preference bit on, and off between program executions - no joy
4) Searched database for filenames with symbols in the file name. Found a couple - exported them from my project and deleted the masters - no joy
Then I noticed my facebook folders were syncing files DOWN from facebook and giving them very long filenames. Well, not long in the unix community - but upwards of 50 characters in length. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if this could be the culprit.
In any case - until this is run to ground I am unable to use my iPad for the primary purpose for which it was purchased - as a mobile display of my portfolio.
Going to sleep now - been up for 24 hours. I think I will try deleting my facebook folders completely (from facebook) and then will see what happens.

ITunes stopped syncing Aperture photos to my ATV and iPad

Out of the blue my iTunes has completely stopped syncing my Aperture photo library to both iPad and ATV devices. In iTunes the drop-down selection for iPhoto and Aperture is there but when I click sync nothing happens. My video, audio and apps all sync just fine. Any ideas?

That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

ITunes 10.5 fails to sync Aperture photos to iPad2 with iOS5

I have the latest iTunes (10.5), newest OS X (10.7.2) and updated Aperture (3.2). I was almost happy with my iPad2 64GB 3G with the 4.x firmware just a week ago, only now and then photos failed to sync, deselecting "sync photos" and that way removing pics from iPad2 allowed me to sync even newer pics back to iPad2. I almost felt "appleish". I am running 11" MBA with 256GB and keep my Aperture masters on an external drive.
Now iOS5 cripples my iPad2 as syncing photos messes up the whole sync process.
The iOS5 update failed the first time, surely for the overloaded servers. Second time the next day update went fine. But syncing photos failed. "Waiting for -something- to copy" (I am not using english as language) emerged time after time and I had to manually stop sync process or just shut down iTunes. I powered off iPad2. I took the USB cord off. I restarted Lion. I repaired Aperture permissions. I repaired HD permissions. I repaired Aperture Library. I trashed the Aperture "iPod cache". I again restored iPad2 to the bare basics without any apps, any photos, anything. Now I have the iOS5 working with just some apps. I tried to sync one smart photo folder at a time and got to eight totalling 20 000 pics and then the sync stalled again. Restored again and again took the iPad2 as a new device, now only four smart folders stalled the sync. No matter if I had my external drive connected or not.
This is crazy. Just like in the 1990's with a PC. Now I don't have any pics on my iPad2 and presenting pics was the number one reason for getting the whole thing.
I dare not to upgrade my iPhone 3GS should my phone get jammed the same way.
How can we get support?! This is not how Apple should be.

I have a fix (worked on my iPhone 3GS and iPad 1), but, since we're all having slightly different issues, I'm not super-confident that it will work for everybody.
I rebuilt my Aperture database, which did absolutely nothing. However, what it *did* do is finally let iTunes report accurately how many pictures it was *actually* syncing to my iPhone/iPad. Before, it claimed it was syncing all 17k of my photos, but in reality was only copying 9k - 11k. After the rebuild, however, iTunes showed that it would only be syncing 12k photos, and when looking at the counts next to the albums, I could see that in many albums it was only syncing 1 or 2 photos out of each whole album (of course, some albums copied in their entirety, and others were completely empty).
Since iTunes pulls Aperture's previews to copy images to iPhones and iPad, I deleted all of my Aperture library's previews, then re-updated all of them at "Fit within 1920px" size, which is the iPad's native preview image size....i.e. iTunes won't have to waste time "optimizing" photos if the Aperture previews are that size. Updating my entire library of previews took about 12 hours.
After trashing iPod Photo Cache yet again, I synced my iPad....but even though iTunes was now reporting the proper amount of images in my library (as well as each album), the actual sync only copied about 9k photos. Frustrated, I unchecked one random album that *hadn't* been copied, then synced again. Bizarrely, during that sync, another 6k photos transferred to my iPad....why, I have no idea. After the second sync, I re-checked my missing album and synced a third time....and this time, all of the missing photos copied.
I then imported some new images from my camera into Aperture and created a new album...this album synced to my iPad and iPhone with no problems whatsoever.
So, here are the steps, simplified:
1) Delete all previews from Aperture
2) Update all Aperture previews at 1920x size (I don't think the size matters, but it saves optimizing time during the iTunes sync)
3) Sync your iDevice with all of your desired photos/albums/events checked.
4) Sync again with one album unchecked.
5) Sync again with that album re-checked.
Note: iTunes has a history of this type of behavior. Previously, I've seen iTunes sync large libraries in batches...i.e. it will display "Copying x of 9000", then "Copying x of 3000" when copying 12k photos, for example. For some reason it's only syncing one batch at a time in 10.5. Good luck!

Problem syncing stacked photos

I have the latest iTunes and Photoshop Elements 4.0. I've created collections in Photoshop and I'm trying to sync the collections to my iPod. iTunes only sync's photos that are NOT stacked. Thus if I have a collection of 50 photos, but 40 of them are part of a stack, only the remaining 10 photos sync to the iPod.
I have thousands of photos in Photoshop, and stacking is an important organzation feature for me. I don't want to unstack them just so that I can sync them to my iPod.
I'd like to use the collections as a way to sync a subset of photos and keep them logically organized on my iPod. (I don't want to sync ALL photos)
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Figured it out. Somehow the extension changed from JPEG to JPG. Changing it back sloved the problem.

Problem synching aperture photos with iPad/iPhone ios8

Updated to Yosemite. Attempting to sync select photos (Aperture) with iPad Air (ios8) or iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1) with iTunes. When I click Photos in the left-hand column of iTuns I get is an endless loading loop icon in the middle of the screen. No option to select Aperture or the albums, etc. What's going on? Thanks, Bruce

Just two edits
1/ Sync works with the new Photos app.
2/ iTunes does display Apertures folder / project tree in the photos sync section (allowing you to pick what to sync) yet does NOT display the corresponding number of pictures

Problems syncing new photos

Just tried - several times - to sync new photos from PC to iPhone and they are not showing up on my iphone! Help! never had this problem with my iphone 3 but my iphone 4 seems to have all sorts of teething problems. Any advice would be gratefully received.

It's the ios4 that's causing this problem. It's happening on my 3gs too. If you look under wallpapers you will find your photos there.
Hit the home button twice to bring up the multitask bar. Find the photo app, keep your finger on the app for a few seconds until the red - appears. Hit the red - to close the photo app. Hit the home button once more to go back to your home page. Then open the photo app again and your photos should be there.

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.

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...

I have a problem syncing my photos....please help

I have been using my ipad for quite a while without syncing. I hooked up to a new computer yesterday and did a sync. this jhappened q few times whilst i was messing about. I had 1500 photos on my ipad which were transferred across ( i think ) but now my ipad has put everything into mini folders on the albums page and in many of them i have only blank tiles. I have an error message saying ' iTunes Sync Needed, High resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer you sync photos from and launch iTunes to sync them.'
My big problem is that i have looked in my Pictures folder and they are not on my computer.
Where have they gone? I have not deleted them and they are showing on my ipday albeit as blank photos with this error message.
Please help someone. Pictures of my daughters birth and special family holidays all seem to have disappeared. I don't have any other copies.
Please someone advise.
Thanks,
Richard

Photos that you take with the iPad camera do not transfer when you sync. You have to import them to the computer. When you sync with a new computer, that should erase the iPad unless you set it up properly before you sync.
How did the photos that you cannot find get onto the iPad?

Problem syncing large photo library

I have a iPad 64GB and cannot sync my iPhoto library of 7000 photos. It syncs then states then when I select the photos on the ipad it hands saying "updating library" then crashes.
The library syncs fine to my iPhone and everything else seems to work - I also have plenty of space left on the iPad. Wierdly I can see and choose all the photos when I goto choose the background images but just cannot access them through the photo app.
Any ideas?

I have one iPhoto library with around 7000 photos, filled in different Albums (around 250) within other folders in iPhoto.
I have tried resetting the iSync history, deleting the iPad iPhoto cache, resetting the iPad etc etc. I have tried to delete any corrupt looking photos and have managed to import the whole iPhoto library to the iPad by selecting to sync it when all the photos are placed in one folder.
I run an art gallery and have different folders for each artist's work. iPhoto is a fantastic tool for this and I have found the iPhone invaluable for showing clients paintings - the iPad should be even better. So it is crucial for me to keep the folders. I have now managed to sync all the folders (and photos) by placing all my artist albums in one folder and selecting that to sync. This works. But what doesn't work is when I select the default, and just sync the entire iPhoto library with Events et al. Then it crashes whilst the Photos App is "Updating Library" after the sync. Then I am left with a malfunctioning iPad which keeps reseting with the Apple logo and spinning wheel inside.
So I have found a work around but it is not exactly perfect - very annoying. Especially as my crappy iPhone 3GS syncs perfectly and can handle all of the folders .....although admittedly not the Events. I wonder if it is the Events that are the problem?

Syncing Aperture Photos with iPhoto

I recently noticed that not all of the photos in an Aperture "smart album" were syncing with iPhoto. Out of about 400 photos, only 15 were syncing. I think I found out why. It seems that if I have selected "only show recent projects" in the top of the projects tab in Aperture, only the photos which are in shown projects will sync with iPhoto. When I go into the smart album in Aperture, all of the photos show up just fine even when I am only showing new projects, but when I go into iTunes and check off the smart album, it lists only a 15 photos (the photos in the albums that are currently showing).
Did I just discover a bug? Does anybody else notice this strange behavior? I find it odd that when I am only showing recent albums that this would prevent older photos in a smart album from syncing.
Has anybody found a workaround for this?

Problem syncing some photos to I Pad 2

Hi,
I have tried to sync approx 450 photos to my I pad. However of the 450 approx only 390 have synced. All of the photos were taken within a week (holiday).
Some photos taken on the same, day of which some have synced and some not. I have been through the basics and picked the folders etc I wish to sync but no joy. I did notice that the problem photos had a different date in 'photo info' This was due to a change of battery in camera and not resetting current time and date. I have reset the time and date on all photos yet still the same 60 will not sync. Camera used is a fuji f610.
Any ideas would be much appreciated,
Gary

I am having the same problem. Some albums copied over to my ipad. Of a total 7241 pictures only 1971 synced over to my ipad. I did go to itunes preference>devices>and checked prevent autosync. Then checked the albums that did not sync and tried to sync again. I still have not had any results. Hopefully someone can answer both of our issues at the same time.
