Problems syncing large number of photos while choosing all photos option

I have 17,800 photos and have experienced problems with trying to sync in iTunes since release day 1.
If I choose to sync using the all photos option, the iPad will reboot during synch and appears to finish. Ipad will become unresponsive and hang with the apple logo on screen and a hard reset will then be required.
Then when trying to launch photo app in iPad it displays "updating library" for a minute or 2 and then photo app crashes back to home screen.
Have tried many options in trying to solve this including restore iPad software, deleting photo cache in iTunes, rebuilding iTunes library, etc.
Only solution I have found was to break down my 17,800 photos into events and choose to synch events instead of the all photos option and that works, getting all 17,800 photos into iPad. Photos take about 5.8 gb of storage.
There is definitely a problem with iTunes here in synching large number of photos using the all photos option and I have reported this to AppleCare support via two support calls. There does not appear to be a awareness of this issue in tech supports knowledge base and I am surprised to that there are not a large number of incidents reported as there are a few discussions started here on the issues of photo sync.
Hopefully this post will help others with the same issue.

Solved problem of synching iPad with desktop containing large photo library (20,000 photos): In summary, solution was to rename, copy and live iPHoto Library to XHD and reduce size of library on home (desktop) drive.
In the home directory, rename "iPhoto Library" to "iPhoto Global" (or any other name you want), and copy into an external hard drive via simple drag and drop method.
Then, go back to the newly renamed iPhoto Global and rename it again, to iPhoto 2010. Now, open iPhoto by holding down the Alt/Option key and opening iPhoto. This provides option to choose library iPhoto 2010. Open the library, and eliminate every photo before 2010. This got us down to a few thousand photos and a much smaller library. Synch this smaller library with the iPad.
Finally, I suggest downloading a program "iPhoto Library Manager" and using this to organize and access the two libraries you now have (which could be 2, 10 or however many different libraries you want to use.) The iPhoto program doesn't want you to naturally have more than one library, but a download called iPhoto Library Manager allows user to segregate libraries for different purposes (eg. personal, work, 2008, 2009, etc.). Google iPhoto Library Manager, download, and look for links to video tutorials which were very helpful.
I did not experience any problems w/ iPhoto sequencing so can't address that concern.
Good luck!

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Does this involve iPhoto in some way?

TS1702 how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

I have a large number of photos I'd like to delete from my ipad 2 however from reading previous comments it seems I have to unsync from the original source computer. I'm in another country now and don't have access to it. Is there another way?

You should be able to do this via the iPad directly. Open the Photos application and the forward arrow, then select all of the photos you want to delete and click the red delete button.

Selecting large number of photos

I have recently installed ilife 08. When I am in an event and want to select a large number of photos, I click on the first one and try to scroll down. When I stop scrolling, the screen jumps back to the first photo, making it very hard to select them all. Anyone else encountered this and know why?

Usually I find that when I want new events the photos I want to use are at the end of the event -- if you start up from the bottom until you find the first photo you want in the new event select it and click split -- that photo and all below it will now be in a new untittled event. You can continue on up the event and do this multiple times if needed.
If this does not do it select some of the photos you want in the new event and click new event. This will give you a new event with some photos in it - then go back to the original event and select more photos and cut them then paste them into the new event - repeat as necessary to complete the "move"

Help in sharing a large number of photos?

I am looking for a reasonably quick way of sharing a large number of photos with other members of my church as well as on other occasions family and friends.
The photos are all loaded onto my iPad at their original resolution and are high quality .jpegs taken with a Nikon DSLR (D7000).
I would prefer to use something "cloud" based rather than a commercial enterprise if possible but don't know how to do it.
Can someone give me some suggestions? I am a long time PC user and am pretty adept at Windows but a stymied by the Apple system, particularly my inability, seemingly to really delete individual photos without finding them all over again somewhere else on the iPad. Delete "everywhere" seems not to be quite accurate to describe what happens.
Thanks for helping me out.

Try sharing it via photostream. It makes a link so people with non iOS devices can view them all you do is forware it to their emails........
heres a link for photstream. Good luck!
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
Follow the steps below to create a shared photo stream. Note that you cannot share all the photos in My Photo Stream at one time. However, you can select images from it to create a shared photo stream.
On your device using iOS 6:
From the Home screen, tap Photos.
Tap the Photo Stream tab. (Note: You can also share images from your Camera Roll or an album in your Camera Roll. Tap the Albums tab, then tap Camera Roll or an Album. Continue with steps 4-7 below.)
Tap My Photo Stream, then tap Edit.
Tap each photo you'd like to add to the shared photo stream. A check mark will appear on selected photos. Tap Share.

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?

Bogging down with large number of photos

I have over 115,000 (give or take a few 1000) photos in iPhoto at present. I primarily use it to organize photos so I can find them, make slideshows, and hope to eventually make photo books - they're our family history for the past 7 years or so. My iPhoto library is about 155 GB.
I'm running this on the iMac - bought a couple of months ago. 4GB RAM with a 1T HD.
My main grumble is that whenever iPhoto is open, my iMac bogs down. I frequently see the spinning wheel, beach ball, or whatever it's called, particularly when I have the iPhoto to the front and it's just starting up... (plus other times).
A local Mac person thought that if I moved to Aperture, it would handle this number of photos much better... I've never much looked at Aperture before, so I'm not sure... About 2+ years ago, I had PCs and used Adobe Photoshop Elements - loved the organizer, and the level of editing power was just about right.... These days, I have next to no time for any editing except the occasional red-eye, but I can enjoy doing it on occasion (mostly swapping out backgrounds, making collages, etc).
What could I do to improve things???

iPhoto is rated for 250,000 images and while you've a way to go just yet that is still a very big library.
With Libraries of that size I would expect a slowness loading or quitting, though not in normal use - viewing, organizing and so on.
You may be able to speed up launching by turning off all automatic syncing - looking for Shared Libraries, Checking with Mobile Me etc in the Preferences.
Aperture is indeed a Professional application, but I would caution that there is less value in it if you're not shooting Raw and that there is a learning curve in using it. You can download a free trial of Aperture [here|http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial>
You can have multiple libraries in iPhoto, however the downside is that you can only have one open at a time.
If you opt to go that way then to create a library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and use the same keystroke to Choose between Libraries.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Change transaction using BDC-problem for large number of lines on screen

Hi All,
I am developing BAPI (using BDC) which creates quality notification in SAP which is entered via front end web application. Structure p_qmsm contain 3 lines of task in notification. The code is as given below. To avoid problem of large no of lines on screen,code lines starting with * is used. This actually for pagedown after entering every 2 lines and creates new line. so that 2 lines always push up on screen and there will not be problem for creating large no of lines on screen
perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLIQS0' '7200'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE' '=10\TAB11'.
LOOP AT p_qmsm INTO wa_qmsm.
*IF wa_qmsm_cntr > 2.
       wa_qmsm_cntr = 2.
       perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLIQS0'                   '7204'.
       perform bdc_field   using 'BDC_OKCODE'                 '=PEND'.
ENDIF.
perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLIQS0' '7204'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE' '/00'.

CALL TRANSACTION 'IQS2' USING wt_bdc
MODE 'N' UPDATE 'A' MESSAGES INTO P_MESSTAB.
The same code is used in modify mode also. web application is sending all 3 lines in modify mode even if single line is modified. It is already decided to send all rows back from web application to SAP in same sequence. It is working fine if i comment 5 lines which is starting with *. But in modify mode, how can i ensure that correct row is modified? and how can i achieve problem of large no of lines on screen?Please suggest?

Hi yogesh,
how can i ensure that correct row is modified?
1. For this we need to know two things ;
   a) the database table in which the entries are already stored
   b) the sequence in which they are displayed in the transaction.
2. So before changing any line, we need to compare (the primary key values / important values)
   a) as per the database table and as per the incoming data from web application (using bapi)
b) if the match is ok, it means that particular row was not modified, else modified.
how can i achieve problem of large no of lines on screen?
1. For this I am not sure about the transaction and its screen. Manytimes for appending row on the screen,
there is a PLUS + button on the grid toolbar. So for every entry, (inspite of some empty/filled rows already visible on the screen), we should use the + button, and this new row always appears on the top i.e. row number 1.
hope this helps.
regards,
amit m.

When syncing large database of photos (107,000 photos) constituting nearly 35GB, itunes takes forever on "importing photos" even if i select only 1 folder of 10 images. Windows 7, IPAD Air both latest versions. photo library is on my local internal HD .

i tried selecting a folder with less than 50 photos as my source, importing photos phase still takes longer than what sounds normal for such a small number of photos, but the job is done nevertheless.
But what is worth noting, is that even if i run another pass of sync without touching the photos section (i.e. neither adding nor deleting any photo from the previous sync) it still takes the same amount of time on the "importing photos" phase.
when i select the actual photo library folder as my source (the one containing the 107,000 photos); at that point even selecting a subfolder in it that contains merely 10 photos generates the same dilemma.
i tried photoshop elements, spent like 4 hours building my library there, hoping that if i select it as the source in the photo tab in itunes, things would work out for the better, i was mistaken!
at this point am really out of options, and need some serious help.
few extra diagnostic infos:
the above manifests even on other devices like my iphone5.
the computer used is not exactly top notch but works for my Autocad drawings, i figure it should suffice for itunes (Dell Pentium D 3.19Ghz, 4GB Ram, 3TB HD, running windows 7 (32bit) ultimate)
the above persists when i sync wirelessly (not a USB bug issue)
please any help is appreciated, if you need further details, kindly let me know

IPhoto 9.5.1 face recognition slow with large number of photos ( 20,000)

I have a new fast Imac with new Iphoto 9.5.1. I have >20,000 photos. When I use face recognition with people who have >50 photos associated with them, the rolling ball continues for 20-40 seconds. I didn't have this with the same number of photos with my old Imac2009 with Iphoto 9.4.3, 2011.
Thanks.

That is probably still the initial setup for face recognition for you new iPhoto version. Once the "Faces" database has been rebuild, the performance should get better. Give it a day or two. If the problem persists, back up your iPhoto library and rebuild it.
Hold down the key combination alt/option- command ⌥⌘ firmly and double click the iPhoto library to launch the First Aid Tools. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the First Aid Panel. Select the entry "Rebuild Database" from the panel and click "Rebuild".

Problem fetch large number of records

Hi
I want to fetch large number of record from database.and I use secondary index database for improve performance for example my database has 100000 records and query fetch 10000 number of records from this database .I use secondary database as index and move to secondary database until fetch all of the information that match for my condition.but when I move to this loop performance terrible.
I know when I use DB_MULTIPLE fetch all of the information and performance improves but
I read that I can not use this flag when I use secondary database for index.
please help me and say me the flag or implement that fetch all of the information all to gether and I can manage this data to my language
thanks alot
regards
saeed

Hi Saeed,
Could you post here your source code, that is compiled and ready to be executed, so we can take a look at the loop section ?
You won't be able to do bulk fetch, that is retrieval with DB_MULTIPLE given the fact that the records in the primary are unordered by master (you don't have 40K consecutive records with master='master1'). So the only way to do things in this situation would be to position with a cursor in the secondary, on the first record with the secondary key 'master1' retrieve all the duplicate data (primary keys in the primary db) one by one, and do the corresponding gets in the primary database based on the retrieved keys.
Though, there may be another option that should be taken into consideration, if you are willing to handle more work in your source code, that is, having a database that acts as a secondary, in which you'll update the records manually, with regard to the modifications performed in the primary db, without ever associating it with the primary database. This "secondary" would have <master> as key, and <std_id>, <name> (and other fields if you want to) as data. Note that for every modification that your perform on the std_info database you'll have to perform the corresponding modification on this database as well. You'll then be able to do the DBC->c_get() calls on this database with the DB_MULTIPLE flag specified.
I have other question.is there any way that fetch information with number of record?
for example fetch information that located third record of my database.I guess you're refering to logical record numbers, like the relational database's ROW_ID. Since your databases are organized as BTrees (without the DB_RECNUM flag specified) this is not possible directly.You could perform this if use a cursor and iterate through the records, and stop on the record whose number is the one you want (using an incrementing counter to keep track of the position). If your database could have operated with logical record numbers (BTree with DB_RECNUM, Queue or Recno) this would have been possible directly:

Aperture to Lightroom move, super large number of photos and videos

Hi everyone. I am moving my photo and video collection from Aperture libraries to Lightroom. Editing is so much better in lightroom, but with image organization I run in into tons of problems. The biggest one is size. I have around 500,000 photos and videos. I have only imported 7,000 and preview catalogs are getting huge, 16Gbs right now. Would love suggestions on large photo/video storage management.

Just one thing for now: preview data size is controlled by automatically expiring 1:1 previews (or manually deleting them), and making sure standard previews are no larger than necessary - they can be medium or "low" (not that low) quality, and do not need to be larger than your monitor size (and can be substantially smaller, if preview storage is a primary concern). Also, note: previews can be relocated to another disk if the one where the catalog has to be isn't big enough - just make a link in the catalog folder to where the previews will actually be - not recommended except as a last resort: generally better to get a bigger drive (or relocate entire catalog folder) if possible..
PS - Don't make 1:1 previews upon import unless you really need them.
