Problems syncing selected photos

Can someone please please please help me....????
I'm trying to sync photos to the ipad but am having a real problem, for some reason the 'selected folders' tab doesn't highlight and I can only select the 'all folders' tab and then when I try and select a folder it only allows me to pick one folder, I hope that this makes sense...???
Oh and can you please make your answer quite simple as I am a newbie and a total technaphobe ....!!!

You can only select one folder as your sync folder. If you have multiple folders, you can make subfolders, but only one level of those. Below is a detailed procedure for doing this on a Windows machine;
For windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
Hope this helps...

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

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 selected photos to iPod?

Hi
Have just bought an 80GB iPod Classic and my 17 GB music collection is on there no problem.
While there's room for my 27 GB iPhoto collection I simply don't want them all on there.
How do I get selected photos on there? Can I, for example, set it to sync only the photos with 3 or 4 stars?
Thanks

In iPhoto you can create photo albums or smart albums. Once you did that, you can ask iTunes to sync only those albums instead of the entire photo library.

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.

Can't select sync selected photo albums

In the Apple TV photo tab of iTunes I cannot get the "sync selected albums etc button" to be highlighted(ungreyed). I've been doing this successfully for 2 years and now I cannot.

what sort of itunes/appletv connection have to configured ?
you can only sync photos when connected as a primary connection (with sync options for video/music etc).
if you are connected via a shared connection (ie can only stream music/video) then you can only stream photos.

Can't Sync selected photos

When I connect my iPod to my Mac, and try to sync Photos, it only allows me to sync my whole iPhoto library, the buttons for selected folders are greyed out. I can't click on selected folders and drag to the iPod either. Help?

This is not the most common type of fix but I accidentally stumbled across it.
I connected the iPad directly to a usb port on the computer and then restarted the computer (without disconnecting the iPad). When I opened up iTunes, the device was recognized and the sync photos from iPhoto options were both available. I was able to sync selected albums and it worked. Hope it works for you.

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.

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?

HT4236 Trouble syncing selected photos from iMac to iPhone 4s.

In iTunes I can get to the screen " Sync photos from iLibrary". The button is hit for "all photos, albums, events and faces". Unable to click on "Selected albums, events and faces". Prefer not to download my entire iLibrary. Any thoughts out there?

I had this problem too. The problem was in songs, that were on playlist, but not in library itself. This had happened by importing playlist from files sometimes in the past (I didnt know, they will not appear in Music, but only in playlist itself). The solution is to select all songs in the playlist (in iTunes) and drag it to the library (Music). Songs will resync again and will be present on iPhone on next sync. Hope this will help with your problem too.
Cheers

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?

I'm having problems syncing some photos in my iphoto library.

Some of my photos sync but others do not. All photos were downloaded to Iphoto from two different cameras. I have selected several folders and events to sync but out of 1300 photos only 800 sync. I have plenty of space on the I Pad and have emptied the cache as the help screen suggested.

You deleted the iPod Photo Cache folder according to these intructions? If not, try this.

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 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.
