Re-syncing iPhone with iPhoto

My iMac's hard drive recently died. I've managed to re-sync most everything as it was. However, when I sync with iPhoto all my photos are listed as events and do not have their own folder. I'm speaking of the folder that looks like the flower Photo icon on iPhone that used to be in my iPhoto.
I've tried making a new folder called "photos" but with no luck.
What can I do to get that folder back without all my photos being Events?

However, after my hard drive was replaced I was able to get all my apps and pictures off my iPhone and back onto my Mac with no problem.
This is easy for apps along with any other iTunes content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store. iTunes includes an option for doing this at File > Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This transfers iTunes content from your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
This does not transfer photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, or any photos in your iPhone's Photo Library which is where all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored.
If this is in reference to photos in your iPhone's Photo Library - the transfer of these photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone, so how did you transfer these photos in the opposite direction?
And since photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process, which reduces the original resolution of these photos on your iPhone, the original resolution of these photos is lost when transferring these photos in the opposite direct with a non-supported 3rd party utility that provides for this.
Now there when I sync with iPhoto there is no folder at all. It just dumps all photos into iPhoto as separate events.
Are you referring to importing photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with iPhoto? If so, this is an import process as with any other digital camera, not a sync. Photos imported by iPhoto are imported into the main iPhoto Library and with the current iPhoto version, photos imported from a digital camera are also placed in Events that are automatically created by iPhoto based on the date of the imported photos. All photos in iPhoto are stored in iPhoto's main photo library. There are Events which include a pointer to the original photos located in the main iPhoto library, and you can create iPhoto albums which also include a pointer to the original photos located in the main iPhoto Library. You can't have a photo in an iPHoto Event, Album, or Faces unless the photo is in the main iPhoto Library - just as you can't have a song in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your main iTunes library.
I'm just asking if there is a way to get the iPhone photo folder back into iPhoto.
You can create a new iPhoto Event or a new iPhoto Album.

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!! 

  • Can't synch iPhone with iPhoto

    I've been trying to sync the pictures on my iPhone with iPhoto but I keep getting a pop-up message that says:m"Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait while import is complete. " Unfortunately nothing else happens....I can't update my iPhone to the new iOS because I don't have enough memory (the file takes up too much space anyway) and...Help!

    Launch iTunes. Menu. iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom. Then connect the iPhone, get the photos and after you disconnect uncheck that box.

  • I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

    I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

  • ITunes still not syncing correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3

    Since upgrading to version 9.4.x, iTunes hasn't been syncing correctly with iPhoto. There were duplicated events/albums, missing photos, photos not appearing in the same order on iOS devices as they do in iPhoto, etc.
    With each version upgrade since 9.4, this seems to have been improving bit by bit. I have just upgraded to 9.4.3, and now photos appear in the same order as they do in iPhoto. The only problem left for me, is that there are still photos missing in iTunes. Which photos that are missing seems to be completely random.
    I have tried rebuilding the library, which made matters a lot worse. Using 3rd party software like iPhoto library manager to rebuild the library didn't help either (iTunes syncing became a total mess, even more photos were missing afterwards).
    I hope by version 9.4.4, iTunes will read all info correctly from iPhoto again, as it did in version 9.3.2. Anyone else still experience problems?

    Sorry about that. Well, I've tried deleting the AlbumData.xml file as suggested also, but iPhoto itself generates a new file every time it's opened, so that's really a dead end. Rebuilding the library and through iPhoto Library Manager are the steps that required most work, and both did not work either, unfortunately.
    I do believe that I'm not the only experiencing iTunes syncing problem, as there have been many posts here before when 9.4 came out. Like I wrote, it has been better with each upgrade, so there's definitely something in the coding with 9.4.x that messes things up. I had no trouble whatsoever with version 9.3.2 and prior to that.

    Library size is not part of this issue. 12k photos is not a large library these days, I have one four times that size with no syncing issues.

    Recently upgraded PC with latest edition of iTunes (1/30/2014), afterwards, received this error message while attempting to sync iphone with PC: Unable to load, resource not found, SyncUICoreLocalized.dll

    THIS HAS EVERY APPEARANCE OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH BY APPLE ... So first suggestion is NOT to begin reinstalling various software but to await some answer & fix from Apple.  Too many have same problem on various systems, in my view (I am not an Apple rep but have certainly faced many glitches over the years).
    PS - LOTS of Apple software problems these days, including many people having their Contacts shredded.  What's going on with Apple?

    TQ & sorry for pour English.

    How do I make this 2 location itunes with a single data.
    You can't, as this has never been a feature of any iPhone. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync or manually manage iTunes content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer. Pick one computer & stick with that computer.

    You'll need to create a new, temporary library and import into that with the option to delete from your iPhone. Then delete the library and go back to your current library.
