Selected albums, Events....grayed out during sync

Little history...Had an older Macbook (the black one) that finally died....replaced with a new MacBook Pro today....restored old "blacky" content from a Time Machine restore....opened iPhoto and it required an updater (iPhoto Library Upgrader) to be ran...iPhoto seems to work perfectly after update...I can connect my iPhone 5 and create new events and copy pics from phone to iPhoto Library..... but when I attempt to sync with iTunes the "select albums, Events...." option is grayed out...I deleted slideshows (suggestion from another thread, addressing & in a xml string) to no avail....posting here as consensus Ive read its usually something to do with iPhoto
...iTunes is current as is iPhoto....any help would be appreciated....

Can you access the iPhoto Library from any other apps? Word Processors? Mail? etc?

  • "Copy Selected Albums" Option Grayed Out for Synchronizing Photos--Help!!

    I purchased a 60GB Video iPod a week ago. I cannot get it to sync my photos. When I select "Synchronize photos from iPhoto," the option to "Copy all photos and albums" is selected and the option to "Copy Selected Albums" is grayed out. If I try to sync all the albums, I get an Error -50. I can, however, copy & sync photos by selecting my Pictures folder (either all folders or selected folders). But, that won't give me my photos organized by album in iPhoto.
    I rebuilt the iPhoto database and deleted/trashed preferences. No help. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Apple has been no help and I have searched and searched these forums over many days, with no success.

    I had this problem after I imported a bunch of photos. I narrowed it down and found that two of my pictures had the word "photo" in the filename, example(photo003.jpg and photo004.jpg). I deleted these files and the "copy selected ablums" was available again.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Unable to choose "Selected albums, events and faces..." when Syncing photo

    I am unable to choose "Selected albums, events and faces ..." from the Photos tab when syncing my iPhone. There are several albums set up in my iPhoto but the only choice I am allowed to make is "All photos, albums and faces". The other choice is grayed out.
    My iPhoto version is 8.1.1 and my iTunes version is 9.0.2 and OSX is 10.6.2.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?
    Thanks

    Hello - I had the exact same problem that you had. Looking through various discussion sites, the problem seems to be in the Albumdata.xml file in my iPhoto Library. (Visible through Pictures/iPhoto_LIbrary then by selecting "show package contents" through the right click.) When that file is corrupted, iTunes is unable to see albums, events, etc.
    I'm guessing that the song for one of my slideshows in iPhoto had a song that had an "&" in it, because when I deleted the slideshow, the problem was solved. This also happened with another user in another discussion forum that I looked through - in his case, he just changed the song. (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=355813) Hope this helps.

  • TA22992 Trying to sync new photos from iphoto withou having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already try "selected albums, events, etc" no

    Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

    If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
    You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

  • ITunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out.

    iTunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out.  I have a number of groups in my Contacts for different mobile phones.  After updating iTunes and the OS I can not click on Selected groups.  Does anyone know how to make this available?

    Best I’ve been able to figure out via trying and searching:
    It appears only groups in a cloud service can be selected, so if one doesn’t have iCloud groups or groups on some other supported cloud service, the option is grayed out.
    Big Brother wants it all.
    Fortunately I don’t need many contacts on my iOS device since I use it little.
    But it’s still annoying to be locked out ’cause me try to avoid Big Brother much as possible.
    What a world!

  • Itunes is grayed out using sync

    When I attempt to Sync my device with iTunes, the screen within iTunes is grayed out.  I cannot select any items from the iPhone.  Please help.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.
    Regards.

  • Why is my "selected calendars" button grayed out?

    I have trouble syncing my calendars so I would like to see if I can sync a brand new calendar So I created one in Outlook but itunes doesn't let me pick it. The "selected calendars" button is grayed out and it doesn't display the different calendars. I am on Windows XP running Outlook 2007.
    Have already tried every possible fix I could find on apple.com and google to fix my calendar sync problems.
    Without the calendar, this is a really expensive toy to me

    I figured out my problem. See my solution.

  • Why are the aps grayed out when syncing my iPhone?

    When trying to sync my wife's iphone with my iMac, the aps on her iphone are grayed out and the phone will not sync,
    even though all the aps on her phone are the same as the ones in my iMac.

    OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
    What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

  • Select Modify Contract Grayed Out

    Mac OSX 10.7
    PS CS5
    Okay, I know this has been posted before and I've read 4 or 5 threads with no resolve for me. The problem is that after using my select all, or using the marquee tool (tried both ways) to draw the selection my contract option is still grayed out it (like most everyone else has said). Only difference is, it was WORKING fine 30 min ago, I've used it many times while working on numerous documents and now all of the sudden it wont work on anything. I havn't made any changes to any prefs, but maybe I hit a hotkey and locked something? I remember when my define pattern was grayed out, I read a post where I clicked one simple option and voila it was back to normal...something with a spacebar shortcut I think? Too long ago to remember, anyways I was hoping there might be an option for this. I know the work arounds and use them from time to time, but I really would like for shortcut to be normal again

    In CS5, if you chose Select > Select All or had the selection touching the border, the Select > Modify Commands were unavailable.
    This issue is solved with today's (10/6/14) release of Photoshop CC 2014 contains a "Apply Effect at Canvas Bounds" option for the follow features:
    Select > Modify > Smooth...
    Select > Modify > Expand...
    Select > Modify > Contract...
    Select > Modify > Feather...
    Users now have the option to have these commands apply to an entire selection or just the portion of the selection that is not touching the canvas bounds with the "Apply effect at canvas bounds" checkbox.
    The checkbox option is remembered for each, individual selection modification option. The checkbox default is "off" on first launch and with preferences deleted.
    With the "Apply effect at canvas bounds" checkbox ON, the behavior is equivalent to Photoshop CS3 behavior.
    Thank you for your feedback!

  • No sound when video chatting - 'microphone enabled' grayed-out during chat

    Recently, whenever I video chat there is no sound on the other end. 'Microphone enabled' is grayed out. It is not grayed-out when I am not video chatting. All sound preferences appear to be set correctly. This problem just appeared recently.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi
    Would tend to work towards deleting that file as part of a process.
    The original reply was quite long in the first place and trying to incorporate more "If that does not work... " statements I felt would only make it more confusing.
    com.apple.ichat.plist
    This holds all the info in the iChat Preferences except the Accounts pane stuff.
    It also holds the results of a hardware check at each iChat Launch which includes checking the Internet Speed available and re-writing the .plist accordingly.
    The Hardware Check also reads some info from the System Profiler info (at least the same places System Profiler gathers it's info).
    This means if the System Profiler would not be able to "See" a Mic or a camera then any App cannot either.
    Some of this info is held in the PRAM memory as are some volume settings and resetting the PRAM may have helped.
    The reason I hold off suggesting the Deletion of the .plist is that it does hold so much info especially if you have changed the settings:-
    Any Changes to the Font, it's colour, the background of the IM colour in Messages.
    As Messages also show you any Background Pic you have for Text chats that gets deleted even though set in a Menu item
    The Overrides of incoming IMs
    Save Transcripts and and sub items
    Which Mic is selected in the Drop down in the Video Section. Same for Output choices if you have them (and cameras if you have two attached).
    The Menu Bar icon and it's sub items in the General section.
    Changing to Available at iChat Launch.
    In the alerts section anything you have set to a Different sound or to have an Apple Script activated.
    As the above can be set individually in the Buddy list (Highlight a Buddy and then do a Get Info (CMD+I keys) and Alert tab) you also lose those settings.
    Several menu choices such as Enabling Screen Sharing (Video Menu) and the Show items in the View Menu, plus the Message style (Sub menu item in the View Menu).
    These are what I consider to be the more important changes/losses deleting the .plist involves as I have changes in most of them.
    Obviously not everyone does the same and the effect for you may be less involved.
    It is hard to pinpoint the .plist itself as the item that is corrupt as it reads so many things from other sources.
    It is possible that it is not getting written to after an update for some reason.
    Upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard can leave some iChat 4 info in there. Mostly these are just floating bits of info at this point, but can contain the path to reading something that got moved in the OS Upgrade.
    At the end of the day, like any other bit of info on your computer, it can get given erroneous info. This is most like to occur if iChat is subject to a Force Quit or suffers an Unexpected Quit or a particular chat fails dramatically.
    There have been no updates to iChat since OS 10.6.3 when it got updated to iChat version 5.0.3 so I don't see it as an "update" issue.
    Summary.
    It can be anything that causes it.
    Of any changes to the OS then an Upgrade may be more likely.
    Deleting the .plist is best reserved as a last resort as it holds so much info about settings you may have changed.
    I have given you a list of many of the things that get changed.
    It is most likely caused by some other info that the .plist has read into it by the iChat Launch.
    Hope this explains things a bit further.
    That's not to say that sometimes someone may post with enough info and clues to what they have done so far to suggest deleting it straight off.

  • "Device timed out" during sync

    I'm running Windows XP SP2, iTunes 7.5, and iPod software 1.1.2 and I keep getting this error message when trying to sync my new Touch. It worked fine on my old 3rd Gen iPod. I have USB 2.0 also. Anyone else getting the "Device timed out" during the sync process?

    I'm still having problems, I can't even update to 1.1.3 because of this problem. Most of the time I don't get any songs on there before it times out but some times two or three songs will go on and it will time out. This is really a problem, I have to go to a new computer just to try and restore because this one gets an error.
    Friday I am going to the genius bar, I am hoping they can work it out.
