Sync albums but only sync 5 star photos in each

I would like to sync only the 5 star photos from each of the albums in my aperture library so that they appear as albums on my iPhone but with only the 5 star photos inside. At the moment I am syncing a single 5 star smart album but it contains 1300 images and it's hard to find what I'm looking for on my iPhone. My photography style is to take lots of photos and choose the best in Aperture. This means I might have an album in Aperture with 300 images in but only 20 that I rate 5 stars. Basically, I want all my albums on my iPhone but with only my 5 star rated photos in each.
Can anyone help?

Yes, that's an option I've considered. But as with any database, size is inversely proportional to speed - larger database equals slower performance. LR 5 is much better than earlier versions in this regard but when you reach 100,000 images you can feel it.
This is incorrect. I accept that you think the database is getting slower, but the database (and really all databases) are designed to work pretty much the same regardless of the number of records, except for perhaps searching through the entire catalog. We have seen in this forum people who are now editing larger RAW files than a few years ago, they see it is slower, and decide it is the size of the database, rather than the size of their photos.
What aspects of Lightroom are slow? If it's scrolling and displaying the previews and searching, then it might be the database. If its displaying images in the Develop module, it is NOT the database at all.
Have you taken steps to improve the performance of the database, such as Optimizing it regularly? have you tried these performance tips: FAQ: Experiencing Performance related problems in Lightroom?

  • Syncing Faces but only with associated photo albums?

    I have about 6,000 photos in my iPhoto as well. But I only want the following albums synced to my iPad:
    Album A - 20 photos
    Album B - 10 Photos
    Album C - 30 Photos
    Total Photos: 60
    If I sync just these albums, my iPad doesn't display the associated Faces data for these pictures.
    So I went back and synced the Faces for the people in these photos, but the problem is, my faces data contains pictures that are outside of these three albums, so when I synced the faces data I got:
    Person 1 - 800 photos
    Person 2 - 500 photos
    Person 3 - 300 photos
    Total Photos: 1600
    So instead of just the 60 photos I want, I now have 1660 photos on my iPad. I wish I could just sync the faces data from just the 60 photos I actually want on my iPad.
    Is this possible?

    I'm seeing the same issue. Faces appears to be an all-or-nothing venture on all platforms. I use Aperture 3.0.3, and there has been numerous discussions about not being able to limit the use of Faces to projects (events in iPhoto), or folders (allows you to create a hierarchy of projects, like a file system).
    Size is the most obvious issue. But I selected my wife, loaded the photos, and handed it over to her. There were several unflattering shots. So if she wants to show her friends photos of herself, she can't do it.
    The only workaround that can be done, as far as I understand it, would be to remove her face from these photos.
    I'm also seeing another issue when selecting faces, for which no other photos exist. The key photo appears distorted, and the name does not show.

  • HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

    I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad.  I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe.  In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac. 
    Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
    Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small.  What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices" "Summary" "Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices">"Summary">"Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    What I don't understand is that your iTunes looks different from mine--just a little bit. You have 3 circles, red, yellow, and green, in the upper right end of the top bar. INstead I have a square that is half gray. When I click it, I get a menu very similar to the menu under "File."
    The only place I see an entry for "Devices" is under "File," but it only gives the 4 options I mentioned before (see below). There is no "Summary."
    Here's another screen shot after I added an album to music. Now all the choices under "Devices" are grayed.

  • My ipod classic is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  How can I fix this?

    My ipod classic (80 GB, from 2006) is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  I have restored several times.  How can I fix this?  my old computer is damaged and the new one run on Windows 8.

    I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
    Does this make any sense?
    You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
    Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
    Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
    **** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
    For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
    Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
    Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
    ---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5714 I pre order midnight memories/ one direction album but only 4 songs where downloaded and the rest say purchased. What can i do to download the rest?, it doesnt give me the option to download?

    I preorder an album but only 4 songs where downloaded but the rest of the album is not it only says purchased, please help me resolve this matter!?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

    I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • HT1725 Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has downloaded properly

    Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has completely downloaded, but system says that all 3 downloaded, how can I complete tracks?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I purchased a album and only the first part of each song plays, even though the entire length is listed  in the file properities. Any Ideas?

    I purchased a album and only the first part of each song plays, even though the entire length is listed  in the file properities. Any Ideas?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • I replaced the hard drive on my Mac, and when I sync my iPhone, only the recent photos will sync, not all of my photos. How can I get my old photos to sync in iPhoto?

    I have just downloaded the latest version of Lion, and I have iCloud.

    Photo sync is 1 way. You can purchase 3rd party software to extract the photos, but be warned, the photos stored on the phone are NOT full resolution. They are reduced in resolution and optimized for the screen on the phone.
    Did you have a Time Machine backup? You can restore them from there.
    The iPhone is NOT intended to be a backup device.

  • Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

    Is this possible:
    Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
    As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
    Thanks.

    As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.

  • All contact groups check off but only synced one group

    mini2 only synced one group of contacts (not the one I wanted!) even though all 3 groups show checkmarks.

    Dear Gkaiseril
    Thank you very much for your answer!
    This I fears already J
    With JavaScript I have even less an idea than with the program Acrobat Pro XI. Is there not a other solution to solve this problem.
    Is it may possible that’s you can show me how such a JavaScript could look like or you know may a existing script?
    Anyway, thank your help.
    Nice regards

  • ICloud not syncing numbers but is syncing pages

    My iPad is getting updates for documents created using pages, but not for numbers from the icloud. Any ideas?

    It's not working for me at all.  No matter how often or the combinations of settings between my iOS devices and my Mac, Number documents will only sync between 3 of 4 (iPad just won't load Numbers documents at all from iCloud, enabled, disabled, enabled Cellular, synced to iMac, etc).  Pages and Keynote seems to work fine across all four (iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad).
    And Apple is considering doing stock buybacks.  Methinks they should possibly look into more programmers and debugging teams.

  • Your CC client (mac) get's stuck syncing (always sync icon but nothing syncing)? Temp solution!

    I've been having some troubles lately with my CC client on Mac (using Yosemite + Macbook Pro 15 Retina), all under latest versions.
    So, suddenly one day I was working and I figured out that my CC taskbar icon displayed always the blue arrows from syncing... I did looked into it and it didn't said "syncing X of X files..." but just "syncing" and nothing happened on both local or website cloud folders... I was starting to be angry when I saw it never ended for few days, and I thought it may be also consuming resources as it seems to be sending/receiving data constantly, but it's not doing anything really, new files won't sync by just placing them at the folder... it got completely cracked.
    After looking into few posts, and having a depth look into requirements and file limits and overall, saw my files weren't the issue as they're well named and all of them under the file size limit, because I use Extract a lot and it has a layer limit as well...
    Those steps helped solving the issue:
    - Do a backup of your most recent files (web or local, in my case was local folder, so I just copied content in another folder outside CC folder).
    - Once done, open CC client, go to the settings menu, and choose "preferences".
    - Go to "files" tab and deactivate file syncing. Icon will stop displaying the blue arrows.
    - Now go to your CC local folder and remove everything inside, same on website and important, remove all files definitely. Otherwise they will end up in your "Archived" folder.
    - Once everything removed from both local and app cloud (and insist, definitely!, you should see nothing on any category on the website), activate syncing under "files" tab again.
    - Nothing should happen as there are no files to sync on both ways (Local - Cloud), that's fine.
    - Now, copy again all your content from your backup folder to your CC folder.
    - Blue arrows will appear again, but you can see now it's really syncing files and not just doing anything as before. Let it upload everything again (may take it's time depending on the whole size).
    - After every file is synced back again, you should see all files on both local and browser again and it should sync properly again, so it should stop once a file has been uploaded/replaced.
    Keep in mind there's an issue on this solution, if you had created public links before, you should create them again as we removed everything completely before. It's a mess, but it's worth it rather than having your app not syncing at all.
    Cheers!

    Huh? What are you talking about? What's patronizing about my post? I just pointed out what you seemed to be missing. What's wrong about telling you where is the information that you were missing? How was I supposed to know whether you had read articles that you hadn't mentioned when some of your questions are clearly answered there? And even if I knew you had read them, what's wrong about telling you what you were missing there?
    If it's the last sentence that you have a problem with, it seems to me that you missed the smiley at the end. Your post was very long and confusing. Thoroughly reading and understanding it all requires way more effort than usual. My last sentence was just an humorous comment about the fact that I couldn't deal with all of it and I might have missed something.
    An answer like this makes me hesitant to post again
    Well, at this point, I don't care at all whether you post again or not. I can tell you for sure that I'll never, ever, answer a post from you again, so if that's what you're concerned with, you don't have to worry about that possibility at all...
    You might consider trying to check your ego
    It seems to me that it's someone else who needs to check his/her ego...

  • IPod Nano is doing my head in - Unable to sync music, but can sync pictures

    Have new Ipod Nano (4th gen) (as well as very old Ipod shuffle). ITunes recognises both devices, but when syncing music on new Ipod Nano, ITunes goes through the motions and shows it as sync'd on the device in ITunes, but when ejected/disconnected, IPOD Nano says "no music/songs". However we have been able to sync pictures from "my pictures" in windows and view them on the Nano. Anyone have any ideas?

    In the summary display for your nano, under the Music tab, is Sync Music checked?
