Sync iphone albums to iphoto

Hi, I have a friend who has an iPhone 4 and she lost her computer hard drive. Once it was repaired she needs to sync back her photos from her iphone to iPhoto which are in other albums different from camera roll. What could we do to have them back? I tried Picsaid but it does not work with iOS 6. She has a macbook pro.
Thanks in advance

You need something like this to extract them from the phone:

Bear in mind, these photos were reduced in resolution when synced to the phone. There is no way to recover their full resolution.

SYNC iPhone albums with iPhoto

Can anyone provide some info on how to sync albums created on my iPhone with my desktop iPhoto?
It doesn't seem like this is a feature - which would be really stupid considering all the work Apple
does for cross device syncronization. Am I really to believe that I have to organize and create albums TWICE?
Thanks.

Yes you do
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

How to sync photos on iphone album to iphoto

i recently got a new hard drive for my macbook, so all my photos on iphoto are gone. i still have the photos on my iphone, but they're in their own album, and everytime i try to sync my iphone to iphoto, i can only access the photos in the camera roll. is there a way to trasnfer the photos in the iphone albums to iphoto?

Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos are reduced on your iPhone. This is why Apple does not support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.
Photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Did you lose all important data on your computer's hard drive, or just your iPhoto library?
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring this data in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos is lost.
Here is one.

Best way to recreate iPhone album in iPhoto?

My wife's 4S (running IOS6) has about 500 photos in the camera roll. These have over time been synced to iPhoto but she kept them on her phone also. We'd like to organize them in an iPhoto album so it can be managed from the Mac and get them out of her camera roll.
I selected them all and made an album on the phone, but I don't think that helps. My understanding is that I cannot sync this album structure out of the phone. What's my best recourse here, short of manually selecting all of the same photos in iPhoto? I suppose I could re-import them all, make an album out the 'last import' album, and then erase the duplicates but I'd have to erase the originals which would then take them out of other albums that they are in. Maybe re-import, find duplicates, select the earlier ones into album, then erase the later ones? Sounds a bit scary. Both are somewhat a pain since there is no 'find duplicates' feature in iPhoto; I'd have to do it manually or with some add-on software.

Couldn't disagree more with the FM transmitter being the best option. Used to have a car without a cassette player and went through every variation of FM transmitter to get my ipod to play through the car speakers. Took MANY a road trip and a) the sound quality isn't as good as with the cassette adapter and b) when driving, you constantly have to try to find empty bandwidth on the transmitter. In LA, forget about it; there's NOTHING you can tune it to. Originally, I used it on the East Coast, and it was difficult there as well. In the Midwest, it was just ok. In the UK, I don't know.
But, there is a variation of quality among the cassette adapters as well, albeit even the worst ones sounding better than the best FM transmitter. I've gone through quite a few of them as well, and have found the Sony adapter to work the best for me. The Belkin is supposedly pretty good too, but it doesn't play in all decks.
Incidentally, for both the FM transmitter and the tape adapter, make sure you're iphone volume is in the correct place -- not full volume.
Having said that, I went out and bought a DICE system ($150) which was very easy to install (you wire it with your cd player and power source) which charges my iphone and plays my music at whatever quality I encoded it to. And I don't have to fuss with my volume control on the ipod/iphone itself. THIS is the best option for those who don't have the aux jack, but it doesn't meet your expense criterion.

Deleting iphone album after iphoto album is deleted

I uploaded photos from iphoto to my iphone and then later on decided to change the album name. I changed the album name on iphoto and synched the new album. My problem is that I now have both albums on my iphone. I cannot delete the old album from my unphone my un-selecting and resynching bec the album is no longer on iphoto. How do I delete the old uploaded album on my iphone to save on memory?

One thing to try is to clear out all the photos on your iphone.
Create an empty folder on your desktop.
Connect the iphone and when it shows in itunes, go to the photos tab.
Now set itunes to sync photos from a folder instead of iphoto.
Set the iphone to sync to the new empty folder and click apply.
This will clear out any photos you have synced to your iphone.
Now try syncing the album you want from iphoto.
Hope this helps.

How to sync iPhone albums

How do I sync albums made on iPhone 4 with iPhoto on my MacBook? Photo stream syncs fine.

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

Import iPhone albums into iPhoto

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven't seen anything related to this topic :
I have set up custom albums on my iPhone, is there any way to import those albums into iPhoto? As of now, when I plug my phone in, iPhoto only gives me the option to import my photos from my phone in bulk, but has no information about the individual albums I've set up. Basically, I have a few albums with a couple hundred specific pictures that I needs to get in the computer without having to set them up from scratch in iPhoto. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Not really
You can use PhotoStream and set it up to automatically import - place one album in the PS and then after it imports to the Mac flag the photos and create a new event from them or select them and create a new album form them

Can't sync photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone 3GS

Hi, I'm having no problems getting photos off my iphone and currently have an empty camera roll. The problem is, I can't get photo albums to sync from iTunes. I get an 'unknown error (-50) each time.
No problem with syncing a folder, but that's a pain as it's a much more tedious way of doing things.
All software us upto date in iTunes, iPhoto, iPhone and I'm running Leopard on a MacBook.
Driving me mad..
HELP!

Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.
Help!

How do I sync iPhone without opening iPhoto?

Is there a preference I can turn off? I hate it that whenever I sync my iPhone, iPhoto automatically opens. It takes forever.

iPhoto opens because you have photos in your phone's Camera Roll. You should really import them into iPhoto and delete them from your Camera Roll. That way you'll have them if you misplace or damage your phone. You'll also improve backup and restore times by reducing Camera Roll or Saved Photos, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3603
If you have photos you really want on your phone, sync them to albums in the Photo app.
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
However, if you want to ignore my nanny lecture and just turn off the automatic iPhoto opening, go to iPhoto > Preferences > General and select "Connecting camera opens > no application". You can still use iPhoto with your phone, you just have to launch it manually.

IPhone albums to iPhoto

Hello!
I had to reinstall OSX on my computer and lost my iPhoto library. Is there a way I can transfer the albums from my iPhone or iPad into the new iPhoto library? I know I can sync the camera roll, but it won't let me sync anything else..
Please help!
Kraich

Th photo sync is one way - computer to ipod. Pics synced to iphone are reduced in quality, so they will never be of the original quality. You could e-mail thm to yourself.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Us eyour backup copy to put the pics back.
Certainly you did not reinstall your OS without making sure your backup was current.

Import photos iphone albums to iphoto macbook pro

How do I import iphone photos to mac book pro? I am new to MacBook Pro laptop. Always been a PC user until now.
Thanks.

iPhoto only imports from your Camera Roll on the iPhone. Other apps can import from other parts of the phone. iExplorer is one such app, but there are others. Search on MacUpdate
However, are you trying t migrate data from your PC to the new Mac? If so that's not a great way to go. The photos are reduced in quality for your phone, so you'll lose things between your PC and the Mac working that way.

HT4236 Sync iPhone to different iPhoto library

I have three different iPhoto libraries on my computer and I only want to sync with one of them. However, when I connect my phone to iTunes, it automatically chooses the wrong library to sync and doesn't give me the option to switch it (the other libraries are greyed out). How can I select the correct library to be synced when I connect my phone?

Hi mcooke7,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Before syncing with iTunes, make sure you have switched to the iPhoto library you want to sync:
To switch between photo libraries:
Quit iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
Select the library you want to switch to.
Click Choose.

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

Can't Synch Selected Albums from iPhoto to iPhone

I'm trying to sync "Selected Albums" in iPhoto from iTunes, but the option is grayed out, so I can only choose "All photos and albums." I do have albums created in iPhoto. What's the problem?

I'm having the same problem as well. My iPhoto has about 15 albums, all with standard naming conventions (no numbers, letters, crazy characters) and I only have the option to sync "all photos" or "last import." iPhone does not recognize any of the albums I have created in iPhone. I can sync all photos, but I've got a couple gig worth of photos that I don't need on my iPhone.

Deleting photos imported onto your iphone 3g from iphoto

I've imported photos into my iphone and found it easy to delete images that I've taken with the camera, but not how to do so on the ones I've imported. How do you do this?
thanx,
kevin

Delete the pics from the album that you sync to your iphone and they will be deleted from iphone next time you sync.
I have an album named iphone. Only pics that I want on iphone go in that album. Whatever I add or erase from the iphone album in iphoto is reflected in the iphone, next time I sync.
