Sync iPhoto to iPhone and AppleTV

Hi People,
I'm having issues syncing my iPhoto images to either my iPhone or Apple TV.
I enable in syncing in the Photos tab on each device with the iPhoto. However it only allows the option of 'All photos, albums and faces' which is no good as my photo collection is far larger than the amount I can transfer to either device.
I want to be able to select the albums etc to transfer, but this option is greyed out, any ideas?
- Running the latest updates to 10.6 and iLife '09.
Thanks in advance.

The solution described in this thread worked for me.

The culprit was a music track tied to a slide show, where the track name (or artist) contained an ampersand (&). It seemed to be a 'default' music track name, vs. something I established. Removing the music track from the slide show eliminated all of my photo sync issues.

  • How to find cause of "File cannot be found" in sync iphoto to iphone in itunes?

    Hi can anyone help with syncing iPhoto to iPhone ?     I know similar posts exist on this subject but I have spent 4 days reading them and every support article even vaguely related to it but have not found a solution that works for me.   I have downloaded the latest iTunes, deleted the itunes helper p'list, deleted the ipod photo cache, tried copying my iPhoto library to another HD and syncing with that, tried switching the phone on and off while connected with iTunes and when not, done innumerable restarts, unchecked the sync photos box to delete library photos from the iphone and tried again, rebuit the iPhoto Library, repaired permissions, rebuilt thumbnails, and a few other suggestions I've read and all these many many times in the hope that this time it might work and all to no avail.     When syncing,  iTunes verifies the phone, backs it up, syncs everything else then analyses the iPhoto library, optimises the photos and then starts to copy them and after a few moments gives me that familiar message that the " iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found "  My iphone tells me " iTunes Sync Needed.  High Resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer ...launch iTunes to sync them."  Where the photos used to be in each album or event that is still listed there are just black boxes.   I use the iphoto library on my iPhone for work purposes, at least I used to and I still need to.  This is really driving me nuts and I am sure it's rectifiable but I am clueless as to what to do to fix it.  I'm sure someone out there knows what I should do and I really need to know! PLEASE !

    It works on my Windows 7 laptop.
    iTunes has to be started.
    Are you sure you have Windows Explorer set to show file extensions?
    Sounds like you renamed it from "FindDeadTracks.txt" to "FindDeadTrack.js.txt" if it is still opening in notepad.
    All I do is have itunes started, double-click on the .js file, and let it run. My library is pretty large so it takes more than a 1/2 hour to finish going through all the tracks. It comes back with a message, "0 dead tracks found" and the little notepad results file it creates is blank.
    If you DO have dead tracks, it comes back with a message like "15 dead tracks" found and the results file lists those 15 tracks.
    The name of the results file is "Dead Tracks.txt"

    Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer??
    My husband has an iphone 4 & ipad. I have an iphone 4S. We both use the same  itunes account. We are having trouble w/ all of our contacts/calendars & info getting all mixed up. We want to both use the same itunes account & apple id so that we dont have to separatley repurchase everything. Can anyone help us w/ this issue? Are we obligated to buy another computer so that we each have one--or is there some way around it? Thanks!!

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

  • What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

    What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?  I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync. 

    If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
    Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
    Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

  • Why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad

    why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad same with face time

    I looked into your question and believe I may have a solution for you.
    Your iMessages likely aren't syncing because of a bug in iOS 5. Syncing iMessages between iOS devices is supposed to happen automatically, but sometimes it does not.
    You could likely manually activate syncing by navigating to Setttings --> Messages --> Receive At --> Caller ID on both your iPad and iPhone and selecting your Apple ID.

  • My contacts sync on my iPhone and iPad but my calendars don't m?..

    My contacts sync with my iPhone and iPad I cannot get my calendars to sync??

    I don't know how you have your sync set up configured but ....
    Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes if it doesn't start on it's own.
    If you auto sync, let the sync process complete but do not disconnect the iPad when it's done syncing.
    Click on your iPad name on the left sidebar under the Devices heading
    Click on the Info Tab at the top on the right side of the iTunes window
    Click on Sync ... Calendars.
    Click on All Calendars or choose the ones that you want to sync.
    Click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes Window.
    This article should provide more insight on some other possibilites as well.
