Sync iPod photos from Aperture

I've got over 14,000 photos in my Aperture library. But iTunes thinks there are only 48 and that is all that it syncs to my iPod. Just 48 random photos. Stupid. It used to sync them all but when I discovered that I could choose subsets of all my photos to be synched, it started helping me. With each synch fewer and fewer photos would be synched. Now it only does 48 of them.

Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

Hi,
iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

Syncing photos to iPod Touch from Aperture

I have a Touch on which I would like to sync some photos from Aperture through iTunes. ITunes sees my albums in Aperture, but it only sees one photo out of many. I am certain I am doing something incorrectly, but just don't have any ideas on what that might be. I am not sure if this is an iTunes issue or an Aperture issue. I have all the latest updates, and am using Aperture 2. Any ideas, anyone?

i deleted the ipod photo cache on my computer and it synced my photos

Syncing photos from Aperture, only first photo in one Event

When I sync photos from Aperture to iPad I find all the photos in "Photo" but only the first photo under "Events". The same happens with iPod touch and Photos in iWeb.
Where is the setting for getting all the photos in one particular event? The photos have been transferred to iPad but not to the Events with the exception of the first one. When I click on an Event in Aperture the particular Event opens with all the photos contained.

Can someone help me with this?

Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
There are problems both drive errors and USB errors. I don't believe it.
I have a hunch the drive is starving for power.
USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V. Not all do.
USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA. Not all do.
USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more. Some violate that.
USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that. Especially disk drives.
My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1]. Does your drive have the option for external power? If so try it. Following up on wtx's comment; USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power. Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification: A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest. I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

You need to unsync them. If you uses the folder syncing method either remove them from your syncing folder or change which is you syncing folder. Also see:

Sync photos from Aperture

I would like to sync some photos/albums with my iPhone using Aperture. I went through the following steps:
1. Imported images from iPhone to a project in Aperture
2. Created an empty album in Aperture
3. Dragged and dropped images from the project (from import) to the album
4. In iTunes I went to the "Photos" tab of my connected iPhone
5. Selected Sync Photos from Aperture
6. Clicked on the "Selected Albums" radio button
7. A bunch of albums/smart albums/projects are listed in the window, including the album I created in step 2 above
8. I select the album (from step 2 above) but it says there are 0 images in it. When I look in Aperture the images are definitely showing in the album
How do I get iTunes to recognize that the album I create has images, and thus move the album over to the iPhone?

I believe I have it figured out. In the Aperture preferences, under the "Previews" tab, is a checkbox labeled "New projects automatically generate preview." This needs to be checked in order to sync images from Aperture albums to your iPhone.
Otherwise, if that box wasn't checked when you created a new project, when you create an album in Aperture and put images in it, iTunes won't recognize that there are images in there.
Note that if you are importing a lot of photos into Aperture, make sure you give Aperture time to generate previews for all of the images before you go back to iTunes to view that album for syncing. All of the previews have to be generated before iTunes will recognize that the album/project has any images.

Changing Sync photos from: Aperture to iPhoto on iTunes

I marked my previous question as solved by mistake.
I still have a problem in iTunes to sync my photos to my iPhone 6. It shows only available "Copy photos from: Aperture".
I would like to switch this back iPhoto and cannot find the way.
Thank you.

Problems syncing iPad photos and Aperture

I think my iPod Photo database is corrupting for some reason as I keep getting intermittent problems syncing photos from Aperture across to my iPad.
Running Lion 10.7 on a Mac Mini with Aperture 3.1.3 and each time I get the error if I delete the iPod Photo folder it will do a full resync the next time I connect, but with over 5000 photos it takes some time.
Anyone had a similar problem or know why it might be doing it?
Thanks

From your words "syncing with my old iMac" it appears that you are now syncing to a different computer. What might work for directly imported photos (emailed, CCK, screen shots) is to connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on the iPad in the left part of iTunes and select the backup option. When that is complete then you right click and select transfer purchases. Then let iTunes erase the Ipad and replace it with the contents of iTunes on the new computer and then restore from backup
Photos synced to the iPad are not included in the backup and those will be lost unless you can get them from your original computer. However, there may be some third-part computer programs that can get the synced photos off the iPad.
For what are in backups see:

ITunes - Problem recognising photos from Aperture 3

I'm having issues with iTunes recognising my photos from Aperture 3.
For example, in my default Aperture library, in one of my projects it has about 2000 photos but when i went to the iTunes photo tab for my devices (iPhones, AppleTV or iPad) and select that particular project, it indicates that there are only 229 photos.
I've tried to fix this issue by creating a new library and copying photos from my default to the new library and same issue is still there. I've tried to fix it by deleting all the ipod photo cache within Aperture 3 package content.
Nothing worked. This problem only started about 3 months ago. Before, iTunes would recognise all 2000 photos within the project and sync to my devices all the photos. Now iTunes only sync across 229 photos.
For each device, whether it is my AppleTV, my iPhone or iPad it all says 229 photos.
My AppleTV has about 40 GB spare and my iPad has more then 15 GB spare and iTunes still reports 229 Photos for that project.
Could someone please help me!?
Thanks in advance

Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

IPad quit synching photos from Aperture...

I've been very happily syncing photos from Aperture thru iTunes to my iPad. But just recently, when the sync starts copying photos I get the message "The iPad '...' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I've tried numerous things without success...
Restored the iPad
Deleted all photos from the iPad & then re-selected them for syncing
Repaired permissions w/in Aperture
Rebuilt the database w/in Aperture
I've tried syncing one small album (that I really have no interest in) and it did sync ok. I've tried syncing old iPhoto albums instead of Aperture and they sync ok. But I cannot get the desired albums/events/faces in Aperture to sync (I've tried syncing just individual albums/events/faces, thinking there was a problem in one of them, but haven't found one I want to work yet).
Recently updated to iTunes 10.1.2 -- don't think I've sync'ed changes in photo albums since that update.
Running Aperture 3.1.1.
Suggestions? Any idea what "the required file" might be? Thanks!

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. See:

Cannot import photos from aperture

Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
George

I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it. I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
Check also the settings in Image Capture:
In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".
