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.

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?

Syncing photos from Aperture to Apple TV

I have first generation Apple TV to which I sync music and photos from an iMac using a wireless connection.
Until recently I used iPhoto. Now I have installed Aperture and cannot get this to sync.
The dropdown menu says "Sync photos from:..."
iPhoto
Choose folder…
Pictures
Aperture is nowhere to be seen.
How do I get Aperture to appear in the menu?

Syncing works by copying selected content to the tv HDD, after which you no longer need any connection to itunes to be able to play this content.
Selection is made either manually or automatically in your sync options within itunes depending on which you choose, automatic sync will sync things like the most recent unwatched items for you.
Anything that isn't synced to the tv can be watched through the streaming of content from your itunes library on your mac/pc, so for streaming to work, you need itunes to be running.

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.

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. )

Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

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

Problem syncing photo from Aperture

I have a picture in my Aperture library (JPEG image) that displays OK in Aperture but when I sync the album to my iPhone, it appears as a black square. I have removed the entire album when syncing in iTunes, disconnected the phone, reconnected the phone to iTunes and ticked the box to add the album back to the phone. Still, the image in question is a black square.
I have also removed the photo from the Aperture album, quit Aperture, added the image back to the album and re-synced the phone but it still won't display properly.
Any ideas?

This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

Sync photos from Aperture to iPhone 4 problems

I have a couple of smart albums set up in Aperture, when i select them to be sync's with the iPhone, the photos are sync'd in some totally random order it very difficult to locate specific pictures.
Any ideas in how to sort out the sync order please?
Thanks
John

For some stupid reason, pictures from Aperture synced to an iPhone/iPod Touch are ordered by file name instead of date on the mobile device.
If you sort the pictures manually rather than by date within Aperture, it will be ordered correctly in your Album or Event on the iPhone. Either switch it in the pulldown menu or drag a thumbnail to a new place and then back to it's original location and it will change the ordering to manual.
Makes you want to hit your head against a wall sometimes...

Syncing Photos from Aperture to an iPod Via iTunes

In the photos tab in itunes, selecting Aperture to sync photos, the number of photos (in parentheses) for the various "albums" that are shown, is WRONG. Wrong by thousands (total). Also, None of my albums are shown by name, only various categories (last week, last month, 2007, landscapes, etc. etc.)
HELP. I want to sync Aperture photos to my iPod but the above makes it impossible.

Can someone help me with this?

Syncing Photos from Aperture to Ipod touch (how to order the photos?)

I have some photos on my ipod touch from my aperture library, all good. But they sync in a different order to how they are stored in Aperture. I think it syncs by photo name alphabetically?
Is there a way to set the order of the photos by the date they were taken?
This is surely not to difficult an option to have, and i am sure ipod software up to 2.1 had this feature.
Please Do not tell me to rename my photos.

See here.

Has anyone had a problem with syncing photos from Aperture to iPad?

It appears that many sub-level photos are not syncing.

No, can't say I have.
Could very well well be an image format issue, or a corrupted file. What platform is the source from (iOS, Android?). And what does "not being able to open" mean exactly?
You might also try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Itunes will not sync photos from aperture with iphone

I cannot sync images in my Aperture Library with my iPhone 5. I used to be able to do it, but now, no matter what I ask it to sync, the sync quits when it gets to importing the photos I've selected

Same issue with iMac to iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Both with iOS 8.1.

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 from 2 computers

From a 24" iMac i have synced photos in a folder to ATV. Now i would like to sync photos from Aperture to ATV from a second computer, a MacBook Pro. However, i cannot even find how to sync any photos from the second computer. Both OSX and iTunes are the latest versions. All help is much appreciated.
iMac 24" and MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
you can only sync content from one computer, and sream from five - but as you cannot stream photos to an ATV I am afraid you cannot sync the photos from your second computer - see Apple's article on sync v streaming - bottom of the page -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305098
You could always add the photos to your synced computer instead.
Regards
