Sync photos from iPhotos to iPhone

Can someone help me please? I would like to sync specific photos from my iPhoto to my iPhone, however the Photos tab in iTune doesn't have that feature - when you check the box "Selected albums" it only gives me the choice of: "Last Import" or "Last 12 months". How do I tell it I want to be MORE specific???
Thank you so much!
Lilly

You have to set up an album in iphoto to be able to see it in the photo pane in itunes in order to sync.
Move the desired pictures into the album, go to itunes and select the album and sync.

Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
Thank you!!!

I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
Change it so no photos are synced.
Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

Syncing photos from iPhoto to iPhone

Selected albums only offers 3 options 1) last import, 2) last 12 months and 3) iPhone.
I tried resetting sync, but that didn't work. Any thoughts?

jl klein,
Do you mean you reset the sync history? If not, it's a good step to try:
Resetting the sync history on your computer

If that doesn't resolve the issue, if you create a new album in iTunes, does that appear?
Hope this helps,

Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto. I keep getting the following error:
"The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

Cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.). Attempting to sync from folders other than iPhoto works fine.
I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then removing the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the cache, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and trying to sync again.)
I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
iMac running OS X 10.9.1
iPhoto 9.5.1
iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4

Additional info: I tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and even rebuilding the database in iPhoto. Rebuilding eliminated all ordering in my albums. Since this seemed to be only messing things up further, I then tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from a previous version in Time Machine (when synching photos still worked). However, the problem persists. I am still unable to sync any photos from iTunes to my phone.

Importing photos from iPhoto into iPhone

I know you can import from iphone to iphoto...
is there a way to import from iphoto to iphone?

Yes connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab check the sync box and select from the menu next to Sync photos from: "iPhoto" instead of "choose folder"

Limitation Importing Photos from Iphoto to Iphone

I have over 28,000 photos on an external drive and want to import just selected photos, individual from there to my Iphone. In Itunes, I have the option to Sync Photo from Iphoto, or I can choose to sync from a specific folder.
If I pick Iphoto, I then have the option to pick all photos and albums (28,582 photos), a selection of recent events (1,3,5,10,or 20 most recent) or selected albums. Selected albums only gives me 3 choices Last Import, Last 12 Months or another folder called "test". None of these options allows me to pick an event or individual photo from say 4 years ago as an example.
If I choose the option to sync from a specific folder, I am also unable to navigate to a particular event other than folders that have been exported from Iphoto into the pictures folder. If I try to navaigate to applications and pick Iphoto, its grayed out and I cannot select it.
Please tell me that I do not have to export each specific picture one by one just to get them onto my Iphone???

Have you created any albums in iPhoto? if so, you should see them in the list along with "Last 12 Months" and "Last Import"; if not, when you do create them you'll see them. Create an album called "iPhone" (or whatever else you want to call it), put the pictures you want on your iPhone into that folder and sync it.

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.

Error transfer photos from iPhoto to iphone 4.

i have problem sync all my photos from iPhoto to iPhone 4, iPhone is 4.2.1, iTune is 10.2.2., iPhoto'09 8.1.2
Do i need to upgrade to iPhone 4.3.3 or iPhoto '11 for solving this issue? But it doesn't make sense. Please help!

I don't know if you solved this already or what, but I had a similar problem with my iPhone4 - no joy recognizing the photo folder in iPhoto or anywhere else, but no problems with iTunes. Same problem in both Windows and OSX. I gave up trying to get iPhoto, photo capture to work and went looking on the AppStore for an alternative.
Downloaded Photo Transfer,
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
this solved all my problems immediately. Ridiculously annoying that the default application doesn't work anymore and that Apple have made it sooo difficult to get to our data, and doubly annoying that the Photo Transfer app isn't free - but it seriously works like a charm.

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...

Can't Sync Photos from iPhoto

Since I got my iPod last December, I have not been able to sync photos from iPhoto 4.0.3. When I select iPhoto in the Photos preferences of my iPod, none of my albums show up and when I try to update it, I get a message: "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
It's not a serious problem because I can still get my photos on there by selecting my iPhoto library folder as a source, but I would like to have access to my photo albums from the iPod.

Anyone? Please??

IPad saying not enough memory when syncing photos from iPhoto

I have been trying to sync my iPad for the past two weeks. It is an iPad with Retina Display, 3rd Gen, 64gb. I finally gave up and just downloaded all of my apps and songs from icloud, but I want to be able to sync it to my computer. It keeps telling me that the iPad does not contain enought memory. I do not know how this is seeing as how it says that I have over 40 gb free. Today I was able to get it to sync, and then I realized I did not have my photos from iPhoto checked. I checked it to sync photos from iPhoto and only selected one album with 223 pictures in it. When I did that, it gave me the message that I could not sync it because I did not have enough memory. How could I not have enough memory when it says that I have 40gb of space free and I am only trying to sync 223 photos? Please help. I will try to update this post if anything improves.
I have already restored the iPad once, and that clearly did not do anything. haha.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

ITunes not syncing photos from iPhoto

"Unkown error" messages are becoming usual for iPod users that we are ignoring them because our iPods are syncing fine anyway. Except for error message -208, the new kid on the block! This error message only pops when trying to sync photos from iPhoto (6.0.5 the latest! Syncing photos from any other folder or not syncing photos at all, does not cause any problem. The syncing never has given me this problem (and I have been syncing iPods with pics for a long time!)
How does Apple answer to this problem? Don't blame the iTunes software, because this is definitively a joint problem you guys have with your software not talking to one another.
I have rebuilt everything that can be rebuilt in iPhoto (thumbnails, library), I have downloaded and installed all the latest updates. Reset and restored the iPod... done! Reinstall iTunes, check!
I have posted messages at the iTunes/iPod forum and... no response! Hope the Apple staff is more friendly here... or at least one of the seasoned users...

You may have figured it out by now. None of the resetting of the iPod or the rebuilding of the iPhoto library (command+option) or permission rebuilding works to solve a -208 error when the error refers to an iPhoto library sync with iTunes. Supposedly, this error occurs with corrupt AIFF files as well. This error will occur on different iPods which try to sync to the same iPhoto library. The iPhoto library is definitely corrupted. Mine was due to a sudden power loss.
NOTE: I do not "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" under Advanced iPhoto preferences, so that my photos don't have a chance of getting messed up (like error -208s). If you do, the steps below may be different for you. Always a good idea to back up your photos.
Here is how I fixed it. All the steps may not be necessary. Go to /pictures directory under your user (or wherever your iPhoto library is located), and rename the "iPhoto Library" or whatever you called it to something else, like "iPhoto Library 2". Open iPhoto, and it can't find the library, and asks if you want to find it or create a new one. Tell it to create a new one, and put at least a picture in the library. Sync with iPod, which should work without error and put the picture on your iPod. Close iTunes. Close iPhoto. Now, to save all your pictures (thumbnails) already in the iPhoto library, copy everything BUT "iPod Photo Cache" folder, which seems to be the culprit, from the "iPhoto Library 2" folder into the "iPhoto Library" folder. Open iPhoto, and all your pictures should now be in the library. Open iTunes and sync iPod, and all your pictures should sync out without error.

Import photos from iPhoto to iPhone

How does one import photos from iPhoto to iPhone?
I have looked on the user guide and have found no answer.
Thanks!

Question: How do you just have the Photo albums on the Iphone and not the Photo Library? Or just have the photo library without the photo albums? I have 146 photos in the library and the folders (two with 87 in one and 59 in the other) That are also in the library. It seems like having duplicates will take up space that I don't want to take up.

Since the most recent iPhoto upgrade, I can't sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone or iPad. This is so frustrating! whereas previously all I had to do was put 'sync' as a keyword,

Why can I no longer export photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad? Previously, when I used 'sync' as a keyword for a photo, it automatically exported to the other devices when they were synced with computer. This no longer happens so I don't know how to get photos from the computer onto my iPhone & iPad. Can anyone help as it's most annoying. So often updating software has really negative side-effects such as this.

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
