Syncing Back From MMe to iPhoto

I have created and shared a gallery on mobile me. I want to allow others to add to it but do not want the new photos synced back to my iPhoto (only to appear in the MMe gallery). Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance

No - it is a two way sync - changes made in iPhoto sync to MobileMe and changed made in MobileMe sync to iPhoto
If that is not what you want then export the photos and use the web uploader not iPhoto

Sync Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

Why I can't sync photos from iPhone to iPhoto? Both iPhoto and Image Capture only read 26 photos (and it cannot be import too) when I have hundreds in the Iphone.

Yes, it's all in 'camera roll' folder.. And iPhoto only shows 26 boxes that ready to be import, but when I clicked 'Import All' it said that 'error in sync'

Sync photos from ipad to iphoto

OK - here is my problem.
First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album.   So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application.   I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
I cannot figure out how to do the third thing.   I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac. The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
Can anyone figure this out?

Alex, any response from Apple?
The only solution to this I can think of:
1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself. <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them.

Music files in my PC's iTunes directory have been moved around, now iTunes' index is not recognizing them and returns error messages. The files have previously been sync'd to my iPod, but when I tried to sync back from the iPod, iTunes on the PC error'd.

I want iTunes to reconstruct its index of my music.
We accidentally moved files around in my <<C:\Documents and Settings\Jordan\My Documents\My Music\iTunes>> directory. We tried to move them back, but anyway, the iTunes program now no longer can find/play the titles that the opened iTunes page/Library displays.
I had previously copied/syncd all my iTunes music to my iPod. I tried syncing back to the PC from the iPod. No improovement.
At the moment, my dad is on my computer, logged in under his name (with administrative permissions). It seems that looking at my iTunes music under his login is still working OK.
I do not have my music backed up to the "cloud".
What are my options?

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Can't sync videos from iPhone to iPhoto

Just bought a MacBook Pro. My daughter has sent me some videos from her iPhone to mine. When I try to sync from iPhone to iPhoto, the photos sync fine, but iPhoto doesn't see the videos, which are saved in the camera roll. Yes, I have checked "include videos" in the iTunes menu.
The funny thing is that on my old G4 PowerBook, iPhoto would see the videos and import them just fine.
What am I not doing?

iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

Play position in audible audio books not syncing back from iPhone to iTunes

Hi everybody. I hope I don't open a redundant thread, but i couldn't find one that has this topic.
Anyway, I am syncing some audio books from audible to my iPhone. When i start playing them on the phone, the play position is in sync to the position in iTunes. Now let's say i listen one hour on the phone and then sync again.
Contrary to what i expected, the further advanced play position from the phone is NOT synced back to iTunes but the old position from iTunes is synced again to the phone. So the next time I access the audio book on the phone I start where i started in the first place.
Is this a bug or have I missed some setting wheresoever?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have seen others complain about it. For me I never listen via PC (only phone) so I haven't had an issue yet. Though I do when I stop listening look at the time and chapter/file I am at and go over to Notes and jot it down. Due to reboots or other issues, it has lost where I was but with my notes, I can quickly get back.

HT1766 How can i restore all my data after deleting the apps? can i syncing back from the macbook?

How can i restore back all my data after deleting the apps and re-install back.
After reinstall back stll retrieve all my data.
Can i syncing back the original frm my macbook since last update is Mar

Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

New hard drive, can't get photos to load from "iTunes sync" back into aperture or iPhoto

My hard drive crashed while in for service. I had over 10,000 photos in aperture and they were not able to recover any of them. When I connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, I see at the bar on the bottom that shows storage that there are 10,000+ photos but I can't get at them. I can see a few photos on my phone that did not sync to the new iPhoto so I know there is still something left on my phone too. How do I rescue my photos?

Good news- this is all so much simpler that you think. (I know because I too struggled with it for days.) It turns ou that you have to do NOTHING to set up streaming with 2.0. Once you have synced your computer, just leave your computer running and on your TV using ATV you will see whatever movies you have imported into iTunes in the movie menu even if you have not synced them. The only way that you can tell that they are not synced is that when you select them to play the streaming bar will appear briefly at the bottom of your TV screen to indicate that it is being synced. If you turn your computer off the movie that you have chosen would not even appear in the menu.
Hope this helps- it is too bad apple doesn't give more info about using ATV!

Problems syncing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

I have an iPhone 4 installed with iOS 5.0.1. I also have a slightly older version of iPhoto (I believe it's one generation behind; whatever that is). Prior to updating my iPhone to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (I didn't check between updates) I used to be able to sync my photos FROM my iPhone into iPhoto. I can no longer do this and Apple has no idea what the problem is?!?!
iPhoto appears as though it's going to start syncing photos but then does nothing except gives me a big white screen; almost like it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried deleting the photo cache and nothing. I've tried calling Apple support and nothing.
Can anyone help me with this, as it is very inconvenient to keep emailing photos to myself. I assume the issue has to do with the iCloud folder and iPhoto doesn't know what to do with the iCloud photo. Of course Apple has to understand this is an issue before it will be fixed, if I am correct.
Suggestions?

Since iPhoto syncing is not working for you right now and you need to replace your phone, consider transferring your pictures wirelessly to your computer using and app like PhotoSync. Also be sure to back up your contacts as they are not fully backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Either sync them to a service such as Google or use an app like My Contacts Backup (which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that your send to yourself and can later be used to import your contacts to your new phone).

Sync photos from iphone to iphoto manually

So I have been holiday and have been taking pictures with my iphone. Now that I'm back on wifi I tried to sync via PhotoStream. THIS DID NOT WORK. May be because of the volume. (400 pictures). This is fine so I turned of Photostream on my computer and on my phone. I then tried to sync these pics manually. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! I have my whole holiday on my phone and no way to get them off. I want to be able to see my phone in iphoto as a device. Why has this been taking out!! THis is really stupid if that's the case or please tell me what I should do. I have had apples for years and I have restarted all devices and programs. I have been a big fan of apple for years bt if I can't go back to manual with stuff like photo stream or anything else for that matter it really *****!! Please tell me how to fix this. I want to be able to see my camera roll in iPhoto as a device. If this is not possible anymore then I want to know why photostream does not work and I want a solution. As I said my whole holiday is on this phone and when I get back top Australia I will have a differnet phone but not my photos. I have borrowed this phone so these pics need to come off.....
PhotoStream did work for while but then it just stopped working. What I find hard to understand though is why my phone is not showing up as a device in the iphoto menu.
Please tell me someone here knows how to fix this. I will jailbreak my phone from now on if this is the new apple way....

Yes, it's all in 'camera roll' folder.. And iPhoto only shows 26 boxes that ready to be import, but when I clicked 'Import All' it said that 'error in sync'

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. )

Lost movies ,can i sync back from iphone4 to mac

the folder is on my hard drive but no longer contains any files. this has happened to 5 other movies and the only copy is on my phone.
i have not synced my phone in case itunes wipes (??) my only copy
so the question is ....can i copy from the iphone back to my hard drive or itunes without lossing the only copy ??????
thanks
gerryh

You might try turning contact syncing off in settings> iCloud, hopefully this will offer you the opportunity to save your contacts on your iPad and move them to them on my iPod account. If you are able to do this then you might connect the iPad to iTunes and sync them that way back to your computer, so that you can back them up before doing anything else.

Syncing back from iPod to iTunes in computer

computer does not recognize my iPod Touch as device and cannot sync from iPod back to it after op system reinstall

Does the iPod work?
If not
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Lost all data on computer, want to sync back from iPhone

Hello, first of all thank you very much for helping me, and sorry for my bad english.
I have a iphone3g which connects to windows Xp trough an itunes 9.0.2.
My problem is:
I had to format my hard disk so I've lost my itunes libray and all files wich were included it. By the way I've reinstalled the iTunes. I've found an older libray and sat it up iTunes to use that folder/libray.
The only problem is that this libray has an 50% diference that my iPhone has. I mean the half of the files (music, movie,calendar etc.) are different. I noticed it when i connected my iPhone to the iTunes, because iTunes wanted to replace all my sings and applications on my iPhone as it is on the (old) libray. I've noticed it and disconnected my iPhone from the CP.
I've tired to create a new fresh empty libray and copy all my media from my iPhone to the new libray. But it said the iPhone could be connected just one lbray. (Which seems to be my "old"libray.) I dosnet want to connect my iPhone to the old libray because it will cause the loss of the half of my songs. I neither cant find the libray which is the same as the one on my iPhone nor copy my songs to a new libray.
My songs were not imported to the itunes libray folder but were on their own place. It means that I have not lost my data, just the configuration (playlist, rateing, playcount, wich files were selected to add to the itunes, !applications! , etc.)
Oh yes, there is an other thing. My newly bought applications were synced to the lost libray, and they could not be found in the "old" one, just on my iPhone. But as i said, I can not connect my iPhone to a new libray.
I hope I've described it well, and you can help me please.
Waiting for your answer.
