Syncing "Events" in iPhoto to iPhone

I just got a new computer, with OSX Leopard. The new iPhoto is wonderful—automatically categorizing your photos (based on dates) into "events," eliminating what I found to be the cumbersome and sometimes confusing process of trying to create "albums" for which photos then existed in multiple places within iPhoto.
However, when I try to sync my photos to my iPhone, the only option I'm given is to sync "albums," not "events." It's almost as though the current iPhone software is not updated to sync based on the new iPhoto. Does anyone know if there is a way to sync "events," or if there is a plan for, in future software versions, this to be an option?
Thanks!

I do not have iPhoto 7 so I cannot tell you from my experience, but read this thread with other users comments on event support and on what works and what does not work:

As for future plans from Apple no one here knows as nothing was officially released yet.

How to export events from iPhoto in Iphone 5 to Mac?

How to export events from iPhoto in Iphone 5 to Mac? Thanks

Is this waht you want to do?
It's built into the File Export function of iPhoto 9 (11). Select what every photos you want and use that option to put each photo in a folder with the Event title it came from as in this test of six randomly picked photos:

Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
Good Luck

Video syncing errors from iPhoto to iPhone via iTunes

I recently took 50 or so video or pictures on my iPhone 5 while on vacation. Once home, I synced them into iPhoto like I always do, and deleted the files after import. I then synced my phone with iTunes, where (in the photos section) I choose to sync all events from the past 12 months, with the 'Include Videos' checkbox checked. This is how I've done things up to now, and its always worked.
However, this time, two of the videos will not sync back to my phone. I get an iTunes error saying that they are not in the correct format. This is bizarre, since several videos taken before, between, and after them sync fine. The 2 videos are not exceptionally long or short compared to others that sync successfully.
Has anyone seen a trick or workaround to make iTunes sync these videos?

Thanks again TD
I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
(As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
Thoughts welcome.

How do I upload / sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone in Photos folder

I shot a short clip from my digital camera and want to share it with family through Whatsapp on my iPhone 3GS.
I downloaded the movie (.AVI extension) to iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, saved a copy on the Desktop; and using Quicktime's export feature, was able to transfer a .m4v version of the video on the 'Videos' folder of iOS. However, since Whatsapp picks up content only from the 'Photos' app, I was looking for a mechanism through which the video (preferably .AVI format) can be transfered to the 'Photos' app.
Additionally, I created a separate album on iPhoto containing just this clip. Next I tried to sync this album to my iPhone with the 'include videos' checkbox ticked, but it does not copy the video to Photos on iPhone (tried doing the same with some photos and it is working just fine).
Request if someone can provide an easy solution for this.
Regards,
Prashrash.
P.S.: Since I am a newbie, apologize in advance for any forum rules that I might have broken. Happy to be corrected / informed on the same.
BTW, have done a basic search on the articles existing in the forums to try and find an answer before posting my question. Mostly have seen many nays on older / archived posts, and hence am posting afresh once again in the hope that with the newer versions of iPhoto / iTunes, something has hopefully changed that will make my task easy! <fingers crossed>

Hello prashrash
Because when you sync a video that you have converted, it will want to go in the Videos app. A way to get around that is to email the video to yourself if the video size is small enough to send through email. Once you have received it you should be able to save it to your Camera Roll and then be able to access like you normally would.
Save a photo or video you received in Mail.

Can't sync events entered on the iPhone into Outlook

I am trying to use Outlook 2003 to backup my calendar. I have not been able to get it to sync, have tried everything that has been suggested on the forum, but no luck. I would be happy if I could just get the calendar events that I have entered in my iPhone to download to Outlook so that I have a backup of it, but the option in iTunes that says "Put new events created on this iPhone into the calendar" is greyed out. Is there some way for me to just take my calendar as it stands on the iPhone and push it into Outlook...or some calendar that could sit on my desktop?

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual 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

Unable to sync events from iphoto to my ipad and iphone

Recently I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I upgraded also my iOs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Everything works fine buy when I sync on my MacBook Pro using iTunes for my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S, my photo library on my devices are crazy. All the events dissapears or some of them are "divided" in more events. I mean, theres the EVENT 1 on my iPhoto in my MacBook with 85 pics and after I sync, the event on my iPhone dissapears and I have 85 "events". Some one told me to unistall iTunes and then reinstall it to rearrange the libraries but I can't unistall the iTunes.

Go to System Preferences>Network and select the WiFi icon on the left:
Does it show WiFi as being on or connected? If not, use the "Assist me..." button and see if it can walk you through the necessary steps to turn WiFi on and get connected to your home network.

IPhone Will Not Sync 'Events' from iPhoto

My iPhone 3G will only load 'albums' from iPhoto, but not 'events'. I prefer to manage my photos using events, how do i ensure that when i load photos into my iPhone, that they are loaded as events. Currently, the only way i can access new photos is by going into 'last import' or by sifting through my entire library.

Hvaing the same problem on my iPad since iTunes and ios5 upgrade - hoping for some updates from Apple to resolve problem - research has shown we are not alone!

Having issue with Syncing Events from Iphoto to Apple Tv

All of a sudden I have multiple events of the same title but different amount of photos when i try to sync my photos to apple tv. Iphoto is fine, nothing is changed but when I go over to itunes to sync I see like 10 different Events with same name. EVERYTHING is multiplied but there is no rhyme or reason to it. !!!!! Apple has done some system/app updates but they are so frequent that I don't ever pay attention to what is being updated I just click to allow the process. I believe this occurred after one of the updates, I have 2 Apple TV's AT1 and AT2. AT2 is a nightmare to begin with because it was constantly getting kicked off the network but now that isn't the issue. Now it isn't showing current syncs which doesn't make sense because I thought this one streamed everything directly. Either way---APPLE TV is having issues and I can't get my EVENTS straightened out, HELP!!!!!

I've also noticed this started happening... Its something with iTunes, because both my old Apple TV's and my iPhone and iPad all show multiple events for the same event... Lots of them! So many its hard to tell what to sync now. When I click on any of my devices photos tab in iTunes they are all exactly the same. Not sure how to fix it...

Problem syncing events from iPhoto

Hi,
In iTunes I selected the events I want to sync with my iPhone and it worked pretty good for a while, but now it says they are synchronised but a lot of them are missing on the phone. Any idea how to fix it ?

You cannot share videos from iPhoto. You will need to manage them in iTunes or some other app.

Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal. I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected. This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Can't sync videos from iPhoto to iPhone

My pictures sync fine, but can't get the videos I shot with my camera to sync to my iPhone. Size-wise, they are within the limits allowed. Any suggestions?

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

Cannot sync selection of iPhoto to iPhone

Just bougth an iPhone 3GS 16 gb and want to sync a selection of photos/maps from iPhoto, through iTunes, to the iPhone, just like I do with syncing music. Under the Photos tab in iTunes I can only choose for all the content of the iPhoto library. But then I get an syncing error message (-50). I see the possibillity (like under the music tab) to select only the maps I want, but I can not click on it, it's greyed out. I already adjusted under the summery tab not to sync automatically but manually.
Moreover, syncing photos to the iPhone 3G of my wife worked just like I want, using the same iMac, but when I tried it just now (it was some time ago that I synced that iPhone)it appears to have the same problem. I'm not aware that I changed some tuning. Could it be caused by an updat of MacOSX or Itunes or iPhoto?
What to do?

You need to go into your iPhoto application and turn off (or disable) all music that is tied to any of your self-created slideshows. This error seems to be directly related to odd characters in the titles of the songs in your slideshows. Then sync your photos. Afterward, you can then "try" and go back in and re-attach your songs inside your slideshows, and see if your iPhoto photos will again sync without the -50 error.

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.
