Syncing Faces but only with associated photo albums?

I have about 6,000 photos in my iPhoto as well. But I only want the following albums synced to my iPad:
Album A - 20 photos
Album B - 10 Photos
Album C - 30 Photos
Total Photos: 60
If I sync just these albums, my iPad doesn't display the associated Faces data for these pictures.
So I went back and synced the Faces for the people in these photos, but the problem is, my faces data contains pictures that are outside of these three albums, so when I synced the faces data I got:
Person 1 - 800 photos
Person 2 - 500 photos
Person 3 - 300 photos
Total Photos: 1600
So instead of just the 60 photos I want, I now have 1660 photos on my iPad. I wish I could just sync the faces data from just the 60 photos I actually want on my iPad.
Is this possible?

I'm seeing the same issue. Faces appears to be an all-or-nothing venture on all platforms. I use Aperture 3.0.3, and there has been numerous discussions about not being able to limit the use of Faces to projects (events in iPhoto), or folders (allows you to create a hierarchy of projects, like a file system).
Size is the most obvious issue. But I selected my wife, loaded the photos, and handed it over to her. There were several unflattering shots. So if she wants to show her friends photos of herself, she can't do it.
The only workaround that can be done, as far as I understand it, would be to remove her face from these photos.
I'm also seeing another issue when selecting faces, for which no other photos exist. The key photo appears distorted, and the name does not show.

  • I can only download 1 photo album from my computer to the ipad, if I download a second one, it deletes and replaces the first one. How can I fix this?

    I can only download one photo album from my PC to the Ipad, if I try  to download a second album, it deletes the first. Why???

    Put all of your albums into one main photos album that you can sync from. You can only select one main folder of photos to sync to the iPad. If you direct iTunes to sync from a different folder the next time that you sync, the first album/folder will be deleted. You have to include all photos with each sync every time that you sync.
    So create one main folder for photos and place all of your sub folders into that main photos folder, then when yo sync with iTunes, you can select that main photos folder as the "Sync Photos From" folder in the iTunes photos tab and you can select each of the subfolders within that main folder to sync as well.
    But you can only select one level of subfolders to sync. You cannot sync a folder within a folder within the main folder - one level of sub folders only.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Select the main photos folder in the Sync Photos From drop down menu
    Click on/select all of the albums or sub folders within that main folder that you want to sync.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • Is this true? "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD

    My friend told me the following. Is this true?
    "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD burners."

    Probably not - although this comes only from personal experiance and not any technical knowlage. I always purchase cd's based on conviniance and not brand. Also spend my life between Europe and North America and have never encontered any cd that would not work - aside occasional lemons.
    Hope this helps - just remember this is an experiance based reply.

  • Wont boot - no chimes, fan noise but only with battery connected

    Hello,
    It's an old Powerbook G4 - A1138 that won't boot.
    If you press the power button, the fan whirrs quickly and loudly. But only with the battery connected. If the battery is removed (but the computer is connected to the power supply) then nothing happens...
    I have tried re-setting the PMU as per this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431 This didn't help.
    Is it now dead? If I can just reach a point whereby I can boot it in Firewire HD mode (normally holding command + T down) and recover content then great!
    Thanks :-)

  • "@font-face" problem only with firefox. I have attached a style sheet while i was embedding my personal fonts into a website, but Firefox won't load them. Why?

    I was hand coding my new website. This time i was trying to embed some personal fonts into my website, so i used a style sheet to embed which is coded like
    "@font-face {
    font-family:Sofia;
    src:url(../fonts/Sofia-Regular.otf);
    All the font work fine in the root folder of my site. But whenever i am creating dreamweaver templates and using them on pages which are in different folders but in the same root directory, the fonts are set back to default font. This problem is only with Firefox. Chrome, IE, Opera etc. works fine. Please Help!

    i run into the same problem the last days.
    using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
    everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
    found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
    then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
    [14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
    yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
    first load after login is => everything ok!
    after following an internal link => no webfonts!
    after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
    but that can only be a workaround!
    why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
    what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

  • Help with creating photo albums

    Hi Guys..
    I'm pretty new to dreamweaver and am using a trial version at the moment but love it so far...
    My problem is that every time i try to create a jpg photo gallary the and select the source and destination file folder,dreamweaver keeps giving me the error message that 'No images files found in image file folder'...
    I know that there are plenty of images in the folder and have followed a few youtube instructional videos,but still cant seem to find out what this problem is.
    The only element of testing that seemed to work is when i used a folder full of .gif files. the album created then, but used lots of little gif images...
    Is there anything i'm missing ?
    hope you can help
    thanks in advance
    Paul
    I've attached a file showing the issue ...

    Thanks for that Nancy,
    yes I've done all that the site is up and all created wih several pages.
    I created t in fronpage first and have been editing it and 'Put'ing files up for the past few days.
    The only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is creating this photo album
    I'm trying to create the folder by poiting the source files at a local files folder which I'm sure is the correct way.
    When you select folders with images in are oyu able to see previews of the files
    Hope this makes sense..
    thanks

  • Screen Saver with large photo album

    I love the new options for using my photo albums as screensavers in Mountain Lion but I've noticed a particularly annoying bug...  I have a very large album (2,000+ photos) that I have been adding my favorite memories to for many years which makes a great screensaver/slideshow.  After updating to OS 10.8 I've noticed that photos seem to repeat, a LOT.  I keep it set to random but with this many photos I should not expect to see the same photo 10 times over 10 minutes...  Any thoughts?

    I've encountered the same problem on different machines with Mountain Lion installed (iMacs and Mac Pro). To whoever I'm showing off my photos (300+ per event or folder) with the new slideshow themes in the screensaver options, they recognize after two minutes that there are photos repeating all the time.
    I've counted and the following pattern turns out: after just 15 randomly picked images it shows the first 5 images of the slideshow again. Then 15 random and then again the same 5 first images and so on.
    So, what the people remember after seeing the slideshow is just these five images, because they are displayed over and over again! Thats a really annoying bug. 

  • Trouble with recovering Photos & Albums

    Hiya, I've not long formatted my computer and when I plug my iPad in, it keeps saying that if I sync with my computer then it will erase everything... So I was wondering if there is a way that I can import and save all my Photos (& Albums). Hopefully someone can help me because the photos mean a lot!
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll then you can transfer them to your computer by connecting the iPad to your computer as a camera. Do not use iTunes.
    Otherwise, use the Photo Transfer App from the App Store to move the photos to your computer. See here: http://phototransferapp.com

  • HT201077 why are there 600 photos on camera roll but only 300 in photo stream?

    if photos upload automatically to the photo stream, why do I have twice as many photos on my photo stream. It seems also to have stopped uploading photos in early March. I also have 2 photo streams on my ipad (which is synced to my phone & computer); one with 400+ photos & one with 200+ photos. I ipad also has only 300 of the 600 original photos in the camera roll.
    This is confusing.

    If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on.  That may get photo stream to function properly again.

  • ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

    Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
    The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
    Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
    Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

  • Hypotheses: iPhone3G cannot sync to 2 computers with audio&photo separately

    Sorry, the Subject line was too long.
    My hypotheses is that with a iPhone 3G, it is not possible to sync the iPhone 3G with 2 Macs such that the one computer supplies photos, while the 2nd computer supplies audio.
    Versions:
    iPhone 3G, Firmware 2.0.1 & 2.0.2. No jailbreaking. iTunes 7.7.1. Leopard on both machines. Mac#1: MacBook Pro Rev A, Mac#2: PowerBook G4 15" Rev A
    I have 2 Macs. My personal Mac#1 has my photos. Mac#2 has my audio (audiobooks, podcasts, garden variety AAC & MP3 files. No DRM iTunes store music).
    My mail, contacts, calendar & bookmarks sync to Mac#1, Mac#2, iPhone 3G via MobileMe without issue. This means mail/contacts/calendar/bookmars are uninvolved with USB syncing.
    I can load photos onto the iPhone 3G by connecting to Mac#1. In iTunes, I uncheck "Sync Ringtones", "Sync Music", "Sync Podcasts", "Sync Applications". Nothing selected in the Video tab. My selected set of photos go over to the iPhone just fine.
    On Mac#2, I select "Sync All Ringtones", "Sync selected Playlists", "Sync selected podcasts (1 most recent)", no video, "Sync all Applications".
    After syncing, things are perfect, the iPhone 3G has all my data as I like it. It works.
    But if I want to add more photos, I attach to Mac#1, and the problem starts there.
    Before I sync, I check the settings on the iPhone tab in iTunes. Unfortunately, they show that the sync boxes for "Ringtones", "Music", "Photos", "Podcasts", "Applications" are all selected.
    If I press the Sync button now, a backup occurs.
    Then messages like "Podcasts on the iPhone cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"
    Then I have end up with an iPhone that has no music on it. Has photos though.
    If I unselect the "Sync Music" checkbox, the Sync buttons changes to Apply. Click Apply still creates a iPhone that has no music on it.
    If I unselect the "Sync ringtones" checkbox, a message pops up asking "are you sure you do not want to sync ringtones? All existing ringtones on the iPhone will be removed". Same thing happens i I unselect "Sync Applications".
    Whatever happens, I end up with a iPhone without music.
    Good thing is that, the photos are always preserved on the iPhone. Which means, I can reconnect to Mac#2 to get my music again.
    I find that these settings don't matter:
    * if iTunes is asked to automatically sync on attachment
    * if iTunes on Mac#1 is asked to manually manage the music/video
    * if I use smart playlists to sync podcasts, without using the podcasts tab in iTunes
    I bring this up because, this is similar to the behaviour of my iPod nano 3rd gen.
    However, I am sure that with original jailbroken iPhone with firmware 1.1.4 (jailbroken because I'm in Australia), I could do this seamlessly. I'm guessing, that the jailbreak process adjusted something that allowed the iPhone to do this.
    Also, my experiences varies from the ones on http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/25/manage-iphone-syncing-with-multiple-comput ers/
    And finally, my experience varies from other people who seem to have managed to accomplish what I'm trying to do, on various blogs. However, I am unable to replicate their experiences.
    If I want to preserve photo syncing on the iPhone, and yet still update the playlists on the iPhone, I'm guessing I could just make it a routine to
    1. Sync on Mac#2 first
    2. Sync on Mac#1 to update my photos, and erase all music then
    3. Sync on Mac#2 again.
    Alternatively, I could live without updating my photos on the iPhone, which is a shame because:
    1. My photos live on Mac#1, and syncing allows me to grab photos off the iPhone camera onto Mac#1
    2. The Photo-viewing experience on the iPhone is stupendous.
    I call this a hypotheses, and am throwing it out there in case someone can disprove it.
    Thanks.

    Dear Chik,
    fina analysis. I am experiencing similar problems. I have my music/podcasts on my Work macmini, while I have Photos on my Home laptop. Whenever I connect to my Home laptop it either removes my podcasts (not the music though) or the photos. I haven't yet done a thought experiment on the different settings, but it seems I'm hitting the same wall as you do.
    This link might be useful though:

  • I replaced the hard drive on my Mac, and when I sync my iPhone, only the recent photos will sync, not all of my photos. How can I get my old photos to sync in iPhoto?

    I have just downloaded the latest version of Lion, and I have iCloud.

    Photo sync is 1 way. You can purchase 3rd party software to extract the photos, but be warned, the photos stored on the phone are NOT full resolution. They are reduced in resolution and optimized for the screen on the phone.
    Did you have a Time Machine backup? You can restore them from there.
    The iPhone is NOT intended to be a backup device.

  • ISight Working but only with Photo Booth

    My built-in iSight is not working with several apps including Skype and iChat. iChat gives message being used by different application. the camera does work with Photo Booth. This is a new problem that has developed since upgrading from 10.5 to 10.5.1. I have tried several steps (PMU reset, deleting Photo Booth preferences, etc) but no joy.
    Would appreciate any other thoughts.... There do seem to be a rash of similar issues under discussion at the moment but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me.

    Hello Sanpper F
    (0) Shut down everything and restart your modem, router (if you use one), and Mac. Let each device's self-test complete before starting the next. When all have restarted, check to see if you still have the problem.
    (1) Try all relevant from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 and test again.
    (2) Try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update. Repair permissions after the restart at the completion of the installer run. Then check to see if your trouble is fixed.
    (3) If none of the suggestions you get here solves your problem, when you post back please:
    (a) list every app you tried iSight with that does not work.
    (b) tell whether the problem behaved EXACTLY the same in a new user account
    (c) verify that your QuickTime Streaming Speed preference is set to your broadband speed (not "Automatic")
    (d) list anything else that changed (network or Firewall settings, added hardware or software, etc.) since the problem apps worked correctlly
    If needed, we will try to offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.
