Syncing iPhoto Albums With My Video iPod

Using OS X.3.9 and iPhoto 6.x:
When I sync iPhoto with my new iPod (video), will I be able to browse the photos on the iPod by the same Album names used in iPhoto? Will the iPod list my Albums?
For example, can I present a slideshow of a certain Album on my iPod, then a totally different Album on the same iPod, etc.?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Connect your iPod and wait for it to be recognized in iTunes.
Click iTunes > Preferences
Click the iPod button
Click the photo tab beneath it
You can select to sync your photos from iPhoto
I believe you can also tell it to sync only selected albums, which will enable you to see your photos according to these albums when you browse them on your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

Sync iPhoto album with iCloud photo stream

I have a couple of albums - used basically as categories.
I want to be able to sync the albums with iCloud. I know you could just add the photos to an iCloud photostream, but it takes a couple extra minutes each time when you do that.
So basically, I want my albums to be copied as iCloud albums, and then just updated automatically when I add a new photo to that album.

Not possible. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Syncing iphoto albums with a mobileme gallery

How do I sync a iphoto album with a mobileme gallery?
When I update the album in iphoto, it doesn't update on the gallery on MM.
Thanks !!

If you update the web gallery album it updates the web (do not do an update during an update - this still can cause problems)
I will request a host move this thread to the iPhoto '08 forum

Can't sync iPhoto albums with Sony Bridge for Mac

When I connect the Sony Xperia Z3 compact to the mac the Sony Bridge for Mac shows up. I select the option to explore iPhoto. At first nothing shows up (Sony developers, it would be nice to at least show a spinner or progress bar) but after a while events appear. However all other picture categories (faces, albums, pictures or last importation) don't show up.
Since I prefer to organize pictures by albums rather than events I can't sync anything, as I have no options to check. I'm using Sony Bridge for Mac 3.8.3(3831) and iPhoto 9.5.3 (902.17). Does somebody know how to solve this?
Solved!

Hi Asle!
I'm very sorry to hear that you have a problem with BFM.
I will try to help but I need some more information.
(1) The build number of your phone
(2) The android version you are using
(3) The version of iPhoto
It would also be very nice if you can send me the error logs.
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me
Best regards
Fredrik

Syncing iPhoto Album with iWeb site?

I have an Album in iPhoto that I want to use as slide show in iWeb. Easy enough, I create a photo page and drag the album on the placeholder. But iWeb does not update its view of what is in iPhoto unless I restart iWeb (ugly) and the Album used is not automatically updated, I have to remove all images and drag the album back in.
Is that as it is supposed to work? Or is somewhat more intelligent behaviour in iWeb possible?
Using iPhoto 8.1.2 and iWeb 3.0.3 (iLife '09) which came with my iMac last September.

There is no dynamic updating of albums or photos pages in iWeb. If you add photos to the album in iPhoto you'll have to add those new photos into the photo page or the album or the photo page.
You don't need to remove all images and add them back again with the new ones. Just drag the new photos into in with the others.

Anybody having problem syncing iphoto albums with iphone 4s?

in itunes its showing the photos are on my phone but they arent. when i restart itunes it goes back to the amount on my phone. also ever since i aded the album to be synced my phone hasnt been able to sync to my computer. my system is up to date. my iphone hasnt been plugged into any other computer. my old iphone 4. sadface.

Turn Off the icloud synch on all devices
Determine which device will be the inital source of contacts and add all the desired contacts to it. When you are done, turn iCloud synch back on for that device
Remove contyacts fort the other devices, then
Turn iCloud back on for contacts on all devices
It may take a little while for the synch to complete

Syncing iPhoto albums to iPhone 4-is there a limit to number of photos in album

I was able to sync a small album with 69 photos from iPhoto to the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5 without a problem. First I synced it as "Last Import" with no edits whatsoever, fresh from downloading from the camera, and then I synced as an album with a number of edits. No problem. When I try to sync an album with about 1100 photos in, only about a quarter of the photos are synced. This not a problem with my first generation 8GB iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. What gives?

Same problem! I have 530 pics in one Album - but when I sync my to my iPhone 4 - only 56 of the pics are transferred. I have done a full Restore on the iPhone and Rebuilt the database on iPhoto. This appears to be happening only since Lion 10.7.1.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
AK

Video purchased from iTunes Music Store not compatible with my video iPod?

I purchased the White Stripes music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" from iTunes, but when I plug in my video iPod, it says it can't copy it over because it "can't be played" on my iPod. I don't understand what to do! All the other videos I've purchased from iTunes has copied/played fine...
Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Is it a bad video and I need to seek a replacement from Apple? I'm using iTunes 6.1, not the newest iPod updater (because of all the problems with it), video iPod, and Windows XP.
Thanks!

I need help! I've followed some suggestions from people at the IGN forums, but nothing has worked so far. I'm in the process of waiting on a reply from Apple.
Please help!

IPHOTO 09 WONT SYNC SELECTED ALBUMS WITH IPHONE 4 VIA ITUNES

I am posting this as a question and will proceed to answer it as per the solution provided by Applecare case id
265819669
System
I run Powemac G5 OSX 10.5.8 Leopard, iLife 09 and iPhone 4 & iPad2
Software versions are iPhoto 09 V 8.1.2, iTunes and iOS 5.01 on theiPad and iPhone
Problem 1
Following software updates on all my devices I began to run into sync problems with my iphone 4, namely error message 1104
On contacting my mobile service provider they suggested:
connect iphone to itunes, selected photo tab and untick the box sync photos from iphoto then proceed to sync
Solution 1
This allowed iphone 4 to sync thus eliminating my 1104 error message problem
Problem 2
iPhone 4 will no longer sync selected albums, events and faces with iPhone 4
After level 3 escalation within Apple the problem was reffered to iphoto computer support who delievered this fix.
It was identified as a problem with my iphoto library not being seen by itunes despite my iphoto library functioning normally (or so I thought).
Solution 2 (I will try and articulate this as best as I can)
Open iPhoto app whilst alt key is depressed
select/ locate the iphoto library source file from your hard drive which itunes is using. This now tells you where iphoto library resides ie this is your library in which all your photos slideshows and star rating data resides.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIX IT WAS AGREED TO RESTORE AN EARLIER VERSION OF MY IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP - TIME MACHINE SAVED THE DAY HERE - TAKE HEED - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKING UP AT THIS STAGE, JUST FOR SAFETY SAKE.
Go to Time machine, locate iPhoto library and then select restore.
The file will be restored to it's original location and you can now begin to work on the fix without jeopardising your original library
Close iphoto, and reset system
Open iPhoto with alt key depressed, select the recently restored file
Open itunes and try and sync your iOS device
Does the selected, albums and faces tabs in Photo tab now work? If so problem solved, if not read on.
Restart system
Open iPhoto with the alt and command key depressed
(You will be working on the restored file as iphoto located this automatically when opening - see previous note)
a list of boxes will appear detailing repair permission etc - ensure all are ticked and follow instruction to rebuild reorganise the iphoto library. Sorry for being vague here but I can't remember the screen details.
Let iphoto rebuild the iPhoto library file
close iPhoto and restart system
Try the sync process again in itunes. Does the Photo tab option whick allows you to select pictures, albums and faces should now work?
If so, problem solved, well almost. If not, refer for further help.
Given you have just cured the problem with a restored backup iPhoto library file, should you need to work on your most recent file since that back up, repeat solution 2 from the beggining. Once complete, you will need to move the iPhoto library file which didn't sync to the trash.
Should you have events in your originl iPhoto library which don't reside in your backup file, export these events into folders by using export "current" feature in iPhoto, then drage them bag into your new library once your problem is solved.
USE GREAT CAUTION HERE, DON'T DELTE YOUR TRASH UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY.
I hope this helps someone, if so please let me know.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Problem with Aperture not syncing iPhoto albums to iPad

Want to sync a few choice old photo albums created in iPhoto to my iPad. Since I am now running that old iPhoto library in Aperture I should be able to sync selected albums via iTunes, Aperture and USB.
I looked at iTune's photo sync screen and saw that iTunes still distinquishes between iPhoto and Aperture libraries, i.e. one needs to make a choice.
I selected Aperature in the "Sync Photos from" popup and got the following err message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
My iPhoto/Aperture libary easily opened again in Aperture but for the life of me I can not see a preference provision for previewing Aperture albums in anything other than iLife and iWork which was already enabled.
Perhaps Apple is a bit slow in upgrading the detail in their latest Aperture version or are simply screwing people who favor syncing well chosen albums on their iPad in lieu of using iCloud which would require a lot of extra redundant effort to recreate favorite albums so much more easily created in iPhoto/Aperature.

I was experiencing this exact same problem for days and none of the fixes I have found have worked for me, including the one listed here. Only un-installing Aperture allowed me to again sync my iPhoto albums individually again to my iPad2/iPhone4S. Even after re-generating the library for previews/thumbnails, as other posts have suggested to do in Aperture, I still could not see the option to select individual iPhoto Albums as it was greyed out in iTunes.
So here is the simple and odd fix that has just worked for me. When iTunes tells you: "Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications." Do just the opposite. In Aperture Preferences under Preview, with the dropdown after Share Previews with iLife and iWork: select NEVER.
Now if when you open iTunes again, and your option to select individual folders is still greyed out (as happened to me on occastion clearly) do this. Uncheck Sync Photos from iPhoto, select Keep Photos or not depending on what you want and then quit iTunes and DON'T APPLY changes. When you restart iTunes, you should now be able to select individual iPhoto albums.
I realize this doesn't give you options with syncing Aperture Projects, but hey, hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

Problem viewing album artwork on video ipod

My problem is that I'm unable to view album artwork on my ipod in full screen, whether it's from the itunes store or if I copy/paste an album cover pic myself. You can see the artwork fine on the left next to the song/artist/album, it's just blank when you want to see it full screen. The thing is that my ipod is Windows formatted and this has only been happening since I got a Mac and have been doing all my itunes/ipod stuff on it. I wanna know if this is normal for a Windows formatted ipod on a Mac or if there is a way to fix this (without formatting it to Macintosh) because all my other songs with artwork that I synced with Windows show up fine in full screen view. Please let me know. Thanks.

After you added the album work to your songs, did you import or re-import those songs to the IPOD?

Syncing iPhoto albums onto iPad/iPhone

Since my latest update on my MacBook Pro the iPhoto option of "selected albums, Events and Faces" no longer works. I am only able to sync "All photos, albums, Events and Faces" to my iPads and iPhone. I then have to re-create albums on these devices. If this option is still on iTunes it should still be available.

Can't sync iPhoto albums to iPhone

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:
iTunes can sync my Schedules / Calendars / Bookmarks fine. But it has a problem with photos.
I can sync photos from my "Pictures" folder - but not from iPhoto. iTunes doesn't see any iPhoto albums at all, so there's no way to select or sync them. The list is blank, even though I have plenty of photo albums in iPhoto, just waitin' to be synced. (sunc?)
Does anyone else have this problem?
How can I get iTunes to see my iPhoto albums?

I have this problem as well, but I have my iPhoto set up in a funny way. I used ACLs to share the photo library between my account and my wife's account (why Apple doesn't make this easier, I don't know, as lots of families share photos). If I am syncing successfully on my account and then switch to my wife's account, none of the photo albums show up in iTunes for syncing. If I quit iTunes, launch iPhoto, quit, and relaunch iTunes it works fine. But then I have to do the same thing once I switch back to my account.

When I try to sync iPhoto Album I get an Uknown Error -50

My iPhone syncs up just fine in every aspect. Except for Photos. I have read all the problems with the iPhoto Albums not showing up in iTunes. I am having that same problem, so I decided to just select the "All photos & albums" option, even though I can't control which albums to select because they don't show up.
Now when I start the sync process, everything is still fine. It syncs the contacts, calendars, bookmark, but before it get's to Photos, it stops syncing and gives me the "Unknown Error -50" message. Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
Thanks - Mike
PS I tried using terminal to see what the problem was with the AlbumData.xml file, but couldn't get the command to work properly because my iPhoto Album is not in my user folder. It is in a seperate hard drive.

You mention that your iPhoto Album is on a separate hard drive and outside your user name or home folder. If you ment "iPhoto Library" take a look at this post.
