Syncing iPhoto and iPhone Albums

When I create a photo album in iPhoto, it shows up in my iPhone after I sync, but when I create an album with Photos on my iPhone, it does not show up in iPhoto after I sync.  Is this how it's supposed to work?

If you don't want your photo albums from iPhoto to sync to your iPhone you need to turn off the photo sync option for your iPhone in iTunes. 
Open iTunes with iPhone connected usb -> click on iPhone (at left column) -> click on photo tabs (main screen far right) -> deselect "sync photos from"
Now, if you want certain photos to show your friends you can create a folder and then select it from the above process.
Hope this helps.

  • How to find cause of "File cannot be found" in sync iphoto to iphone in itunes?

    Hi can anyone help with syncing iPhoto to iPhone ?     I know similar posts exist on this subject but I have spent 4 days reading them and every support article even vaguely related to it but have not found a solution that works for me.   I have downloaded the latest iTunes, deleted the itunes helper p'list, deleted the ipod photo cache, tried copying my iPhoto library to another HD and syncing with that, tried switching the phone on and off while connected with iTunes and when not, done innumerable restarts, unchecked the sync photos box to delete library photos from the iphone and tried again, rebuit the iPhoto Library, repaired permissions, rebuilt thumbnails, and a few other suggestions I've read and all these many many times in the hope that this time it might work and all to no avail.     When syncing,  iTunes verifies the phone, backs it up, syncs everything else then analyses the iPhoto library, optimises the photos and then starts to copy them and after a few moments gives me that familiar message that the " iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found "  My iphone tells me " iTunes Sync Needed.  High Resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer ...launch iTunes to sync them."  Where the photos used to be in each album or event that is still listed there are just black boxes.   I use the iphoto library on my iPhone for work purposes, at least I used to and I still need to.  This is really driving me nuts and I am sure it's rectifiable but I am clueless as to what to do to fix it.  I'm sure someone out there knows what I should do and I really need to know! PLEASE !

    It works on my Windows 7 laptop.
    iTunes has to be started.
    Are you sure you have Windows Explorer set to show file extensions?
    Sounds like you renamed it from "FindDeadTracks.txt" to "FindDeadTrack.js.txt" if it is still opening in notepad.
    All I do is have itunes started, double-click on the .js file, and let it run. My library is pretty large so it takes more than a 1/2 hour to finish going through all the tracks. It comes back with a message, "0 dead tracks found" and the little notepad results file it creates is blank.
    If you DO have dead tracks, it comes back with a message like "15 dead tracks" found and the results file lists those 15 tracks.
    The name of the results file is "Dead Tracks.txt"

  • About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

    About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
    About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
    I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
    My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
    any help appreciated - thanks

    With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
    It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • How to sync photos on iphone album to iphoto

    i recently got a new hard drive for my macbook, so all my photos on iphoto are gone. i still have the photos on my iphone, but they're in their own album, and everytime i try to sync my iphone to iphoto, i can only access the photos in the camera roll. is there a way to trasnfer the photos in the iphone albums to iphoto?

    Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos are reduced on your iPhone. This is why Apple does not support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.
    Photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Did you lose all important data on your computer's hard drive, or just your iPhoto library?
    There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring this data in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos is lost.
    Here is one.

  • Syncing iphoto with iPhone 4s - photos suddenly rearranged!!!!

    My iPhoto ALBUMS key pictures are being rearranged when I sync with my iphone 4s...  This only began occurring after I updated to IOS 6 last week...
    In iPhoto ALBUMS, the key photo is the first photo in each album...  When I sync my iphone 4s with my Mac Air, the ALBUM key photo becomes the last photo in the ALBUMS...  Is there any way to fix this???

    In iPhoto try manually selecting each photo and Import.

  • Cannot sync iPhoto to iPhone 6 on iTunes

    Hardware
    MacBook Pro (17 inch, mid 2009) Processor: 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  Storage: 500GB.
    iPhone 6 Plus: 64GB.  Bought 1 week ago.
    iPhoto latest version.
    Software
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    I have over 43,000 photos in my iPhoto and I bought a new iPhone 6 Plus so I am trying to sync specific events and albums back to the iPhone.  The issue is that with 43,000 photos, iTunes just has a grey loading spiral going round and round in circles so it will not let me choose the normal menu which allows you to sync automatically or manually sync photos.  It has been doing this for a day.  I thought it might eventually pull itself together but, alas, not.
    Help?
    Is there a way to fix this or another app which allows me to sync the albums, event etc?

    Hi Kproch,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues syncing or importing photos from your iPhone 6 to your iMac running Yosemite, you may find the steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Can no longer sync iPhoto to iPhone

  • Syncing iPod and iPhone to same library

    When I purchased my iPhone it connected to the iTunes library I already had for my iPod, however when I tried to connect my iPod to this library it said it was synced to another library. I cut my losses and erased and synced the iPod to the phone library. Ive just purchased some albums from iTunes and synced them to my iPod but now the iPhone keeps saying it is synced to another library and is giving me the option to erase and sync, why is this? I have songs on the phone that I have purchased on iTunes before i had the phone that synced to it but I will lose them if I erase and sync.

    You can sync as many iphones and/or ipods as you like to one library.
    We have two iphones and three ipods synced to our one library/computer.
    The iphone will sync with ONE library/computer at a time. If you sync to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the iphone, then replace with content from the new computer.

  • Sync iPod and iPhone to same MacBook

    i currently have an ipod touch with OS 3.1.2 that sync's calendar & contacts via mobile me, and everything else via USB to itunes on my MacBook Pro.
    in two weeks i'll take delivery of an iphone & would then like to keep both this and the ipod touch up to date with contacts, calendar etc.
    will there be any problem with synching both the ipod and iphone with itunes on the same laptop ?
    and also - would i be correct to assume that i will need to download / buy any apps i want on the new iphone again & that if i sync with itunes it won't transfer everything over from the ipod ?
    btw - this is probably irrelevant to these questions, but i also have an MacBook Air synchronised via mobile me but don't connect that MBA to the ipod.
    thanks,
    mark

    You can sync as many ipods and iphones as you like to one computer.
    Each is a different device and you can put whatever yo like on each.
    You can share the same apps between the two devices - no need to repurchase.

  • Iphoto and organizing albums...

    I'm slowly learning iphoto and I'm having a hard time with organizing albums/folders.  I like to organize my pictures by using albums/folders like in windows.  I've created albums/folders and I'm taking the photos from events and putting them into these newly named albums/folders.  The problem is that when I go to move them around to organize by my preference, I can't drop and drag without the album/folder going into another album/folder.  It does allow me to drop to the bottom, but it goes into the last album/folder and then I have to move it out of that.  It's very cumbersome and there has to be an easier way, I'm making due, but I'm doing things that are very confusing and time consuming. 

    Folder drag and drop the same way as albums do. Movie Test Folder 1 to between the other two folders:
    Select, drag and drop
    to give you this:
    One just needs to be sure the cursor is at the far left before releasing.

  • After closing iphoto and restarting Albums dissapear

    library is kept on a Zip disk. After closing iPhoto and restarting all the albums dissappear. Pics are still in the library but all albums and sorted pics are gone. I'm getting ready to go back to "Jpeg View".

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select  
              Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    ☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    ☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    ☞ What is the Modified date?
    If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • IMac Calendar wont sync, iPad and iPhone do

    Recent update to Mountain Lyon and iTunes, iPad, and iPhone all up to date. iPhone and iPad Calendars sync to each other, but iMac Calendar will not sync.
