Syncing iPhoto on iPad (iOS) with iPhoto on Mac. How to?

I am using iPhoto on Mac as well as iPhoto on iPad.
Being a heavy (pro) user of iPhoto on Mac, I always organise by Keywords and Stars. When doing on Mac then syncing to iPad, it is easy. However if I were to go overseas and just bring my iPad with me, I would want to organise my photos using iPhoto on iPad (iOS), and create Stars and Keyword. But it seems it is not possible to sync it back to the Mac with my organised album.
How do I organise my photos on iPhoto on iOS, then sync the organised albums (with keywords and stars) with the iPhoto on the Mac?

Leonard,
I do not know of any smart folders, but for each tag you define, iPhoto on the iPad will automatically create a (smart) album containing all photos with this tag.
See this page of the iPhoto Online Help: 
What are albums? http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkb9b1e2a
iPhoto creates the following albums as needed:
Camera Roll: After you install iPhoto on your device, photos you take with your device appear in this album.
Recent: The photos most recently added to iPhoto appear in this album.
Edited: Photos you edit using iPhoto. This includes photos you add captions to.
Flagged: Photos you flag.
Favorites: Photos you tag as favorites.
[Custom]: Photos you add a custom tag to.
iTunes: Photos imported from iTunes using file sharing.
[App]: Photos sent directly from other apps to iPhoto.
Beamed: Photos beamed from another device.
AirDrop: Photos transferred from another device using AirDrop.
Photo Box: If a photo appears in an album (Edited, Favorites, Journals, or
So your "tagged" albums will be created automatically on the iPad.
I just hope that Apple would make this app more "compatible", so that things we do on the iPad could be transferred/synced to the Mac.
Yes, let's hope. Apple seems to be dragging the feet about syncing photo libraries, however. You cannot even sync two iPhoto libraries on the mac.

  • I have an iPhone 4S running software 5.1 (9B179) and cannot sync the photos in PhotoStream with iPhoto '11 v 9.2.1 (628). There's no option to update iPhoto and no option of PhotoStream (which is enabled on my phone). Can anyone help?

    Thanks, Peter. 
    The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications.  This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files.  I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect.  I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed.  Will let you know if that makes any difference.  I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches.  If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
    Best,

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • Have you tried your iPhoto 5 DVD backups with iPhoto 6?

    Hi,
    Have you tried your iPhoto 5 DVD backups with iPhoto 6?
    When I upgraded to iPhoto 5 I had to rebuild all my previous iPhoto 4 backups to the new version. It took hours and I had to re-burn the DVDs in the new format.
    Thanks,
    -meny

    Hi Lori,
    I meant a CD or DVD burned from within iPhoto 5.
    If you made such CD/DVD in iPhoto 4 and opened it in iPhoto 5, the library had to be rebuilt. This took up to 15 minutes.
    If iPhoto 6 can open iPhoto 5 libraries without a need to rebuild, that's great news!

  • Whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

    whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

    Nobody can tell you which one is best for you, it's a personal preference. However, here are a few factors you might want to take into consideration:
    1-They're two different devices that serve different purposes. The way you take notes in an iPad is different than the way you would on a MBA. On the iPad, with apps like Evernote and Notability you can take more complete notes than with a MBA. You have the option to have audio notes, write with a Stylus, make diagrams by hand to explain/relate concepts easily. With the external keyboard (for that I'd recommend using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the InCase Origami Workstation) you could type just as fast as you would on a MBA and format the text just like you would on the MBA. However, for bigger (possibly partner) papers, the MBA would help you. You could start the paper on the iPad without any issues (using Pages or even Evernote) but you'd need a laptop/computer to finalize the project.
    2-Portability wise, they're both incredibly light. The iPad is somewhat smaller = lighter but with the keyboard they're about the same. The fact that with the ipad + keyboard combo you can take out the keyboard only when you need it, for me, is an advantage be ause when I don't want to use it, it's not in the way. For others, it's a disadvantage because you have to carry two items instead of one.
    3-The iPad needs a computer to be updated, synced, etc. So if you don't have one, definitely get the MBA. The MBA can work as a standalone computer. The iPad needs to be synced to an iTunes library in a computer.
    4-MBA let's you access all websites and most file types. If one of your classes requires you to go to the Browser and see a Flash enabled page, the iPad would not be of much help. Same goes for any programs you might need to install. On the MBA you'll most likely be able to do so. On the iPad, chances are there won't be an app for that.
    5-If you already have a MBP or any other laptop, I'd go for the iPad. If/when the iPad falls short(because of the limitations mentioned above) you can use the laptop. And in the mean time, use the iPad for everything else. That way you get the best of both worlds.
    6-Studying (reading, highlighting, annotating) is easier and more intuitive on the iPad. The iPad is great for reading, combine that with the fact that you can leave comments/notes just like you would on a physical piece of paper, and you've got the best way to learn IMO.

  • Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

    How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?  I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
    Thanks!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer.  Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer.  The iphone is not a storage device.
    The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

  • Ipad and iphone with IOS 7 but older Mac - How?

    I have an IMac with 10.5.8 system and iTunes 10.6.3. I recently got an iphone 5 and ipad 3 with IOS 7. Now I cannot sync them with my itunes library. It refuses to recognise them and tells me to upgrade to iTunes 11.1. but I cannot and when i try to update my Imac OS it will not let me either saying I all software is upto date. What do I do to get my stuff onto my ipad - I have a library of personal / family vids I converted to play and sync from my itunes account but now cannot get them onto my ipad / iphone? Wireless transfer works fine for stuff and apps purchased from iTunes but I have a couple of itunes accounts, one from years back but has a lot of stuff on it (UK one) and a newer one I had to create on moving to Japan permamently as I now have no registered address in the UK. How do I add an additional Apple ID to my iphone / ipad? Can this even be done anymore?
    Beginning to wish I had never upgraded to ios 7 as all worked fine before. Can I undo this upgrade?
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    1. A Mac needs to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync devices running iOS 7; Mac OS X 10.6 is available from the online Apple Store and requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.
    2. There is no way back.

  • I have iPad 2 with 4.3.2 how do I upgrade to at least 6

    I have an IPad 2 and need to update to at least 6 or 7. My settings won't let it update. What do I need to do?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • IPad ios 7 Pop account setup, how do I avoid IMAP

    My new iPad (ios 7) sets up cox email accounts as IMAP accounts. Default settings in IMAP seem to delete the email from the cox server immediately. I would like to set up my cox account as a POP account so I can have the emails remain on the COX server after I have read and deleted them on the iPad.
    TIA!

    I know this is old but it's google #1 for the relevant search and it took me a while
    Settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> pick the imap account -> advanced 
    Move discarded emails to:
    Pick the 'archive' option
    I have no idea why, must be apple logic, but with delete being the default that's all you can do, when archive is the selection it replaces the deleted button but you can hold it down to get a delete/trash option also.
