Syncing photos - more than one iPhoto library?

MacPro [10.9.2] & iPhone 5 [7.1]
I have four iPhoto libraries on my Mac.
In iTunes with my iPhone connected, under "Photos" I select "iPhoto" as the syncing source and "all" underneath.
But after the sync only the photos from one of my four libraries is there on my iPhone.
Any idea how I can get all my photos over, albeit they are in four separate libraries? All 4 libraries are in my "Pictures" folder on my Mac.
Thanks.

Try using the iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Is it possible to sync an iPad with more than one iPhoto Library?

    I just backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard-drive to create space on my iMac hard-drive. I then decided to copy and import part of the old library back into the new as I am not finished working with some pictures. The order that they show up is really erratic. I think it would just be easier to be able to sync using files from both libraries. Is this possible and if so how?

    Thanks for the tip and more importantly taking the time! I never thought of looking in the App store, will do.
    I really hate the way that the application iPhoto files jpegs. The same goes for iTunes!

  • Is there a way I can sync and keep more than one iPhoto library from my MacBook on my iPad2?

    Hi, I have several iphoto Libraries on my MacBook - as it's a good way to organize all my photos and keeps them in manageable form - but I would like to keep them on my ipad2 aswell.  In the normal way I can only sync one Library at a time - unless someone knows better!
    Many thanks and hope you can help.

    found solution...i've now got iphone sync'd between new IMac and macbook pro (meaning that I can now add songs, video, from both computers...i don't know about all that sync of contacts and mail, etc...not concerned with that at moment..)
    follow solutions here:....http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-iphone/sync-iphone-with-multiple-macs.html. NOTE: as mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to change my Library Persistent ID, as it would always revert back to the original....however, in the link above, one user, made suggestion to corrupot Itunes Library.itl, and then it will repair itself with Library Persistent ID (of old/original machine), and now it works..!

  • Can't sync to more than one library at a time

    I have deauthorised my desktop running XP,installed latest version of iTunes on laptop running Vista and authorised. Connected iPod to laptop and tried to sync but keep getting message that "iPod is already synced to a library and cannot be synced to more than one library at a time." How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?

    *How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?*
    If our iPod is large enough to hold all of your iTunes it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder from the old computer onto it and transfer everything to the new computer: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Alternatively you can copy the contents of the iPod directly to the new computer. Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

  • Sync with more than one imac?

    How can you sync to more than one IMac?, One at home and one at work and Mac pro for traveling?

    You can sync your contacts and calendar on multiple computers but nothing else. If you sync on a different one than your current computer it will advise you that you synced to a different library and if you choose to sync to the new computer it will erase all media (music, movies, podcasts, photos) and replace them with whatever is on the new computer.

  • Syncing with more than one comptuer.

    Is it possible to sync to more than one computer with out loosing all of the songs you already have. I have a computer and my wife has a computer. I have my playlist and she has hers. She has a song or a movie I would like to watch. Can I sync to her computer get just the one or two songs without loosing all me songs??

    I am sure there is an easier way but here's mine.
    Made both library's manage manually.
    Set the the files I wanted to move to my wifes library as network shared.
    Went to her computer and from her library clicked import chose shared network
    and selected the files to put into her Itunes,and it actually worked
    Hope somewhat helpful till someone who really knows what their doing comes along.

  • Apple won't let me sync with more than one computer

    How crazy is it that Apple will not let you sync with more than one computer! I have three computers! One in the kitchen one in my room and one at my parents house. These are all my computers, but if I try to sync my iphone5! with my computer at my parents house itunes says it will erase all my data! I have legally purchased all my music, so I have bought the rights! which means I can have the same songs on mutiply computers.
    I've seen posts like this before, so I know Im not the only one who knows that this is unexceptable! Apple knows too! So heres how we gonna do this, **** itunes and **** apple, they can suck it! I'm sick of Apple and how they try to control everything you do, with their limited youtube video capacity because they "dont allow flash".
    All Apple care about is taking your money, otherwise they would listen to what their customers are saying. These posts are on an apple site after all.
    Thats my opinion, vote this up if you feel the same way.
    Thanks

    I understand what you mean.  If you would have a little more technical background to what is happening when you sync and iOS device, you would understand that the reason for syncing with only one computer is not to control you but is rather to manage the syncing.
    For exemple, how would you manage to backup a device on multiple computer while some songs or apps are on your iOS device but not on the computer?  Copying them back to the computer would only result in what you don't want, keeping different iTunes library on different computer.
    The very best solutions for you is either;
    Make one of your iTunes library the master with ALL your media files and use this one for syncing your device.  You can easily manage all your music using automated playlist (like one for all the music with an older date you would decide).
    Pay for iTunes match and ALL your song (even those you haven't bought from iTunes) to be available in the cloud for you to stream directly to your iPhone.  This however have a monthly fee.
    I agree that on one thing Apple is controlling; it's by not allowing you to extract songs from an iPod.  Giving home sharing now, that would solely restrict you from illegally copying music to others.  But again, you must understand that this limitation isn't to be powerfreak, it have been required to secure the music industries and make iTunes Store possible in the first place.
    And make shure you active Home Sharing as it will give you full access (stream and copy over wi-fi from any computer and iOS devices) in between your iTunes libraries.

  • Can't seem to sync with more than one computer???

    I loaded I-tunes on my laptop and then tried to load on my desktop computer with no luck. Can you only sync through one computer or am I missing something?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you just need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos". You can't sync from more than one library.

  • Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?

    I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?

    The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
    The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.

  • Syncing to more than one computer?

    Is it possible to sync an iPad to more than one computer?  When I first bought it, I couldn't get iTunes to install on my desktop computer, so I used my dad's computer (signed in to my Apple account) to activate my iPad and add about 10 e books I had in PDF form.  Now I have iTunes on my laptop (and live in a different house than the original computer) and I want to connect my iPad to it to add some music and photos.  Is this okay to do, or will it wipe out everything on my iPad?

    I think Apple did think the design through. It was designed to be a single user device linked to one iTunes account and one iTunes library. I know people buy new computers. That's why backing up your iTunes content to an external hard drive or to DVD is a good idea. Then you can transfer your iTunes library to your new computer. Many people just don't think about that.
    However, there are ways to get all of your content from the iPad to a new computer. Read this thread that I will reference here below. It has helped a number of users transfer their iPad content to a new iTunes library on a new computer.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
    Read Demo and King Penguin posts. If you do as instructed, you should be OK.
    Remember that you must turn off auto sync in iTunes first, transfer purchases next, then backup the iPad after that. Do not sync before you do those three things.
    There are references to third party apps that can help with photos in the thread as well.

  • Sharing more than one iTunes library with one iPod

    Hi.
    I've tho Mac connected together. I've two different libraries, one for ech one. Well, I'd like to charge my iPod with songs from the two libraries. How can I proceed? I've tried to share the libraries, I can listen to the tracks but no way to transfer to the iPod.
    Thanks in advence for your help.
    Regards

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one library or computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • IPhone 4 sync to more than one computer

    I have iPhone 4 that I want to sync iTunes library to more than one computer (1 iMac and 1 PC). PC was previously synced with old device. I want to sync iTunes library currently on iPhone and override data on PC. How do I do this? I do NOT want iTunes library currently on PC and override iPhone.

    You do not do this.
    Iphone will, and always has, only sync pics and itunes content to ONE computer. IF you sync to another it will erase the current content, then replace with content from the new computer.
    This is by design and as intended.
    Sorry.

  • How to sync up more than one iphone/ipod to a PC

    I'm frustrated because i've run into a problem and its really cumbersome to fix.
    i have several ipods and me and my girl both have iphones (5 ipods and 2 iphones).
    we have one PC.
    when i sync up my ipod, i can xfer music and videos to it w/o problems but if i connect her ipod it wont allow me to xfer music to it. i can dock it and see it but simply gives me the black cirle with a slash thru it, denies me adding playlists to it.
    same with iphone. i literally need 1 PC per ipod/iphone in order to sync up the music and movies we want on them.
    how does one copy over their music onto various ipods if you only have one PC. all our music is stored ont he PC. to fix i would need to create a virtual OS, then copy over all my music onto it to sync up but i find it hard to believe that apple did not think of this?
    the expected result while using itunes...is to be able to sync up any ipod or iphone to itunes, and be able to copy over any playlist or movie.
    i have bought all my dvds and cds and ripped them, whay am i not allowed to place them on more than one ipod or iphone?
    Message was edited by: Host

    thanks for those tips. i looked at those links. they are helpful but i dont need to create user profiles nor link to other music libraries.
    why it fails...when i dock a 2nd iphone it sees data on it....the expected or desired result is, it just leaves data there but allows me to add more. this is the part i cant get past.
    i did try making a new user account and multiple libraries, but still same problem.
    my ultimate desire is to be able to connect more than one iphone to same PC and xfer data to it and also take the iphone to another PC. so the idea is to move my iphone from work and home and have it sync up with data thats on each one.
    the auto sync and auto start when i dock iphone is disabled.
    but when i sync up it somehow senses this iphone docks at another PC and does not recognize the media on it as being on this PC.
    i deally i dont want to clutter each PC with the same data. i'd like to just keep the music and movies on the iphone and merely add from different PCs. meaning if i dock it at work, it wont have the same music or movies on it. basically i dont want to add redudant files to it that are already on my home PC, i just wish to add music from my work pc to it.
    sometimes my wife comes to my workplace and notices i ripped a new album, she wants to dock her iphone and xfer it over, but itunes wont allow it, popping up a message saying she has to wipe it in order to sync up with.
    i'm not sure why the ipods wont allow me to sync up music, it sees the device and shows playlists but if i try to add a playlist i get a little black icon stating its denied. i'm not worried about ipd right now. its the iphone i'm trying to figure out, how to get past this problem.
    originally it started with one PC to do everything but since we could not we decided to start using our work computers. and now that we sync up to them we cant freely sync up to home PCs now, hence the frustration.
    i'm trying to figure out how to use iphones between multiple PCs, single PC. it all seems so complicated yet all we want to do is simply dock, and xfer over data (all PCs are disable auto sync), we jsut want to specifically sync up only particular playlists, movies, wallpapers.
    for contacts we gave up on outlook as we get some itunes outlook error about a service failing so we do it via yahoo.
    we export out outlook contacts to yahoo and simply use yahoo to merge contacts.
