What about Photocasting if your .Mac.
Also try using a flash drive if your don't have .Mac.
.mac is the most effective way to transfer photos (that I know of).

on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

How do I delete photos that were synched from my iMac to my iPhone 5s?

The same way - the sync process.
Select only what you want on the iphone and sync

I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

Can I access the backup for my macbook from my iMac

My MacBook will not boot - time for a new one. Is it possible to access the last backup for thae macbook from my imac?

If you are only after a limited number of files....and not a complete restore of the laptop....you can use Migration Assistant on the iMac to copy the files that you want from the Time Machine backups of the laptop.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant
Connect the iMac to one of the LAN <--> ports on the Time Capsule if you can.......to speed the process 3-6 times over wireless.

Photo printing Looks WACKY from my Imac.

When printing photos to a HP Photosmart Premium printer the colors are washed out and look really bad. When I print from my Macbook Pro there fine. Most of all my photos are on my Imac. Is there a setting I'm not hip to that may be wrong???

If you try to print a duplicate copy of a file from Macbook on your iMac, is it still washed out? If so, it is likely the printer settings.
Are the settings for the printer driver the same on your iMac as they are the Macbook? If not, change the iMac settings to match the Pro. Also, are you using the same type of paper? That can make a difference.
Other possibilities require some color management knowledge. But basically, you would need to make sure your iMac screen is calibrated properly, even if you only use the rough calibration tool of the iMac. That way you have a better chance of getting a print that matches what you see on screen. But check the printer setting first before worrying about the rest.

When you import photos to your ipad from your iMac , do those photos disappear from the iMac?

No. Syncing albums from your computer to your iPad copies the photos to your iPad but leaves them on the computer.

Recently I am getting a message when I try to sync photos to my iPad from my PC in iTunes suggesting that photos already on the iPad will be removed if I sync. I don't want to remove existing photos. Any ideas?I

I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2. The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed. I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync. I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card). Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?

It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well.

How do I sync photos onto my ipad from multiple computers?

My dad just got an ipad and we're trying to sync pictures from multiple computers. He's already synced pictures from his computer. But there are some pictures on my computer that he wants too. Every time I try to sync photos from my comptuer to his ipad, a menu pops up and asks if I want to replace his existing photos. I don't want to replace his photos with my photos. I just simply want to add to his collection of photos.
Of course I can always transfer photos on my computer onto a flash drive and upload it onto his computer. But I want to know if there is a way where I can sync photos from multiple computers onto his ipad without replacing his original pictures.. (and without using a flash drive or emailing pictures)
Thanks

Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad - so you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go. There are third-party apps for the iPad such as Simple Transfer that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad via your wifi network, but they will just go into the Saved Photo/Camera Roll album on the iPad - though with iOS 5 in the Autumn you will then be able to move photos between albums on the iPad

HT4236 Problem when I sync photos to my iPhone from my pc..

Hello.
I have a problem when I sync photos from my pc to my iPhone. I do exactly like it says here ("To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device"), but when I sync, my photos appear two times in two different folders in my Device..
When I did it two years ago (I think) it was ok. But since then, every time my photos appear two times and I can't understand why..
Please help

Photos synced to your phone are not duplicated. iPhone organizes synced photos the same way iPhoto on a Mac does. All photos synced to your phone are stored in your Photos Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos, which are stored in your Photos Library, they are not duplicates, & no , you can't delete the Photo Library.
Its always been like this.

Is there any way to sync created mailboxes [not inboxes] from my iMac to my MBP?

I've created storage mailboxes for each client in Mail [Mavericks] on my main machine [iMac]. But I also check email on my MacBook Pro when I'm onsite or out of town. Is there anyway to sync the created mailboxes? Obviously, the inboxes are all syncing...I'm really just interested in the created mailboxes.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip...unfortunately I've got more than 1 email address feeding those created mailboxes, so I kinda need them in one place.
So do I, but that doesn't keep me from storing them in an IMAP server. I just move the messages from the incoming servers to the appropriate storage server.
Note that the storage server doesn't have to be the same as any of the incoming servers.

IPod doesn't sync photo's or video from computer or iTunes Help!

I love this iPod but it is driving me CRAZY! PLEASE HELP! I have no trouble transferring music to the ipod, but movies I've even purchased from iTunes won't transfer. Additionally, none of my photo's saved in my computer will transfer. The error message I keep receiving is, The iPod Brad's iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
I don't know what disk this error message is referring to. The Nano came with no disk.
I have absolutely no idea how to resolve this problem.
Please help,
Gratefully yours,
