Syncing photos to iPhoto issue

So I am using the latest Sony Bridge for Mac and trying ti import photos from iPhoto to my Xperia S through the software.  It starts opying photos then stops part way through.  Anyone else having an issue with the syncing to iPhoto?

I do, I haven't find a way around this, I have similar issues with PCs when I try to transfer my pictures.

  • Can 2 Macs sync photos in iPhoto Library?

    Hi everyone,
    I have 2 Macs (iMac and MacBook both got 10.5.6 and iPhoto 09)
    and I'm just wondering if I can sync photos in iPhotos on both Macs.
    What I want to do is I just transfer photos from my camera to only one Mac
    and then somehow 2 Macs have same photos.
    Normally 2 Macs are connected wirelessly night time,
    so somehow they can sync iPhoto Library automatically.
    Like syncing contacts between iPhone and Mac...
    Is there any way? or I'm just lazy...
    Thank you,
    Hiro

    Since I recently purchased an iMac to go along with my MacBook Pro, I am now having this same dilemma. So far, the options seem to be cloud based syncs, local syncs, and local sharing.
    Right away, local sharing is out for me since I want both computer to effectively be duplicates of one-another. In other words, I want my transition from working on one computer to the next to be nearly transparent.
    For local sync, I am trying out ChronoSync as I have constantly heard it recommended, but there seems to be a major issue. When you open and close an iPhoto library, regardless of whether you change any content, it changes the modification date. Thus, if I were to load new pics on my MacBook, then open my iMac iPhoto and realize they weren't there, then sync (assuming a bi-directional sync setup), I would actually overwrite the MacBook because the package file on the iMac shows as newer. Bam, data lost. These package files Apple loves to use sure look elegant, but are causing problems all over the syncing world. Luckily, if you have Time Machine running, you can at least experiment with all of this with a relative degree of safety. The other nit-picky downside to local sync is that you have to establish a connection between the two computers to sync, meaning they both need to be on, and at least one needs file sharing active, which is a security concern.
    The next option seems to be cloud-based sync. Dropbox is popular, but 2GB doesn't come close to my needs and when you start to get into the pay-for service, the capabilities look less impressive. Currently I am trying SugarSync. SugarSync looks like the end-all, be-all of sync/back-up, until you read the known issues. Again, the package files used for things like iPhoto (and other great apps like LicenseKeeper, 1Password, etc) are not supported. I am guessing it is for similar reasons--i.e. no ability to resolve which package is really the newest, regardless of the modification date. As a side-note, I find it a bit irritating that these companies advertise as if all these capabilities work, and worse, charge for a service that is incomplete. What Mac user doesn't want to at least sync iTunes and iPhoto? That's why we buy these softwares, after all. Anyway, I digress.
    There is always iDisk too, if you are willing to pay for MobileMe. Thus far I am not really impressed with the performance of iDisk and everything I read suggests that iDisk's performance really takes a dive when working with--you guessed it--package files. Apple's left hand is clearly not talking to their right.
    Notably, when setting up my new iMac, I was able to just copy over the whole iTunes and iPhoto library and they work just fine on the new mac. Thus, I think local sync at least has more promise right now (since most cloud-based syncs are based on incremental change for bandwidth purposes).
    This all begs the question--with Time Machine's phenomenal success, why not expand that service into a backup/sync capable program. It makes total sense--time machine backs up every few minutes and is accessible via things like AirPort Extreme, or a host of the newer NASs that support TimeMachine. Moreover, TimeMachine supports all of Apples file conventions and is a language any Mac with Leopard forward understands. In other words, it would be great to have a single TimeMachine that worked for both my computers, keeping each one backed up and in sync, without the need to have two instantiations of TimeMachine. I realize this is not perfect, as many people keep different software setups or amounts of data on different computers, but nonetheless, I think that would be a killer upgrade that would move even more people into the Mac arena, or move more people with one Mac to invest in two. But, that's just my 2¢.

  • Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

    I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2. 
    for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync.  I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up.  I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
    So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue?????  I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

  • Can no longer sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad or iPhone

    I can no longer sync from iTunes to my iPad or iPhone if I want to sync photos from iPhoto.  I keep getting the following error:
    "The iPad "XXXXXXXXXX" cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to."
    If I choose not to sync photos everthing works fine.

    I had a similar problem only neither my iPad nor my iPhone would sync and I was getting error 1106.
    I looked it up and it said delete the iphoto cache, which I did and I also turned of syncing photos.
    Now when I turn on SYNC PHOTOS FROM, the choice of Select albums........ is greyed out and cannot be clicked.
    I don't want to sync my entire set of photos.

  • Can't Sync Photos from iPhoto

    Since I got my iPod last December, I have not been able to sync photos from iPhoto 4.0.3. When I select iPhoto in the Photos preferences of my iPod, none of my albums show up and when I try to update it, I get a message: "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    It's not a serious problem because I can still get my photos on there by selecting my iPhoto library folder as a source, but I would like to have access to my photo albums from the iPod.

    Anyone? Please??

  • IPad saying not enough memory when syncing photos from iPhoto

    I have been trying to sync my iPad for the past two weeks.  It is an iPad with Retina Display, 3rd Gen, 64gb.  I finally gave up and just downloaded all of my apps and songs from icloud, but I want to be able to sync it to my computer.  It keeps telling me that the iPad does not contain enought memory.  I do not know how this is seeing as how it says that I have over 40 gb free.  Today I was able to get it to sync, and then I realized I did not have my photos from iPhoto checked.  I checked it to sync photos from iPhoto and only selected one album with 223 pictures in it.  When I did that, it gave me the message that I could not sync it because I did not have enough memory.  How could I not have enough memory when it says that I have 40gb of space free and I am only trying to sync 223 photos?  Please help.  I will try to update this post if anything improves.
    I have already restored the iPad once, and that clearly did not do anything.  haha.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • Impossible to sync photos with iPhoto

    It is no longer possible to sync photos using iPhoto. With Aperture everything works well.
    iPhone 3GS with iOS4 not JB, iTunes 9.2, MAC OSX 10.6.4

    I found the problem. This is a new bug introduced in 8.1 of iPhoto.
    According to iPhotoManager:
    Another recently introduced problem, which appears to only happen with iPhoto 8.1, has to do with music that you've assigned to a custom slideshow. If you have created a slideshow in iPhoto, and using the "Settings" button, have assigned a song from your iTunes library to be played with that slideshow, then if that song has an ampersand (&) character anywhere in the path to the music file (this can include the name of the artist, the album, or the song itself), iPhoto does not write it out correctly to the XML file and you get an error. If you do have a music file assigned to a slideshow, you will either need to assign a different song, or remove any ampersands in the path to the song and re-select the same song in iPhoto to update it to the new location. (make sure to click "Apply" in the settings window to make your change "stick").
    This was my problem. I had a song from Simon & Garfunkel in a slideshow and the Path to the song had the & that was malformed.
    I removed the slideshow and I am now working.
    Apple please fix this bug. I wasted over 5 hours until I went and purchased iPhoto Library Manager and it immediately pointed out the problem.

  • ITunes not syncing photos from iPhoto

    "Unkown error" messages are becoming usual for iPod users that we are ignoring them because our iPods are syncing fine anyway. Except for error message -208, the new kid on the block! This error message only pops when trying to sync photos from iPhoto (6.0.5 the latest! Syncing photos from any other folder or not syncing photos at all, does not cause any problem. The syncing never has given me this problem (and I have been syncing iPods with pics for a long time!)
    How does Apple answer to this problem? Don't blame the iTunes software, because this is definitively a joint problem you guys have with your software not talking to one another.
    I have rebuilt everything that can be rebuilt in iPhoto (thumbnails, library), I have downloaded and installed all the latest updates. Reset and restored the iPod... done! Reinstall iTunes, check!
    I have posted messages at the iTunes/iPod forum and... no response! Hope the Apple staff is more friendly here... or at least one of the seasoned users...

    You may have figured it out by now. None of the resetting of the iPod or the rebuilding of the iPhoto library (command+option) or permission rebuilding works to solve a -208 error when the error refers to an iPhoto library sync with iTunes. Supposedly, this error occurs with corrupt AIFF files as well. This error will occur on different iPods which try to sync to the same iPhoto library. The iPhoto library is definitely corrupted. Mine was due to a sudden power loss.
    NOTE: I do not "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" under Advanced iPhoto preferences, so that my photos don't have a chance of getting messed up (like error -208s). If you do, the steps below may be different for you. Always a good idea to back up your photos.
    Here is how I fixed it. All the steps may not be necessary. Go to /pictures directory under your user (or wherever your iPhoto library is located), and rename the "iPhoto Library" or whatever you called it to something else, like "iPhoto Library 2". Open iPhoto, and it can't find the library, and asks if you want to find it or create a new one. Tell it to create a new one, and put at least a picture in the library. Sync with iPod, which should work without error and put the picture on your iPod. Close iTunes. Close iPhoto. Now, to save all your pictures (thumbnails) already in the iPhoto library, copy everything BUT "iPod Photo Cache" folder, which seems to be the culprit, from the "iPhoto Library 2" folder into the "iPhoto Library" folder. Open iPhoto, and all your pictures should now be in the library. Open iTunes and sync iPod, and all your pictures should sync out without error.

  • Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

    Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
    When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
    Thank you!!!

    I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
    To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
    Change it so no photos are synced.
    Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
    Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

  • Unable to sync photos from iPhoto

    Got an 8GB iPod Touch yesterday. I can sync everything except my photos from iPhoto. When I go to the Photo tab in iTunes, I place a tick in the check-box that says "Sync photos from:" and then I select iPhoto from the Combo-box. There are 2 radio buttons but only "All photos and albums" is available... "Selected Albums" is greyed out. The box below the radio buttons is also grey and has no entries.
    If I try to sync "All photos and albums" I get an error message on my computer that reads: "The iPod [iPod name] cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    Software updates have all been applied, I have restored my iPod, have verified and fixed file permissions, etc. I have rebuilt the iPhoto library (Command-Option). Both iTunes and iPhoto have been working fine, with no other problems. I am using iLife '08 so I am using iPhoto '08 (version 7.1 (347)).
    Has anyone any experience with the problem? I'm thinking that my next step is to reinstall iPhoto/iTunes but I would much rather not have to do that... any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Bill
    P.S. I can sync photos from my desktop, just not from iPhoto '08.
    P.P.S. My 5th gen video iPod can sync photos from my iPhoto library!

    Hi Damon,
    Thanks for the update and the suggestion of trying a new user account... I don't know why that didn't occur to me. Well, you will not be too surprised to hear that with a new user account the photos synced no problem.
    That leaves me with an iPhoto library rebuild on my hands. The Apple provided rebuild didn't resolve my issue when I tried it last week. So I will need to do a manual rebuild... something which I have done once before but vowed never to do again as I lost hundreds of hours of work organising and tagging my photos... something which I have invested considerable time in recovering and don't want to lose them again.
    With Leopard around the corner, I will be performing a clean install of the new OS on a fresh HDD within the month, so I am going to recreate my iPhoto library that way... rather than invest time now only to see it wasted later.
    Thanks once again for the pointers to those Apple docs... most useful.
    Kind regards,
    William

  • How do i stop my macbook pro from syncing photos from iPhoto overtime my iPhone is connected?

    It just loads them it doesn't download them. So quit iPhoto.

  • Since the most recent iPhoto upgrade, I can't sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone or iPad. This is so frustrating! whereas previously all I had to do was put 'sync' as a keyword,

    Why can I no longer export photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad? Previously, when I used 'sync' as a keyword for a photo, it automatically exported to the other devices when they were synced with computer. This no longer happens so I don't know how to get photos from the computer onto my iPhone & iPad. Can anyone help as it's most annoying. So often updating software has really negative side-effects such as this.

  • Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

    I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
    Any thoughts welcome.
    Duff
    ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

    Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

  • Syncing photos from iphoto on imac to iphone 4

    I have a new iphone 4 32GB. A lot of my photos in iphoto are in RAW format. The size is 3.9 GB. Can I sync these with my iphone or is it better to change them to jpeg images first (which would be a lot of work). Do I have 32GB of space in this iphone. I am not good at this stuff. Also can i sync the photos into my iphone and delete the ones I don't want from my iphone or when I sync again will they all come back again. Am I making sense? I love the technology but do not understand how all this magic happens. Thanks anyone.

    I could very well be wrong, but I do not think the iPhone recognizes RAW. I believe you will need to convert to jpg / png or another recognized format. Use a program that will bulk convert images from RAW to JPG. On a PC I use ACDsee, not sure what is available for a Mac.
