Syncing photos with apple tv

I have all of my photos stored on an external hard drive and cannot get atv to sync them. This used to work but since upgrading to leopard I can no longer sync the photos on the external hard drive. The sync symbol is rolling in itunes and I get no error message or symbol, but the photos are not on atv. Has anyone had trouble syncing photos stored on an external hard drive?

I have tried turning off all firewalls with no luck. Then I tried setting all firewalls to specifically allow I-Tunes, still no luck. My photos are stored in separate files on the external hard drive but I am not sure how to check permission on the external hard drive. And I am not sure about creating a second library. How would I do this?

Problem syncing photos with Apple TV and iPod

Ever since I connected my Apple TV I have had problems syncing photos with both my iPod and my Apple TV.
The Apple TV gives me an error (no desciption) when I try to sync photos. The iPod gives me an error 39.
iPhotos is working fine. I rebuilt the library using the rebuild library feature and this has not fixed the problem.
I also rebuilt my iTunes library without success in fixing the problem.
How does it sync? Is there some kind of syncing file I need to delete that may be corrupt?
Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try?

Just a suggestion,
for a speedier and better informed reply, post your question in the AppleTV forums.

Aperture 3.03 sync issue with Apple TV

Hi to all,
I would like to ask you for a help in the following issue:
When I sync Aperture with Apple TV I then see that only masters were transferred. When I make some photo adjustments (without creating a version from master) they are not visible on the Apple tv. I can only see a master photo without any adjustments.
How can I transfer a photo with adjustments made on it? Do I have to create a Version from master and then sync only that version with all adjustment made on it?

Related question from me.
I've got my Aperture library on an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme. Now version 3.0.3 of Aperture opens beautifully and reads my library, but when I try to sync my photos with my Apple TV then iTunes doesn't recognise any photos in my library, although it does recognise the projects and albums . :-s
Any ideas? Looking like a bug to me at the moment...

Syncing photos with correct orientation

I know this has been mentioned in a few threads, but there hasn't been a satisfactory answer so far.
Just to summarise - when you sync photos with your iPhone, the EXIF rotation/orientation information is lost and photos are always displayed in the 4:3 orientation, and never 3:4 if required.
As near as I can tell, Apple just haven't bothered coding the orientation information (or creating a 3:4 thumbnail, I'm not sure how the ithmb format works exactly) when it is creating the photo database for syncing with the iPhone. Yet it works fine with iPhoto...
I've trawled through the Apple support pages and can't find any mention of this or how to get Apple to address such a serious problem. It's very frustrating syncing my photos to my PC, only to have them lose their orientation when syncing them back to the iPhone.

Probably the best that you can do is submit this to Apple's iPhone feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If this is bothering enough people, maybe they'll make that change in future revisions.

IPhone 4s will NOT sync photos with iPad. I have tried everything. Cloud is set up correctly.

Syncing Photos with reduced size

Initially when I sync photos between my computer and iTouch, there is an option of whether to keep the original size of those photos. After I switched to a different folder to sync photos with iTouch, I do not have that option from iTune. can someone help? How I can make that switch?
Thanks,

This isn't a direct answer, since I'm not running Photoshop Elements on a PC, but what you describe works perfectly with geotagged photos coming from iPhoto on my Mac. Photos taken in Texas and parts of Europe west of Greenwich show up fine; photos taken in Tunisia do also. I wonder if there's something funky about the EXIF information for the photos that don't show up? For whatever it's worth, here's the data from one of my Tunisia photos that DOES show up in Places on my iPad:
-- GPS IFD -- :
GPS tag version : 0,0,2,2
North or South Latitude : N
Latitude : 35°40'55.67"
East or West Longitude : E
Longitude : 10°6'11.74"
Altitude reference : Sea level
Altitude : 60.2m
GPS time (atomic clock) : 7:10:10

HT2311 I cannot update my current iTunes 10.6.3 to 11.1 as required to sync photos with my iPad. I am trying to download 11.1 on my MacBook which has O

Can anyone advise how to dowload iTunes 11.1 onto a MacBook which already has 10.6.3? I get the message that 10.6.3 is the latest version when I try updating directly through the iTunes icon/app. When I go online and find and download 11.1 it does not come on my laptop. I need 11.1 to sync photos with my iPad.

Click here, buy the DVD, back up your data, install it, and run Software Update twice.

I am having trouble syncing photos with lightroom mobile. Lightroom (on computer) tells me that it's syncing but nothing appears on my I pad. Any comments?

however when I try to sync my older ipod with it and upload some new music to it, Itunes keeps telling me that all the previous songs will be erased
Yes, that's correct. If you don't have the songs that are currently on your iPod also in your new iTunes installation, they will be erased from the iPod if you sync it. Best to start afresh by first transferring all the music on your iPod back to your new computer/iTunes library.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
Once all the music is safely back in your new iTunes library, you can sync your iPod as normal.

How to sync photo with flickr ?

I used to sync my photos between iphoto and flickr, and I can't find a way to sync from "photos" with flickr.
Any solutions ?
Thanks,
David

Sounds like in order to get those on the computer you might need to use an APP or 3rd party software to get them to the computer.
if you sync photos with itunes it will take them off and delete them because the photos are not on that computer anymore

Has anyone tried to sync photos with the cable to itunes rather than how it should work via Wifi with iCloud? The info on the Apple support page says that you should backup to both iTunes & iCloud, but 2x the Genius Bar told me not to. Help please!

Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud? On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both. What experiences has the community had? I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates. (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1) Thanks much!

It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Problems syncing photos with two user accounts on one Macbook pro in iPhoto

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've have a Macbook Pro with two user accounts, my wife and myself. My wife and I both have our own iPhones. We log onto our own accounts and sync perfectly with itunes - so far so good.
The only issue is we have a shared iphoto 'database'. When each of us go into iPhoto we're looking at the same photo library (i.e we can both see the same photos, events, etc), although we make sure we don't both go in at the same time as I've heard this can cause issues.
In iTunes if I sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone it works fine. If I then log out and my wife logs in and tries the same she gets a permissions error. We've worked round this by deleting the photo cache folder, however if this is done on my wifes account, for example and then she logs out, when I log in I get the same permissions error until I delete the photo cache myself - and round and round we go.
Is there a way that we can setup iPhoto and/or iTunes so we can both sync with iPhoto to our own iPhomes? If its means me 'owning' the iPhoto database and my wife having some sort of read access/view only access, that would be fine.
We're using the latest version of iTunes (9.2.1) and the iPhone OS (4.0.2) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4)

Yes I moved the iphoto library to a mounted volume, as suggested in the apple support pages, and it works fine now.
I also made sure the volume was mounted at log on automatically. The only downside is that I have to make sure may wife doesn't log on and use iphoto whilst I am logged on.

Error -50 syncing photos with Aperture

I cannot get my iPhone to complete a sync. It stops before syncing the photos with Aperture, displaying a -50 error.
Does anyone have any ideas, or suggestions, how to overcome this problem?

Syncing photos with my computer

When I sync photos from my computer to my phone it copies all the folders and their photos and it also creates a separate "photo library" with duplicates of all the photos. How can I stop this from happening?

Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos
Once you have activated the iPhone with a sim inserted
when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos?
Yes unless you transfer Photos off iOPS device to your PC/Mac
