Syncing selected photos to iPod?

Hi
Have just bought an 80GB iPod Classic and my 17 GB music collection is on there no problem.
While there's room for my 27 GB iPhoto collection I simply don't want them all on there.
How do I get selected photos on there? Can I, for example, set it to sync only the photos with 3 or 4 stars?
Thanks

In iPhoto you can create photo albums or smart albums. Once you did that, you can ask iTunes to sync only those albums instead of the entire photo library.

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

Can't Sync selected photos

When I connect my iPod to my Mac, and try to sync Photos, it only allows me to sync my whole iPhoto library, the buttons for selected folders are greyed out. I can't click on selected folders and drag to the iPod either. Help?

This is not the most common type of fix but I accidentally stumbled across it.
I connected the iPad directly to a usb port on the computer and then restarted the computer (without disconnecting the iPad). When I opened up iTunes, the device was recognized and the sync photos from iPhoto options were both available. I was able to sync selected albums and it worked. Hope it works for you.

Syncing iPhoto08 photos to iPod

Since updating to iPhoto08, I cannot sync my photos to my iPod. I can sync photos from my "Pictures" folder and Aperture library. But when I choose the iPhoto option in the iTunes sync window I get error(-50) after syncing. Does anyone have a solution for this?

With both itunes and iPhoto not running I deleted the "itunes Music Library.xml" and "album data.xml". I restarted my system, then opened iPhoto. Then opened iTunes. the problem was solved.

I am trying to sync my photos to ipod touch but it keeps saying it can't sync as the required file cannot be found.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. For its location see:

Can't select sync selected photo albums

In the Apple TV photo tab of iTunes I cannot get the "sync selected albums etc button" to be highlighted(ungreyed). I've been doing this successfully for 2 years and now I cannot.

what sort of itunes/appletv connection have to configured ?
you can only sync photos when connected as a primary connection (with sync options for video/music etc).
if you are connected via a shared connection (ie can only stream music/video) then you can only stream photos.

Not syncing edited photos to ipod, only the originals !!!!!!????

Photos edited in iPhoto, like sepia effect or any kind of parameters to improve the original photo are not sync to ipod with color display.
The photos shown in ipod are the original, not the actual.
In apple tv all the photos shown are the actual, i.e., are the edited photos.
Can anyone tell me how to sync the actual photos to ipod ????
thank you

Can you test with your own iPod to see what I'm talking about ?
Use one photo edited in iPhoto and then try to sync to your iPod.
My own edited photos only sync to Apple TV. My iPod have only the originals not the actual photos(edited or not).
I don't know if the problem is with ipod. It's a old one (iPod with color display).
I already restore iPod and synced again all photos, but the problem persists.
It was formated for windows for disk use. Now I formated for Mac to see what happens, but the problem is the same.

Saved Photos Sync - How to Sync the photos from iPod touch to Mac

How can one syncrhonize the "Saved Photos" on an iPod touch (or iPhone, for that matter) to Mac OS X?
Certainly using iTunes the specified photos on Mac OS X are saved to the iPod touch, but I don't see how to get the "photos" (snapshots of the iPod touch screen) to be copied/sync'd to Mac OS X, e.g. so that I can use these "photos" in a blog post, etc.

on a PC you would go to My Computer and the iPod would show up as an external disk for you to copy the photos from.
on a Mac i'm not sure of the exact procedure but i'd imagine it's something similar.

HT4236 Trouble syncing selected photos from iMac to iPhone 4s.

In iTunes I can get to the screen " Sync photos from iLibrary". The button is hit for "all photos, albums, events and faces". Unable to click on "Selected albums, events and faces". Prefer not to download my entire iLibrary. Any thoughts out there?

I had this problem too. The problem was in songs, that were on playlist, but not in library itself. This had happened by importing playlist from files sometimes in the past (I didnt know, they will not appear in Music, but only in playlist itself). The solution is to select all songs in the playlist (in iTunes) and drag it to the library (Music). Songs will resync again and will be present on iPhone on next sync. Hope this will help with your problem too.
Cheers

Problems syncing selected photos

Can someone please please please help me....????
I'm trying to sync photos to the ipad but am having a real problem, for some reason the 'selected folders' tab doesn't highlight and I can only select the 'all folders' tab and then when I try and select a folder it only allows me to pick one folder, I hope that this makes sense...???
Oh and can you please make your answer quite simple as I am a newbie and a total technaphobe ....!!!

You can only select one folder as your sync folder. If you have multiple folders, you can make subfolders, but only one level of those. Below is a detailed procedure for doing this on a Windows machine;
For windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
Hope this helps...

Syncing photos to iPod makes my iTunes crash

I just bought my 4G Nano(Third-Generation) a week ago. It works fine at music.
But everytime i try to sync my photos to iPod my iTunes crash.
I put all my photos into one directory (5MB, 110pics, all low res picture), then start sync them in iTunes.
When the process bar comes to one certain place it stopped, then few minutes later iTunes crash.
Then the tray shows windows message like "coudn't write I:/"(I'm using a chinse version of XP), sometimes iTunes shows could't transfer too.
But there's still 32 photos tranfered, and available to watch them on iPod.
I tried sync some other photos again later, this time the as soon as I started to sync photos, iTunes crashed, then the "coudn't write I:/" message.
I tried again with 5 some other photos, it transfered 2 only, and the same thing comes up, iTunes crashed, the "coudn't write I:/" message.
So, anybody cam help with a solution? It will be perfect to watch photos on my iPod :\

Well, after my fifth try, it worked out.
I just randomly pick out 48 pisc that i liked from my 110 pics. (which are all batting pictures of Albert Pujols. Then it just worked)
No carsh, and less than 1 minutes. (2MB only)
But I won't call this answered, maybe this'll happen a lot in future, I just get lucky this time.
I've search the forum and knowing that VITSA has the problem with syncing photos crashs system, but I'm using XP, not many syncing photo problem in XP beeing seen after my search.
So i'm still very curious what cause this, anyone knows?
And anyone has the same issue i get, please reply.

Transfering photos from ipod to computer?

Hello!
i used to sync my photos in ipod with my computer. But my computer crashed and i had to change a new computer.
Then, i realised that i can't transfer the photos that are already in my ipod to my new computer. The photos in ipod are in a file format that can't be opened (photo database).
Does that mean that my photos are stuck in the ipod forever? i can't view them with the computer and i can't sync photos with the new computer as i was warned that the old photos in my ipod will be deleted.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for replying my question!
i saw in a post about "crashed computer" and found out that someone downloaded an application from http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplaypb/ and managed to transfer photos from ipod to computer. i downloaded it, but i still do not know how to do it.. sigh

Really need help here!-Why won't all selected Photos sync to my iPod Touch?

This is really a concern to me: I can only get about 9 months of my iPhotos to sync onto my iPod Touch - but with OS 2.x I could get all the photos-- used essentially all my free space.
I just upgraded my first generation iPod Touch (Dec 2007) to 3.1.2 - OK WiFi and apps updates working fine- but as to syncing photos: I have 15,688 photos & videos from my cameras in my iPhoto library.
I don't expect to have all the photos synced, but when I check last 12 months, only about 9 months is synced - 5899 photos and there is 4.9 gb of free space on my iPod Touch. With OS 2.x I could get more photos and it would go down to just a few mb of free space if I wished.
What is going on here? Why so much free space and yet no more photos syncing? I tried to click ALL EVENTS and that simply erased all my 5899 photos and there were NO PHOTOS. So now I went back and requested last 12 months of events (about 138 separate events from end 2008 until present) - and again, exactly 5899 photos yet still some 33% of my iPod capacity is UNused?
This is really a concern to me-- if a corrupted photo or event, then why did it work just last week when I was in iPod Touch OS 2.x?
Thanks for any suggestions here. I'm trying manual syncs and other stuff - so far no luck.
Best regards,

First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).
BUT BUT-- problem not solved... Although I trashed that file and then re-synced my iPod Touch, it is still only going back to July 2009 with the events - not 12 months as I request; and none of the events that I checked prior to the previous 12 months are not on my iPod Touch, first generation running system 3.1.3 (7E18). I STILL HAVE 3.0 gb of available space on my iPod. Again, I never had this problem when 2.x was the OS for my iPod Touch.
The number of events seems to be exactly 51 - is that perhaps a limit? I don't think it would be but when I look inside the iPod Photo cache folder, there are 51 folders (plus 2 other items) and the folders are numbered from F00 to F50.
I would like to get to the bottom of this - not sure if I should start a new post or ??? Thanks again and any ideas or tests to run really appreciated!
Best regards,
