Why cannot iTunes sync movies from iPhoto taken with iPhone

I take little movies with iPhone. (5Mb)
iPhoto copies then to the Mac with the Photos.
Movie plays in iPhoto.
In iTunes I say Sync event and tick include videos on. The movies are not copied back to the iPhone.
Checked in iPhoto, event says 18 items (17 are photos one is the movie MOV04391.MPG)
In iTunes > Photos tab. the event only shows 17 items.
Thanks in anticipation...

Try launching iPhoto while holding Option, to create an alternate iPhoto library that you can test with. You can always switch back to the original iPhoto library launching iPhoto while holding Option again.
If it works in the new test library, you'll probably want to switch back to the main library and then rebuild it by holding down the Command and Option keys when launching iPhoto.
Also, when you email photos from the iPhone you should see an option to email as actual size, along with the compressed options.
WTH.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

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.

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.

Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

Video (.avi and .mov) from iPhoto 08 to iPhone

How do I get my videos from iPhoto '08 (.mov and .avi) to my iPhone?

Hello JASCHI,
iPhoto doesn't really have the means to get movies into an iTunes format. iMovie 8, on the other hand, does have this ability.
If you can open the movie file in iMovie, from the Share Menu, you can send an iPhone ready copy directly to iTunes. You can find more information on the iMovie support page:

Good luck,

No places when syncing photos from iphoto 09 to iphone

ok, i spent days tagging faces and places in every single photo i have in iphoto since upgrading to 09. now when i sync my iphone and fill it with photos, the photos doesn't have any "places" info in my iphone. in my iphone places only appear the pics taken with the iphone, not the ones imported from my iphoto 09 library.
any suggestions?
i have a 3G with iOS4.0.1 (latest)

Have you updated iPhoto? Current version is 8.1.2. If you haven't updated, that's your problem.

Remove geotags from photos taken with iPhone (2G)

Hi everyone,
I have some photos inside iPhoto that were taken with my 1st gen iPhone. For example there's one event with photos all taken within the range of a few meters, but the map shows me the pin at a not so nearby city and when zooming in it splits into 4 pins where only 1 of them is the correct event location. Another event is in the middle of Ireland, but I've never been there in my life. You get the idea...
Since this gets you lots of partially wrong places I'd like to simply remove all geographic information from these photos and give them a location manually later on.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
Thanks a lot!
Björn
PS: I tried creating new places, but that's not what I'm looking for.

OK, I've tried several tools which offer EXIF metadata editing, but none could remove the geotags. So I took another look at iPhoto and found the following workaround:
Export the photos from iPhoto and make sure that *'Include Location Data'* isn't checked. It's a bit strange, but when exporting to JPG (the originals are JPG, too) and selecting the highest quality setting the above mentioned option is greyed out. Seems like this simply outputs your images completely unchanged, because the geotags were still there. So I had to select
a) another file format like TIFF or
b) choose a lower JPG quality setting.
I went with b) since the images are only iPhone photos and there was not a single pixel difference in quality when I selected JPG and quality High instead of the maximum setting. After exporting I deleted the geotagged originals from iPhoto and re-imported my tag-less photos. Places no longer shows a place now.
Not ideal, but I can live with it for now. Maybe I'll appreciate the iPhone's geotagging ability once I have a 3G or newer model, but I don't want to use the 2G's only nearly accurate location data...
Hope this helps someone else looking for the same thing!

How do I upload / sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone in Photos folder

I shot a short clip from my digital camera and want to share it with family through Whatsapp on my iPhone 3GS.
I downloaded the movie (.AVI extension) to iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, saved a copy on the Desktop; and using Quicktime's export feature, was able to transfer a .m4v version of the video on the 'Videos' folder of iOS. However, since Whatsapp picks up content only from the 'Photos' app, I was looking for a mechanism through which the video (preferably .AVI format) can be transfered to the 'Photos' app.
Additionally, I created a separate album on iPhoto containing just this clip. Next I tried to sync this album to my iPhone with the 'include videos' checkbox ticked, but it does not copy the video to Photos on iPhone (tried doing the same with some photos and it is working just fine).
Request if someone can provide an easy solution for this.
Regards,
Prashrash.
P.S.: Since I am a newbie, apologize in advance for any forum rules that I might have broken. Happy to be corrected / informed on the same.
BTW, have done a basic search on the articles existing in the forums to try and find an answer before posting my question. Mostly have seen many nays on older / archived posts, and hence am posting afresh once again in the hope that with the newer versions of iPhoto / iTunes, something has hopefully changed that will make my task easy! <fingers crossed>

Hello prashrash
Because when you sync a video that you have converted, it will want to go in the Videos app. A way to get around that is to email the video to yourself if the video size is small enough to send through email. Once you have received it you should be able to save it to your Camera Roll and then be able to access like you normally would.
Save a photo or video you received in Mail.

Cannot export quicktime movie from iPhoto

latest imac (brand new)
iphoto slideshow...
when i try to export a slideshow as a quicktime movie...it renders the quicktime movie...then when it goes into the "saving" phase...it just keeps saving and never ends...
but it will let me save a high quality mp4 movie...
it seems to be something with the quicktime format
(i posted to the iphoto forum...no replies...it seems to relate the quicktime format...so thought maybe someone here could help)

I had the same problem and figured it out. I had a FLA from the office and took it home to work on. At the office I was exporting to a folder on the staging server and had my SWF and HTML Publish settings set up that way. At home I tried to export the same FLA to quicktime (along came the aforementioned error). I made a folder on my local drive, set my publish settings for my SWF and HTML to export there, published, and low and behold, I was able to export to Quicktime. Problem solved.

Trouble syncing photos from iPhoto '11 to iPhone 4.

I synced all photos to iPhoto '11 from my iPhone, deleted all photos off my iPhone 4, and now that I've organized my events in iPhoto '11, I am unable to put those same photos back onto my iPhone. Some photos will sync, but not all of them. It seems like all of the photos I manually deleted will not sync back onto the phone.
I get this message: "Some of your photos, including the photo 'IMG.JPG', were not copied to the iPhone because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone."
I've tried a restore on my iPhone. No luck.
I've also tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder with no resolution.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

Sorry,
I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks,
I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??
