Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone/iPad?

Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone and iPad? I have already tried deleting the iPod photo cache. I sync the entire iPhoto library, which includes about 8,000 photos. The Events and Albums never match up, with many missing photos in most albums and events.

Thats is how I did it originally and tried it that way again but it never brings in my library.  Now it gives me a response saying it doesn't have correct permissions. I'm the only user on the iMac. I did recently move the library from my old iMac iPhoto with no trouble.

  • Why won't my itunes library sync over to my new ipad?

    I've recently purchase an ipad and am trying to sync it to my macmini.  It's copied over the iphoto library, but won't copy the itunes library over.  I've spoken to Apple twice today, the first guy told me that if I updated to the latest version of itunes then the sync would work (I updated, but it still didn't work).  The second person suggested doing a hard reboot, exiting, restarting, etc and then retrying but that didn't help either.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Nico,
    When you hook up the device to your Mini, and click on it, you should see the Device Profile with several tabs. Click on the Music tab and make sure it is set up to Sync your music.

  • Why won't my iTunes library sync to my new iPhone 4s?

    I recently got a new iPhone 4s and I tried to sync my music from my iTunes library onto my music library on my 4s. But when my laptop said the sync was complete I checked my 4s and my music wasn't there. I then went to the iTunes store on my 4s and tried to download all of my songs from there but again, I checked my library and it was empty. My iTunes is updated to the newest version and my songs transfer onto my iPad right away with no problems so I don't see why there is a problem with my iPhone. I have tried manually putting the songs on my iPhone but that didn't work either. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know as this is a very annoying problem.

    Hello, lmd2015. 
    When receiving a sync session failed to start alert, I would recommend closing all open applications in multitasking, power cycling the device and restarting iTunes.  Attempt the sync again after processing these steps.

  • Why doesn't my itunes library sync songs I've purchased with an old Apple id?

    Hello all,
    I've recently bought a replacement laptop, running Windows 7 & had my music library transferred from my old P.C successfully.
    When I sync my ipod over 700 songs don't sync, but they're all available to play from the library.
    At a glance it would appear the majority of these songs I've purchased from the itunes store at some point.
    I'm advised that I will need to log in to the old itunes id to authorise this computer, but this is not possible as the email address has been deleted.
    I contacted the bank from which the account was used to purchase these songs & the only debit card details they had on file were not the correct card.
    So, where do I go from here? This is my music that I purchased legitimately from the itunes store & I want it all on my ipod which again, was legitimately purchased from Apple.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

    You should have just switched the email address on your apple id to your new one, instead of creating an entirely new apple id.
    But, go to appleid.apple.com and try to reset your password using the security questions method, instead.
    If can't reset it via the email or security question method, then you have to call Apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Why doesn't the iPod classic sync properly, and how do I fix it?

    Notes
    Before anyone mentions the lame suggestion of "Restoring", let me add that I have done that. Alot.
    I'm pretty good with computers, so please get as nerdy as you want, just as long as you're only trying to help me.
    This disscussion should only be about this particular problem, please refrain from posting you're problems to this (Make your own discussion).
    If necessary, contact me via email if you need more information, or have other misc. questions or inqueries.
    Basic Information
    Product: iPod classic

    Temp: Current - 31c
    Temp: Min - 3c
    Temp: Max - 67c
    Additional Details
    The iPod works fine after immediate restoration, however, after adding 500 or so songs it seems to quit responding and appears to terminate communications with computer while freezing iTunes. After fiddling around I usually grow tired and unplug it and iTunes quickly displays a message saying to restore the iPod, although it's unplugged... This happens everytime, so it's not a rare situation for me. I've tried repeatedly on two Windows computers and a brand new Mac.

    It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
    Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

    Why does the old iphoto library still remain after the upgrade? Takes up HUGE space on my laptop
    Actually, it only looks like it takes up additional space. The file size shown is misleading.  When you migrate an iPhoto library to Photos, both libraries will show the media files using hard links. The actual file content of the image files and videos is shared by hard links:
    See this linked document:   Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    You will gain no free storage at all by deleting either the iPhoto Library or the Photos library.  So keep both libraries until you are very sure, that Photos is working well  on your Mac and your iPhoto library has been migrated correctly. Also, check, if you like the workflow in Photos. It is very different from iPhoto and some iPhoto features are not supported.
    There will be no easy way back to iPhoto, if you delete your iPhoto library or the iPhoto application. Apple does not sell it any more.

  • Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?

    Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?

    You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

    My iPad Air gets an unknown error when I try to backup.   It does sync properly.  My iPhone backs up and syncs without isssue.  I am running latest itunes and iOS 8 versions.  Thank you.

    Try rebooting your computer and reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Why doesn't the camera kit I bought fit into my iPad dock?

    Why doesn't the camera kit I bought fit into my iPad dock?

    Maybe you purchased the wrong item.
    iPads that have the 25 pin connector use the original Camera Connection Kit. That kit has two parts and adapter to allow you to insert SD cards and a second adapter to connect a USB cord from your camera. Here's a link to that kit:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit?fno de=3a
    Newer iPads have the Lightning connector. You have two choices for those iPads. If you want to read SD card purchase a Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD822ZM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?f node=3a
    Or you can connect your iPad directly to your camera with a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

  • I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad.  Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

    I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad.  Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.
