#Iphoto syncing upgrade
For now, I suppose all I can say is to wait and see if a library upgrade with an updated version of iPhoto works. I wish I could find out what exactly the upgrade process did to fix things so I could at least understand what the problem was and provide a much more useful answer. And my iPhone doesn't get wiped on every subsequent connect-and-sync either. it looks like the syncing problem I described has vanished completely. So I opened iTunes, connected my iPhone, and tried syncing the iPhoto library to it. So far, so good - the library opens and I can still see all my photos and metadata. Since a new version of iPhoto has been released coinciding with the release of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, I let it upgrade my library. Today, while preparing for an upgrade to my Mac, I decided to take a look at the problematic library again. You can also choose to sync only favorites, and whether to include videos. Choose between syncing all your photos and albums or only selected albums. Select the checkbox next to Sync photos to your device from, then select Photos or a folder on your Mac. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to do that either (yes, not in a whole year don't ask). Click the Photos tab below your device's information. I never found a way to fix my existing library, so I had planned to start from scratch by exporting all photos from my existing library, creating a new library, and importing and rebuilding everything by hand. Trust me to forget all about my own question until a year later (and then some). What can I do to make iTunes read and sync my iPhoto library properly again?Īh, geez. All are at their latest versions as of this writing. My computer runs OS X 10.8.2, and my iPhone runs iOS 6.0.1. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 and iPhoto 9.4.2. I don't have a large photo library so it's only an extra couple of minutes of waiting, but it's still something I shouldn't have to put up with every single time I connect and sync my device.

Do one of the following: When syncing photos. The photos then stay on my phone as usual, but once I connect and sync again, the same thing happens. Select Sync Photos to your device from checkbox, then choose Photos, Pictures, or a folder from the pop-up menu. Not only that, but whenever I sync for the first time after connecting, the photos will mysteriously disappear from my iPhone and I'm forced to resync them, even when I don't make any changes (not even outside the Photos pane). It reported all the right counts before I rebuilt my iPhoto library. Whenever I connect my iPhone and visit the Photos pane, it tells me that my iPhoto library contains 0 photos (and, since I sync selectively, it says the same next to every item I've checked). This restored missing/corrupted photos and fixed several other inconsistencies, so iPhoto is working properly again.īut now, iTunes is the one that's having problems. If you have more than one photo library on your Mac, be sure that the correct one is designated as the System Photo Library.I recently had a nasty problem with my iPhoto library that I corrected by rebuilding it. You can sync your device only with the System Photo Library. Use iCloud Photos so that Live Photos keep their effect, no matter what device you use. Live Photos keep their effect when you import them to Photos in OS X El Capitan and later, but they lose their effect if you sync them back to your device via your computer. When you use iCloud Photos, Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos keep their effects. You must import Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos through the Photos app or Image Capture in OS X Yosemite or later for their effect to be synced via the Finder. If syncing doesn't start automatically, click the Sync button.
