Q: import photos to iphoto from folder and sync with ipod
problem: itunes won't sync my photos onto my ipod from a new iphoto library
i take pictures on my ipod and import them to iphoto, photoshop elements organizer 12, and dropbox. i wanted a way to go through years of photos and delete the ones i didn't want without having to do that in four different places
1. i deleted the unwanted photos in the masters folder on my mac
2. imported that folder into a new library on iphoto using file>switch to library, created a new one, then file>import to library
3. about half of the photos had the wrong date- they all had the same one, i don't know why. so i adjusted the dates and split the events how they were supposed to be
4. imported them to elements organizer from iphoto and copied the masters folder to dropbox
everything else worked except syncing photos with my ipod:
when i plugged it in, under the ipod tab iphoto showed the pictures in the new library as already imported and the ones i had deleted in the masters folder as not imported yet.
i was going to delete the camera roll off of my ipod but first i checked to make sure i could put pictures back onto my ipod and thats where i found the problem.
i tested it by deleting one event of pictures off of my ipod and syncing it back on but it didn't show up on my ipod.
i've tried deleting the ipod photo cache and i don't think it created a new one, at least not in the new library
mac: Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013 OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iphoto: 9.6
ipod: 5th generation 8.1.2
