iPhoto 9.1.2 splitting events in iOS

Somebody recommends reverting to iPhoto 9.1.1. Just remember: updates are often backward compatible, but rarely forward compatible. Hence, if you install the 9.1.2 update and work with it for sometime, you might make changes to the iPhoto Library that are not compatible with iPhoto 9.1.1. Downgrading iPhoto to version 9.1.1 might then confront that version with an iPhoto Library that it does not understand entirely.

SHAME ON APPLE is the perfect sentence to describe this BIG BUG

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give an update.

Got a call back from the Apple Rep who I called late last week. He said engineers have been able to reproduce the issue, and are working on a fix.

Hopefully a fix will be available shortly

=)

awesome, thanks for the update Neel. One think I do love about Apple, when there is an issue they resolve it as needed, they don't wait until the next 'available' all encompassing update. Hopefully that will be soon.

Same Problem... Spent like whole working day trying to fix and tweak.. all ended up to a deadend.. Apple FIX plz!

Okay, It seems this has been a problem for many users, and it seems apple is not going to fix it soon.

I found a temporary solution to get all my photos I want synced on my iPad/iPhone by doing the following smart album. (see screenshot)

I have about ten events with Julia included in the event name, and I just placed a "keyword" on all of the events I want synced. It takes about 5 minutes to set up. I guess this is my workaround for the meantime.

Hi Guys,

I use iPhoto Library Manager to manage several iPhoto libraries I have and thought there was a problem with iPLM and reported the issue to them and they advised that there is an XML file in each iPhoto library which all other problems like iPLM and iTunes etc use to see what events there are and so it turns out the issue was with iPhoto 9.1.2 as reported here but seems directly related to the AlbumData.xml file. Just thought I'd share that.

All of this looks DUST to the eyes of us as Apple customers from Apple side. This is ridiculous. Nobody understand this.

I've got the same issue since downloading 4.3.3 in my iPad or at least it's when I noticed it !

I also have the same problem.

and I tried to delete the 'iPod Photo Cache' and the result is still a mess.

Apple please fix this flaw.

thank you

Hi Guys,

I may have found an easier temporary solution until Apple comes out with a fix.

If you see your events in iTunes duplicating. Go to your iPhoto, click on View>Sort Photos>Reset Manual Sort then View>Sort Photos> (then check your preferred sorting).

I have been trying this out for two days already and it seems to be working.

Here's my workflow: I open my iPhoto, then open iTunes, sync my photos from the iPhone camera roll to iPhoto, then do the workaround.

Works for me for the moment. (fingers crossed)

Amazing jpatrickn, that worked - for about 5 minutes!

Oh well!

Hmmm... That's weird, I am on my third day with this workaround and it is still working for me. Sorry it does not work for you man.

Aha! The problem appears solved for me. I'm now running iOS4.3.3.

In iPhoto I went to View>Sort Events>Manually.

I then moved a couple of events about to change the event order.

I then went back to View>Sort Events>By Date.

This put the events back as I wanted them in iPhoto.

I then closed iPhoto and synced my iPhone in iTunes.

Hey Presto!

The incorrectly split photo events on my iPhone had merged correctly to give just the one event as they appear in iPhoto. Hope this helps...and that it lasts!

Aside from the my Events being split up iTunes, I've noticed that there are people missing from Faces as well (including me!). I'm not sure if this is another bug too, but I've checked iPhoto and everyone shows up in there. Hopefully this will get fixed too.
