Duplicate iPhoto events in iPhone/iPad sync

Tried it. Doens't work.

I tried the resort Events & reload iTunes and that seemed to work... my 'uncheck split events' failed this time too

Soon we'll need to touch our noses and say "no magpie" 3 times at 12 noon...

@Isixecho,

Brian Webster, the developer of iPhoto Library Manager, in describing the 3.6.6 update to his product, states clearly that the update does not solve the problem, but merely works around it. I have no doubt that, given the source code, he could determine the cause of the problem and fix it. But he, like other third-party developers, are left to their own devices when it comes to interfacing with iPhoto. "Neither the iPhoto database nor the AlbumData.xml file is officially documented anywhere," he writes. The latter seems to be iPhoto's way of backing up the database, in case it must be reconstructed. Brian believes that iPhoto is writing the split events to the XML file, which it itself never uses, since using the database is faster. External applications, on the other hand, will use the XML file, as it is easier to understand. A big change to the database might cause iPhoto to rewrite the XML file, whereas trivial changes might wait until iPhoto quits.

So fixing the problem might actually be more difficult than working around it.

Richard

I give up!!!

+1 on this issue, on an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2, which were behaving normally until recently. AndrewN7's advice doesn't work, nor does deleting the iPad Photo Cache.

I submitted feedback to Apple with the link to this thread.

@gginsb, xam05,

No need to give up. Restore from your Time Machine backup iPhoto 9.1.1 and the version of iPhoto Library that you were using at that time. This will revert iPhoto to the previous version, which didn't have the event-splitting problem, and by reverting the iPhoto Library, you ensure that iPhoto 9.1.1 is working with a compatible version of the library. Of course, you will have to redo any work you did with 9.1.2, and, depending on the size of your iPhoto Library, you may not be able to restore a previous version before you delete the current one (and empty the Trash) in order to make space for it.

Regards,

Richard

Have the same problem with, iphone3g, iphone4, ipad, just before read all this post I've started to repair my iPhoto library, now with no hope that will work :s

Hope they fixe this soon

Thanks for the tip!

I will take a look into it later.

I have discovered any edit to events content will create a separate folder. This also applies to RAW file adjustment. Synced Pad & Phone show original RAW not updated jpeg as shown in iPhoto. In my case underexposed.

How do we make apple sit up and take not of these discussions. Surely they have bods scouring these pages to stay on top of major slip ups like this.

Same Here : Double events in iTunes/on my iPhone. Seems to be if you merged events later or start to edit locations / parts of the events....

Apple please fix this!!!

Me too

I have the same problem with mi iPad and iPhone. Apple, please fix this.

I'm having the same issue here. Happened after the 10.2.2 iTunes update. Pretty annoying.

Please fix this, apple.

NO MATTER HW SIMPLE THIS SOUNDS, IT FIXED THE GLITCH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!

I confirmed 1 photo for a face in iphoto, quit iphoto, then synced my ipad 2 !
