Duplicate iPhoto events in iPhone/iPad sync

update: have spoken with 2 different apple representatives one with iphone support one with mac support and explained the issue. they both stated that as of now that seems to be the best way to correct the issue. the mac support representative is escalating the issue to his senior techs and development so hopefully there will be an update coming soon.

Thanks for the feedback - let's hope it gets sorted soon.

Confusion reigns...

Sorry about this because it's going to muddy things, but figured I would pass it along anyway.

Apple engineering just called and advised AGAINST reverting to a previous version of the App unless you also reverted the entire library at the same time or did a manual rebuild of the entire library after reversion.

They did say that they are well aware of the problem and are investigating a fix. No time frame was provided for when the fix would be forthcoming...believe me, I asked!

Wish I had better news....looks like I'll be sticking with the mess I have for the time being.

Well thanks to all of you ...at least I know I'm not all alone in that mess ! I noticed this issue after updating my iPad to 4.3.3 but I guess it was there before .

with version 4.3.3 has been fixed

How ? Where must I look for the fix ? It happened to me today ! As I said I only noticed it after downloading 4.3.3 but the problem seems to be in iTunes .

Still not fixed with 4.3.3. I have downloaded 4.3.3 on both my iphone and ipad and still the same problem. No fix yet does anybody have an update as to when this may get fixed?

@ed3vlin, rwross,

Typical of Apple, I'm tempted to say. Two Apple support reps tell ed3vlin that restoring 9.1.1 from Time Machine seems to be the best work around, while Apple Engineering warns against this, unless one rebuilds the iPhoto library!

After reading ed3vlin's "all clear" I restored 9.1.1 from Time Machine and synchronized my iPhone and iPad. After reading rwross' contribution I rebuilt the iPhoto library "just to be sure" (because everything seemed to be OK, as others who have restored 9.1.1 report), only to have the places assigned to my photos -- I can't say whether all or only the ones I randomly sampled -- disappear! A pin appears on the tiny map, but instead of a place name the prompt to specify a place appears. So now I'm restoring the version of the iPhoto library that was current as of iPhoto 9.1.1 and crossing my fingers. If everything goes well, I'll only have to redo a few things. And, if not, I guess I'll have to redo the 9.1.2 update and restore the version the the iPhoto library that was current before I restored 9.1.1.

This is really absurd.

Having the same issue here. Nothing to add really other than wanting Apple to make note of people having problems with this. Totally stinks! 😠

events in my iTunes as well as Posterino miraculously fixed itself. The only thing I did today was update my iPad to 4.3.3. Other than that, nothing else. I hope it stays that way.

Ok, I just jinxed it. It's now back to it's normal buggy self.

this bug is freaking annoying.

I found out after you play a little bit within iPhoto, like adding faces, playing with events

it does work for some time, until you import something in iPhoto.

Apple please fix it, I lost my complete fotos on my iPhone 😟

I'm just adding my name to this list.

I noticed a post in here stating that the engineers have been able to replicate the bug so will be working on a fix. In the mean time, I just won't be looking at pics very often 😉

Russ.

I'm doing the same.

Thought I fixed it by using the guide written earlier in this thread but it seams it only worked one time and now iTunes is all messed up..

Are anyone from apple observing these threads? Or are they oblivious to the fact that their very expensive products won't work properly?

I just talked to Apple here in Europe . After about 45 mn the guy I was talking to said he had just got a note talking about this issue .He hopes that an update will come fast ....so do I 😉
