Duplicate iPhoto events in iPhone/iPad sync

I'm getting duplicate iPhoto events showing up when I try to sync my iPhone and/or iPad. These events are not in duplicate in iPhoto itself. I have tried repairing the iPhoto database and it's file permissions. I have no idea why iTunes reads these events like so (see included screen shot). Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

I had the same exact problem syncing my iPad2 after the update..

I tried to exit iPhoto and iTunes and somehow the issue disappeared. But now it happened again.

It looks like it separates the pictures if the come from different supports (e.g. My Nikon or My iPhone).

iPhoto itself seems to work properly as the events look ok.

I got the same thing.


It looks like it's something to do with Autosplit for events setting in Preferences.


I think it's gone through photos and split them into events of the same name but a separate one for each day, hence it looks like duplicates but you'll probably find the photos are different in each "event".


I'm going to rebuild my library, then put events "back together" - hopefully that fixes it, but not sure about going forward. Will it happen again?
