Sync with iPhoto 11: Events in iTunes not same as in iPhoto 11

I am having the same problem. I have tried reinstalling iTunes but all the iPhoto events are still split and out of order in iTunes.

I am having the EXACT same problem as Richard Liu with iPhoto when syncing to my iPod touch and iPad.

Example:

On my computer one EVENT is titled BABY KITTEN - a 12 month time period with multiple dates. After sync is completed the BABY KITTEN Event is split to about 20 albums (20 different dates) on iPod Touch and iPad. Multiply that times several of my EVENTS with the same structure and it's a garbled mess.

Apple, PLEASE PLEASE give me back my old method!!

Same here, but I only had the problem beginning today. I lost my air play and in the curse of trying to recover it with the help of apple care, i installed a operating system update to 4.3.3, reset my ipad to fatory settings and restored data from a backup to protect the operating system. Thats when one of my events, (i think only one I have 10,000 photos and haven't checked every event) which had over 200 pictures from a recent vacation got split into about 50 events some of which have only one photo. It is still one event in iPhoto. I also rebuilt the data base and permissions in iPhoto then re-synced and it is still the same, this one event is split into 50 . In iPhoto it is still one! Before the upgrade to 4.3.3 software on the iPad2 the events in iPhoto and on iPad2 were the same! I suspect the upgraded operating software 4.3.3!

Same problem, here; however, I feel like I noticed the problem the day before installing 4.3.3 - I'm going with that it's a bug in the latest update to iPhoto.

I was about to go through rebuilding the library, etc - so I'm glad (in some ways) to see that doing those things does not fix the problem. You all just saved me some valuable time. Thanks!

I have been experiencing the same issues as everybody else in this thread. I have found a small work around. Its not perfect and doesn't fix the problem permanently but it works long enough for me to sync my iOS devices easily.

What I did was open both iPhoto and iTunes with my iOS device plugged in. I go to iPhoto and change Event-View to "By Title" and to "Ascending". Then I go back to iTunes and change the iOS tab from Photos to Apps (or any other tab) and back to Photos. After that all my events are in order and grouped together (not broken into a bunch of the same event). I can then sync them easily and without dup events. For some reason the work around doesn't last forever and I'm forced to repeat the steps when the events get broken up again. It's not perfect but until Apple releases a fix it will do.

Did not work for me!

I wonder why you think the problem is in iPhoto. The events are fine in iPhoto they only get screwed up when you sync them to an iPad. I think it is the iPad operating system 4.3.3. I was fine until OS 4.3.3 went into my iPad2!!

(However I don't know when the iPhoto 9.1.2 upgrade installed, I don't think it was at the same time as the ipad OS upgrade)) I know Apple has been working on removing location data mining from their mobile devices I wonder if this is at the root. Could the events be broken up by location but still be given the same name?

Thanks dzbez, it worked for me, but it feels as if we are the mythical monkeys that might randomly produce the bible.

On May the 5th, or there-abouts it seems Apple turned into General Motors and Microsoft and Microcenter all at once. I came back into the U.S. to find that my iCal doesn't work at me.com any more (blank calendar, an hour on the phone with suggestions to keep pushing the rock up the hill and hope it doesn't roll back on me, and an email from support offering another trip up the same hill), then I prepare for another trip two days from now by synching an important set of ~180 photos to my iPad 2 to find that 5 made it and the event is now a dozen events, and support is in implausible deniability.

And I could give a f... about Apple solving the "location-mining'" problem. This is taking a .1% problem and thrashing elegance. That's why using Microsoft products is like having a chastity belt slapped on me when I really just want satisfaction.

Hi there,

I'm not glad with this problem. Fine to now i'm note the only (sorry) its really absurt and scares me lott. I hope nothing will happen with the pics.

So Apple.....hello...we need help!

Hmmmmmm...must have upgraded iPhoto in same release with the new OS.

Where is Apple in all of this? They must hear the chorous wailing! There are several similar threads now running.

Has anyone tried taking iPhoto off time machine backup from a couple of weeks ago? I wonder if the damage is now in the info on the pictures or just in the iPhoto software? I have 11000 Photos on iPad2 and I am cringing at the thought.

I noticed also that there are stray photos in events that are not split up on the iPad2 ( that weren't in those events before all this happened.and am not sure if that is part of this same problem!

Did anyone get a concrete answer to this issue?.

Lucky me is just dealing with this in the last two days.

Everything is good iphoto, but any event/ faces is messed up when synced on my ipad or iphone.

Seemingly random picures are within every event.

I have rebuilt the library, the thumb nails - nothing has worked.

I suspect that installing Adobe Photoshop Element 10 has 'stolen' some photos from their original locations and now iTunes can't find them. but why only some?

thoughts?
