Q: Can't see the albums or projects of Aperture while syncing idvices via iTunes

After upgading Aperture to 3.3, this problem appears.

Syncing photos from Aperture to iphones or ipads should be very easy: plug in the device, click the photo tab in iTunes, in "sync from" choose "Aperture", click "selected albums, faces......", then I should be able to see all the default projects and albums and those I created personally, then select any projects and albums I want, click "sync", it's done.

 

But, but.....after I upgraded Aperture to 3.3, I can't see any albums and projects even the default ones in itunes, there is only one project named "untitled" with pathetic 55 photos which I can't remember, because I imported photos in Aperture many times and every time there is a project "untitled", and I delete the untitled projects every time I classified the photos to other projects, which means there is no "untitled" projects when Aperture is not turned on.

 

I don't know where do the 55 photos come from, and I want to choose the albums I want to sync to my i devices.

 

Tell you what's worse, I called the Apple service number and I spent 30 minutes for no answers, only silly suggestions like "maybe it's nothing wrong with your apple devices, it might be the application, you should contact the application maker.". I've been switched from one engineer to another and repeated the same thing several times.

 

Please, is there anyone can help me with that.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

    Do you have the sharing of previews enabled in your Aperture Preferences (in the "Share Previews with iLife and iWorks" in the "Previews" tab)? Also did you generate previews for your newly imported images, either by using "Photos > Update Previews" or setting the preferences to automatically generate previews?

     

    If sharing is enabled, but you still do not see your albums in iTunes, you may need to do some trouble shooting - repairing the Aperture library or removing the Aperture preferences from your user library; see the Aperture 3 Trouble Shooting Basics on how to remove the preferences and to repair your Aperture Library.

     

    Sometimes it helps simply to switch between Aperture libraries to update the Aperture preferences file; if you only have one library, select "File > swicth to library > other/new" and create an empty library, then switch back to your main library.

    I've done all you've suggested, but no result, I tried the use iPhoto the use the same photo library of Aperture, wish to make it work, but new problems came out. When I changed "syncing from" to iphoto, the "sync from selected album" turned to be gray, can't choose them.
