Q: Why are Events not properly synched from my Mac to iPod?
I have been doing some heavy-duty house-cleaning on my iPhoto Library on the Mac, being more selective about the photos we keep and adding information on Faces, etc to those we keep.
I ran Restore on the iPod and then synched with the Mac to get the up-to-date Library on the iPod.
I am disappointed to find that information has been incorrectly or incompletely transfered to the iPod:
- that a large number of pictures I have permanently deleted from the iPhoto Library are nonetheless appearing on the iPod ... and they are appearing as Events containing 1 photo each which make it quite tedious to scroll down to the real Event ... where are they coming from ??
- that the Key Photo selected for each Event on the Mac is not the thumbnail displayed for that Event on the iPod
- that Faces for the letters A and B have not carried over to the iPod (and just my luck my eldest daughter's name starts with "A")
- that the chronological sequence for Events on the Mac is not always necessarily what carries over to the iPod ... and the sequence within Events is also not faithful the original iPhoto Libary.
All rather disappointing, since my iPod touch is the device which I carry with me everywhere and use to show my iPhoto Library to friends and family.
iPod touch, iOS 6
