Hey all, I'm trying to sync my iphoto albums to my iphone. However, itunes doesn't see any albums under iphoto. The 'sync albums' option is grayed out, and the only way I can sync photos is by selecting my entire photo directory. I would like to have my iphone have the photos under the correct albums. Can anyone help?

I had the same problem - I had to move my iPhoto library back to my Pictures folder on the internal drive - I am re-importing (not copying) the images from my external drive, and now iTunes sees the albums...

This is truly lazy programming from the iTunes side... iPhoto can figure out how to use an external drive, but iTunes is hard-coded to look in the "Pictures" folder.

What a crappy experience... I got mine working, and hope yours does too...

I have my pictures Library in the Shared folder and set up using ACLs so that both my wife and I can access the photos in iPhoto. iTunes can see the albums in this location but if I try to sync my iPhone using my wife's account (trying to troubleshoot my parent's two iPhone, two user account problem with photos), then iTunes won't see any pictures. If I launch iPhoto in her account, then iTunes figures it out, only now it can't see the photos from my account! Launching iPhoto from my user account switches it back again. Weird.

I am having the same problem as b-real. My iPhoto Library is in the standard location, inside the Pictures folder of the same user account from which I am attempting to sync with my iPhone. Not on an external drive, and not in the Shared folder. I tried trashing the iPhoto preferences, to no avail. I'm not sure what to do next -- move the iPhoto Library folder, then move it back?
