Aperture Albums in iTunes
I had an issue the other day where a couple of my Aperture photo albums weren’t appearing in the photos tab of iTunes, so I couldn’t sync them to my iPad. The fix turned out to be: select the errant photos in Aperture and then click on the menu item “Photos > Generate Thumbnails”. Some people recommend “Photos > Update Previews” as well, but it wasn’t required in my case.
Reset iPad Backup/Sync
Several times lately when I’ve tried to sync my iPad it’s failed to complete the backup stage, even after 10-12 hours. If you force-quit iTunes and try again iTunes will skip the backup with the error message:
“iTunes could not backup the iPad “Chris’s iPad” because a session could not be started with the iPad”
I did a little research to find a solution, here’s what works for me:
- Quit or Force-Quit iTunes
- Delete your old backup: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
- Delete all files from ~/Library/Lockdown and /var/db/lockdown
- Reboot Mac
- Reboot iPad (hold Home and Power buttons until Apple logo appears)
- Run iTunes
- Select Reset Warnings and Reset Cache in iTunes Preferences > Advanced
Hope this helps someone else.

Sony RS-350 Reader Pocket Edition
I'm loving the new Sony Reader, the PRS-350 Pocket Edition. It's smaller than my last reader, the PRS-505, but faster and with lots more memory. It also has a touch screen with excellent contrast.
