Hi,
Here seems to be an issue with the "new iPad" (aka iPad 3). It appears that iTunes now loads a much higher resolution photo on to the iPad 3. For example, I restored the iPad 3 from the iPad 2 backup. Wheres 10878 photos on the used about 8.3 GB the iPad 2 (and about 10 GB iPhone 4s) the same selections use about 21GB on the iPad 3. Similarly the "iPad Cache" inside the "iPhoto Library" has grown from around 8GB to 60.54GB (as of now).
There seems to be no way to specify that you only want lower resolution photos in iTunes any longer. (You used to be able to specify that it would not include "Full Resolution" photos).
This means that you have to exclude some albums to avoid filling the iPad 3 (even the 64GB version is close to being full). A solution to just use the same resolution as on the iPad 2 would be ideal. Likewise having a 60.54GB cache on a 256GB drive on a Mini is non-optimal - the "Masters" folder is about 131GB which is fine, but with a 60GB cache and the other stuff, the drive is nearly full now.
I'd be interested in hearing any solutions or suggestions!
Thanks!
