Faces out of order in iOS 8.1 photos app

Has anyone else encountered a problem where faces (which I tagged and organized in Aperture and iPhoto) are completely out of alphabetical order in the iPhone photos app?
I've tried unsyncing, resyncing, and deleting the 'iPod photo cache' from the iPhoto/Aperture library. To no avail. Another strange thing I've noticed: In iTunes I can no longer choose to sync my iPhone photos with Aperture OR iPhoto. Now Aperture is the only option and I can not see iPhoto in the drop-down menu.
I've talked to AppleCare and they don't have a clue yet, but are trying to figure it out. Anyone else having this issue?

There is no way to change this. iOS 8 does you give no control over the ordering of photos and Faces albums for synced albums. Syncing of photos from iPhoto and Aperture with iTunes is not well supported in the iOS 8 Photos.app. It will be replaced by iCloud Photo Library. If you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), iTunes Photo Sync is no longer possible at all.

  • Why are my Smart playlists out of order in iOS 5?

    Since upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPad and iPhone 4 (Verizon), many (not all) of my smart playlists made in iTunes are out of order in both my iPad and iPhone (meaning the songs within the lists are our of order not the lists themselves).  Somtimes the playlists vary even between my iPad and iPhone, not just with iTunes.
    I tried a couple of workarounds I found on the web:
    1) I've unchecked Live Updating on my affected Smart playlists, but it only seemed to work on some of them. 
    2) Resorting the Smart playlists in iTunes by a different order, like Album, Name, or Artists seemed to work for others.
    Still, some of the smart playlists on my iPad and iPhone have resisted even these solutions and stubornly will not sort to the order I have them in iTunes. 
    My iPad has now more smart playlists synced correctly than my iPhone, yet, i have the same sync settings for both of them.  I've been trying to find the rhyme or reason behind the mangled sort order but haven't a clue.  Anyone else experiencing such strange behavior with smart playlists since upgrading to iOS 5? Is this a bug or just some setting I am missing?

    Created a similar post about 1 month ago - with no response...its driving me crazy too! Would love a fix!

  • My Compass is out of order on iOS 8

    i have restore my iPhone but my problem is again here.
    (excuse my English, i'm French)
    Thank you for our response

    What are you trying to sync. The iPhone is designed to sync with a single computer and any attempt to sync to another one will result in the data on the phone being deleted.

  • IOS 8 faces are unsorted in photo app

    Since IOS8 all the faces in the photo app are unsorted. If ou have only a few faces it is no problem, but if you have several hundrets of faces, it is useless.
    Is there a switch to change this, which I didn't find?
    regard Harry

    Same here. Also, events are in apparently random order.
    (To be precise: On iOS 8.2, Photos app, choose the "Albums" view in the bottom bar. You'll have a list view then, containing, from the top: Camera Roll, Panoramas, Videos, Events, Faces, then albums. If you choose Events or Faces, you will see synced events or tagged faces, respectively, but in a totally messed up order, making it an O(N) rather than an O(log N) operation to find the event or face you're looking for. Very very annoying, making these features virtually useless.)

  • Camera roll pictures are out of order after upgrading to iOS 8.1

    It's nice that iOS 8.1 brings camera roll back. However, pictures are out of chronological order. I'm using iPhone 5s. I upgraded iOS from 8.0.2 to 8.1, and noticed this issue.

    That's weird cause my videos are all interspersed with everything else like they used to be, which unfortunately means it's inconsistently screwing up too.  My pics start with 2007 (first year i got an iphone) then run up to about 2014 vaguely in order, then back to 2013 where everything's all out of order, then down to 2012 again (also out of order), then 2011, 2010, 2009 etc like it's running backwards to 2007.  Then once it hits 2007 again, it jumps to this past july.
    SO aggravating!

  • IOS 8 Photos events out of order

    Is there a way to get the photo events sorted in the photos app ?
    When selecting a background photo the events are sorted correctly, also in other photo apps.
    It seems to be only with the photos app the events and faces are not sorted.

    Everyone please report this to Apple; you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Right now, there's no dropdown selection for iOS 8, but I selected "iOS 7.1.2" and wrote this in the comments after describing the issue: "I am using iOS 8, but there's not dropdown selection for iOS 8 on the following question, so I picked iOS 7.1.2.."  Also, for me, the Submit button wasn't there, but it is located to the right of where it says, "Please read Apple’s Unsolicited Idea Submission Policybefore you send us your feedback."
    Hopefully the more people that report this, the more quickly they will fix this.

  • Photos not synced correctly to iphone... Unorganized and out of order

    After syncing my Iphone 4s with my macbook pro, all of my "Event" photos are out of order. If I open a specific event there will be photos that do not belong there and have no relation to that event... Same with the "faces" feature... I will specifically look for all pictures with "Mary's" face and majority of the pictures are other people with "Mary" not even in those pictures...
    I have looked at my macbook and all of the photos seem to be correct on that and in the right locations... Not sure how to fix this problem or what to do :-/
    This is a feature that I use constantly and would appreciate if someone could help guide me to correcting it....

    Hi Tasha48323,
    If you are having issues with unusual or incorrect data after a recent sync with iTunes, you may want to turn off the sync options for Photos, click Apply (this should clear that data off the iPhone), then turn Photo syncing back on and Apply again (which should resync all the data back). You may find the Resolution section of the following article helpful (the article primarily concerns a slightly different issue, but the steps are the same):

  • Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

    I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
    They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
    The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
    I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

    This is highly annoying.
    I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
    On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
    I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
    In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
    Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
    I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
    I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
    Ugh....

  • IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

    Hi,
    When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
    To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
    Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?
    Rgds
    Gary

    This is such a cluster-f*ck.  I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto.  Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is.  This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
    Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority.  Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this. 
    What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto.  I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this.  Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword.  I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad. 
    Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

  • Gmail dates out of order

    I recented moved from an exchange server to Gmail utilizing IMAP. The problem is that my emails are not in date order on my iphone 5s 7.1 (problem still existed under 7.0.6), but they appear perfectly in Gmail via web, Outlook, and Apple Mail. I can't seem to figure out what order they are actually in. I have exposed the date fields in outlook like date create, modified, received, sent, etc, but even ordering on any of those doesn't explain the sort order on the iPhone.
    Thanks for any input!

  • Photos our of order on iOS 8

    hi all.
    Photos are out of order when synced with iTunes on various iOS devices.
    Any ideas if this can be fixed and how please?  All my photos are filed in a dedicated folder and they all start with the date in "year_month_day" format.  Example, "2013_04_25 - Royal Caribbean Cruise".  This way they appear in proper order on finder, as well as in iPhoto, but when they are synced with my iPhones and the iPad, they appear in a random order.  Does this have anything to do with the way i name my photo files?
    Thanks.

    Addition:
    In a moment of fury I dediced to once again remove all pictures from my iPad. The only thing on there right now is a shared photo stream. No library, no camera roll.
    So I once again deleted the iPod Photo Cache. Then I decided to try to sync only one Event, the same one I was examining above.
    The strange things start to happen even before the sync. iPhoto tells me the Event has 402 objects but when i chose it in iTunes, it says that only 393 pictures and videos will be synced.
    The communication seams to break down between iPhoto and iTunes, rather than iTunes and iPad.
    Does anyone know how to repair this apparent broken relationship between iPhoto and iTunes?
    Cheers,
    Marcus.

  • Printing is out of order

    I have a new 15 in. Macbook Pro. and an ancient hp deskjet 845c printer. On my windows computer I had no problems and on the new mac my printing is a little screwy. For example I just printed off about 5 different documents in .pdf form through preview. In each the order was backwards for me. If my document had 3 pages, I would expect the order to be 1st page - or title, 2nd, and 3rd, as was lined up in the document. Instead it prints 3, 2, 1, with the title page on the bottom. I'm sure this is an easy fix, maybe I setting to be tweaked somewhere but apparently I don't know enough about it, any ideas?

    That's a function of the printer driver.
    1 Select the Print dialog by typing command-P or by selecting 'Print' from the File menu.
    2 The Print dialog appears. If it is in 'collapsed' mode, select 'full' mode by clicking on the triangle to the right of the printer's name.
    3 If the Print dialog is in 'full' mode, look for a pull-down menu with the name of the application you're running; if you're in the Finder, look for 'Finder', if you're in Safari, look for 'Safari', etc.
    4 Pull down the menu and look for 'Paper Handling'. Select that. The Print dialog should change.
    5 Depending on which printer you use, there should be two or three new pull-down menus at the bottom of the Print dialog. Look for one which says 'Page Order' or similar; the exact wording will vary depending on which printer you are using. There should be two or three options. Select 'Reverse Order' or wording similar.
    6 Print. The pages should appear in the order you wish. If they don't, try one of the other options.
    Note that typically the printer driver will try to print pages so that when you pick up the printed document, page 1 is uppermost. Some printers print with the output coming out face up; they would usually print the last page first and the first page last, in the order 5-4-3-2-1. Some printers print with the output coming out face down; they normally print with the first page first and the last page last, in the order 1-2-3-4-5.
    Depending on the printer there may be other options, including printing out of order, printing just some pages, printing in booklet order, and printing upside down.
    Note that your printer is an older one, and printer drivers supplied from HP may be minimal; you may get better drivers from the HPIJS Project <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpij s%23Printers> or GutenPrint <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php>. Both 3rd-party sources support the DJ845.

  • Can photo prints be ordered in iOS 8?

    Now that iPhoto has been officially dumped by Apple, is there any way to order prints in iOS 8 without having to use 3rd-party software?  I was hoping this functionality would have been added to the new Photos app, but I can't seem to find it.  I'll use a 3rd-party app if I have to but figured I'd ask the collective knowledge out there first.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Will that stop it from completing my words? I know I can turn off the predictive suggestions, but that's not the issue. I can choose not to take its advice. What's bothering me is that it just completes my words while I'm typing. If disabling the suggestions of predictive text will fix that, then great, but I was told somewhere else that they are unrelated. As far as autocorrection, I usually don't mind that because it fixes my sloppy typing. There are times it annoys me, but the benefits outweigh the annoyances. I just want to type words, then it decide what to do with them, but not halfway through where it comes up with something totally different, if not two or three words. Thank you for helping!

    Makes it impossible to have a conversation as i have to scan over dozens of messages to try to find a new one that has all of a sudden appeared, i have tried searching for solutions and the only one i found was "Sync time and date" i have updated my time and date to make sure but they were never out of sync to begin with.
