How can I rearrange photos within album in iPhoto 9.5

I used to be able to do this in older iphoto applications. I have gone to View and checked manual and I still cannot arrange the photos within an albun manually.

In an album you simply drag the photos where you want them - that is one reason to use albums for organization rather than events

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

How can I move photos in Albums into Cameral Roll?

I reinstalled Lion OS X but I forgot to back up photos.
Is there any way to save them in iPhoto or in my Macbook?

You can't move photos in Albums that were transferred from your computer into the Camera Roll.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync processa are optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. Photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer and should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
There are some paid 3rd party utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos is lost.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How can you upload photos to FaceBook from iPhoto without using the sync where is deleted in iPhoto it will be deleted in FaceBook

How can you upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook without having the sync where if you delete from iPhoto you delete

I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.

How do I rearrange photos within a collection?

I have created a collection for a portfolio review in my desktop version of Lightroom 5. I have enabled sync with Lightroom Mobile, and all of the photos have synced to my iPad. The photos are in the order that I imported them from my hard drive originally, and they synced in that same order to my iPad. I want to rearrange the photos, however. How can I do that?

Normally you can drag photos around in a collection and they remain fixed in your chosen order. Not sure how LR mobile syncs, but why not give it a try with an existing collection or new collection.

Can't rearrange photos in album

Organise photos within Album in iPhoto on iPad

Yesterday I purchased the iPhoto app for my iPad, this is due to someone recommending it to me as an easy option of presenting artwork as a portfolio. I have a batch of JPEGs in an album that I want to display in a certain order, so I named them for example 'iPad app_p01' 'iPad app_p02' and so on. But when I synced the album into iPhoto on the iPad the photos are in a random order and the only option I have is to view them by newest or oldest, no option for by name.
Please can someone help me, this seems like a really obvious option to include in a photo app.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The iPad only sorts by date, and the date is the "date modified", so if you change the version name, you are modifying the date.
I have not tried it myself, but this post looks promising: Re: How do I sort events in iPhoto for iOS?

How can I rearrange songs within an album in the main library?

I have a book on tape that keeps loading out of order. I want to make each chapter a a separate album. Everything works but I can't get the tracks to load in order. Using a playlist would allow me to rearrange but then I can't divide it up into albums. Any suggestions?
(Basically I need to make a permanent change to the order of songs in the main library without using a certain criteria like date,track,album, ect. Click and drag is not working either)

Hi fuzzer,
Have you used the Info (CTRL-I) function? You can edit all track info there, including track number. Sounds like it would do what you're looking for.

How can I sort photos into albums on my iPad and then export them to my iMac?

I want to import photos from my camera card into my iPad, sort them into various albums then export the albums to my iMac. I have 12 albums in Photos with around 300 photos on my iPad, but when I connect it to my iMac iPhoto tries to import all of the 1800 photos without the album structure. How do I transfer the albums and the 300 photos in them to my iMac?

Yes, but the recipient may not be getting the full image file that was used to make the Shared Photo Stream. You would have to run a test to see if there's any reduction in the image and file size. The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are the photos in shared photo streams?
Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

How can I move photos around in an iPhoto album?

I have about 50 photos in an event and I want to change the order. I need help!

In an album (your question subject) you drag photos ot the location you want - in an event (part of your question) you can not manually reorder photos
Which one is your question?
You may want to go through the iPhoto tutorials - they will save you time and frustration

How can I move photos within my documents??

When I insert my photos into my documents, I cannot reposition them as I want. They are all left justified, if you will and when I drag them, they simply snap back to their original position. In the Inspector Metrics pane, the x y coordinates are not active even if the photo is selected, which I do not believe should be the case.
According to Pages Help, I should be able to reposition an image after I insert it but I am not able to do this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like your photos are inline. Select one & then choose floating from either the wrap inspector or the format bar.

How can I sort Photos sandomly in a iPhoto Slideshow? The option to shuffle photos is darkened.

So I am trying to randomly sort my photos in a slideshow that I have created, and iPhoto does not give me the option to randomly sort my photos. I tried playing the slideshow, and then select the settings, which brought up the option to "shuffle slide order" but it will not allow me to select it. It appears that the box may be slightly darkened. I dont understand why it will not let me select it, or if there is some other way to randomly order photos. Thanks.

The only way to get a slideshow sorted randomly is to start with an album and use the Play button at the bottom of the window. Click on the screen to bring up the Settings pane where you can select Shuffle slide order:
If you check User settings as default it will lock those settings to the album you're using. If you empty the album and add new photos the settings will still apply.
