How do I keep the order of a playlist when I synch to my 1st gen. shuffle?

Hi,
I have a 1st generation Shuffle and am trying to synch a playlist to it. I am able to drag and synch the playlist, but once it gets on my Shuffle, all the songs are alphabetized. I want to keep them in the order of my playlist. How do I do this? I am SO frustrated! Thanks, Melissa

Melissa, once you go to the contents page of your device, you will see panels that say: Name, Time, Artist, etc. By clicking on one of these panels, you can change the order according to these criteria. I had this same problem for 2 weeks, couldn't figure it out. My wife solved it in 2 minutes. Try this and good luck.

How can I keep the order of my photos when I synch them with my iPad

Prior to transferring my photos to my iPad, I arrange the photos in a specific order. Once the transfer to my iPad is complete, the sequence/ordering of the photos from the Album/Event never stays in tact. I am using iTunes to manage the transfer process. Is there a trick to making the photos all transfer in the order they were originally placed?

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry about the lack of info. I am using iPhoto to compile and arrange my photos. I am using IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad. I went as far as to include the sequence number for each photo in hopes it would sort by sequence. But if it is by capture date etc... then I guess that won't help. I wasn't aware that you could rearrange the order of your photos once they had transferred to the iPad. I guess I could also create a slideshow of the photos and synch it with the iPad.. That should maintain the order... Thanks again..

How do you keep the order using SELECT WHERE IN()?

Hi,
Is there a way to keep the order when using SELECT WHERE IN()? For example, using the following query:
SELECT id FROM data_table WHERE id IN('56','55','54','1','7');
The results will come back using the default order by id. 1,7,54,55,56
When I want to keep the order used in the IN: 56,55,54,1,7
Is there a quick way to do this in mySQL or will I be forced to order it after in code.
Thanks

The results will come back using the default order by id. 1,7,54,55,56In case the order by docs and comments weren't clear on this point, there is no default order and they may come back in a different order. Usually after you've tested it to exhaustion to prove otherwise, then put it in production.

ThanksUsing the in list allows oracle to have other possible data access paths than simply running the query 5 times. If for whatever reason you don't want to order the results after they come back, it may be worth your while to just run the five queries serially in the order you want, using bind variables and so having identical queries. That may seem silly on its face, but then again, we don't know the real requirements, what else is going on, if this is simplified from the real code or whether there will always be 5.

Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

How do I keep the order of sequentially named images from randomizing on import?

I have several thousand images that I've named sequentially and I'd like to add them to my book, so that each image takes up a single page and the images display sequentially. The issue I've been having is that the order becomes jumbled when the images are imported.
I've been importing images a hundred or so at a time using different methods. When I go to INSERT, CHOOSE and then select my files they land on the page initially in the correct order. When I change their placement to INLINE their order randomizes.
I've also tried this process with only five images and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
As a way of trying to work around this, I found that if I make a pages document with the correct order and then insert it as a new chapter, the order seems to improve. But still the image order becomes jumbled badly in some areas. There does seem to be some improvement though.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to deal with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
One more thing: The images themselves are very similar to one another and so the only way I've been able to tell which is which for sure is by selecting it and reading it's name in the inspector. Is it possible that this is actually some kind of lag between what I've selected and the image name updating? I am working with a bunch of images, but then again, I was having the same issue with only a few images so maybe not.

The script that I used in my action is here: http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2010/09/add-file-name-as-text-layer.html
The files that I've been working with were originally exported automatically from a PDF and then renamed and resized using Automator. The names are sequential 00001 - 15000.gif but for some reason they only import in the correct order after I've run them through my PS action... Which is slow going unfortunately. I agree that it's unlikely that their appearance has anything to do with the issue. Not sure what was causing the problem, but I'd like to if anyone willing to make an educated guess happens to be reading.
The method I use to make a multipage iBook without placing each image individually is to edit my chapter template so that it's just full-page, linked, text boxes. Then I make a new chapter, grab up to 200 images in the finder and drag them on to the page while holding command. This places the images in the text box and adds pages automatically to fit everything I'm inserting.

How can I keep the order of photos in an album when I upload it to Flickr?

When I share an iPhoto album on Flickr, the order of the photos in my album is lost. Apparently Flickr uses the photo date, but that defeats all the manual arranging I have done in my album. How can I preseve the photo order on upload?
Also, the description of each uploaded photo appears in small print and not in the main Flickr label box. This means the description cannot be seen if a photo is viewed in full screen mode. How can I automatically transfer the iPhoto descriptions to the main Flickr label boxes?
Is there a better way to share iPhoto albums on the Web (Picasso)?

I'm glad you found a solution
For for others and you in the future it is important to understand
Albums are a way to VIEW photos in your desired order within iPhoto - the photos do not have any order (in fact they are in files scattered essentially randomly accross your hard drive)
When you move the out of iPhotoand view them in another program that program determines teh order they are viewed in
An easy to see an example is the finder - files exported from iPhoto and viewed via the finder can be viewed in many different sort orders including name, date created, date modified, size, kind and label - none of these have any relation to the order the photos were in the album UNLESS you cause that to happen (like by exporting using sequential file names so teh finder name sort matched the album order) - the order you see photos in is totally determined by the program you are using to view them - if you understand how it views them then you may be able to export them so that the destination program view martches the iPhoto view
To make suggestions to Apple re exporting to Flickr (or any other outsidside service) - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback - and to make suggestiont to thrid party suppliers like the Picasa export plugin contact the developer of that plugin

How do I Maintain the Order Photos Are Displayed When Burning a DVD

I have created an album from several different events. I want to burn this album to a DVD for a presentation. When I do this, the photos are reorganized and displayed by date/time and separated into two different groups. How can I burn a DVD that maintains the order of photos in the album?
Thanks,
Peter

Yay! I finally found out how to keep the photos in your albums in the correct order when you export the album! I am fortunate to have AppleCare so I decided to call them after trying to figure this out for years.
The fellow on the phone said he'd had others call about this and that he and a caller figured it out, trial and error. I suggested they add it to the user guide for the rest of us!
Here you go:
1. Select your album and all the photos in it.
2. Go to Export under File
3. Change File Name option to Sequential
4. Where it says "Prefix for Sequential" type in the exact name of your album.
That's it! When you hit Export, the photos stay in perfect order! Yay!

How/Can I Change the Order of a Playlist

I purchased a Greatest Hits album from iTunes and then 4 more extra songs from the same band. I then created a New Titled playlist from the library so I could burn a CD of these purchased songs, but one of the extra purchased songs " insists" on being in the Number One (1) location in the list of songs, the 3 others went to the bottom of the greatest hits playlist as I want. Dragging and Dropping, etc. doesn't seem to work, is there another way ?
iTunes (6.0.4 )

What happens if you create a new test playlist and drag the tracks to it one-by-one in the order that you want them?
I myself have not run up against a case of not being able to manually reorder tracks in a playlist as long as shuffle was off the the first column was clicked on.

How do I keep the little hair strands visible when blurring the background?

I am trying to blur the background of a portrait, what's the easiest way to keep all the little hair strands in focus but keep the background blurred?
M:)

In Photoshop CS5, this can be done with great precision using the smart radius option in the Refine Edge dialog.
In PSE, you can make a selection first using a soft brush around the hair. If the color of the hair doesn't vary much, you can also try using the Magic Selection brush.

How do I keep the volume consistent on iPhoto when making a slideshow with video?

I am making a slideshow for my church. I first made it in iMovie but the picture quality was lost considerably when I uploaded them into iMovie. I read that there was no way around that, so to use iPhoto instead. I have video's that I am including, but when ever I apply it all with the song I want to play, when ever the videos come up the sound gets quiet as if it were allowing the videos to be heard. I DONT want that. I do not have any sound for the video's and dont want any. Is there any way to make the volume consistant throughout the entire slideshow?
If not, is there a way to keep the picture quality on iMovie????

PhotoPresenter will not mute selected music over a movie file that does not have a sound track component. I use Quicktime Player with QT Pro and can strip out any audio track in a movie. PP then plays it without dipping the sound during the movie portion. This demo page has a few of the over 20 animated themes in PP: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes
There may be others with the same capability but with PP there have to be no sound track component in the file like the one shown in this screenshot in QT Player 7:

How can I keep the old version of iMovie when I add the new version?

In the past, when I new version of iMovie came out, I kept the old working version by puttting it inito a folder, and labeled it 'Old iMovie', or some such. When I installed the new version, it didn't recognize that folder, and left the old version alone. That way, if there were bugs/problems with the new version, I could always revert to the "old" version, without probems.
Would that still work?
Thanks
Hal
PS: How is the new version working?

You don't need to move anything around. Apple has anticipated that some people may prefer to use the old version along with the new one, so when you update to iMovie 10, a script runs that puts your iMovie 9 into a folder inside your Applications folder:
/Applications/iMovie 9.0.9
People are having a lot of problems with the new version. You can look through this forum to find out what they are, and see if there are workarounds.
I updated to 10, updated all my Projects and Events, and began using it; but after about 10 days decided to go back to 9. I'll try 10 again when Apple releases an update to fix the problems and add back some of the features they stripped out.

How do I keep the "display time" from changing when I change the "appear after" time?

Hello,
I am having the the problem that the "Display For" time for my text captions changes from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time" when I drag the "Appear After" time in the time line.
In other words, when I try to change when a text caption appears by dragging its Appear After point on the timeline from the very the start of the slide to e.g. 3 seconds after the slide starts, it automatically changes when it "disappears"... By that I mean the Display For time in "Timing" switches by itself from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time"...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Ryan

Hi there
It's a feature!
Aside from making Ctrl+E your new best friend, the best you can do is report to Adobe and hope it gets fixed in a future release.

How do I keep the bookmarks tab from closing when trying to select a bookmark?

When I press the bookmark star it flashes a list of bookmarks that I have bookmarked and closes the list before I can get my curser to the location of the page I want to open.
This also happens in the bar when I am typing in a website. It flashes the correct url but closes before I can click it.
Very frustrating.

From email, whenever I click on an attachment, it opens in another window with the tab for the attachment as I expect. But the NewTab TAB opens as well and is the active tab. So I have to click on the attachment tab to view it. Then when done, if I delete the attachment tab , I also have to delete the NEW Tab as well.
This is a recent development and is different from the way things worked before.

TS1359 recently purchased the dark knight and it will not play on my 1st gen apple tv what can I do it says it's not the right format

How can I get the new batman movie to play on my apple tv 1st gen it says it's the wrong format and I don't understand that the batman movies are the only movies I've purchased that will not play. I cannot sync them or stream them.

If you delete the 1080p version from iTunes (but rescue the file from the trash in case you need it in the future), then go to iTunes Preferences and change download option to SD or 720p HD you should be able to redownload from the cloud under the Store's Purchased section.
I used to download SD and both HD formats but of late I use the AppleTV 1 less and only get the 1080p HD, though should probably getthe other versions in case I need them one day as they may not be there forever. It's fiddly to download all 3 formats as you have to mess around with settings but can be done.
I like to have a copy as there is no guarantee the files will be in iTunes cloud forever.
