IPhone and iPad photos - Sort by date taken

If your photos are not sorted by the date the photos were taken, here's how to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.
I encountered the problem when syncing my photo library from my computer to my iPhone and iPad. Almost all the photos were sorted properly by the date they were taken except for photos taken with a Nikon D70S SLR Camera. The photos from the Nikon D70S were being sorted using the date the sync was performed (not the file creation date nor the EXIF data date). This caused my photo album to not have all the photos in a nice chronological order.
First I checked to ensure the photos output from the Nikon D70S contained the EXIF "date taken" data and they did indeed have the proper date in the EXIF data. Next I checked to see if the EXIF version number was in each file and it was. I then noticed the EXIF version number output by the Nikon D70S was formatted differently than the other sources (e.g. differently than other Nikon cameras, other iPhones, etc).
I then viewed the EXIF data for the Nikon D70S photos in the Adobe Photoshop organizer and found the EXIF version number was missing. It was clearly in the Nikon original files (I use RAW format when taking photos with the Nikon D70S). This led me to suspect Adobe Photoshop Elements was not exporting the data in a form Apple iTunes could read when I was converting the Nikon .NEF files (RAW format) to .JPG files (needed for Apple iTunes and the iPhone and Ipad products). Most likely iTunes needs both the EXIF date taken and EXIF version number when syncing photos into iTunes, if the EXIF version number is missing, it uses the date the sync was performed as the date when sorting the photo file in the iPhone and iPad photo viewer.
I then used Adobe Creative Suite / Adobe Bridge (at our office, it's used for graphic arts work along with regular Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design, etc.) to export the files from Nikon .NEF RAW format to .JPG format and found it output the EXIF data including the EXIF date taken date and EXIF version in a form readable by iTunes.
By using Adobe Creative Suite / Adobe Bridge instead of Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer to convert the Nikon D70S .NEF files to .JPG format (for subsequent import into the iPhone and iPad via iTunes), the process worked properly and the photos are sorted by date taken properly.

Maybe this will help

Can we backup from iPhone and iPad into time capsule?

Can we backup from iPhone and iPad photos and data into time capsule?

iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up only to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud. More details on backups here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you backup the iOS devices to iTunes, then iTunes in turn backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

I can see home sharing on my iPhone and iPad both running iOS 5 but when it loads the library is empty. Help!!

The iPad is new today so pleeeease help! I have the latest version of iTunes and both iPhone and iPad are up to date. I have never had a problem with home sharing before 10.5 iTunes. Both mobile devices can eventually see the shared library but load it as though it is empty. This applies to movies as well. I have turned off home sharing on the mac and restarted it. I have also made sure that the username and password on both mobile devices are correct. Help!
Mac mini ppc running 10.5.8
iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0
iPad 2 running iOS 5.0

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

I have a related but different problem... I prefer that the photos/events on my iPhone and iPad be in "date created" order. Does anyone know if this is possible? Apple...please give us some options.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday. They backed up all my photos on my computer. I was advised to delete photos from Photo stream on my iPhone and iPad and then back it up. I did backup the iPhone, ipad back not possible not enought space

Hello,
I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday. They backed up my camera roll from my iphone as well as my ipad on my computer as I was not able to backup to icloud due to lack of space.
They advised me to delete photos from my photo stream on my iphone and ipad and then do a back up.
I deleted the photos from photo stream on my iphone and ipad.
I was able to backup my iphone but NOT my ipad as it is saying that there is not enough room on icloud to do this back up.
Any solution?

If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
Thank you

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

I lost my MacBook calendar when I performed the action required by 5 May although I have all information on my iPhone and iPad. How do I restore the data on my iCal calendar?

I have performed all the relevant actions required before 5 May to conform with Apple instructions. I have lost my calendar on my MacBook although all is still OK on my iPhone and iPad. I have tried various ways to restore the data including going to MobileMe but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried to merge the information from my iPhone but this did not work either. My Contacts and mail are all OK. Coincidentally I am also unable to access my external hard drive which is working in itself (it is warm and whirrs when activated) but my back ups are failing. Any ideas out there?

Delete the account on your phone. This will not delete any data on her phone or iPad, or data stored in iCloud.
