Photo album - image display order

I just figured out how to get a (massive) photo album onto my 3GS (iOS4) but the order the images are displayed in appears to be random. Is there a way to have the photos displayed in chronological order?
Thanks.
(and now I have just noticed that there is no longer any content in the iPod app, where just before the sync, there was about 10GB. When I hook the phone back up to iTunes, the summary page shows the audio and video correctly, but there is nothing accessible on the phone.)

It seems that iOS devices (or is it just my iPhone 4?) order the photos by file name in stead of not by date. The solution is to rename the photos in Aperture (or iPhoto) based on the date and time taken. In Aperture you can batch change your photos and select version name format: Image Date/Time. It worked! All photos are in order.
Not sure if similar batch renaming is possible in iPhoto, though. Personally, I think the photo order on iOS devices should be based on date and time.

I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order. Advice was to right click on pane at left. I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order. The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane. I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this? Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

Creating photo album in historical order for web page viewing

I am trying to use Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows to create a photo album of historical images for our college archives. The photos were scanned from old pictures so defaulted to sort by the date scanned. I have edited the album by dragging and dropping the pictures to arrange them from the earliest picture of our first building through the years to the present. When this album is viewed on the webpage through www.photoshop.com/ the pictures do not display in the correct order. Can this be changed and if so, how?

After you first sync a PSE 7 album with Photoshop.com, any changes you make to the ordering of pics in the album in PSE arent synced back to Photoshop.com and vice versa. Youll have to manually reorder them in Photoshop.com.
A couple of suggestions for your project:
- Consider assigning dates to the photos in PSE using Edit > Adjust Date And Time. That way, theyll show up correctly ordered in the PSE Organizer, and you can easily add new scanned photos and theyll automatically get ordered.
- Consider using Flickr, Smugmug, or other online service rather than Photoshop.com. Photoshop.com is brand new and has a number of basic bugs in its service it doesnt preserve ordering of albums, it mangles the dates/times of photos, synchronization frequently stalls. Maybe in another six months itll be more robust.

Photo Albums Not Displaying On TP

Hey everyone, spent a few days looking for an answer without any luck, so I apologize if this has been discussed before. I recently loaded about 100 photo albums to my TP using USB file transfer. All images are saved as .jpeg. Half of the photo albums loaded normally, but the other half turn sideways with a vertical white line and another white line at a slight angle crossing it instead of displaying one of the images in from the folder. When I enter the folder, the images are replaced with small icons that flash but don't load, and the loading cycle spins but never refreshes the images. The number of images in the folder keeps changing as well. When I reconnect to my computer, the images are intact in their respective folders, and can be read as normal through USB.
I have tried deleting and re-transferring. I have also tried creating a new folder on the TP and transferring the images into the new folder. I tried renaming the files to .jpg and .jpeg. None of the techniques I have seen online have helped.
Any help??
I am running the most recent update of webOS, and I have not installed any cracks or foreign software. I am attempting to index the albums using the webOS photo app.
Thanks!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Found this information, but I am not sure if the fix will apply to my system? I am not certain if Internalz or Luna are factory installs or downloadable apps?

Okay, fixed it. Took longer to try various thing and the fix is failry easy.
1) Launcher to Settings, open Device Info.
2) Tap the More Info button, then the Software up top of the next screen.
3) Scroll down and tap Photos & Videos v3.0.2
4) A pop=up should appear, and seemed mine took a while to show the Done button.
Also went to Internalz Pro, Preferences, scrolled down to Image Viewer and finally turned the Register as file handler to the off position.
Unsure if the second part was needed or not. When I closed Internalz Pro and opened Photos and Video everything was back to normalagain.
Final Step is to restart Luna, and then the TouchPad. Otherwise you'll end up with several horizontal panes meshed together on the preview - making viewing quite annoying!

Photo Albums in Random Order

I have recently moved from Aperture to Lightroom because Apple are no longer going to develop Aperture. Needless to say I have to create new photo albums to be able to view on ATV, which I've done.
Now when I point iTunes to the folders of albums they appear in chronological order in iTunes (my files are names by year/month - album name e.g.. 2014/08 - Vacation)
When I view the photo album list on ATV they are in a random order. Does anyone know a work around that I am not seeing. I do remember some years ago this happened and then an update happened and it seemed to rectify it. And yes my ATV's are up to date.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Before going into any depth about this have you checked that you aren't simply using the shuffle option in the slideshow settings.

Photo albums not displayed when viewing my website

I have a website for my band www.lastarrow.combut the photos page isn't displaying properly.
It should look like this:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i27/eastwoodandy/Picture5.png
But it is displaying like this:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i27/eastwoodandy/Picture7.png
The page was fine a couple of weeks ago, the only recent change is that I've had to remove the domain name from mobileme (because I now have two websites & domain names) and just have www.lastarrow.com redirect to http://web.me.com/andywoodhouse/Last_Arrow/Home.html
The direct link to the photos page is http://web.me.com/andywoodhouse/Last_Arrow/Photos/Photos.html
Can anyone offer any help on this?
I tried changing some of the attributes of the photos page (changing the photo album borders) and republished but they are still not displaying.
I have also done a test by publishing to folder and opening it in a browser and it works perfectly fine.

Andy:
Try using the File->*Publish All to MobileMe* menu option to republish your site. See if that will work. I see you're at the latest iWeb version, 2.0.4, so that's not a factor.

How do you sort photo albums in date order instead of alphabetic order?

My photo albums used to be date sorted but after selecting Sort albums, they are now in alphabetic order. How do I undo that, please?

I am sorry that I ran afoul of the user guidelines, I'll remove the rant if I can. I certainly did not intend my gripe to target the helpful responder. And yes, I did provide the feedback to Apple. I'm just used to such feedback going into a "black hole". Which this almost certainly does because this problem has existed for years (I Googled for an answer first.) However, it should be noted that company's tend to respond to feedback that is very public if they want to keep a good name in the business. The private feedback through the program is like a quiet whisper, only the two parties involved know about it, so there is no real incentive for prompt action.

Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all my photos are actually in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different. It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album.
On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

Why aren't my photo albums in alpha order on AppleTV?

I have AppleTV 1. When I scan my iPhoto albums to select one to play a slideshow, the albums are not in the alphabetical order as in iPhoto. And, AppleTV shows some "albums" that are actually not albums at all - they are individual photos. Can anyone explain this? How can I get AppleTV to show all of my albums in alpha order?

I couldn't answer that with any guarantee, I don't share events with my Apple TVs. If as may be the case events aren't able to be listed in the same ways as albums, you might consider using Albums instead of events. I use them out of preference as they allow me to do a number of things that events don't, such as missing out photos or using the same photo in more than one album.

Altering the metadata of photos to improve display order?

I am having a problem organizing my photos. A few years ago, when I was stuck in PC world, I had a computer crash. I was dumb enough at that time to not have a recent HD backup. A friend of mine removed my hard drive and hooked it up as a slave drive to his computer to salvage many valuable photos, etc... This was in 2004.
So the metadata of all photos up to that date was erased. It was no problem, as at that time I organized my photos through Windows Explorer and was able to file the photos by date manually in the folders.
Now that I use iPhoto for all photo management, I'm having a problem with the display order of the photos. Photos that were taken in 2002 are displayed in the middle of the 2004 photos, because in the "photo info" screen there are no "original" or "digitized" dates. There is only the "modified date" in 2004 because this is when the photos were recovered from the slave drive.
Is there any way to change the metadata in these files to make them show up in the correct chronological order? This is a very annoying situation.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

If you also want to change the Capture Date in the original file you can use PhotoInfo to batch change that date. If all in a folder are the same date you can then have them sequentially index by 1 minute per photo or whatever delta time you'd like. But iPhoto won't recognize that date until those files are imported again. If you don't want to reimport all of those files you can change the dates within iPhoto as Terence described for use within iPhoto and use PhotoInfo just to make sure the original files are up to date and later use outside of iPhoto. Just don't rename any of the files or move them via the Finder while updating the dates.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Apple TV - refresh list of photo albums to display

Hi,
I'm sharing my Aperture photo library through iTunes so we can have big screen slideshows. I have noticed that when I create a new album in Aperture it seems to take a fairly long time before the new album shows up in Apple TV as a viewable option for a slideshow.
Is there a way to speed up the resync so the new album is picked up and viewable sooner?
Also, does anyone know if there's a way to pick up the settings from an Aperture album (meaning - I only want to display the 4 star photos and above from an album vs. all the rest of the shots?)?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Below is the sequence for updating Apple TV with a photo collection on a home-shared iMac, which works for me. As you can see, it's a bit convoluted, but based on what I've read this is the most efficient way to have images immediately update for your custom screensaver.
For my setup, I store my images on a remote drive connected to my iMac. Whenever I make a change to add images, the quickest way I know of for getting them to show up on my Apple TV screensaver is as follows:
Add new images to your designated photos folder
Rename the designated folder (change it in any way)
In iTunes select "File->Home Sharing->Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV"
Select "Share Photos from:"
Retarget to the new (or newly named) folder you created
Close; then reopen iTunes
Go to Apple TV and select "Settings->Screensaver->Photos"
Under "Computers" your library should appear (note: this may take a couple minutes); select it and the circle-timer wheel should run
As you can see, there are several steps, but I'm unaware of a faster route to reliably get the photos to update.
Hope this helps!

IPad, iPhone image display order from Aperture

When I used to sync from iPhoto, the images were displayed in the same order as the iPhoto album.
Now that I'm syncing from Aperture, the images are being displayed in Filename order. How can I change it so the iPad displays in date order? Is there something I need to do when creating the album?

No, it just seems to be a bug. I have been reporting it to apple some months ago now i think.
It took them 2-3 weeks to understand the issue and aknowledge its a bug.
nothing has moved every since, i am pretty fed up because all my pictures are very mixed up
please do use the aperture-feedback page. i dont get the feeling apple is working on this issue.

All Photos Album Incorrect Sort Order

When I view the album "All Photos" from iCloud.com my photos are sorted by date with the newest ones at the bottom. When I view "All Photos" within iOS or the OS X app, the sorting order isn't correct. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I think this is an embarrassing thought-fail on Apple's part.
After removing good ways of sharing photos from one library to another, people end up having to get older pictures, or pictures loaded into a laptop while traveling, back onto our main Photos libraries though copying (edited) files over the network and re-add them. This create systematic discrepancies in date added and date taken.
When "All Photos" Panoramas", "Videos" and otherwise handy views can only be viewed by date added they add to the feeling of having to keep your photos in an exposed disorder.
If you think of a photo, do you think about when/where you took it or when/to what library you added the photo?
People think of the first, and machines (and now apparently Apple) intuitively think of the second..
But maybe I'm too harsh, and I have missed something. Can anybody see a good reason for focusing on date added rather than date taken?

I can get my photo album in alphabetic order ?

i've just get the new photo for mac book air and i transfert my iphoto evenements on album but it's not by alphabetic order...

select the events album and under the view menu "Keep sorted by title"

Photos album preview display pic

in the photos app
my albums have synced but the first pic is not always the one shown as the preview pic in the albums view tab
is there a way to change this
also i can no longer move organise the order of the albums directly on the phone
are others having these problems
are there any solutions
thanks in advance

Hi Nicole, welcome to Discussions.
The easiest way is to copy & paste from Amazon. Via iTunes, you can paste it by highlighting the songs within the album, right click the mouse, and then paste the art. This method will do the whole album rather than song by song. Check my post Simon Clayton, "Good source for quality album art" #2, 07:50am Oct 26, 2005 CDT
for a way of getting higher quality art, but be careful:
read the following post first Matt Downham, "Album Art Woes / iPod Freezing Issue", 01:40pm Oct 21, 2005 CDT which highlights a possible problem with art on the 5G. I am still waiting for my iPod to arrive, so have not tested it yet.
