After burning album to CD, order is lost

I am on iPhoto 5. When I burn an album to CD and then read that album from the CD the original order is lost. I have used share-burn and share-export. On the export the jpeg pictures are not in the correct order either. What am I missing? I know I should go to iPhoto 8 but: Can iPhoto 8 read the CDs burned in 5? Does 8 solve the order problem? Many reviews of 8 say it has many bugs. Are things more stable now?
Thanks for any help.

When I burn an album to CD and then read that album from the CD the original order is lost.
No - what you are seeing is the finder's display order which you can change (alpha, date, etc) not the physical order on the CD
If you want the display in a certain then you need to name the photos in that order (photo001, photo002, photo003 etc) so the display order matches what you want
Can iPhoto 8 read the CDs burned in 5?
Yes - but what you want to do is to convert your whole library - not move it via CD - with an upgrade to iLife '08 that will happen (I recommend backing up prior to upgrading - Always)
Does 8 solve the order problem?
No - only to the extent that I know how to export the photos with new names in iPhoto '08 so the display will match what you want - iPhoto 5 may or may not have that capability - I do not remember.
Many reviews of 8 say it has many bugs. Are things more stable now?
What reviews are you reading? iPhoto '08 works great for me and for millions of people. What specific concern do you have about iPhoto '08?

  • After burning photos to DVD Keywords are lost or mixed up

    Hello,
    I burned many a photo to DVD last night and today I checked the DVD only to find most of the Keywords I assigned were now non existent except for a large group that should have read "Self Portraits" but now reads "House".
    are my keywords gone and scrambled?

    Hi Warriorant,
    this is a current bug. Hopefully iPhoto 6 will fix this problem.
    Are the keywords in the library that iPhoto opens still correct?

  • I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

    I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?  Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.  

    File name and Title are not the same thing.
    Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
    Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
    So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
    You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

  • Wrong order on cd after burning

    for some reason, the playlist that i have is not burning in the same order onto a cd... the songs have numbers on them and i made sure that i clicked the album order in the playlist.. but it still burns in the wrong order... alphabetically
    help? please

    I went into INFO & added 01, 02 at the beginning of each title.
    I burned the CD.
    It looks like it's out of order, but it seems to play in the order I chose.
    I printed the CD insert in the order I wanted, and the guy I'm giving the CD to can put them in the order I chose.
    This should be easier than it is. Esp. when giving a gift CD, the order of the songs is important. I don't know why there are several questions on this site with the same problem. APPLE - make it easier.

  • Why after new changes in internal orders settings order number ranges lost?

    Dear Gurus,
    We have noticed that order number ranges are being lost from time to time.
    Than we have analysed that sometimes it happens after new transfers with new orders settings.
    Why the system behaves like that?
    And how can we avoid this problem?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    The process is as below to assign/change number ranges to order types
    Create Order type at KOT2 (KOT2_OPA) and enter Order Category ...say 01
    Enter Order type name and description and SAVE
    Select Number range Interval assingment Icon
    At last row of the number range screen you can see your newly created Order Type
    (Put the cursor on your order type and press F2) and Select the check box of group under which you need to assign and press F5
    Now the newly created order type has been assigned and new number range has been assigned
    So you can change existing order type also as mentioned above (even after posting made to that order types)
    This could be the reason for changing number ranges to order types
    Please take care while assigning number ranges to a new order types.  Do not touch number ranges of existing order types

  • After burning cd from iTunes the end tracks distort

    after burning cd from iTunes 11.04 the end tracks distort upon playback

    Ed,
    I tried burning the files that distort (from Itunes) using toast on my G5 instead of my powerbook pro and still the distortion. Is it possible that itunes corrupted all my files when I upgraded?
    Art,  there is nothing about an iTunes upgrade that would modify the song files in any way, but stranger things have happened.  If the same effect is occurring on a different computer, there is something suspicious.
    Make a new playlist with the same tracks in reverse order and burn it.  Does the distortion appear on the same tracks in their new position?  Or does it move to the tracks that are now the higher numbers?

  • Can I transfer my hand made album sequence (sort order) defined in element when I turn a local album into a mobile album used with IPAD. Or do I have to change the dates artificially?

    Andrew, I know I am extremely late to the party but I too use Grid View.  I had the same problem that you had but have found this to work for me.  I used it and it is still holding as my default sorting even after switching between the Artist page and Grid View.
    Once you are inside of the Artist page continue to click on the Album column until it shows Album by Artist/Year.
    That will give you each album sorted by the year instead of it randomly sorting it for you each time you leave an Artist's page and then back again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Custom sort order still lost

    This was not fixed as reported by Apple with Aperture version 2. When I move custom sorted images from one project to another, or export and import a project with custom sorted images, the sort order is lost. The order after the move, or import is either in file name order or sometimes in a completly random order. This occurs on both my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my 8 core (16GB RAM) Mac Pro.
    This makes it impossible to do efficient work in the field and export the work.

    Followup: I spoke to Andre with Aperture support. He could not confirm this, at first, using a small number of images dragged from project A to Project B. Using a larger number (99 in his case), he was able to confirm the loss of custom sort order. The Apple web site says this has been corrected for import/exports and that is also not fixed. He will refer the problem to engineering for correction in a future update.
    I suspect (have no proof) the problem relates to the way Aperture divides each download (from card or camera) to a project into separate folders. To see this, export a project and open it (show package contents). Within the project package are separate folders for each of the downloads to the project. Aperture does not consolidate the images into a single folder. It appears that when a set of images are downloaded at one time is interposed between images taken previously, the sort order is not lost when the images are moved to another project or exported as a project.
    I still would like to know if there is a work around for this.

  • How do I get Itunes to list an album in track order including ignoring featured artists

    I recently downloaded Daft Punk's new album after buying it on vinyl. after importing it to itunes, itunes wont list the album in track order. instead it lists the tracks in order per artists. example Daft punk, then Daft punk featuring Pharrel Williams ect...how do i get itunes to understand that they're all the same album and to list them in track order??
    thanks

    Hi bdm105!
    Most likely, this is happening because the Album Artist field is different for each song from Random Access Memories. We have an article about song grouping in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
    There are a couple ways to fix the information listed for Random Access Memories outlined in that article, but I want to point out one here:
    Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
    iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Infofrom the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs. This field can optionally be left blank if all the songs have the same album name.
    The Album Artist field is shown in the above picture, but it is not highlighted. You will also want to make sure the Track Number field contains the correct information for the album, and information on that field can be found here:

  • IPhoto images after burning a disc

    I burned a part of last year's images to a disc but do not get the result I wished.
    As seen in in the screenshot below, I selected two maps with albums. Map "Trips" (=n°4) contains 2 albums; the map "Friends" (=n°5) has 7 albums:
    On the contrary after burning these 2 maps and 9 albums the disc displays only 'numbered' maps in consecutive colums:
    What I expected and wished for were these maps to display the names of the selected maps/albums instead!
    Column 4 should mention the maps original names "Trips" and "Friends", column 5 their corresponding albums (respectively 2 and 7), and column 6 their respective thumbnails.
    How come and why those differences in data between my selection in the iPhoto Library and the ones on the burned disc? In any case I would like to understand the way a disc processes the selected images.
    For sure it is highly impratical to have a disc processed and burned without the proper names identifiying the maps/albums. In any case iPhoto's own helpfiles are of no help on this issue.
    As I am postponing the burning of other maps and albums I would truly appreciate any helpful reaction.
    Would 'Toast' resolve my problem?
    Thanks

    Thanks TD and OT.
    As the problem in itself is solved now, I'd still like to know how that burning process came to handle the data of my pics the way as displayed on my previous screenshots, and on the new screenshot shown below, which is so different from what a normal iPhoto screen shows.
    Therefore still these questions:
    1 What causes and is the technical meaning, of creating maps with numbers in a random ranking? As such they make no sense I understand. I mean: why not created as a series of consecutive numbers in sequence?
    2 Why are "M(asters)", "P(reviews)" and "T(humbnails)" not identical, as their format varies? So, M and T contain 4 maps, and P contains 2, although all three relate to the same library? And also between M and T there are differences.
    3 As far as I see, the first part of the figures in the sixth column is correctly related to the year of the images'   creation in 2012. What about the rest of these digit sequences? Theve have a sense, but what?
    This is the new screenshot meant above:
    Can you solve these? Thanks for reading (these dumb questions?).
    Sincerely.

  • How do I get iTunes to organize albums in the order they were released

    iTunes displays the albums in the order of the tile. It should display the albums in the order they were released how are you supposed to do this I've played with sort order and it makes no difference. This seems pretty basic way of organizing an artists music has Apple lost their collective mind with this release of Itunes?

    Why does it absolutely have to display albums by the order they were released?  It can do what the programers want it to do.
    You can sort by album, but then by multiple clicks on the album column header you can get album by artist and album by year.

  • After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play?

    Adobe Premier 11 - After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play, the scene is showing and highlights but wont play...this has only recently just started to happen. I thought it may have been the physical DVD disk issue, but have tried others and same thing is occuring?

    Does iTunes let you burn CDs even though you have installed iTunes 8? There are many users - me included - who have lost the ability to burn CDs after we installed iTunes 8. I am curious to learn what may be different about your settings versus those of us who are being adversely impacted. Do you know what the UpperFilters and LowerFilters are in your registry for disc burning?
    Thank you.

  • Disappearing HD space after burning disc

    Hi, everyone. After I burn a disc in DVD Studio Pro, I notice about 3 GB of space is missing from my Macbook HD. I use an external HD when burning DVDs, and DVD Studio Pro is configured to use this external for encoding and the like. I can't seem to find any new files or folders that could be responsible for the missing space. Anyone have any ideas as to what's causing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    How did that go? I lost near 4Gb from my HD after burning a DVD in DVDSP 4. I checked that folder and its empty.
    Any other ideas?
