Date order iPhoto albums

With the updated software, my iPhoto is very difficult to use from before. First, when I look at Albums, they are no longer in date order. It used to list the albums in date order and show the range of dates in each album. How can I resolve this please?

see the following support pages for PHOTO (They dropped the I)
Photo uses the creation date IPHOTO used the event setup.

How do I order iPhoto album send to Europe?

How do I order iPhoto album send to Europe? I just spend tons of time arranging all images i my album in iPhoto, when I submit to buy I can only order delivery in US?
Thank you for helping me out here!!

Not sure you can - you may have to re-ship
What version of iPhoto do you have? What country in Europe? Do you have a local credit card for that country?
If you have iPhoto '11 which you do not mention try setting the iPhoto print products country in the iPhoto preferences and see what happens

How to order iphoto albums by date?

I have resorted my Iphoto albums over and over. They STILL rearrange themselves. What am I doing wrong? Heck.

iPhoto 1.0 did that automatically until iphoto 4 or so... it even sorted photos in dated folderes using exif data. For whatever reason a "brilliant" person in apple decided to date the folders with the importing date, some absolutely useless. And also decided to take out the calendar feature and created the also useless events concept, which is ok for a couple of mum and dad pictures, but useless if you have thousands of pictures and hundreds of events and projects.
Aperture mimics iPhoto and missed this too for the sake of compatibility. Flickr has way better sorting capabilities in that respect than Aperture & iPhoto. In flickr you have a calendar where you see all pictures by date... something absolutely ease to implement in both Aperture and iPhote but Apple decided not to.
Halfway Solution: Smart Folders and show date under every picture. That way if you create a Smart Folder 2012 (11) NOV: inside you will see all pictures of that month and you can spot fast the pictures shot on Nov the 10th.
This is the way a name folders and pictures:
Year (Month Number) Month's Name 3 first letters - Day of the Week 3 first letters - HourMinuteSecond - Event Name or Activity - City - Country
2012 (11) Nov Sun 13h23m34s - 11 Apostoles - Great Ocean Road - Victoria - Australia
I've being naming my pics this way for the last 10 years and I spot instantely where I have take every picture just reading the name. You can use IPTC and Aperture or other rename app.
I name folders like this:
Year (Month Number) Month's Name 3 first letters - Event or Activity o Proyect
2012 (11) Nov - Event or Activity o Proyect
Using Month Number sorted folders and pictures by date.

Hi
I've created an iphoto album and ordered...and it's great.
I've registered it as a pdf file and after that I've cleaned all iphoto library.
Now I'd like to order the same album...Have I to create it all over again or I can order just using the pdf file?

You can not order from a PDF
You can reorder up to 40 days after an order
Can Apple reprocess a previous order?
Apple stores the image files of book, card, and calendar orders for 40 days, and print orders for 20 days, from the date of purchase. We will be unable to reprocess an order on your behalf once the files have been removed from our servers. To ask Apple to reprint a previous order, please email us using the form below.
Note: Reprocessed orders will ship to the same address and be charged to the same credit card listed on the original order.

IMac or Mac Pro for iPhoto albums and home movie editing?

I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5. This system is now obsolete for ordering iPhoto albums. I need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 to buy a Mac produced photo album. To upgrade iPhoto I need to buy a new Mac as my 2004 Mac Pro with 2008 Snow Leopard can't be upgraded. I will use the new Mac for email, web surfing, iPhoto, and weekend video editing. I use Final Cut Express on my current Mac Pro. I will also need to transfer videos and about 20,000 photos from my current Mac to a new one.
So, here's the question: For my needs (listed above) which is better,
(1) iMac 27" or (2) new Mac Pro? Then, with the one chosen, how should it be configured to do my basic video editing? I have 100 hours of family video on Hi8 and VCR tapes and will edit these on Final Cut and burn them to DVD's. (I understand both iMac or Mac Pro now require an external DVD set-up.) So, which computer and how should it be configured. Looking to pay between $2500-$3500. Thanks for your help!

What video formats are you talking about? DV, HDV, etc?
Mac Pro is a better solution, regardless. Here's why: Simply upgrading an iMac HD is not enough. You do not want to capture your video to the boot drive. It's too much to ask the drive to manage the OS, your editing software, AND your media. This scenario might work - but is certainly prone to dropping frames. Ideally, you want one drive for OS + editing software & a separate drive to capture media to.
Now, since you can only have a single HD in the iMac, you're demoted to using external capture drives. So let's say you get yourself a FW800 drive for capture and then hook up your camera/deck to an available FW400 port. You'd think you're safe - and again, you may be. But the problem now is that the iMac has ONE and only ONE FireWire bus. So in theory these 2 devices: HD & Camera are battling for the same bandwidth. So you've still got a bottleneck happening.
So DV only would probably work. But it may have issues that the expandability of the Mac Pro can conquer. Hope this helps.

Iphoto album sort order issue.

Stadard iphoto album (iphoto 11) being manually sorted suddendly reverted to what appears to be a random sort order. The order now is not by date, camera, keyword, or any other. It appears to have set its own manual order. How can this happen? Is there a way to revert back to the previous sort order? Even if I had mistakenly reset the manual sort, wouldn't it default back to one of the standard sort criteria?

want to replace the original photos in the event
You don't have to. If you look at the photo in the Event that tghe photo came from you'll find that it has been edited.
The photos in albums are only pointers to the original photo in the Event. There's no file duplication in the process of adding a photo to an album.

Is there a way to organise albums in date order

In iphoto I could just scroll down my events and come to a date. I have a multitude of albums exported from iphoto into photos, but they are in random orders and I wanted to dispay them in date order, without having to manually dragging the album into place. Is this possible??

No but see reply by léonie and her suggestion to make a suggestion to Apple as well
in the new app Photo, faces are in no particular order that i can see. can faces be re-ordered or sorted?

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. My events are not sorted in date order even though I have chose it to under the view tab????

I cannot get my photos in date order in iPhoto 11 What can I do to remedie this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How keep original order of photos in iPhoto album when transferring to Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this? Also, does anyone know how to keep the captions below photos when using Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this?
Are you asking about "My Photo Stream" or a "Shared Photo Stream"?
"My Photo Stream" is only a temporary buffer, not meant for long term storage. You have no control over the order of the photos in the stream. Mostly they will be ordered by the date.
"Shared Photo Streams" will be ordered in the same order as add the photos. SO you can control the sequence by adding the photos one by one.
The captions will not be transferred, only the file names.

Iphoto albums won't sync in order on iPad

Since iOS6 came out I haven't been able to sync photo albums made in iphoto with my ipad. I have the photo albums sorted by title in iphoto and before they would sync over to my ipad in that correct order, but now when I try to sync them over they appear in a completely different order. So I was just wondering how I can get albums from iphoto to sync in the correct order on my ipad?

I have asked this same question numerous times at the Apple store and have not received an answer. I worked with an Apple rep via phone for 2 hours who said I needed to wipe the (new) iPad clean and re-set up the iPad as new, with the photos and then the issue would be resolved. Not! I still have the same problem. Events on my Mac are in date order (as the events are labeled in iPhoto) from most current to oldest. You can imagine without the events being in order how difficult it is to find a particular event (no less a single photo) in over 14,000 photos.
By accident I did discover that the events are in chronologic order in the wall paper setting on the iPad so it is possible for this to occur on the iPad but not in iPhoto on the iPad?!?!?
Has ANYONE found a solution to this?

Sort 'albums' to date order

I recently upgraded to OS Yosemite X and my photos transferred from iPhotos to Photos. Frankly, Photos is a mess and not user friendly.
My problem is that my hundreds of 'iPhoto events' appeared in an 'iPhoto Events' folder within 'Photos albums'. I selected them all and then converted them all into separate 'albums'. Unfortunately, they are now all mixed up out of date order and there doesn't appear to be any way you can put them in correct date order. I then did an 'undo' to put they all back into the 'iPhoto events' folder and they are in the same mixed up state.
Please can anyone advise me how to get them back into date order?

I agree. Have experienced exactly the same. I have spent hours manually sorting Albums into order - why is there no option to sort by date? Asked in Apple Store and they could not answer. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.
Also found that when photos are in Albums there is no way of editing - can only be done in Photos.
Can't merge Albums either.
Can't save emailed photos to Photo either - there's an option to do that but it does't appear to work - I don't know where it's sent.
It's a not at all user friendly. Photos are sorted how Apple think you want to see them i.e. en masse and in date order on Photos - I DON'T WANT THAT.
It wasn't made clear on the update to Yosemite that such a drastic change would happen - I wish I hadn't updated.

Change iPhoto events in Aperture to date order, instead of ABC?

Hi
I like how Aperture 2.0 works with iPhoto imports better, listing events. However, it lists my iPhoto events in ABC order. I'd much prefer them to be listed in order by the date they were shot or whatever like in iPhoto. Anyway to do this?
Thanks so much!!!

If, like me, you used Events as your main organizational tool - you will really be disappointed in Photos.   My Albums transferred, but I had over 100,000 pictures, taken over 13 years and organized mostly by the "Event/Title" line above each group of pictures.   Those titles did not transfer to Photos.
They do have an Album titled iPhoto Events and a lot of events are in there - however, not all and they are in a completely random order.   In my case, over 3,000 events with absolutely no way to find anything other than scroll through or possibly search. Also, at this time there is no way to move forward with Event organization as it does not exist.   There is not way in Photos to label each days photos with an event or title.   It's like one big huge shoebox with date order the only organization. Ridiculous.
I mostly use a 35mm SLR Camera without any GPS designation - so I now have 109,000 photos in one big list organized by nothing but the date taken or scanned.
I have also scanned a lot of family history photos and old family photos - fortunately I put most of those in Albums - otherwise Photos is very excited to just list them according to the date I scanned them which has nothing to do with the content of the photo.
Definitely back up your iPhoto before you do anything.   I am looking for an outside program that will continue my organization and not throw everything out on the whim of people who just use photos for social media and sharing.   This change made me realize that Apple has no intention of creating and keeping a serious organization system for amateur and professional photographers who have a large number of files that need to be organized and kept for many years.

In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug. I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

You can't.
And advertising that you are breaking the rules with your account here in public just alerts Apple that they have a user who believes that the rules don't apply to them.

How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
