Droid S Charge - Photo Albums or Sorting?

I'm sure I've missed something, but is there a way in the gallery to create different 'albums'? or groupings and the ability to sort photos? I'm looking to divide what is work related, family, personal, etc. for downloaded photos, or those taken with the camera (combined) and can't seem to lock this down or figure out if it's just an user error, haha.
Thanks in advance for any help/direction. Didn't see anything in the manual either.
[for DROID Samsung Charge]

Dear ckswanson,
I am not aware of an option to create albums or collections within the gallery itself. You can of course upload the pictures to another service, such as Picasa or Verizon Media Manager, create the albums there, and see them on the phone. It's a little more cumbersome than being able to do it right in the gallery.

ALL PHOTOS album not sorting by date???

For some reason the ALL PHOTOS album is not sorting itself by date and time of when the photo was taken. They appear very random!
I don't know why this is happening. The VIDEOS album is sorting properly by date and time of when it was taken. The BURSTS album is sorting fine too.
It would be nice if there was an option to sort the ALL PHOTOS album by date. I know you can select the PHOTOS tab at the top and see photos sorted by date and time and place but I primarily use the ALL PHOTOS album and it just looks messy when it's not sorted properly. This was my go to in iPhoto and it was always sorted and images were easy to find.
Anyone know of any work arounds?
Thanks in advance
j

The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

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?

Organizing images for a photo album (to be printed) not working as expected

I am trying to create a group of selects from a vacation from which I will print 40 non-snorkeling photos to put in a physical photo album. Here’s what I’m doing:
Created project Hawaii, imported about 400 images.
Created keywords "Hawaii", “Snorkeling Trip” and “Everything Else”
Created Smart Album “Land and Air” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Everything Else”
Created Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Snorkeling Trip”
Created empty Album “Photo Album”
At this point I have about 400 images in the project Hawaii, 350 in Smart Album “Land and Air” and 50 in Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip”. So far everything is working as expected.
Next I selected the Smart Album “Land and Air”, switched to the Ratings & Keywords view, walked through all images and found 40 to rate 5-stars. I also cropped and made some adjustments.
Next I re-arranged these 40 selects to an order that better depicts a story. Note: At this point the sort field indicates “Custom” as expected.
Next I dragged these 40 selects into empty Album “Photo Album”. This is where the problems begin:
In the Album "Photo Album", the sort order changed to “Image Date” and “Custom” is now grayed out. I can not change the order of the images.
All of these images are “- version 2”. If I click on the Smart Album “Land and Air” these 40 “- version 2” images appear there, too, in addition to the ones that are already there. I.E. There are 40 more images in “Land and Air”, 40 of the original images and 40 of “- version 2”. Interestingly, the originals and “- version 2” images are identical – they are both cropped and adjusted.
I’m confused as to why there are “- version 2” images when they are the same (with crops and adjustments) as version "1”. What I expected was to just have the 40 images I selected out and arranged in the Album “Photo Album” and the original 40 in Smart Album “Land and Air” not duplicated and would (or perhaps would not?) reflect the crops and adjustments, and keywording.
How should I be doing this? What am I doing wrong?

I assumed a loop added to the library would be available for all users
no, only the user that created it
and all projects,
see the first link
if I could just export this loop as a wav file
GB only exports AIFF, AAC, and mp3, however you can convert them to a wav if you need to:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
to the desktop or something and then pull it into the new project, but I can't find any way to do that.
export the part you want:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
and import that:

I looked under /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Garageband {...} and that folder is full of loops, but not the one I have created.

Albums all sorted then suddenly get messed up

I have my photo albums manually sorted in iPhoto, just the way I want them to appear in my iPhone/iPad. Worked perfectly like this for 3 years. However, two weeks ago the order of the albums was just suddenly all jumbled up randomly. I painstakinginly re-ordered them back the way they were. Yesterday it did it again. WHY? Anyone?

Greetings,
If the albums spontaneously changed that suggests perhaps an issue with the iPhoto Library itself (damage).
A few questions for you first:
__Do you maintain backups of your computer (Time Machine for example)? If so, you can go back in time before this issue occurred and restore your Library. If you don't have backups you should seriously consider it. Anyone that has information they care about on any computer should have a backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
__The albums that are changing, are they iPhoto Albums or are they MobileMe galleries (An album is a little blue book and a gallery is a cloud)
__Is your iPhoto Library being stored in the location specified by Apple (Your User > Pictures > iPhoto Library) or are you keeping it somewhere else?
Try some basic fixes:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
You may still have to re-sort your albums at this point, but hopefully they won't magically change again.
Again, if you don't have a backup, I would highly recommend it.
Hope that helps.

In IOS5, Photo Albums are no longer sorted by Album name?

Ouch!   I have been using photos on my iPhone (now the 4s) for years, and always synched with my PC where I use Photoshop Elements.   I carefully organize my photos, put them in albums, and then sync to my iPhone.   My album names are titles like "Vacation in California"," John's 30th Birthday Party", etc. It's great because whether on my phone or on the PC, I can find my photo albums easilly.   They are, of course, listed alphabetically by the name I give the album.
But no longer.   Album names on my iPhone seem to be in random order. Perhaps they're in order by the date of one of the pictures in the album? Not really sure here, as my albums usually contain dozens of pictures.
At any rate, why has this happened? And more importantly, how do I get the albums to sort by name?    I noticed that you can now manually change the order of albums on the phone itself, but this is not much help, as it goes back to the former sequence when I re-sync.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I posted this almost a month ago, I'm surpirsed noone else had had this issue...
I don't sync that often (yeah, I know, crusify me), but tonight I went to synchronise again and I got a different photo that wont come over....
In addition to the above:
- the photos are taken with the same camera, on the same date and time as other photos around it...
So "why is it now no longer compatible with iphone4?"????
If I unsync a photo, it just gives me a new photo it can't sync.
Can anyone tell me how to find ALL the photos it can't sync? This is a serious deficiency of iphoto/itunes/sync with iphone...

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?

Dear Grumpy
this is strictly a user to user forum and is specifically NOT a place to contact Apple - griping at the volenteer users here does no one any good at all
Have you made the request - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback?

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.

IPhone photo album file name sort order

I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac. When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order. The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.). It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order. The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
Thanks,
David

Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.

My photo albums used to be sorted by name now they are sorted by date (ipod touch ) any ideas?

my photo albums on my ipod touch
were sorted by name now they are sorted by date taken .I didn't change any settings on my computer any ideas?

You're in the Photo Mode with Event Titles displayed so you are looking at events. But in this mode you can only sort the photos within the Events, not the Events.
Go to the Events mode and there you can sort the events by: date, title or manually:
FWIW albums arew those items in the left hand pane:

Droid Incredible Photo Albums

How do you create photo albums on the droid incredible? I have found no way to do this on the phone and every pic I take goes into camera shots and all photos folders.
I would like to be able to organize my photos in different albums but cannot figure out how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.

HI. I see you basically want to create different folders for you photos to store pictures. dabubbakin is correct. One way to do it is to hook your phone to your computer to create the folders. Another way would be do download an application in the application market that will allow you to create folders. One of those applications is Astro File Manager.
Please let me know if this worked for you.
Thanks!

How to sort photo albums by face on the new iPad?

I noticed at my friends house that he in his photo albums had a face album already built in, I have the same iPad as him but can't figure out how to get it! Someone help plz?

Faces is a way to categorize photos in iPhoto on Mac computers. It is a "built in" album in that application. Unless you have a Mac and you use iPhoto from which you sync your photos, Faces does not appear in the photo app.
I have no experience with the iOS version of iPhoto, and maybe that allows that functionality, but you would have to check that out for yourself.

I click on a picture in my photo album and a different photo comes up how can I sort the problem out?

In my photo album when I click on a photo, a different photo comes up and not the one I click on, is their some way I can solve this problem and make the original photo come up instead of a different one?

Is this with iPhoto on your iPhone or iPhoto on your Mac?

On Facebook, how can I share another person's photo album to my iPad? It shows up on my Android phone and on my computer, but not on my iPad.

My son posted an album on Facebook; he took the pictures with a regular camera. I shared the album and it immediately showed up on my All-in-One computer and on my Droid phone on my Facebook timeline. It has never appeared on the iPad, so all my friends with iPads are not seeing this photo album. Do yoiu have any idea why?
Thanks, Naomi

I have discovered the same problem. The timeline or group that the album is loaded directly to one can see the album and photos. However my habit has been to us my group as archive and then share the album with other groups saving me uploading several times. If I look at on my desktop I and others like you see the shared album and friends with droid FB apo also see but ones with iOS FB app do not see the shared album be it on a friend/family member timeline another group. I do not think this used to be, if almost seems that recent updates of the applicaion for iOS led to this problem but I am not certain. This is a big issue as I do not have time to upload and describe the same photos on the two to three other groups I share with. I share your frustration, and there seem to be other things I do not see maybe it is all the shared photos/albums vs ones put on a timeline or group. Not acceptable...

HT1386 I am unable to synch photo albums from ipad 3 to itunes on my windows pc. In addition to camera roll and ipod cache albums, i have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!

Dear Community members,
I am unable to synch photo albums from iPad 3 to iTunes on my Windows 7 pc.
In addition to Camera roll and iPod cache default albums, I have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. Eg - Family pix in a folder, Office pix in another, Plant pixs in another, House architecture pix in another.......all also exist in the camera roll.
I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!
I have ios5 on Ipad 3 and the latest Itunes on Windows PC.
As a precaution, I have used the windows "add pictures from...." to keep a copy in a separate folder in the windows desktop, but again it has all the pics mixed up together and not sorted as per the various albums in the ipad!
How to replicate the albums in the windows PC???
Regards
Sohal NS

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
