Frustrated and seeking help with a custom sort order...

I created a family photo album and arranged all of the pictures in a specific order and sync'd them with my iPad, unfortunately the pictures do not stay in the custom sequence.
I tried Batch renaming with a Custom Name and Index, but the renaming is applied to the pictures based on the date they were created and not by the way I have arranged them.
Is there a solution to my problem?
TIA

I flagged fifty photos and from that selection I created an album. I went to the album and dragged the photos in to the order I wanted them to appear after selecting Manual. Each time I now choose the manual option it arranges the photos into the sequence I created.
The problem I'm having is that when I synchronize my iPad with iTunes the photos revert back to their original sort order, which is the default date they were brought in to Aperture.
As I said, I tried to give them new names and index numbers using a batch command AFTER I arranged them manually, which works, however the names are assigned to the photos sequentially starting with oldest photos and not to photos as I have arranged them.
Honestly, it would be easier for me to create a slideshow using the timeline in FCP, but a video is not what I'm after.
I hope I have answered your questions.
TIA

Frustrated and Need Help with AE after new router installed

My AE worked fine on a previous router that ran through a modem. I now have a 2 Wire Modem-Router combo and cannot get my computer to recognize it. I am running Windows XP. I have plugged the AE base station directly into the router and configured it but, as soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable, it stops working. I have tried to join a wireless network in client mode but my computer, since it does not have a wireless card only a router, cannot see the base station. Which way do I go? Do I setup the base station while connected by ethernet cable or do I try to setup in client mode wirelessly? If while connected by ethernet, what settings? My routers is DHCP and does have a password associated with it?

Terrible customer service, and no help with defective camera

Madams and Sirs,
This camera (see below) was a Christmas present, and we discovered first last week that it had a manufacturing defect. (one of the small tabs holding the case half together got installed in a pinched way.)
Best Buy has always had fantastic customer service, and we have been very happy. We have spend many thousand dollars in your store every year. So we were sure the store would have a solution.
We took it in to your store #1423 on Curtner in San Jose to try to exchange or replace under warranty.
I understand you sometimes you are not able to help a customer, but this email is first about the shock I got when I spoke with Megan in customer service.
As many customers in Silicon Valley, I am an engineering manager, and we have performed destructive testing on many of our own products. The defect on this camera is obviously a manufacturing defect, and not possible to be caused by poor handling. This is very obvious.
Megan told me with other employees as well as my son listening next to me that I was a liar, and that the damage was caused by abuse, and not a defect. I tried to explain that was not possible, and she interrupted me, and again said that i was not telling the truth, and that the assembly error was caused by us.
I then asked if it was possible to have the matter reviewed by the store manager, and she responded she was the store manager.
I left with the camera, and the matter unresolved, and had to explain to my son that I was not a liar, and that Megan must be wrong and "some people just have a bad day sometimes".
I will not be spoken to with insults like that, and I can no longer go to your store with my kids, and if my employees treated any customer the way Megan did, I would make sure she received training to correct this. If the store manager have this attitude to customers, the entire organisation usually follows, and I will not be a customer in a store like that.
1. Please help resolve this issue.Order number: {removed per forum guidelines}

Hello erikev,
Cameras are nice to have, especially with young children, so I can imagine how frustrating it can be to find yourself with a pinched casing. When something goes wrong, it’s never a fun situation, and while it may not be something we can necessarily help with, great customer service should still be provided. It sounds like this didn’t happen the way we hoped, and I’m sorry this was at your expense.
As this situation is definitely concerning, I looked into your account to see how I might be able to assist. However, I have found your concerns have reached Terrance with our executive support team. He is currently looking into your situation and should contact you once more information is available. From here, Terrance will be your first point of contact.
Hopefully he can find a good resolution for you,

I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help."

I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." Do you know what is going on here--what this problem could be? (I do have the latest Firefox version already installed. I have previously received Firefox error messages that say "Firefox Update Failed." However, I already had the latest Firefox version installed when I received those error messages.)

Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
(That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

I got this message:" Software Update Update failed Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." What on earth is this about? I am not computer savy.

LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers
AJ

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

PLAYLIST PROBLEM: I did a playlist and after synchonising with my ipod, the order of the songs changed both in itunes and in the ipod. In itunes the order came alphabetically and in ipod randomly. I wanted that playlist for a party. HELP! THX

Thank you very much

Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.
PowerBook G4 1.67 2GB RAM 128MB ATI Video, External FW Drives for library Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ou must have an older iPod.
I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

Lightroom Mobile does not recognise my custom sort order

I cannot find a way to get the Lightroom Mobile app on my iPad to recognise the custom sort order set up for the collection on my desktop. I am on the current versions of both Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. The only sort option that appears in LR mobile is by capture time. The custom sort order is available as an option for the collection on the Abobe website but not on the mobile app.

You can change the sort type when you touch the Capture Type-label. So tab on the "Capture Time"-label and you will see the other sort options like "Modified Date", "Custom Order" etc.
Hope that helps.

Custom Sort Order (Re-ordering)?

I understand I can't drag and drop in smart collections or in folders with sub-folders. But I should be able to re-order photos in a normal collection by dragging and dropping. This feature has stopped working. Any ideas? Thank you (LR 4.1 with Windows 7, 64 bit)

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.

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.

Custom sort order right after import

right after an import I start culling and basic editing. From here I will rename, keyword, and proof, than I file the images in the appropriate folder. But before renaming and proofing I may need to change the order of images.
LR does not allow you to change the order of images right after an import unless you have filed the images to a new folder..... Well I need to sort before filing.
Hope this can be done. I think it is simple enough.

Changing customer contact information and seeking help from customer care centre

Over the past few days I have tried to change my email contact address for CC. Have made the change and pressed the button to have a verification email sent. Nothing gets to me. The account works and nothing is showing up even in my junk box. Have then tried to contact the Customer Care Centre... What product? Adobe Creative Cloud. What topic do you need help with? > Sorry. No data available for this product at this time. Catch 22. One might be tempted to say "typical". Not that tempted yet.

Hi Kelli,
It was wonderful of your mother to purchase a Samsung Smart TV for you and I hope that you had a wonderful trip! It is truly disheartening to hear of the damage you state you found when you returned from your trip out of the country.
Per our Return & Exchange Promise and assuming your mother falls under the standard 15 day return and exchange period, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to exchange this TV due to it being beyond the 15 day timeframe, but also as damaged items are considered nonreturnable. I apologize if this news causes you any dismay.
With that said, if your mother should like to reach out as she is the original purchaser, I would be delighted to discuss this further with her. She may either register with the forum to either send me a private message or by sending an email to [email protected] with "Attn: Tasha" in the subject to ensure it reaches me in a timely manner.
Respectfully,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .
