Help, how do I get iPad Photos to sort the way I want?

I'm at wits end!
After a week of constant sync/re-sync/re-name-stripping out all EXIF data, I'm still at the mercy of some random sort order for some of my photos.
I have read: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 - which seems to indicate that it reads the EXIF data first. I have stripped all EXIF data from all my photos in hopes that it will resort to alphabetical order of the file-names. But it doesn't seem to do so - it seems to still rely on last modified date of the file itself. Short of copying individually hundreds of photos over in the order that I want - I don't know what to do. Additionally, through trial and error, it seems that it doesn't recognize differences in timestamp in the seconds, only minutes - ARGH!! Is anyone else having such a hard time to get the iPad to sort the photos by filename in an order that I specify?
I am not on Mac and cannot use iPhoto to sort, so I am on the PC side and order my photos using ACDSee and batch rename them so that they are alphabetically correct.
Please, its essential that they are grouped in my order, but I can't for the last week coax my iPad to display in alphabetical filename order (it seems simple enough?!) I'm so frustrated!!
Please help.

I do not understand what you mean by a problem with downsizing large image, the images I have dragged over are exactly the same size as on my home computer, I can see it may cause the IPad problems if you are trying to transfer 50 mb tiff files or something similar, it really is not designed for that type of image.
My workflow is as follows, I work up my raw files and save a copy as a tiff for printed output, for web or iPad use I make an approx 2 Mb jpeg file.
I make a folder with an appropriate title, insert the required images, the images are sorted either by the original camera file numbering or if I want items in a particular order I will start a number 1 and continue, Airsharing will respect your ordering sequence, so number 1 will always be number 1.
As a viewer Air Sharing in my opinion is better than the photo app because it leaves your images in the order you have set, to view an image you open the folder click on number 1 or whatever is your 1st image, that
opens full screen, you have the choice of moving through the folder singly by clicking the arrow head at the bottom right/left of the screen or a slide show by clicking the centre arrow head, you set the time on screen etc.
If you put the same selection of images on the iPad via the Photo app it would number your images in a way you have little control over and will even optimise your image even if you do not want it to !
The Airsharing library is seperate from the photo library, you can move images to the photo library but why would you want to do that ? All your image sorting is done on your computer prior to the transfer, surely you do not want an app making decisions on you behalf ?
To me it is a perfect portfolio app because I make all the decisions about file size, sequence of images how I want to display them, singly or as a slideshow I am in control not Apple.

  • How can I isolate iPad apps so only the ones I want people to use are visible to them?

    Hello. How can I isolate iPad apps so only the ones I want people to use are visible to them?

    At the moment it's not possible, but you could try providing feedback to Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (this has come up a few times so you won't be the first person to request it).
    An alternative if you only want your customers to have access to only one app, is to look for cases that prevent access to the home button so that they can't get access to the home screen and therefore other apps. e.g. http://www.staypad.com/photos.html is a mounted case for use on walls/tables etc (there are probably others available, that is just the first one that my search found).

    I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • How do I get my photo's from the iCloud to my computer?

    how do I get my photo's from icloud to my computer?

    If you mean on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, check Photos, then click Options and check My Photo Stream.  This requires iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher, or Aperture 3.2.3 or higher.  Depending on your version, you may also have the option to enable photo sharing.
    If you want photo stream photos to be automatically imported to your events, open iPhoto and go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import under My Photo Stream.
    (Note: when you first enable photo stream, you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days.  To stream older photos, you will have to add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.)

  • How do I get my photos back from the cloud

    How can I get my photo's back from I cloud

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup, upgrading the iOS, or using the wrong itunes for syncing (which is your situation).  If you haven't synced them to YOUR computer, then they are gone (unless you have backups to icloud turned on - but that isn't completely reliable; many users have lost their photos doing a restore from an icloud backup).
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

  • HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

    I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

    Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

  • How Do I Get My Old Version Back "The Way It Was"

    FF updated itself and was shocked at the absolutely awful, terrible, horrible changes that have been made. I learnt a lesson, dont ever tic auto update.
    I want to go back to my Old Version, just the way it was. Tried a system restore and it made things worse, Ive lost all my bookmarks. How do I get back to my original configuration?
    I posted another comment but the "Thought Police" are out in force, you mustn't be seen to be criticizing the, New, Shiny, better than ever, version. Which in my humble opinion goes against the principles that the "Old FireFox" was based on.
    If there isnt a way to get the old firefox back, bookmarks and all, are there any other browsers (Non Mozilla, Google, Microsoft) out there that are worth changing to?

    Pale Moon is firefox in a different set of cloths
    If the old firefox is no longer supported or is totally insecure as you allege, I was looking for a recommendations for "New" browser which doesnt belong to the "Corporate Mainstream"
    And as for the Thought Police just check home many post have been closed when they criticise the ChromeFox

  • How do you get your I pad to the way it was before update

    How do you get I pad to the way it was before the new update. The new update *****.

    You don't. This is the new iOS that you are running, and it cannot be downgraded.
    Why don't you give it some time. Play around with the settings to see if you can get the look and feel more to your liking. Play with the new features. And don't forget, that with the enhanced security, if you are using iCloud and Find My iPhone, your device is far less attactive to would-be thieves. It cannot be reset to factory settings without turning off Find My iPhone, and only you know what the password required to do that is....
    If you have specific things that you would like to see changed or improved, send feedback to Apple:

  • When I sync music to iPod how ca I get it to sync in the order I want the playlist verse the radom rder it keeps putting it in?

    When syncing music why will it not sync in the order I want the playlist instead of this random way it puts it on the ipod?

    this worked for me on my iphone and ipad
    make sure that all your software is up to date
    turn phone on airplane mode
    uncheck all music
    sync
    this will erase all music on your phone
    recheck music you want from your libary
    apply

  • How can I get my photos back in the right order?

    I recently reset my iPhone 4s, having backed it up.  When I re-synced it my photos were all in the wrong order, they seem to be displayed in some random order.  For example, four photos that I took one after the other are now scattered among other photos.  I would like to have them in date order, but can't seem to do this.  I know I have to do it on my computer first, and am running Windows 7.
    Can anyone help?  All I want is my photos back as they were before I reset the phone.

    Thank you.  I had actually done that, and then could not re- sync my iPhone.  It connects to iTunes and is recognised, but does not sync, although the bar at the top sys it is synching , and goes through the process very quickly.  But in the end I still have my photos in the old order on the iPhone, and no music at all!

  • How can I get my photos to save the GPS location for iPhoto?

If i antique them then they print yellowish. Ive even tried printing them at walgreens because i thought it was my new printer. Hp hasnt let me doown til now. Is ot a printer setting? Ive never had this kind of printing issue.

  • How do I get missing photos back into the Organizer?

    Just a few days ago I had about twelve folders of photos in my Organizer. Now I have only two folders that have content. When I click on the other ten folders I see this message in the Media Browser, "No media to be displayed."
    I have both Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop 11 which I got three weeks ago. The only thing new on my computer is the software that came with my Nikon camera - NX2 - a photo storage and photo editing program. My photos are still in my Windows Pictures program.

    You must have moved files outside of Organizer using Explorer or Finder.
    Try using File >> Reconnect >> All Missing Files
    otherwise use
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Then navigate to the new location.
