How can I sort photos by file name on my IPAD?
I have sorted all my photos by filename (on a windows PC). After downloading the photos to my IPAD they are sorted by shooting date. This is for sure not what I wanted. Does anybody know how I can solve this (sort my photos on filename!)? Thanks.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 :
If you are using Windows, or are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, you must change the Date Taken of photos to change their sorting on your device. Third-party photo-management software may be able to do this.

How can I sort photos by file name in Photos?
New Photos seems to be very limiting, even compared to iPhoto. How can I sort photos by filename? Many photos that worked in iPhoto, can't be viewed in Photos.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Titles don't use the filename any longer, but if you must have them you might be interested in Léonie's script here.

HOW DO I IMPORT PHOTOS BY FILE NAME TO THE IPAD 2
I need to organize my photos in my ipad by the file names that i have on my computer. I use a windows computer.
Anyone have any suggestions?See this article:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
(the title says iPod, but it should work for iPad as well)
You need first to connect your iPad to your PC for the sync options to be available:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."

How can I change a video file name on the ipad only?
I'm filming videos on an SD card and then downloading them onto my ipad. I need to change the File names from generic to personal names for email purpose. Is there a way to change the file name only on the ipad? Maybe a specific App or something? Im trying not to use iTunes on the main PC. Thank You
Click the gear button on the clip and select Cropping & Rotation.
There are rotation buttons at the top of the viewer. -
PE9 - sort photos by file name?
PE9 - how can I sort photos by file name so I can drag and drop into the timeline?
Date is all I want to sort by, so for me it is a better way than filename. Originally they were sorted by name on iOS devices (up to iOS 3.1.3), but Apple must have decided (possibly via feedback) that capture date was a better way. You can always try leaving feedback and maybe in the future there will be a choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to sort them in a different order then you can do so if you use a Mac and transfer the photos via iPhoto or Aperture. Otherwise you can either manipulate their capture dates prior to syncing so that they are in the order you want (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221), or there are third-party apps in the iTunes App Store that apparently allow sorting e.g. Photo-Sort for iPad or Sort Shorts iPad Edition -
How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?
How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?
iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

iPhoto: How can I sort photos within an event. I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.
Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album -
How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.
Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool. -

How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
For example: DSC_0022.jpgHello,
Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.

2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg Comment: (2008) Genre: Action... <- copy comment
In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v Comment: <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
picname=${f##*/}
movname=${picname%.*}.m4v
if [ -e "$MovDir"/$movname ]; then
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment "\"$comment\"" "$MovDir"/$movname

How can I upload photos from my USB to my ipad
How can I transfer photos from my computer to my ipad?
There are several ways.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad? When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
Help appreciated
DavidI've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.
