How can I stop my iPad from mixing up the order of photos when I sync from my PC?

Hi-
I have a 1st generation iPad. I have noticed that when I sync photos from my PC (Windows 7) to the iPad (using iTunes) that the pics do not end up in the same order on the iPad that I had them arranged on my PC. Mostly this is not too much of a problem. But recently, I have a batch of photos that really need to be in a particular order. I spent a lot of time on my PC naming them in such a way that they'd STAY in the order I desire. There are about 185 of them, so this took a lot of work! How can I keep them in the order I want when I sync to the iPad?
Thanks for your help-
Betsy

Hi again-
Just as a final follow-up on this topic, I have been able to change the "date taken" property of each photo file without downloading any extra software. In the Windows Explorer, all I have to do is select the file and then I can edit the date in the properties pane at the bottom of the window. Since I have to change each file to a unique date so that I can control their order on the iPad, I have to do this all by hand anyway, so I did not spend much time looking for a software to do it.
Just in case this might help someone else, I thought I'd post it.

You should disable FaceTime on your iPad: Settings > FaceTime > swipe FaceTime to OFF or sign out of FaceTime with your Apple ID.

Thanks for trying those steps out!
Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.

My MS outlook on the PC is sending two invites in the icloud calandar. How can I stop this? I ony want the email send with my email address not the apple email.

My phone is the 4. Not the 4s. And I went there but it's nowhere the option to delete from server.
I only see: ask before deleting and it's on.

You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

Ical synch: how can i stop deleting ical items and synch the rest?

When synching on itunes, it asks to delete 9000+ items from ical, add and modify are 50 or so each, and I'm very confused why this is happening.
How can i stop this and synch the rest? I do not want to delete anything but it doesn't seem to have option other than synch later.
I have icloud calendars synch on as well...
Thanks!!

Bruno,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you using any sync software?
The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

How can I stop my iPad deleting gmails from their servers?

I have an iMac and Mail with which I have happily been downloading mail from some gmail accounts. I have the setting "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" unchecekd so, as I want, downloaded messages remain available on the gmail servers.
However, now I have an iPad, I find that when that downloads an email from gmail, it deletes the server copy - which I do not want.
But I can't find any setting on the iPad where I can stop this happening!
The only work-round I can think of is to stop downloading gmails to my iPad, which rather defeats the purpose of having a mobile device!
How can I ensure that copies remain on gmails servers unles and until I deliberately delete them?
Thanks.

Thanks, Diavonex, but that is already On and my iPad panel looks just like yours. Is it possible that what I think is deletion is in fact merely the gmails moving somewhere else that I have yet to discover?
I have been thinking about this, and I may be able to add more information which might help with a diagnosis.
The accounts affected are IMAP accounts. Now I confess here that I have no real idea what IMAP/POP accounts are, but it may be relevant.
Also, on the iMac most if not all gmail emails get passed directly into user defined folders using Mail's Rules, so virtually none remain in my inbox. Nor, for that matter, do I ever delete gmail emails off the iMac unless they are clearly junk.
On the iPad, however, things are different.
I do not use the iPad as my main device, and I use the emails received thereon for general review only, any real responses or work arising is done later back on the iMac.
So, when I have read emails on the iPad, unless they require action before I get back home to the iMac, I tend to read - and then delete them. They move to the iPad's Trash where they remain until I decide to have a purge of old deleted emails and then delete them from Trash.
Could that be what is happening? Is the act of deleting them off the iPad, either into Trash or later from Trash itself, be the cause of them being deleted from the gmail servers?
Would setting Rules on the iPad (if indeed that is possible) so that gmails go direct into a folder other than my In-Box be a possible solution?
A solution would also be, I suppose, not to download gmails to the iPad, but that would defeat the object of having a tablet, even though I use it more for information rather then action!

How can I separate 2 ipads which are on the same account?

I have an ipad and my husband also recently bought one. Unfortunately my son set my husband's ipad up on the same account as mine so we now have exactly the same music and photos on both plus my Gmail account is sending the messages to both. How can I separate these now but still carry on using the same laptop?

You will have to transfer the ringtones from the phone that has them to your iTunes library.
File>Transfer Purchases.
Then you can sync them to the other phone.

How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
Thanks for your comments.

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup; how can i get all my imessages back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud?

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup from a week ago. everything restored fine, but it only brought back my imessages up to the backup date (a week ago); but all the messages up to today are on my mac messages app on my macbook air; how can i get them all back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud automatically if its still available on my mac? Thanks for any help!

iCloud doesn't sync iMessages. They are sent from the iMessage server to your devices, not synced between devices. I don't think you'll be able to get these messages back on your phone, but you should be receiving any new messages.

How can I reset my iPad that I forgot the password to my linked account.

My iPad is linked to an old gmail account of mine that I believe has been hacked. I have tried everything to
reset my gmail password and it hasn't worked. I think someone changed all of my information. I have
tried to reset my iPad by holding down the home button and power button and connecting to iTunes. I
did the restore but now it is saying "This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID
that was used to set up this iPad." It provides me with the Apple ID: m*****@gmail.com and wants me
to enter the password but I don't know the password and have tried everything to retrieve it. There's nothing
on the iPad so I don't care about erasing any data. How can I reset the iPad so that I can use it? Is there
another method besides the one I have already tried?

If your iPad is running iOS 7, there is no way you're going to be able to regain access to your iPad without the password for the Apple ID used by that iPad. You cannot even restore the iPad to factory settings without the password. This is an anti-theft feature.
You will need to contact Apple and try to regain control of your Apple ID. It is entirely possible, however, for the hacker to make changes to your Apple ID that would make it difficult or impossible to do that. You need to act as quickly as possible!

I don't want the 'chat' option. how can I disable it? I often get the message that I am being disconnected from chat because i've logged on from another computer. I never use chat, and it just seems to be a problem. How can I get rid of it?

Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness.
