How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230. Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox--- In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine, but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even when I close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order. This is driving my crazy because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

How can I get iPhoto to see the edited iPhone 4s photo?

I have a new iPhone 4s. I take a picture. I edit it and save it to the iPhone. Then, I sync my phone with my Mac, open iPhoto. Only the original photos appear, not the one I edited and saved. Yet, if I e-mail the photo to myself, I can see the edited version. So, how do I get iPhoto to see the edited version.

8 MP is the resolution of the camera sensor. Images are compressed when stored so quite a bit smaller. The compression ratio depends on the level of detail in the image.

How do I get Lion to preserve the folder view I select?

I like to have different folders set up different ways. Some I always want arranged by name in icon view. Some I want arranged by date created or date modified. Others I want to see a list view. In Snow Leopard I could set the view once and then each time I opened the folder again I got the same view. With Lion I seem to get a random arrangement each time I close and re-open a folder. It is really infuriating. Is ther any way to get the folder view settings to stick?

How do I get Muse to remember the last directory when accessing files?

When I use Muse, I can't get it to remember the last directory or folder I used to access site assets. Every time I go back to access another image or document, explorer has me navigate from the "My Documents" folder to my project folder instead of remembering the last folder I accessed for that Site Project (like most software does).
How do I set Muse to remember my project's folder within a session instead of having me navigate through the My Documents folder back to the project folder every time I want to access a new asset.
Thanks.

How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked

I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?
I generally find pop ups annoying, but sometimes they are necessary to use certain websites properly. Now I can't get the information bar to come back when a pop up is blocked. How do I get it back?
== Operating system ==
Windows XP

You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How can I get a refund at the App Store when it isn't offered ?

Perhaps the Apple attack dogs will like this post better.
How do I get a refund for a costly app that, after requesting a refund, appears to not offer one? How does one know if an app meets one's needs unless you try it first?
This seems so obvious, and yet, I am shocked that Apple does not offer a trial or refund opportunity if even for 24-48 hours.
Is there another way to get a refund that I'm not aware of?

I repeat, the Apple policy is that all sales are final and after an app has been bought and downloaded, there are no refunds. Period.
The ONLY exception to the No Refund policy is if something freaky happens and you buy an app and between your purchase and attempt to download the app it is removed from the iTunes/MAS and is no longer available.

For details of how purchases are billed please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582.
Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download the product. We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable.

If you have found a developer whose product you have purchased through the iTunes/MAS who will personally give you a refund, more power to you. That is beyond the scope of Apple's policy and between you and the developer only.
It's time to stop beating a dead horse and move along.

How do you get photo slideshows in the right order on Ipod Video

When I download my photos from my computer (Windows XP) they do not come out in the right order on my Ipod. How do I get my photos to come out in the same order as I have them on my computer? In My Pictures on Windows I arrange icons by date taken and this is how I want them on Ipod.
Hope some genius can help me.

How can I get iPhoto to NOT automatically import photos when I plug in my phone?

I use iPhoto to do quick, simple touch-ups to my pictures, but when I am in the middle of editing and plug in my phone just to charge, it automatically begins a new import and takes me away from my work, which is beyond annoying. If I want to import my cell phone pictures, I am savvy enough with the program to do it manually when I want to. I have tried navigating 'Preferences' and there appears to be no way to change this, which is a poorly missed feature. Help?

iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
is the route to the developers for feature requests.

How do I get Snowleopard to keep the computer awake when busy?

I'd like the computer to disregard the powersave options when files are being moved from one location to another, a movie is playing, and during any other task in for which interruption isn't preferable.

You can set up your preferences by going to System Preferences ->
1) open Desktop & Screensaver: temporarily set Screensaver to "Never", and
2) open Energy Saver and temporarily set both computer sleep and display sleep to "Never".
You can later change those back to your original settings.

How do you get your photos in the right order?

On screen, the photos are in the correct order. I have named them in numerical order i.e. trip1, trip 2, etc.. But when I run a slideshow or put them on a CD/DVD they are all out of order. Any ideas?

How can i get iphoto to show the albums i have so i can download just one album

I recently have gotten a macbook and i need to free up some space on my iphone. I have an album that i would like to import without importing my camera roll. How do i do that?

When you connect your iPhone to your MacBook you can import selectively from your Phone. Are you using iPhoto on your Mac? iPhotodoes not see the albums on your phone, but when you select the phone in iPhoto's source list and see the images in the Camera Roll, select the ones you want and then click the "Import selected" button.
