How do I sort iPhoto files by size?

Dear TD,
(I like another person's reference to iTunes)
My problem is that in moving a large number of photos from iPhoto to a thumb drive, on inspecting the latter I found many to be size 4K with no openable content. This is a waste of resources. It would have been very convenient to have been able to sort within iPhoto.
I solved the problem by sorting the files on the thumb drive, getting rid of the size 4K files, deleting the album on iPhoto, and reloading them to a new album in iPhoto -- a lot of trouble, and nervous-making when moving around so many cherished photos. (Of course... I have backups.)
Also, since I haven't posted to the forums (fora?) in a while, the description of my gear doesn't reflect that I'm now using Yosemite. Nice upgrade!

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

I have the same problem.
I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.

How do I sort by file type?

I was wondering how I can sort by file type? I have a bunch of .moi and .mod files in a directory and want yo delete the .moi files. If I could sort by type, then it would just be a matter of highlighting those and deleting. I tried sorting by kind, but since they are seen as Unix Executable files by the OS, it sorts them but not by .moi or .mod. Thanks in advance for your help.
MAC OS 10.6.8

I don't believe you can sort by extension. However, what you can do is to type .moi into the search field at the top of the Finder window where you see those files. That will initially show all .moi files on your entire computer. At the top of the displayed search results will the the text "Search:" followed by three choices. "This Mac" should be selected, but the name of the folder you were looking in will be the second choice... click that one. That will cause the search results to contain only files from that folder, containing the text ".moi", which should be the ones you're interested in deleting.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.

You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

How can I sort all files and folders by size?

Due to lack of space I need to find the biggest files and folders on my Mac OSX Mountain Lion, but "Size" is not in the Find options.
And I don't know the wildcard to sort all files and folders by size in Easyfind.
Thanks

There are applications out there which are designed to show you files and the space they use. Some of these applications and some strategies for making more room on your disk are given below.

How can I transfer iPhoto files from one admin user to another on the same Mac?

You want to share the Library?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How can I sort by file size in smart folders?

The Apple info says use pop-up menus to select search criteria, but where is that? I wish to have the folder show all documents bigger than a certain size (ie. video) appear in the folder. My next question, is can I then drag to the Trash from that folder and know that they're deleted from their original location. I assume appearing in a smart folder is like an alias, its not reall copied to this new location.
Thanks!

From <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8923.html>
To change the criteria for a Smart Folder:
Open the Smart Folder.
Either begin typing in the Smart Folder’s search field, or open the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Show Search Criteria.
(My stress.)

Use size as a search criterion.

Yes.

Correct, but certain actions (such as trashing) are applied to the actual file.

How can I sort my photos by size? I need to get rid of those which are too small to print.

Is there a way to sort individual photos in iphoto by size. (I know you can sort photos in finder- picture by size, but mine are in iphoto). I am organizing my thousands of photos into files within iphoto in order to print hundreds. I am finding that many are too small to ever print (20-30kb) , and would like to delete those en masse rather than waste time sorting them, but cannot find a way to do that. Does anyone know if there is a way? It would be a terribly useful function. Also, sorting by size would enable you to resize photos that take massage amounts of room unneccesarily. Thanks for any info.

No there is no way to do this.
Also, sorting by size would enable you to resize photos that take massage amounts of room unneccesarily.
No it wouldn't. There's no way to change the filesize in iPhoto, it always preserves the original file.

How do I access iPhoto files from other programs (i.e. PhotoShop Elements)

From within many programs, specifically PhotoShop Elements or Adobe Bridge tonight, I navigate to "iPhoto Library" and can not access the files within the library to use in these programs. I can get there from within Finder, just not other programs. This is extremely frustrating...can someone please help?

Of course - it is a database and you must use the correct access methods
and for a photo editor like PSE you also need to explain what you are trying to do
IF -- you want to edit photos within the iPhoto library then simply set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit and save (not save as) and the database is automatically updated -- if you want to choose iPhoto or PSE as the editor then after setting PSE as the external editor set the external editor back to in main window and now normal editing will be in iPhoto but by right clicking on a photo in iPhoto you get a menu allowing you to use PSE for it
IF - you are generally asking and want the general answer - all open (or attach) dialogue windows have the media browser in the lower left - look under media ==>pictures ==> iPhoto but if you use this method you can not just return photos to iPhoto - you must save as and then import into iPhoto

How can I store iPhoto files on an external hard drive rather than on the iMac drive

How can I store my iPhoto library on an external hard drive rather than the iMac drive to make my computer faster?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to change the iPhoto Photo Book Size Measurement?

Hi guys,
I am annoyed that when I create my book in iPhoto Book, the measurement is in CM and in Malaysia, all the Book Printer is measured in Inches... I have tried changing the setting but to no avail.
Kindly help...
Thanks a lot...

It is easy - open the book and click on themes and select the new size - it is best to dupicate the book first incase something goes wrong
And preview carefully before ordering -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
It is possible that text can change around and be unacceptable

Sorting iPhoto Contents by Type?? (ie - How to find all my AVIs)

I am having trouble finding AVI movies I imported with all of my photos from my digital camera. Can somebody tell me how to sort out just the AVI files? I searched for "avi," but only one recent movie I downloaded came up, and I have a whole bunch of them in there somewhere.
I wish there was a feature to sort iPhoto files "by type."
Thanks
Jay
