How do you get Slideshow in the Finder to NOT randomize the order?

This has been bugging me for a very long time. Does anyone know how to stop the Slideshow feature from randomizing the order of the photos?
As an aside, why is this the default behavior in the first place?

Oddly enough my sis-in-law called me last night wanting to know how do a slideshow on a Mac (she is normally on her Windows machine, but since my brother is currently in Bangkok she was using his Mac and couldn't ask him). I explained the Finder method, including the "random" problem, and also how to use Preview to do the show (and to sort them in Preview to change the order--control click in the drawer displaying the thumbs and then choose the sort method). One thing she would like to do that I don't know how to accomplish is to have the name of the pix display while the show is running. You can choose that if you make the slideshow in iPhoto, but evidently not in the Finder or Preview.

  • I want my songs to be in a specific order but they transfered to the ipod in a different order. it looks as if they are in alphabetical order by artist. how can I get them in the order I want?

    Hey ellenkk
    The best way to get the songs in the order that you want is to make a playlist and then sync it over. Once the playlist is set, all you have to do is set to sync playlist in the music tab.

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.
