How do you keep iPhotos in order when burning to a DVD?

I'm trying to back up some of my iPhoto albums on to DVDs. Specifically, I have 200 photos that I want to burn on to a DVD and give someone. I've tried Share-Burn but the result is a random assortment of the album's photos or, in another case, iPhotos are sorted by year. Do you have to make a slideshow or a movie to keep the iphotos in a sequence that one wants? I'm using iPhotot 11 on Mac OS X, version 10.6.7.

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Select the pics in the iPhoto Window
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.
Burn that Folder to Disk using the Finder.
Disk burned with the Share->Burn command are designd to be accessed via iPhoto, not the FInder.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

How do you keep film roll data when exporting?

I'm moving to a newer computer and wanted to transfer my large library to the new setup. I have film rolls organized with original photo dates, but when I import the library in the new iPhoto setup from a hard drive all the dates change to the day I originally imported them by scanning, not the dates of the photos themselves. How can I keep all the film roll data I worked hard on to organize the photos?

I hope that someone comes along soon to tell you a better way, but in the meantime, here is what I do when I need to reset the date.
Open an event and click on one of the photos. Select the 'Photos' pull-down menu and choose 'Batch Change'. This allows you to change the date for all of the photos in the event.
I decided it was too much work to do batch change dates when I moved my photos to iPhoto four years ago so I keep most of pre-DSLR photos in a Picture file outside of iPhoto. Inconvenient at times, but I don't need to access older photos all that often. When I do, I just pull a folder of photos into iPhoto and batch change the date then.
I am sure there must be an easier way; I just stumbled onto this accidentally.

How do you keep attachments from rotating when they come in on the side

You keep attachments on your email from rotating when they come in sideways

You can't of the PDF or the file was oriented that way. You can lock the screen orientation and turn the iPad the other way - landscape or portrait - but you can't change the orientation of the file in the mail app.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How do you lose a pre-order when I have a receipt for the transaction?!?!?

I have a receipt for 9/15 in the store for an iphone 6 pre-order. Now yesterday when I call to check my status no one has any record of this transaction. The only explanation I'm getting is it was a system glitch and I have to order again. I waited a month already!?!? Can someone at Verizon not find a solution to this and get me a phone even if I'm upgraded to one better. This is either Apple or Verizon's system failures not mine.

The store never shows it existed. Theie only solution was to re-order, or yesterday they had a 128GB. All they would do was waive the $30 upgrade/activation fee. They would not negotiate or give me the 128GB in place of my 64GB. I placed a new order yesterday still unsatisfied with the result, mainly because I refuse to delay a successful order any longer.
I spoke with support last night after I was still mad about the whole situation. My order confirmation number, which they finally ended up finding in a seperate system shows under a different account. They "supposedly" verified with fraud that it wasn't fraudulently altered. Apparently once they are submitted they can't be changed? She ended up calling the store manager who seemed more interested in refunding fraudulent charges than finding out the process, IT system problems that happened. I visited the store today after the rep spoke with him last night. He still downplayed the issue but did offer to put me on an esclation list and work with me on the price. Surprisingly the 128GB phone isn't there today. This is obviously an validation problem between Apple and Verizon. The store manager says that the confirmation number is Apple generated when the submission takes place. I am in the process of contacting Apple too to assist in resolving this so I have a phone ASAP, not another 2 weeks.

How do you download your pre-order when it's not letting you ?

How do you keep photos in order that they are in on PC?

Ho do I make sure the order of my photos on my iPad match the same order in my PC folders ?
Ipad - ios 6.1.3
PC - Windows 7
iPad, 4th Generation

The iPad defaults to putting things in 'event order'....as in date order.
The only way I know of would be to get a program that edits the properties of your files and edit the 'save' date to either put them in order, or one thing I did was make all the files the exact same date and time, then it defaulted to name order.
Or look for a different photos app that has better functionality than the built in one.

How do you fix "Unknown error [4310]" when burning CD's from iTunes??

When I try to burn an audio CD (CD-R) from itunes, it cancells the burning after the first song. It gives a message that says-
Attempt to burn disc failed. Unknown error occured [4310]. Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
premio Windows XP Pro pentium 4; 1.6 mhz

That particular error, 4310, has no hits in the search I did.
Can you burn with any other program?
You might have better luck in the Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows forums

There are some clever people over there that are familiar with more burning hardware than I am.

How can I change the song order when burning a CD?

I'm trying to burn about 20 songs to a CD. However they are in alphabetical order in the burn folder which I don't want. I want then in the original order they were performed. How do I re-order them before burning?
A related question: eventually I will add them to iTunes and I'll want to add info such as the artist's name, album name, etc (these were recorded live by me so they're "blank" audio files). Is there a way to add this info prior to importing into iTunes so I don't have to manually add the same info to each track?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I ended up doing:
I took the blank songs and added them one-by-one as WAV files into iTunes. Then I modified the "get info" summaries and added the artist name and album name to each. But now I had these huge WAV files... too large to burn back to my iPod. So I created a playlist in iTunes for the 20 songs and then burned them to a CD. Then I deleted the songs from iTunes, then re-imported them from the CD.
Kind of convoluted, but it worked and didn't really take THAT long. I now have the songs on my iPod with all the artist info and a backup CD with the same info and as WAV files.

How do you keep yourself well organized at work?

For documentation I use onenote which is synced to my owncloud server so i can use it when ever needed. I also use a mix of wundlerlist and spiceworks to keep track of all my to do items and issues and requests. My number one recommendation is find the best way that works for you documenting and make sure to stick to it. Writing or typing it down will make sure that you retain what you did that day!

I am about to begin my first IT career in about a week (as a help desk position.)
I'm very excited about my new career shift but am bit worried at the same time.
That being said, I have a question that I want to ask all of you guys out there who has been working in the field for a quiet some time.
How do you keep yourself well organized when it comes to documenting results?
I was taught to document EVERYTHING after you solve your assigned tickets.
Are there any great tools that could come in handy when you document things?
Plus, what would be a proper way of documenting?
Would you document every single steps you've tried to solve your ticket?
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD. For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

How do I keep photos in a particular order when burning to disc?

I made an Album in iPhoto5 of 200 photos from a recent trip. The photos in the Album don't follow the sequence I shot them. I want the photos to stay in the new order I've given them, and I'd like to include titles to help explain many of the pictures. When I put the photos into a folder in Finder to burn them, they go out of order. Can I asign sequential numbers to this Album and still retain the titles? How do I keep them in order??? Thanks

Hi Tom,
You should be able to make a slidshow almost as easy as what you're trying to do right now... it'll take some pratice
Personally, I have both exported a slideshow from iPhoto to iDVD and also created a slideshow directly in iDVD, the latter is a better fit for what you're doing.
Open iDVD, create new project, name as you like and save, will auto open to work window, click on 'customize', pick a theme you like. Now click on 'Map' and in the customize pane click on 'Media'. In the media pane you have itunes, photos and movie, select photos... you're iPhoto library will appear along with all the albums you might have created and organized. Here's what makes it sweet, you can drag each album into the 'Map' Theme icon and it will automatically import and turn into a slideshow and take on the name of the album... to see your progess hit the Preview button... you'll have to do a little learning and tweaking, you can add music etc., but that's it, you made a slide show ready to burn to a dvd...
My suggestions would be to organize albums as you like, named appropriately and just have fun with it. You can save and go back and edit at a later date. Use the highlight and delete or cut options to remove etc etc etc...
You can burn project using the File > Burn DVD option or you can save the FINAL production use the File > Save As Disk Image option, and you can burn the DVD through disk utility which will give you more options on burn speed and buring at 1x speed may yield the best results...

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Within an Album? Drag and drop.
