How do you sort photo albums in date order instead of alphabetic order?

My photo albums used to be date sorted but after selecting Sort albums, they are now in alphabetic order. How do I undo that, please?

this is strictly a user to user forum and is specifically NOT a place to contact Apple - griping at the volenteer users here does no one any good at all
Have you made the request - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback?

I am sorry that I ran afoul of the user guidelines, I'll remove the rant if I can. I certainly did not intend my gripe to target the helpful responder. And yes, I did provide the feedback to Apple. I'm just used to such feedback going into a "black hole". Which this almost certainly does because this problem has existed for years (I Googled for an answer first.) However, it should be noted that company's tend to respond to feedback that is very public if they want to keep a good name in the business. The private feedback through the program is like a quiet whisper, only the two parties involved know about it, so there is no real incentive for prompt action.

You can only arrange albums by name or manually. So you would have to make the data a part of the name, if you want to sort by date. It might help to group the albums in folders by year or so.

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

How do you transfer photo albums to the computer? When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon. I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
please help
cheers

ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
cheers

Same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Under the Photos tab, remove the checks for the photos you don't want on your phone, hit the "Apply/Sync" button.

How do you remove photo albums from Iphone4?

I have been trying to remove photo albums from my Iphone4 which have been synced from my PC. Is there any way of doing this without taking the phone to the staff at the Apple Store?

Connect the phone, click on the Photos tab and uncheck the albums you want to remove. Then sync.
BTW, the staff at the Apple store won't be able to do it unless you take your computer to them.

Nokia 701 Helping with Lumia 800

Well as you seem uninterested in a more extensive answer what else is there. A Windows Phone device is not 'on it's own' so to speak it is part of an ecosystem which includes Skydrive, your Micrsoft account and more. As such it uses features provided by these resources.
As the OS is very secure it does not allow too much tinkering with the 'inside' instead it allows you to pull in information from a number of sources. Your Photo Albums are on Facebook, Skydrive and other locations. There they can be edited/renamed or whatever. This has always been the way WP is designed even before other started copying this behaviour as it makes sense.
In a few years time _everyone_ will be using the cloud like this and it will be a none-issue. When the time comes just remember WP was the frontrunner in this and the other systems followed their lead..

How do you sort by album name?

I have iTunes for Windows Vista, and I can sort music in my library by Name, Time, Artist, Genre, Rating, Play Count, and last played. However, there is no option to sort by album name. Shouldn't there be? Otherwise, how can I possibly find all the tracks of a compilation with various artists without going crazy?

Anyone have a solution to this yet?
In MUSIC, clicking on columns to add ALBUM name only adds ALBUM by ARTIST which does not give a way to see and sort for the entire LIBRARY.
Seems to be a lost ffeature in the new 9.0 version.

How do you delete photo albums that have been syned to your iPhone when you don't know how they got there anyway?

Somehow when I synced my iPhone last week, it added albums of photos from I guess previous syncs and now I have all theses albums on my phone I do not want on my phone. I have tried to figure out how to delete them but can't. And it is taking up a lot of space. How do I get them off my phone and make sure they don't sync on there again?

I didn't have that selected before because it never did it before but for some reason it has become checked. I have unchecked it and, lo and behold, after syncing twice, they are gone from mu phone!!! You totally rock!! thank you so much!

How Do you create photo albums

How do I put my photos into albums?

Until iOS 5 is installed (iOS 5 is released next wednesday) then you need to organise your photos on your computer prior to syncing them to the iPad, as you can't currently move them between albums directly on the iPad. If syncing multiple photo folders from your computer (which you need to sync them all together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) then each folder will get its own album on the iPad.

How do you sort photos to id duplicates to delete

I made the mistake in pulling the same photos into different albums and duplicating them now I have alot mor epics then I want Is there an easy way to sort the pics so the same ones end up side by side so I can delete to just have one?

You don't duplicate photos when you drag them into an album. Those are just pointers to the original file. You can have a photo in multiple albums, books, slideshows and still have only one image file in the library.
If you delete a photo from an album it's deleted only from that album. If you delete a photo from an Event it's deleted from every occurance in the library as well as the library.

How Do you Copy Photo Albums to all devices over icloud

So I have the following setup
iPad 2, new iPad, iPhone 4s; and 2 windows computers.
I have photostream enabled. Photos sync across as they should however, If i place a photo in an album; I am wanting the album to be copied to the rest of the devices as well so I can sort the photos.
Has anyone figured this one out?

Whilst you can add any photo you want to Photostream on a computer, I doubt this is going to help you. photostream only keeps photos for 30 days.
