How keep original order of photos in iPhoto album when transferring to Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this?   Also, does anyone know how to keep the captions below photos when using Photo Stream?

Are you asking about "My Photo Stream" or a "Shared Photo Stream"?
"My Photo Stream" is only a temporary buffer, not meant for long term storage. You have no control over the order of the photos in the stream. Mostly they will be ordered by the date.
"Shared Photo Streams" will be ordered in the same order as add the photos. SO you can control the sequence by adding the photos one by one.
The captions will not be transferred, only the file names.

  • Photos deletes from albums when deleting from photo stream.

    I just updated to the new Photos App. If  I take a picture with my iPhone, it appears on the photo stream on my Mac, of course. However, if I move the photo to an album, and then try to delete the photo from my photo stream, Photos also deletes the photo from the album! This happens even if I place the photo in a Smart Album. I tried following the Apple instructions given. They said to click on a photo I wanted to keep on my computer, and then click on the "share" option, Then I would be given the option to save the file to my computer. However, I am not given that option at all. I am only given the option to save it to iCloud  or some other cloud-based place. I only want to save it on my computer, not on iCloud. I have iCloud turned off, but photo stream turned on. Right now, the only way to keep pictures in albums is to go to the "recently deleted" file and "recover" them. This seems absurd to me. There has got to be a better way. Is anyone else having this same problem?
    This also happens with any other photos from my computer that I manually place into Photos. They get dumped into the Photo Stream, the no-man's land where they are temporarily there but not really there. And I cannot move them out of this temporary holding place without going through the above process of deleting them from photo stream and everywhere else and then recovering them. Help!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Blurry photos in iPhoto 11 when transferring from iPhoto 6 on different computer

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and I'm transferring my files over from my old MacBook.  When I moved my photos from the old one (running iPhoto 6) over to the new one (running iPhoto 11), the images look horrible.  They're all blurry and I can't enlarge them hardly at all without them looking really bad.  Does anyone know why this would be and how I can fix it?  Thank you in advance!

    The key question here is what exactly did you move, and how?
    This sounds very like you either copied only the thumbnails from the older machine or you imported one Library to another.
    FWIW
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661"><b><u>Firewire Target Disk Mode</b></u></a>, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How to get same order of appearance of photos in Iphoto album and album shown to IOS devices after sharing?

    How to get same order of appearance of photos in Iphoto album and album shown to IOS devices after sharing?

    Hello Leonie!
    I use Iphoto sharing with my family on their ios devises.  And it works. 
    The only problem is that, now, I try to organize the photos in a meaningful way (not chronologically) before Iphoto Sharing (Icloud)
    But on the ios devices the photos is arranged chronologically.
    Is there a solution?

  • I recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

    i recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

    Ay album do you mean an iPhoto book?  The best way is to restore a backup copy of your iPhoto library from just before the drive crashed.
    Baring that your only hope is to recreate the book in iPhoto.  For future book I suggest you try what is described in this tutorial: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date and, if you don't already have one, start a backup strategy for backing up your important files.

  • Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

  • How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to upgrade to Aperture?

    How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to updgrade to Aperture?

    Hi Terrence,  this is what happens, all too often when I click on something, sometimes it takes me 5 more clicks on the mouse while moving the cursor around to get rid of it. The one below popped up as I clicked on my junk mail.
    The next one popped up when I was trying to get on to a site. This happens all the time. Don't know why it is happening. It happens on iPhoto, Aperture, everywhere I go, FaceBook...everywhere and at any time. So frustrating. I don't know if this is normal, but this was happening just before my last mac died a year ago.

    Sorry, you question doesn't make sense. If you're trying to import photos, in your camera roll, to iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't import them twice.

  • TA22992 Trying to sync new photos from iphoto withou having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already try "selected albums, events, etc" no

    Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

    If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
    You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

  • How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

    How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

    The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S  ⌥⌘S.
    With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos.  If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.

  • I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

  • Organizing a iPhoto album in a shared iCloud stream?

    I created a Photo Album arranged and retitled all of the photos and shared it to iCloud as a stream. Now the stream reverted to ALL of the original photo titles and sorted by the meaningless titles???? How can I organize a shared stream?

    Photo Streams only sort by date.  So if you want to get the PS to display in your order select the photos in your album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Set Date to ➙ Date menu option with the checkbox checked to add a given interval between photos.
    Then recreate the Shared Photo Stream.  That should leave the photos in the order you want.

  • Iphone 4s Photos not rotating correctly when transferred to computer.

    When transfering a photo or video from an iphone to a computer the pictures and videos are all updside down.  I have an iphone 4s and was wondering if this is a bug or if there is a way to fix this?  thanks
    Additional note - i use a windows 7 pc

    I am having the exact same problem. I am transferring photos via icloud to my windows 7 PC, some pictures I can rotate and others I can't. I get an error about file properties, even though the file properties are the same as the photos I can rotate. This is definitely some kind of bug.
