How to organize photos in alphabetical order?

Normally it was't a problem to show photos on apple tv in an alphabetical order...today it seems, that apple tv organze it just by date of photography. does somebody knows how to solve this problem???

To be honest, I've forgotten whether the photos are ordered alphabetically or by date.
I usually put photos in an album and sort them by Date (iPhoto > View > Sort by) and then arrange them in the order I want (more often than not that's the same order as by date, but not always) which then changes the Sort by option to 'Manually'.
Once they are in the order I want them, I batch change (iPhoto > Photos > Batch Change) both the title and the date (the date only if I have re-ordered them myself). The title I will set to say 'John's 5th Birthday' and iPhoto will append 001, 002 etc in the order I have set them manually. Batch changing the date will also put them chronologically into the order I have chosen.
If I change the date on an album of photos, I tend to set it appropriately. Sometimes it may just be one or two photos that need changing, if for example someone else has given you a couple and the date on their camera is slightly out from yours. Other times I might be quicker just changing them all, so the 30 photos from John's birthday started at noon on February 1 and finished at 3.00 pm will be set to noon on February 1 with each photo adding 6 minutes.
So for me it doesn't matter whether photos are sorted alphabetically by title or chronologically by date, they always appear in the order I want them.

  • How to view photos in alphabetical order

    Well I have about 300 photos that need to be ordered alphabetically but my iPod touch does it by the date taken I believe and so this is no good for me so is there any program that will allow me to batch change date taken, on photos and with time/date difference between each photo otherwise the only other way I can think of is manually doing it one photo at a time. My OS is windows 7 and all of the photos are PNG format although I'm sure I could change them if necessary.

    This link should help. It was discussed on the iPad forum.

  • How do I view photos in alphabetical order?

    How do I view photos in alphabetical order? I have a little over 65,000 photos and I have them ordered alphabetically, first by folder, then by photo. I would like to view them in this way with the new Photos App but do not see an option to do so.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks

    Sort options are very limited in this 1.0. version of Photos. In some views you can change it (in the View menu) from By Date, to By Title, but that's about it. Definitely an area where more features need to be added...
    You can request features, point out bugs, etc, at Apple Feedback pages:

    Or directly for Photos:

  • Mine, her's & ours – how to organize photos in a multi-Mac family?

    Hi folks,
    from a quick search at Apple discussions I realize that my following problem is a very common, but essentially an unsolved one. So rather than a final solution, I'm looking for ideas and discussion on how to organize photos in a family setting…
    The problem started when my wife got her own MacBook a few weeks ago, and when we started having two iPhoto libraries instead of one. We do have some photos that can be definitely labeled as 'mine' or 'hers'. But how should we organize family photos? What if one of us wanted to just grab their MacBook and show off the kids' pictures to a friend?
    Duplicating photos involves a lot of manual extra work, and labels and keywords will inevitably run out of sync. If we keep photos on a network drive we can't just take them away from home. It seems like the problem is not just related to iPhoto, but to digital photography in general. Or is there another photo organizer – Aperture? Lightroom? Whatever else? – that serves families well?
    If you've faced this problem, I'd like to hear how you approached it.
    cheers
    Hendrik

    You could put an external HD connected to the TC. Then each time one of you take new photos upload them to a folder on your Desktop. Name the folder with the date of the shoot (this assumes that each of your delete the memory card in the camera after each shoot and upload) and a brief description like: 01/16/10-Aidan's 4th Bday Party. You can also rename the photos in the folder. I use the international date and a brief description: 2010-01-16-Aidans 4th-001.JPG, -002.JPG, etc. You an use a file renaming application likeRenamer4Mac orName Mangler to do the job.
    Next import the folder into your iPhoto. This will create an Event with the same name as the folder. Then drag the folder to the hard drive on the Time Capsule. Then each of you can view the folders on the external HD and import those folders which you don't have - or not.
    This will also act as a backup of the original files. I'm not sure what format the external HD needs to be to work in this manner but it shouldn't matter as long as you're only storing files. You can't run a iPhoto library from it if it isn't formatted OS X Extended (journaled). Also running a library wirelessly is fraught with problems like dropouts which can damage the database file.
    That way you will have 3 backup copies of your photos - actually 2 as the two libraries on the TC really only count as one since they are on the same drive.

  • How to import images in alphabetical order???

    How may I import images in alphabetical order? I have a stack of images that I have renamed so that they are in alphabetical order. However, when I import these ~100 images into iPhoto, it sorts them in some other order (perhaps, although I am not sure, by time taken). If iPhoto does not allow one to import alphabetically (although I sure hope it does, since this would be very convenient), any ideas how I may modify the image taken time so that I can get this set imported in the order that I need?
    Thank you very much!

    What print service are you using? Is it an online print service? Or an iPhoto plug-in? To upload to a website you should export the photos (a Desktop folder is convenient) and choose the exports for the upload.
    If you are using the Finder to see a list of files, the Finder always lists them in alpha-numeric order. To get a list of photos to export to your Desktop (for uploading) and preserve your order, try this: create an Album, sort them the way you want, then Export to a Desktop folder. In the Export dialog, choose "use Album name" as the filename option. This will preserve your order upon export and name the files "Album name - 01.jpg, Album name - 02.jpg, ..., Album name - 99.jpg." It only works with 99 or fewer photos in the album, so for more photos create another album.

  • How to switch from reverse alphabetical order?

    Please forgive a newbie question: when I open a list view of my hard drives in Finder, the names of the folders are listed in reverse alphabetical order, with the Z's on top, and the A's on the bottom. How can I change it so that it displays the A's on top and the Z's on bottom, whenever I open the view? Thanks in advance.

    Click the "Name" bar, so the small triangle faces up again.
    You know you can also sort by Date Modified, etc, just click on the column's topbar.

  • How to organize photos in a new album or event

    First of all, please allow me to get something off my chest: recently, I gotmyself a new MacPro. My older MacBook died on me. One thing I was really happyabout is that, finally, I had iPhoto. Well, this turned into a nightmare. I donot consider myself as a tecno-idiot, but I guess I am from what I haveexperienced so far with iPhoto. It seems to me that is so"sophisticated" that its developers forgot those of us who only needthe simple pleasures of life...in this case just a place to store the photos ina particular order so we can see them or show them. Simple, no?
    Thanks.
    As for the actual problem, here goes: I use two notebooks, one is thisMac and the other is a Windows based unit.
    Let me first refer to the organization of the pictures in the Windows basedunit
    1. My pictures (all nicely organized each set in its own folder) havebeen on the Windows PC, using MS Office Picture Manager. Having iPhoto, Ithought I would move them to the Mac.
    2. As we all know, when one downloads pictures from a camera, their"names" appear as a bunch of letters and the number indicating thesequence.
    3. So, in MS Office Picture Manager, I have them organized in thefollowing manner 2003>wedding; 2003>Europe and so on right up to thisyear. Each folder begins with a year.
    4. In, let's say, 2003>Europe, I organized the pictures startingwith numbers so that I have them like so: 2003>Europe>1. Paris-Eiffeltower;  2. Paris-Eiffel tower-top floor;3. Paris-Eiffel tower-panorama Paris...and so on.
    Now, let me go to the Mac.
    1. I copy-pasted my entire photo collection to an external hard driveand from there got iPhoto to import them where they landed in"Events", each showing as an "Event". All seemed well sofar.
    2. It so happens that I am trying to sell my house. The realtor wantsa set of pictures, so I created a new "Event" and went into variousother events to pull pictures from them and form a special set for the realtor.And here is where the problem surfaced.
    3. I started moving pictures into the new "Event". I thengave each picture a number (1-, 2-, 3-, etc.) and a description (main entrance,entrance hall, and so on, just like I did in MS Office Picture Manager). So farso good.
    4. Then I went to View>sort>by name. It turned out that unlike PictureManager, iPhoto does not recognize numbers as "names" and so, it didnot put them in the right sequence.
    5. NOT ONLY THAT, the pictures got scrambled and some of thedescriptions were in  sequence and othersnot and some reverted to their original names (in Windows) and a couple evenwent further back and appeared as DSCN...whatever.
    6. I tried various ways. Nothing. So I called Apple support anddespite the fact that we seemed to be speaking different languages for a while,I finally understood that I needed to create an "Album" (under"Albums") and do the work there.
    7. So I did, but the 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. classification still would notwork. So I tried A-, B-, C-, D-, etc. and THAT would not work either. So I justgave up in frustration.
    So, my question is this: is there anyone who can kindly let me knowhow I can do something as simple and straightforward as creating a new album,move pictures from "Events" or "Photos" (I even tried fromthere) into the new album and have them sort themselves as sequence with thenames I give them. Or at least, stay in the sequence I assigned them.
    I am sorry for this long-winded message, but there was no shorter wayto explain this.
    Many thanks,
    Emile

    Bear with me a minute. You're confusing a lot of things.
    1. As Larry says, on Windows you are using a File Manager for you your photos. All well and good if it works for you, but limited. Why? Because it doesn't leverage any of the extra information available with photos files. Essentially, a File Manager doesn't distinguish between a photo nd a Word file or a Music file. They are just files.
    2. Photo Managers like iPhoto (Or Picasa, Aperture, Lightroom et al) work differently. They are designed to leverage the additional information available in the photo file. Case in point: Date. In the File Manager you have folders created for Year/Month/Day. In iPhoto the pics are grouped into Events automatically. These Events are based on the date and time the Photos were taken, and which is recorded in the Exif metadata for the photo file.
    As we all know, when one downloads pictures from a camera, their"names" appear as a bunch of letters and the number indicating thesequence.
    These are Filenames assigned by the Camera. In iPhoto you don't change Filenames you edit Titles. Titles are quite independent of filenames and are an entry in the Exif metadata.
    I'm not sure what you've done in the renaming sequence, but iPhoto does not have a Sort -> by Name command. There is a Sort By Title command.
    But you would not use Events for this job anyway. You would use an Album. Create an Album, drag the pics to it and then you can sort them in any order you want, manually. Then using the Batch Change Command you can create a sequence for them. So, Title the pics 'House Sale' and check the box to append  number and the result:
    House Sale 01, House Sale 02 etc

  • How to arrange albums in alphabetical order?

    iTunes was bad enough before; I had to work hard to get my music sorted on it.  Now the updated programme is utterly dreadful. Albums are not listed alphabetically any more, and I can't see the individual pieces of music within an album.  Can someone tell me how to get albums listed alphabetically, for a start?   

    Thank you for bringing this up and for the useful info - I have found the updated iTunes incredibly muddling.  Why, if they were going to change it, didn't they improve it instead of make it less useable?
    I have over 4000 'songs' and most are classical, and I, too, spent years cataloguing them with composer name, conductor, orchestra, etc. so that iTunes could sort them in a way that was useful to me and easy to find. Now, the grid with albums is not in any particular order at all - how do you find something like that?
    What I find to be the biggest problem of all in the update: you can no longer search for a particular 'song' by a word in title, album title, composer/artist, etc. just by typing it in the search box and searching all of your tracks - that list is no longer there.  As far as I can make out, you can only search through particular playlists. If anyone has any information about this, I would be so grateful! - Thanks.
    (p.s. - I know that this section is iTunes for Windows, but I have a Mac and I have not found the answer to my question anywhere)

  • How to get songs into alphabetical order (iPhone 4)

    Hi all, ive currently switched from a 3GS to an iPhone 4, but however my i click the Music app, and click 'Songs' tab, there is no alphabetical order? (Below in the picture) Its just done by ABC etc. But no in that little tab where on the right it shows the alphabet and for example you click 'M' and it takes you to your songs that start with 'M'.
    From this:
    To this:
    So how do i get it to display with alphabetical and with the tab where you can click a letter and it takes you to songs starting with that letter you choose?

    Hey peter2009,
    You may want to manually input the metadata for the songs. To do so, highlight the songs that you would like to group in an album > Right-click > Get Info (Be careful, you only want to edit the Album information).
    For more information, see the following resource:

  • How do i organize photos in chronological order from more than one import

    I photographed an event using more than one camera.  Therefore, I had to do more than one import.  For some reason the photos are in chronological order based on the camera they were shot with.  I have set the "view" to sort by "capture time, but for some reason it is not rearranging all of my selected photos to be in correct order.  I synchronized the camera times before I began shooting to avoid discrepancies in timing.  Please help this is killing me!

  • Digital Photo Frame df1010v2 - how to download photos in the order they appear on USB?

    Hi,
    If you are happy with PSE 6, why not continue to use it?
    PSE 13 can display the images in date/time order like PSE 6 does. The time doesn't appear when you hover over a thumbnail but can be displayed below the thumbnail. The best thing is for you to download the trial version (select version 13 from the following link) and try it for 30 days to see if you like it.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    If you use the trial, to see the date and time under each thumbnail you need to go to the View menu in the organizer and ensure that Details is checked.

  • How to organize photos in iPhoto?

    Hi!
    All my photos are organized by events in iPhoto, and I would like to move all the photos i took during my exchange year to a seperate album or event. I tried to organize them by making a new album and drag all the albums into it, but it resulted in an album containing 7000 unorganized photos. How do i manage to keep the old sorting of the photos in the new album?
    - Gøril

    Open IPHOTO>HELP and enter 'switching photos' in the upper right hand corner.  Find switching between photo libraries'.  If your photos are organized the way you want them in the old library then you may try one of two methods.  Duplicate the old album and delete what you don't want i the new album or transfer those pictures you want album by album. That should retain the same organization.
    Ciao.
