HT4221 Synched Photos from PC should be in File Name Order, not by last modified date

Since installing IOS 7 the sorting of my photos from my PC sent to my Iphone have become totally random.
Apple claims the files are by Last Date Modified.
I have a very detailed file naming system on my PC which makes Photo Retrieval by Date, Name, Subject easy.
Is there any software that recognizes the Windows File Name?  The sequence file names given during SYNCH are useless.

When you import into iPhoto, each imported set goes into a folder called Last Import.
One way to do what you want without losing your organization:
iPhoto / File / Import to Library. Navigate to the first folder on the pc. and click on Import. The contents of the folder on the PC will all come together.
On the Mac the photos will be in the folder called Last Import.
On the Mac, create a new folder with the name you want. (File Menu / New folder)
Move the photos as a batch (select all) from the Last Import folder to the one you just named.
Do this as many time as you have folders.

  • Photos don't show up in file name order

    Photos don't show up in file name order on the iPad. Is there a way to do it?

    Apparently from reading other forum posts Apple iPad sorts photos by the date stamp.
    Clearly this is not suitable or feasable for people with large photo collections. Currently only people with Apple OS (iPhoto can create a sort order).. The rest of us with Windows based systems are left high & dry.
    Does anyone know how to report a bug / problem to Apple ? They have no way of contacting them via email.
    They need to have the sorting option in iTunes or within the iPad software itself... ie. Allow sorting by file name, etc.

    I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
    Any suggestions?

    I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
    I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up  again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

  • How do I synch photos from my PC to Ipad2 without a change in the order of the photos?

    I am not able to synch photos from my PC to Ipad2 without a change in the order of the photos. I ordered them by date so thought there would be no problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

    A better solution in windows is set up folders and organize your pictures that way.  That will be similar to events that iPhoto uses. That way the pictures will stay in an organized fashion for you.
    I use a mac and iPhoto and the pictures are organized by events.
    Good luck.

    You have to place the photos into sub folders and then place those folders into a main folder from which you want to sync - using iTunes. This article explains how to do it - step by step.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • IPhone Cannot Synch Photos from iPhoto

    Hello,
    I have my iPhoto (and iTunes) library on an external harddrive that I connect wirelessly to thru my new airport extreme. I use my MacBook Pro to synch my iPhone. My iTunes videos and music synch great, but when I select the photo albums I want to load onto the phone, iTunes "thinks" for about 45 seconds, and then gives me the warning,
    "The iPhone 'Ryan's iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    Is this a problem with the iPhone? I have loaded photos in the same way from my MacBook onto my iPod and it worked fine... Is this due to the fact that I am connecting to my photo library via a wireless connection?
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Ryan H.

    I am synching photos from Aperture. The photos are on an external hard drive but it is connected to my computer (G5) via firewire not wireless. iPhoto worked as well but most of my photos are accessible via Aperture.

  • How can I delete previously itunes synched photos from my ipad 3 now that I use the cloud instead of synching via mac/itunes?

    how can I delete previously itunes synched photos from my ipad 3 now that I use the cloud instead of synching via mac/itunes?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer, and on the Photos tab de-select those folders that you no longer want on the iPad - they can't be deleted directly on the iPad. If you no longer want any synced photos on your iPad then you can select and sync just an empty folder.

  • Synching Photos from Computer - deleting all apps?

    I want to synch photos from my computer to my new iPad for the first time. When I choose "synching photos" and go to "apply" I get a Message that all apps on my iPad will be deleted. I don't understand the connection to the apps. How do I get around that? Thanks for any assistance.

    Connect you iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Then from the iTunes menu at the top go to File>Transfer Purchases. This will place all of your purchased content - apps, media, songs, etc, into your iTunes Library on the computer.
    Then click on the Apps Tab in iTunes on the right, Check the box next to Sync Apps, then make sure that you check the boxes next to all of the apps that you want to keep on the iPad, Go through all of the other tabs in the iTunes window and make sure you select all of the other content that you want to sync - and remember to check the headings (Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc).
    Click on apply and all of the content that you chose to sycn will now be on the iPad.

  • Synching Photos from Another Computer to AppleTV

    Hi all! I'm running iTunes 7.3.1, which is supposed to feature the ability to synch photos from a different computer to your AppleTV, only I can't figure out how.
    I'm running two Powerbooks. One has my iTunes library and one has all my photos. Is it possible from the source list in iTunes on Powerbook A to synch photos onto my AppleTV from Powerbook B?
    Thanks!

    If you have photos on the old iPad in your Camera Roll I would copy the ones you want to save to your computer. Ten I would sync the new iPad to your computer to have all the photos, music and other stuff on your new pad that you want.

  • What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

  • I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

    I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
    The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
    I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
    In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
    I hope this is not TMI.

  • Is it possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order?

    Is i possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order they appear on the disk?  When I import them, the come out in random order.

    When first imported the photos will be sorted in the Event chronologically. On the disk they well be sorted by the Finder and that's usually alphanumerically by file name. So select the photos in the event and type Commnad+N.  That will create a new album at the left with the photos in it. Then go to the View ➙ Sort Photo menu and select "By Title".  That should give you the same order as you view the photos on the disk via the Finder.

  • How do I get my photos from Elements 11 into a file folder.

    How do I get my photos from Elemtnts 11 into a file folder.  I am trying to use Blurb to make a travel book but because of the number of photos I have them in groups and want them to stay in groups for the book.  Unfortunately the photos in each grouping are all over the place and will be definitely difficult and time consuming to bring into Blurb.

    Thank you.  I tried this before I wrote the question as the photos had just disappeared!
      I was very nervous to try this again but did with some junk photos and after much trial and error - it worked!  I'm not a real pro as you can tell and appreciate your help.

  • Photos sent as email attachments from iPhone ALWAYS have the file name -- photo.jpg?

    Do all photos sent from an iPhone to an email address get sent with the name -- photo.jpg?
    Anybody know of a way to have the iPhone not send all emailed photos as photo.jpg

    Is there no one from Apple who reads these discussion/community boards?  Over 245 views and no reply to your question.  I saw a similar concern from 2009 with over 700 views and no reply.  I can't believe that Apple hasn't fixed this.
    I am a Blackberry user and have the choice to switch over to iphone next year.  I have to use my phone on a daily basis for work to take photos and email them to multiple people (including myself).  Blackberry has always uniquely named each photo with the date it was taken plus a unique identifier so it's really easy to file, email, and figure out which photo was which (they also list by name and not just thumbnail). 
    I would really like to switch over to iphone but if there isn't an app or some way to fix this...I don't know what I will do.  You'd think that an issue that's over 4 years old would have been resolved by now....?  The other thing that is really annoying with iphone photos is that whenever someone emails me with them, a lot of times they are upside down, even if they corrected it on their phone before emailing it to me.  Somehow the photos do not work well with Microsoft Outlook.
