HT4236 Photos out of order, in the wrong folder

After I sync folders of photos from my pc to my iPad (using iTunes), the photos are mixed up on the iPad, not only out of sequence within the folders, but appearing in the incorrect folder altogether! How do Ifix this? Thank you.

244 random photos suddenly appeared in the wrong folder

I recently imported 8 photos into Lightroom 5.7 using the "2015-05-25 Folder Name" naming system, and I saw the 8 imported photos in the folder. No problems. However, after reopening Lightroom, the folder with 8 photos suddenly has 252 photos. There are 244 random photos from various years and various other folders which are also inside of my main "Photo Library Lightroom" folder. I had been assigning "key wordis" to photos last week, but I am not sure how that could have taken 246 random photos and "shoved" them into the wrong folder. Do I have to manually "refile" the "misfiled" photos, or is there a magic button to get Lightroom to fix this?

One thing that could explain at least most of the situation is that you did a synchronize at a top-level folder then had Move as your Import type instead of Add, as well as Don’t Import Suspected Duplicates UNCHECKED, and LR imported and moved all those photos to whatever your current destination was.
This does sounds like what might have caused the "Move" of 244 random files into the single new folder, but I don't think so.
If the 244 random files were previously imported into LR they would be not selected when doing a 'Synchronize Folder' operation on a top-level folder. 'Synchronize Folder' searches the selected folder and subfolders if 'Show Photos in Subfolders' is checked in the Library menu. Files that reside in the target folders on the HDD that are NOT currently showing inside LR will be imported.
If the 244 random files were NOT previously imported into LR then they would be imported if the 'Synchronize Folder' was performed on the top-level containing folder. Unfortunately I can't duplicate this as I only see 'Add' with the other options grayed out when importing files from numerous subfolders with files that are not showing inside LR. Here's what I see with 'Don't Import Suspected Duplicates' checked or NOT checked:
Even if I select 'All Photos' only the files that are "missing" inside LR are checked for Import. It's impossible to select any other files inside LR or force it to 'Move' the files to a new destination folder.
Steve, is there some mode or setting I'm missing that would allow selecting 'Move' when doing a 'Synchronize Folder' Import?

Do you mean the lock screen? If you have forgotten the password you have to restore the device and delete everything. Before you say "that's dumb, apple!" be happy it's not possible to hack because if someone stealsyourphone at least they can't hack it.

My Audio Books are in my playlist and the chapters are all correctly arranged in my I tunes. I watched it sync to my nano but after it was all done... A few of the chapters were out of order in the nano.

Recorded audio in the wrong folder

I recorded my audio in the wrong folder (they are not in the project folder). I copied them over to my project folder but can't figure out how to link my song file/audio regions to the new location. I tried to set this in the Audio Window by resetting "Set Audio Record Path" but it wants me to give it a new file name (creating a whole new document?)
Can someone help me work this out?

Brian:
Try putting the files back in their original folder location, open up the project, and then use the Project -> Consolidate menu option. If I recall correctly it will move everything into a new specified folder (or an existing folder) and re-reference the paths for you.

The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - not finished with the install process

The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - I am at the part of the download/install process where the "Welcome" screen appears asking for me to agree to the license agreement. Somewhere on your site, I read that they should NOT go to the applications folder but to the "Users" folder. Can/should I move/drag the folder with the dmg files into the "Users" folder"? If so, before or after I complete the install? I am running MAC OSX 10.7.4 on a MAC Mini.
Also, when the trial period is over, I will use the license number for the purchased software disks, should the dmg's/folders then be moved to the application folder or stay in the "users" section? I have Purvhased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but somewhere on your site it was suggested to download them instead and use the license code at the appropiate time. If someone can help with these questions, I would appreciate it. Thank you

Hi,
In the Welcome screen, you can accept the license agreement and can go ahead with the installation. You will be asked for the serial number. If you don't have one, install it as a trial application. By default, it's installed in the Applications folder. However, you can change the installation folder in the third screen, if you have a reason. Please see the screenshot below:
After installing, you can't move application to a different directory by dragging. You need to uninstall and install it again in the folder of your choice.
Thanks,
Sunil

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Photos out of order. How to change the 'Date Taken' date on ipod touch?

Since updating to ios8, some of my camera photos have randomly changed their dates to 2015. Does anyone know how I can change the date on these back so that they appear in the right sequence?

Yes. You can batch change those photos with the Photos->Batch Change->Date menu option. You an add a time differential between every photo so they will be chronologically sorted in the order you put them before changing the date.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos out of order with iOS5 update

Looking for any advice I can get on my out of order photos on my 4g ipod touch. When the last major operating system update came down the line I had a similiar issue. The way I solved it last time was by batch changing all the dates for my pictures in iphoto. My folders in iphoto are numbered sequentially. Any advice?

Mavericks, Photo Booth issues -- photos out of order

I recently updated to Mavericks, and since then all of my photos have been out of order in Photo Booth. I have been able to reorganise them according to date created in the root folder, but not in Photo Booth itself.
Any ideas?

Same issue here as well. Photobooth is sorting by file name. New images created have a long file name includng the date and time. Earlier photos are named photo1.jpg...Anybody know a good file re-namer?

Slideshows show photos out of order

Hi there
I have an Apple TV and looking at my slideshows, my photos are displayed out of order. I renamed all the files so they are in the sequence I want, however that made no difference.
Seems as though the Apple TV is showing the files in order of the time the shots were taking which is not what I want given the re-naming process I went through.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

AppleTV shows you your pictures in whatever order AppleTV decides, and you WILL like it. ha ha.
Seriously, I've tried and failed here. I have no clue how the thing decides what order to show pictures, I don't think it's necessarily in the order I shot them in.. it's more likely the order they get copied over by iTunes. So maybe uploading your photos 1 at a time will enforce a specific order.
Since there's no way for Apple to monetize your personal photos, I don't think they are really interested in developing that part of the software as well as they do for the movie rental and itunes store portions. I've had this device for almost 2 years now and pretty much only the parts that they use to sell me stuff have been improved in that time.
Personally I'm about ready to convert my iTV into a doorstop.

Just upgraded and photos out of order

WOW, I just upgraded to 11 and all photos are out of order
in previous versions if I wanted to look at my library (Photos) they would be in order of when they were put into iPhoto, from the 1st to most recent.
with the upgrade they are all random. Is there any way to get them back in order? as in, the order they were installed into iPhoto?
thanks

Earlier this month I tried to ask the same question but not as well. In any case I don't understand your suggestion. When I go to View-> Sort Photos the only options are sort by date, keyword, title or rating and in either ascending or descending order (manual and reset manual sort are grayed out). How does this make the latest added image appear as the last added to the Photo Library. If there is eXIF data, the photo gets imported and placed by photo-taken date in the Photo Library. How do I make iPhoto disregard the eXIF information? I understand I can go to Last Import and then manually change the date the photo was taken, but this is very cumbersome when importing a quantity of photos.

Cloud backup restored photos and documnets to the wrong folder and all in one folder

I used the cloud backup to backup and restore my photos and documents because I was told to fix my problem I would have to do a hard reset. When I restored the photos and documents they were all restored to the wrong place and all in one folder. Please help. Is there any way to fix this or is their cloud backup program just stupid and I am screwed?

Kallyone,
Let's get to the bottom of this and get your pictures and documents backed up correctly. What phone do you have? Did you restore every all at once? Try removing the files and doing the restore again. Did you do the restore from the phone or desktop app?
