I photo reorganizing order of pictures ?

I created a standard album of photos in I Photo and changed the order of some of the pictures. I marked a group of about 50 pictures and moved it to the end of the album. Apparently it worked fine but I turned off my computer and the next day turned it on again and the group of 50 pictures was back in it's original position and not at the end of the album like I wanted it.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make sure the sort option for that album is set to manual. If the Restore Manual Sort option is not grayed out select it.
If you can't keep the manual sort of that or any album between launches of iPhoto make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the fix below:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • In Photos, how can one control the order of pictures in an album?

    Is there any way, in Photos, to control the order of pictures in an album? Is there any way to sort, or order things manually?

    Thanks. Let me refine my question as follows: is there a way to keep the manual order in albums that I had in iPhoto when transferring to Photos?

    I have a iMac with Lion 10.7.4. Ive had to turn Photo Stream on several time in order for pictures to download. Should Photo Stream stay on?

    That's an all to frequent problem.  Try deleting the iPhoto preference file and then reset all of the preferences in iPhoto. That may do the job.

    I tryed to sort my pictures with buying Apps and following suggestion from apple, but without any success.

    Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
    The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

  • How to change the order of pictures on Apple TV

    The pictures shown on the TV are not in date/time or file number order.  How do you change the order of the pictures on the screen?

    I have struggled with this last year. The sort order of pictures is different in iPhoto, iPad, Apple TV. There are some tricks to get the desired order, but I never managed to get this consistent. The Apple TV has no option for sorting unfortunately.
    Maybe things are better now, but I have given up on showing photos using iTunes.
    Nowadays I am streaming photos from my NAS and I can show them in any order I want.

  • HT4221 I arranged my photos in order on my PC and when I synced them to my ipad they appeared in a completely different order. How can I get my folders to transfer exactly how they are on my PC?

    I arranged my photos in order and in folders on my PC. When I synced them to my IPad they were in the correct folders but completely out of order. How can I get them to sync in the order they appear on my PC?.

    On iOS 5 (if viewing individual photo albums on the iPad) the photo sorting order should be by filename, on iOS 4 it's date taken (from here) :
    iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. Specifically, your device uses the pictures' EXIF tags to determine the Date Taken information. Your device will look for the following EXIF tags within your pictures:
    Capture Date
    Date Time Digitized
    Date Time Original
    Last Modified
    So you will need to change their names or their dates

  • Reversing order of pictures in slideshow

    I am about to make a dvd slideshow and would like to know how to reverse the order of pictures in iphoto so that they apear in the right order in idvd slideshow

    In iphoto, I would set up an album, even if it is only temporary, to hold the photos that you want to be in the slideshow. In iphoto you then select which option to use for sorting the photos inside that album. For example, By Name, By Date, etc. If all else fails, you can arrange them manually inside of that album. In idvd then, you can drag the whole album into the slide show sorter from the media menu. As idvd imports the photos and creates the thumbnails they should come into idvd in the same order that they were in iphoto. At least they do for me.

    This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

    I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
    Help much appreciated!

    Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
    Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
    Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
    have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

    adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
    I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
    Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
    Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

    Hey there Nyibyen,
    It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
    You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
    From: Express Checkout
              http://store.apple.com/us/help/express_checkout_faq
    If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
