IPad photo sort order issue is ridiculous. Why is this not fixed?

Apple,
Sometimes you might want to come down from the mountain and just fix the most obvious and insanely frustrating issues with your software. The one that rises to the top at the moment is when images are imported to iPad from folders (not iPhoto) they are not sort by name. Whose universe are you in that thinks this is helpful to anyone not using iPhoto and why did the 4.2 update not fix this issue. The iPad is made to present photos in the most amazing way. One of the top three uses for the device. Third party apps for photo presentation/portfolio are a sorry lot of problems and forcing them to import one image at a time is brutal.
This may also be a good time to rant about changing the orientation switch on the side of the iPad. That was one thing that just worked now it doesn't. You now need to take 5 steps to stop the orientation from changing. Again in what universe is this a good idea?
Thanks for all the incredible things you make but please take a minute and fix the simple stuff.

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings

  • Ipad Photos sort order

    I'm posting this entry to add my voice to the group of iPad users who have reported a defect in the order that the iPad displays photos, in the hope that Apple iOS and iTunes development will soon provide a fix for this defect.  The following is a description of my encounter with this defect, using a new iPad (3) with  iOS 6.0 and iTunes 10.7.0.21.
    I have a set of 1000 photos on my Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I re-arranged the photos in an order different from the order that they were taken with the digital camera.  I did a mass rename of the photo files so that the first file in this re-arrangement is named P0001, the second file is named P0002, etc.  I used iTunes on the PC to import the phptos into the iPad.  I checked the order of these photos displayed on the iPad and it matched the order P0001, P0002, etc.  I disconnected the iPad and exited from iTunes.  Later I reconnected the iPad and started iTunes.  I checked the order of these photos displayed on the iPad and it DID NOT match the order P0001, P0002, etc.  I found that it matched the order in which the photos were taken. 
    I consider this a defect because the order of displaying the photos is not consistent from the first time to the second time.  I would like the iPad to always display photos in the order of the ascending sequence of the photo file names.

    When you say that you've followed instructions in other posts, have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over in the correct order ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

    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.

    Yrs,

    Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
    A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
    Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
    Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.

  • Photostream deleting pictures from ipad when it posts a new one, why is this happening?

    photostream keeps deleting pictures from ipad when it posts a new one, why is this happening?

    keeps deleting pictures from ipad
    Where is it deleting the photos from? The Camera Roll? The Photo Stream album?
    Have you exceeded one of the limits? The Photo Stream album will only keep the last 1000 photos and may remove the older photos, if you have more than 1000 photos in the stream.
    See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

  • I tried to update my iPad to iOS7.04, during the process it requires me to connect my iPad to iTunes on my MacBook. Why is this so as I thought the whole update should be done via wifi? When I tried to stop it by force shut down, it couldn't allow me.

    I tried to update my iPad to iOS7.04, during the process it requires me to connect my iPad to iTunes on my MacBook. Why is this so as I thought the whole update should be done via wifi? When I tried to stop it by force shut down and restart the iPad again, it would still require me to connect to iTunes. It seems that there's no other way to go about it, anyone can advise? Thanks.

    Sorry no backup - no pictures.
    Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

  • Hierarchy display Sort Order setting "As in hierarchy" in BEx not working.

    Hi Team,
    We are using SAP BW 7.0
    In a Query the property for Sort Oder of Hierarchy is set as "As in the hierarchy" for WBS_ELEMT.
    Example data as per R3:
    HierarchyID   hierarchyDescription
    4       Four
    2       Two
    1       One
    3       Three
    5       Five
    The setting of sort order by"KEY" with "Ascending" is working fine.
    The setting of sort order by"KEY" with "Descending" is working fine.
    The setting of sort order by"Description" with "Ascending" is working fine.
    The setting of sort order by"Description" with "Descending" is working fine.
    BUT the setting of sort order by "As in the hierarchy" is not effected. 
    In other words, i am able to set it and save & run.  But the result does not have the effect.  It holds the previous setting.
    Is there any pre-requisite to have this setting.
    Please help.
    Regards
    BaaRaa.

    HI Baa Raa,
    This should work, have you tested this on the latest patching by upgrading one machine to :
    gui patch 18 for gui 7.10
    frontend patch 12.01 for 7x tools and gui 7.10
    and
    frontend patch 9 for 3x tools and gui 7.10
    best regards
    Orla.

  • Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    And Apple won't tell you. All they will tell you is what countries are supported for LTE right now. You can express your interest to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    but you will not receive a reply. It may be waiting on Telcel to approve. They may not feel that their LTE network is robust enough to handle that much load yet. But I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.
    Regads.

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.
