IPhone Photo Management

Hello,
when I connect my iPhone to WinPC, I go on the explorer to copy photos and I see a bunch of confuding subfolders (85XG7 , 956G8, ...), where I have to search for latest photo. Can I get rid of this and having only one, as it was in former times.
What is the sorting mechanism of iTunes synchronized photo albums? I named my images from 001 to n and removed exif tags " Maker" and "Model ". Still on iPhone I see disordered photos and have to search.
The photo app has photos under a " moments " view. Here the photos are sorted by time and place. In about 70 % of the synchronized Photos fits it. The rest is on the day of the synchronization and an arbitrary place . What metadata is queried?
Is it possible to sort photo albums by date (named like 20140401 xxx) and have the newest on on top?
The good the usability of iOS is, the photo management is cumbersome
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1 , iTunes 11.1.5.5, Windows 7

Can do all that with the syncing process.

Photo managing on iphone 3g 2.2 ?

is there any application i can install on my iPhone 3g 2.2 that i can delete photos from iPhone directly and put them in albums?
Thnaks

The only photos you can delete from your iPhone are photos that were captured by your iPhone.
Photo folders or albums are created on your computer and transferred to your iPhone and removed from your iPhone via the iTunes sync process only. Photo management of such photos - creating new albums, transferring photos from one album to another, and deleting such photos cannot be done on the iPhone - just as you can't delete music from your iPhone.

Manage iPhone photos from iphoto

Is ot possible to manage my iphone photos from iphoto 11? With out having to download them all? Is photo stream available on iphotot 11?

no - you can not manage the iPhone photos from your Mac
Yes you have to download them to the Mac - either Sync or PhotoStream
Yes PS is available for some versions of iPhoto - it requires
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later

How can I specify a default directory on my external drive, for iPhone photos to be imported to on Macbook Air?

I use both a PC as well as my Macbook Air and when I sync my iPhone with my PC (I connect the phone to PC) my phone (or is it my computer)? knows to import my photos and videos to a specific directory/folder on my external hard drive (I am able to tell my PC which folder to import my photos and videos to). For example, it imports all photos and videos to the external drive and organises the photos and videos by date (it creates a separate folder for each date the photos/videos were taken; I had to tell my PC to import to the default directory (external drive) when I did this for the first time, and it now creates a new folder for each date which is useful for keeping photos organised, etc.
I'd like to be able to do the same thing, using my Macbook Air, i.e., when I connect my iPhone to the Macbook air, I want my Macbook Air to know to import my photos to my external hard drive; is this possible? I am not familiar with the photo programmes on the Macbook air, but to be honest, I don't want to use them for this; I just want my photos and videos on my iPhone to import to the same folder when I use my Macbook air to sync, as when I use my PC to sync (I use my PC at work and have my Macbook at home). I'd like to be able to sync my phone when at home and not have to wait till I get to work, etc.
Many thanks for any help you can provide...

Yes there are many, but the question is why won't the new folder create on the drive?
What format is it?
I think you've not grasped what iPhoto is. Have a read of these
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Though dealing with different topics, they explain some of the background and the differences between what you're looking for (file management) and what iPhoto does (photo management).

Photo Management through Dropbox and without iPhoto

Good evening,
I have finally made the jump back from iPhone to BB and i'm loving it. Go Blackberry!!!
The ability to port some apps from android has bridged most of the gaps from the store.
My biggest show stopper right now is getting dropbox to sync my photos and for blackberry link not to use iPhoto to sync photos with my computer. I would like to select a folder of pictures that i want synced and select a folder where i want the new camera to be synced.
Does anyone have any tricks that i could use to facilitate my photo management through dropbox and BBLink? If these are features being worked on I'd appreciate to get an idea how long it will take to get it.
Thank you very much and happy holidays.

1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should go for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
If your client wish to go for postive time management it is must for you create interface either you willing to say or not.
Without that interface you can't do time positive time management
2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
I belive this needs some third party tool to intract with PDC. then you have use time evaluation status TMSTA 1 according to PDC
I belive it bit differnt from what you are looking for.
please tell me what kind of time terminal your client is using at the moment?
Best Regards

HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on). But getting the photos back from a backup is risky. Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned. icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album). You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

ITunes no longer ordering iPhone photos by name

In order to upgrade from iOS5 to 6 i had to go from iTunes 10.6.2 to 10.7; since doing so first of all only half of my photos would sync at all (1,898 out of 4,7xx) and finally (after removing all of my music) it transferred them all only to re-sort them all by date instead of name...
Is this a bug or a 'feature'? (I seem to remember iTunes 10.6.3 introduced a similar bug, despite claiming in the release notes that it was fixing one)
If it is the latter then it is a rather annoying one, and i wish to know how to return to sorting by name.
If you're going to change something as major as the way all photos are ordered, then why not provide an option for it? One dropdown box in settings? a toggle? anything!
Instead of being able to group similar photos with a naming convention, my photos are now being ordered effectively at random. (and there is no way i'm going to through nearly five thousand photos and mess around with the date data just so i can fix what Apple have broken.)
So does anyone know how to fix it back to name sorting? I can't downgrade iTunes as it won't recongise my library file now that it's been modified by a newer version... I'm not using iPhoto to sync (or at all for that matter), just choosing a folder within the sync options in iTunes, so it isn't that messing with it...
I've tried unsyncing and resyncing photos, i've tried removing and rebuilding the 'ipod photo cache' (i had to do this a number of times just to get them to sync in the first place) and nothing is working.
Oh, and yes i have seen the Apple support article "iOS: Understanding photo sorting" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221) and it is incorrect. It claims that under iOS4 and upwards photos are sorted by date, which is simply not true.
My iPhone photos were sorted by name for the whole time i had iOS5, and either iOS6 or iTunes 10.7 has changed this.
For reference, I'm using a blacbook running Snow Leopard, iTunes 10.7 (now) and an iPhone 4 running iOS6 (now).

I manage photos on both a PC and a Mac using folders for the photos and ITunes (10.7.0.21) to synch to my IPad (IOS 5.1.1) and my wifes iPad (IOS 5.1.1). In this process, I have suffered through Apple photo sort changes by date taken, file name, and now, under iTunes 10.7.0.21 something weird. I have been twice to the Genius Bar with no success. Here is a test that I ran with PC Windows 7, iTunes (10.7.0.21) and my iPad (IOS 5.1.1).
I created a Test 1 Folder with five photos. Here is a simplification of the test folder. The File Name and Date Taken were set so that they would sort in reverse order. Note File E has the earliest Date Taken and File A has the latest date taken. I am using simple integers instead of dates here for simpliciity. The Display Order shows the photo order as seen on my iPad. This order reflects an ascending Date Taken order. This is a change that was introduced with iTunes 10.7.0.21).
File Name     Date Taken     Display Order
A                             5                     5
B                             4                     4
C                             3                     3
D                             2                     2
E                             1                     1
Now, I created a new test folder and then copied the contents from the above folder using the following copy sequence: C, D, B, A, E. I then used iTunes to synch this new folder to my iPad. I was surprised to see the Display Order exactly reflect the copy order I had used. In other words, the iTunes & iPad combo now did not use Date Taken as the sort order for this new folder.
Then, I did another synch and found that the Display Order was now by Date Taken. Yikes!!!
This inconsitent behaviour is a BUG. Apple needs to fix the iTunes & IOS software to deliver consistent IOS display order under all circumstances of file addition, deletion, etc to a folder. It would be better if they offerred sort options under IOS but I would still be wildly happy if Apple would fix the current bugs and then stick with the sort order instead of changing it.

IPhone Photos app

Help! I really don't understand photos on my iPhone.
In the Photos app:
What is the difference between the "Photos", "Shared" and "Albums" tabs?
And then in the tab "Albums" what is the difference between "Camera Roll", "My Photo Stream"?
And then I have the app iPhoto which seems to have the same content as "Albums" as the Photos app without "Panoramas" and "Video".
Anyone able to help end my confusion!
With many thanks folks.

Hello Aspinalls,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about photo management in iOS. I have linked to the iPhone User Guide, which contains useful information regarding photos:

Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Why can't i edit my iPhone photos

I just gathered together my vacation pictures, from a photographer, my point&shoot and from 2 iPhones. For some reason, in iPhoto - I am not able to edit the iPhone photos. It gives me an error message saying that they are not editable... ugh! why?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.

Yes it is a bug
Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
