iPhoto:  How can I sort photos within an event.  I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

  • How do you reposition photos within an event

    How do you reposition photos within an event? I've tried dragging them over to the spot I want them in, but they do not stay where I put them. Yet, when I want to reposition photos within albums I have made, they drag over without a problem.

    That is correct - events are basic and time based and photos can not be manually moved within them - albums are logical grouping and photos can be moved manually - that is exactly how it works

  • How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
    You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
    If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

  • I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also.  I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

  • Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

    Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
    All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
    Please help.

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • Sorting photos within an event

    I'm trying to find a way to rearrange my photos within an event. According to the instructions in help:
    Sort photos within Events (but not the Events themselves): Select Photos in the Source list, choose View > Event Titles, and then choose View > Sort Photos.
    Trouble is, when I try to choose Event titles, it is grayed out. If I go to the event and then select view>sort photos, manually is grayed out and by date and desending are checked.
    Anyone have a suggestion.

    Did you read the answer?
    Events are a very limited form of organising. They are sorted on date and time only. If you want more flexibility then you need to use Albums, where there a virtually no limitations.
    That is the answer! You can not sort photos within events.

  • Is it possible to upload an entire photo album from my iPad to Facebook? I can upload photos one at a time, but cannot figure out how to share an entire album.

    Is it possible to share an entire photo album from my iPad on Facebook? I can share photos one at a time, but cannot figure it how to share an entire album.

    Not direct with the FaceBook app, but there are some 3rd party photo uploading apps that work in conjunction with FaceBook allowing the upload of multiple photos at once. Check an app named iLoader for this.

  • How do i delete photos off icloud. i cant seem to find out how! help!

    how do i delete photos off icloud?

    iCloud is only used to sync photos between devices. It's not a "home" for them where you can view them on the web.

  • Is there an easy way to download my music from the iCloud to iTunes library on my new PC desktop so I can sync my iPod?  I have iMatch and cannot figure out how to do it in one fell swoop rather than by downloading each song, which will take forever!

    Hi,
    I have taken over my son's old PC desktop tower as it has more memory than my old PC.  I installed iTunes on it and have accessed via my iMatch account my music library that's in the iCloud.  I need to download it to the iTuned library on the desktop so I can sync my iPod.  I can only see how to do it song-by-song, which will take forever for my almost 5000 songs.  Is there a way to dowload the entire library in one fell swoop, letting it download without me having to do each song individually or monitor it?
    Thanks,
    RSG

    Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

  • Arrange Photos within an event

    How do I rearrange photos within an event?
    I can move photos between events and arrange photos in slideshows
    but not within an event - they stay in the order they were imported.
    Can anyone help please?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    How do I rearrange photos within an event?
    You can not - events are time based and you can not move tehphotos - you could change the times of the photos to match the order you want but I suggest that you leave the events the way they are and use albums for the specific order organization you want
    I can move photos between events and arrange photos in slideshows
    but not within an event
    That is correct
    - they stay in the order they were imported.
    They stay in the time date order of the EXIF data from your camera (if there was no EXIF data then the import date and time is used)
    In Photo view of the library (as opposed to event view - select in the source pane to the left) you can turn off displaying event titles and then manually sort your photos - but this does not change their order in the events and if you have many photos will make response time very slow - normally it is not the way to go

  • My ipod touch syncs no problem, I cannot figure out how to get my playlists or songs to stay on my ipod. I can get them onto itunes from my computer. I know how through homeshare but then they disappear as soon as I turn off the comp obviously. Thanks:)

    Thanks in advance for your patience and time with a newbie:)  I can sync my ipod touch to itunes no problem, I figured out how to get my music from my computer onto an itunes playlist, my problem is how to get it to stay on my ipod. I made the mistake of using home sharing which of course turned out to be useless as soon as I turned my computer off, within minutes my ipod library disappeared. I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again

    I figured it out, thanks anyways

    Hi,
    It may be that you will need to 'reset' Internet Explorer, but you can certainly check if this issue is being caused by an add-on as follows.
    Click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, open System Tools and click on 'Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)'.  See if Internet Explorer now runs correctly.
    Let me know.

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.
