IPhoto sort order doesn't affect my iPad photos app

I've fallowed the instructions as in other posts but my photos are still in a different order than in iPhoto. Anyone have any similiar problems?

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

Photo sort order is wrong on my ipad

The sort order is fine on my mac mini, but it's not on my ipad ipod touch or my iphone, the photos don't have the correct sequence, they're all messed up...

Sort order where? What verson of iPhoto are you running on your Mac? I understand that the sort order on a phone or iPad is strictly date related and in iPhoto's albums they can be manually, by title, etc.

IPad Photo App that can be used to display photos

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a iPad Photo Application that will allow me to show pictures of my products to a customer instead of using a big bulky workbook. The products would be listed in different categories. Has anyone seen something like this?
Thanks!

Are you brand new to the iPad? The Photos App that comes on the iPad will do that for you. That is exactly what it is - a photo viewing app.
However, you will have to import photos from your computer to your iPad when you sync via iTunes. If you are a new Mac user, you can import photos onto your Mac in iPhoto. You can create albums or events in order to organize the photos before you sync to your computer. The iPad Photos app will not allow you to organize directly on the iPad so that's why you need to organize and categorize the photos before you sync. You can copy the photos to your computer from a flash drive, external hard drive or from your camera with a USB connection that virtually all point and shoot cameras come with when you buy them.
If you are a PC user, there are applications that will do the same thing as iPhoto ... Picasa? I don't know much about PC software but you can do a search and see what's out there.
There are any number of apps in the app store for use with photos, so you can go there and do a search as well and see if there is an app that let's you organize right on the iPad.
I apologize if I am talking down to you and you are aware of this. I merely interpreted your question as a beginner's query. Maybe I am missing your point ...?

Is it possible to load a PDF into the ipad Photos app?

I deal with documents that then have to be sent to a specific site that only accepts .doc, .docx, pdf.
I can't e-mail them, because the site must access iPad so that the documents are correctly received and accounted for.
That site can only access the iPad's Photos, nowhere else.
Is it possible to load one of these three formats into the ipad Photos app?

Thanks Diavonex, but that doesn't work (see my question).
I can easily produces JPGs and load them into Photos, but the site in question can't access them ( it only accepts .doc, .docx, PDF).

IPad Photos app letterboxes 16:9 content

Is there an app that will let me view a 16:9 photo (e.g., 1920x1080 pixels) full screen on my HDTV? The iPad Photos app, when mirroring onto the TV, letterboxes such photos on top and bottom to fit into its screen, and then on the sides as well to fit the TV screen, so I end up with a photo on my TV with black all around. I want the photo to display the full width and height of my TV, since it's already the right shape.
Interestingly, the Photos app will show a 1080p video full screen (i.e., it doesn't simply mirror the iPad screen). I have not yet found an app that will do this for photos.

I discovered that the Photos app does display photos full screen, but only in slide show mode. Unfortunately in that mode you can't manually choose when to change slides. As soon as you swip the screen to advance the slide, it reverts back to plain mirroring.
I checked out several apps that play slide shows, and are designed to specifically display pictures out the HDMI port.

Is there a simple iPad photo app for WIRED tether?

There are a few app such as CamCharger or Nikon WMAU that makse an interesting but cumbersome attempt at a wireless app for tether shooting. But for me I find that wireless is far too unreliable and slow. The time where it would be most useful, i.e., when shooting freehand outdoors, it is pretty much useless. In a studio, having a cord attached to the camera is not a big problem, however. This would allow much faster download of images.
There is one really simple solution that almost gets the job done: Use the iPad photo adapter which allows you to connect the camera to the iPad using the standard USB cable. When the iPad sense that a camera is connected, it automatically opens the iPad Photo app which then shows you thumbnails of everything that gets recorded on your camera SD card. Great, cheap and easy.
The problem is that if you want to actually view that image at normal size you have to select it and click on Import, then go into the Last Import album and view it there.
Does anyone know of a simple little app that automatically downloads and displays the jpeg from the card on the iPad? The basic Photo app is almost there but not quite.
Thanks for any help.
Bo

I did try that, thanks. I found one, FreezeFrame, that does work (with some bugs), but it allows only up to 55 minute intervals. I was hoping to find one with 24 hours maximum interval. I thought maybe I missed something, since it's a little tedious to check each app for the system requirements. Kudos to all the app developers out there for keeping their apps up to date, btw.

IPhoto sort order changes on iPad/iPhone when photos are edited

I have been having issues getting photos to display in the correct order on my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. When I go into an event I want the first photo taken to be at the top and the last at the bottom. I sort by date so that photos taken on different cameras at the same event appear in chronological order and this works very well in iPhoto on my Mac. There is a problem when I sync to my devices though. Sometimes the order on my devices is the same as in iPhoto on my Mac and other times it is not. A recent software update seems to have cured the major issue, but created another. After some experimentation I have discovered that editing a photo changes its position in the sort, even if the adjustment has nothing to do with the date.
I picked a sample event and adjusted the contrast of the first photo. There was no change to sort order on the Mac. I hit sync in iTunes and the photo now displays last on my iPhone. Go back into iPhoto, click on "Revert to Original", sync iTunes again and the photo now displays first again. Seems like a bug to me.

I also have have the same issue and have been on the phone with Apple Care....not much help I'm afraid although I do believe something is broken and requires a fix. Here is what I have found (all software up to date and latest OS BTW)....I have sorted all my pictures by Date, if I want to add a straggler I just alter the original date and all is well within the event. I then "batch change" the event to the tile and event name. So the pictures in the event are named " Holiday 2012 1-xxx. Again, all is well in iPhoto but when sent to an iPad or Apple TV the sort is as siwilson mentioned above. I just discovered a temp work around for events with less than 1000 pictures, if I sort by Title I can get them to show correctly on the ATV and iPad. Now what was/is interesting is somethimes they would sort correct and sometimes not. It turns out that if you sort the event by Title and quit iPhoto and reopen it....it has reverted back to sort by Date. It does that everytime. So what I do is turn home sharing off in iTunes (forces it to look at the photos again), open an iPhoto event and sort by Title. Then I turn home sharing on in iTunes (leaving iPhoto open) and sync my iPad. If I want ot stream photos to my ATV I must leave iPhoto open so the sort remains as I set it. If I want to retain the correct sort this is what I need to do each time. So this is a bandage for me until they fix things. One final about pictures over 1000.....it sorts them as mentioned above with another twist, numbering goes 0001, 1000, 1001, 1002 etc. @#$% why can't they just sort the way iPhoto presents them?

IPhoto - sort order

I can not get my new iPad 3 to work with iPhoto
The sort order is NOT date and NOT by name
I have tried to change on iMac to date and then sync
But nothing ocuurs on iPhoto - iPad3
How do I get a proper sort order for occasions?
Anyone know?

I found a solution for the events remaining in the same order as in iphoto 9.1.1. After leaving the events in the order you want in iPhoto, edited the date and time information (exif file) of the first picture of each event. For example, I have ordered several events manually in iPhoto. I got in first and put the first photo of the first event to date 01/01/1958 12:00:00 by Pictures menu> Adjust Date and Time. In the second event to repeat the same process, and changed the date for the first photo to 01/01/1959 12:00:00. And so adding one year to each event to the last. After this change, re-syncronize all events with iphone4 and events were in the same order that had set in iphoto 9.1.1. This is because the iphone4 with IOS 4.2.1 uses the information contained in the EXIF photo files and sort by this information. I hope helped with this tip, which worked for me. When I add a new event, I have to sync your entire library again.

IPhoto - sort order mixed up!

I am on Yosemite and and all the latest updates. The other day my Macbook Pro would not wake so i had to "hard" reboot. I had iPhoto opened when this happened. When i rebooted iPhoto had to repair/rebuild database. NOW, the Order-By-Date is all mixed up. Goes from 2008, 2004, 2009, 2005, 2012, 2006 and so on - any idea's on how to fix thins? The dates are correct on the photo's, but they are all out of order.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Stev

Use the View ➙ Sort menu option in the view that you're using in iPhoto to change the type of sort and sort order to your liking:

Maintaining iPhoto sort order when sending to iDVD

Hello - I have a few iPhoto Events I'd like to put on a DVD as separate chapters.
However, the sorting order I set when viewing Events (using the title) is not preserved when I send them to iDVD. iDVD seems to get them sorted by file name.
A work-around is to export the slides by title (not file name) then re-import them into iDVD but this takes time and brain power.
Is there a faster way to preserve the viewing order when sending iPhoto Event pictures to iDVD?
All help gratefully received.
David.

David,
Create an Album in iPhoto (one for each slideshow) and arrange it the way you want. The Media Pane in iDVD should see the Albums and let you select one. You can drag a whole album into the Slideshow creation window and iDVD will import it, preserving the album order.
Regards.

Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works. I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong! I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). I've enabled iCloud Drive on both. iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends. iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud. I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one.
So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled. However, it doesn't seem to work. The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
I've just done the following test:
I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
A minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream. So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen. If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself. Am I right? Why only 37?
On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos. I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
Can anyone help? If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
Thank you!

Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally

Photos Out of Sequence in Sub-Folders in iPad Photos App

I use my iPad when working with ballplayers. Specifically, I use the Photos app with sub-folders for each set of photos. I have tens of thousands of photos in a hundred or so folders. It's very important that the photo albums be in numerical order (the photos are all named numerically).
This used to work just fine, but now I am finding that, in more and more cases, photos are out of sequence.
I upgraded my iPad specifically for this function, and it's making me look unprofessional and is forcing me to have to explain around the glitches.
Is there any way to control how the Photos app sorts photos and ensure that photos are sorted by the file name and number?
This bug is on the verge of turning a valuable tool into little more than a toy.
P.S. The issue may be related to folders that have a larger number (e.g. 100-200+) of photos in each folder.

Everyone please report this to Apple; you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Right now, there's no dropdown selection for iOS 8, but I selected "iOS 7.1.2" and wrote this in the comments after describing the issue: "I am using iOS 8, but there's not dropdown selection for iOS 8 on the following question, so I picked iOS 7.1.2.." Also, for me, the Submit button wasn't there, but it is located to the right of where it says, "Please read Apple’s Unsolicited Idea Submission Policybefore you send us your feedback."
Hopefully the more people that report this, the more quickly they will fix this.

IPhoto Events with video only not showing in Photos.app with iOS 4.2.1

I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3GS and when I open the Photos.app the videos and the event with the videos in do not show. I have created a new video on the iphone, synched ok with IPhoto but re-sycnhing with iPhone again does not show videos in Photos.app
Has anyone found a fix for this bug?

The same thing happened to me. I was on a mission yesterday to fix it, but didn't get it to work. I have 1 more thing i want to try... but haven't had a chance.
Has anyone fixed this?
My plan is to unsync photos to remove them from my phone, delete all the photo cache information from the iPhoto Library package, empty the trash, reboot my computer AND iPhone, open iPhoto to make sure they're sorted correctly, and then sync my phone. If that doesn't fix it... i dont know, i might call Apple.

2 questions re: ipad Photo app

1. I have synced all of my events from iphoto to the photos app on my ipad. For some reason the events folders, which I have all renamed in iphoto, do not present in alphabetical order on my ipad. For example, "Wedding" comes before "Christmas" with "Halloween" in between and so on. Is it possible to get these to show up in alphabetical order on my ipad, as they are in iphoto?
2. Is it possible to look at my photos on my ipad and "rate" them (for example, give one photo one star, another one two stars, and another one five stars, etc), or does such rating have to be done in iphoto on my iMac?
Thanks!

I don't think there's any particular effort made to mirror iPhoto in the iPad's Photos app. The main complaint now, from most users, is that the current OS install only has the date-ordered, oldest-first display option available.

Windows Application that syncs to iPad Photos app?

We gave my mother an iPad for Christmas. One of the things I know she wants to do with it is share her photos with people. The problem is, she's on Windows so no iPhoto to give her a means to organize all those pictures.
Because of this, they are in countless folders and sub-folders. iTunes doesn't seem to offer a very good means as selectively syncing those photos where I imagine it's support for an app like iPhoto is much better for obvious reasons.
I guess what I'm wondering is whether or not there is an app for Windows that would serve the same basic function as iPhoto and be compatible with an iPad? Now, that may mean it's something iTunes can work with directly the way it would iPhoto or it might mean there's a corresponding app on the iPad that the program syncs photos to.
I'm open to ideas here. The only thing I doubt she'd want to do is upload all her photos to the internet. For one, there are a great many of them and two she always has concerns about privacy.
Any recommendations you all can make, whether it's apps to try or just simply methods for making this whole system work better, please share them.
Two things I would add is she's using XP and she does have the iPad Camera Kit.

I discovered that the Photos app does display photos full screen, but only in slide show mode. Unfortunately in that mode you can't manually choose when to change slides. As soon as you swip the screen to advance the slide, it reverts back to plain mirroring.
I checked out several apps that play slide shows, and are designed to specifically display pictures out the HDMI port.
