My photos are no longer in order by date

How do I put them back?

Well - you have a problem - I recommend fixing it
Given the total lack of information you gave that is all the advice I can give
1 - Always remember the first ruld of iPhoto - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library using the finder - this includes never moving photos from the all images display
2 - when you launch iPhoto exactly what happens?
3 - Excetly what changes have you made using the finder?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?
If its not possible, how do I go back to the old os?

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

After updating with the IOS8 my photos are no longer in an album or photo stream. Any idea how to correct this issue. Hate this new feature.

When I updated my iphone and ipad with the new update IOS 8 my photos are no longer in an album or photo stream. They are in different files with all the dates that they were taken. I hate this feature. Is there any way I can get the photo stream and album back. Why do they make these changes when they just undo all the good things. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for anyone that can help me. It is impossible to reach apple when your device is an older model.

Hey there Trishna51,
It sounds like you are seeing your photos grouped together by date, rather than the view you are used to seeing. From what you are describing, it seems like you are seeing either the Moments, or Collections view in the photos app. You can switch to the Camera Roll view in Albums located at the bottom of the Photos window:

IOS6 issue with Instagram, photos are no longer being saved. yes, I've updated Instagram.

After I updated to the new iOS6, I've found that Instagram photos are no longer being saved to Camera Roll. Anyone else experience this?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
Be sure to Hold the option and command keys down until the first aid screen comes up

All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

One thing, don;t think of them as being imported in any one particular order.
The order of the images is completely fluid, you can change it anytime you want to suit your needs at that particular moment.
As Léonie showed you select the order you want to see the images in by selecting the item you want to sort on in the pull-down.
The only time fluid sort order can be a problem is when you export groups of images. If you put the images into a particular order in Aperture when you export them and view them in the Finder the order they are in may very well be different. In this case you could give names to the images that include a sequence number or index.
Then when they are viewd in the Finder they will be in them same order they were in in Aperture.

My iPhone 6 is full even though my photos are being uploaded to iCloud Photo Library. Any recent photos are no longer being uploaded.

My iPhone 6 is full. I have iCloud Photo Library enabled. Any recent photos are no longer being uploaded and are just drawing down my storage. I have "Optimize Phone Storage" enabled.

Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

My photo album is not in order by date taken

my photo album is not in order by date taken, how do I get it in order?

Thanks, it was set on manual instead of by date (?). Wonder why iphoto help doesn't note that..... Thanks so much for your help.

HELP!! I viewed my "backup" files, and now ALL of my photos are no longer "linked" to Lightroom.

I thought I was missing some files, so I viewed my backup files. I received a "warning" that Lightroom would restart and view my backup files. I did NOT receive any warning, that there was NO GOING BACK!! I've tried everything. I cannot re-link ANY of my photos. Well, I did just do one, and it told me all the other photos in the folder were corrupt and Lightroom would not be able to edit them (and no, it was not an exported .jpeg file). Fortunately, I am not concerned about this folder, that's why I tested it. I was forced to moved all of my photos from my C drive to my D drive because for some weird reason on this computer, my D drive is 5 times bigger and I ran out of room. When I did that, I was able to relink all the pictures. Sadly, it didn't keep my Folders, it just relinked them all by date. That I can deal with, even though it makes finding photos much more difficult, but I wasn't about to try to rename any of them and have to relink again.
Now, I can't relink any of them because it appears in Lightroom that all photos are back in the C drive and therefore, the new photos that I placed on the D drive are not there, and nothing will relink, period, not even the ones that were originally on my C drive!
I have never been so aggravated in my life. I LOVE Lightroom capabilities. I have version 2.3. When I look it up on the online help, all I get is how the photos are in whatever location they were saved, but they are linked, etc. I already know that part. I seriously wish I had NEVER looked at my backup files. I don't think I'll bother backing up stuff anymore because apparently looking at the backup messes up everything.
I fully anticipated that I would be able to go back, choose my folders on my D drive and have all of my current photos available. Sadly, not.
My user name should be FREAKED OUT!

Thanks! I've been practicing deep breathing between yelling at my computer. I use Windows 7. I was in my "regular" Lightroom photos, and I couldn't locate some pictures I took last December. So, I thought, well, why not look at the back up files? I'm normally excellent at remembering exact steps, but I'm so worried about all of my thousands of photos, I can only explain what I think I did. I went into Windows Explorer, and chose the backup files. When I did, I received the warning about Lightroom restarting and loading the backup photos. I hesitated for a full minute, but thought, well, isn't that what backup files are for? So, I selected it. Lightroom opened the backup photos without any problem. But, when I went back, and tried opening the photos that were linked to Lightroom, they were no longer linked. When I click on the formerly linked photos, they just open in Windows Explorer, not Lightroom. When I open Lightroom, it has says all the photos are "missing." All of the folders are listed in my C drive (in Lightroom), not where they'd been moved to on my D drive. The one photo I relinked, stated the photos in that folder could not be edited in Lightroom. So, I'm afraid to try to relink anymore of them. Also, as I said, any photos that I originally imported to my D drive are not showing up in Lightroom at all.
I would say, I normally learn software quickly. That was my experience with Lightroom. I installed it, went through all of the online training sessions, and have loved it. Admittedly, I'm sure there are features that I don't make use of that many people do, but I'm just a passionate photography nut, not a professional.
The online help basically explains the linking, and even how to relink if you "move" a file, a folder to another location. It doesn't cover this, or not where I can find it.
I've think I've given up on yelling at the computer, now I just have knots in my stomach about getting photos relinked. I have probably 80% of them exported, with the adjustments I made, but that does not make me feel one bit better.
Thanks!!!

All of a sudden photos are no longer in a format supported by my iphone!!!

I'm not at home at the moment, we're on holidays in Bangkok and today when I went to open iTunes to sync my phone I got the dreaded, "Your iTunes has expired" - I use my MBP for development.
I went and downloaded the next beta (beta 5) and sync'd away. I added almost 200 new photos, and my free space went from 4.9GB to 5.1GB... ADDING 200 new photos gave me MORE free space!
And there was an error at the end. It told me that "some of your photos including photoxyz" couldn't be syncd because they are in a format not recognised by my iphone. Well, these photos syncd before and were recognised.
I found the photo, a normal enough photo that is syncd to the wifes phone no problem (I wont touch hers for the moment).
I removed all reasons for this photo to sync, resync, and it gives me a new photo id. Same deal, it's on the wifes phone, but wont sync to mine now. I removed all tags to not have this one sync, and on the next sync it gives me another id... Yep, this is on the wifes phone, but will no longer appear on mine.
The phone I am syncing to is NOT a development phone. I've never had this issue before. Is it an iTunes beta5 issue?
Something I have noticed is that the photos are mainly (only in so far that I have checked) photos that are syncing due to being checked in the sync faces area. These are not ones syncd from albums or events, if that makes sense.
1. Any idea what's going on?
2. How can I find out which photos have been removed. Since I addedd 200 photos and I have more free space available, I am guessing that there are AT LEAST 200+ photos now missing from my phone
Apple error messages are ***** at best! A simple log file would solve half my problems, but I'm sure they deliberately don't do that to keep us in the dark. Even paranoid people have real enemies!

I posted this almost a month ago, I'm surpirsed noone else had had this issue...
I don't sync that often (yeah, I know, crusify me), but tonight I went to synchronise again and I got a different photo that wont come over....
In addition to the above:
- the photos are taken with the same camera, on the same date and time as other photos around it...
So "why is it now no longer compatible with iphone4?"????
If I unsync a photo, it just gives me a new photo it can't sync.
Can anyone tell me how to find ALL the photos it can't sync? This is a serious deficiency of iphoto/itunes/sync with iphone...

Photos are displayed in different Order on iPhone, iPad and fotostream. Who knows the algoritm of ordering

Apple support can reproduce the Problem. 10 pictures are displayed in Differenz Order. But Nonne can explanier the algoritm of ordering. Its Not timebased,

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

Upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3 and now photos are no longer in photo book

Hi,
I've recently upgraded my copy of Aperture from version 2 to 3 and after my library had updated everything seemed fine until I looked at a photo book I was working on. It appears that all of the photos that I had placed in the book are no longer there, and I am now left with a blank template.
The album I built up of photos to include is still there, they just aren't arranged on the pages of the book. Has anyone else experienced this, and if they have are there any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

HT201317 since I have down loaded the iOS7 software my photos are no longer up loaded to my laptop. How can I make this start happeing again?

Since I have downloaded the iOS7 software my photos no ,longer automatically sync and upload to my lap top. How can I make this happen again?

Hi missvashenca,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your photos are not appearing on your computer from your iOS device anymore through Photo Stream, I'd first verify that the Photo Stream service is still enabled on your iOS device:
iCloud: Set up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2605
If it is, you may also want to try switching it off and back on again.
Likewise, I would also try this with your computer's Photo Stream settings.
As always, I recommend backing up your photos before performing troubleshooting:

Original photo and edited photo are no longer stacked and appear now as two photo

I have a problem that my edited photos are separated from the original photo so I have two photos side by side. I am afraid to delete the original photo for fear of not being able to open the edited photo but I really do not want to have two photos, one edited photo that looks nice and one unedited photo that is not so nice next to each other in my album. How can I restack these? Also if I bring over the edited photo into Revel will it have the information needed to display the picture?

Photos are show in wrong order

Hello,
I bought an iPod Touch 32 GB because I thought it's a good way to carry my pictures with me.
The problem is that within the folders/albums the pictures are displayed in the wrong order. It's not chronlogically, by name or something else I can identify.
What have I done?
I'm using a XP laptop and my pictures are stored in several folders on a NAS. First I made sure that the pictures were sorted by "picture taken on". Then I selected the picture folder in iTunes and selected several subfolders to be transferred to the iPod. It took a while as we are talking of 15.000 pictures. Some of the folders have 10 or 20 pictures, some of the folders have 200 or even 400 pictures. It's important for me that they will be displayed in a chronological or by name. But I have the feeling that starting from a certain amount of pictures (like 30 or 40) it completely destroys the structure.
What can I do?
I hope I was able to make my point as I'm writing you from Germany and my English is not the best.
Please help me to get this problem solved.

FOUND SOLUTION from another unhappy guy (forgot his name) but he was very kind in posting the solution after he broke his brain trying with the Support team (?)
in any case here is the solution:
1 - in PHOTOS check sync
2 - DO NOT SELECT ANY Folders or files
3 - let the phone do the sync
4 - repeat the sync by selecting the folders you intend to sync
It did worked for me....try
good luck
PS - I wish that the board could be monitored by Apple experts so that they may add valid
solutions to problems rather then us going crazy looking for intelligent reply to questions!
