Ordering photos in sub-folders

Just unpacked my shiny new ipod and was quite excited to use it to show pics (new father and all that). Everything worked beautifully and I was able to get all the photos on but unfortunately it seems the iPod only recognizes one level of folders. is there any way to fix this? like many people i have thousands of pictures in hundreds of folders... anyone have work arounds???
Many thanks

Also, I tried copying the full quality images and only about half copied. Is there any sort of limit or is there a naming convention problem when copying files from the PC to the iPod (like long file names causing problems?).
Thanks again

  • Syncing Photos Loses Sub-Folders

    I am becoming very frustrated with Apple. I have been trying for some time to sync photos on my PC to my iPad3.  Regardless of what I try, the iPad ends up with the photos in sub-folders  being bundled up in the first level folders.  For example: if I have 24 folders, each with sub-folders holding photos, I end up with 24 folders holding all of my 6600 photos, with no sub-folders.  Where is the logic in this??
    To date I have bought 3 third-party apps which claim to be able to help, but they are either useless or make it difficult to view photos in a sensible way.

    That is how the Photos app currently works, it doesn't support sub-folders/albums, it only works to the one level - any photos that you have in sub-folders will be synced over to the parent folder's album. You can try leaving feedback for Apple via this page and maybe in a future iOS update it will change : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Syncing photos with sub folders

    Hi
    Is there any way to sync my photo exactly like them on my pc?
    i have a photo folder and many sub folders , each sub folder contains more sub folders
    and on my iphone my sub folders merge and they all displayed in one folder

    I also have the same problem.
    With itunes on windows and an Iphone 3g, I can only sync the first level, so all subdirectory folders appear in the top one.
    This means that for example my holidays snaps are all together, which is a real pain to find anything.
    I know that using a Mac with iphoto I can do this, but I dont have a Mac.
    I have also tried using Photoshop elements 7 and 8 but it only allows the transfer of everything (obviously I want to sync just the ones I want - to save space).
    A faq I found said that photoshop elements and album work, but only a very early release of these. Otherwise you get everything.
    thoughts or suggestions?
    Will apple ever provide iphoto or support a windows tool such as the latest elements 8 or picasa 3.5
    Regards

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • 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.

  • I have mac version 10.10.1 yosemite.Using LR3. I exported 7 sub folders from LR to an external hard drive in order to free up space on my mac hd.

    encountered two problems:
    1. instead of seeing the 7 sub folders in the external drive, all the images are out of order, entirely scrambled. when I open LR3 however, the contents of these folders are greyed out and show 0 images. I can see the question mark next to the image saying it is located elsewhere (i.e. on the external hd)If I plug in the external hd I can open the images and edit in CS5, but as I said it 's like finding a needle in the haystack.
    2. no new space shows up on my mac hd even though that was the reason I made the export.
    is there a way to fix this? I have a different external hd that backs up LR. Currently it is not plugged in. I am afraid to plug it in because it will take the new LR configuration and I'd lose any  option to correct the problem. I also , on the same (different) hd I have Time Machine backup. would that help to fix the problem and bring back the organization I previously had with the 7 subfolders. All that organization is currently lost,i.e. show as greyed out 0 content in LR on my mac hd and shows as scrambled on the external hd.
    Can I fix this??

    zarowin, you want to move the files. Not export them! See here: Move folders around in Lightroom | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tutorials. There are two ways to do that. One is to move the folders inside Lightroom to your external HD, the other is to move them in the finder and reconnect the folders afterwards using the tips in the link dj linked to above. Also, you really should upgrade your Lightroom. LR 3 is not fully Yosemite compatible. I think the problems are mostly cosmetic though.
    Periodically I get a prompt in lr asking if I want to back up lr and I have been consistent about doing so. At this point however, since those out of order images have be “exported”  (am I using the right word??) to the second external hd, into a folder without subfolders, (hence the scrambling effect), if I were to plug in the external hd that is my backup drive (for time machine as well as for lr), won’t it be backing up the mistake I made by not using subfolders ongto the other external drive, thereby compounding the problem?
    This warning has nothing to do with Time Machine. It is Lightroom's own backup. Every week or so, it will generate a backup Library that you can revert to in the case of trouble. In fact,  you can usually safely delete the very old ones but keep them from the last month or so. Look for them in a folder called "Backups" right next to your main catalog file (probably in your Pictures folder). Be sure to only throw away the oldest backups. If you have never done this and have a large catalog with 10's of thousands of images you probably have easily 100 GB of these backups. Just calculate how much space you are wasting if you started doing this around LR 3, several years of backup catalogs at a frequency of once a week, and a typical catalog size of 1.5 GB (my main catalog is over 2GB).
    Lastly, Time Machine backup doesn't overwrite older versions. It keeps versions around of all your catalog files (including the backups!).

  • After syncing Pc-Ipad my Photo's are out of order. In the folders they don't follow the Date-order. I use Itunes 10.6.1.7 and Ipad 5.1. The Problem is the same with XP and Windows 7.

  • Importing existing folders and sub folders of photos into photoshop organiser 9

    I have over 10,000 photos nicely organised in folders and sub folders in Bridge CS3 and want to migrate over to photoshop elements and use their organiser so I have everything in one place. However, when I try to import the photos, it brings them in as individual photos and not in their folders. It seems like I need to recreate a load of albums and then drag and drop the photos into them. I don't have time to recreate hundreds of album names to replicate my system as it is. Is there any way round this or should I be looking at a different system altogether?
    Thank you for any advice on this.

    ... should I be looking at a different system altogether?
    If your entire organizational goals are to continue to use your "nicely organised" folders, then why bother with the PSE Organizer in the first place? You have extra work (must import the photos) and more limitations (must do all photo management inside of the PSE Organizer), and its hard to see any benefit from using the PSE Organizer. You won't achieve any "better organization" than what you have now.
    If your goals are to use PSE tools to organize (tags, captions notes), in addition to (or as a replacement for) your folder organization, then the PSE Organizer can be very useful.

  • File (photo) management.  Need to create folders and sub-folders

    1. How do I manage thousands of photos when I can't create sub-folders under folders?
    2. How do I rename photos once they have been downloaded to Ipad?
    3. How do I download all my photos on Idisk to the Ipad?
    Is there an App to help with this? I am stunned this expensive device doesn't seem to have basic file management capabilities.
    Thank you for any direction you can provide.

    There a a few apps that will help with this (I have yet to try them).

  • Getting Photo Stream to access sub-folders

    Is there a way to get iCloud/Photo Steam to recognize subfolders under the "Upload" folder?  I don't just dump photos under the upload folder, I import photos by date taken and they get their own folder based on date.  If i need to the "Upload" folder to be for a specific date then that really limits the amount of photos I will have access to via iCloud.  Please help if you can.
    Thanks,

    Did you ever solve this issue with sub-folders?  I am trying to make it work, seems like it just doesn't which is an unfortunate limitation for incorporating a PC into the eco-system.

  • My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

    My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

    On iOS 6 the photos are copied over (from here) in date modified order. So you will either need to amend the photo's on your computer so that their modified dates are in your required order, or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which allow you to change an album's sort order within the app e.g. by date, size, or by dragging them into your own sort order.

    When restoring Time Machine after a failure, does it also restore the files to the same order, for example - within iPhoto I have pics/ videos in folders and sub folders organised as family/events etc - will it go back to this exact order after a restore?

    Hi Stavros0203,
    When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Apple tv 2.2 wont sync sub-folders of photos

    Since I've updated the atv to 2.2, my photos that are organized into sub-folders within a folder won't sync.
    i like to keep my photos out of iPhoto, nicely organized into one Photos folder with one subfolder for each album. Till 2.1, i could goto iTunes -> Apple TV -> Photos tab, select the main Photos folder there and all the subfolders containing photos would show up. I could select all and the subfolders would sync to Apple TV. With 2.2 , this doesn't happen. I have all the options in iTunes but when i sync, it just shows Syncing and nothing happens. If i select one of the subfolders directly that contains photos, it syncs. That means 2.2 won't sync from sub-folders!! for me, it renders the device useless !
    Is there a way to revert back to 2.1 ?

    I am also having the same problem. My original Apple TV was version 1. The earlier version of this ATV and Itunes was able to sync photos in nested or sub folders direct from the hard drive and not using any photo program. I upgraded to 2.2 and kept the old files on my ATV and did not sync to Itunes for a long time but when I decided to sync all of my nested photo folders on the ATV were deleted and I could not re sync. I spoke to apple care support today and was advised the programming was not set up to read from sub folders. However Itunes and the apple TV directions say otherwise. I suggested to Apple they consider fixing the programming to follow what Itunes and the ATV manuals say. This is a very desired feature to have.

  • The last few times I imported photos, the backup location was set to "documents" with no sub-folders. How do I get them into sub-folders - like year and month?

    Use the Subfolder pulldown to set the subfolders:

  • When importing photos it always creates sub folders.  I do NOT want that.

    How do I stop it from creating sub folders every time I import photos?
