Organise photos within Album in iPhoto on iPad

Yesterday I purchased the iPhoto app for my iPad, this is due to someone recommending it to me as an easy option of presenting artwork as a portfolio. I have a batch of JPEGs in an album that I want to display in a certain order, so I named them for example 'iPad app_p01' 'iPad app_p02' and so on. But when I synced the album into iPhoto on the iPad the photos are in a random order and the only option I have is to view them by newest or oldest, no option for by name.
Please can someone help me, this seems like a really obvious option to include in a photo app.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The iPad only sorts by date, and the date is the "date modified", so if you change the version name, you are modifying the date.
I have not tried it myself, but this post looks promising: Re: How do I sort events in iPhoto for iOS?

How can I rearrange photos within album in iPhoto 9.5

I used to be able to do this in older iphoto applications. I have gone to View and checked manual and I still cannot arrange the photos within an albun manually.

In an album you simply drag the photos where you want them - that is one reason to use albums for organization rather than events

How can I print (into a physical book) a photo journal created by iPhoto using iPad?

How can I print (into a physical book) a photo journal created by iPhoto using iPad?

I think I worked out a clunky but workable way to do this. There is an app for iPad called PhotoSync. It is not free for the iPad but free for computers you want to sync with. Install it. When you edit photos in iPhoto on your iPad make sure to save them to Camera Roll. PhotoSync will take the edited pictures from your iPad that have been saved into Camera Roll and will move them to your computer in batch (so long as it is on the same wireless network) where you merely import them into iPhoto or whatever software you use, and you can build a book for print. The secret is to save the pictures into Camera Roll as you edit them, there is no batching function into camera roll, so doing it afterwards is tedious. It actually works quite simply and because PhotoSync is free for computers, you can transfer photos to any computer that has downloaded the free software that is on the same wireless network - works great to get pictures to kids' or spouses computers.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

How can I sort my photos within albums on the iPad? Apple software *****!

The primary reason I got an iPad was to use it as a portfolio of my photography. How is it possible that with Apple software you can't easily sort photos in a custom order within albums?!? I've heard there is a way to use Dropbox to work around (ignore) Apple software. Any help? If Apple engineers are reading this, can you please address this? And can we not use something called iTunes to work with pictures? No sense here.

It's a lot easier with Photo Manager Pro.

How do you delete a photo or album in iPhoto on an iPad?

I want to delet some photos on iPhoto on my iPad. How do I do it?
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

Vernon,
how did you create your album or import your photos to iPhoto?
Not all photos and albums can be deleted iPhoto. If you synced the photos from your Mac, they can only be dleted by removing them from the synced albums on your Mac and syncing again. Only photos taken with your device can be deleted directly from your device using the Photos.app. Photos in the edited album, or tagged albums will be removed from these albums by removing the tags.
Delete photos
Depending on how your photos and video clips were added to iPhoto, do one of the following:
Photos and video clips taken with your device: Open the Photos app on your device, tap Camera Roll, tap to select the photos, and tap .
Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Photos in the Beamed, Photo Box, iTunes, or [App] album: Tap a photo, tap (tap Edit if you don’t see the tool), tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete.
Regards
Léonie

Albums in iPhoto on ipad

I am using iPhoto on my iPad. How can you create an Album in iPhoto? I can share, email, creat journals, etc....but how can I take photos uploaded on my iPad sitting in photo stream, and creat an album out of them?

Greetings Ted,
Albums are created in the Photos.app, not in iPhoto. Once you make an Album in Photos.app it will show up in iPhoto. See page 48 of your iPad manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Hope that helps.

Organizing photos within albums alphabetically or numerically

My photos are organized on my computer alphabetically or numerically, but when they sync to my iPad they become jumbled inside the albums. How can I get them back in order?

On iOS 5+ they are sorted by the 'date modified' field - so you either need to manipulate their date modified fields, or you could consider using a third-party photo management app such as Photo Manager Pro which allows you to sort your photos within it by filename or date (ascending or descending), type, or you can drag them into your own sort order

Can i modify albums with Iphoto on Ipad?

Hello,
I am planning to use a Mac Mini with my IPhoto library as well as an IPad for browsing my photos.
Is it possible, on the IPad with the IPhoto App to create, edit delete albums and photos ? or can i only view photos ?
Many thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
Jean-Baptiste

I have found this on Apple web site about iOS5 features...
Enhanced photo enhancements.
Turn your snapshots into frame-worthy photos in just a few taps. Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye without leaving the Photos app. Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device. With iCloud, you can push new photos to all your iOS devices. So if you’re taking photos on your iPhone, iCloud automatically sends copies to your iPad, where you can quickly touch them up before showing them off.
Seems that organizing photos in albums will be avail in next iOS version...
Anybody to confirm?
Regards,
Jean-Baptiste

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPad w/ new version of iTunes.

In the last version of iTunes you were able to select the albums that you wanted to sync from iPhoto and now I can't find it in the new version. Please help!

Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library Beta on your iPad in the Settings > iCloud > Photos ? Then syncing Photos using iTunes Photo Sync will be disabled. If you want to sync your iPhoto Library using iTunes disable iCloud Photo Library Beta on the iPad, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Otherwise syncing photos from iPhoto and selecting albums in iPhoto will work as before.

Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Who creates the Photo Box album in iPhoto iOS 7.1?

I just noticed an album in iPhoto iOS 7.1 that is titled "Photo Box." How is it created?

It is one of the automatically created albums, see this help page:
What are albums? http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkb9b1e2a
Photo Box: If a photo appears in an album (Edited, Favorites, Journals, or custom) and you delete the photo from your device, the photo remains in the album. If you remove the photo’s edits and tags, or delete the photo from the journal, iPhoto moves the photo to the Photo Box album (and removes it from the album it was in). If you edit or tag a photo in the Photo Box album, or add it to a journal, the photo is removed from the Photo Box album (and added to the appropriate album).
Basically, iPhoto keeps photos in this album, if they are needed for products.
