Organizing Albums in iPhoto on the iPad/iPhone

I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5, and prefer to have my photos arranged by Albums, Not "events"  But in iPhoto on these, when I look at the album view it arranges the albums alphabetically, whereas I want to  have them arranged by topic - the topic organization I choose.
I edit and create the albums in iPhoto on my Mac, and have them organized the way I want there.  Why doesn't it keep that arrangement of the albums?  I can't find out any way to rearrange them the way I want them.
Why can't we organize things the way we want?
By the way, it is much easier to edit and organize o nthe mac, with its bigger screen and extra screens. 
Also, is there a way to have Photos, or iPhoto (on the iPad & iPhone) access the keywords and titles I have given them in iPhoto on the Mac?
Thanks

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Does anyone have a sticky iPhone since upgrading to ios8? Scrolling is rough in iTunes (horizontal album covers) and on the iPad it's much worse with photo and video albums! iPhone5s and iPad3 retina displays.

    Lots and lots of questions
    The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
    https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

  • Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

    Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
    It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
    The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
    When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
    I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
    When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
    Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
    I look forward to you help and advice
    Mark

    Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
    I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
    I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
    I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
    Any thoughts?
    Regards
    Mark
    PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

    You are welcome.
    Sorting and organizing photos on IOS devices is one of the things that really need to be improved. It looks like the developers simply did not expect the users to want to keep large photo libraries on an IOS device, where the ordering would matter. I'd send feedback to the developer team, so that they see, what the users want and need:

  • How do I delete photo albums in iphoto on my ipad?

    How do I delete albums in iphoto on my iPad?

    Photos or albums are not deleted in iPhoto for iOS since
    iPhoto for iOS uses the photos stored in the Photos app.
    You can delete photos stored in the photos app that were taken by the iPad, copied from websites, received via photostream or received in an email directly on the iPad.
    To delete albums copied to the iPad during a sync with your computer you need to do another sync. Once your iPad is connected to your computer deselect the albums in the Photos tab of iTunes that you no longer want on the iPad and then click on Apply or Sync.

  • Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App

    Hi
    I have been waiting for the airport utility for iPad/iPhone to come as I frequently travel with just my iPad and Airport Express. However, I have been unable to configure it when away from home.
    So, Apple has released a utility but it appears to be the most important feature for being on the road, that is, the ability to switch connection sharing (so you can hook up to a hotel system).
    Is it that I can't find it or it doesn't allow you to do it. In the iPad app, I am looking for the ability to switch between bridge mode and the other two.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Tesserex, thanks for the comment . Can you point to where in the utility I cna figure it to
    Share a public IP address
    Distribute a range of IP addresses, or
    Be off in Bridge mode?
    Thanks,I can't work it out.

    The AirPort Utility App that is available with iOS 5 does pretty much everything that the Mac or PC versions do including controlling both the NAT & DHCP services to allow you reconfigure an AirPort as a bridge.

    You're nearly there:  Home button twice to get the list of recently used apps (they're not running) and swipe the large thumbnail above upwards to remove the app.   (99% of the time this activity is unnecessary.)

  • When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    :S,
    Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
    You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

  • How to unload the iPad iPhone picture on the Internet?

    How to unload the iPad iPhone picture on the Internet? Why does the button "Upload Photos" on the iPad iPhone is not activated?

    Ah, I understand the problem, and YES , that is a problem with the iPad, since there is no true File System within the iPad, there's no way to do what you're trying (at least that I know).  I've had my iPad since May 2010, and have never been able to get past that.
    This is one of the areas where and iPad (or any tablet) falls short of a true laptop or other computer.
    Sorry to be the one to let you know that.
    Unless someone can correct me, I think you're stuck with using another system to get your files uploaded.

    Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in  Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

    I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto.  The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
    Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.
