Out of order photos

I'm trying to synch my photos from iphone 3GS to my new macbook pro, but the photos are completely out of order, are all contained as one event, with the date being the date of the synch, and there is no recognition of duplicates. It transfers all 1200 pictures as one event! All out of order! I never had this problem with my old macbook pro, and just bought this new one, with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any suggestions?

I now downloaded the latest iphone software update, and the photos are appearing in order, but still as one huge event, with no recognition by iphoto that 99% of these are duplicates.

Duplicate and out of order photos

I was wondering if anyone knows why my photos in my iphone 4 library when I open them in aperture are in a different order than my library on the phone itself. For some reason when I have synced my phone to my computer in the past it has duplicaed the photos. So I haven't synced in awhile because I have the same photos in my library about 5 or 6 times. I want to delete these duplicate photos and I am trying to find the quickest and easiest way to do that because I have a lot of pics in my library. Thank you for any suggestions!

Photos out of order with iOS5 update

Looking for any advice I can get on my out of order photos on my 4g ipod touch. When the last major operating system update came down the line I had a similiar issue. The way I solved it last time was by batch changing all the dates for my pictures in iphoto. My folders in iphoto are numbered sequentially. Any advice?

Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

This is highly annoying.
I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
Ugh....

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.

After syncing PC-Ipad my Photo's on Ipad2 are out of order. In the Folders/Albums the Photo's are no longer in the order of (EXIF) dates. I have updated Itunes to 10.6.1.7 and IPad2 to 5.1. I have reset the IPad2. I cleaned the Photo-cache and removed Itunes and Installed again. I tried it with Windows 7 (64) and XP, makes no difference. I tried it with one Album, Photo's also out of order. It doesn't seem to happen with my Ipad1 older software version. I there a bug in the newest software? Thanks for Help!

Photos synch out of order

Photos from some of my albums synch out of order when I upload them. How can I prevent this or else how can I fix the order on the iPod? The photos are numbered and should have stayed in order. (Most albums loaded in order - a few didn't.)

I had the same problem when I converted a Power Point to .jpg files. Each slide was given a number 1, 2, 3, . . . 10, 11, 12, . . .
The problem is that the iPod reads the numbers and shows the photos "alphabetically" so the order ends up being 1, 10, 11, 12, . . . 2, 20, . . .
You need to renumber or rename each photo either so they're 01, 02, 03, . . . or a, b, c, . . .

Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!! I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is that

I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

Import photos are out of order

I hope I can explain this so it makes sense. I am trying to import photos from a compact flash card. When they come into Lightroom they are out of order. I have tried sorting them by all the different means in the drop down but still are not correct. I notice that for some reason some of the photos show incorrect dates and that seems to be what is affecting the import. Lightroom is putting the photos from the oldest date first. I was able to load the pictures into a folder on the desktop and they are in the correct order just using the camera file names. When I tried to load them from that folder into Lightroom, they went back to the incorrect order. Is there a way to import without the metadata? Is that what is fouling this up? I don't know where these weird dates have come from but they are there and I can't get rid of them.
I am running Lightroom on an imac with OS 10.4.11 and this is the first I have run into this problem. These photos are from an older camera, a Nikon Coolpix 885 and are my son's photos. I normally import from my Canon camera using a compact flash with a reader and have never had such a problem. Here I am talking up Lightroom to my son about how easy it is to get the photos in and organize them and he is not buying it at this point. Hopefully this makes sense and someone knows what is going on.
Thanks

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

Photos randomly out of order when published to my gallery!

Photos are in the right order in iPhoto on my mac (Library, Albums, Web), but when the album is published to my gallery the photos are completely and randomly out of order.
The name of each photo is just the number given by the camera, and iPhoto had correctly imported the folder of photos in chronological order from a hard disk.
Also, there are videos which sometimes work in the gallery, but for some it says quicktime cannot play the video, and sometimes the video is UPSIDE DOWN!
How can I get the correct order (and functioning videos)?
Thanks

In the gallery on the web, I see no pattern to the random order.
Aha! In iPhoto (back on my mac), I now see that the order from the import at the beginning ("events") is not the same as the original folder (where all files were in order of file number). I see the problem there - iPhoto imports the photos in the correct order until it encounters a video. The videos (.mov) are mostly in the wrong place, although I found one in the right place (just to make it impossible to say always, grr).
Then when the mostly in order (apart from videos out of order) "album" is published to the web gallery, photos and videos are completely out of order.
I had never tried including videos in photo albums in iPhoto, I think because in previous versions this was impossible. So I had published one video at a time to its own "album" on the gallery. Maybe iPhoto is mixed up by these videos in with photos. Strange though, because it gives details about how many photos and how many videos in the album, and seems to act like this would be possible.
So, resetting the order in iPhoto does not allow me to republish maintaining this order. In the publishing process, somehow all are randomly mixed up. The only way I can see to reorder everything in the gallery is to move them all manually there in the gallery when connected to my account at me.com
I had hoped to find a better solution, because this would take a long time to do.

HT4236 Syncing my photo library to my phone, albums out of order

Syncing my Aperture photo library to my phone from my Yosemite MacBook Pro (I also tried it with iPhoto and same store), the projects (called albums in iPhoto) are all out of order - just random. I use a naming convention of date then name with the date in the format YYYYMMDD so even if it were to be resorted, they would be in chronological order. They are in that order within Aperture and also on the screen in iTunes where I select which projects I wish to sync. But then after syncing, they are all there in the Photos app, but in random order. I'm a photographer and often need to access a photo from a session that I need to be able to find quickly and I pretty much can find what I need when it's sorted correctly. I believe this problem only came about after a recent update of the software, which may have been with Yosemite. Please help. Thanks. Steven

Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all my photos are actually in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different. It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album.
On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

Photos not synced correctly to iphone... Unorganized and out of order

After syncing my Iphone 4s with my macbook pro, all of my "Event" photos are out of order. If I open a specific event there will be photos that do not belong there and have no relation to that event... Same with the "faces" feature... I will specifically look for all pictures with "Mary's" face and majority of the pictures are other people with "Mary" not even in those pictures...
I have looked at my macbook and all of the photos seem to be correct on that and in the right locations... Not sure how to fix this problem or what to do :-/
This is a feature that I use constantly and would appreciate if someone could help guide me to correcting it....

Hi Tasha48323,
If you are having issues with unusual or incorrect data after a recent sync with iTunes, you may want to turn off the sync options for Photos, click Apply (this should clear that data off the iPhone), then turn Photo syncing back on and Apply again (which should resync all the data back). You may find the Resolution section of the following article helpful (the article primarily concerns a slightly different issue, but the steps are the same):
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync

Recently I downloaded photos from an sd card. When the download was complete all photos were loaded in a random fashion completely out of order.This is the first time it has ever happened this way. downloaded same card to iPhoto and all photos were in order. Help needed. Am working on a job that needs immediate attention and HDR images out of order are impossible to deal with.

Thanks for your help. The out of numerical order comes before the actual import begins. It happens when first uploaded to Lightroom and prior selection of of photos to imported to the catalog.

TS1314 why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order?

why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order? I have them organized (by numerical sequence in their file name) and they synced up on my iPad in a random order...

On his iPad go to Settings>iCloud>Contacts>Off. When prompted to to keep the contacts on the device or delete them, choose the delete option and all of your contacts will be removed from his iPad.
Make sure that he is no longer signed into your Apple ID in the iCloud settings and the general settings.
