Photo display order on iPad

How is the display order determined after syncing photos to an iPad. I want to have them is a specific order but can't figure out how.

Actually the picture order is based on the order you put them in the folder. (not the sort order but the order you added them to the folder). Create a new folder and first add the picture you want the cover to be and then add as you wish to have them.
The sorting options do absolutely nothing for the iPad photos so you would need to create a new folder.

  • Sorting Photos Display Order

    On my Mac I use Picasa to organise my photos. When I sync this iPad I am not happy with the sort order of photos in my albums and likewise I cannot seem to find a setting to change the choice of image for the album thumbnail.
    Am I missing somethin or has Apple missed the opportunity to use drag and drop to change th display order?

    Photos are sorted in capture date order (possibly create date), and cannot be sorted in any other order - unless you manipulate their dates. The thumbnails are (at least on my iPad) the oldest photo in each album. If you think Apple have missed something by doing it this way : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
    I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
    Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
    Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

    Hey there Nyibyen,
    It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
    You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
    From: Express Checkout

    If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • PHOTOS Display order in Albums i4

    What should I do to maintain a pre-set order (sequence) of pics upload to my iPhone from my PC?
    I have numerically numbered the files in my PC but...on sync the order is
    completely altered (at random).
    Any help on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGE THAT WE FIND HELPFUL.
    The issue still remain to be solves as the photos storage in the iphone is
    very important especially for sharing pics with friends and relatives.
    Chronological order or preferred sequence is important.
    Hoping Apple will come up with solution.

  • Ipad Photos sort order

    I'm posting this entry to add my voice to the group of iPad users who have reported a defect in the order that the iPad displays photos, in the hope that Apple iOS and iTunes development will soon provide a fix for this defect.  The following is a description of my encounter with this defect, using a new iPad (3) with  iOS 6.0 and iTunes 10.7.0.21.
    I have a set of 1000 photos on my Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I re-arranged the photos in an order different from the order that they were taken with the digital camera.  I did a mass rename of the photo files so that the first file in this re-arrangement is named P0001, the second file is named P0002, etc.  I used iTunes on the PC to import the phptos into the iPad.  I checked the order of these photos displayed on the iPad and it matched the order P0001, P0002, etc.  I disconnected the iPad and exited from iTunes.  Later I reconnected the iPad and started iTunes.  I checked the order of these photos displayed on the iPad and it DID NOT match the order P0001, P0002, etc.  I found that it matched the order in which the photos were taken. 
    I consider this a defect because the order of displaying the photos is not consistent from the first time to the second time.  I would like the iPad to always display photos in the order of the ascending sequence of the photo file names.

    When you say that you've followed instructions in other posts, have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over in the correct order ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Photos sync from iPhone 9.4.2 got wrong display order in iOS 6

    First of all, before I updated iPhoto to the newest version 9.4.2, all things worked fine.
    I have set iTunes to sync photos to my new iPad from my iPhoto library, and I have create many smart albums. I know the display order of the photos synced to iPad is sorted by the photo's create time. and it's ok for me.
    But after I updated to iPhoto 9.4.2, the problem come. The photos in the smart album on iPad got wrong display order. The order now is sorted by rotation! the landscape direction comes first, then the portrait direction after that. After some time study, I found this only affect the photos which are newly imported to iPhoto. The photos imported before I updated the iPhoto work fine.
    Then I tried to create a totally new iPhoto library which contains the whole same set of all the photos, and continued to create the same smart albums. After I synced to the iPad again, the display order of all the smart album got wrong! They all sorted by rotation!
    The display order in iPhoto itself on my MacBook was fine. The problem only occurs on my iPad.
    I tried all my best to figure out why, and failed, then I thought it may be caused by the update of the iPhoto.
    Yesterday, I visited Apple Retail Store, and met some geniuses. They didn't solve this either.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!

  • How can I solve this error message? Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_0374.jpg", were not copied to the iPad "(my name's) iPad" because they cannot be displayed on your iPad.

    how can I solve this error message? "Some of your photos, including the photo “IMG_0374.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “(my name’s) iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
    There were 273 photos in the event syncing from my Mac, but only the last 103 made it to the ipad. Most of the photos were taken by an iphone. I would appreciate any thoughts or insights - thanks.

    Adrian-
    That error message suggests the photo is somehow corrupt.
    Do you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit?  You can set up a USB thumb drive with MS-DOS FAT-32 format and copy your photos to it into a folder named DCIM.  Assuming they have an 8 character plus suffix name, the iPad will recognize them and give you the option of transferring them via the Kit's USB adapter.
    Once they are transferred, you can find out if there is a problem with any.

  • What is the ideal size and resolution of a photo for display on the iPad?

    I'm finding no info on the size of a photo for the best possible display on the iPad.  The screen is obviously much larger than iPod Touch or iPhone; photos sized for them are fuzzy on the iPad.  Ideally, a photo should be sized for the exact number of pixels on the iPad screen.  Can anyone help me here?  Thanks!

    This is done automatically via the iTunes sync/transfer process - photos are optimized for viewing on the iPad, and there is not an option to change the default optimization settings.

  • HT4221 I arranged my photos in order on my PC and when I synced them to my ipad they appeared in a completely different order. How can I get my folders to transfer exactly how they are on my PC?

    I arranged my photos in order and in folders on my PC. When I synced them to my IPad they were in the correct folders but completely out of order. How can I get them to sync in the order they appear on my PC?.

    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

  • Photo album - image display order

    I just figured out how to get a (massive) photo album onto my 3GS (iOS4) but the order the images are displayed in appears to be random. Is there a way to have the photos displayed in chronological order?
    Thanks.
    (and now I have just noticed that there is no longer any content in the iPod app, where just before the sync, there was about 10GB. When I hook the phone back up to iTunes, the summary page shows the audio and video correctly, but there is nothing accessible on the phone.)
    Message was edited by: asg9000

    It seems that iOS devices (or is it just my iPhone 4?) order the photos by file name in stead of not by date. The solution is to rename the photos in Aperture (or iPhoto) based on the date and time taken. In Aperture you can batch change your photos and select version name format: Image Date/Time. It worked! All photos are in order.
    Not sure if similar batch renaming is possible in iPhoto, though. Personally, I think the photo order on iOS devices should be based on date and time.

  • Altering the metadata of photos to improve display order?

    I am having a problem organizing my photos. A few years ago, when I was stuck in PC world, I had a computer crash. I was dumb enough at that time to not have a recent HD backup. A friend of mine removed my hard drive and hooked it up as a slave drive to his computer to salvage many valuable photos, etc... This was in 2004.
    So the metadata of all photos up to that date was erased. It was no problem, as at that time I organized my photos through Windows Explorer and was able to file the photos by date manually in the folders.
    Now that I use iPhoto for all photo management, I'm having a problem with the display order of the photos. Photos that were taken in 2002 are displayed in the middle of the 2004 photos, because in the "photo info" screen there are no "original" or "digitized" dates. There is only the "modified date" in 2004 because this is when the photos were recovered from the slave drive.
    Is there any way to change the metadata in these files to make them show up in the correct chronological order? This is a very annoying situation.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    If you also want to change the Capture Date in the original file you can use PhotoInfo to batch change that date. If all in a folder are the same date you can then have them sequentially index by 1 minute per photo or whatever delta time you'd like. But iPhoto won't recognize that date until those files are imported again. If you don't want to reimport all of those files you can change the dates within iPhoto as Terence described for use within iPhoto and use PhotoInfo just to make sure the original files are up to date and later use outside of iPhoto. Just don't rename any of the files or move them via the Finder while updating the dates.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Only partial iphone4 photos display on ipad

    I have a problem which just started a week ago on my iPad.  I've been using Image Capture to transfer photos from my iPhone 4 without problems for the past few months, but recently some of the pictures that get trasferred to my iPad only display partial images. Some of the images display 25% of the photos, while others appear as a blank white placeholder.  I've tried removing the photo albums from my iPad and resynching with no luck.  The photos appear fine on my iPhone and Macbook Pro. This just started about a week ago.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  I'm running 4.3.3 on my iPad and 4.3.4 on my iphone4.

    Photos look like this on my iPad.

  • Why does deleting a photo from Photo Stream on my iPad also delete them from the album I just copied them to?

    I'm working hard a mastering the details of icloud and iPhoto. I would like to have a well designed sets of pictures to carry around on the iPad, but after months it seems I'm still surprised when I open my photo app. Pictures I don't care about are there; pictures I tried to have available to show are missing. Well,  I'm slowly working through it. This is not my main question today but a referral to a good info source(s) would appreciated.
    So why does it happen that when I copy pictures from Photo Stream to an existing album, then go and delete them from photo stream, they pictures are deleted from the album where I thought they would be safe?
    Thank you!

    Pictures on Photo Stream remain there for only 30 days by design.  So if you setup PS on your Mac and add photos to it they will display on the iPad.  However, to remain on the iPad you will have to move them to the Camera Roll (I only have an iPhone and that's what it's called on it) in order to keep them permanently.  This screenshot shows the save options  on the iPhone when photos in the Photo Stream are seledted. Notice the option in the lower right hand corner:
    It probably is similar on the iPad.
    Or, you can put the photos in an album in iPhoto and connect the iPad to your Mac.  Open iTunes and go to the iPad's Pictures section.  There you can select the album in iPhoto and sync those photos to the iPad where they will be in the Camera Roll section.l
