Photo order changed with iOS 5

I have had roughly 6000 photos stored on my iPhone and iPad, which have always sorted by date picture taken.  Now they are sorting by file name.  How do I get them to sort again in chronological order?  I do not want to hav to rename all of them!  These photos were synced from my PC.

To me it seems that the ordering is only broken in album/folders that were imported. If you create any new album on your device, sorting is as with iOS 4 (by date/time)
This gives an easy way (workaround) to have photos be sorted the old way with iOS5:
Import all your photos via iTunes. They will be in wrong order in the imported folders/album(s).
Create a new album
Copy all photos into the new album. (You end up with two albums with the same content. As the pictures are linked only into the second album, this should not use any extra space)
The new album contains photos in the right order.
Never use the old album, just irgnore it. Once Appple fixes the stupid bug, you may remove the album you manually created.
Best,

  • Photo locations changed with iOS8???

    Most of my photos used to be in one folder, perhaps unwieldy, but it worked for me. Now they're arranged by "years" which I don't like.  More over, when I select Settings/Wallpaper/Choose wallpaper, I only have access to a few of my photos for wallpaper. 
    I assume iOS 8 did this to me.  Wondering if there is a way to put my pictures back in one folder.

  • Photo order changes when burn CD

    I created iPhoto album in a certain order. When I burn CD the order changes, seemingly randomly. The order of the show is important. How do I prevent this? Thank you, MP

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.
    If your photo titles are important, you could pad the beginning of each title with a numeral. Then export with "use title" checked, and the file name will become the photo's title.

  • Muse site does not allow photos to change with mobile device orientation i.e. they can't be seen as full images

    I have a site that has images on it and when viewed on a mobile device (ipad, phone) look fine when in portrait mode, but when the device is rotated 90 degrees you can't see the whole image.  Is there some setting/widget something I need to enable this?
    Thanks

    1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
    2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
    I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way.

  • I could not see photos after updated with ios 6(used wi-fi)

    I have upgraded with ios 6 on 21-Sep-2012, after that I could not see my photos on my phone 4.
    I used apple id for icould buy not able to verify.
    thanks,
    umapathi

    Same issue. But my iPhone 4 does it as well. Only thing is with my iPhone it maintains a persistent 3G connection so at least I'm getting my messages as they arrive. But if I relied solely on WiFi  and my device was in sleep mode, I wouldn't get any notifications.
    On my iPad 2 I've tried forgetting the network, renew lease, rebooted, airplane mode etc. Nothing works.
    It's not crippling my device but it's really annoying and it's not the way it should behave.

  • Sort order changes from ios photos to iphoto

    My photos in an album in the the ios Photo app are in a particular order.  When accessed fro iPhoto, the order is completely different.  How can I mantain the original order?

    I also have have the same issue and have been on the phone with Apple Care....not much help I'm afraid although I do believe something is broken and requires a fix. Here is what I have found (all software up to date and latest OS BTW)....I have sorted all my pictures by Date, if I want to add a straggler I just alter the original date and all is well within the event.  I then "batch change" the event to the tile and event name. So the pictures in the event are named " Holiday 2012  1-xxx.  Again, all is well in iPhoto but when sent to an iPad or Apple TV the sort is as siwilson mentioned above.  I just discovered a temp work around for events with less than 1000 pictures, if I sort by Title I can get them to show correctly on the ATV and iPad. Now what was/is interesting is somethimes they would sort correct and sometimes not.  It turns out that if you sort the event by Title and quit iPhoto and reopen it....it has reverted back to sort by Date. It does that everytime. So what I do is turn home sharing off in iTunes (forces it to look at the photos again), open an iPhoto event and sort by Title.  Then I turn home sharing on in iTunes (leaving iPhoto open) and sync my iPad.  If I want ot stream photos to my ATV I must leave iPhoto open so the sort remains as I set it. If I want to retain the correct sort this is what I need to do each time. So this is a bandage for me until they fix things.  One final about pictures over 1000.....it sorts them as mentioned above with another twist, numbering goes 0001, 1000, 1001, 1002 etc.  @#$% why can't they just sort the way iPhoto presents them?

  • HT201317 Album Photo Order Changes when Posted to Photostream

    Okay, I really liked the old iWeb app.  When I built albums the order in the album remained the same when posted to a web page. 
    Am I missing something?  Why does Photostream put photos back into number/date order?  Can this be overridden?
    Thanks!

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.

  • Lost photos and contacts with iOS 6.0.1 update on 3Gs HELP please

    Shucks!

  • Why isn't date order synced with iOS devices?

    Hi all
    My syncs from various Aperture libraries to iphones and Apple TVs all have one consistent issue; that the pictures always sync oldest first.
    This is despite me changing the order in Aperture to Descending date order and resyncing.
    Not a deal breaker but a tad annoying. I'm finding myself scanning through 100's of pics to get to the ones I took most recently (when looking at them on the ATV or iPhone).
    Any suggestions to remedy?
    Thanks!

    Photos sorting wrongly on Apple's own devices is a longstanding and very annoying issue. I believe if you set an album or project to manually sort in Aperture, then this ordering will be preserved on your iPhone.
    You should also send Apple feedback to let them know your frustration!

  • OSX Photos sync problem with IOS Photos

    iCloud has 1521 photos, which are correctly shown on my iPhone and iPad including all photos taken recently.
    Problem is iMac, Yosemite, showing 1558 photos - how can it have more??
    Especially as nothing has synced down to the iMac since April 4.
    PLUS it says it is uploading 3721!!!! I don't have so many and never have!
    I have made sure there are no duplicates.
    Is there any way to redo the database or whatever is causing the problem on the iMac?
    Have rebooted, unticked Photos in Settings/iCloud and rejoined.
    That made it worse - even more to upload (allegedly).

    I just had a similar problem with my iPhone 4. Are you using wi-fi syncing or USB? I found that using a USB connection helped. I connected the phone, turned off "sync music," then synced. Turn "sync music" back on and sync again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Completed sales order changed with the updated ship-to address

    Hi,
    My client did the following test and found that:
    - Change the ship-to address of a customer
    - new sales order of this customer defauted to the update ship-to address (good!)
    - old/completed sales orders of this customer show the new ship-to address (bad!)
    Data used in occurred transactions should not be affected by data maintenances that made after the transactions. So, is the finding a design flaw in OM or there is parameter that can be tuned?
    Thanks in advance for any input!

    Hi,
    Oracle will not store the entire Address in Sales Order tables. It will only store the internal id.
    Now there could be two possible scenarios for which your client tried to chance the ship to address:
    1) There is a correction required in the address(e.g. change in street name). If this is the case then changing the address would be correct approach, and I think all the sales orders(old or new) should reflect correct address.
    2) If there is a relocation, then the correct approach would be to make the current customer site inactive and create a new site for the new address instead of changing the existing site. Changing the address of existing site for such a business scenario may not be a correct approach.
    So based on what was the reason for changing the ship to address, I would say the system is functioning as expected.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Nitin S. Darji

  • Almost all my photos are gone with ios 8

    I had 3000  photos before my iOS 8 update, they were in my camera roll, and are not listed in the 2014 collection and there is no collection for 2013. Please help! I haven't backed up to the cloud since June because I ran out of room in the cloud....
    my collection shows 91 photos only.... Mostly burst photos are left really.

    I understand your point, but unfortunately both of my USB ports are broken on my macbook pro, and from what I can tell it is very costly or impossible to replace them. I am simply asking if there is any way to recover what was lost due to the software update, I don't feel that things on my phone should have been deleted simply because I upgraded the software.

  • Guided access changed with iOS 7

    When using guided access I used to be able to circle and restrict areas on the screen. With the iOS7 update this is not possible. When I activate guided access now it rotates the view on the screen so the circles don't match up with what I want to restrict. I am doing something wrong or is it problem with guided access.

    From the User Guide itself.
