Photo order gets scrambled when merging albums

I've created multiple albums with customized ordering of the photos. When I select all photos from album 2 and drag them onto album 1, their order becomes scrambled. If I drag the photos one by one then they append in order, but drag a group of pictures and they get scrambled. Any suggestions??
Thanks!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why can't I access my pre order from iTunes when the album has been released?

    Pre ordered the new Jay Z album from my iPhone 4S and have been FULLY charged for the album. Each song is showing "purchased" in grey. What's the deal with this? iTunes WILL allow me to purchase the album again, and I'm positive they'll take my money again.

    I'm having the same issue. Support claims it's my computer to which I have downloaded 439 songs to already. Oddly enough I still can't download a previous preorder even though I am able to download FREE songs and podcast without issues. I asked them to cancel the order and they stopped contacting me with either a yay or a nay. It's not like they have to refund me or anything as they haven't drafted any monies yet. I guess I will have to chock this up as a loss and no longer purchase through iTunes anymore. Amazon is cheaper most of the time anyway. No back ups needed there. Peace.

  • Does Photo stream get disabled when there is a low battery?

    I noticed that iCloud will work perfectly fine, until by battery is below 20%, and then it will quit uploading, and it won't download new photos either. When I charge it, it will upload photos that were taken when the camera was below 20%, and it will download photos that were uploaded on my other devices. Is this normal? Or is it a freak glitch that I have?
    Thanks for answering.

  • Photo's get cropped when I try to make an album - help

    Hi
    I'm trying to make an album in iphoto '08 but my photo's keep being cropped because they aren't the right size for the templates. (I'd saved a lot of my landscapes 16:9 so the right and left edges are cropped out.)
    can anyone tell me what the template sizes are, i can't work it out.
    thanks very much

    Right-click on a photo inside its frame in the book and see if there's a command "Fit photo to frame" or similar. That will allow you to keep the proportions of your photos.
    I don't have experience with iPhoto '08, but in v6 most of the frames are 4:3
    Here's the explanation from the iPhoto 6 Help:
    *Aligning photos evenly on book pages*
    iPhoto books are designed to display photos that have a 4 x 3 size ratio, the most common ratio for consumer digital cameras. Photos may not line up evenly on pages where they appear side by side if your camera does not capture images at this ratio or if you cropped a photo in your library without constraining your selection to 4 x 3.
    To ensure photos are properly aligned, crop them to a size ratio of 4 x 3. (See Related Topics below.)
    You can also try to align a photo in a book by changing its size to fit the book frame. Press the Control key while clicking the photo, and then choose "Fit Photo to Frame Size" from the shortcut menu.
    If you don't like the way photos are arranged on a page, you can also choose a different book theme or page design.
    You may want to confirm that this has not changed in v7 by checking the Help file.
    Regards.

  • When I merge one project with another, Aperture for some strange reason, randomly scrambles the photos from the project being merged, instead of keeping them in the order they were shot. What can I do to fix this?

    When I merge one project with another, Aperture 3 randomly scrambles the photos of the project being merged, instead of keeping them in the chronological order that I shot them in. What can I do to correct this?

    The photos have just been dumped into a new home and need to be told how to be arranged.  Go to the top left of the browser view for the merged project and select the desired sort order from the drop-down and they'll all sort according to that setting.

  • Photo order in album gets mixed up after sorting photos

    I have created albums from a recent trip, which I am using to make slideshows.  To get the photos in the desired order, I first sorted the album by date, then rearranged various photos to put them the way I wanted them.  I created one slideshow from that, which worked fine.  However, I came back to the original album the next day to make a different slideshow and the photo order has completely changed, into what seems random.  They are not in date order, nor in file name order.  I am very frustrated since I spent quite a bit of time editing and reordering the photos. 
    Similarly, if I have sorted an album by date, then use the pull-down menu to switch to manual, the photos again go into what seems like a random order. 
    Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? 
    Relatedly, when I try to change the order of photos in a slideshow by grabbing a photo thumbnail from the top of the window and drag it to the right to put it at the end of the line, the window changes to another full-screen desktop, with iPhoto gone, hidden in another desktop.  Even the desktop background has changed, into an old background that I no longer use. 
    Thanks very much for any assistance!

  • Working on iPad2, I can create new albums from digital camera imports in Photos; however, when the album is automatically imported into iPhoto, it has lost its custom photo or ding and replaced it with a chronological order. How do I reorder them?

    Is there a way to preserve the album order and format when it moves from Photos to iPhoto for easy export sharing or advanced sideshow treatments? Can I create the albums on the iPad in iPhoto and format with custom photo ordering? Or do I have to carry and work in Mac?

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines.  At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album.  But I can't access it.

    I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch.  When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums".  At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are.  What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
    Thanks.

    Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
    Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.

  • I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders.  I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
    My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
    1. Download  from camera or scan  in from old photos.
    2  I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
    3.  Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell,  I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.  
    4.  I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
              - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it.  I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
    rescanning.
              - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
    5.  The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
    6.  This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
    sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down.  What a nuicance it is to have to go  to view and click "title"  again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
    7. Can I go back to Photo 09? . 

  • Album photo order in Apple TV 2 mobile me galleries = Failure

    While the order of my photos in my iPhoto albums is preserved on Apple TV 2 via 'Computers' it is clearly using image file names to sort if you go in via 'Internet>Mobile Me'. This is especially annoying since you can view your albums in order not only on the web but also on the iPhone's 'Gallery' app. Since both the iPhone and the Apple TV 2 use iOS4, one would think that Apple TV 2 would be able to do a simple but very important thing like preserve photo order within albums. One of the major reasons for getting one of these for my dad was so he could easily view baby photos on his tv. It's annoying to watch my baby go from 3 months old to birth to 1 month old in my albums! When friends try to show vacation photos from their albums... well forget it.
    It's hard to tell a photo story when all of your photos are completely out of order; which is very much the case if you happen to be combining photos from more than one camera since different cameras will be naming the files with different prefixes.
    My only solution so far is to import all photos that will be used in an album into iPhoto, batch change their titles to the 'time and date' they were taken, then export those photos using 'titles as filename' option, then deleting all the photos iPhoto, then reimporting them. That way when they are put onto Mobile Me/Apple TV 2 they will be at least in chronological order. What a complete pain in the ---.
    Any other solutions to this problem?
    Message was edited by: Abstractart

    I suspect that you will have to re-edit the metadata to accomplish your goal. As images are copied and moved this is often modified (place/geotag, faces, dates).......... Just a though. You can download the photos and both check it and if necessary change it in iPhoto

  • Do photos get resized when sending from PSE 6 to PE 4?

    Do photos get resized when moving them from PSE 6 to PE4?
    I've come to understand that using overly large photos in slide shows in PE 4 can cause lots of issues, and its recommended to resize photos to 1000x750 (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bb8822c) before including them in a slide show in PE4. I'm trying to understand the implications of working with photos in PSE 6 and then moving to PE 4 vs. just doing it directly in PE 4.
    I can imagine (at least) two scenarios:
    1. I have all my photos in PE6 and want to work ONLY in PE4. I'm guessing i would resize my photos in the PSE 6 Organizer by using File-->Export and picking a smaller file size (e.g., 1024 x 768) and then import them into PE4 and build my slide show there.
    2. I have all my photos in PSE 6 and want to to create a slide show there and then move it to PE 4 to touch it up or do some fancy stuff to it. Will the photos be resized so PE 4 won't have trouble with them or do i need to resize them in PSE 6, reimport them into PSE 6, build the slide show, and THEN send it to PE 4?

    eric,
    See my post over at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b85fd0/4
    for reasons why I think that for your current objectives, working in Premiere Elements (rather than making a slide show in PSE) will be a better choice.
    >1. I have all my photos in PE6 and want to work ONLY in PE4. I'm guessing i would resize my photos in the PSE 6 Organizer by using File-->Export and picking a smaller file size (e.g., 1024 x 768) and then import them into PE4 and build my slide show there.
    Yes.
    A couple of considerations
    1- Where will you establish the sequence of the photos in the slide show?
    Are you making an Album in PSE 6 in order to establish the sequence of the slides as you are selecting which photos to use? if YES, we can experiment with sending the photo files in their Album sequence to Premiere Elements.
    Or will you establish the sequence of the photos within Premiere Elements?
    2- When working in Premiere Elements will you be able to do the 600 slides in a single PE project?
    I don't know the answer to this: it will be influenced by your system configuration.

  • Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
    For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.

  • How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

    I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • In Photos, how can one control the order of pictures in an album?

    Is there any way, in Photos, to control the order of pictures in an album? Is there any way to sort, or order things manually?

    Thanks. Let me refine my question as follows: is there a way to keep the manual order in albums that I had in iPhoto when transferring to Photos?
