Photo order within Events broken on iOS devices synchronized with iPhoto

I have a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 with iPhoto 9.4.2 (710.42) and an iPhone and an iPad, both running iOS 6.0.1.
In iPhoto, I import photos from a memory card that I use in various digital cameras and organize them by events. I view photos inside events ordered by date in ascending order. This is also the order that I want to see my synchronized photos on my iOS devices (and which I did see in the past). I sync my photos from iPhoto via iTunes by the option "Select albums, Events and Faces automatically".
My most recently imported events cause some problems on my synchronized iOS devices. Now the photo order in the iOS "Photos" app is broken in the Events view. All photos that are taken in upright format appear BEHIND all photos taken in landscape format within an event. However, I want them to be sorted by date irrespective of the picture rotation, just as I see them in iPhoto on my Mac.
Events that I had imported earlier (before ~ mid October) are still ordered as expected, just as I see them in iPhoto.
According to this, the sorting of iPhoto should be preserved: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221
I assume that photos of newly imported events are displayed on iOS devices in the order of modification date instead of creation date (EXIF) since iPhoto automatically rotates pictures that are taken in upright format by 90° and saves them as 'modified' files besides the 'original' files. I also assume that photos of my older events are displayed in correct order on my iPad since they had already been synchronized at a time when everything worked as expected. I also tried to re-synchronized these older events on my iPhone (to see what happens) by unchecking "Synchronize Photos" -> Apply -> checking "Synchronize Photos" -> Apply and on my iPhone, those older photos are also out of order now.
Also note that my photos are ordered correctly in the "Albums -> Photo Library" view on iPhone and on the "Photos" tab on iPad. These are the same pictures as under Events. So the sorting is wrong in the Events view of newly imported events only.
I know that there are some other discussions about the order of photos on iOS devices. I want this one to be specifically about problems with a synchronized iPhoto library. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events. Right now, I just have to live with it.... I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.

How to make an app deleted from iTunes library be deleted from all the iOS devices synced with this library?

Hello!
I have 3 iOS devices synced with iTunes apps library (OS X 10.10.2)
Can someone tell me how to make not only added but deleted apps be synced also? I mean I want an app deleted in iTunes library be deleted from any iOS devices synced with this library.

But it was working some time before! What and when has changed?
There was even a warning popup window something about "this application will be deleted from all the devices synced with this library"
Now there's opposite message - "This application will not be deleted from any device syncing with this account". Isn't it some kind of clue that there can be conrarily circumstances - when application IS deleted from ANY device synced with this computer?

TS3989 Photo Stream won't upload to iOS devices

My Photo Stream has 999 photo's currently showing in iPhoto, but my iOS devices stop uploading at 195 photos. Is there a way to refresh the uploading process without having to turn off/on Photo Stream in the settings?

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

Storing Pics on iCloud w/Photos But Viewing on Demand w/iOS Devices

My intention is to use Photos to organize and upload my pics to iCloud. But my wife and I would like to be able to view, on demand if you will, these iCloud pics on our iOS devices without having to download them to the iOS device and use up local storage. Can this be done and if so, what is the configuration required? Thanks for your help!

Currently this isn't possible since it looks like 'Optimize iPhone Storage' will still download some images to the device.
From iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support:
"If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them."

Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device. In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
Thank you.

My family has multiple iOS devices, all with 1 Apple ID. With iCloud coming, should I create separate Apple IDs for each member of my family?

Hello,
Between my family, we have 2 iPhones, multiple computers, iPads, and an Apple TV ALL tied in to the same Apple ID (the one I created when I got my first device). With iCloud coming, I wanted to know if I need to create separate Apple IDs for each family member (for emails, contacts, calendars, etc.). For instance, I would like to share certain contacts and a calendar with only my wife, all media between all family members, and have home sharing so that I can play/stream content on my Apple TV. Will there be a way to have multiple and distinct me.com accounts and yet share the same Apple ID?
Apologies for being verbose — just wanted to give ample info/background.
Thanks,
Jay.

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

Photo Stream only working properly on iOS devices (especially delete function)?

Hello,
I was planning on making my life a bit easier using photostream. But as soon as I started using this and testing it's behavior I ran into a lot of issues which make it more complex instead of easier I believe (when deleting photos). So here are some questions/issues I ran into, I hope a solution exists so I can start using photostream (instead of always connecting my iPhone to iTunes in order to sync my photos. I'm currently using my Windows 7 PC (and I was unable to test it on my macbook pro, as is currently being repaired). I have photostream enabled in the iPhone settings an on my iCloud panel on Windows.
1. When I want to remove a photo from the photo stream on my iPhone it is deleted (in the photostream tab) it's being deleted on the photostream (on my iphone and on my pc), but not on my camera-roll of my iPhone with which the photo was taken.
2. When I remove the photo on my camera-roll it is not deleted from my photostream. So I would be guessing that at least in this case or the previous case (1.) the photo should be deleted everywhere (or at least I should have somwhere in the settings an option to enable this behaviour, but I can not find this back in the settings on the iphone?). Remember I'm trying to make my life easier, not having the double amount of work to have an image deleted I don't want.
3. When I'm deleting a photo on the photostream on my pc, it is never deleted in the photostream on my iPhone (waited more then an hour to make sure the sync was done, with full battery and wifi enabled). Again trying to make it easier, so why should I deleted it once on my pc in the photostream and once on my iphone in the photostream (it's again the same image), and in the opposite way it is working though? Or could this be related to: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23925307 ?
4. When I log in on the iCloud website, I can't find back my photos anywhere to see which ones are still really in the photostream.
I hope some or maybe all of this issues can be fixed with adapting some settings or something, so I can start using the photostream in a way it is useful and it's making any sense to me. As I said in the beginning I only have tested this on my iPhone/PC. When I have my macbook back, I will test it with it too, but honestly I'm a bit afraid to add another device to the stream, as things might behave even more weird.
Thanks.

Im having a similar problem. Photo Stream works on my Mac and iPhone, but not on my iPad 2. Strangely, if I take. Photo with my iPad, it shows up in the Photo Stream of the other two devices.
I tried to reset network settings, but did not work. Even tried to reboot.
Another strange observation is that the feature actually did work temporarily and I saw my photo stream, but it disappeared without me changing any settings. Perhaps that will be fixed in an update.

Photo Stream not in sync between iOS devices...

This may not actually be a technical issue - it may be the way that it's designed. But if it is, then it seems pretty flawed.
I own an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Macbook Pro. Photo Stream pictures are not in sync - ie: I deleted several from my Apple TV earlier but they appear on all other devices and don't seem to be updating.
Is this the way it should be?
Any help welcomed.
Thanks

Thank you for that, it's strange you can't do the same thing from the supplied remote.
However, the previous response still applies, deleting photos from photostream on a device only deletes them on that device. (If you do it on the phone for example, it tells you that).

How do I configure ONE iCloud account with 2 iOS devices each with separate Apple IDs?

We have two iPhones (husband and wife), each with separate Apple IDs. The phones are 5S running iOS 7. We want both phones to use the same iCloud account so each phone will have equal access to the same email, calendar and contacts - all synced in ONE iCloud account.
We will use husband's Apple ID for the iCloud ID. I would like to know exactly how to configure Wife's iPhone so that all email. calendar and contacts synced with iCloud will be identical to that available on Husband's iPhone. I would appreciate step-by-step instructions. Thank you. Dale

On your wife's phone, settings iCloud, sign out and don't keep data when prompted. Then sign in again using the husbands Apple ID.

IOS 5 Issues with iPhoto '08 Ver 7.1.5 (378)

I have noticed that when doing Sync Between iTunes 10 Ver 10.5 (141) and iPhone concerning the iPhoto '08 Ver 7.1.5 (378) Albums! It sync the albums without maintaining (THE KEY PHOTO) as in iPhoto?
Is it a problem in IOS5?

Before upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you need to first purchase a retail install disc of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to install first.
If you are from Canada or France, you need to get this discs from an online Apple website in your country.
Here is the disc you need here in the U.S. Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After getting this disc and installing the initial version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you can use OS X Software Update feature to update to OS X 10.6.8 where that update gives you access to the Mac App Store and the free upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, if you choose.
Another thing you need to do is to upgrade the amount of system RAM in your Mac.
Currently, your Mac only has 2 GBs of RAM installed. This a bare minimum, paltry amount of RAM for running the newer versions of OS X.
Newer versions of OS X really need a real working, mimimum RAM amount of 4 GBs.
Your Mac model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
I advise installing the complete total 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC ( macsales.com) has the 6 GB RAM module kit.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/5300DDR2S6GP/
If you are not from the U.S., OWC (macsales.com), I believe, has international shipping of their products.

I have lost most of my pictures with iphoto 11. What should I do to find the thousands of missing photos ?, I have lost most of my pictures with iphoto 11. What should I do to find the thousands of missing photos ?

Well everyhting is in the title. I am extremely bad in computing. So if someone can answer, I won't be offended if you can explain like if I were a 5 yo child. a big thank you

Right click and "Show Package Contents" on your iPhoto Library file, it's actually a folder and inside is a folder called Originals, use the Finder to Duplicate that and move OriginalsCopy out to a safe place..
Rebuild the iPhoto database, see if that corrects your problem.

How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events?

How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events.
It seems sometimes they are in order by "Event Title" and sometimes they are in order by "Event Date".
I can change the order, as I please, in iPhoto on my Mac.
But what controls the order in IOS devices is a mystery to me.
Thoughts?

That's not quite true.
There is a connection between the last sort order of the event in iPhoto.
IPhoto allows events to be sorted in a number of ways. The sort order in the IOS device is driven by this but I'm not sure how it works exactly.
Yesterday, the events in the IOS device were in Date order as you suggested but today they are in Title order.
Does anyone know the exact rules?
