Photo Sorting on iPad and iPhone all screwed up - HELP

I don't know when exactly this happened - but in one of the recent updates in the last two months of either iTunes, iPhoto, or iOS something was changed in the photo sorting algorithms. iPhoto does not seem to dictate the sort order any more?
I have a smart album in iphoto that is called "our best pics" and that automatically takes the top ranked pictures and sorts them by date. That used to be perfectly mirrored on the iPad and iPhones in our household. Since a few weeks, this does not work anymore. The order of the pictures in the album are now very random, but identical on all iOS devices. I tried deleting the pictures and re-syncing, but nothing changes. Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks Klaus

Spare yourself the pain. Use 3rd apps to sort you photos.

If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

Printing edited photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll using HP eprint app

I edited and saved photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll. When I use the HP eprint app to print the photos to my HP 5514 Photosmart printer, the edited photo that I select does not show up in the preview, (the original shows up not the saved edited version). I am stumped because in the photo book and on the camera roll the edited version is the only one visible. I don't know what the problem may be. Why is it reverting to the original?

Hi jdanrok,
I did some testing on my iPad and found that after you edit a pic in photos and save it, it will only show the edited version. However, if you go to edit the "edited" photo, you can "Revert to Original", which means it is not really saving the "edited" version, it just "remembers" what you have changed.
When you go into the HP ePrint app, it is only seeing the original, and not the "edited" version.
If you are printing over local wifi (using Airprint) you can actually print the "edited" photo directly from the Photos App by touching the arrow towards the top of the screen and choosing Print.
If you are wanting to use the ePrint app, and you are not on your local wifi (through ePrint), you can email the "edited" photo, save the "edited" photo from the email and it will be just the "edited" version. The old psuedo "edited" version will still be there also.

How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

Hola amigo
If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

You need to go to System Preferences (this may be called Settings in Mountain LIon)>iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with the new ID.

TS3989 How do I view my photo stream from ipad and iphone on icloud?

I have icloud on but it does not show my photos or photo stream when I log into icloud on my PC.

My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them. They are not backed up, only your camera roll photos are backed up. If all your photo stream photos are older than 30 days, you would not get them back when you signed back into your iCloud account. Shared photo streams remain in iCloud indefinitely and should reappear on your device when you sign back in.

Restricting photo access on ipad and iphone?

Is there any way to restrict my 4 year old from going through the photos on our ipad?

No, you can't stop him/her viewing and/or deleting them in the Photos app - only the actual Camera app can be hidden, not the photos.
There are some third-party photo apps which allow you to copy your photos into them from Photos, and which can have a passcode lock set to restrict access to them e.g. Photo Manager Pro has a passcode lock within it - so you could copy your photos into a third-party app (and preferably to your computer so that you have a backup copy : copying photos) and then delete them from Photos.

Game played on both iPad and iPhone. Will iCloud help syncing datas?

I started playing Infinity Blade on the iPhone. Will it be possible to sync the saved data on the iPad with iCloud?
I mean, it's ridicoulus that I have to start over every single game on the iPad...

It should work the same way document sync will for the iWork apps. The document store is part of the iCloud sync process. ANY app can take advantage of this if it's written using the proper APIs. This is why if you create and edit a document in Pages on your iPad, you'll be able to open it up and continue on your iPad, and presumably on your Mac as well.
Existing apps won't do this, of course. At least not until they are updated to take advantage of iCloud.
See this page: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html
"If you have the same iCloud-enabled apps on more than one device, iCloud automatically keep your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don’t have to."
Things like saved games could be treated the same as any other document. The app just has to be "iCloud-enabled".

HT202786 Shared photos appear on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac

Hi Everyone:
I have several albums I share via iCloud. They appear on both my iPhone and iPad, but do not appear in iPhoto on my Mac. The album titles appear, but the photos do not have. Below are screenshots.
All devices are using the same iCloud account. I have tried turning iCloud Photo Sharing on and off in both System Preferences and iPhoto, but that is not working.
iPad:
iOS 8.1
Mac
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012)

You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/ to the Desktop.
This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
Remove the folder and restart the Mac. It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.

Photos sent from iPad and iPhone are now embedded rather than attached.

Previously when I sent a photo or a screenshot from my iPhone or iPad they appeared in my e-mail as attached, but all of a sudden images are embedded in the e-mail, which makes downloading them to the computer a rather tiresome task. Does anyone know if it is possible to still attach images rather than having them embedded? I suspect it has been introduced with the latest iOS 7 update.

Have tried this but it is still not pulling in older emails. I also have an iPhone synced. On my apple computer at home, all the emails come through. Why have apple removed the option in settings to determine how many emails you can pull through ? best wishes, sam

Why do my photos on MacBook, iPad, and iPhone keep reproducing?

I keep getting multiple copies of photos I have taken on my iPhone, sometimes four or five copies of the same photo, and I can't find any way to delete the,-no trash an icon on most of them. These are choking my iPad. What can I do?

I had this issue as well. Quick fix - with iPhoto Open, disconnect your iPhone from the computer, then reconnect it. This resolved it for me (without having to update software as several other posts have suggested).

I use a pc. i keep getting a server error messge trying to upload photos to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. the error states can't update photostream, server error.

uploading worked in the beginning, but in the last few days it has not. how should i proceed.

Go into Settings, iCloud on your iPad & iPhone. Turn streaming on there. I did that when I first set up my phone & iPad & have not had any problems. It will only stream over new photos so take one on your phone & see what happens. I hope that works for you.

Photos automatically deletes from iPad and iPhone

I have NOT checked the box 'delete photos after import' - and yet Photos does delete all imported photos off my iPad and iPhone. Is this another hiccup of Photos that hasn't been fixed upon roll out? (OS X Yosemite).

Sorted it. I went to settings, photos and camera, turned off my photo stream and deleted photos, then turned back on my photo stream and the photos I had taken with my iPhone were on my iPad.
