Photos are show in wrong order

Hello,
I bought an iPod Touch 32 GB because I thought it's a good way to carry my pictures with me.
The problem is that within the folders/albums the pictures are displayed in the wrong order. It's not chronlogically, by name or something else I can identify.
What have I done?
I'm using a XP laptop and my pictures are stored in several folders on a NAS. First I made sure that the pictures were sorted by "picture taken on". Then I selected the picture folder in iTunes and selected several subfolders to be transferred to the iPod. It took a while as we are talking of 15.000 pictures. Some of the folders have 10 or 20 pictures, some of the folders have 200 or even 400 pictures. It's important for me that they will be displayed in a chronological or by name. But I have the feeling that starting from a certain amount of pictures (like 30 or 40) it completely destroys the structure.
What can I do?
I hope I was able to make my point as I'm writing you from Germany and my English is not the best.
Please help me to get this problem solved.

FOUND SOLUTION  from another unhappy guy (forgot his name) but he was very kind in posting the solution after he broke his brain trying with the Support team  (?)
in any case here is the solution:
1 - in PHOTOS   check sync
2 - DO NOT SELECT ANY Folders or files
3 - let the phone do the sync
4 - repeat the sync by selecting the folders you intend to sync
It did worked for me....try
good luck
PS - I wish that the board could be monitored by Apple experts so that they may add valid
solutions to problems rather then us going crazy looking for intelligent reply to questions!

  • All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    One thing, don;t think of them as being imported in any one particular order.
    The order of the images is completely fluid, you can change it anytime you want to suit your needs at that particular moment.
    As Léonie showed you select the order you want to see the images in by selecting the item you want to sort on in the pull-down.
    The only time fluid sort order can be a problem is when you export groups of images. If you put the images into a particular order in Aperture when you export them and view them in the Finder the order they are in may very well be different. In this case you could give names to the images that include a sequence number or index.
    Then when they are viewd in the Finder they will be in them same order they were in in Aperture.

  • Credit master records are showing the wrong credit exposure?

    Hi,
    Some credit master records are showing the wrong credit exposure and therefore orders are being credit blocked when they should have been approved.
    The problems occur after the credit limit has changed in the credit master record
    Please Help.
    Regards,
    Chamandeep

    Dear Chamandeep,
    Trust you have reviewed the open documents that would constitute to credit exposure, and have turned a blank.
    In such cases, it is possible to reorganise the credit master data of customers by using the programmes RVKRED77 and RVKRED07.
    Kindly prefer the latter as it permits greater flexibility especially in selection of dates of data reorganisation.
    In either case, the data  re-organisation is resource intensive and is best run when all other users are cleared from the system.

  • My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?

    My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?
    If its not possible, how do I go back to the old  os?

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

  • On my Iphone 4 S photos are showing purple line

    Hi,
    On my iphone4s when i click on Photo app few of the photos are showing purple lines and when i open that photo it is showing as normal.
    can you please suggest what might be the issue here.
    Thanks

    To make a ringtone you need your <30 second clip in AAC (.m4a) format on your computer, you then change the extension to .m4r and drop the resulting file into the Automatically add to iTunes folder for it to get added to iTunes as a Tone. Sync your tones to the device and then you can select them using Settings > Sounds.

  • Photos on iPhone in wrong order after sync with iMac iPhoto

    I just purchased my iPhone 6 and am trying to get it all set up with my photos stored on iPhoto on iMac. When I sync phone using iTunes all of images sync over. Not a problem. But here's where the issue is... On my iMac in iPhoto, all photos are displayed correctly with right time and date (along with locations). However, once syncing to my iPhone, a select 6 photos (random ones) are being displayed as taken most recently (yesterday) with wrong location. To be clear, this isn't under events but rather "Moments" on the Photos tab on iPhone.
    What is going on? It looks fine on iMac. I have never adjusted the time and date of these photos so not sure how this is even possible. I'm using iOS 8.1. Thanks for your help!

    My iPhone 4 camera roll decides to rebuild the library every once in a while and everytime this happens, it moves my most refer pictures and places them some where in the middle of the camera roll, making my last pictures I took with my 3Gs the most recent ones showing at the bottom. Small inconvenience but it looks like someone at Apple screwed up in setting up the sequence numbering of these pix and now it's a pain for the end users.
    Has anyone experience the same issue and been able to successfully solve the problem? Please help.
    Thanks

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

    iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?

    Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

  • Photos are displayed in different Order on iPhone, iPad and fotostream. Who knows the algoritm of ordering

    Apple support can reproduce the Problem. 10 pictures are displayed in Differenz Order. But Nonne can explanier the algoritm of ordering. Its Not timebased,

    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

  • After turning on iTunes Match, songs in playlist are in the wrong order across all devices.

    So in iTunes, my client had several playslists, all with songs in a specific manual order.  None of them are smart playlists.
    After iTunes Match was activated, the song order seems to have changed in every playlist and on one iPhone where the same iTunes Match account was also enabled on.
    We know they are in a different order as an iPod touch that does NOT have iTunes Match enabled yet still has the original order.
    Just wondering what the best way to fix this would be.  Should we manually drag the songs to the right order or is there a simpler way to revert to how they were ? Also would manually moving the update the order across all iTunes Match devices ?

    This worked although it was very clumsy (we had almost 3,000 files that had to be deleted and redownloaded. I could not figure out a way to sort all of the 'exclamation points' together so it took an hour or so to scan through the entire library list and delete each file individually and/or in small groups.) The download was very straight forward. In my experience (with iTunes match turned on,) we did NOT loose our playcounts.
    Going through all those files I noticed several common themes that may have triggered the problem: 1) multiple artists, 2) special characters in the song title, artist and/or album name - particularly umlauts (we have quite a few german songs in our library.) 3) very long title, artist and/or album names.
    I hope that someone from Apple is aware of these issues and working on them....

  • Photos from my PC downloaded to "Photos" appear in the wrong order. Will using iPhoto cure this?

    I have recently bought an iPad and was disappointed to find that when I downloaded files of images from my PC to my iPad, the order of the images stored in the 'Albums' on my iPad had been changed.    When using the iPad to show 'slide shows', it is important to me to see the images in the right order.   If I installed iPhotos would this make any difference?   Are there any other Photo Apps that I could use where this problem would be eliminated?   Furthermore, is there a Photo App where the storage of images is organised in multiple levels and not just the one used in "Photos". 

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • Aperture 3 synchs photos to iphone in wrong order

    When I synch my photos to the iphone from iphoto they show in the correct order by date.
    When I import this library to Aperure 3 and synch this one to the iphone they are all in a random order.
    How can I set them to be sorted by date??
    They show in the correct order in Aperture!

    I have been synching my photos from Aperture 2 to an iPod Touch for several years. There has ever only been one sort order once they reach the iPod—in Projects and folders by name in alphabetical order. I keep them in Aperture by date, but they wind up in the iPod by name and I've never found a way to change that. So maybe the situation is different with iPhoto, because you say you've been able to get them into your phone by date.
    I'd say you've just joined the Aperture crowd, and all we get is alphabetical order.

  • Many original dates of photos are missing or wrong

    I have had a lot of issues with my iPhoto program. After many trips to the Genius Bar and numerous hours with phone techs, I am now rebuilding my library, starting with a backup of it from before the corruption. When I "get info" of a picture, I notice the original date the picture was taken (most important for me), is not there or is wrong.  When I check package contents of my iPhoto library, the originals show up, but most (not all) of the dates are wrong.  Can anyone tell me how or where I might find the original dates?

    Download and place this app in the Dock:   EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X. Then drag some of the problem photos original files from the iPhoto library package onto the app in the Dock.  You'll get this window where you can check the Image Generated date:
    If it's the same as what iPhoto is showing then the file is incorrect.  The date can be corrected in iPhoto with the Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu option:
