Photos don't show up in file name order

Photos don't show up in file name order on the iPad. Is there a way to do it?

Apparently from reading other forum posts Apple iPad sorts photos by the date stamp.
Clearly this is not suitable or feasable for people with large photo collections. Currently only people with Apple OS (iPhoto can create a sort order).. The rest of us with Windows based systems are left high & dry.
Does anyone know how to report a bug / problem to Apple ? They have no way of contacting them via email.
They need to have the sorting option in iTunes or within the iPad software itself... ie. Allow sorting by file name, etc.

  • HT4221 Synched Photos from PC should be in File Name Order, not by last modified date

    Since installing IOS 7 the sorting of my photos from my PC sent to my Iphone have become totally random.
    Apple claims the files are by Last Date Modified.
    I have a very detailed file naming system on my PC which makes Photo Retrieval by Date, Name, Subject easy.
    Is there any software that recognizes the Windows File Name?  The sequence file names given during SYNCH are useless.

    When you import into iPhoto, each imported set goes into a folder called Last Import.
    One way to do what you want without losing your organization:
    iPhoto / File / Import to Library. Navigate to the first folder on the pc. and click on Import. The contents of the folder on the PC will all come together.
    On the Mac the photos will be in the folder called Last Import.
    On the Mac, create a new folder with the name you want. (File Menu / New folder)
    Move the photos as a batch (select all) from the Last Import folder to the one you just named.
    Do this as many time as you have folders.

  • How to Get Albums in File-Name-Order Photo

    When I updated my iPod Touch to V4.0 and iTunes (V9 on Windows XP) re-synced it, I found that my photo albums were now in Picture Date order rather than PC file name order. I tried several things that didn't work.
    What worked was using the Photoshop Essentials Organizer to change the picture date on all the photos in an album to the same date and time (this can be done to all selected photos in one operation).
    I did the sync in two steps. First I moved the album out of the iTunes photos directory and then synced my iPod which deleted the album. Then I moved it back and re-synced.
    Does anyone know of an easier trick? I’ve already submitted a feedback item to Apple that they should make file-name-order an option in iTunes
    Andy…

    The trick that I used is to append the URL with the name of the file. So if your url is "http://domain.com/attach", use "http://domain.com/attach/filename.doc". IE and Netscape parse the URL to determine what the filename is, so by placing this text at the end, you essentially let the browsers know what the filename is. :)
    I have design a program to get the attach file from an
    attachment. But when I click the link to save the
    file, the default name of the file is 'attach'
    whenever I get different files. Who know what is the
    problem, please tell me the truth.
    Here are some codes of the program.<< snip >>

  • After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

    After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

    Possible iTunes issue:
    Try the following after adding photos.
    Go to file
    Then Home Sharing
    Select photos to share
    Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
    When Apply turns black click on Apply
    Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
    Or restart iTunes.
    Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
    Hopefully will work for you.

  • Files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML and i cannot open why

    files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML for example tester.doc.XML, is there any reason?  I cant open these on mac, if i put it back in PC is shows file as normal without .XML.  Confused.com any ideas.

    I have files on my work laptop (PC) e.g. document1.doc (word document), I then save it to my memory stick (which i have reformatted, I also tried my external disk drive) and then take that to my macbook, plug it in and in finder it then shows as document1.doc.XML, which i cannot open.  It happens to all types of files, it just seems to add .XML on the end of everything.

  • I have a Nikon S6300 and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in events or photos only in recent imports

    I just purchased a Nikon S6300 camera and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in either photos or events only in recent imports. 
    I have Snow Leopard on my MacMini.

    Control-click one of the photos under the Recent import and select "Show Event" in the contextual menu. Or you can use the View ➙ Sort Events menu in the Events mode to reset the sort order so the new import will be either at the top or bottom of the list.

  • How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?

    How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
    For example: DSC_0022.jpg

    Hello,
    Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
    However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.

    I know it can be showed at the left bottom through adobe printer, but i need it to be at the right bottom.
    thanks.

  • How do I view imported pictures in file name order?

    I have an extensive picture library on my NAS which I would like to see on my iPad and/or AppleTV. I have made folders available for viewing and I've also imported some actual JPEG files to the iPad using iTunes. Try as I might, I cannot get these files to display in file name order (they are all named by date and time). Is there a way?

    Not using the built in photos app. You'll need to search for a third party app. I'm afraid I don't have any to recommend because I've never looked for any, but the default for the built in app is to sort by date/event.

  • Why reservation don't show decimal same as process order?

    When i create process order 001 its require Mat.A 0.95 ZET, the problem is when see reservation at MB26 its whow order 001 require 1 ZET, Why it's don't show 0.95 as process order require?
    Information: Base unit of Mat.A = SET, Unit of issue of Mat.A = ZET, alternative unit is 1 ZET = 1 SET.
    In T-code CUNI, decimal places rounding of unit SET = blank, decimal places rounding of unit ZET = 4.
    we wouldn't like to set decimal places rounding of unit SET = 4 because, they think its will impact to other material which use unit SET. for this reason we create new unit name "ZET"
    Can any senior has solution to make reservation to show decimal when BOM use unit ZET.
    or not have the way and back to set Mat.A to user unit SET in BOM and set decimal places rounding of unit SET = 4. but this way they concern about risk.

    Dear,
    Please try with the customizing settings in t.code " CUNI " ---> Units of Measurement
    1.) Take your Units of measure, go to details Screen
    2.)There u can see the entry Box with " Decimal Places". Type in u'r option and save.
    This might solve u'r Query.

    Elements 10 / Folder Mode sorts files in "file name" order; is there a way to do this in Elements 11

    No not automatically.
    You can p-lace them into an album and then choose Album Order from the dropdown menu and they will remain fixed.

  • Some photos don't show in LIbrary view--just the outlines of them

    Tonight I tried to transfer a bunch of digital photos from a CD my daughter burned into my iPhoto library, into the 2006 year folder.
    I opened the CD and in the icon view, the pictures looked fine--jpeg files.
    After I transferred them, these pictures don't show in my initial iPhoto window (the one that opens first when you click on iPhoto in the Dock, and shows all the pictures in my Library sorted by (in my case) roll/date.
    Then photo thumbnails from years prior to 2005 show up, fine, but for the most recent year of pictures, all I get are the outlines of where the thumbnails ought to show. When I click on one of the blank thumbnails, of course I get a blank ...but the frame in the lower left shows the ID info for the picture and the picture counts, etc.
    I can open the folders from the Pictures file and see them...they just won't show up in the overall Library window.
    So...I moved the transferred ones out of the iPhoto library and just put them in the Pictures folder for now.
    But what did I do? And how do I "fix it" to make all the thumbnails show up again? This is probably some simple thing...but I can't figure it out. I tried showing just the last 12 months...and I get all the blank outlines.
    G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Using iPhoto 5, 768MB RAM,

    Hi john,
    First problem. You need to import photos into the iPhoto Library the correct way which is while iPhoto is open. Drag the photos out of where you put them (you already did) now you can import them into iPhoto from there.
    Read on for more info....--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
    --All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
    Now to get to your next problem...do a "get info" on your iPhoto Library folder.
    Get info on the iPhoto Library folder
    Make sure the owner is you and you have read/write" permission. If not, click the lock to unlock and change to you as the owner with Read/write. Click the button at the bottom.

  • New Photos Don't Show On My Apple TV -- Is There a limit? An "Update" button? ...?

    I have my Apple TV 2nd gen set so that after two minutes is shows photos from my computer as screensaver.
    I have an album in iPhoto where I drag the photos I want and I've told the Apple TV to pick up those photos.  Has always worked fine.
    Recently I added some pictures to that album but they don't show on the Apple TV -- just the previous photos are on display.  Is there a limit?  There are 94 photos in that album.  Have I forgotten some sort of "update" button? ...
    All the settings both on the Apple TV and my iTunes look fine and I recently ran whatever update Apple wanted me to (I had this photo hiccup both before and after that upgrade so that ain't it).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Possible iTunes issue:
    Try the following after adding photos.
    Go to file
    Then Home Sharing
    Select photos to share
    Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
    When Apply turns black click on Apply
    Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
    Or restart iTunes.
    Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
    Hopefully will work for you.

  • Exporting Photos to Web Service Retaining Modified File Name

    I recently started using iPhoto 08 to edit and organize my photos. In 2008 we took nearly 10,000 pictures. I have used and would like to continue using Winkflash as my photo printing service. What I like best about Winkflash is that they print the name of the photo on the back of the pictures. Before I upload the pictures, I edit them and modify the file name to the date, who's in the picture, and where the event is. When my photos arrive, I don't have to label the back as all the information is already there.
    In November I started using iPhoto 08. After editing and renaming (using the Batch Change > Title option) and entering information about each picture in the title frame on over 2,000 photos, I started uploading them to Winkflash. Much to my dismay, the file name was not retained. ARGHHH! (To rename the photos, I use the international date format so the pictures are chronological; i.e. 20081231 New Year Eve - 01 Ron)
    I used Winkflash's image uploader and dragged and dropped the images from iPhoto. Why is it not retaining the file name but reverting back to the camera's IMG_XXX?
    Message was edited by: blondiedo

    Because adding a Title is not the same a renaming a file.
    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue you have the option (among others) to set the Kind: to JPEG and then to use the Title as Filename. Complete the export to the desktop where iPhoto will make a copy of the files with your desired filename. Upload those.
    Failing that, ask your Print Service to support standard IPTC metadata.
    Regards

  • Aperture photos don't show on iTunes synch

    Synching with iPhoto works fine, butI can't see any photos when attempting to synch to Aperture. As noted in another post, Projects don't show up. It does see smart albums, but with a zero photo count for all. Any thoughts on why? Do Aperture photos have to be managed in the library vs referenced in order to be seen and synched? [All of my photos are references to outside image files.] Does it matter that the Aperture library is maintained in a non-standard location?
    //Chris Freeborn

    in the photos tab of the A-TV setup, there's a label near the top that says, "Sync photos from:" and a pull-down menu next to it. from here you can choose either iPhoto or Aperture. you have to have Aperture selected in order to sync them and see your albums.
    also, make sure that you've got at least Aperture 1.5, but preferably 1.5.2 and that you've got previews turned on and being generated for new albums. finally, there's also a setting in the preferences to share the previews with other iLife apps. i think iTunes needs that to be able to see/sync photos.
