  • Ipad photos not sorting correctly

    When you synce your photos the Ipad will not sort them by name but in numeric descending order so your photos will not display in the correct order and there is no other way to sort them unless you own a Mac with Iphotos.... Please fix

    I contacted an app maker and they are looking into expanding one of their existing photo apps to allow the iPad user to arrange the order.
    I think this is mostly a Windows issue, because I read on another thread that iPhoto on macs allow for sequencing and this carries over to the iPad. Also, if the iPad sequencing is done with the date, then they'll have to determine the best method for dealing with this with that app.
    If they do add the functionality to their app, I will post the info here.

  • Photos not sorted in iPAD from iphoto

    Hi,
    I'm trying to sync my photos in iphoto 9.5 with my ipad but the photo sorting order not coming the same as it's sorted in iphoto?!!
    Worth to mention, I just moved from my old MACbookpro to the latest one using time machine restore. in my old laptop all was working fine but since i moved to the new laptop the photo order got missed up even after sorting them correctly in iPhoto (View -> Sort photos -> by title).
    Need urgent assitance as this is effecting my work.

    Sharing between iPhoto and others apps is governed by a file in the Library package called the AlbumData.xml file. The other apps read this file to be aware of the iPhoto content. Your problem is here:
    My iPhoto library is housed on an external NAS (Buffalo Tech) device.
    When stored on a disk formatted anything except Mac OS Extended (Journaled) iPhoto can have problems formatting the XML file. Other folks report issues with saving edits and importing photos.
    The only solution is to have your Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Regards
    TD

  • Photos not sorting correctly by date; new photos appear before the oldest images in my library...

    I've tried nearly everything, but I'm still having this problem. I am using the same camera, so that's not the issue...

    Did you reset the Ascending or Descending feature of the sort option?  If you already have then try this basic fix:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Happy Holidays

  • My photos not sorted by date in photos

    my photos are no longer sorted by date after change to photos when viewed in all photos. Also how do you change the order from oldest to newest down the screen. An option for black background would be nice.

    The problems reported here occurred right after updating to iOS according to the users as TD mentioned. 
    It's a compatibility problem between iPhoto and iOS6 that the only workaround would be to possibly batch change the date of the photos in iPhoto . Therefore we'll have to wait for it to be fixed with either an iPhoto update or an iOS update, which ever Apple feels is the proper item to to be changed.
    If they update iPhoto first (which is probably what they'll do) it'll be called an iPhoto problem.

  • I-photo:  I used 2 cameras to take pictures on a trip --- i have put the pictures from both cameras into an album --- when i click on view and then sort by date, the pictures do not sort by date --- any ideas on how to get the pics sorted by date?

    I-photo:  I used 2 cameras to take pictures on a trip --- i have put the pictures from both cameras into an album --- when i click on view and then sort by date, the pictures do not sort by date --- any ideas on how to get the pics sorted by date?

    Select all the photos that you need to change, then click the "Photos" menu and choose "Adjust Date and Time".
    If you add a year, it will adjust all the photos that you selected by adding a year (so if you accidentally select one of the photos that already has "2012", that will change to "2013"). 

  • Some photos are not sorted correctly by date

    I just imported some photos from my friends camera who were on the same trip. However, I noticed that a couple (not all) of his photos are not sorted correctly by date in the Event. A photo from day 3 somehow comes before the photos from day 2. I checked the extended information and the dates on the photo are correct. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution? Thanks.

    It might be of some help to delete the photo cache. Please see this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Synced photos from iTunes not sorted correctly

    I have around 300 pics that I took with my iphone that I moved to a local folder on PC.
    I want to put those pics back on the iphone to use in a timelapse video.
    I enabled Photo sync on itunes and chose that folder, and synced.
    All synced OK, but these pics are not sorted correctly on the iphone.
    The file names on the PC are exactly as iphone assigned them when taken, and according to date taken.
    It is very important that they are sorted in ascending file name; any ideas how I can correct the sorting?
    Thanks.

    For those in this discussion concerned with the "Sort" order, the criteria is in the "metadata" date that changes when you adjust the photos.
    The directions below apply to Lightroom
    To keep the order you created you must make an adjustment to "ALL" photos at the same time such as increasing the contrast by (1) point.
    First select and change the contrast in the first photo in your collection, then select the remaining photos, click "Sync" The "Metatdata" date will change on all photos selected and will then import in the prper order.
    I should mention that I have renamed all photos so they have a name that is sequential but I don't know if that matters

  • 8.1 did not sort the sort order for events in photos app

    With 7000 photos in more than 300 events You must have them in alphabetic order as before in 7.1 The pictures are synced from iMac iPhoto. How to do a search. The events are not found by names

    When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
    The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
    There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events  not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.

  • ALL PHOTOS album not sorting by date???

    For some reason the ALL PHOTOS album is not sorting itself by date and time of when the photo was taken. They appear very random!
    I don't know why this is happening. The VIDEOS album is sorting properly by date and time of when it was taken. The BURSTS album is sorting fine too.
    It would be nice if there was an option to sort the ALL PHOTOS album by date. I know you can select the PHOTOS tab at the top and see photos sorted by date and time and place but I primarily use the ALL PHOTOS album and it just looks messy when it's not sorted properly. This was my go to in iPhoto and it was always sorted and images were easy to find.
    Anyone know of any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance
    j

    The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
    Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

  • Lightroom 5 will not sort scanned photo properly

    Lightroom 5.2, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I have some scanned photos from a trip to England in 1996. I have assigned to each photo the date it was taken. Lightroom clearly displays the date taken. But two photos will not sort properly by date, as you can see in the screen capture; the highlighted photo was taken August 31, 1996, and sorts between photos taken Sept 2, 1996 and Sept 3, 1996.
    Can anyone recommend a fix?

    I think it's the act of reading the metadata from the file that usually corrects inconsistencies in the catalog.
    In this case, it smells like it has to do with the LR's buggy handling of files that don't have capture time in their metadata:

  • Exports not in chronological order: How to export in CreateDate order.

    Hopefully this is an easy one but I can't figure it out. I have an event with about 850 pictures that were taken over a week's time. When originally imported into iPhoto they spanned several events because iPhoto by default creates one event per day. I subsequently merged all the events, and indeed the photos are in chronological order in iPhoto.
    When I export to a folder on the desktop (JPEG High quality, Full size) and then examine that folder, +the photos are no longer in the order taken.+ The first day's photos seem to be in the middle, for example. The photos were renamed with ascending number values, but, for example, image 086 appears about halfway down, behind, say, 487.
    It appears that the EXIF Create Date is not the criterion used to sort exported images(?) How can I get iPhoto to export this way? Who wants to look at a disk full of vacation images that are completely out of order. It seems to me to be the logical, default way to export a series of images.
    Help! Thank you!

    But when you export from iPhoto, it is iPhoto that names the files for export.
    Correct.
    If you export them at the Event level, it doesn't rename them in exif chronological order correctly
    Renaming in exif chroological order? Is that a feature? iPhoto does not rename files at all unless you tell it to. If you don't tell it to then it will export the files with the same name as they imported with.
    However, if you open the event and select all the photos and export as sequentially numbered files, it will number them correctly based on exif data.
    No it won't. It will export them as sequentially numbered files based on the sort you were using at the time of export, as OT points out. The sequential numbering has nothing to do with the exif data and everything to so with the sort order you have chosen in the Event or Album. Choose a different sort order in the Event and you'll get a different result.

  • Using FINDER - Organise photos in ascending chronological order

    In windows you can put your photos in filename order, date created, modified etc the same as Finder, however I cannot find how to choose to put photos in ascending chronological date order. When you choose Date created it organises them backwards from the most recent photo. I would never show holiday snaps backwards nor read a book backwards. I have multiple cameras and would like to collate all the photos together in the order they were taken.
    When you go into Adobe Bridge CS4 you can put into ascending or descending order and I tried to save this order into my Finder folder but it does not keep it.
    I was trying to avoid renaming my originals at this stage. I did a test and renamed a batch of photos in Adobe Bridge and it renumbers the photos etc but when you go into finder under list view the numbers are like 1,3,4....19,2,20,21 Bizarre.
    As I have too many photos and always change and add folders, I prefer not to organise albums etc through programs like iPhoto. I'd rather store the originals in FINDER (which is the equivalent to Windows). This way I can draw upon my photos via a photo organiser program if I want to for a specific project but can always find ALL of my photos at any time even if I've changed around the folders.
    Why can't APPLE allow something so simple as date created ascending and keep their numbering systems in order??? I just want my photos in date order for storage in FINDER. Can anyone help?

    ...but only for date modified not created.
    Not true. If you elect to have the Date Created field shown by checking the box for it in the Finder's View menu > View Options, it works exactly the same way for that field as for any other: just click the arrow to toggle the direction of sorting.
    There is no "thumbnail view" in the Finder (again, see the View menu for the four view options: icons, list, columns, and cover flow. I presume icon view is what you mean. You can sort the icons in icon view by creation date, but you can't reverse the sort order in that view. If that's what you're complaining about, then you're simply discovering belatedly that the Finder isn't a photo management application and doesn't meet your need for one. You'll need to use one to do what you want to do, and when you choose the right one, you'll realize how much better it is for that purpose than the Finder — not just in that one way, but in lots of others as well.
    Note that I'm not putting in a plug here for iPhoto, Bridge, GraphicConverter, Aperture, or any other app in particular: there are so many of them available that you should try a bunch and see which you like best.

  • IPhoto events not sorted right in iTunes/iPad

    I have a large number of events, sorted alphabetically, and 17,000 photos.
    Occasionally over the years, iTunes has listed the events in random order, or chronological order, making it difficult for me to find and check the events I want to sync to my devices. In the past, deleting the iPod photo cache inside the iPhoto library would fix the problem, but that's not working now. Also, the contents of each event are deliberately sorted differently in iPhoto, depending on the event. For some events, I want the oldest photo as the key photo for the event, and for others, I want the newest photo. This is still working in iPhoto, but now when I look at photos on the iPad or iPhone, the events are also sorted internally by date, oldest to newest. My event list is also sorted chronologically, oldest to newest, making it very difficult to find older events. I've tried changing the sort settings in iPhoto, with no effect on the sorting seen on the iDevice.
    I'm using iPhoto 9.4, iTunes 10.7, iPad 2, and 2 iPhone 4's.
    Anyone know how to fix this??? Thanks.

  • One album will not sort by date

    I have 5000 or so photos that I've spent weeks organizing and rating.
    I set up smart albums with rules to include only specific keyword identified pictures then combed thru all the pictures asssigning keywords (e.g. Spouse, Scenery, Wildlife, People...etc).
    Afterwards I rate the pictures. Following that I set up another smart album corresponding to each original and select only the 4 and 5 star rated ones. I then assign the keyword "Slideshow" to all those using batch update.
    Finally I was organizing my final smart album by selecting all pictures with the keyword "Slideshow" in a single smart album.
    As each collection of pictures was pulled into the slideshow album they remained sorted by date until the final one. The final group of photos went to the back of the bus. Nothing I do will make them properly merge with the rest in date sequence. If you look at the information the dates still are properly set, but they will not sort. When I looked for them in the library folder they are improperly sorted there as well.
    Now here is the thing: I changed the title of each album before pulling it into the Slideshow album. I did this to assign a name and sequential number to each picture that made the final cut. On the album giving me problems I mistakenly first changed the name to the date instead of to text. I quickly realized my error and changed it back but evidently by then I had hosed things up. Even though the information still shows all the date info properly, it behaves as if the date was now the current date.
    Is there any way to resolve this issue?

    I can sort by Title and I can sort by Date however the entries do not set themselves up chronologically, for instance this is the sort sequence after I sort by Date.
