Photos on iphone 4 not in chronological order

I received my new iPhone 4G today and set it all up. I set it up new with the last backup of my previous iPhone. All of my old photos from my previous iPhone were successfully loaded onto my new iPhone. But, they are not in order. I'm talking about photos that I took on my previous iPhone or added to my album from the web and emails. These were always in chronological order - in order of when they were shot or added. Now all of my photos are all over the place with no rhyme or reason which makes it really difficult to find anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? HELP!!!

I have the same exact problem. I even intentionally edited all of my photos on my 3GS before I upgraded, and they were in perfect chronological order prior to swapping to my new iPhone 4. Now every one of my photos seems to have no rhyme or reason to the order of the images, except the newest ones appear to be following each other which may indicate it's calculating something based on geolocation or date in addition to the filename, which is just plain dumb.
I would like my images able to be viewed in chronological order and by filename not by date or whatever other criteria it's using.
Help.....

  • IPhoto events are created NOT in chronological order

    Hey  -
    I noticed that recently when I plug in the iphone or any camera to the computer to transfer photos into the computer, the event that's created is at the END of the iphoto main page. 
    So if I upload something that I took today, it will park that event icon down at the end near my photos from 07.
    It used to create an event at the head of all the photos (reverse chronological order) - such that upper left hand corner square was the most recent pics and so on.
    Anyone know how to fix?
    I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 in iLife '09.

    This seems to be a common problem after the upgrade to iOS 8 upgrade., for example: Re: Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8
    There is nothing that can be done about it. Sorting of synced events  is not supported in the Photos.app.
    To speed up a bug fix send feedback to the Developers using this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
    iTunes Photo sync will be discontinued soon. The iCloud Photo Library will replace it early next year in Photos for MacOS X. Already, with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you can no longer sync your iPhoto library to your iOS devices using iTunes at all. 

  • 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.

  • Incorrect dates on events causing events to be not in chronological order

    I have had all kinds of trouble with the dates and order of events in 08. When I click on Reveal in Finder and hit the Info button I can see the correct recorded date in the info box but in 08 under the heading of the Event it shows up as a completely different strange date like 01/01/1904. I am using the international date system in my video cameras: day / month/ year. I couldn't find anywhere to confirm that 08 preferences were set to that date system and that is the only thing I can think of that may be causing the problem.
    Can anyone give me some advice on how to correct the dates and get my events to go into the correct chronological order?
    Thanks....Kevin

    Hi Karsten
    Thanks for taking the time to reply. As I mentioned in my previous posting, it is not a date stamp problem because when I click get info it shows the correct recorded date in the info box. That's what I can't understand. I have imported things from different cameras including digital photo cameras and even when I open my iphoto videos they are always jumbled in a mess with videos from the same event ending up scattered everywhere in iMovie 08. That's why I thought maybe it was set up to read the US date system and not the international date system. One more problem with 08 is when you import DV video. If you import PAL it always says 'You have successfully imported about 52 minutes of video' when in fact you have imported about 62 minutes. When you import NTSC it tells you have imported about 62 minutes. I surprised they haven't addressed this basic mistake considering 08 has been out for some time now and half the world uses PAL. That's what made me think it may have been an oversight and they design it to only read the US date system which is only used in the US. I live in Japan and Japanese products use the Japanese date system which is Year, Month, Day which adds even more confusion with all the stuff I use. Anyway as I mentioned I have all my equipment set with the International date system which is Day, Month, Year, so I wonder if that has anything to do with the problem?
    Thanks...Kevin

  • Delete photo from iPhone, NOT from Mac/iCloud

    Hello,
    I scanned a bunch of images recently, and I noticed they were all automatically going to the photo stream when I imported them.  I believe I turned that off in preferences, but the ones I've already scanned that way are taking up space on my photo stream.  I went to delete those same images from my phone, but it says that will delete them from all devices.
    How can I delete the photos in the photo stream on my iPhone while keeping them on my Macbook air's Photos?
    Thanks!
    Joss

    Icloud Photo Library is not an archive. If you wish to archive all photos before deleting some try another service like Dropbox. This also gives you another, independent, backup which is always a good idea when using a product labelled, "Beta".

  • Mail search results are not in chronological order.

    when I search for mail the results in iOS7 aren't in chronological order anymore. Both on my iphone 5 and my iPad 2.

    Do a sync.

    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

  • Facebook 10.4.0.12 - BB10 Z10 - Update - Page Posts Scrambling Issues - Not in Chronological Order - New Posts Not Showing...

    Regarding the Facebook App...
    Even since the last update (10.4.0.12) the posts on all FB Pages and Friend Timelines are out of chronological order (scrambled) and only show older posts (you cannot see any new posts).
    This was not an issue with the preveious version of the Facebook app.   Blackberry users are extremely upset about this and require some type of communication from Blackberry about a near future fix or an option to return to the previous version of the Facebook app.  
    For Blackberry users who manage Facebook Pages for Business on-the-go, this update has crippled them.
    Why would Blackberry release an update with such a massive functionality set-back?
    Did Blackberry not test the App prior to releasing the update?
    So many Blackberry users are upset.  Many are leaving blackberry for android or iOS.  Just read the reviews on the Facebook app in Blackberry World.   Blackberry might be able to save some of these Blackberry users by communicating to its customers and ensuring them that there will be a fix in the near future.  To most BB users, a properly functioning Facebook app is crutial and is their most frequently used app on their device.
    Again, BLACKBERRY...  Communication please!...
    #1)  Is Blackberry working on a fix for this issue?  If so, when will the update be available?
    #2)  For the time being, can BB users revert to the previous version of the FB App?
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    #1) BlackBerry never gives forward looking information.  Even if they were working on a fix (and hopefully they are) they wouldn't tell us.
    #2) BlackBerry gives no official method of downgrading.  However, a quick Google search found this:  http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-10-apps-f274/if-anyone-wants-go-back-facebook-10-3-0-2-here-...
    It looks like it's just a bar file so I recommend using Sachesi to load it.  Here are some instructions for using Sachesi.  The instructions are for installing Snap (which, if you don't have it, I highly recommend if you're on OS 10.2.1.xxx) and you can use the same instructions for installing the Facebook bar file(s)
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Downloaded-Applications-for/You-Upgraded-to-OS-10-2-1-and-wan...
    The other option is to use Snap to install the Android version of Facebook.  I hear it works well.

  • HT3965 Why are my photos from iPhone NOT coming up on my iPad.  Same account for iCloud??

    I can't sync photos from iPhone onto iPad. I have same iCloud acct for both

    If you are talking about PhotoStream then it only transmits newly taken photos or just saved saved photos. Of course you have to turn PhotoStream On on each of your devices. See Settings > iCloud > Photos > Photostream.
    If you just want to move selected photos between devices you can use an App like Photo Transfer:

  • Why are my photos on iPhone not showing up on the iPad?

    photo stream is on both the iPad and iPhone but the pics on my iPhone are not showing up on the ipad

    I'm not sure how true this is..... Then again I'm not sure I totally understand this whole cloud thing yet. But I have 742 photos on my photo stream on my iPhone and only 144 of them on my iPad. I turned off photo stream on the iPad and turned it back on and it loaded even less then the original 144 pics. I'm at a loss. They were all synced with my iPad until recently.  And if this statement is true about syncing only the new ones since turning on photo stream then my iPad photo stream would have loaded zero pics. What happened?

  • Iphoto remove photos from iphone not working

    For the past couple months iphoto will not delete the photos from my iphone. It successfully imports them, prompts to delete, appears to delete but doesn't actually remove them. They are still on my iphone. iphoto recognizes that they have already been imported and asks to delete them again the next time I plug in my phone, I accept, looks like something is happening but they are still there. I've tried image capture as well and there is no way to delete off the phone in image capture. Help!?

    Can it be, that you have enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.3?  Then you can import photos from the phone, but deleting from Image Capture or iPhoto will not work, if the photos are in iCloud Photo Library.

    Delete the photos directly on the iPhone or using the icloud webpage -
    Use the "Photos Beta" app on your iCloud page:

  • Photos from iPhone not showing on iMac

    I have taken several pictures today with my iPhone and after several hours, they are not showing in Photos on my iMac.  Pictures that I have imported to the iMac are showing on the iPhone.  I have set up both devices to use iCloud and both devices appear to be set correctly.
    How long should it take for pictures from iPhone to appear on the iMac?
    Help!!
    Thanks!

    A couple of thoughts here - have you updated both devices to latest OS operating system? Then make sure that you have signed out of iCloud on both devices at the same time.  You might check to see if you have any photos on the iCloud website as well.  If you do, decide if you want to deleter them or not?  I used my iMac as the base file since it had all of my picture history.  When this is done, turn on iCloud Photo on your Mac either using System Preferences or opening Photos and turning in iCloud Photo.  If you have a large number of photos and videos, the sync process the first time is going to take time. I have over 9500 pics and videos in my collection, and it took almost 4 days to get through this.  Also - check to make sure you do not have energy saving settings that disconnect the Mac during this process.  Let it run - it should complete.  You can check progress in Photos and see when this is done.  Then when all photos and videos are sync'd,, then turn on the iPhone and let it run until done.  This will also take time depending on the size of your file.
    If you are not getting connected - make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.
    Here's hoping this might work!
