Photostream Slideshow Ordering

Hello all,
I've done a search and haven't been able to find an answer to the issue I'm seeing. We have created an icloud photostream of pictures of our newborn baby. We would like to view them in chronological order in a slideshow (or screensaver) on our apple tv. It seems impossible to do this. When viewing the photostreams in the menu, the photos in the photostream preview display correctly in chronological order. When I go into the photostream I want to use for the slideshow, and try to start a slideshow, it ends up in reverse chronological order.
I can understand why they would have the pictures in reverse chronological order when viewing, but it seems fundamentally broken when the menu shows the pictures in the right order, and when you go to a slideshow, it shows it in reverse order, and there's no way to change it, unless I'm missing something.
I've seen mention of file names, and dates, and I can safely say that file names and the dates of the pictures are all in proper order (all of the photos were taken by the same camera which names the files sequentially). As are the days on which they were uploaded into the shared photostream.
Is there something I can do to make the slideshow start with the first image uploaded to the photostream?
Thanks for your help.

Were you able to find a solution to this problem, I'm having the exact same issue with photos appearing in a scattered order.

  • Photostream slideshow - will photos automatically be added?

    For a work project I need to stream and update photos to a television at a mall several miles away. I'd like to do that from here at my desk.
    I'm thinking about buying an AppleTV and use that to run a photostream slideshow at the mall and manage the photostream from iPhoto at my desk.
    My question is, will the AppleTV look for and add my new photos to the slideshow it's continuously playing?
    For example, if I had the slideshow just running at the mall, and I went into iPhoto at my desk and dropped a photo into that photostream, would it get added to the AppleTV at the mall without me manually going there and restarting the slide show?
    This solution won't work for me if I have to drive to the mall and manually restart the show every couple days.
    Thanks in adavance, -Jacob

    Brady,
    I've actually seen this as well. Some update along the way must have fixed this issue. With my project, I've been driving to the mall to reset the show to get the new images. However, I've sometimes noticed that the new images are already in there. I'm glad to hear someone else noticed this as well.

  • Photo slideshow order problems

    Im using ATV2 withy mac. I have linked the ATV2 to my folder of digi photos via itunes (ie i am not sharing the photos via iphoto - prefer picasa!).
    On ATV when i try to play a photo slideshow the photos are played in filename order only. This is a major problem when a folder has been populated by photos taken from two different cameras. It also causes problems with movies which arent played in order either.
    It seems the ATV2 is crying out for an option to play the slideshow in order of date/time photo/movie taken. This is what happens when syncing your photos to your iphone!
    I have tried somework arounds ie renamer or batch renaming the files in picasa. However, it appears the mac is deficient via finder in working out when the photo was actually taken. ie it gives you a filename created or modified date but this isnt consistent with the metadata of the photo of time photo taken.
    Does anyone have any work arounds/suggestions? Please help!!

    I don't have this problem using iPhoto, obviously it's your choice which software you use.

  • When networking, iPhoto loses slideshow order and setting

    I am airport streaming iPhoto slideshows from my iMac to my Macbook Pro. The shared folders show up on my Macbook Pro, seemingly in a completely random order irrespective of the order in my iMac iPhoto where my library is kept. I have a couple of dozen slideshows nested in category folders here, but none of the subfolders show up on the Macbook Pro, so that the slideshows are all lumped together in the root folder.
    But the most annoying problem is that the slideshow settings I have carefully set up on my iMac - duration, KB effect, music etc - do not show up on my remote Macbook Pro! I have to reset everything, only to lose it next time I log on.
    Am I missing something here, or is this a real show-stopper for using my Macbook Pro on my home network using Front Row in the living room?

    The sharing feature does not recognise sub-folders.
    You can't share slideshows, only the photos in them:
    From the Help:
    you can choose to share *the photos* in your library, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, and cards with up to five of those computers.
    If you want to stream a slideshow you'll need to export it as a Quicktime Movie first (File -> Export)

  • Shared Photostream: Photo Order for Public Web site

    I create a Shared Photostream.
    I add pictures to the Photostream.
    The people getting the stream who are on iOS devices see the photos in the order they were added to the stream.
    First In, First Out.
    However, when I create the Public Website it appears that the photos are in the reverse order.
    The last ones added to the stream are the first one seen.
    Is the photo order just a coincidence? Or should there be a pattern to it? Consistent with the Website?
    Thanks!

    This is what they will be emailed:

  • Slideshow order of photos

    Creating a slideshow of an album using the create button, the photos do not show in the order of the album. I would like the order of photos to stay in the original order.

    This works for exporting photo albums, so something like it might work for slide show:
    1. Select your album and all the photos in it.
    2. Go to Export under File
    3. Change File Name option to Sequential
    4. Where it says "Prefix for Sequential" type in the exact name of your album.
    That's it! When you hit Export, the photos stay in perfect order!

  • Slideshows order changed

    Is there any way to reverse the order of the slides?? I created a slideshows in iphoto 08, and I don't know what I did, but I changed the order of the slides, they are in the correct sequence, but it starts with the last slide.
    This is my first macbook, so I am kind of lost, I just don't want to do it all over again for the 180 slides!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes there is. In the slideshow mode select all of the photos in the thumbnail tray at the top - Shift-click on the first and last photo in the tray. Then put the cursor on the end photo and drag it to the far left/beginning of the tray. That will reverse the order.

  • Slideshow - Order of Images - Sorting

    The only sorting optons for collections and playing a slideshow are:
    Capture time
    Import order
    Edit time
    Edit count
    Rating
    Pick
    Color Label
    File Name
    File Extension
    File Type
    Aspect ratio
    User order
    Through a combination of ratings and color labels, I have trimmed 2400 photos to about 500. For the most part, I want the photos arranged in the order of the capture time. But for wide and closeup shots of the same scene, I want the wide shots to appear first in the slideshow, followed by the related close-up shots. At this point, and given the large number of photos for the slide show, the only alternative above that allows for rearranging the order is "User order".
    I don't see where the user specifies the input field or metadata for "user order." I thought it may be related to the order the user clicks images into the collection, but this is not the case.
    It appears there is no way to drag and drop or insert images using a mouse to rearrange the order. That would be ideal and consistent with the visual design of Lightroom.
    Can anyone help with rearranging the order? I don't want to edit the image capture time solely to rearrange a slideshow. This would be very cumbersome.

    After more testing with a smaller sample, the user order is the sequence the photos were added to the collection. When I first experimented with this, the user order of my test sample was the same as image capture time because I did a massive import to the collection (rather than photo by photo). When I was expecting a different sort order for image capture vs user order, I did not realize the sort order in my particular situation would be identical.
    So the work-around to specify a precise order is to first select and edit all of the photos for inclusion or exclusion from the slideshow. Then add the draft slide show picks into a second collection one by one in the exact order desired in the final slideshow. For sorting the final collection, select the last option - User select.
    There should be an easier way to accomplish this task. With 500 photos to arrange in order, it would be easy to make a mistake and miss a photo or put one in the wrong place. Perhaps you could change the color code after adding a photo to a collection to help in keeping track of the rearranging / sorting. This adds time to the already slow and tedious process.
    Any other ideas?

  • Changing Slideshow Order

    I have created a slideshow on my Muse site but my photos are showing in reverse order. On my Layers panel under Slideshow, I rearranged my photos in the order that I want them to display (see picture)...
    The first picture that should show in my slideshow when I preview it is front.jpg and the last photo should be back.jpg.  However my autoplay slideshow is displaying back.jpg first, then backdeck.jpg second, centralbath.jpg third and so on... with front.jpg being the last photo being showed in my slideshow.  The only way to correct this is by enabling Thumbnails (where they show in the incorrect, backwards order) and manually dragging and dropping each individual picture one at a time to its correct order.  Why are the thumbnails showing in the reverse order from how they are listed in the Layers window and furthermore, why isn't there a way to reverse the order of the thumbnails instead of dragging each picture one at a time?  It's not a big deal to manually drag to the correct order if it's only a few pictures but each of my slideshows are sometimes 30+ pics.  And why do I have to fix this in the Thumbnail view, especially if I am not using thumbnails in my slideshow?  Many thanks for the help!

    Hello,
    The slideshow renders in a sequence with which images were added in the Slideshow widget and it has nothing to do with the sequence in the layers panel.
    Changing the sequence by enabling the thumbnails is the only workaround for this.
    I agree that it can be a good feature request. hence I would suggest you to please post it on the ideas sections of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

  • Do i have to have my photos saved to photostream in order to view them on pc?

    I recently lost my ipod and I didn't have the pictures saved to my photostream, Can i still access them?

    You don't have to use photo stream at all in order to get your camera roll photos on your computer.  You can also import them using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.
    If you want to use photo stream, any photos you add to your camera roll on your iOS devices are added to your photo stream when certain conditions are met (the device is connected to wifi, has the camera app closed and bas at least 20% battery life remaining).  These photos are then streamed to all your iOS devices and computers sharing the photo stream.  Each photo only remains in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for your devices/computers do download it, and is then removed from iCloud.  On you PC, these photos are found in your iCloud photo folder (called Photo Stream by default).  If you delete a photo from this folder, or from the corresponding folder on any of your iOS devices (the My Photo Stream album), it is deleted from all of them.  That's why you must periodically copy these photos to a different folder on your PC if you want to keep them indefinitely without worrying that they might be inadvertently deleted from one of your iOS devices.  With that as background, the answers to your questions are:
    You can permanently save a photo stream photo on your PC in the Photo Stream folder, but it is vulnerable to being deleted if it is deleted from any of your iOS devices.  As a precaution, it is therefore important to copy them to a different folder to prevent this.
    You can never redownload photo stream photos older than 30 days from iCloud as they only remain there for 30 days.  At any point in time, only photos added in the last 30 days are available.
    You would have to use a utility program the find duplicate filenames, then restrict it to looking only for photo stream files (.jpg, .png).
    If you need to free up space on your phone you'll have delete or sync data off of it.  One way is to delete some of your photos & videos.  Import them to your computer using your usb cable first; you will get an option to delete them after they are imported.  Photos imported this way will permanently stay on your computer and are not at risk of being deleted by deleting them from any of your other devices.

  • Slideshow order?

    When I right click on a photo in Finder and select Slideshow, my photos seem to be displayed in a random order. Is there a way to make it follow some other sequence such as filename or date created?

    If you put the folder into Column view, then select the photos, and then do Slideshow they will show in alphanumeric order. It is a Finder bug for icon and list views that has never been fixed, and affects other Finder operations as well.
    You can also drag the photos into Preview application, make sure the drawer is open, then control click in the drawer and select the sort order you want, or reselect by name to force the proper sort order.

  • Digital Photo Frame won't shuffle slideshow order DF780B2

    My DF780B2 digital frame has a shuffle option, but it does not actually shuffle/randomize the display order.  
    Is there a known problem and solution?  A software update that I can download and install on the frame?

    Google Kazaa codec pack. Theres a bundle of codecs that should in theory fix that. While yes it may say that it can handle mpeg 1 2 and 4, theres about 5 different codecs for each one. You may have the ones that will allow your pc to play them, but it doesnt mean the converter specifically supports them.
    In all honesty movie conversion software is no end of hassles anyway. I have things like that with my ipod touch. Ill sometimes need to convert one movie into 4 different formats in 4 different converters before my ipod will even recognise them.
    Im no expert, but this should help, im sure someone will point it out if im wrong.

  • Manually arranging files in finder for slideshow order?

    I have a folder full of photo files from a recent vacation. Half of them are from my camera, half from my boyfriend's camera, and they all are named as the original file name the cameras gave them. I want to arrange them in chronological order, blending the two sets of photos together, to view as a slide show (ideally right from the finder window itself).
    I turned off sorting and arranging so that I can manually move the icons around, but when I go into slide show mode it reverts to showing them in order of the names.
    Besides renaming all 300 files in numerical order, do I have a way to drag these into an order that will stick?
    Thanks!

    I found a way to kind of manually sort files in a folder...
    I’m doing this on Maverick.
    This doesn't work when you are in "View as Icons" mode.
    Click on file.
    Command + i (for “Get Info” in the File menu).
    An Info window of that file will pop up.
    Click on the arrow to expand the "Comments:" tab.
    Type a number ("1" for if you want the file to be first in the list, "5" if you want it to be the fifth, etc.). Or you could use letters.
    Exit out of the Info window.
    Command + J (for "Show View Options" in View menu).
    Click the box next to "Comments." Make sure a checkmark appears.
    Click Use As Defaults so Comments will show up every time. It will show up for every folder you open (as long as the folder has at least one file showing). So, hopefully that doesn't annoy you.
    Now there is a new column called "Comments" in your Finder window.
    You can drag the "Comments" column to any position (like right after the "Name" column) if you want.
    When you click the Comments column, it will sort the files in numerical order (based on what you put for your comments). Or alphabetical order if you chose to use letters instead of numbers.
    Still haven't figured out how to make this sorting option default since Comments isn't one of the options to Sort By in the View Options window. So, you'd have to click the Comments column to sort the numbers each time you open that folder.

  • Order of Slideshow Photos

    The 600 photos in my slideshow are suddenly in exact reverse order (600 down to 1). I don't remember altering the photo order of the slideshow, though I was recently sorting the full Library by keyword, date, etc. Is there any function that will restore (flip) the slideshow order, short of dragging all the photos manually?

    If this did not fix the problem there may be a problem with your iPhoto Library; perhaps the Cache is not readable: Try Old Toad's fix here:
