Pictures in albums are not staying in given order

I've made an album from several pictures I've uploaded to iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5) and plan to continue adding to it throughout the year. I want the pictures to be in a specific order, but it seems that whenever I quit the program, the next time I log in, they've rearranged themselves randomly.
Is there a way to set a specific order for pictures in an album and have them stay that way?

Barb1955,
When and how did this happen? What were you doing, when you first noticed, that your photos are missing? Were  you installing or upgrading software? Running maintainance scripts, cleaner applications? Importing new photos? Or did iPhoto crash all of a sudden? Has the size of your photo library changed? Is iPhoto the only program that is having trouble?
Does your iPhoto Library still contain your photos? Quit iPhoto, select the iPhoto Libary in the Finder (by default it is in your "Pictures" folder), ctrl-click the library and select "Show package contents" from the pop-up menu. In the Finder window that opens, look for folders named "Masters","Previews, "Originals", "Modified". Do you see any image files inside the subfolders of these folders?
If your photos are still inside your photo library, then try to repair rebuild the library. Check, if you have a backup of your iphoto library, before you rebuild; if not, make first a backup.
Then launch the library first aid panel by firmly pressing and holding the ⌥⌘-keys, while double clicking the iPhoto icon . Hold the keys down, until you see the panel. Then select "Rebuild database" from the panel.

  • Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

    iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
    It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.

    I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
    In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

  • How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

    How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

    Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.
    See Gropuing tracks into albums for details.

    When I'm playing my music on my iphine, the song and the album are not the same. Sometimes they are not even close to the same thing.

    You have to click on the song with the right click (or Option Click) and click on get information,
    in that menu you can define the order in the album

    If your pictures and video are not on the camera roll, I do not think your iPhone is taking pictures and video.
    You have already tried resetting and restarting your device.   Next, check whether your camera has been disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera.  If not, ask your Apple Authorized Service provider to check your device or contact Apple Support for help: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/

  • TS1424 Hello I just porchased and downloaded a new music album. Though the downloads were complete all the tracks on the album are not complete. What can I do?

    Hello I just porchased and downloaded a new music album. Though the downloads were complete all the tracks on the album are not complete. What can I do?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I purchased 2 albums on iTunes store 2 days ago. Now I discovered that albums are not downloaded

    I purchased 2 albums on iTunes store 2 days ago. Now I discovered that albums are not downloaded. Money has been paid. What should I do to download songs I paid for ?

    If using a computer's iTunes then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option, or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if they show for downloading there. If using an iOS device check to see if they show in the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app for downloading

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
    Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • Rules in Outlook are not processed in the order listed

    I have created a new rule today to filter out all email that is not directly sent to me to a folder called "process later" hanging off "Inbox"
    Problem is, even thou it is the last rule created, and appears to be at the bottom of the list, this seems to be the first rule that is executed.
    In order to fix, I need to go into "process later" folder and run all rules on it.
    Is there a way to fix this, w/o trying to re-create all the rules (I have like 40-50).

    I have same issue where rules are not processed in the order they are written.  All rules are "Client Only".  I sort email based on the information contained in the subject line.  Some should get filed into sub folders, some in the
    parent.  So,  I have a folder called QA and a sub-folder called QA-Project 1.
    #1 rule -- processes subject line looking for QA-Project 1 and puts it in QA-Project 1 folder
    #2 rule -- processes subject line looking only QA and puts it in QA folder
    Problem is when I run both these rules,  the email with subject "QA-Project 1" ends up in the QA folder and not the QA-Project 1 Folder.  So the rules are not processing sequentially.  Please help.
