Problems syncing photos; they sync in random order not date order.

Since updating my iPad 2 to iOS 5 my photos won't sync in date order within their folders. They used to stay in the same date order as they are on my PC before the update. I've tried deleting all photos and then putting them all back on but no luck. Any ideas?

I've checked out lots of the other discussions on this problem and some think it's a change in the ordering in the iOS 5 update; previously they were synced by date but now it's by file name. This doesn't follow for mine though as they aren't syncing in file name order either. Someone suggested trying to rename files which I think I'll try next but I don't hold out much hope! I tried the Genius bar but the "genius" had no ideas! Tried apple support but it wants me to pay a one off fee to get any help. I don't think it's too much to ask to have your photos in chronological order, after all that's what we used to do in good old-fashioned photo albums!
Nice to hear I'm not the only one frustrated though- thanks for the reply!

  • HT4236 (PC) When I sync a folder of photos, they sync to the generic photo library on my iPhone, but it creates another folder with duplicates of the pictures. How do I prevent/get rid of this second folder?

    Um... that does not contain "duplicates".
    It's just a view that shows you everything that's in your other albums and events in one place...

  • Creating a photo book and photo in RIGHT side pane are not in order. Making it hard to make my book

    I am trying to make a Book. I have alot of photos and i dont like how iphoto is not putting them all in. So i created my own book and added alot of pages with 4-11 pic. average per page. however, when i try to add my photos from the right side panel they are not in order. i can not figure out for the life of me how to get them into order and why that are out of order in the first place

    With '11 the photo in the book pane are in data order - the only suggestion I've seen is to put them in an album and order them the way you want and use the batrch change time and date to make the date order the way you want to see them
    I've not messed with this and am not sure how you get back to the correct dates after you are done
    I consider this a bug and suggest reporting to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Syncing Photos from Aperture to Ipod touch (how to order the photos?)

    I have some photos on my ipod touch from my aperture library, all good. But they sync in a different order to how they are stored in Aperture. I think it syncs by photo name alphabetically?
    Is there a way to set the order of the photos by the date they were taken?
    This is surely not to difficult an option to have, and i am sure ipod software up to 2.1 had this feature.
    Please Do not tell me to rename my photos.

  • How to reorganize order of photos in an album on iphone 4s. ios7.1.2.  When I synced photos from an album on my computer, the order of photos on my iphone was our of order.

    How can I reorganize the order of photos in an album on my iphone 4s, ios7.1.2.  When I synced an album from my computer to my iphone, the photos are not in the same order as on my computer.  I want the photos  in a particular order, not in the order I added them to my computer.

    I have one album of several that are synced from my computer that I needed to have in a specific order. I finally accomplished that by naming the photos alphabetically in the order I wanted them (I didn't have many and simply placed an "a" in front of the first, "b" in the second etc). I did this on the computer and then synced them again. Note that each time you sync via iTunes, the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes selection/settings so you can repeat several times if needed before you get it right.

  • Itunes syncing photos to Ipad - Tab visible but not loading

    Hello
    having an issue syncing photos from Itunes to my Ipad.
    I have a MacBook Pro and Ipad Air, latest version of maverick, IOS7 and Itunes.
    When i connect my Ipad to my Macbook everything is working fine, except the tab for the photos.
    I can access it. But from there I only see the loading icon. For hours, I even let it run for a whole night, nothing.
    Every other tab is working (apps, music, books, etc.)
    I'm using Aperture and Iphoto on the macbook.
    Any idea? I talked my gf into buying an Ipad because it's sooo cool to watch pictures. Now I have a problem
    Thx
    Dominik

    I've had this issue myself and it was annoying. The only way I could get it to work again was Reset my iPad and start it as new.  Full discussion here:
    iTunes shows deleted videos/songs etc on iPad when connected
    I think you'll find the screenshots match what you see pretty much perfectly.

    Yes, you can.  If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).

  • New problem of photos looking "splotchy" in imovie but not in iphoto?

    I've made a bunch of home movies in imovie 08 but on my most recent one I have a new problem.
    I noticed a number of photos have what I call a "splotchy" or "granular" look to them. Yet, when I view the same photos in iphoto, they look fine. I notice most of the "splotch" takes place in darker colors, especially blues and such. For example, I was in a photo wearing a navy blue shirt. The stomach to the arm of the shirt looked like I had an enormous sweat stain even though nothing was there in reality. The picture looks fine in iphoto.
    On my camera, I did make one change. I maxed out the pixel count to the highest that my picture allows rather than the one below it. I think the compression is set to the maximum allowed. Not sure if this would impact it.
    When I expert, I use expert settings to go to quicktime.
    Any thoughts as I'd like to avoid this in the future and possibly convert this movie again to avoid the splotches, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Imovie 10 events now alphabetical not date order

    My events are all in alpahabetical order in the sidebar, how do I change this to date order the same as they were in iMovie 11?
    I also think I am missing a lot of footage. Many of my events don't seem to be there! If it was in date order (by title as it used to be) it would be easier to see this or not.

    Because of the alphbetical order it is no longer easy for me to detremine the timing of the video.  This is probably true for everyone.  Does the video store the date the video was taken (similar to photo metadata) and if so how do I access that information in iMovie?

  • Why are my photos and videos syncing sideways in my computer? When I email or sync photos they are sideways.  I've called apple and they are no help.  I can fix the pictures, but the videos are a different story.  Please help.  I have an HP comp Win 7

    My pictures and videos are shown correctly in my phone and when I play videos in itunes they are upright, but the location they are saved on my computer they are side ways.  There has got to be a setting somewhere to fix this.  Please help.

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Lightroom 5.4, syncing photo settings edited in CS6 does not work. Maverick OS 10.9, Raw 8.3.0141

    I recently updated Lightroom to 5.4 and noticed that when the file comes back from CS6, the edit/sycn settings does not work. Selecting the gray area of the source file, and selecting another, clicking on the sync produces nothing. When I select a source image and another that has not visited CS 6 the sync works fine. I have used this simple technique for years with previous versions and never had a problem. Something has changed with the update and/or compatibility with the file coming back into Lighroom. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.

    ssprengel, thanks for following up. I work with DNG files in Lightroom that have been converted from Raw CR2 files. They are exported from Lightroom to Photoshop as Tiff files and any files that i edited and traveled round trip could not be used to sync other files in Lightroom. Even simple edits like saturation or exposure have disabled the file from being able to sync the settings to other files. I do most of the syncing of develop settings in Lightroom, but occasionallly I will adjust basic settings in Photoshop for one reason or another and after updating to 5.4 I noticed that sync worked fine within Lightroom only. I have tried a few changes to preferences with regard to how develop settings are registered with the file and that hasn't made any difference. Any ideas?

  • Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

    eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

    For iPhoto the link said:
    If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
    From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
    Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.)  If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
    Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
    In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
    Close the Finder window.
    Are you doing step 3?  You can also right click and select Show Package Contents.  It works both ways for me.  I just tried it.

  • IPAD2 since yesterday seems to have stopped allowing transfers of photos from anything other than another Apple product and comes up with the message2 itunes will no longer sync photos....which are not transferred from a Mac? Looks as if there is a prob

    IPAD2 since yesterday seems to have stopped transfers of photos from non Mac equipment. I use dell with ITunes cloud facility.
    Any ideas or are we to await Mac correcting the software?

    Okay, can someone please give a useful answer? Thanks! I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for some time now, and it is very annoying. Furthermore, I would like to point out to Chris CA that there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about the original post.
    So here is the deal. I used to be able to burn CDs with iTunes that played back fine on both my car and home stereo. After some update, and I am very sorry but I really do not remember which one, as I am just a user and not a programmer and just want something that works, which in the end Apple used to be all about, and therefore do not keep track of all the updates, CDs won't play back on my car stereo. Nothing else changed, still the same brand of CDs (even the same stack!), still the same car stereo, and still the same 2007 MBP. So by simple deduction I conclude it must be a software update. And I do not care what the exact cause is, I just want a fix!
    I'd like to apologize for my tone in the above, but it is just a very annoying problem, even more so because it seems nothing is being done about it. Thanks for your answer in advance!

  • Copying Members to Spreadsheet appear in Hlevel order, not Hierarchy order

    When I copy members of a dimension, selecting a number of different hiearchy levels, when I paste them on my worksheet, they copy/paste in Hlevel format - with the highest level first.  Ideally I want them to paste in the hiearchy order.
    i.e. Hierarchy
    Hlevel
    1  Total Expenses
    2     Total Direct Expenses
    3         Total Controllable
    4             Employee Related
    5                  Salary
    5                  Benefits
    4              All Other
    5                   Travel
    5                   Recruiting
    3         Total Revenue Related
    4               Commissions
    5                   A_12345 Comm Exp
    If I select to copy Total Controllable, Employee Related, Salary, Benefits, All Other and Total Revenue Related; they copy in Hlevel format: Total Controllable, Total Revenue Related, Employee Related, All Other, Etc
    I would like them to copy in the same order as it appears in the hierarchy.
    Any ideas how to do this?
    Thanks,

  • Dectivate pricing condition for sales order not service order.

    Hi,
    We are on ECC6.0 and CRM5.0
    I need to add new condition type to the existing pricing procedure.It should be activtaed only for service orders and not for sales order.I can achive this by adding new requirement in pricing procedure to limit this condition type based on order type.
    Example:  if KOMK-AUART eq ORDER_TYPE.
                    sy-subrc = 0.
    But I don't want to do this,because I would need to change this requirement everytime I add new service order type.
    Is there any field in Pricing structure KOMK bu using which we can achieve this. ?
    Please suggest any other idea by which I can achieve this
    Thanks
    Dona

    Currently ,we have one pricing procedures for both the scenarios...
    We control if the perticular condition type to be active or not by writing a requirement which checks the order types.
    This has been done this way because we  built the pricing procedure in ECC and tranfer it to CRM.Also we donot have service orders in ECC.
    any further alternatives guys..
