Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8

Yes we understood that iPhoto & Aperture were to be discontinued on the desktop OS sometime in the future but it was a shock to find without warning when upgrading to iOS 8 that iPhoto would not work. Why didn't Apple tell us this!
The new version of iOS 8 Photos app. is better then the previous but just doesn't have the features when I have spent hours tagging, editing and sorting all my photos in iPhoto on my iPad and  desktop.
On migrating to iOS8 all my photos transferred fine but the Events are now in a random order in the Photos app on my iPad rather then in the date created order as is the norm and is reflected in iPhoto on the desktop. They appeared in the correct order in the Photo app before the update. I cannot seem to change that, so I am unable to easily find the photos I wish to view by scrolling through the Events. Has anyone any suggestions of how to sort this? Removing photos and re-syncing them did not help neither has a complete update, restore and re-sync!
Even trying to find a photo using the new improved search function does not help me find the photos. Even though I give each Event a name "Lisa's Wedding" etc. the search function in the Photos app in iOS 8 fails to find events or most keywords which I had hoped it would. From what I have seen so far the search finds titles of individual photos, albums and geo tags, however even the geo tags seem to be named differently to what show up in iPhoto on the desktop.
Presently I have had to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 so that I can carry on working the way that I did as do need to work!
I have raised a complaint with apple regarding the dumping of the iPhoto now and a bug report regarding the ordering of Events on the Photos app. (I seemed to recall that happened with a very early version of the Photos app.) However if anyone has any suggestions of work arounds or if I am just missing something, then all and any advice would be very welcome.
Thank you
Simon

but just doesn't have the features when I have spent hours tagging, editing and sorting all my photos in iPhoto on my iPad and  desktop.
You cannot add tags and captions in Photos iOS 8, and you cannot see them when opening a photo. But the tags you added previously are still there when you migrate the iPhoto library to Photos. You will see that, when you use the search field and enter one of your tags or a caption. This will find all photos with this tagged you then can create an album of all tagged photos for each tag. Creating albums with distinctive names is the new way of tagging. You can search for album names.
I share your sentiments entirely, and I hope Apple will provide an update to Photos soon or offer app extensions to add the missing features.

  • Problems with data using cellular network since upgrading to iOS8

    I have an iPhone 5 and recently upgraded to iOS8. Since doing so, I am no longer able to use FaceTime and many other services (eg Snapchat, Apps Store, etc) when relying on the cellular network. I have not changed cellular carriers and it all worked fine with iOS7. What can I do?

  • Problem with genius in musik app after upgrade to iOS 7.1.

    After updating to iOS 7.1. the genius function of the music app cannot be used anymore? How can I fix that? Or is this a general problem?

    I have not experienced the same.
    I have tried restoring and the problem is still present.
    You restored from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    If whatever software problem is causing this is included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    Try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Problem with corrupted iPhone photo albums

    I have a problem with my iPhone "Photos" app.
    When I open it is see hundreds of "ghost" albums in the Albums tab.
    I have tried to turn off syncing photos in iTunes and then turn it back on again, and so deleting all albums and photos and then re-applying- but no luck.  I also tried to sync with an empty folder on my Mac instead of the iPhoto library, but this still does not delete the albums.
    Anyone know how to nuke the photos on an iPhone and start from scratch WITHOUT having to restore the iPhone to its factory state?

    Here is what I see when I go to delete some of the rogue albums:
    I could keep doing this but there are probably 300-400 of them!!!!!

  • Problem with event handling

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with event handling. I have two buttons in my GUI application with the same name.They are instance variables of two different objects of the same class and are put together in the one GUI.And their actionlisteners are registered with the same GUI. How can I differentiate between these two buttons?
    To be more eloborate here is a basic definition of my classes
    class SystemPanel{
             SystemPanel(FTP ftp){ app = ftp};
             FTP app;
             private JButton b = new JButton("ChgDir");
            b.addActionListener(app);
    class FTP extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
               SystemPanel rem = new SystemPanel(this);
               SystemPanel loc = new SystemPanel(this);
               FTP(){
                       add(rem);
                       add(loc);
                       pack();
                       show();
           void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
            /*HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO KNOW WHICH BUTTON WAS PRESSED AS THEY
               BOTH HAVE SAME ID AND getSouce() ?
               In this case..it if was from rem or loc ?
    }  It would be really helpful if anyone could help me in this regard..
    Thanks

    Hi levi,
    Thankx..
    I solved the problem ..using same concept but in a different way..
    One thing i wanted to make clear is that the two buttons are in the SAME CLASS and i am forming 2 different objects of the SAME class and then putting them in a GUI.THERE IS NO b and C. there is just two instances of b which belong to the SAME CLASS..
    So the code
    private JButton b = new JButton("ChgDir");
    b.setActionCommand ("1");
    wont work as both the instances would have the label "ChgDir" and have setActionCommand set to 1!!!!
    Actually I have an array of buttons..So I solved the prob by writting a function caled setActionCmdRemote that would just set the action commands of one object of the class differently ..here is the code
    public void setActionCommandsRemote()
         for(int i = 0 ; i <cmdButtons.length ; i++)
         cmdButtons.setActionCommand((cmdButtons[i].getText())+"Rem");
    This just adds "rem" to the existing Actioncommand and i check it as folows in my actionperformed method
         if(button.getActionCommand().equals("DeleteRem") )          
                        deleteFileRemote();
          else if(button.getActionCommand().equals("Delete") )
                     deleteFileLocal();Anyway thanx a milion for your help..this was my first posting and I was glad to get a prompt reply!!!

    After of it, I checked that the app had a new version available for downloading, I took a backup of my ipad and then upgrade this app, but is the same problem, all I want is to save the projects I had in this app, I´m afraid that if I delete this app and re-install it, probably I loss my projects.
    Thanks for your help indicating how I can save my projects and see them for example in an iphone for assurance that data is not lost.
    Something that called my attention is part of the log that shows a big CPU processing, but the strange thing is I killed all applications.

  • Image preview not working with 3rd party photo apps in iPhoto/Image Capture

    I haven't had a problem until recently with the iPhone 4. Pictures taken with third party photo apps such as Shake It Photo or Hipstamatic no longer generate a thumbnail preview in either iPhoto or Image Capture. It's just a generic jpg icon. All pictures taken with Apple's camera app appear just fine. I also had a problem where I couldn't import any of the photos, but I restarted the phone a couple times and that seemed to fix the importing issue, but not the thumbnail preview issue. This is particularly weird because i've been importing pictures since the first day this phone came out, and it's only been doing this since yesterday.
    I know a lot of people are having problems getting their iPhoto to recognize the phone at all or that there are photos on the phone, but is anyone else having the same problem as me? Any solutions? I have iPhoto 8.1.2.
    Thanks!

    I have this issue but didn't recognize it until I read your post. I thought it was 2 bad photos.
    I'll subscribe to this tread to see if anyone comes up with a fix.

  • Erase images and events in Photo app

    I cannot erase numerous events in Photo app. Firstly my photos have organised themselves into 30 - 40 events with 3 or 4 photos in each event. This was not how they were imported. Some corruption has occurred. More importantly I cannot erase them. If I set photos in iTunes to sync with nothing, these 30 - 40 events will not disappear. Any suggestions to erase all photos in the ipad Photo app?
    Thanks

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • HT5137 I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

    Try a new SIM from your carrier.  If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.
