Saving order of photos in an Aperture Album

I am new to Aperture and can't find a way to save the order of my photos in an album when I try to copy them to a web gallery. It seems this is the most basic thing anyone would want to do but every time I try to copy my album into a web gallery it completely changes the order of all the photos. I have used photos from a number of different cameras so the file names vary and are not sequential. Each time I try to copy them to a web gallery Aperture seems to be trying to re-order them by file name.
My process has been to import the photos into a project from the various cameras and memory cards, then select the ones I want and put them in an album, make any adjustments and then copy the album to a web gallery for friends to see. Is this a flawed work flow?
Can anyone tell me how to lock/save the order I put the album photos in?
Do I have to rename each photo with some sort of sequential numbering system?
I'm sure the answer is blindingly simple as no-one else seems to be asking it ... but at the moment it escapes me. Any help much appreciated.

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.

    Hello I thought that I had ordered a photo book in aperture this morning but not sure that the order has gone through as I have not had a confirmation email,

    t I am currently in canada and trying to get the book sent to Australia. Im not sure if apple is picking up my location and that is having any affect on it?
    The AppleID you are using to buy the book, must be tied to the location of the store where you are ordering the book from. Is your AppleID associated with an australian address? And are you placing the order at the Australian store? The Canadian store will not shiptoAustralia, see these policies: http://www.apple.com/internetservices/terms/sales_policies.html
    Also set the "Region" in the language & Text preferences to "Australia", while you are ordering.

  • How do I rearrange order of photos inside an iPhoto album?

    Is anyone having similar problems? I cannot seem to drag them around to change the order of my photos within the album inside iPhoto.
    Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

    I can't get this to work either. Very frustrating for something that I purchased. I might as well have just stuck with the photo album that comes with the Ipad. Can't seem to get any help here, especially when you look at the date of the first message. When I "hold" the photo down on the album it never "wobbles". I don't know what people are talking about when they mention a journal. No instructions on that either.
    I'm seeing a general trend where if you but any apple software, you are on your own to learn it. Not good.

  • BUG: Photo sync with Aperture albums?

    Hi, I think I have found a bug with how iTunes syncs photos across to my new (and until my number ports across, useless) iPhone. I posted this in a different discussion previously...
    If you set it up that only selected Aperture albums are synced, like this;
    [ ] album1
    [tick] album2
    [ ] album3
    [tick] album4
    then albums 2 and 4 are optimized and copied across.
    However, if in Aperture you create a new album (by importing new photos, say) that appears in the list, e.g., between album2 and album3, then the ticks retain their spacial position, not their position relative to the album they are meant to sync;
    [ ] album1
    [tick] album2
    [ ] album_new
    [tick] album3
    [ ] album4
    So now, when you sync, album4 is deleted and album3 is placed on the phone - not what you would expect.
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for the reply.
    That's strange... I am using leopard, with iTunes 7.5 and a brand new UK iPhone (so it has 1.1.2 already on it). It was essentially in 'virgin' state too; I had to return my 1st phone due to a tiny but annoying problem with it. I noticed the this after only a couple of syncs - when the sync was taking a while due to the photo optimizing step.
    I will take another look tonight.
    Thanks,

  • Sort order for photos synched from Aperture

    I have synched photos from Aperture to the Apple TV, but the sort order when shown on Apple TV is not the same as the sort order in Aperture. Does anyone have an idea about which metadata field in Aperture is being used by Apple TV to determine the sort?

    Hi this is my first append to Apple support so things may go pear shaped...
    I have the same problem as you describe and have discovered that the order appears to be consistent with the file NAME order (as seen in Finder) This is not the camera file name but the version name I gave it when I imported the file into Aperture. I then exported the album to the desktop and streamed it to Appletv. (iTunes #count/album is sometimes wrong)
    Given a file list of say 40 files, the new (incorrect Appletv re-sorted) order follows a pattern based on the FIRST numeric decimal digit in the filename!
    Example - I have a folder containing 40 consecutive images - the new order these images will be displayed by Appletv will be as follows
    1 10[...]19 2 20[...]29 3 31[...]39 4 40 5 6 7 8 9
    I've proved this by photographing 40 separate image files each one showing a number in the range of 1 to 40 as an individual image. These are in order by number (as appears in the image) & file number assigned by the camera, and also therefore by file date time. I imported them into Aperture and assigned them the Version name of 'Number' + sequence.
    So, when I view image file #1 named 'Number 1 of 40' I see the number '1' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:33:16 BDT. Similarly when I view image file #40 named 'Number 40 of 40' I see the number '40' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:37:34 BDT.
    I CAN CHANGE the order Appletv displays these by renaming them - eg change file name 'Number 10 of 40' to 'Number 41 of 40' makes it appear at the end. The sequence now becomes 1 11-19 etc 40 41. Nothing else appears to have changed.
    I've since found that a separate burn of different files(29) using Toast followed the same pattern.
    Since starting this append iTunes has the added the album of 40 numbers to its list and I have just viewed them on Atv slideshow. Bizarrely the order is different again - 3,5,2,4,1,10,13,15,6,11,14,7,8,12,9,32,17,33,26,22,23,28,18,29,20,24,35,16,21,3 1,19,25,30,34,27,37,38,40,39,36. Random is off. Please can we have a fix for this or at least a workaround.
    Thanks.

  • How can I lock the order of photos in my IPhoto albums?

    I have created albums in IPhoto and have arranged the photos in the order I want them.  But when I open IPhoto and click on an album, I often find that some of the photos have moved to different locations.  This is maddening to me!  Is there a way to lock the position of photos in the albums? 

    Thanks, I will send in some feedback.  It seems silly to have a menu option to arrange photos "Manually," then have them move around seemingly on their own.

  • IDVD changed the order of photos imported from Aperture

    I created a project in Aperture from two different camera inputs. One had EDT and the other had PDT. I didn't think to make them the same time zone. After putting the combined photos in the order I wanted, I called the Aperture file from iDVD to create the slide show. IDVD changed the order. I am not sure what piece of Meta data it looked at to create its order. I had to go back into iDVD and recreate the order I wanted.
    How does iDVD decide which order when the file has a mix of photos not from the same camera?
    Thanks

  • How to preserve order of photos imported from Aperture

    I've imported my Aperture library into LR.
    The process went generally fine, however I'm unable to figure out how to get the original image order.
    I was using custom ordering for Aperture's "projects" and "slideshows". Both got translated to collections, however the image order doesn't seem to be preserved. This is crucial feature for slideshows...
    Does the import plugin translate the Aperture order into the Lightroom "Custom Order" ?
    If not, what would be the suggested way to restore the proper image order in slideshows?

    When you select a collection the tool bar above the filmstrip lets you reverse the order by clicking the A/Z symbol. It also  has a drop-down menu to the right of sort. You can choose a number of options. But the beauty of collections is that you can drag thumbnails around into any order. They then remain fixed in your own user order. Useful for slideshows, web galleries etc.

  • How can I keep the order of photos in an album when I upload it to Flickr?

    When I share an iPhoto album on Flickr, the order of the photos in my album is lost. Apparently Flickr uses the photo date, but that defeats all the manual arranging I have done in my album. How can I preseve the photo order on upload?
    Also, the description of each uploaded photo appears in small print and not in the main Flickr label box. This means the description cannot be seen if a photo is viewed in full screen mode. How can I automatically transfer the iPhoto descriptions to the main Flickr label boxes?
    Is there a better way to share iPhoto albums on the Web (Picasso)?

    I'm glad you found a solution
    For for others and you in the future it is important to understand
    Albums are a way to VIEW photos in your desired order within iPhoto - the photos do not have any order (in fact they are in files scattered essentially randomly accross your hard drive)
    When you move the out of iPhotoand view them in another program that program determines teh order they are viewed in
    An easy to see an example is the finder - files exported from iPhoto and viewed via the finder can be viewed in many different sort orders including name, date created, date modified, size, kind and label - none of these have any relation to the order the photos were in the album UNLESS you cause that to happen (like by exporting using sequential file names so teh finder name sort matched the album order) - the order you see photos in is totally determined by the program you are using to view them - if you understand how it views them then you may be able to export them so that the destination program view martches the iPhoto view
    To make suggestions to Apple re exporting to Flickr (or any other outsidside service) -  iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback - and to make suggestiont to thrid party suppliers like the Picasa export plugin contact the developer of that plugin

  • How to copy aperture album to disk

  • ICloud Photo Library: How to sync iPhoto/Aperture albums?

    After installing iOS 8 and trying to access Photos, users are presented with a notification titled, "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)." A subsequent message warns, "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud Photo Library is turned on. (#) photos will be removed."
    What is this supposed to mean?
    Mac users may currently organize photos into events and albums using iPhoto or Aperture. Until now, they could also select specific albums and events to sync to specific iOS devices via iTunes. According to this message, if the user turns on iCloud Photo Library then these synced photos will be deleted from the iOS devices and they will no longer be able to sync them with iTunes. However there is no explanation of whether, when, or how this functionality will be replaced.
    My hope and expectation is that the upcoming Photos app for OS X will allow users to import their iPhoto or Aperture library with all events, albums, and meta data intact, provide the option to upload their collection to iCloud Photo Library, and then allow specific photos, albums, and/or events to be viewed and/or downloaded on to specific OS X and iOS devices.
    Assuming this assumption is correct, though, we'll have to wait until next year's release of Photos for OS X to regain this functionality.  If that's the case, this advisory should explicitly say so.

    Because IMO Apple has never cracked photo management, I organise all my photos on my MacBook and sync the photo's folder to my iPad and iPhone via iTunes. This gives me the organisation I require, but it means I cannot do much at all with the synced folder except view the photos on my iPad and iPhone.
    I just enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, this deleted all the iTunes synced folders from my device, I expected it to upload all those photos to the cloud and then delete them from the device, but it actually just deleted them all and uploaded a few odd's and sods I had in my camera roll.
    I am currently unsure how to get my main photo library into the cloud as the Photos app is not yet available for Mac!
    So do not enable it if you manage your photos like me and you want your back catalogue!!
    I am very hopeful that Apple is about to crack photos management in an MASSIVE way, but until the Mac Photos's app come out continuity between iOS and Mac OS is still very broken.

  • Help! Order of photos in a Folder does not match order of albums

    I have seen dozens of threads on folders and albums, sorting them etc. However did not quite find an answer to this one.
    The question is : Why the order of photos in a Folder does not match with the order of Albums I have created underneath the Folder?
    In other words I created a floder and placed within the folder a few albums we will call G, K, C ...etc in the chronological order in which I want to show the pictures. The pictures within the album are not strictly chronological. ( I will explain more if this is an issue)
    Next when I click on the Folder, I notice that the photos are grouped by the corresponding Album which is what they should be, however their(photos) order did not correspond to that of the Albums. In other words, in the Folder view, I see photos of K first and then may be G and then may be C. I am not able to change that order to G, K, C..the way I want. This will mess up the slideshow for me.
    For clarity, I created each album simply by dragging corresponding event down into the Folder. The events are sorted by date and ascending in View>Sort Events.
    I appreciate any suggestions please!
    Thanks

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset its preferences and try the slideshow again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

    I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

    I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

    iPhoto '11 is working well.
    The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
    To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.

  • How do I change the order of photos in ipad albums in ios 8 ?

    Hi
    I've just upgraded my ipad mini to IOS 8.1.  I want to create a slideshow in Photo (iPhoto no longer supported) but can't find how to change the order of photos within an album.  Has anyone any suggestions/ideas ?
    Many thanks

    Open the album. Tap select. Hold your finger on the photo till it enlarges then slide it to it's new position. Tap done when you're finished.
