Show photos in random order (with possibility to switch back to last one shown)

Hallo!
I'm having trouble to to show my entire photoselection on my ipad in random order - like on a regular photoframe. The only possibility I figured out, was to show the whole library as a screensaver in random order. Unfortunately in this case I'm neither able to zoom in the current picture or to switch back to the last one(s). In the build in photos app i can start a slideshow with all pics but I didn't found an option to randomize them.
I already tried tons of photoframe-apps, but all of them have problems to import all of my ~30.000 photos (automaticly) without having to select every single one of them.
Does anyone have a solution on this??

I'm now using Snow Leopard, and the same thing happens. Don't know if it is relevant or not, but one of the things I've noticed is that the System Preferences window (even when hidden) shows in the right place, but clicking on it doesn't work. It is as if the window and the buttons are somewhere other than where they show on the screen. Quitting System Preferences and restarting it solves the problem.

Apple tv shows photos in random order

hi,
i have the 2nd gen apple tv and i can't get Photos showed properly.
They are on my pc (Windows 7) and they are sorted by filename (001.jpg, 002.jpg ...).
When i try to watch the photos using apple tv, they are displayed in a completly
randomized order. This order has nothing to do with the filename, the date or the size,
it's completely random.
Any hints on this problem ?
Best regards
Stefan

I'm a PC; Windows 7-64; Apple TV 1st generation
I had the random problem as well with one particular folder of photos. No matter how many times I renamed/relabled them, nothing worked until this.
I noticed that the other folders with photos IN ORDER still had their old camera id numbers (i.e. IMG_0762, etc.). It was then that it dawned on me that maybe Apple TV didn't like my numbering system for tha out of order photos. This numbering system (file name) went from 1 to 177.
So I made all the photo file names into 4 digit numbers and it's important to use the zeros properly. photos 1-9 became 0001-0009; photos 10-99 became 0010-0099; photos 100 to 177 became 0100-0177.
After I re-synched these, they were ALL in the proper order...
ENJOY

How do you play photos in random order?!?!?

This is apple right? You can do things very easily, thats why I switched from PC. How do I view photos in random order in iPhoto? The help menu says to choose the "Shuffle Slide Order"... WHAA? Where is this on the menu, am I doing somethig wrong? Please tell me I am just missing the obvous.
Thanks!

Hi Brian,
I am assuming you are talking about an "on the fly" slideshow.
Select the images, album, roll, etc. and hit the Play button on the bottom left of the window. In the next window, check "shuffle slides order"
Pssst...just a little hint, you will not find shuffle on a permanent slideshow menu for an option.

IOS8 Photos not showing photos in chronological order

Photos App not showing photos in chronological order!!
what gives apple?! I take a picture, go to Photos and since theres no more camera roll, I'm forced to go into Photos Tab, and when I select "Collections", I see the tiny thumbs of all my pictures sorted which look fine in chronological order, But when select to go down to the next level of viewing (Moments), the dates are all over the place! When I scroll all the way down, I should technically be at the most recent of my pictures taken. Its not, it shows Aug26. Then one above that Aug 21 Then next few are in Aug; mind you we are in September. Then theres Jun 25. THEN finally some recent photos of Sept 26 and 15!!! THEN the next one is MAY 31.
So trying to find my most recent photos taken is painstakingly tough.

Check this thread out. I have mobileme, but this solution worked, perhaps you could try something similar for your Gmail account...

Is it possible to switch back to ios5 after having installed ios6 on ipad 2? Cant open web pages and dont like some functinalities so would like to go back.

Appart from the non indefferent fact that is becoming just like that other giant microsoft and it took me 20 minutes to get everything settled before i could actually ask a **** question which by chance arose from the fact that i was wasting time not being able to access some login page i usually can access from my ipad2. The problem seams to be the new ios6 which i fullheartly installed but appart from the everchanging funcionalities that are fine when you are a teen but are a nuisance when you have little time there seam to be changed under the hood to that dont allow for the normal use i make of the internet.
Question: is it possible to switch back to IOS5 after having installed IOS6? How long can the proccess be ? Will it have any other magic apple effect?
Ps: im starting to think that other guy microsoft was not that much of an evil money making babylonlike creature. Maybe is just the scale of success that turns friendly companies to anonymous "robbers".

Still photos disappearing and showing up in random order?!

Hi,
I'm trying to add a series of still photos to my iMovie project, and while they're appearing correctly in the project map, they either disappear or appear in a random order when I play back the movie. Oddly enough, if I play it back a couple of times in a row, it'll pick a different random order to show the photos...if it decides to show anything at all. I don't seem to be having the photo duration problem that other people seem to have (knock on wood), but this seems really weird. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mardie

I may be mistaken, but it appears that you are trying to add stills to an iMovie Trailer template. Unfortunately, the Trailer templates only allow the insertion of video clips. The way around this limitation is to convert the Trailer to a normal project, then you can add stills and/or edit the project in the normal way. At the points where you wish to add stills, just leave the animatics in place. When the Trailer is converted, simply replace the animatics with your own stills.
To convert the Trailer, go to iMovie's menu and select File>Convert to Project. It's best to duplicate the Trailer first. To do this, in Project Library view, right-click (or Control-click) on the name of the Trailer. From the pop-up menu select Duplicate Project, then convert the duplicate to a normal project.

Slideshows show photos out of order

Hi there
I have an Apple TV and looking at my slideshows, my photos are displayed out of order. I renamed all the files so they are in the sequence I want, however that made no difference.
Seems as though the Apple TV is showing the files in order of the time the shots were taking which is not what I want given the re-naming process I went through.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

AppleTV shows you your pictures in whatever order AppleTV decides, and you WILL like it. ha ha.
Seriously, I've tried and failed here. I have no clue how the thing decides what order to show pictures, I don't think it's necessarily in the order I shot them in.. it's more likely the order they get copied over by iTunes. So maybe uploading your photos 1 at a time will enforce a specific order.
Since there's no way for Apple to monetize your personal photos, I don't think they are really interested in developing that part of the software as well as they do for the movie rental and itunes store portions. I've had this device for almost 2 years now and pretty much only the parts that they use to sell me stuff have been improved in that time.
Personally I'm about ready to convert my iTV into a doorstop.

Photos in random order

After I upload photos to iphoto 09, they appear in random order, not at all according to date. I can't use "split event" because alike photos are not even next to each other... How do I fix this or move photos into some order that makes sense? Or must I always upload photos after every single day/ event during the day to avoid the scramble??

View menu ==> sort events?
Alternatively you could provide enough information that someone can actully help - like what version of iPhnoto - what the source of the photos is - what order they are in - if the dates in the EXIF info of the photo are correct - etc

Showing photos on Apple TV, with a twist

Hi,
I am looking for a way to have my Apple TV access photos from an Aperture library, through a computer which does not have that Aperture library.
Here is my setup....
A MacBook Air which is turned off most of the time, but when I do use Aperture it's always on the MBA (with external screen)
A Mac mini with lots of storage attached to it, always on
An Apple TV (2nd gen) which accesses media files on the Mac mini
As said, I use Aperture on the MBA and the library is also stored on the MBA. I do make backups to a drive connected to the Mac mini. I mount it over the network, and use the built-in 'Vaults' feature to make a library backup.
What I would like is to somehow have my Apple TV be able to access the Aperture library and show photos on the tv. Is there any way it can use the 'Vault' copy? Any other tricks you can think of?
thanks,
Rob

Had a thought when I woke up this morning - I wondered if the Vault was simply a copy of the Library. So I looked into the package contents and turns out it looks like it's pretty much the same thing. If that were the case, then surely I could just mount the Vault as the library for Apple TV to get access to!? ... is what I thought.
To confirm, I used a command-line tool called 'diff' to compare. And I found each file to be different from the vault. Very strange, so I created a thread for that in the aperture forum - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4471883. Once I have the differences cleared up, I'll see if this approach will work. To be continued.

Is it possible to switch my processor from one laptop to another

i have 2 laptops, both are toshiba's, my old laptop runs better than the one i got for christmas becuase of the processor, my new laptop runs slow becuase the processor is a single core with 1 GHz my old one is dual-core 2.00 GHz, i want to switch them, they are both AMD so i am wondering if it would be possible to switch them
Here are the processors specs:
Old one:
AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-62 2.00 GHz
New one:
AMD C-50 Processor 1.00 GHz
so please, is it possible to switch them, and how would i go about switching them if possible.
thanks,

It sounds like a good idea, but it is a total non-starter. Sure, both CPUs are from AMD, but they have different packaging, different voltages, different Level 2 cashe, different thermal outputs and the connectors are different too. All of the circuitry around the 1 Ghz CPU was designed to handle that speed of CPU. If it could be done, you'd overclock the existing circuitry and burn out the system board.
Unlike a desktop computer that you can put in a new system board, CPU and video board, a laptop is pretty limited on what can be done as an upgrade. Your best option would be to find a computer that has the CPU that you'd want and buy it.

The profile manager only shows my new profile. How do I switch back to my default profile?

I just made a new profile to use exclusively with an alternate version of Firefox. My regular version accidentally opened this new profile, so I tried using profile manager to set it back to the default. However, the profile manager is only showing my new profile. /appdata/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles shows that I still have my default and my new profile. Putting -P "default" in the target line just opens up profile manager. How do I switch back to my default profile or get it to show up in profile manager?

When a profile doesn't show in the Profile Manager then you can register this profile by using the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
You can click the "Choose Folder" button to make Firefox recognize and use an already existing profile.
It is best to create a desktop shortcut that selects a specific profile (-P "profile_name") to avoid opening a profile with the wrong Firefox version.<br />
Make sure to select the profile for the default browser in the Profile Manager, so that is used when you click a link in an external program.

You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

Photos in random order in Camera Roll

I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2.
For some reason that I don't know all the photos in the Camera Roll are mixed up.
The logical order (and the one it always had) is in order in which they were taken.
Now it doesn't seem to have any logical order...
So anoying...

This is happening to me too. It wasn't immediately after the ios5 update though. My symptoms:
some camera roll photo thumbnails are blank (gray or black)
thumbnails not matching up to what the photo actually is (the same thumbnail shows up multiple times)
some photos are blurry looking (pixilated)
if I email a photo or edit, then it corrects itself (shows the correct photo, not blurry)
if I try to view photos from the camera app, rather than the photos app, it just crashes
I also can't get any photos off my iPhone as the phone no longer shows up in my computer as a device.
Please see the examples below. Please help!! This is extremely frustrating.

Showing photo titles in ordering window

I've labelled all my photos 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. Then given people an order form on which they write the numbers of the prints they want. Then the idea was I just add them up and order the totals for each print. But when I opened the Order Prints window I found it wasn't showing me the photo titles! Is there a way I can get the titles to show??
Please help...someone.
Thanks a lot.
Yours in annoyance...

James2:
I don't think so. It's not designed to break it out by image, just the total of each size.
