Slideshow playing reverse order

Just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and when I click on an event and choose slideshow, it begins to play in reverse order (most recent first). My main Events homepage is set to sort descending by date and my photos are all ascending by date within the individual events. When I change the main Events view to ascending, it plays in the correct order, however I like my most recent events coming up first...I noticed I can get around this by opening the event and selecting the first photo and then starting slideshow. Is there something I am missing or is this just something I have to get used to?

Had same issue but selecting first photo is also what worked for me. I always thought you had to select all the photos in the event, album, etc... to include in the slideshow, but apparently that is not the case.
As an aside, I can't figure out what activates manual sort. It seems to come and go (greyed out or not) depending on whether I am in an event, album, smart album, etc...

Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow it displays the pictures in reverse order.

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album. The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually. Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

IPhoto slideshow shown in reverse order

I've looked at this problem on Apple Support and many other areas but I cannot show a slideshow in the order that the photos are in the library.
I'm using Macericks and iPhoto 9.5.1.
No matter which photos I select they are always shown in reverse order when I click 'Slideshow" at the bottom of iPhoto or when I create a new slideshow.
I've tried all the suggetsions, repairing phtot library etc, but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

When you are playing your slideshow, click the screen to bring up the vido controls, like this:
Click the "gears"-icon to reveal the settings.
In the "Settings" tab disable "Shuffle Slide order" and enable "Use settings as default".
Then play again. Does that bring the correct direction back?

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

My I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order such as 3.2.1 no matter how I arrange them in I-Tunes. How do I get my I-Pod to play in the proper 1,2,3 sequence?

My 3rd gen I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order, even if I manually try to load it. I will only automatically play in 3,2,1 order. Even brought it to the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either. Even bought another I-Pod and still plays in reverse order. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance for any help, Ty

They did not order the podcasts correctly in the playlist then. Several people, including myself, have been able to play podcasts in sequential order.
When viewing the playlist in iTunes, look to the far left of each episode. There should be a number next to it. This is the ordering of the playlist. Sort the playlist in sequential order and view the numbering along the leftmost column and see if the ordering matches up as desired. If they don't, you'll need to drag and drop tracks until they are.
Once the ordering is as desired, right->click on the playlist and choose Copy to Play Order. Then resync the playlist over to your iPod.

When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

Songs are in reverse order on iPad, but correct on iTunes

I have a number of Smart Playlists that look fine when displayed on iTunes, but when iTunes copies them to my iPad Air, the list of albums shows up in the correct order but the songs in each album are sorted in reverse order.
So for example, I have a Smart Playlist defined where "Artist is Jean Michel Jarre". That playlist is sorted by Year in list view and by Year-then-Title in Grid view.
When I look at that same Playlist on my iPad Air, all of his albums appear in chronological order (which I expect), but the songs on each album are listed last-to-first. So Oxygene (his first album) shows up before Equinoxe (his second album), but the list of songs on the Oxygene album are shown as: Part VI, Part V, Part IV, Part III, Part II, Part I. All of the albums on the list are in the right order, but the list of songs on each album appears backwards in each one.
This is just one example of a bug that manifests itself a lot on my iPad. I have a lot of Smart Playlists that misbehave just like this. I deal with it by creating not-smart playlists that are exact copies of the Smart Playlists -- but honestly, why offer Smart Playlists if they're not going to display correctly? If they're this buggy, why am I using them at all?
Does anybody know of a workaround for this bug? Does anybody know whether Apple is aware of it, and if they have any plans to fix it? Please? Maybe? Someday?

I am now home from work, and over the past hour I have tried every combination of up-arrows, down-arrows, Copy To Play Order, sorting on the leftmost column, sorting on the Year column, etc. etc. that I could think of. I believe I have followed your recommendations slavishly and to the letter.
My Jean Michel Jarre Smart Playlist is sorted with the triangle on the leftmost column, and in iTunes, the playlist order is correct. I have sync'd my iTunes library to the iPad several times, I have unchecked that playlist, performed the sync again to remove it from the iPad entirely, checked it again and performed the sync again -- I have also tried closing the Music app on the iPad and restarting it -- I've also tried deliberately sorting the tracks in iTunes in reverse order to see if the iPad does anything any differently, including a "Copy to Play Order" for good luck -- and every combination of all of these choices results in exactly the same outcome: on the iPad, albums show up in chronological order, and tracks in each album show up in reverse order. Nothing I do makes any difference at all.
Here's hoping iOS 8 at least doesn't make things any worse. Maybe if the gods are smiling, it might actually solve this problem. I was hoping that the upgrade to iTunes 11.4 might have made a difference, but, sadly, no such luck ... which is why my hopes for salvation in iOS 8 are not high ... but that doesn't stop me from being grateful to you for trying to help. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

How can I get iTunes to NOT fill iPod shuffle in reverse order?

Any ideas?? iTunes loads my iPod shuffle in the reverse order when I drag tracks from my Music Library to my iPod. This is important because I like to listen to audiobooks during my workouts. All I want is to listen to the first track first and not the last track!
It seems as if the issue arose when I updated to the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5). The previous version worked just fine for me.
I reloaded a book that I listened to previously. Although it loaded up several weeks ago OK, now it too loads the tracks in the reverse order.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!!

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

Scanned items show up in REVERSE order

HP, please be more desriptive. I read previous posts and still cannot fix.
When I scan a 5 page document, 1-5, it shows up on my MAC 10.9 in the order 5-1.
One of your posts says in the "Copy" settings on the printer to change to "Collate On", then save default.
I did this and it still shows up in the wrong order.
I scan large documents everyday and need to have in correct order.
Please help and be very specific!!!!
Thank you,
Terry

Hello tryii223,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document, then scans are showing in reverse order. Just to clarify this issue, I need to ask you some question:
I need to find out what type of printer do you have? Click here to find out: Model Number.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the scanner glass or automatic document feeder? If you're using the automatic document feeder, are you placing these pages 1-5 or 5-1?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further. Have a great night!

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

IPod: Can I designate specific playlists I want to play in order/shuffle?

With either the newer or older version of the iPod, is there a way I can designate a specific playlist to play in order or shuffle? I know with iTunes you can specify what playlists you can shuffle and ones that you don't. It's the iPod that I'm interested in finding out. I have several playlists that I want to keep in a particular order and there are others that I can shuffle them. Is it a "all or nothing" arrangement?

It's two completely different actions, so one is not "better" than the other.
There is no Shuffle on/off on the main menu.
This simply plays all songs in random order.
Nothing else will be shuffled if you play it.
It you want to listen to all the songs on the iPod without them being shuffled, press Play.
If you want to shuffle aything else, you must go to Settings -> Shuffle - Songs (or album).
This way I'll have my playlists back in order when I remove the shuffle feature.
The playlists do not get "out of order". The songs are simply played in a random order. If you turn shuffle on and view the playlist, it will be in the exact same order as with shuffle being turned off.

Can I designate what specific playlists I want to play in order or shuffle?

With either the newer or older version of iTunes, is there a way I can designate a specific playlist to play in order or shuffle? I have specific playlists that I want to play in a particular order. I also others that I wouldn't mind shuffling them. From what I've seen, it's an "all or nothing" arrangement.

Do I turn-on/turn-off the shuffle on the PC (iTunes) or on the iPod itself.
It depends on which you're listening to. The shuffle settings are completely independent of each other.
Now, if you're talking about an iPod, then I don't believe there's any way to have some playlists shuffle and others not. To the best of my knowledge, shuffle is for the entire iPod. But you may want to ask about that in the appropriate iPod forum; it may be different for different models of iPods, or someone may know of a workaround.
How do I keep the play order intact for those that I don't want to shuffle?
For iTunes, just don't set the playlist for shuffle. For an iPod, see above.
