Sort order of photos on iPhone messed up when photos stored on a NAS

Sorting iPhone photos stored on a netfear readyNAS Duo under windows
I have a set of photos taken with another camera which I sync to my iPhone 3 GS.  Previously I stored the photos on my windows pc and after syncing they were sorted on my iPhone  alphabetically.
I then deleted the photos from my iPhone, deleted the iPod cache folder that was in the photo directory on my windows pc, and copied them over to my readyNAS duo.  The NAS ( network attached storage) is acessed over wired Ethernet via CIFS.  
I then reimported the photos using iTunes, (which created a new cache folder on the NAS) and synced them back to my phone.  After doing this, the sort order for those photos on the phone seems scrambled.
One other thing to note.  Previously the folder synced contained the photos.  Now the folder containing the photos is a subdirectory of the sync folder
Now, I followed another post in this forum whereby the user, storing his photos on his windows pc, deleted his cache folder, resorted the photos via windows explorer, and imported them back in.  This solved his problem.  
I tried these steps with the photos on the NAS and this did not work for me.
Any ideas on how to keep my photos on the NAS and have them sorted properly on the iPhone?

I use iPhoto for photo storage on my Mac, and the photo placement/order in my iPhoto albums that I transfer to my iPhone match the photo placement/order with the albums in iPhoto.

  • IPhoto sort order changes on iPad/iPhone when photos are edited

    I have been having issues getting photos to display in the correct order on my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. When I go into an event I want the first photo taken to be at the top and the last at the bottom. I sort by date so that photos taken on different cameras at the same event appear in chronological order and this works very well in iPhoto on my Mac. There is a problem when I sync to my devices though. Sometimes the order on my devices is the same as in iPhoto on my Mac and other times it is not. A recent software update seems to have cured the major issue, but created another. After some experimentation I have discovered that editing a photo changes its position in the sort, even if the adjustment has nothing to do with the date.
    I picked a sample event and adjusted the contrast of the first photo. There was no change to sort order on the Mac. I hit sync in iTunes and the photo now displays last on my iPhone. Go back into iPhoto, click on "Revert to Original", sync iTunes again and the photo now displays first again. Seems like a bug to me.

    I also have have the same issue and have been on the phone with Apple Care....not much help I'm afraid although I do believe something is broken and requires a fix. Here is what I have found (all software up to date and latest OS BTW)....I have sorted all my pictures by Date, if I want to add a straggler I just alter the original date and all is well within the event.  I then "batch change" the event to the tile and event name. So the pictures in the event are named " Holiday 2012  1-xxx.  Again, all is well in iPhoto but when sent to an iPad or Apple TV the sort is as siwilson mentioned above.  I just discovered a temp work around for events with less than 1000 pictures, if I sort by Title I can get them to show correctly on the ATV and iPad. Now what was/is interesting is somethimes they would sort correct and sometimes not.  It turns out that if you sort the event by Title and quit iPhoto and reopen it....it has reverted back to sort by Date. It does that everytime. So what I do is turn home sharing off in iTunes (forces it to look at the photos again), open an iPhoto event and sort by Title.  Then I turn home sharing on in iTunes (leaving iPhoto open) and sync my iPad.  If I want ot stream photos to my ATV I must leave iPhoto open so the sort remains as I set it. If I want to retain the correct sort this is what I need to do each time. So this is a bandage for me until they fix things.  One final about pictures over 1000.....it sorts them as mentioned above with another twist, numbering goes 0001, 1000, 1001, 1002 etc.  @#$% why can't they just sort the way iPhoto presents them?

  • How to load new photos onto Iphone without duplicating old photos?

    Hi There
    I use my IPhone to store all of my photos and want to update it actively every couple of weeks, i recently tried to add to the existing photos on my iphone but found that the photos that were on the phone to begin with are now all duplicated, but the IPhone isn't registering that they are duplicated (ie - if the folder has 30 photos in it and recognises 30 photos there are actually 60 photos in the album that I can see?) How can I add to the photo folder without the existing photos duplicating?
    Thanks

    Try removing/deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder from the folder of photos on your computer's hard drive you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by another sync.

  • Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

    Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
    When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
    If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
    If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
    Please help.

  • HT201302 Recent photos on iphone were deleted when I connected to my computer and an automatic iOS7 update started

    Recently I took photos on my iPhone4s.  When I connected the phone to my computer to upload the photos, the computer automatically started a software update to iOS7  When the upgrade was done, my recent photos no longer exited on my phone and aren't on my computer.  Any way to retrieve these photos?

    Since you didn't import the pictures into iPhoto, but merely viewed them while they were on the iPhone, then they are definitely not on your mac.  Since you deleted them from the iPhone, they're gone.  You didn't by any chance set up Photo Stream?  If so, have you looked at the Photo Stream folder in iPhoto? 

  • How do I upload photos from iPhone to Mac using Photos

    I have photos on my iPhone that I wish to upload to my iMac and then share using Skype. How do I do that now that my iPhoto library has been converted to Photos?
    (1) I do not want to send my photos via iCloud
    (2) I do not want to copy any photos from my iMac to my iPhone.
    Why did this get so complicated? Why can't I drag and drop?

    See the instructions quoted below from Photos help https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
    Import photos from a camera or iOS device
    Connect a camera, iPad, iPhone, or other iOS device to your computer with a USB cable.
    Make sure the camera or device is turned on and the camera is set to the correct mode for importing photos.For information on which mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera. If your camera has a “sleep” mode, make sure it’s disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download.
    Open Photos (if it isn’t already open), then click Import in the toolbar.Note: The Import button only appears when a camera or storage device is connected.Photos displays all the photos and videos on the device. You can choose to import a selection of photos or all the new photos on the device.
    Do one of the following:
    Import all new photos: Click Import All New Photos.
    Import a selection of photos: Click the photos you want to import, then click Import Selected.
    If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.Photos imports your photos. To cancel importing, click Stop Import.
    When all photos have been imported, disconnect the camera or device from your computer.
    Imported photos appear in the Last Import album in Albums view.
    If you have photos taken with a film camera, you can import them into Photos by converting them to digital files (using the Image Capture app and a home scanner). After importing the digital files into Photos, you can edit them and add them to albums and projects, just as you can any other digital photos. You can also use the Image Capture app to set Photos to open automatically whenever you connect your camera. For more information, open Image Capture in the Applications folder, then choose Help > Image Capture Help.
    Tip: You can change the date and time of scanned images in Photos; select the image and choose Image > Adjust Date and Time.

  • How can I remove photos from iPhone...when I synced to another computer, it loaded up a ton a pictures from the laptop that I did not want on my phone

    Help!  I have 4 different computers that I plug my iPhone 4 into from time to time.  I just synced it with a laptop that I haven't plugged into for a long while, and it overloaded my phone with a ton of pictures from the computer that I did not want or need on my phone.  When I went to PHOTOS on my iTunes, and checked "sync checked folders only", it says it will replace the photos on my phone.  I'm not sure this is what I want...I don't want to lose the photos on my phone.  I have over 3000 on there!

    You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and  replace with content from the new computer.

  • Importing Photos From iPhone to iPhoto - Lost Photos

    Just wanted to mention that I lost about 10 pictures during an import to iPhoto. When I plugged in the iPhone, iPhoto popped up, as normal. I chose "Select all" and when it was done, I chose "Delete files" from phone. Then the progress bar got stuck on "Finishing import". For several minutes I let it go.. nothing. I opened the Force Quit window and it showed iPhoto was unresponsive so I force quit.
    None of the files ever made it onto my iPhoto. Half of those files are gone on my iPhone, half remained. I reset the iPhone and plugged it back in. iPhoto says there are 0 photos on the phone even though there are obviously some.

    I had the same problem this morning. iPhoto hung up while "Finishing" an import of photos from the iPhone, and after force quitting iPhoto, more than half my photos failed to show up either on the iPhone or in iPhoto. After reading this topic, I figured the pictures had to be somewhere, so I opened a finder window, clicked "All Images" under "Search For" in the left-hand bar and there they were, apparently filed in "Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/Oct 31, 2009". I copied the pictures I had "lost" to the desktop and re-imported them with no problems. There's probably an easier way to do it, but that's what worked for me, and I'm happy to have my photos back.

  • Artist sort order and TSOP tags

    Can someone please help me understand how tagging and sort orders behave on an iPhone in advance of my buying one.
    I like to browse my music library by artist and, for example, I prefer to have "David Bowie" sort under "B" rather than "D". I believe that the spec for ID3v2.4 tags added the TSOP (Text Sort Order Performer) to over-ride the sorting order. Does the software on the iPhone take notice of the TSOP (or any alternative) tags when browsing by artist so that I can sort in the way I want?
    - Julian

    Sort order can either be set in iTunes or, if tagging using other programs before importing into iTunes, then the correct tags names to add are "Sort Artist" and "Sort Album" which will then be recognised by iTunes.

  • Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

    Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
    I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
    OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
    Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.

  • Sort order inconsistent behavior

    There seems to be inconsistent behaviour when defining a default sort order sequence.
    Everything works as expected when the display sequence and the order in which the columns are defined in the query are the same but as soon as the display sequence is changed the default sort order doesn't work for the second column in the order sequence.
    I have put up an example at [apex.com|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=36885:1]
    In report EMP the display sequence and query sequence are the same and the default sort on "Job" and "Hiredate" is correct working. Even when the user sorts on "Manager".
    The sort order sequence then becomes "Manager", "Job" and "Hiredate". As also descripted in the following Sorting on multiple columns
    And exactly the behaviour we are looking for.
    Report EMP2 is a copy of EMP with the only difference the order in which the columns are displayed
    Now the default sort order doesn't work as expected. The report is first ordered on "Job" but then on "Employee" instate of "Hiredate" as is defined. Interestingly "Employee" is the second column in the query.
    It seems that instate of the query_column_id the column_display_sequence is used in the order by. At least for the second column in the defined sort order sequence.
    This may also explain the behaviour mentioned with [derived columns and sort sequence|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1006429&#1006429]
    The display sequence in report EMP2 is where the wizard came up with.
    Nicolette

    Stew
    At the report attributes you can define the sort sequence of a column. When you do that initialy the report is sorted as you defined it. So in my example that is first by "Job"and within "Job" by "Hiredate". When the user sort explicit on an other column this column is put before the columns you have defined.
    So when the user clicks on "Manager" the sort order becomes "Manager", "Job", "Hiredate". When the user then sort on "Employee" the sort order becomes "Employee", "Job" an "Hiredate".
    This works when the order in which the columns appear in your query are the same as the order in which they are displayed.
    BUT as soon as the display order changes the sort sequence doesn't work anymore. Even worse is that also the initial sort sequence doesn't work for the second column any more. (I haven't tested for three or more columns)
    In the example I have put on apex.com in the second report the sort sequence of the report attributes is the same as in the first report. But the initial sort order that is actually done is on "Job" and "Employee" instate of "Job" and "Hiredate". Where "Hiredate" is the second column in the display sequence. But "Employee" is the second column in the query.
    So to really make use of the sort sequence you have to keep your display sequence equal to the order in witch they appear in the query. This isn't really practical.

  • Query Builder - sort order causing ORA-00979 error

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with the "sort order" clause in the query builder tool when using a function on the same column.
    I've build a simple query in the gui and the following statement is displayed in the SQL Window
    select     "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ID" as "ORDER_ID",
         sum(DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.QUANTITY) as "QUANTITY"
    from     "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS" "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"
    group by DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.ORDER_ID
    and if I add a sort order of "1" on the quantity field, the following query is changed to
    select     "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ID" as "ORDER_ID",
         sum(DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.QUANTITY) as "QUANTITY"
    from     "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS" "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"
    group by DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.ORDER_ID
    order by DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.QUANTITY DESC
    When running this query I get an error
    failed to parse SQL query:
    ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
    It is quite obvious what is wrong with the query but I don't know how to get the query builder tool to generate the correct statement. The order by clause should be order by sum(DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS.QUANTITY) DESC.
    I've tried to do some searching and haven't found much documentation on this issue. Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    While this statement is generally certainly true and should also be remembered, it is not really helpful for the specific case.
    I think the behaviour described is a bug. However this might be one a little difficult to solve. The user unfortunatly can't influence much of the query builder results directly.
    Either put 1 into the order by clause or use the column alias name without table alias name ("QUANTITY" only).
    My personal solution would be NOT TO use any sort criteia in the query builder. This makes sense in so far as the generated SQL is often basis for some report. If that is an interactive report you won't add a sort order anyway. This is a layout thing and layout will be handled by the end user itself. he can choose whatever sorting he wants.

  • Syncing photos from iPhone to original iPad

    What settings do you need for transferring photos from iPhone to iPad using photo stream. Sometimes they transfer and sometimes they don't. Is there a limit on how many photos you can have in the photo stream on the iPad as I have more photos in the photo stream on my phone than I do the iPad.

    There is a 1000 limit to the number of photos that you can have in the Photo Stream. Only the photos that take after you turn Photo Stream on will sync with the iPad. So are these missing photos that you took after you turned on Photo Stream on both devices or are you missing photos that were already on the phone before you enabled Photo Stream on the iPad?

  • E66: Configuring contact sort order when composing...

    Dear friends,
    This is probably a silly issue but still, I can't find a solution... I have upgraded my aging Nokia E66 RM-343 to 400.21.013 (this version was suggested by the Nokia Suite and it keeps telling me that this is the latest version). After the upgrade and restoring the phone settings, I am having problems with the contacts sort order when choosing recipients for an SMS message.
    I have configured the contact list for the "Last Name First Name" display order, and when making a voice call, the sort order is correct - the contacts are sorted by the last name. However, when writing an SMS message and choosing the recipients, the contact list is displayed in the "Last Name, First Name" mode but it is sorted by the first name which is extremely confusing and inconvenient.
    I just do not seem to be able to find where the sort order for the contact list as displayed when composing an SMS message can be configured. Anyone have any suggestion/hint? Thank you very much in forward!
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Unfortunately, the 6230i seems to have only one field for the contact name, so it has no way of knowing what is what. I guess the only thing you can do is reinput all the names manually.
