Sorted order of returned pictures from Apple

Hi,
Everytime I order prints (4x6) from Apple - via iPhoto - they are shipped to me in random order. For example, I upload 50 prints of a baseball game. When the 50 prints come back, the are not sorted in the same order I upload them (it is completely random!). Not an issue with 50, but when I upload 200 at a time, it is a pain to resort the pix. Any suggestions?

Zookeeper7:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The prints are probably printed in alphanumerical order and if you sent them in a different, manually set, order that would be the reason. Computers normally sort alphanumerically in folders/directories. So unless you export them from the album using the Use Album Name option, reimport and then order those renamed files you'll continue to get them in a different order.

Order a "Custom" Macbook from Apple Store

So first I am going to buy a macbook, I am getting
Macbook 2.0 ghz white
Apple Care
I work
1 gig ram
80 or 100gb harddrive
Now I know I can order this online, but can I order it in the store, then go and pick it up when its ready. I know they can't custimize it in the store, what I am asking is will an apple store hold my laptop until I pick it up. I have had alot of delivery problems lately.

Hi,
Regarding on line odering, I have ordered about 5 items from Apple's on line store. All have been positive experiences. But here is what made it an awesome experience:
I purchased an IBook G4 on line in early April not knowing the MacBook was coming out on May 16th (who did?). ALthough it was well over a month, I called customer service and complained that I wanted to return it because had I known about the MacBook, etc, etc.. I got a full refund (no restocking fee but I did have to pay $30 for Fedex to ship it back which I did not mind), then ordered a MacBook for my daughter. Apple's Customer Service and on line store have been teriffic. I also just ordered a MacBook Pro for myself from the online store with the glossy screen option, 2,16GHz and 2GB RAM. The Apple Stores do not offer the glossy screen option (at least not the store here in Hawaii). My point is that Apple is a very professional company and they want to make their customers happy. I have found them to bend over backwards to accomodate me

I didn't receive my return box from Apple for the iPod Nano replacement as promised within 2 working days, did anyone else?

I didn't receive my return box from Apple for the iPod Nano replacement as promised within 2 working days, did anyone else?

UPDATE. Just spoke with an AppleCare representative, Apple has been inundated with requests for these iPod Nano replacements. They have fallen behind with sending out the return boxes in the 2 days they promised. I was told to wait an additional 2 days. She also said they were very surprised so many people still have their 1st generation nanos...
We have been an Apple family for years and trust they will do the right thing, they have always surprised us with their professional customer service and expect this situation to be the same.

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.

Pictures from apple tv to imac

I have a first generation apple tv with all my pictures on it. I was synching with a PC and the hard drive failed. Is there a way to synch backwards from Apple TV for photos to my new IMAC?

Firstly do not sync with a new Mac as it will delete the content from the AppleTV.
Next, the bad news is that AppleTV is not storage/backup and there's no official way to get stuff off it.
Your options are:
1 - Dismantle it, remove the hard drive (2.5" PATA) and add connect to the Mac and copy (copy don't alter anything on it) files off the partitions to look for your media.
2 - Google unofficial AppleTV hacks/modifications, install one and access AppleTv via Terminal to copy stuff over if you can find it.
Sorry to say neither option is straightforward, and if you're not a Terminal/SSH guru the brute force method may be best though would invalidate any warranty.

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

How to I import pictures from Apple Photos 1.0 to Lightroom 6.0?

I can't find an option to do this! Importing pictures from my pictures does not have all the images. My photos app(by Apple) has all my pictures which I would like to import to Lightroom. Can anyone suggest how this can be done? I downloaded the trial version today. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

Sort Order issue when exporting from DRM

The sort order hierarchy (Parent/Child) in DRM is correct, and appears in the right order. When the hierarchy gets exported, some of the nodes are out of order in HFM.
There are shared nodes in the hierarchy. There is a Custom Sort order that is set correctly for the hierarchy in DRM.There is also a Query that was created to export nodes that does not contain the word Shared.
Ex
DRM
Parent 1
Child 2700
Child 2701
Appears in HFM
Parent 1
Child 2701
Child 2700
The sort order is not correct in Smartview. Why would the nodes show correctly in DRM, but export out of order, and not show correctly in HFM?
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Can you evaluate the DRM export results with the Hiearchy structure, also make sure the Default Hierarchy Sort on the Hierarchy has a value assigned to it, whether it is core or custom based on node ID, DRM should export nodes as they appear in DRM.

Sort order switches when changing from List to Thumbnail View

I can't seem to get the Thumbnail view to "lock" to the same sort order as the list view. I arrange by file name (or ingest date, or reverse media duration, or any of the other sortable metadata fields) in list view, but then when I click to the thumbnail view, the order seems to arbitrariliy change to some sort of preset. What's worse, it appears to be changing to something that's in a jumbled order.
This isn't a big deal if I only have 10 clips. If I have 100, or 1,000 clips though, they have to be in a sortable order for the thumbnail view to be of any use.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi,
Thanks for your post. Our current design doesn't support keeping order between list view and icon view. It would be good if you can drop that as a feature request / bug into the the forum.

Which countries can an individual iOS developer reside in in order to receive payments from Apple?

Is there any official documentation from Apple that specifies the list of countries they can send payments to? Does anyone of you have any experience with receiving payments outside of US (as a company or as an individual developer) ? Thanks.

As far as I know, the only limitation is the bank. If your bank has a SWIFT code, then Apple can send you money. If you think there would be a problem, I suggest you contact Apple directly for more accurate advice.

How do I change the sorting order of the pictures I want to take from an album to a photo book?

I have an album that contains over 300 pictures. I put them in the order I want them to appear in the photo book I want to make. When I select the entire content and choose Create Book, all the pictures appear on the right hand side of the book in two long columns, like they're supposed to. Problem is, they're not in the same order as they were in the album and I have to go searching for each picture because they're all over the place. I get the feeling I'm missing something very simple, yet crucial. Any help would be much appreciated. BTW, I use iPhoto 9.1.3 on an iMac running 10.6.7.

1) Open Discoverer Admin Edition.
2) DO NOT open any Business Areas.
3) Create a new Business Area with any old table in it (ex: SCOTT.EMP or a custom folder SELECT 'test' col1 FROM sys.dual)
4) Navigate to File -> Open.
5) Open up ONE Business Area (The one you want to appear first)
6) Navigate to File -> Open
7) Open up the next Business Area (The one you want to appear second) ....Repeat for all Business Areas..... 8) Select all of your REAL Business Areas and export (exclude the dummy Business Area)
9) Take a DB export of the EUL owner as a backup.
(you need to log into SQL*Plus or another SQL tool as the SQL owner to do this - take an export of all the tables of the schema)
10) Delete ALL Business Areas.
11) Import the .eex file.
You might be able to skip Step 9 if your database gets backed up anyway or if you trust the EUL export and import.

AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

Hey gang-
My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave,
Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.
Ernie

"Get Pictures from Apple iPhone" - How do I shut this off?

When I plug my iPhone in with a USB from my computer my pictures pop up. How can I have that NOT show up? The first time a message showed up asking prompting me if I wanted the photos to appear and I hit "don't show message again", but now I would not like my photos to pop up.
Any ideas?
Thnx

Boot to FTP to transfer pictures from Apple TV (firstgen)

i'm trying to recover about 15k photos from my firstgen appletv HD. i tried booting the appletv to a USB flash drive to enable FTP transfer to my iMac (Mountain Lion). i tried 3x's and my iMac never found it. (Actually, i couldn't find "Connect to Server" in the "Go Menu" in the OS X Finder - so i assume it couldn't find it. Also, i don't know if the appletv light was supposed to just flash orange or was it supposed to boot up to white? but, i digress...)
i'm wondering if, instead of testing alternate flash drives on PC-based and Mac-based platforms, i should just open the appletv, remove the HD and hardwire it as an external drive to my iMac or a PC. if i wipe, or otherwise fry the appletv boot file, can i still access the photos if i hardwire it as an external drive?
i appreciate all input. if you have personal experience, i'm interested to know.
thanks. dwc

Tou's won't allow us to discuss unauthorised modifications to Apple's software. You should look elsewhere or consider removing the HD from the device and directly mounting it on a Mac.
