Sorting of Events/Faces

Hi All,
Here is my problem. I have all my events and faces synced to my iPhone (it's a replacement).
On my old iPhone when I went into photos the faces where listed after all the events. It now seems to be the other way round. This is mightly frustrating and has made me chose to remove all the faces from my iPhone (which isn't something I want to do)
Is there anyway to control the sorting option of this? I would like all the faces to be listed after my events, as I sort all my events by month taken, so my most recent pictures are always as the top of my photo list. I don't want to have to scroll through over 100 faces (yes I know... it's alot. I have almost 10,000 images on the iphone now!) to get to my events.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
James

How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

You can not -- neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

Problems with iPhoto sort of events.

In PC talk, I often nest folders within folders to better differentiate my images. The lowest level of folder becomes an iPhoto event. After loading into iPhoto, a sort of events includes all events independent of the next layer of folders not the events in the first folder then the events in the second folder.
How can I get iPhoto to pay attention to this nesting of folders within folders?

Create "folders" via the File ➙ New Folder menu. Folders can contain other folders, albums, slideshows, books, cards, etc. Albums can only contain photos. Therefore you can generate something like this:

Windows : Syncing photos Events, Faces and Places from Phtoshop Elements 8

Hi everyone,
I buy an iPad yesturday and i try to sync my photos.
I'm a PC user (windows 7 x64) so I try to use Photoshop Elements 8 in order to sync my photo with iTunes as describe in the iTunes manual.
Unfortunatly, I can sync the photo albums only ... but I can't sync events, faces and places information...
Is it normal ? Doesn't PSE 8 support the syncing of these information ??
If this is correct, is there an issue to have a full support in iPad Photo or do you know some app able to sync this ?
Thanks for your replies and excuse my english!

Your English is better than my French.
For the folders syncing with windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
For the Places; The ipad should display Places information for any photo with geotagging data. This is stored with the photo in the metadata. It is the Lat/Long of the photo. This info must be included on the photo file before syncing.
For the Events, I use separate folders within the master sync folder for each event. (see above).
I am not sure how Events and Faces works with PSE8 or if the method PSE8 uses is compatable with the ipad. iPhoto on a mac works for events and faces on the ipad, based on posts I have read here.

Smart Folder sorted by event titles

I have two smart albums which have very similar criterias. The only difference is that one includes pictures from overseas whereas the other doesn't.
However, viewing the two smart albums is a different experience altogether. The Overseas Smart Album doesn't sort the pictures in any way, whereas the other one sorts it by event title.
Both smart albums have the same preference for 'viewing': 'Sort by' is 'date, and the 'Event titles' can't be selected.
I would really like to view the smart album sorted by event titles. How do I do it? Why can I do it for one but not for the other?
Help appreciated! I have already tried lots of different options!
Tks

Why don't my photos appear as they do in iPhoto on my Apple Computer. Even though I specify to sync all Events, Faces, etc. the iPad 2 is missing Faces categories and the Events are in a different order.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Windows : Syncing photos Events, Faces and Places from PSE8 to an iPad with iTunes

Hi everyone,
I buy an iPad yesturday and i try to sync my photos.
I'm a PC user so i try to use PSE in order to sync my photo with iTunes as describe in the iTunes manual.
Unfortunatly, I can sync the photo albums only ... but I can't sync events, faces and places information...
Is it normal ? Doesn't PSE 8 support the syncing of these information ??
If this is correct, when does PSE will support this function ?
Thanks for your replies and excuse my english!

Hello, Mathieu. I think that is normal. From the ipad user guide:
Photos organizes collections by Albums, Events, Faces, and Places. Places uses the location information encoded within each photo, and not all photos may have this information. Events and Faces must first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad.

How to auto sort photo by face or date ?

How can i auto sort my photos by date or by face "like android sys" or even by event , its too hard to organize my photos and my vid's . Could any one can help me ???

Photos are not displayed in events/faces/photos but do when magnified

I just reinstalled my OS from 10.6 back to 10.5 (software compatibility). When I imported my iphoto library which I had backed up, everything imported, but I cannot see any of the pictures unless I double-click to magnify. I can see the white dashed outline of where the pictures are supposed to be in the events and photos folders, all of the names appear in faces, etc. but I just can't actually view a photo unless I magnify it. Any ideas?

I just talked to apple support on the phone. They suggested rebuilding the thumbnails, like TD suggested. When I told the support guy that that method did not work, he said that the only other option was to build a new library and import the originals.
I was told to find the iPhoto library in the Users...>Pictures folder, right click on it and select Show Package Contents, then move the Originals and Modified (edited pictures) folders to the desktop. The iPhoto library can then be moved to the trash. When launching iPhoto, it asks what library to use. Select Create New... and the default name and location are iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder. Click save, then go to File>Import to library and select the Originals and Modified folders from the desktop. Any pictures that have been modified are still in their original form in the Originals folder. Both versions (original and modified) of a picture will be imported if both folders are selected for import.
Unfortunately, slideshows, books, folders, etc. could not be saved in my case, but the most important thing is that the pictures are still there.
Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem!

No problem with iPhoto 09, but iPhoto 11 has wrong sorting, even when i sort it via names.
Some ! Event x are in the beginning, then some "normal" names without ! are in and then again some with ! ....

Sort order for Faces

Does anyone know if the Faces panel in Aperture has a sort order option? In particular, I'm interested in sorting the faces that show up on the panel based on number of photos included.

All you do is hold down on any of the icons for a few seconds and they will start wiggling. You can then move them to your hearts content, either on the same page or to different pages. Just press the HOME button to return to normal mode.

IPhoto '11 -- manual sort of event photos is not available

Hi,
When viewing an Event, for some reason, I am unable to drag and drop to sort the photos. View > Sort Photos shows Manually and Reset Manual Sort are grayed out.
I am able to do a manual sort of the Events themselves in the Events window, but when I open an Event and view the photos in that Event, I can't reorder them. I am reading the Help file, and I can't see why this isn't working.
Doing a manual sort in an Album works by dragging and dropping.
Thanks for any help.
John

That's correct. The manual sort applies only to the Events themselves, not their photos. Within an Event photos can be sorted by Date, Keyword, Title or Rating. Not manually. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you want to sort the contents of an Event manually drag the Event into the Album section of the left hand pane to create an Album of that event. Then you can use a manual sort.

Sort all events in iphoto9

Hi,
I have around 100+ events with thousands of pictures and would like to sort them. I would like to just have 20-30 events with the best pics from the many. Dump all the other pics in a single big event. How do I do this? I am not able to duplicate pics among events. Please let me know the best way to organize to import to Windows too. Btw, when I import to Windows, all the data on the photo, I mean event names, etc are not retained. How do I work around this?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the inputs. But this is what I would like to do. Re-arrange the events
Generally the best way to operate is to leave events as the default simple organization and do your real organizing using albums, folders and keywords
and delete all unnecessary pictures (have 10,000+ pics)... thus organize events with few of the best pics.
Star ratings are the quickest and easiest way to select your best photos - you can delete low quality photos or hide them
I have backed up my system using TM. So, if I backup again, will the backup re-write everything in iphoto on my EHD?
Time Machine does a continual (hourly) backup and at anytime you can go back to any desired date/time - TM does not overwrite anything until it runs out of space and then starts eliminating the oldest information
Sorry for being so confusing... Aim is to have all these 10,000+ pics on my EHD and the best few pics (around 200-300) on my system... how I do achieve this?
I have no idea what you mean - do you have two iPhoto libraries that have different numbers of photos?
2. About windows : If I connect my EHD to windows, this is what happens. All the package contents of iphoto are displayed.
As noted above iPhoto has NO cross platform capabilities - you can not use it in any way form windows except to export photos and use the exported ones - And the iPhoto library MUST be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - the PC can not read this format unless you have some special software so if you can use your EHD on both systems you probably are going to have problems with iPhoto on the Mac
The organization is lost. How do I copy the photos the same way they are organized in mac to windows?
As noted by TD - export them
I mean, if I have events named as A, B, C, and few albums as X,Y,Z.. how do I get the same organized set in windows?
Export each event into a folder with the event name
