Top photo in iOS 8 folders?

The top photo changed somewhat arbitrarily when I upgraded to iOS 8 and remains that way on my iPhone 6.
IS there any way to manually choose the photo that displays as the folder icon?
thanks,
tom

Apple what is this terrible thing? It's about compressing photos in IOS 8. When im saved a photo to my PHOTO app and then "Set as the wallpaper" it looks terrible.
Something is wrong with your phone/OS.
This is not something that it does.
Reset your iPhone.
Press & hold both Home & Power until you see the Apple logo.

  • How to get in IPhoto chosen top photo of album presented in iOS

    On Mac a photo can be chosen as top photo.
    In Photos on iOS a random? photo is presented.

    In fact, I find the following instructions easier to teach someone how to do it (because copying a link is not easy for everybody, many people will end up clicking on the link and then not know what to do):
    1- Locate the Picasa Web Album you want to import
    2- Click on the link "RSS" (in blue on the right side). This opens the album in RSS mode
    3- Copy the url of the page (it doesn't matter that it now start with "feed://")
    4- In iPhoto, open the File menu and select "Subscribe to Photo Feed"
    5- Do a "Paste" and add (by typing): &imgdl=1
    Then hit Enter
    6- Wait for the album to display all images.
    7- Select all and copy them to the iPhoto Library with Drag & Drop
    8- Delete the Feed
    (wow, I am stunned it makes 8 steps when spelling things out!)
    It is interesting to note that, after step 2, if you add &imgdl=1 in the url and go there, you get what seems like the same page (the album in RSS), but the links to each photo are now hi-res (the photo name under each pic). Clicking one downloads the hi-res picture via the browser.
    This is not satisfactory by itself as it would need to be done for each picture, and it doesn't put the picture directly into iPhoto, but I just find it worth noting.

  • Syncing photos from several folders in iTunes to iOS devices

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up iTunes to sync photos on my MacBook Pro to my iOS devices (first of all, my iPhone 5, but to my iPad mini and iPad 3 as well).
    I happen to store my photos in a folder with a several level hierarchy: in the main photo folder there are folders for each year, in those there are folders for each event, and in those there is a separate folder for the subset of my photos that I want to be synced (photos that I like the most).
    Apparently, iTunes allows to select folders for syncing in only 1 level of hierarchy.  That would mean that one must not have separate folders for each year, nor for good and not-so-good photos - only one basic photo folder, and inside that folders for each event, and so every photo from selected events would be synced.
    I tried a workaround: I created a specific new folder especially for syncing purposes, and I defined Smart Folders inside it.  These Smart Folders would contain my desired photos virtually.  (I didn't want to make physical copies of my photos, because I did not want to waste disc space.)  But then it turned out that iTunes does not recognize photos in Smart Folders, only those in physical folders.
    Can you give me a solution, how could I sync photos in iTunes to my iOS devices, if these photos are not in folders that are only one but more level deep in hierarchy?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mikulka

    It works the way it works. I'd recommend you create a separate folder for any photos that you want to put on your devices, with one layer of subfolders as separate albums. Each device can sync with a different selection of those album folders.

  • HT204570 How can I see my photos in iOS organized by the faces I've identified on the Mac?  All of my devices are using the iCloud Photo Library.

    I want to be able to view my photos in iOS according to the faces I've identified in them on the Mac, but I can't seem to figure out how.  Any suggestions?

    On iOS, in the Photos app, use the search functionality (the magnifying glass, top right).  Once you click on the magnifying glass - you may need to wait a moment or two - you will see a list of suggested or recent searches.  You can type in a face name instead.  The results from the search will be all pics tagged with that name.
    You may have an issue with not all tagged pictures appearing in the search results, however.  Initially all appeared for me, but they no longer do.  There appears to be some issue with the reindexing of my picture data in the cloud - the search still returns folder names for folders which don't exist anymore.  Hopefully you won't have that to content with.

  • My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

    My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

    On iOS 6 the photos are copied over (from here) in date modified order. So you will either need to amend the photo's on your computer so that their modified dates are in your required order, or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which allow you to change an album's sort order within the app e.g. by date, size, or by dragging them into your own sort order.

  • Syncing Photos Loses Sub-Folders

    I am becoming very frustrated with Apple. I have been trying for some time to sync photos on my PC to my iPad3.  Regardless of what I try, the iPad ends up with the photos in sub-folders  being bundled up in the first level folders.  For example: if I have 24 folders, each with sub-folders holding photos, I end up with 24 folders holding all of my 6600 photos, with no sub-folders.  Where is the logic in this??
    To date I have bought 3 third-party apps which claim to be able to help, but they are either useless or make it difficult to view photos in a sensible way.

    That is how the Photos app currently works, it doesn't support sub-folders/albums, it only works to the one level - any photos that you have in sub-folders will be synced over to the parent folder's album. You can try leaving feedback for Apple via this page and maybe in a future iOS update it will change : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

    yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
    EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

  • How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?

    I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
    Thanks for your help!

    I solved my own problem.
    The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved!

  • Hi,   My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC

    Hi,
    My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
    When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos.  That option is ghosted.  I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  All help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Burning photos in separate folders to DVD from iPhoto/F

    Hi,
    I have sorted my photos into various folders within an album on iPhoto and would like to burn these onto one DVD in their separate folders (as opposed to lumping them all onto one DVD in one big folder).
    Unfortunately, when I insert a blank DVD and choose Open Finder, it no longer shows the photos in their separate folders, they are all bunched together. This would not be a problem if my SuperDrive (and Windows PC) didn't take a dogs age to preview the photos once they are burnt onto DVD but it does, therefore, I like to break them up into folders of around 100 photos each in order for the photo previews to load reasonably quickly.
    Does anyone know how to keep the photos in their separate folders and burn them onto a DVD keeping them in their separate folders please?
    Many thanks.

    Let's make sure we have the same terminology here. In the left hand pane of iPhoto we have folders and albums.  Folders can hold albums.  So are you referring to albums within a folder? 
    If so you will have to export each album's photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option. Once all of the albums have been exported to its own folder drag them onto a blank DVD disc in the optical drive and burn.

  • Photos in iOS show location, not title

    After syncing my iPod Touch (iOS 8.3) with my MacBook (Yosemite 10.10.3), all the photos on my iPod Touch now show the location and date taken, but not the title - even though the photos do have titles in Photos 1.0 on my MacBook.   Is there some way to get my iOS Photos to display titles?

    I want the title to appear - the same title that has been applied to Photos OS X on my MacBook.
    Photos in iOS cannot display titles. That's why it only displays the location and the date.   I linked to the Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support document, because it lists what Photos iOS cannot display. And titles and captions are one of the items. You cannot add titles or captions in Photos on iOS,  and so they are not displayed.

    You are not speaking to Apple here. So none of us can "fix it."
    TRy try quitting the Photos app followed by a reset of the ipad. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
