Want to order subfolders in Library by date, not alphabetically: how???

Hi there,
New to Aperature. Used to use iView Media Pro, grudgingly went to Media Expressions, which I've just given up on.
I've imported all my folders of photos... in the Library I have a folder for each years since I got my first digital camera; in each of these folders I have two or three dozen folders (or which I would call albums) that contain photos from certain weekends or events or whatever. I'd like to keep these in order by date, not alphabetically. Can I do this somehow? I realize I can probably put an 'a' in front of 'Montreal visit' and this will move it up the line, but I'd rather not have to rename all of these folders with a's or double a's, etc. (I have more than 26 folders to deal with for each year of shooting.
Can someone kindly advise me?
thanks, Malcolm

Allen,
thanks for the reply. Would you be so kind as to give me a few examples? I mean, let's say I have a folder named 'Thanksgiving in Kingston' and another one named 'Christmas in Nova Scotia'. I'd like the 'Christmas' folder (December) to come AFTER the 'Thanksgiving' (October in Canada, November in US, but same concept applies) folder. I wish I could simply drag these folders into the order I'd like them to be in (by date), but I can't. What 'keywords' would you use that would keep these folders in the order I'd like them to be in. Or am I thinking too much inside the box?
thanks, Malcolm

    IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info.  There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either.  So, it seems I'm back to square one.
    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

    I think your Voice mailbox goes by time, not # messages, so if one or two of the messages is longer, then it would be "full" faster.
    Go to youmail.com and follow the directions to set up youmail.
    Just curious - why do you need to save 20+ messages?  Once I deal with them, I delete them.... and I rarely have more than one or two \saved messages....

    Bring up Control Center.  Do that by swiping up on the home screen starting down just above the home button.
    Rotation lock is on the bottom row, the second icon from the left (just to the right of the flashlight).
    Click it to release it.

  • TS4036 My wife and I have iPhones that backup to iCloud I upgraded my iPhone to iPhone 5 when I see stored from iCloud it restored all of my wife's phone data not mine how do I change it

    You need to restore from your backup and not your wife's. You need to check if your backup is under the same or different apple id. If Id is the same you need to erase phone and find correct backup to restore from. If different you just need to use it at restore time.

  • I have my iTunes library on my iPad. My husband wants to set up a library on his iPhone. How can we do this without screwing up my library or losing it altogether?

    I Have a iTunes library with approx. 3000 songs on it and my husband has an iPod that has his music. He wants to create a new library for his new iPhone.  I would like to know if we can create a new library for him without effecting my library. And we don't want to sync my whole library to his phone. I am also afraid of losing my library. Is there a way to have 2 separate libraries for 2devices? if it's possible, how do you set it up on a Mac?

    Hello dartal,
    Indeed, a new library can be created on your Mac. In order to create a new library and to switch between the libraries, hold the Option key on your keyboard while you open iTunes.

  • I want to delete my music library on my ipad. How do I do that?

    I want to give one of my ipads to a friend (I luckily have two) but I already had loaded my music on the old one and want to remove my music before giving it away. How can I do that?

    Connect the iPad to the computer > Open iTunes > click on "xxx's iPad" > click on the tab named music > uncheck all the playlists, artist, album, etc that are checked and on the very bottom there's a list of music, highlight them all right click and "Remove/Delete" > that's all you need to do.
    Any questions, please ask.

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a Holiday card, but the photo is in Aperture. How do I move the photo to iPhoto so I can make my card?
    Thanks,

    Option 1: In iPhoto - File -> Show Aperture Library and drag the pic from the Media Browser to the iPhoto Window. This will gve you your preview from Aperture.
    Option 2: Export from Aperture and import to iPhoto.

  • I just bought new ipod classic.  I want to transfer my music library to new device. How do I do this?

    I don't know how to transfer my music library to my new device.  I have just purchased an iPod classic

    "Transferring library" term is usually used with computers, If you still have old classic, you also should have computer that content came from. Once you connect your new classic to that computer- all your library will sync automatically (after registration). If you do not have computer, then it may present a bit of a problem, because as far as I know, Apple's way allows you to transfer only purchased in itunes store content - instructions in link below and you still going to need a computer. If you search these forums and Google, you will find multiple guides on using nonApple solutions. Please try to check references for those.

  • Want to put music on Dad's Iphone not sure how much stuff will be deleted

    I wanted to put music on my dads Iphone for his birthday, but since it is my itunes and not his, it will "clear" his iphone....now this is his very impoortant work phone and so I do not want to delete all of his emails and calendar and contacts and all of the other stuff like that from his iphone...so exactly how much will itunes delete when it clears his ipone?????????

    if the iPhone is setup to connect to your computer (which is not one he uses), everything will be cleared. in order to put content on his iPhone, you will have to connect it to the computer he has it already setup with. iPhone's can only be connected to 1 iTunes library, and each computer is a different 'library'.

  • How to fix downloads titles back to dates, not alphabetical.

    Starting August 25, Wait Wait podcast downloads started being listed alphabetically not by date, i.e., actor, actress, chef. Cannot figure out how to fix, have spent time trying. Plus, as others have said, some have just disappeared. I have a bunch saved but despair that they may also disappear. Anyone know how to change back?

    Replace the battery.  If that does not work, then system board is toasted...

  • Want to change the name of my network not sure how

    Hi:
    I set new airport express up Friday night but would like to modify the network name I gave it.
    Any suggestions as to how?
    Thanks

    Hi Britney2B
    Open up airport admin utility. Click the airport that appears in the list (sounds like there will only be one) You may have to eneter a password or not (you should have changed the default password to something more secure to stop others doing the exact same thing).
    You will see the network name in the settings. Simply change it to what you want, click update and let the airport do its stuff.
    If you have any security enabled which you should have, then you will have to enter your network password again, but this is nothing to worry about.
    Post back if any problems.
    Nb. If you don't want to do this, then you could restore your airport to factory settings and go through the entire setup again but the first method is far quicker.
