What order are iPhoto events sorted when synced?

When I sync the last xx months from iPhoto to my iPhone via iTunes they certainly aren't alphabetical and they are in no sort of chronilogical sorting when I look in iPhoto. Does anyone know how sorting is decided there in the Events album in the photos app? I'm on iOS 7.0.3 FYI.

So, turingtest2 has it exactly right... Unwatched movies view is sorted by Album Artist. So here's a nice little fix for that... you can go through and manually copy the Name of the movie into the Album Artist field, but if you have a lot of movies in this category, it will be tedious. A better option, is to go to www.dougscripts.com, and download the This Tag, That Tag applet. You can find a link here. You can then select ALL of your unwatched movies, run the applet, and elect to copy the movie Name into the Album Artist field. Boom! And since Doug has done such an awesome job of saving you a bunch of time and effort, throw him a little donation.
Peace,
Jared

Deleted iPhoto events reappearing when syncing with devices

Events deleted from Iphoto and all Photo Streams on devices reappearing in itunes when I sync my devices. Using iOS 8.1.3 and an Iphone 5S and Ipad 2.

Either you need to repair your iPhoto Library, or iTunes is using a different iPhoto Library than you checked. Where i your current iPhoto Library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive? Do you have a second iPhoto Library somewhere on your Mac or on an external drive? Maybe a connected backup drive?
If you have nowhere a second iPhoto Library, try the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools.
But, make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you proceed.
Which version of iPhoto do you have? In iPhoto '11 do the following:
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
Then select "Rebuild database" from the First Aid pane.
The may take a while for a large library. Run also the "Repair permissions" option.

What order are find results in?

When I use Spotlight and then select the "show in finder" option, what order
are the results supposed to be in? Alphabetical, you'd think, if "name" was
selected. But there seem to be many sublists in a large set of result, each
restarting some sort of order every so many lines. And why wouldn't clicking
"name" again simply resort these? It seems the only sort that affects the
entire list in a predictable manner is sort by "type". Have I inadvertently
selected something wrong or am I missing something? This makes spotlight
much less useful to me.
Anyone notice this?

Hi Ves,
The AFCS dev guide mentions this in passing (3.1.5.1) but doesn't go into quite enough detail - we'll make a note to improve this for the next go-round.
Essentially, all items for a given CollectionNode (from all of its nodes) are synched in the order that they were published, irrespective of which node they were published to. You can actually put a breakpoint down in MessageManager.receiveItems to watch this - all items for the entire collection are received in one big blob, then pushed onto an array, then sorted according to their timestamps and order, then sent as itemReceive up to the collectionNode.
So yes, you could easily end up with an itemReceive for EVERYONE, followed by an itemReceive for HOSTS, then another one for EVERYONE. We make sure that they essentially come in the same order they did for people who were actually in the room at the time. For example in the chat pod, if I asked a question to the HOSTS node, which they answered on the public EVERYONE node, I'd want the items to be received in the right order, or the collective history wouldn't make sense.
For separate CollectionNodes, their synchronization are kept separate (one at a time), since they're the result of individual subscribe() requests - the advice here is that if you have a series of items that have some dependency on order of arrival, you should make sure they're part of the same CollectionNode (which makes sense). If you need A to finish synching before B begins, put those items on different collectionNodes and call their subscribe() methods in that order. So, you can have it either way, depending on how you want to set it up.
hope that helps

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

My pictures get shuffled into wrong events when syncing to iPad mini. Any suggestions?

Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

IPhoto Event Sorting Issue

Iphone 4 sorts photo events by "Date" even though Iphoto is sorting them by "Name". If I plug in my Ipod touch it sorts them by "Name". I called Apple on this and they told me that the Iphone 4 has the same operating system as the Ipod touch and they should sort the same. I have tried reseting everything from the phone to Iphoto itself but still no go.
Any ideas?

Open Iphoto.
Select all events
Open "Batch Change"
Set "Date" as current date
It will then set all time the same
It will then sort by event name
Sync your Iphone and all events will be in alphabetized order.

No events listed when syncing with iPhone

When syncing with iTunes, events are no longer listed when choosing option s photos on the iPhone?? Why

I confirmed that I have the radio button checked that says "Sync all Contacts", but not the one that specifically shows Yahoo! Address Book. So the question remains, why does iTunes consistently prompt me to sync Yahoo! Address Book? How can I stop that from happening?

In what order are results from gather_database_stats 'LIST AUTO' returned?

11.2.0.1.0. The results from the following seem to have some order to them (groupings of objects returned alphabetically). Didn't see anywhere in the docs to indicate what's getting returned in what order (empty stats, stale stats). I looked at table stats for one at the top of the list and it looks like the table had stats gathered recently, so i'm confused. I ran this from sqlplus:
set serveroutput on size unlimited;
DECLARE
ObjList dbms_stats.ObjectTab;
BEGIN
dbms_stats.gather_database_stats(objlist=>ObjList, options=>'LIST AUTO');
FOR i in ObjList.FIRST..ObjList.LAST
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(ObjList(i).ownname || '.' || ObjList(i).ObjName || ' ' || ObjList(i).ObjType || ' ' || ObjList(i).partname);
END LOOP;
END;
/

Enlightened answer: "So bug off and work with what you get"
The report was run on a database that doesnt have any auto stat collection occurring. There are 4000 items returned in the list. One of the items looks ok when you look at dba_tables (row count correct and last_analyzed recent). Just trying to figure out why this table was included in the list. Might be the way stats collected for it isn't updating some mechanism that gather_database_stats is utilizing. From what I can tell the order is 1) tables with no stats, 2) indexes with no stats, 3) stale tables.

In what order are msgs consumed with single sess & multiple async consumers

Sun MQ will serialize delivery of messages when you have a single session and multiple asynchronous consumers created from that session. I am trying to find out what is the order in which the messages will be delivered by the session to the message listener.
So if I have 10 consumers on 10 destinations, each with 100 messages, in what order will messages be passed to the message listener.
Thanks

In our testing, we have found that the consumerFlowLimit implementation will guarantee that you'll receive your messages out of order. What happens is that messages will be put in the consumer buffer and they won't be available for round-robin delivery to the other consumers (even if they are idle). I'd recommend setting the consumerFlowLimit=1 which minimizes the impact of this, but every other message will still be out of order (ie consumer #1 grabs messages 1&2, consumer #2 grabs messages 3&4, etc; so that they will process 1&3 together, and 2&4 together. I consider this a very serious bug of openMQ and wish we could disable the consumerFlowBuffer all together to get guaranteed processing order from the queue.

In my Movies list, what order are movies sorted in when viewing the 'Unwatched' tab in grid view? Because it sure isn't 'by title' like I have selected. What gives?

Sample movie order:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
Bella
No Country for Old Men
Breach

So, turingtest2 has it exactly right... Unwatched movies view is sorted by Album Artist. So here's a nice little fix for that... you can go through and manually copy the Name of the movie into the Album Artist field, but if you have a lot of movies in this category, it will be tedious.

What order are Archive logs restored in when RMAN recover database issued

Ok, you have a run block that has restored your level-0 RMAN backup.
Your base datafiles are down on disc.
You are about to start recovery to point in time, lets say until this morning at 07:00am.
run { set until time "TO_DATE('2010/06/08_07:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD_HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate channel d1 type disk;
allocate channel d2 type disk;
allocate channel d3 type disk;
allocate channel d4 type disk;
recover database;
So the above runs, it analyses the earlies SCN required for recovery, checks for incremental backups (none here), works out the archivelog range
required and starts to restore the archive logs. All as expected and works.
My question: Is there a particular order that RMAN will restore the archive logs and is the restore / recover process implemented as per the run block.
i.e Will all required archive logs based on the run block be restored and then the database recovered forward. Or is there something in RMAN that says restore these archive logs, ok now roll forwards, restore some more.
When we were doing this the order of the archive logs coming back seemed to be random but obviously constrained by the run block. Is this an area we need to tune to get recoveries faster for situations where incrementals are not available?
Any inputs on experience welcome. I am now drilling into the documentation for any references there.
Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the response I checked this and here are the numbers / time stamps on an example:
This is from interpreting the list backup of archivelog commands.
Backupset = 122672
==============
Archive log sequence 120688 low time: 25th May 15:53:07 next time: 25th May 15:57:54
Piece1 pieceNumber=123368 9th June 04:10:38 <-- catalogued by us.
Piece2 pieceNumber=122673 25th May 16:05:18 <-- Original backup on production.
Backupset = 122677
==============
Archive log sequence 120683 low time: 25th May 15:27:50 Next time 25th May 15:32:24 <-- lower sequence number restored after above.
Piece1 PieceNumber=123372 9th June 04:11:34 <-- Catalogued by us.
Piece2 PieceNumber=122678 25th May 16:08:45 <-- Orignial backup on Production.
So the above would show that if catalogue command you could influence the Piece numbering. Therefore the restore order if like you say piece number is the key. I will need to review production as to why they were backed up in different order completed on production. Would think they would use the backupset numbering and then piece within the set / availability.
Question: You mention archive logs are restored and applied and deleted in batches if the volume of archivelogs is large enough to be spread over multiple backup sets. What determines the batches in terms of size / number?
Thanks for inputs. Answers some questions.

What order are Nodes Syncronized in within the same NodeCollection?

Basically is there a guarantee of synchronization order within a NodeCollection? I assume that there is and that it is based off the order in which the nodes were created. For instance in the SimpleChatModel the Node creation order is:
HISTORY_NODE_EVERYONE
HISTORY_NODE_PARTICIPANTS
HISTORY_NODE_HOSTS
TYPING_NODE_NAME
When synchronizing will I receive all of the messages in HISTORY_NODE_EVERYONE before I receive *ANY* messages for HISTORY_NODE_PARTICIPANTS? Will HISTORY_NODE_PARTICIPANTS send all of its messages before HISTORY_NODE_HOSTS sends its messages? When I say "sent" I don't as much what the actual network traffic is (I don't care about the actual packet order of arrival, that is your job AFCS developers ), what I really care about is whether ItemRecieve for HISTORY_NODE_PARTICIPANTS can get executed while HISTORY_NODE_EVERYONE is still receiving messages?
To take this a step higher in the hierarchy to the NodeCollection level does a NodeCollection need to be fully synchronized before another NodeCollection (that called subscribe after the first one) can get any ItemRecieve messages? If NodeCollection A subscribes before NodeCollection B is A guaranteed to get synchronized before B? Will A finish Synchronizing before B gets its first message?
I am starting to run into an issue where I need to make sure certain NODEs are synchronized before I start recieving messages in other NODEs. I of course can check for the dependencies on reception and simply defer execution until the dependency is sync'd but this will create a lot more code failure points than I really wanted. I was hoping for a simplier way of doing this.

On Provision or reProvision, what order are the resources proccessed in?

Howdy,
I am fighting a race condition. Occasionally, when an end user claims their computing accounts, and active sync thread is undoing some of the claiming process. I have done a lot of work to eliminate race condition potential, and am now rather stumped. However, I have come to wonder if the Provision workflow service is the culprit. The toUpdate list has LDAP first, a few DB resources, then Lighthouse. It is the LDAP active sync process that is stepping on the toes of the account claiming. Does this list get processed linearly in order? If so this might explain what is happening. However I can not find any information in the order of execution....
Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Jim

Calendar events modified when syncing btw Entourage2008 & iPhone

I sync contacts, notes and calendar btw Entourage 2008 and my iPhone 3.0. Everything had been syncing smoothly but suddenly I have got a msg saying that more than 5% of my computer calendar records will be modified. I cancelled the calendar sync.
When I checked the details of the modifications it shows the following for one record:
Before sync the birthday event ( which pulls directly from contacts) shows Classification "Public" and no alert scheduled
After sync the birthday event shows Classification "empty" and an alert is scheduled
I don't know what classification refers to and on my iPhone and my Entourage calendar this particular birthday event has an alert already scheduled.
One other unusual thing I have found is that many of the birthday events are duplicated in the Entourage calendar in iCal and on my iPhone, but on my main Entourage calendar they appear only once.
Appreciate any assistance. Andrew

Don't sync those entries to your work calendar. The iPhone supports multiple calendars. If you're not using iCloud, start using it and keep your personal stuff out of your work calendar.
Marking them as private manually will NOT protect them from view by others. Your supervisor , theirs, and on up the food chain, may well have the ability to see your "private" calendar entries.
From the perspective of IT and the company/organization, there is no such thing as "private" or "personal" data on company owned computers and networks.

IPhoto immediately freezes when synced with iPhone.

When I open iPhoto and sync my iPhone 4 to my Mac, the program freezes immediately. I have updated both phone, computer, and iPhoto to all the current versions. This problem has occured every single time I've tried to sync the two for the past 3 months. It does not crash, it just freezes, and I have to force quit the program.

Hi,
I have just switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. I have the same iTunes and Apple ID on both the iPhones (the other one is used by my wife) but I created different iCloud ID for both the iPhones. When I synced the new iPhone 4S with my laptop, I found that my calender events on my laptop dissappeared.
This never happened with iPhone 4. Can you please help to find out the reason?
Thanks
When you created a new Apple ID and logged the phones in you disconnected them from the account where your calendars etc are, use your original ID.
