Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames

  • HT201317 Why are my photo streams showing on my iPad but not my camera roll photos from my iPhone?

    JUst bought iPad. Photos not loading from iPhone. iCloud is on on all settings.

    No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
    I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
    My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing.  "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

  • HT201077 Why are my photos on my iphone and ipad not the same?

    My camera roll and photo stream on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 are not the same.  I have the same apple id for both and both devices are running ios 7.0.4.
    Any ideas?

    The camera roll contains photos actually taken on your device, or saved from text messages, emails, websites, etc.  Because of this you shouldn't expect both devices to have the same photos in the camera roll.
    The my photo stream album is also usually differerent on your devices.  This happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though they stay on your devices longer).  When you enable photo stream on a device, it can only receive photo stream photos still in iCloud, which are those from the last 30 days.  A consequence of this is that unless you enabled photo stream on both devices within 30 days of each other, one is likely to end up with fewer photo stream photos than the other.

  • Why are my photos different from originals in iPhoto 9.5.1?

    Hi
    I import photos from my iPhone 5S, if I then hit 'revert to original' in 'Edit' mode they look very different? Why is this?
    Is the iPhone or iPhoto adding certain qualities before I have done anything myself?
    I want to use the photos for a website and want them to look as good as possible across the web, different computers/screens/software etc
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    With iOS version are you using?  And in what way are your photos looking different?
    "Revert to original" will remove any filters added in the Camera app. iPhoto on your Mac can undo certain adjustments added on the iPhone.
    Have you enabled effects in the Camera, like Chrome or Instant?

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • What has happened? Where is my iPhoto and why are my photos now in Photos. This *****. The whole reason I bought a Mac was the ease of iPhotos. Horrible.

    What has happened? Where is my iPhoto and why are my photos now in Photos? This *****. The whole reason I bought a Mac was the ease of iPhotos. Horrible. Bad move.

    iPhotos is still in your Applications folder. The iPhoto Library is still in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are my photo icons scrambled? IMAC, new!

    You really will need to give some information before anyone can help. Is this in the Finder? Or some application? What on earth does "scrambled" mean?

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • HT5824 why are my photos from my I-Phone 5 not downloaded to I Cloud

    Where are the photos on your phone and where are you expecting to see them that you don't.

  • Why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?
    Some programs such as Photoshop give the option to print to CMYK or sRGB color spaces.  Even though the printer uses CMYK inks the driver is expecting sRGB data.  If CMYK is selected the prints will be much too dark.
    Another thing to check is the media type.  If you are printing on plain paper and have seelcted Photo paper the prints have too much ink.

  • Why are my photos importing from my sd card out of order?

    Why are my photos importing out of sequence when uploading from an sd card?

    The card is probably sorted alphanumerically in ascending order, i.e. a1, a2, a3, etc.  So set your view option to: Sort by Title Ascending. Then check to see if that's correct.  If not change it.

  • Why are my photos from iphone not on my computer?

    why are my photos from my iphone not on my computer?

    Someone actually responded to me in another thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16418849#16418849
    Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
    Do a sync.
    Then check the box.
    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James
    Cheers

  • Why are my photos now appearing in very low resolution?

    What happened to my sharp and clear photos? Why are my photos now very low resolution with a progress image appearing as a circle on the photo and filling in 1/4 of the circle.  Why are the photos very low resolution copies that look like crap? Where are the good sharp photos I took?

    Latest iOS on iPad Air in photos. It appears server was slow. Progress bar circle now filling in complete circle and resolution is good.  Why do I have to download my photos from iCloud i have plenty of memory space on my ipad ?  Same with movies and music I purchased.  I bought extra physical
    memory when I purchased my iPad so I could view my stuff regardless of whether I had a wifi connection...apparently not.

  • Why are my photos sorted alphabetical in iPhoto (which is what I want)  but in date order on my iPhone & iPad?

    Why are my photos sorted alphabetical in iPhoto (which is what I want)  but in date order on my iPhone & iPad?

    One for the iPad or iPhone forums I would guess. There is no iPhoto for iOS
