Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R?

Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R?  They are in a folder in desktop and in order before I burn the CD.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,
I don't know if it's too late to help, but I had this same problem and have found a solution that does not involve an iPhoto-only-CD or a slideshow.  So for future users with this issue: 
The photos get out of order because iPhoto's software arranges them superficially as you please, but when you put them back in an ordinary folder the computer wants to arrange them by date or file name (the original file name).  You're not doing anything wrong, it's just the difficult thing about switching between an application and file storage on the finder. 
The word you're looking for is Export, under the file menu in iPhoto. 
Make a new folder on the desktop (or wherever).   Use the Export function under file.  A box should appear.  Choose the quality of JPeg you want, etc.  This next part is key:  if you set the "File Name" bar to "Sequential" the photos will be renamed in your order when they are sent to your new folder.  This way, even if they are sorted by name they will appear in the order you want.  You can also put a prefix on it, for instance "Paris-" would give you files named "Paris-01", "Paris-02" etc.  Now you should be able to burn the new folder on a disk using the usual methods.  And your PC friends will be able to see it! 
P.S. you could also just upload the ablum to flickr, facebook, or something in the cloud and keep your order that way.  But if you want a hard copy this is way is handy.

  • HT4623 Why can't I Play the free games after I download them

    Why can't I get play the games after I download them?

    Why?
    Probably because Facebook Games on the website need Flash to run, and iPads don't natively support Flash.
    You may be able to find a Flahs supporting browser in the Appr Store. (Search for "flash browser"). Though support is not 100% for any of them, but maybe some of the games may work. 

  • Mac OS X partition ("Macintosh HD") gets out of sync after hibernation

    Hello,
    I have a first-generation Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I run Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP Profession 32-bit through Boot Camp on it.
    I notice that the Mac OS X partition gets out of sync after I hibernate in Windows XP, reboot into Mac OS X Lion, restart and resume Windows XP. Certain folders would remain visible in Windows Explorer but become inaccessible, while some folders that I just created in Mac OS X would not even show up.
    Is there a way to tell Windows XP to "remount" the HFS+ partition?
    Steps to reproduce:
    Boot into Windows XP;
    Hibernate Windows XP;
    Boot into Mac OS X;
    Pick a folder and change something in it;
    Create a new folder;
    Reboot and resume Windows XP;
    Open "Windows Explorer";
    Try to access the folders you just meddled with.

    Don't hibernate, shut XP down when you reboot and the issue goes away, you really should consider using a more modern operating system.

  • Why are my Smart playlists out of order in iOS 5?

    Since upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPad and iPhone 4 (Verizon), many (not all) of my smart playlists made in iTunes are out of order in both my iPad and iPhone (meaning the songs within the lists are our of order not the lists themselves).  Somtimes the playlists vary even between my iPad and iPhone, not just with iTunes.
    I tried a couple of workarounds I found on the web:
    1) I've unchecked Live Updating on my affected Smart playlists, but it only seemed to work on some of them. 
    2) Resorting the Smart playlists in iTunes by a different order, like Album, Name, or Artists seemed to work for others.
    Still, some of the smart playlists on my iPad and iPhone have resisted even these solutions and stubornly will not sort to the order I have them in iTunes. 
    My iPad has now more smart playlists synced correctly than my iPhone, yet, i have the same sync settings for both of them.  I've been trying to find the rhyme or reason behind the mangled sort order but haven't a clue.  Anyone else experiencing such strange behavior with smart playlists since upgrading to iOS 5? Is this a bug or just some setting I am missing?

  • Why did my pictures download out of order?

    I am trying to do a picture video for my son for Graduation.  When I scanned and entered the items I wanted on the flash drive I did it in the order I wanted it on the video.  Then when I went to adobe premier and uploaded them they uploaded out of order.  I am trying to put it all back in order but I am not sure how tk do it in a fast time.  It's taking forever.  I am about ready to delete it all and start all over with the upload but if they never will upload in order then I would have to start completely over.  Please help!  I have a hp laptop that I am using

    On a side note, 'upload' means to transfer a file from a local computer to a remote computer over a network, and 'download' means the reverse, from a remote computer to a local computer.  These terms have nothing to do with PP after the installation process.
    What you're doing is importing the media.

  • Camera Roll is out of order after Trimming clips

    My iPhone 4 was getting full, so I decided to go and trim down some of the videos I had recorded. Now, the videos on my camera roll are all out of chronological order. The software put them right up front of the list, as if it was using the date I edited them, not the date that they were created. This is no good! How do I get my videos back in chronological order?
    -Ben

    Problem solved - but unsure of the cause. Turns out the ones that were out of order were duplicates of photos that appeared further up in my Camera Roll (and in the proper place, chronologically). Unsure why I had the duplicates, but simply deleted them to resolve.

  • Camera roll pictures are out of order after upgrading to iOS 8.1

    It's nice that iOS 8.1 brings camera roll back. However, pictures are out of chronological order. I'm using iPhone 5s. I upgraded iOS from 8.0.2 to 8.1, and noticed this issue.

    That's weird cause my videos are all interspersed with everything else like they used to be, which unfortunately means it's inconsistently screwing up too.  My pics start with 2007 (first year i got an iphone) then run up to about 2014 vaguely in order, then back to 2013 where everything's all out of order, then down to 2012 again (also out of order), then 2011, 2010, 2009 etc like it's running backwards to 2007.  Then once it hits 2007 again, it jumps to this past july.
    SO aggravating!

  • 10.8.3  - Messages still out of order after waking from sleep or restart

    This bug is still present in Messages, although it was supposed to be fixed with 10.8.3.
    I've tried both the App store update to 10.8.3 as well as the combo updater. When I check Messages' version after each, it's 7.0.1 (3318), and the copyright date is 2002-2012. So I'm assuming that the application is not being updated, although I don't know what version of Messages was included in 10.8.2.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    Hi,
    It is the same app version and build number.
    The Apple Doc linked from the COMBO download page states the "fix" applies to Messages on waking from Sleep and at no other occasion.
    It seems that people are also reporting the iMessages are out of order during the Sync (sort of a Known Issue since Messages beta when New iMessages are Instant  and mix with a Sync that is in progress).
    They are also reporting them out of order even when not syncing (i.e. the Mac is On and Awake  just not the device in use).
    Of these some people are reporting that in some cases the restarting of the app restores the correct order.
    It seems this may be the ones that arrive as New during the sync process rather than other occasions.
    What is not clear is what steps might help.
    Obviously removing the Apple ID in the Mac Version (Sign Out) and shutting the app, restarting it and adding the Apple ID again sound more involved than a fix should be.
    However refreshing the Link to the server may be the way to go.

  • Why do my still images look shaky after I burn them to DVD?

    Hello all,
    I'm in need of some help. I'm making a 30 second commercial with still images. The first problem is when I burn them to DVD and view them on my TV the shake. It looks fine on Youtube because I had to place it there for my boss to review. Any idea why this is happening?
    I'm exporting to Compressor then burning using DVD Studio Pro.
    Also, I put the color bars in but I don't hear a sound on the DVD or in the sequence line but I do if I'm in the View window.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've got a 9:30 am deadline for submission!

    thanks, i tried the deinterlace but can't watch on the dvd player till the morning. 6:30 am i'll try to see if that worked. if not i'll try your other suggestion. gotta take a quick nap
    thanks so much!!!

  • TS3276 why the emails keep coming into my inbox after I delete them?

    My emails keep coming into my inbox after I deleted them. Why is that?

    It sounds like your ISP's Mail Server is an IMAP type that retains the Mail on the Server.  You need to go into your Mail> Preferences>Accounts> and set the Mail to Delete from the Server, after a set amount of time.
    Hope this helps

  • My songs keep getting out of order

    I have a few albums which are out of numerical order. I just clicked on song number 1 to play it and it moved to the bottom of the list for that album. I have another album which is completely out of numerical order. I just want to get the tracks back to the way they should be.

    For a fuller examination of this topic see Grouping tracks into albums. The images are a little out of date, but the advice is still valid.
    If tracks jump around when you play them then the chances are that an external program such as Windows Media Player has touched the files and iTunes is discovering changed data as it plays the file. WMP is good at removing the Disc X of Y values which can affect the order in iTunes.

  • Why can't I get my pre order to download on my iphone?

    I downloaded some pre ordered music to my mac this morning but I cannot get the music to show up in my purchased items on my iphone so I can download it there also. I'm at work and cannot sync my phone with my work computer so I would like to redownload the music directly to my iphone. The account is the same so why can't I see the music in recent purchases? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Photo files get out of order

    I loaded different photo files on an iPad2 (iOS 8.2) from my computer (Windows).
    For some time they appear on the iPad in the order that is to be seen on the computer - organised by date (e.g. 2010 October; 2011 March and so on).
    After some time -can be weeks - the same order still applies from the oldest to the newest file but after the newest file some older ones appear again. In those "doubles" you do not even have the pictures that appear in the file that is in the correct position but photos taken from a completely different file.
    The same thing happens again after having deleted all files and then having synchronized them with iTunes.
    How can I solve that problem?
    I am grateful for your advice.
    Chulumani

    Ok, thanks, but odd that it wouldn't follow the order in the computer. Anyone know what variable is used by iPod when sorting pictures in a slideshow?
