Title: How do I sync iPad with Aperture folder?
Post by: Josef Isayo on October 18, 2010, 07:12:21 pm

I can't seem to be able to sync a folder from Aperture to show up with the right sequence of numbers on my iPad. In Aperture the files are numbered 1 through 296 but when syncing with the iPad (via iTunes) they are randomly all over the place.
I spend nearly two hours with Apple tech support with no solution.


Thanks!

That is how iPad Stock Photo app is.. Of course I learnt it hard way but there is no way you can do sequencing or keep pictures in order. You would need to use a third party application for this. I use an app named Sortshots (www.sortshots.com) which lets you sequence on name, size etc. as well as create a custom sequence with a simple drag and drop interface. There are several more features like EXIF/Metadata support, Tagging, Share and so on but the sequencing is the one which made me buy this thing.. Take a look in case that helps

pixelsync (http://www.pixelsyncapp.com/) does this and a lot more....take your aperture library with you and work on your ipad....and sync the changes wirelessly...

This is a problem with the ipad and I also was banging my head trying to understand how to import photos in an order that I could control. 

I don't use Aperture but had the same problem with Lightroom.  Someone kindly pointed me to a Russell Brown tip on how to get photos into the ipad in order using Lightroom.  There may be something in it that you could duplicate in Aperture but since I have never used Aperture I have no idea if that is possible.

There are problems with image re ordering when moving images to upload to web galleries, to and from Aperture and even the album views.
I tried for hours and gave up with Aperture, I believe it is using original capture data to reorder my images from what I want when editing my project.

No luck with apple tutors. SO try this,

Use the nesting feature and break the sequence that way. I don't know if you can upload nested files into an iPad but it works when I move projects around on my desktop.
