When transferring from Mac to Ipad/Iphone all of the photos transferred as the date I did it, rather than in date order of photo taken.

Kerry Lewandowski 11 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 2
I have multiple photo albums on my Mac that I would love to transfer using Photo Transfer App to my Iphone and Ipad.

However when I do so they all transfer as the date I did the transfer, rather than the date order originally taken.

I also had all of the photos named individually and they are only coming up with the original 'IMG' number.

Can you help?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us, Kerry.

Did you happen to modify those photos in any other app or any other source that might have changed the "exif" data? Did you take your photos with your iPhone / iPad?

I would like to suggest that you please try this:

1) Open Photo Transfer App on your iDevice
2) Go to 'Send' > 'Device' > 'Select photos & videos'
3) Find the photo you transferred and then long press over it. This should bring the photo in full screen. Then press on the 'info' button on the top right corner.
4) Check that the date of the photo is correct.

The photo metadata should be preserved. On the 'Photos' tab they are organized by time so the photos will be arranged according to the 'exif' date which should correspond to the date the photo was taken.

Also there is a related topic to this as well: https://getsatisfaction.com/photo_tra...

Are you experiencing the same issues? Even after attempting the above?

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have other questions.

Best,

Hi Kerry,

One extra note to this. If you are on iOS7 then if you transfer a photo that say you took in February 2013 (regardless of the name) then the photo will appear in the right place under the 'Photos' tab (Moments/Collections/Years) when you drill down to February, however, it will appear as the LAST photo in the Camera Roll because the Camera roll is sorted on the order the photos were saved not on the date the photo was taken.

Also, as Amber mentioned it, it is very important to make sure that the photos were not modified by a program that removes the EXIF headers as to not loosing the date information of the photo.

Let us know if you have other questions or comments.

Best regards,

Enrique
