DedupeHow to Rearrange Photos in an iPad Photo Album?
Last Updated :
If you need to rearrange the pictures in one of your iPad's photo albums, you can quickly do so by dragging them to new locations. If you've synced the photos from iTunes, you'll have to move the photos to a new album on the iPad before you can rearrange them.
- Open the iPad Photos app.
- Select the album that you want to rearrange. Tap the Albums tab at the bottom of the screen to see all your albums.
- Move photos synced from iTunes into a new album. If the album you want to arrange was synced from iTunes, you will need to move the photos to a new album first. Photos synced from iTunes cannot be rearranged until they are moved to a new album.
- Open the album synced from iTunes and tap "Select".
- Tap each of the pictures that you want to move.
- Tap "Add To" in the upper-left corner.
- Select "New Album" and give the album a name.
- Open the new album. - Tap the "Select" button in the upper-right corner. This button appears after selecting an album.
- Touch and hold the picture you want to move. It will become slightly larger when it is active.
- If the "Copy/Hide" menu appears when you press and hold an image, it means you forgot to press "Select" first.
- If nothing appears when you press and hold an image, and you can't drag it, then those pictures were synced from iTunes and will need to be moved to a new album first. - Drag the picture to its new location. As you drag the picture around, you'll notice that the other pictures shift as you move over them. Drag the picture until it's in the location you want it in.
- You'll have more success rearranging your images if you drag the picture "through" other images instead of "around" them. - Release the image to set it in its new spot. If it snaps back to it's original location, it means you choose an invalid spot, such as after the last picture.
- Repeat for each image you want to rearrange.
- Tap "Done" in the upper-right corner when you're finished rearranging.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
