Geotagged iPhone Images lose location data when exported?

Gudday fellow iPhone warriors, here's my vexing issue:
This morning I used the Flickr and Panoramio iPhone Apps to upload some geotagged images from my Camera Roll and synced iPhoto Events (yes, I can confirm that all my images are tagged, and they show up in Places on iOS4).
When these geotagged images arrive at Flickr and Panoramio, they contain no location data.
Is this location metadata stripped from the images as they are exported from the iPhone? If so, who can I make the suggestion to, to leave the location data intact when I export images from the iPhone?
Cheers, and thanks in advance for your words of wisdom ;O).

Thanks for the prompt response!
Did a little extra research, got some more information:
- yep, the Flickr iPhone App is busted (per the App Store user reviews)
- yep, the Panoramio App is busted (per the App Store user reviews)
- my metadata permissions for both Flickr & Panoramio are good to go
- pics emailed to Flickr from iPhone *lose their geotag* data
- pics emailed to Panoramio from iPhone *lose their geotag* data
- pics emailed from MacBook Pro Mail as small, medium, large *lose geotag* data
- pics emailed from MacBook Pro Mail as actual size retain their geotag data
- pics emailed from iPhone Mail lose their geotag data
So, looks like iPhone email app is one of the culprits, and the Flickr and Panoramio Upload Apps need to be updated to take advantage of the new capabilities in iOS4 to use image EXIF metadata.
I'm going to try another test tonight:
- upload an image from the iPhone to the iPhone DropBox App
- check the metadata of that image from DropBox on my MacBook Pro
Can you think of anything else??
I was quite shocked to see that Apple Mail strips the metadata of images that are resized for emailing...

Geotagged iPhone Images lose exif location data

Geotagged iPhone Images lose exif location data when emailed or IM'ed to an email address.
I would like to have the option of sending this data (even if not by default) to the recipient.
This feature seems to work on android and I am receiving this data in my inbox from an Android phone. The last thing I want to tell my customers is that the system I am building for them is only compatible with the Android because of this bug.
Product roadmap information or workarounds are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response.
There are some other apps that allow for exporting Geo Data to SMS (one example is called "GeoDataToSms" iirc). I'm subtly disappointed that third party apps would be the only solution here. I can build an app, but its adding complexity that I would rather not be worried about.
I want my audience to send an email or SMS to an email account. That simple. The emails are then collected and the information from the message (images, exif data) is recorded in a database. When an admin visits the site they can see each image in a map and act on it. Stupid simple right?
I think being able to email full blown photos is good enough for this round. But I think the expectation for most users (that even know geo data exists) is that geo data will be sent no matter the chosen image size. The same imo is true for SMS. I just have to limit the expectations when my users are on an iPhone. I can build an app that handles geolocation data in round twelve. And just let my iPhone audience know that their devices' cool features are limited by the software that powers them.

Missing location data when exporting to Flickr

I am running Yosemite on a new MacBook Pro using the latest version of iPhoto. I noticed that the location data (Places) which I painfully added in to each photo does not translate over when I export to Flickr. Everything else translates with no issues. I use the Share function directly from iPhoto application, not using a 3rd party app. I've use this method of export/sharing for years and location data has not been an issue before.

Hi Sumit
Try to set the URL field with the RTF format. To do this try following:
1. Right click the field->Format Field.
2. Click the paragraph tab->Text Interpretation->RTF Text
Now try to export it.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto '08 loses exif data when exporting RAW to JPG

I'm using a Canon 40D shooting only RAW. I just recently noticed that when I export to JPG, iPhoto loses quite a bit of important EXIF data, including, aperture info.
Is this a known issue, or is it something unique to my system?

I guess I misworded it. I understand that the info doesn't go away or come back. Either there's a problem in both Finder and flickr (I've uploaded the file to flickr.com) where neither finds the info in the jpeg or there's a problem in the way iPhoto writes the EXIF data to the file.
Today, I downloaded EXIFViewer for an alternate look at the EXIF fields and the aperture data is there according to EXIFViewer. So, now I think the bug may be with flickr. Can't really call it a bug in Finder, since the expected functionality for finder is not to get "aperture info", but "More info."
In any case, these are the fields in the More Info:
|RAW:Name_|_RAW:Value_|_JPEG:Name_|_JPEG:Value|
|Dimensions|2586x3892|Dimensions|2586x3892|
|Device make|Canon|Device make|Canon|
|Color space|RGB|Color space|RGB|
|Profile name|Adobe RGB (1998)|Profile name|Generic RGB Profile|
|Focal Length|44|Focal Length|44|
|Alpha channel|0|Alpha channel|0|
|Red eye|0|Red eye|0|
|FNumber|4|
|Exposure|1/60|Exposure|1/60|
|Last opened|Monday, May 19, 2008 6:31 PM|Last opened|Today, 9:31am|
And the meta info on flickr is here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carloscervantes/2536040124/meta/
Again, no aperture data in either flickr or Finder.

When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal. Was 5.0.1. update to 5.1 but no changes

When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal. iOS was 5.0.1, update to 5.1 but no changes.
Battery problem, anntena or motherboard? pleas help.

it could be a motherboard problem. Last month I spilled liquid on to my iphone and since I didn't have warranty for it I had to take it to a "phone doctor". He fixed it but mentioned that motherboard is working fine but he can not say for sure for how long it will last, and that I may experience some wierd problems. I'm having this exact problem the day I got my iphone back.
Well no longer but the solution still seems wierd. I turned on the "location services" because I saw in the "system services" screen that "cell network search" was turned on. I figured if I don't screw with location services, it would be okay. So, after three hours, I terminated the sleep in 10-20-30 minutes and 1 hour intervals, it seems I no longer have the problem but I'm going to sleep over it to be sure. Also make sure to turn on the "auto" option on the "carrier" menu.
I will post the outcome if I don't forget about this page.

How to get location data when uploading from DSLR?

I have read that you can't add or edit location data when files are added to Photos in the new Yosemite version. But does the location still get added when you upload via a wireless connection like on the iPad?
If not, is there a workaround?I have ended up with thousands of photos on the iMac with no location data as a result of the upgrade. I don't want to make the problem worse.
Any help or advice appreciated.

I'm not exacting sure what the difference between tagging and geotagging is. I do know that at present on my ipad (and I haven't upgraded it from IOS7 yet), if I import my DSLR photos to the ipad, when in a wifi environment, it adds the location to the photos where they were uploaded. Without wifi, no location gets added. I actually haven't figured out a way to add location data to the photos using the ipad, is there a way? I have always been advised before to use my mac to do that, which is no longer possible in Yosemite as far as I can tell.

Will I lose my data when I update to ios 7?

Will I lose my data when I update to ios 7 on my ipad2? If so, what data and what should I do?

Nothing should be lost... However...

Missing data when exporting webi to excel (not 65536 limit problem)

Hi guys
I just meet a problem about webi that it will miss data when exporting webi to excel.
It's not about 65536 limitation, as my webi report do some aggregration and limitation and never beyond that limitation.
Also there are 2 tabs in my reports, if I split the 2 tabs into 2 separate reports and export them separately, then problem disappeared.
Any ideas on this?

Hello Claes
according to:

Tools => Import and Export => Specifying the Sequence of the External Data Structure => External File Structure: Specification
Table EST07 should be part of export file. I am not sure if the packing requirement ist part of EST07.
Furthermore wirh ECC 6.0 EnhPAck3 some changes happend generally in the area of DG classification.
E.g. Dynamic dangerous goods classification. I am not sure if these changes are "included" in some sense in the EH&S data download.
With best regards

HT4539 My 3g iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with itunes, put icloud for ipad and iphone but didnt allow to sync with computor as not very techy!Thought if messed up it wouldnt effect computor! Now Phone not responding to icloud to collect da

My iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with my computor.
I have an pad with most info on, but not keen to sync with that incase that data gets lost!
I joined icloud but cannot retreive from there as its not accepting my icloud account! Help!
If I sync phone with ipad is it likely to work safely to retrieve info as both are apple devices?.

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Where can I give feedback regarding Aperture? I'd love to see the ability to removes EXIF data when exporting, especially to social networks.

Robert,
For any normal Export, simply cilick the list of option and further click on Edit. There deselect to include Metadata, and there will be no EXIF data exported. But no copyright info either.
The option already exists to do what you want. Once a normal Export has deselected that, I believe even exports via plugin for say FB will not have it either. I tested with an export to SmugMug after deselecting in an earlier ordinary export, and EXIF info was not transmitted.

Exif data when exporting images

Hi, I have question about Aperture writing its signature in the exif data when i export pictures to websites like Flickr, in the past i used DPP, and it always shoved "digital photo professional" under more properties, just this is missing all the rest is there.
Is there a way i can get Aperture to get that pice of information in there......?
Jess Thorsen

There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.

Inaccurate GPS data when exporting from iPhoto

I'm trying to export geotagged photos from iPhoto, and I'm experience some odd behavior.
1) When I tag the photos outside of iPhoto, the photos' geo information comes up correctly in Places, but when I try to export the photo (either drag to desktop or File > Export > File Export and set +Kind: Current+ ) I get the correct latitude but the longitude is on the other side of the world according to Preview. (My best guess, I'd say about 180° off.) If I export the same photo but set +Kind: JPEG+ the location info in Preview looks fine.
2) I see similar behavior when I try to export a photo I geotag within iPhoto. If I drag-export or File > Export with +Kind: Current+ (as above), the exported file has no geo info, but if I export with +Kind: JPEG+ it's fine.
I'm trying to geotag photos for a friend and then send the pics back to him, but I don't want to re-compress them. Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Seems like iPhoto may not be well suited for working on other people's photos since it requires an import/add followed by an export. iPhoto isn't really build for this sort of thing.
Instead you might try something like Graphic Converter. You can browse your folders (no importing necessary) and Geocode photos by using Google Earth to locate the positions. GC will then apply that current Earth location to any selected photos with a menu item. This writes the data directly to the photos so no need to export either and it doesn't effect the photos in any way by re-compressing or otherwise processing the photos themselves.
Best of luck,
Patrick

Missing data when exporting to "MS Word (*.doc)" and "RTF (*.rtf)"

Hello,
We are using CR XI R2 SP3 in our product. The reports that we generate (using ODBC dsn) show URLs from the database as hyper link text fields. When we export the report to "Microsoft Word (.doc)" or "Rich Text Format (.rtf)" format, even though the export operation succeeds, the report is missing data when it encounters a URL that looks like following. There is basically no data after that URL.
http://www.xyz.com/kType=t;s.linkName=n;s.t()};s.ssl=(s.wd.location.protocol.toLowerCa
And when it encounters a URL like following, MS Word complains that the file is invalid even though the export succeeds.
https://www.xyz.com/m));if(m%3E0&m!=e)if(parseInt(c.substring(m+1,e%3C0?c.length:e))%3Cd.get
If we export the report to pdf format, then everything works just fine.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sumit
Try to set the URL field with the RTF format. To do this try following:
1. Right click the field->Format Field.
2. Click the paragraph tab->Text Interpretation->RTF Text
Now try to export it.
Hope this helps.

IPhone Randomly Loses Wifi & Data Capabilities, Must Restart to Fix

So I've had my iPhone 5c for the better half of the year, but all of a sudden the past two or so weeks it has been randomly losing most of its functionalities, and restarting it is the only way I can find to fix it, which can be really annoying.
Here's a little more detail of what happens:
I will be connected to the WiFi at my home, when all of a sudden I cannot load anything involving internet (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or even sending iMessages). Despite the fact that the same WiFi network can be working fine on my Macbook, game consoles, and even other peoples' iPhones at the same time, I always try turning off the WiFi after assuming my WiFi was just down.. Even after completely disabling the WiFi on my phone and trying to use my data (while having 3-5 bars), I cannot load anything or send iMessages still. I've tried resetting my router despite everything indicating that the problem is beyond my WiFi.
And the strangest thing is that it only happens when I'm at my house, even though the problem does not seem to be my WiFi (since after restarting, my phone relies on the WiFi fine).
I would take this to an Apple store but I'm positive I'm going to get the "Reset your iPhone back to factory defaults and lose all your data" answer, which is not the one I'm looking for.

I am experiencing the same issue on my iPhone 5S. Ever since around when iOS 8.0 was released I've intermittently seen this issue occur at random times. With mine, it can happen at any time (regardless of the wifi or even LTE network). Data and phone functions will just completely stop working even though the phone shows no indication. The only way I find out it stops working is when I receive no data when trying to use several different apps which require network.
The only work-around I've found is to reboot the phone. I've messed with all network-related settings attempting to remedy the problem prior to rebooting but nothing seems to do the trick. I've tried resetting all network settings which has not resolved the problem. My last resort was several days ago when I did a complete factory reset and re-install of the ipsw of iOS 8.1.2 from iTunes.
Seems there's either some sort of software bug or hardware bug occurring here. I'm currently using Verizon, and I have a friend with an iPhone 5S on Sprint with the exact same symptoms. Looks like I'll be paying a visit to the Apple Store to see what is happening. In the meantime I've submitted feedback to Apple and I've installed the baseband profile to try and catch the event logs if/when the error occurs again to submit to Apple as well.
My suspicion is something happened with iOS 8 compatibility and perhaps something on my phone or the services I use is creating a software bug which temporarily kills the radios.

SSRS 2008 R2 - Missing Data when Exporting to Excel or CSV (Row Count is 500)

Hey Folks,
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. Any suggestions on why this is occurring. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Inherited this and not sure if this would be configuration issues or something else. It is happening on a number of reports.
Thanks.

Hi Humbly,
According to your description, when you export report into CSV or Excel format, some rows are missing.
In your scenario, since you are missing data “rows” in your exported file, we are guessing if you have any visibility setting like toggle which hide those records. It’s possible that you have set toggle or visibility in your report. After exporting
Excel/CSV, some data might not appear properly. In SSRS 2008 R2, it has reported this kind of issue about data missing after exporting. However, those scenarios are not exactly same as your issue. It mostly turns out be conflict between data and “layout render”
and related to DataElementOutput property. DataElementOutput property controls export behavior, it indicates which report item data should appear in Excel/CSV render. For more information, please refer to this article: Reporting Services:
Why aren’t all my report columns exporting to CSV and/or XML?.
As we tested in our environment(SSRS 2008 R2), no matter what we export into CSV or Excel, we get same results as in BIDS . So I would like to know your report design structure. If possible, please provide some screenshots about results in BIDS and Excel/CSV
render extension results. It may help us find out the root cause of your issue. Thank you.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu
