Is it possible to remove or edit gps data from photos?

Just listened to a Mac Roundtable podcast and they were talking about removing or editing gps data from photos taken with an iPhone but they never explained how to do it.
Is it possible to remove or edit out latitude and longitude info from photo files?

Thanks for this, though after looking at it I'm not too inclined to use an app that requires getting into the terminal. Way too technical for me. But thanks.

  • Want to Strip GPS Data from Photos

    Does anyone know an easy way to get iWeb to strip the GPS data out of photos being published as part of the Web pages? The box in the iPhoto preferences to include location data in published images is unchecked, but this only seems to affect MobileMe galleries, not iWeb.
    Steve

    Sorry, I should clarify. I am dealing with my daughter's pages, and don't use iWeb that much myself. I realize the PNG images on the regular pages don't have this issue. The issue is if there is a photo page and sharing is allowed so visitors can download an image, the downloaded JPG file has the GPS coordinates in the Exif data. We would like to allow sharing, but get rid of the GPS Exif data without undue hassle (exporting and re-importing images, etc. etc.)

  • Removing all the hidden data from photos

    If I export a photo to share, I often want to remove all the extra hidden stored data such as date taken exposures etc. Is this easy?
    Rod

    Hi rod,
    By accident I found that a little app I use (ImageWell) to add connotations and text to my screenshots also strips most if not all the EXIF data from an image that you drag out of the Image well.
    I just checked it out again. I dragged an image into the well, changed the name of the image and dragged it out. The EXIF data was gone when I opened it with Preview and did Tools/Get info.

  • Why can't I import gps data from iPhone photos in aperture 3

    I have an iPhone 4 (it's already an old model!) and why can't i still not import GPS-data from photo's on my iPhone 4 in Aperture...
    Importing photos from the iphone just goes fine...

    Richie:
    But do you see the GPS of the iPhone data in Meta data section of the Inspector (set to a preset that shows GPS), as Frank Caggiano asked?
    If the images do import the EXIF data, then you should be able to lift and stamp the GPS coordinates. I do that freuently.
    Select on of your iPhone images and lift the sata
    In the lift&stamp HUD deselect everything but the GPS coordinates, like this.
    If no GPS-coordinates do appear in this setting, then your iPhone images do not have the EXIF info required, and you may need to check the iPhone settings.
    If you see the EXIF data, then you just need to select the DSLR images that were taken at the same location and you can stamp the EXIF data to the DSLR images.
    And after that you should be able to see their locations in the Places view.

  • Is it possible to remove an action log entry from a ticket?

    Hello.
    Is it possible to remove an actoin log entry from a ticket.  We may run into a situation when confidential data has been pasted into the action log.
    Thank you,
    Richard

    Yes, but not through the UI. the easiest way to do this would be with
    SMLets.
    Import-Module SMLets
    $IRClass = Get-scsmclass Workitem.Incident$
    $SRClass = Get-SCSMClass Workitem.ServiceRequest$
    $ActLogRelationshipClass = get-scsmrelationshipclass System.WorkItem.TroubleTicketHasActionLog
    $IR = Get-SCSMObject -Class $IRClass -Filter "Name -eq 'IR21'"
    $ActionLogs = Get-SCSMRelatedObject -SMObject $IR -Relationship $ActLogRelationshipClass
    Foreach ($ActionLog in $ActionLogs) {
    if ( $ActionLog.Description -match "TEST") {
    Remove-SCSMObject $ActionLog -Force -WhatIf
    It should be noted that this will not remove the action log form the data warehouse. there isn't a supported method to edit data in the DW, so you're kinda on your own if you need to remove this data from the historical records

    I've changed my credit card details on my Apple ID but it doesn't reflect onto my phone when I login after restarting the phone. Even if i sign out.
    When it reaches the part where I would need to verify my phone after entering my password. It just keeps requesting for my password and never shows me anything.

  • Is it possible to remove the Last Import selection in Photo Albums?

    I've got a first gen iPhone on 2.0 and was wondering if it's possible to remove Last Import from the Photo Albums screen. I've checked for options in iPhone's Settings and in iPhoto's Preferences but haven't found anything useful.
    Suggestions? Thanks.

    HI,
    you will  able to disable the group tree icon panel when the crystal report opened. to do this,follow the steps mentioned below.
    1. Go to your BO installation folder and then tomcat folder and then choose the CrystalReports web application.
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CrystalReports
    Now change the web.xml of the this web app and insert a context parameter
    <!-- Added to remove group tree panel shown as default -->
    <context-param>
    <param-name>viewrpt.groupTreeHide</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
    </context-param>
    Restart your tomcat, or restart crystal report web app from tomcat manager.
    you can remove or add or disable the group tree icon as per your requirement.
    Let me know if this works,
    Regards,

  • How to export ALL my GPS data with photos?

    Hi,
    I hope you can help me save a lot of time.
    For various reasons I have abandoned Aperture 3 in favour of Lightroom 5, and as part of the process (severl months ago) I exported all my 30,000 photos out of my aperture library along with sidecar files so that I would be able to keep my metadata. All but a few gopro phots are geotagged, however I have now discovered that for 14,000 of these images no GPS data was included in the sidecar file.
    As far as I have been able to research I have two options. First to re-build the library by re-exporting the files, merge this with my current Lightroom library and hope I don't get any duplicates. Or, secondly, re-tag the 14,000 photos manually or from the GPX files I still have hanging around.
    What I really would like to know is if there is a 3rd option?
    What would be nice is a way to export only the GPS data and time stamps for all 30,000 and then use that as a track in Lightroom...is that possible?
    Thanks for any help

    I'm not aware of a way to do that from Aperture but it should be possible to script that ability.
    Just run through all the images and have the script output the EXIF data you want. Not to difficult if you have any  Applescript experience. If not I'm afraid you will need to resort to your other options.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 not importing GPS data from xmp file

    PSE 10 is not importing GPS information from the xmp file. Lightroom correctly records the
    GPS data but this info in not brought in when I add the photo to the PSE 10 catalog.  Has anyone experienced
    the same problem?

    The Google map module and geotagging have only just been added to LR4, released this week. There is no longer a map feature in Elements since Adobe dropped the earlier tie-up with Yahoo. Adobe reserves the right to change and amend partner services and this has disappointed many users of previous versions of PSE. It’s possible that the map could be re-introduced into future versions of PSE but don’t count on it and given the significant price cut on LR4, the decision could be strategic.
     

  • Importing GPS data from Garmin Virb Clip into Premiere CS6

    I have been trying to add a clip that I recorded on my Garmin Virb Elite into a sequence on Premiere. I have tried adding the GPS overlay to the clip in Virb Edit (Garmin's video editing software), exporting it as an mp4 and then importing it into Premiere. Unfortunately whenever I include the clip into my timeline, the GPS overlay has disappeared (speedometer, altimeter etc.). Is there any way getting it to work in Premiere (CS6), because the Virb Edit is not a very good programme for editing on.
    Edit: I should add that when I watch back the exported clip in vlc, the GPS data shows on the video, but as soon as I put it in the time line in premiere, it disappears

  • LR5 Not exporting GPS Data from CR2 to Jpeg

    Hi
    I have CR2 file from a 1Dx imported into LR5 and I am having issues exporting the GPS data to a Jpeg from the  CR2 file.  I have unchecked remove location info in the export dialogue box
    Has anyone else got this problem?

    I've quickly tried exporting an animated Camera from AE here and the keyframes are coming through to the Cinema camera.  The original AE keyframe curves will not be preserved,  but the transform results will be "baked" on every frame of the exported Cinema camera.  This is current limitation and expected.  Is this what you are seeing?
    The CineWare camera Merge button assumes there is a current selected AE camera used by CineWare.  If CineWare is currently set to use a Cinema camera, then the button is greyed out.   If you go to CineWare "Project Settings" and choose one of the Comp camera options (instead of a C4D camera), then the Merge button will be available.
    Hope that helps,

  • Reading bluetooth GPS data from a Nokia phone

    I have a problem reading data from a MTK bluetooth GPS device from a Nokia phone (7610, Symbian S60).
    I wrote a midlet (my phone supports CLDC 1.0/MIDP 2.0) that create a thread to read data
    from the device (using RFCOMM protocol), the code is:
    package gpsreader.bluetooth;
    import javax.microedition.io.*;

    after reading some data (usually one NMEA string) read method returns -1,
    and even if I try to close the connection and re-open it, after some other data is read,
    the midlet is terminated by the phone with an error (something like "jes-13c-java-comms@1441adE32USER-CBase 40").
    The GPS receiver is working, since from my PC I am able to connect with a bluetooth USB dongle and read outputs using RFCOMM.
    Thx for any suggestions,
    LB.

    Work around.
    I can not say I solved it, but I managed to get a work around:
    I read in another post that there are some problems in thread handling on Nokia phones, so I rewrote the class so that it runs on the main thread and now it seems to work (I can not update the screen while reading from the device, but this isn't a big issue for me).
    Just in case anyone is interested here is the final code:

    Now I call method readInput in the main thread and than use getBtstr to retrieve data.
    I'm still interested to know if someone had similar problems and how they have been solved.

  • How can I remove all Time Machine data from an external HD, while retaining the other folders/files on the disk?

    I recently replaced my old Macbook Pro with a new Macbook Pro Retina.
    The original MBP had Time Machine set up on an external HD, and I also had some manually saved/backed up files (stuff that didn't need incremental backups; very old stuff) on the disk as well, in folders.  This worked fine and well for the life of the original MBP.
    When I set up the MBPr, I did not elect to transfer everything over from a Time Machine disk, as I wanted a Fresh Install; I chose to just re-download/install the apps  I needed from the App Store.  Much cleaner, more stable.  I updated to Yosemite immediately so, it gave me more of a  clean install.
    The problem is, Time Machine now won't read any Time Machine backups from that disk.  Migration assistant can pull data from it, but it's a bit wonky.  It was easier to just manually copy over what I needed.
    Now, I just want to "reset", and completely remove the old Time Machine data from the external hard drive, since it is completely useless to me now (I can't access it on this computer, and it's taking up space).  I want to remove the Time Machine data, as if it were never there, but keep my other folders/files that are on the disk (so, a format is not feasible).
    I will then set the disk up as a new, fresh Time Machine disk for the new MBPr. 
    What is the proper method for removing Time Machine data from an external disk (which doesn't seem to be associated with this machine anyway)?  I know a simple rm -rf will cause problems.
    Thanks for any help provided.
