Setting EXIF:GPSLatitude and EXIF:GPSLongitude from a PlugIn

The new LR4 mapping faclity is great, but I'd like to map the locations on my existing photos (over 20,000)..
All my photos already have city/country information set as Keywords, and I am able to separately convert these locations to GPS coordinates via the Google Maps API. (I have a standalone program to do this and dump the results to a CSV file.)
What I can't work out is how to add this GPS information to the Adobe Metadata. I could possibly try this outside Lightroom using EXIFTool or equivalent, but it should be possible to do it through the SDK.
My current Plug in loads the GPS data, and then for each photo in the collection tries:
photo:setRawMetadata(GPS,LatandLongString)
This gets an assert failed message - presumably because GPS is not a valid Key. LatandLongString is has the latitude with cardinal point (N/S) followed by the longitude with cardinal point (E/W) separated by a space. (I also tried setting GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude separately).
Any ideas on the correct way to do this?
(Incidentally, what is the correct way to get a collection by keyword? My current code is:
local thisKeyword = catalog:createKeyword( "Location1: " .. Location1, {}, true, nil)
local photos = thisKeyword:getPhotos()
but this also causes an error when trying to access the resulting photo array)
Thanks in advance.

John,
thanks - I also got a similar answer from Jeffrey Friedl, and this works correctly. I didn't see this in the documentation but maybe my web search didn't show up the latest version of the manual.
With respect to the getting collection by keyword, I abandoned using the thisKeyword:getPhotos() construct. Instead, I searched the catalog by keyword:
local photos = catalog:findPhotos {
searchDesc = {
criteria = "keywords",
operation = "all",
value = "Location1: " .. Location1,
Thanks,
Glyn

I updated to ios7 and got the set up asst and selected restore from back up.... can't get itunes to do the restore as it wants me to turn off find my iphone, but I can't access anything on my iphone to turn off as I am in ios set up assistant

I updated my iphone 4 to ios7.04 in itunes. In itunes, it appears that all my data/apps/music/etc are on the phone (but I cannot see anything on phone itself except setup screens). I am getting the ios7 setup screen on my iphone. I have selected my language, selected my wifi netowork, enabled location services, and chosen resore from itunes back up. Next screen I get says to connec to itunes, which I did. In itunes, I select restore from backup. I then get a message that I need to disable "find my iphone " "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone." I cannot go to any settings on my iphone as I cannot get past the connect to iturnes screen! I have also tried not enabling location services and that made no difference. I cannot get to anyplace on my iphone except the ios setup first few screens. I am going crazy, there must be some simple thing I have missed! Any help appreciated!

I found a way to get to my data. So do not need remedy at this time.
fwiw, I changed my ios7.04 setup answer of restore from itunes to new iphone. Eventually that allowed me to set up icloud, then turn off find iphone, restore. Very strange ios update.

Corrupted EXIF data in photos exported from Lightroom CC

After upgrading to Lightroom CC EXIF can't be read by some apps. "Re-saving" a file in Photoshop fixes the problem. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.5. Are there any plans to update and fix the EXIF data generated when exported from Lightroom CC?
Also, this command fixes the issue with Create Date part of EXIF.
#!/bin/sh
exiftool -AllDates="$(exiftool ${1} | grep 'Create Date' | awk '{print $(NF-1), $NF }')" -overwrite_original ${1}
The reason I'm asking is because we run a site where "Create Date" read from JPG's EXIF is crucial and it's a matter of letting users upload the pic or deny uploading.
So again, any plans on the fix?
Regards,
Pawel Kadysz

I confirmed that the Exiftool command line:
exiftool -m -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe file.jpg
removes the ICC Profile, which could account for significant color differences, considering that the profile is Adobe RGB. I think this may be a bug in Exiftool, so I filed a bug report. (But it might be that Exiftool just can't handle the non-standard layout of LR's JPEGs.) The author is typically very responsive.
I tried some alternate Exiftool command lines that touch as little metadata as possible, and this one seems to address both of LR 6's JPEG problems:
exiftool -m '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal' -xmp-crs:all= file.jpg
The -m option ignores minor errors and issues, in particular, when there are more than 1000 entries in the XMP metadata.
The '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal' option sets the EXIF Date Time Original Field with its current value; this tricks Exiftool into rewriting just the EXIF metadata without touching the other metadata segments (e.g. the ICC profile), addressing the first JPEG problem. (You could use any EXIF field that's present -- I picked DateTimeOriginal since every camera adds that.)
The -xmp-crs:all= option option deletes all of LR's develop settings from the XMP metadata, addressing the second JPEG problem.That metadata is not ready by any programs other than LR, as far as I know.
I've tested this new command line on a couple of pics, including the example you provided above, and it appears to work correctly. But given that we're dealing with buggy output from LR that doesn't conform to the de facto and de jure standards, it's hard to have high confidence without testing on dozens if not hundreds of pics.

Is there a plugin available to manage IPTC and EXIF-data within PSE7

And why does PSE7 not supp
ort this anyway?

When you import a photo into your catalog, the Organizer will also import tags, dates/times, captions, notes, star ratings, and GPS locations from the photo's EXIF metadata (including the IPTC and XMP sections of the EXIF). You can then edit that information in the Organizer and write it back to photos using File > Write Keyword Tag. You can view almost all of the EXIF fields of a Photo in the Properties window of the Organizer.
In the Editor, you can view the EXIF metadata with the File > File Info command, and you can edit a few of the fields (but not most of them). PSE 7 supports "custom info panels", scripts that you can add that will let you edit EXIF metadata. This is an undocumented feature inherited from full Photoshop, but you can get hints about it here:

Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.

Maintaining EXIF data when transferring pictures from XP to iPhoto?

Good afternoon everyone! Hope I can get some help here...
is there any way to maintain the EXIF data added from a computer using Windows XP. This is when you right click on a photo and go to properties->summary tab (i.e. keywords and comments) while importing into iPhoto? A client of mine spent hours upon hours adding comments like location, description, etc. to each photo and it would essentially be a nightmare re-doing all of that.
Even an add-on or separate program would be fine. In the event that iPhoto does not work nicely with this, any recommendations for future use on the Apple platform would be appreciated. Thanks fellas!

You are confusing EXIF - the data about the photo from your camera - with ITPC data - iPhoto pays attention to both IF they are present in the proper fields - the key to transferring EXIF and ITPC data from one computer to a Mac using iPhoto is to have the data properly embedded in the photo of the source computer - if it is then iPhoto will use it on import
see http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/glossary/f/metadata.htm for more information on EXIF, TITPD and XMP
Also download EXIF viewer for the Mac - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/index.html - to view the EXIF data before iPhoto gets it

Images resized and exif stripped when emailed ?

Does any know why the iPhone resizes images (to 640x480) and strips out EXIF data when you email a photo. However, if you download the photos you get the full size and EXIF data ?
As i often like to email photos direct to Flickr from my iphone it is very annoying to end up with a poorer image than what i should have.

Hello All,
Great news for the Apple iPhone.
Just downloaded 2.1 software update, and the Geotagging correctly geotags the southern hemisphere, now adds a GPS Time-Stamp as well as the GPS longitude & latitude info to the EXIF.
AND, when you e-mail it or transmit the image to a secure server, mobleme, Flickr . . . ALLL OF THE EXIF DATA STAYS INTACT, INCLUDING THE GPS METATAGS . . .
AND THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 1200 X 1600 TO 600 X 800 . . .

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

Please help!
It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):
http://www.unwireddevicelink.com/features/
https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
and Apple's system:
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.

tabBar.backgroundColor =[UIColor blackColor];
UITabBarItem *search =[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemSearch tag:0];
UITabBarItem *recents =[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemRecents tag:1];
UITabBarItem *favorites =[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemFavorit es tag:2];

UITabBarController *tabBarControl = [[[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
tabBarControl.title = @"Tab bar";
ViewControl1 *view1 = [[[ViewControl1 alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewControl1" bundle:nil] autorelease];
ViewControl1 *view2 = [[[ViewControl1 alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewControl2" bundle:nil] autorelease];
