Add location in photos

Hi,
In the new photos app on Mac OS X, how do I add or edit the location the photos were taken in? I have a bunch with no location and some with the incorrect location. The photos app doesn't seem to provide anything to do this, which seems like a terrible oversight.
Thanks,
Mike

    iPhoto allowed me to add location to photos taken by camera with no GPS.  Photos doesn't have this facility. Is there any way to do this?

    From http://geotag.modesittsoftware.com/Photo_GeoTag/FAQs.html
    1. Does Photo GeoTag work with iPhoto and Photos?
    iPhoto and Photos store their image files in various undocumented locations, and they seem to store the image metadata in separate locations.  If you edit an image in one of their sub-folders, iPhoto or Photos may not know about the change.  Instead export the image from iPhoto or Photos, geotag it, and then import it back into iPhoto or Photos to see the geotagged location.  In the future Apple may provide a means of accessing the image files directly, but for now you must geotag the photo before importing it, or if the photo is already in iPhoto or Photos, export, geotag, and then import.
    So it would seem that it isn't much better than using iPhoto 9.6.1 to do the geotagging, exporting the original from that app, & importing it into Photos.

  • How do I add locations to photos through iPhoto on iPad?

    Hi There,
    I have tried searching through the forums to find an answer to this but can't seem to find it, but apologies if I've just completely missed this and it has been covered!
    My understanding is that when you want to add a location to a photo through iPhoto you need to select the 'Info' option and then just type in the location, but when I select Info there is no option to add a location, it just gives you basic information and then gives you the opportunity to comment on it. Am I just misunderstanding how you are meant to add locations or am I clicking on the wrong option?
    Thanks
    Sean

    I believe you can add location information through iPhoto '11 on the Mac, but not using iPhoto for iOS.  In other words, the iPhone/iPad version of iPhoto will display map data if it is associated with a photo already, but you cannot add that map data to photos in iPhoto for iOS.
    If you want to have map data associated with photos on your iPad, you have to add the location information to the photos using the desktop version of iPhoto, then import those photos to your iPad.

  • How do I set locations in Photos?

    How do I add locations to photos I import from a camera that does not have GPS?  This was very easy to do in iPhoto, but I cannot find it anywhere in Photos.

    Cannot from within Photos app, from what I have read around this Forum.
    I was surprised by this also. I am hoping this feature will be added in.
    Exporting and adding Location and Import back is not something I'm about to bother with for thousands of scanned  pictures.
    Does not make sense that one of the features of searching by location is neutered.

  • How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

  • Photos on Mac Yosemite, how can I add location to pictures taken with my Canon camera? Thx

    I want to add location to pictures taken with an "independent" camera, Canon, as I used to in iPhoto.
    Is this possible ?

    That's correct - Photos supports geotagging, but only allows viewing of that information. Once an image is in Photos, geotags cannot be added, deleted, or edited. This post suggests some apps for editing geotags outside of the Photos app. As you mentioned, you can edit the geotags in iPhoto, export to the finder and then import to Photos. I would guess (and hope!) we'll see this added in an update, and hopefully soon!

  • New Photos app on Mac: how to add location data?

    The recent OSX upgrade migrated my photo library from iPhoto to Photos. On iPhoto i had carefully added location data to all my photos, which is still accessible. But how do I add location data to new downloaded photos? I am talking about from a camera with no GPS facility. I have queried this on the Help menu but it is not clear. Anyone help?

    I am talking about from a camera with no GPS facility.
    Photos can use GPS data, if the photos have them, but it does not support to add locations to your photos.
    I hope, the next update will add this necessary feature.
    Send feedback with a feature request:   Apple - Photos - Feedback
    For the time being, you have to add GPS coordinates to the photos before importing them to Photos.
    You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
    Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
    See:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
    To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
    Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, houdahGeo, there are many more ..
    I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
    If you updated iPhpto to version 9.6.1 before the update, you can still use iPhoto.
    Just drag it back to the Dock from the Applications folder.
    If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

  • Photos - How to add location?

    Is there a way to add location information to your photos, you know the feature that iPhoto/Aperture both had, in the new Photos app? I realize now with the moments it has become the most important information. I hope there is!

    No at this time - tell Apple you need this

  • Change Location in Photos

    How can I change / add the location of photos in new "Photos" - everything migrated across but some are now showing wrong data and some have lost details altogether

    This is unbelievable. What a step down from iPhoto. What genius thought this up?
    The old iPhoto map tool was fantastic and only occasionally wrong. I took some pictures in Princeton By The Sea, California (at Pillar Point) and iPhoto put them on the Sacramento River Wildlife Refuge a couple hundred miles away. Now I've got the bad into in Photos with no way to edit it.
    I also miss the map view where I could see all the places where we took photos.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

  • Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

    Hi,
    I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
    I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
    Cheers,

    The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
    The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
    Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

  • I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

    I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

    In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

  • I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

    I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
    The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
    Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

    By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
    Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
    Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
    Click on Choose Library.
    Locate and select the library you wish to use.
    Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
    For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.
