Auto-Analyzer adds GPS location of 0 degrees/0 degrees

Another reason not to run the Auto-Analyzer: For files not having EXIF GPS locations, it will add a longitude/latitude of 0 degrees/0 degrees. This wll only show up after you've done File > Write Keyword Tag, or after you add a keyword tag and then invoke the full Editor.

No one else seems to have experienced this problem ? I am the person who wrote to Mr Ellis, at first about the PSE problem with appended tags and then about bad geotagging. I am not happy with PSE8 and what it seems to have done to the metadata in the ORIGINAL photos.I was so annoyed with PSE8 that on Friday I deleted the catalog I and started to uninstall the program. But, problem 1 - can anyone find the Deactivate button - it's not in my help menu ?
Anyway to follow on from John's comment. Yesterday, I took 60 new photos, I geocoded them ALL using a GPX track file loaded in Geosetter. In all of my viewers the photo location was shown correctly. In PSE8 Auto analyzer was OFF. After adding some keywords and using File/Write Keyword tag only 20 of the 60 photos remained correctly geocoded.
The end result of my experiment is, after File/Write Keyword :
(i) photos which weren't already geotagged are shown as 0,0 in PSE8's map (e.g. my bathroom project was done somewhere near the African coast !)
(ii) Only 20 of the 60 that were already tagged showed correctly in PSE8's map and in the other viewing software I have.
(iii) The other 40 also show correctly in the PSE8 map and in Geosetter.
(iv) The other 40 do NOT show correctly in Nikonview NX, Opanda IEXIF,Robogeo,XnView and Rawtherapee. In all of these the EXIF metadata field for longitude is incorrect with a blank in the LongitudeRef field or just missing. In the Catalog I deleted on Friday, PSE8 ( I think it is PSE8 ?) has made these unwanted changes to many of the original pictures in the My Pictures folder (10,000 odd photos) and I am not happy !
Today, I tried one other thing. In PSE8 I relocated one of the 40 photos to "London" and did a File/ Write Keyword. This photo now worked in all of the viewers. I then looked more closely at the XMP and EXIF for the defective photos and discovered that the XMP lines for GPS data were "adjacent" in the correctly geotagged photos, but mixed up for the bad ones. So, I guess something (PSE8 ?) is writing incorrect XMP or EXIF or XMP and EXIF fields back to what were good photos ?
I tried this experiment again by writing IPTC location data into a photo using Geosetter/ www.Geonames. After saving, the the Geotagged data showed correctly !
I can't see any reason why it targetted 40 and not all of the 60 photos.
So, I don't think it is to do with Autoanalyzer. Does anyone have any ideas ? Does anyone from Adobe's PSE people read this ?
Now the annoyed bit - Deleted !
I would like to thank John Ellis for his help. But, he doesn't work for the company that made the software I bought, ADOBE do.
When can we expect v2 of PSE8, then I might have another go !

Is there a way to add GPS location after importing to Photos?

I would like to add GPS location data to photos I take with my DLSR. In the past I was able to copy location data from a photo taken on my iPhone I take and copy it to all my DLSR photos.
Can this be done in Photos?

I actually bought Greenfinder and vCaddy (Golf GPS apps both in app store) and did extensive testing yesterday. You can see my full review here.

Bottom line - Could be a great alternative to a SkyCaddy or similar device

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.

Undoing auto analyzer damage: screwed up metadata

I am annoyed at the Adobe auto-analyzer for touching all my JPG photos and re-setting the file's time stamp, among other possible changes (adding GPS coordinates, maybe other changes). I am trying to neatly undo that unwelcome change. Ideally, I wouldn't have to abandon my catalog, where I've invested hours over many years labelling and grouping photos (version sets) in Elements 4. So here's what I tried, which didn't work. I am hoping someone has a suggestion. I hope I am providing enough detail, as this is a bit confusing.
I keep a backup of all my photos on another computer. I simply map a network drive from the backup PC to the work PC. Periodically, I use Microsoft's SyncToy to copy all files from work PC to backup PC. Today, wtihout any Adobe software running, I copied some images back from the backup PC to the work PC using Windows Explorer. The time stamp in windows now shows the original image time, e.g., 2002. In the organizer, photos show Date Created=2010 and Date Modified=2002.
For photos taken with an old (year ~2000) camera, which didn't use EXIF, the dates appear correct until the file is opened in the editor. When I close the file without changing it or saving it, the Date Modified is set to 2010, and it jumps to the bottom of the organizer (which I keep sorted by date). And to add insult to injury, the filesystem timestamp gets updated to 2010. What do you know, the image now has GPS coordinates (0,0) too.
OK, so now I test with images that include EXIF data. In the organizer, photos show Date Created=2010 and Date Modified=2004. If I open in the editor and close without changing them, the Date Modified gets updated to 2010 and Windows time stamp gets 2010.
So as far as I can tell, opening an image for viewing in the editor has the same affect as running it through the auto-analyzer. I am in the habit of opening images in the editor to play with lighting, etc., and then discarding changes. I don't want timestamps updated when I do this. I am certain autoanalyzer is off in preferences both in the organizer and editor.
Because of all my time invested, I want to make lemonaid of the lemons and keep using the organizer, despite my disagreements with its design. Aside from undoing today's attempted restore, and giving in to the auto-analyzer behavior, do I have any options?
Thanks.

You’re the victim of multiple PSE bugs. Besides the Auto-Analyzer mess: Whenever you invoke the Editor, it does the equivalent of File > Write Keyword Tag and then rereads all the photo’s metadata from photo back into the catalog. There is a bug that prevents PSE from writing the metadata (e.g. the date) into older photos, so when you invoke the Editor, incorrect date information will get read back into the catalog.
Here’s how to recover from the Auto-Analyzer mess:
1.    Turn off the auto-analyzer in Edit > Preferences > Auto-Analyzer Options.
2.    Remove all the Smart Tags assigned to your photos: Select all you photos, right-click and click Remove Keyword Tag > tag for each smart tag.
3.    Remove all the GPS locations of 0,0 assigned to some of your keyword tags by the Auto-Analyzer: For each tag, right-click it and click Show On Map. If its location is 0,0, then right-click the tag and select Remove From Map.
4.    Remove all the GPS locations of 0,0 assigned to your by images by the Auto-Analyzer:
a.    Window > Show Map
b.    Scroll the map until the equator is showing.
c.    Scroll to Africa.
d.    There will be a red pin at 0,0.
e.    Zoom in on the pin until only the ocean is showing around it.
f.    Click Limit Search To Map Area.
g.    Edit > Select All.
h.    Right-click the photos and click Remove From Map.
5.    Get the metadata in your catalog (date/times, keyword tags, GPS locations, etc.) correctly written into your photos, including your very old photos that PSE trips over: Download the utility psedbtool:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
and run it on your catalog with the -writeMetadata option:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Writing_File_Metadata
This will add EXIF metadata to your old photos that currently don’t have it.
6.    Delete all the ._00_* files created by the Auto-Analyzer and littering your folders: In Windows Explorer, search all your picture folders for filenames containing “ ._00_” and delete them.
7.    Going forward, if you continue to use Map View to assign GPS/map locations to photos, PSE will write invalid GPS locations into your photos. There is nothing you can do to stop that – you can only correct it using psedbtool.
A final note: Don’t worry about the Date Created and Date Modified time stamps on your files – they are assigned by Windows when files are created, copied, and modified, and they are mostly out of your control (and PSE’s). What matters is the date/time the photo was taken, which is recorded in the photo’s EXIF metadata.

GPS Location is not shown in Ovi Share

I upload photos with my Nokia N78 to share.ovi and for some I am sure, that they contain the GPS location. But share.ovi does not show it and I have to add it manually.
It hasn´t worked for any photos, that I have uploaded, yet, although I turned on the GPS Info in the N78 camera settings and if i go to image details, I see the GPS infos.

4.3.3 is the complete basic tool suite. What you downloaded was a .dmg file...double click on that to open and mount. If it's an installer, run it. If it's Xcode the application, drag it into your /Applications folder and run it from there. Unmount the .dmg when done.
You can then download components such as debugging support for another version iOS and documents.
I would suggest you start with the latest tools. You'll go blind trying to straddle fossilized tools and SDKs and anything you learn will be at high risk of being obsolete to get into the store and support things today. Don't put yourself behind the curve at the beginning. Don't be afraid to use Storyboards.

Aperture cannot add GPS data to multiple images at the same time

I am new to Aperture and have been using it for a week or so now. Today I tried to add GPS data to a number of images and found out, it appears Aperture can only add GPS data to one image at the time. When I select multiple images to add the GPS data to, it just doesn't do anything. It leaves the GPS data blank.
Here is what I do:
From the Info-tab I select "GPS" from the drop down menu
At the bottom of the info tab I show the map
In the map's search box I enter the location I want to assign to the photo(s)
From the resulting drop down menu I select the locatiion I want and press the "assign to location" button
As long as I choose only a single image, this works fine and the GPS Data is added. Not so when I select more than a single image. After pressing the "assign to location" button it seems as if the GPS data is added (there is no message indicating otherwise), but the GPS data in the selected images is blank.
What am I doing wrong ?
Additional info
I have been testing this a bit more and the behavior is even more strange: When you select multiple images in Aperture, they get a thin white border, except the one that you touch last (normally the last image of the selection) that will have a thicker border around it. It appears that, when selecting multiple images, the GPS data is ONLY assigned to the photo in the selected setthat has the thicker border (?????)
Message was edited by: dinky2

Rereading your post, I think the problem is, that you are assigning the location from the Info panel and not from the Metadata menu. The Info panel and the Metadata menu ar behaving differently.
The Info panel will always only affect the primary selection, but the Metadata menu will work on all selected images (unless "Primary only" is checked). So , if you want to assign your location to multiple images, use "Metadata > Assign location" instead of the little map in the "Info" panel.
Or use the "Places" view. Then you can drag all images at once to the same pin on the map.

How to add GPS to an ipad2 with only wifi

How to add GPS to wifi only iPad

From another discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/20077221#20077221
"Location services depend on a database of Wi-Fi access points with known geographical positions. If the device is not within range of at least one of those access points, it can't be located." - Linc Davis
So if your iPad is near a WiFi access point with a known geographical position, you already have reasonable GPS-based location knowledge on your iPad.

FYI when installing Premiere Elements - auto analyzer

Please ignore if this is old news...
Just noticed something. I am running PSE8 and turned off the auto analyzer due to it slowing my system to a halt. I recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and noticed my system ran extremely slow after that. I opened up my task manager and found the analyzer running. Looks like Premiere restarted the analyzer.
Jason

Interesting, and dangerous. I recommend that everyone keep the Auto-Analyzer turned off. Not only can the Auto-Analyzer hog your computer, it will corrupt your map locations, split your video clips into "scene groups" that are hard to get rid of, modify the date/time of every file, crash frequently,and litter your folders with temporary files:

Personal Hotspot GPS Location Services ?

So I've set up a Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 for my new wifi iPad. The wifi iPad does not have it's own gps receiver. From my understanding the wifi iPad gets it's approximate location by looking up from a database of wifi locations that it is currently receiveing. I guess this wifi database is assmebled by Apple or Google or some such. I'm assuming that since the Personal Hotspot is mobile that there is no database location for the iPad to see in this case. But, the iPhone has it's true GPS location updated realtime.
1. So does the iPhone Personal Hotspot somehow communicate it's GPS location to the iPad realtime for the Location Services of the iPad? If not - then why not?
2. Is this something Apple can add in a future OS update?
3. Or, can an App be developed for this?
It would be a shame to have the Personal Hotspot GPS location known realtime by the phone but not communicated to the iPad or other devices.

I have sense read that some third party portable hotspot devices do send gps data.
Out of curiosity, my (admittedly quick and cursory) Google searching couldn't find such claims about either the iPhone or other portable hotspots. Do you have any links?
Edit: My bad. I just didn't know what to search for.
I see things like this that support what you're saying:

Premiere Elements 4 auto analyze off

Help. I tried to install Premiere Elements 9 on my old Vista machine and got the dreaded error 1935 CE3230AC-E72E-3EDF-8A57-87FCE1CF2629 HRESULT: 0x80071A30. Searching for help, I came to the conclusion that it is a registry cash screwed up and reinstalling Vista is really the only way. So I went back, reinstalled Premiere Elements 4 and came here for help with: Auto Analyze, scene detect seems to be on and I can't turn it off??? Capturing video from DV leaves me with 100 files instead of the 1 I want. Impossible to find help/support for PE4. Anyone know now to turn this make many files on capture off????

Hello Steve
I have attached a couple screen shots. Let me know if you have any trouble seeing, I can always post them to another location.
You say
You can launch the Elements Organizer from the Premiere Elements Welcome screen when you first start the program.
I have attached the welcome screen where I see no way to launch Ele organizer. What am I missing? The top menu items are all unaccessable.
You say
The option to break scenes by content is on the the Capture screen, which opens when you select the DV Capture option under the Get Media button under the Premiere Elements Edit tab.
I can find no such option except one grayed out under clip back at the project screen. Again I have attached a couple screen shots to show you what I see.
There must be something obvious that I am missing or that is different about my APE4 instance.
Happy Sunday

In order to turn off the background Auto Analyzer, you need to be in the Elements Organizer program. Not Premiere Elements. You can launch the Elements Organizer from the Premiere Elements Welcome screen when you first start the program.
The option to break scenes by content is on the the Capture screen, which opens when you select the DV Capture option under the Get Media button under the Premiere Elements Edit tab. This will only affect how the program performs with freshly captured DV video, of course.

Love the Bundle (PSE8/PE8), but I HATE THE AUTO-ANALYZER

Hello everyone;
I'm a big fan of the Adobe Bundel's (PSE & PE), I have been using them for over 3 years now, I started with PSE4/PE2, then PSE6/PE4 and now PSE8/PE8. I'm also a very avid user of the Organizer Yes I do, Call me Crazy, but I do like it. To be honest I cannot complain.
But, Dear Lord in the Heaven; What was Adobe thinking when they release this version with that THING called "Auto-Analyzer", it just create such a mess that is incredible. I wonder how the &*^%$ they tested this "Alien Thing", I think I now the answer for that one; They used Just Folder with only one photo.
Yes I did turn On the the "Auto-Destructive-Analyzer", and just imagine what this Virus did with over 15,000 pictures and 100's of video clips. So, after I recover from the SHOCK of this "Auto-Destructive-Analyzer", I turn it OFF and Untagged all those "Smart Tags".
Please ADOBE create a FIX to UNINSTALL/DESTROY/DELETE the "Auto-Analyzer" from the Organizer so nobdy will be able to turn it on by mistake.
The Bundle (PSE8/PE8) so far; I like it, But PLEASE, take my ADVICE DO NOT TURN ON THIS "THING".
Regards.

Hi administrator,
Thank you for your question, sorry to see you go. However, to turn autofucus off you can change this in the about:config page.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# browser.autofocus to false/
Thank you.

How do I change the photo GPS location from DMS to D.ddd

I get GPS location as part of the information along with a photo. It shows in Degrees Minutes and seconds. Is there a way to make it record as Degrees and fractional degree?

Thanks. Is sadness, like many other aspects of Apple "can't do it" attitude. Prevent rather than enable.

Starting Auto-Analyzer.....

When I run Auto-Analyzer in Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion), I see the dialog "Starting Auto-Analyzer....." but nothing's happening. I've waited and waited but Auto-Analyzer never starts.

Start up a Premiere Elements project using the project settings for a 1080p DSLR.
There are components in the program that aren't downloaded and installed until you first use them.
That may work. But it's hard to say. That camcorder is neither a true DSLR nor a true AVCHD cam.
In fact, if, when you add a clip to your timeline, the program offers to change the project settings, let it. It will make its best guess which codec your video is using.
Unfortunately, a number of these pocket cams create their own proprietary MOV codecs so that they can store their video on very small hard drives -- so they may or may not behave as they should in Premiere Elements.

Can I add a location manually to a picture?

On iPhoto you could add manually a location to any pictures or events if the pictures didn't have any GPS information, but I can't find this feature on the new app. Thank you for your help or suggestions.

No, sorry. That is not yet supported in Photos.
Add the locations in iPhoto, and then import the geotagged files to Photos.

How can I add gps information into my pictures?
I understand Photos doens't have this feature.
Só how could I do it with an external application. Is it possible? Can I even use iPhoto with the same library (since they share stuff) to do it?

Photos does not support to add location information yet.
Add the GPS before you import the photos to Photos. I hope this will change with the next release.
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, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
