Change or add location information to a photo

It seems impossible to add or change location information in Foto's.
In iphoto this option was available , but seems to be removed in foto's.
does anyone know how to attack this?
Will Apple add this function again, since not all good camera's have GPS ?

Your web site could be configured to ask permission of the site visitor for using their location... but there is no method to pass that information to your FormsCentral form. So even if they allow Mobile Safari access to location services in the privacy settings, they could still say "No" when your site asks for that info.
A *potential* solution is to ask them to upload a photo of their current surroundings, and then you would be able to grab the geo location data off of the photo... *if* they allow the iPad camera to have access to location services. The problem with this as a solution is that if they have not enabled it, you would be getting photos with no exact info attached, and if they are allowing it, it's still a disconnected bit of data that you will have to somehow collect and attach to their submitted info.
You might ask, instead, for something like the zip code of their current location. Not extremely precise, but perhaps close enough for your purposes?
I hope that helps,
Brian

  • Is there a way to have iPhoto add location information to the original file

    Is there a way to have iPhoto add manually assigned location information to the original file? After adding location information to about 20,000 of my 35,000 picture library, I generated a new library because of problems with faces. That fixed the faces problem but I was quite disappointed to see that the locations were absent. From what I can see, you can only do this by exporting the files (file - edit) and having the option checked to include the location information. Of course, if you select to have the original files exported (as opposed to creating 35,000 new jpegs), you do not have the option to include location information. Even if you did have that option, it would be a silly way to do it. Am I missing something?

    No exporting is the only way - I believe that HoudahGeo - http://www.houdah.com/houdahGeo/ - will add them to the originals in iPhoto - check it out

  • Editing location information on multiple photos

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is an easy way to add location info to multiple pics at once? I don't have a GPS enabled camera so I took a pic with my iPhoto in each place I visited on my honeymoon so I could apply that data to the photos to all the pics I took with my camera, cunning plan huh? But alas it doesn't seem to help as I have to edit the location data individually, as far as I can tell anyway, anyone know different?....
    Thanks

    Easy
    TO set the location for an entire event click on the"i" in the lower right hand corner of the event and set the location - it will be applied to all photos in the event
    To set the location for a selected set of photos select the photo(s) and right click (control click) on one and use the get info command to open the places window - select the location and it will be applied to all selected photos

  • Photos app - Change or add location

    I recently migrated from iPhoto to Photos after installing OS X 10.10.3
    From time to time I come across old family pics, scan then and addd to my library. On many of these I know the location and want to add that to the photo information. I was able to do that with iPhoto, but don't know how to do that with the new Photos app.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no way. You need to do it with some other app before importing.

  • How and why did iOS7 obtain geographic location information on my photos?

    I have always kept location services turned off for the iPhone camera.  Now, after the iOS7 update, all my photos on my iPad and some on my iPhone are organized into collections by year and include specific geographic location.  That's information that I expressly didn't want collected and which should not have been embedded in the photos.  What is the point of turning off location services if Apple will let it track/record that information anyway in the camera/photos app, if not others?

  • How do I change a bad location in the new photos app for Mac?

    I am not sure why but hundreds of my photos have the wrong location stored for them. Is there any easy way to change them in the new Photos app for mac?
    Thanks

    You can't at the present time.  There's no such capability in the current version of Photos.
    Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html  since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

  • Add location to non-iPhone photos

    Has this feature been discontinued?
    The location of a photo taken with an iPhone or iPad is still shown in the info section of a photo- although I haven't figured out how to rename the location, but if you select a photo taken with a SLR type camera, I can't find how to add a location to the photo like one could with iPhoto.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You got me pretty excited that the feature was still there, just hidden, but it doesn't actually geotag the location of the photo. 
    From what I can see with the steps you describe, it allows one to adjust a time to a nearest city- in my case, Houston.  Beyond that, there is no location for the picture. If you go back to the photo's info and double click the time, it goes back to Chicago (Central Time) and won't even hold on to Houston, not that the time is wrong in either case.
    Thanks for trying.  Still hoping.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Add gps information to photo using Photos

    With the latest Photos App, I didn't find a way to manually add GPS information to a Photo.  I am talking about Photos APP on OS X Yosemite.  Not iPhoto.

    Sorry, but the Photos.app does not (yet) support this feature.
    Use iPhoto, or any other app that you have. I make sure, that all photos have GPS tags before I import them to Photos.
    Send feedback to Apple with a feature request.   Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    For the time being, use iPhoto for the geotagging and import the tagged photos to Photos.
    If you are comfortable with the Terminal use the free exiftool:

  • Correct location information not exporting from iPhoto

    Hi,
    I have painstakingly updated location information on several events in my iPhoto library.  I now want to give copies of these events/photos to a friend, so he can add them to his iPhoto library (with the updated location information).
    When I exported the event, I selected "Location information" in the dialogue box that comes up (in order to include the location information with the exported photos).  However when I then import these photos to my friend's iPhoto library, the old/unupdated location information for all photos shows up.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated!
    Brian

    Hi Terence,
    Thanks for your response.  I have successfully updated/changed the location of many photos in an event (and these changes are saved).  However, my problem is that when I export these photos/event, the old location information shows up in the newly exported photos (i.e. when I put them into a different library on a different mac).
    I have also tried creating a new library to refresh the cache, but that did not work either.
    Any other thoughts?  Regards,
    Brian

  • HT204655 How can I add gps information into my pictures?

    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.

  • Will firefox send out my location information to twitter without my permission to firefox

    Location information was incorrectly turned on with my Twitter account. I am having issues with a Twitter staffer who is harassing me.
    Does Firefox send my location information out to Twitter without asking me first. Even if location added is turned on at my Twitter account?
    I have turned off add location information a my Twitter account. But does Firefox send out location information without first asking me to Ok it?

    Please give a step by step process on how to change the default back to Google... Why has Mozilla hidden away all the settings... I think its time to move to Chrome.. Firefox is becoming more and more like Explorer... Changing interfaces and dictating how it should be used

  • How do I export an album from the iPhone Photos app in a form that retains location information so I can import it to ArcMap or Google Earth?

    I have an iPhone 4S with OS 5.1 installed and I have taken several hundred photos that are geotagged and that show up in the Places page in the Photos app. These were taken for field work and have data in them that we want to use to tie information in the photos to locations in a GIS application. Therefore I would like to be able to export the mapped locations along with the photos in a way that would allow me to upload the locations to ArcMap or to Google Earth. I know that the individual photos have location information but the process of uploading them to Panoramio one at a time is labor-intensive, whereas I can take an entire album in the Photos application and quickly display locations tied to photos on the screen.
    Also these photos were taken before I enabled iCloud on my iPhone and I'm wondering how to upload them even though they were taken previously. When I go into the "share" menu my only options are email, tweet, message, and print. I'd like to send the whole album to iCloud so I can at least bring it back into applications on my Macbook Pro.
    Does anyone have a recommendation as to how I can go about doing either of these things?

    This is something that I want to do as well. I'm new to applescript, but I found this script:
    http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/tips/tipprint/index.php
    Go to about half way down the page. The script works well, but I'd like to change it so that I only export Versions w/ a specified "main rating" (or greater than a minimum rating)
    If you look at the script, there's a line:
    "set theimages to every image version as list"
    FYI: "image version" is an Aperture class that represents an image version. "main rating" is a property of "image version"
    Is there a way to modify this applescript statement to spec only those "image versions" that meet a min "main rating"? I tried a bunch of things, and none of them compiled. (I need to learn Applescript)
    If not, then how could this be done w/ a little loop in Applescript?
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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?

    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.
