Compass direction in Extended Info

I have the new new Sony Cybershot HX5V which records GPS co-ordinates, altitude and compass setting with each photo.
In iPhoto 09 I pull up extended info for a photo and see the GPS coordinates and the Altitude but I do not see any Compass setting data i.e. which direction the camera was facing when the photo was taken.
Does iPhoto not extract this data off the camera or do I need to change a setting in iPhoto?
Cheers!

These are no GPS options in iPhoto - you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You might try EXIF viewer - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/ - and see what fields are there and their values

Feature Request: 7d Mark II - Add option to show compass direction in viewfinder.

Please add option to show compass direction in the viewfinder display.

That's interesting, I didn't know that they added new information to the viewfinder. I agree, it's a nice addition. That said, I'll still say that any change is unlikely for three reasons:
1) I'm guessing that the overlay is still some sort of LCD type technology, where you can't simply program in new information at will.
2) Even if I'm wrong and it is a customizable display, unless Canon programmed it with the intent of adding variables later it's probably more work than you think to add in a new feature and fully validate the design change.
3) Historically Canon has been very reserved with firmware updates. Usually they're just to fix errors, not add features. The one exception to that are updates to the 1Dx, which Canon seems happy to do. As they should, for a $6700 camera. But plenty of changes (such as the auto-ISO exposure compensation) could easily trickle down to other models. Not to mention allowing reprogramming of rear panel buttons for things like AF mode toggle, or white balance (6D). And they released the 7D2 with the same GPS battery drain issue they seem to refuse to acknowledge. Sorry, I think the chance of putting a compass in the viewfinder is slim. Just my opinion.
Your first 2½ points are valid, along with one you didn't make: Incorporating a compass into the viewfinder introduces a magnetic field in a location where you probably don't want one.
I think your third point is a bit overstated, however. The 7D (and I think also the 5D3) has had a fairly major firmware update during its lifetime that did include an additional feature that I thought was importatnt: the ability to name image files before they leave the camera. Since I have two 7Ds, it's very helpful to be able to see quickly which pictures were taken with which camera. And when I share photo shoots with my wife, it helps me tell my pictures from hers. (She uses a Rebel, which lacks the in-camera naming feature.)
All that aside, the value of an in-camera compass is at best debatable. If you actually need it, you probably want it to be accurate; and unless you never leave your home town, you'd have to recalibrate it often to keep it in sync with true north (or south). I think I'd consider it just another unnecessary distraction.

HT201974 What Key combo is used to see extended info regarding my airport signal?

Can someone tell me the key combinations used to allow me to see extended info regarding my airport signal when I click on airport icon in menubar? things like security key, transmit rate, etc.
I remmeber it being a combination of keys using command button and then left clicking on the aiport icon in the menubar.
Thanks

Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the AirPort icon at the top of the screen.

Compass direction - azimuth

Does anyone know if Oracle has a function to calculate the azimuth (compass direction) between 2 geodetric points. I see that SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE will return the distance, so I would assume there is also a way to determine the direction.
In order to calculate azimuth manually, I would need to calculate the distance manually as well. That seems to defeat the pupose of using spatial.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This functionality is not currently in Spatial. There is hope it will be available in a soon-to-be-released version.

Simple directions to extend airport extreme with airport express?

I can't believe how complicated this has turned out to be. The apple page directions are totally outdated (looks like Tiger) and every online explanation seems to involve older g routers.
I have the latest airport extreme n (not a time capsule) as my main wireless router, and an airport express n which I just bought from apple to extend the wireless signal in my house.
While my Airport Utility shows both routers and allows me to configure them as a bridged or extended wireless network, none of my apple products (ipad, macbook pro, imac, G5 tower) can detect it on wi-fi.
Can anyone give me a simple step-by-step explanation on how to extend my extreme's wireless signal using the express?
Thanks in advance!

+Can anyone give me a simple step-by-step explanation on how to extend my extreme's wireless signal using the express?+
Sure, here you go. You can also reference pages 43-44 in the Apple AirPort Networks Guide.
_On the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)_
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Your Wireless Mode should already be set to “Create a Wireless Network”
Make sure there is a check mark next to “Allow this network to be extended”
Update to save changes
_On the AirPort Express (AX)_
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup.
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode…should be set to “Extend a wireless network”. If you don’t see this choice, hold down the option key when you click on the selection box
Wireless Network Name…..the name of the main AEBS network should appear as a choice. Click to select it.
Put a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security…...exact same setting as your AEBS
Wireless Password…..exact same setting as your AEBS
Click the Base Station tab to assign a name and device password for the AX
Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes if you wish
Update to save settings.
The real trick is to find the right location for the AX. Start with it positioned approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between the AEBS and the area you want to cover. Then experiment by moving the AX closer or further away for the best compromise in signal.
Final point. The ethernet port on on AX is active in this configuration, so if you need to connect an ethernet device, just plug it in.

Where is extended info in iphoto?

in iphoto '09 one could access "extended photo" information for a photo. i do not see this option in iphoto '11...

Therein lies the rub. It's not there. Do as TD suggested and contact Apple.
An alternative action you can do is download and use Simple EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X - Free Download - Tucows ... to view the full EXIF data. Just put the app in the Doc and drag the photos from the open iPhoto window onto it in the Dock. You'll get a window like this:

I installed camera raw 8.5 on CS6 extended. info box told me that it will work only till july. what then?

anyone has an idea? will it be updated automatically to non-beta plugin? or will i have uninstal it and instal previous version?

This is normal. The real 8.5 (or another beta) will have been released by then. The beta/RC usually comes out about a month in advance.
Unfortunately, Adobe hasn't come up with an easy way to go back a version yet, so you're stuck with it.

Access keys: please direct me to info for my help file?

I set up my web pages with access keys for mouseless navigation. I have been given to believe that, on a Mac, one may hold Alt and press an access key to activate the desired function.
(E.g., accesskey="9" for the "Contact us" page is acquired by holding down Alt and then pressing 9).
This seems not to work in Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows, and I can't find a Help file for it, or a thread here. Does anyone have a hint to offer?

Actually, its not a coding error...
ALT+1 opens the first item in the Bookmarks Bar.
I already sent a Bug Report to Apple for them to provide us developers a way to override special keys (F1, F5, Ctrl+P, etc). Easy to do in IE but all the ways I've tried in Safari came up wrong.
Let's wait for the next beta... at least in 3.0.5 this problem remains.
Also, if anyone has a workaround, I would gladly appreciate it.

Is there a way to remove the extended phot info attached to a picture in iphoto?

I imported some pictures into iphoto, and they have extended info attached, like my location. Is there a way to remove it?

Hi Fiona,
Okay, the 4th parameter is the issue.
There are four options:
0 = OK (will not have an 'x')
1 = OK, Cancel (will have an 'x')
2 = Yes, No (will not have an 'x')
3 = Yes, No, Cancel (will have an 'x')
Where you do not include a cancel button (0 or 2) then there wont be an 'x':
However where you do include a cancel button (1 or 3) then there will be an 'x':
There wont be a workaround here (afaik), as the messagebox is driven by the OS, eg is automatically appears different on a Mac verses a Windows machine.
Good luck,
Niall

Maps in E72, compass and map rotation glitches

The new OviMaps 3.03 and E72 with the magnetic compass has a few problems:
- The compass "takes over" map rotation in E72, the map will not rotate according to GPS heading information at all. If the compass does not work (magnet nearby, inside a car etc.), the map will not rotate automatically, it's relying solely on the compass. Very annoying, especially since the compass loses its calibration quite easily. Thus, the map is unsuable in a car or a "spora" (tram).
- When using an external bluetooth GPS, the compass is "whited out", apparently being overridden by the heading data from the GPS. ...which is not shown, the compass wheel simply turns white. This happens as long as a BT GPS is used and is giving speed and heading to the E72. This is a clear bug. Nokia, please solve this.
- There is apparently no way to get the E72 OviMaps 3.03 to rotate according to GPS heading info?
- The tendency to lock the position to a nearby road is much too strong in 3.03. This is very bad, since the map rotation is affected by the orientation of the road onto which the dot is placed, further hampering the direction of map rotation. Since most people will use the OviMaps while walking, this "road locking" tendency needs to be tuned down a lot. It makes the compass &rotation ever less usable.
- The "simplified" user interface of OviMaps is now giving even less GPS information than before. Next it will probably be as useless a an iPhone, when it comes to wanting to know how many satellites it is trying to get a fix on. Believe it or not, this is very useful information to anyone who wants to get a fix in a challenging environment. It's frustrating to watch a single yellow line blinking an not having a clue wheter one is missing one or four satellitse fixes to get a location.
Has anyone else been having these same problems, especially with the rotation? (E72-1 022.007, OviMaps 3.03)
I've played with a huge bunch of different GPS & Mapping devices ever since the NAVSTAR system went public some 20 years ago. It is fun to see how the system is now quickly becoming a household thing in every single pocket, but to keep it genuinely helpful you need to be extra careful with these little features and tunings.
(BTW; I've never gotten the compass to calibrate with the 8-move instructed in the manual. 4 or 5 quick flicks of the wrist are the only way to get the thing calibrated at all)
In many other ways, the OviMaps is a nice and handy application. Thanks.

Hi my fE 72 firmware ver is 024.029, upgraded to 3.03 maps two days back. There are issues and Nokia better not sleep on them other wise this is useless for the users.
The problems in previous and this ver -
- the compass does not lock easily, will remain in yellow or red, do what everr u do?
- As pointed out in by you, in side car or near any electric applices , the compass direction goes heywire.
- sycronisation gets stuck
TYhe new version -
- In old version there was option in the setting to turn the compass on or off , so while driving if the compass is not getting locked, u could turn it off and by default the map would orient itself in the driving direction. now as pointed out by you. the the map compass doesnt get locked or the calibration doesnt stay at speed and the map gets locked with north to top, so there are situation when your poisition in the maps is moving in diametrically opposite/ tangential direction to your travel .
How can a compasny bungle up on such safety and reliability issues, specially on a product ( navigation/maps)which is in existance for almost a DECADE AND IS ABSOLUTELY MATURE PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY WISE.
tHE e72 SOFTWARE WAS DEVELOPED IN SLUMBER SO IS THIS 3.03 MAPS. nOKIA GET OUT OF HYBERNATION, THERE ARE TOO MAY ALTERNATIVES FOR CUSTOMERS NOW.
Nokia either take off this from shelf or be ready to get public lawsuits on accout of accidents caused by people driving with these maps on.

Attributes of page directive?

what is the purpose of the following attributes of page directive
1-extends
2-info
3-session

http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tags/12/syntaxref1210.html#15653
extends="package.class"
The fully qualified name of the superclass of the Java class this JSP page will be compiled to. Use this attribute cautiously, as it can limit the JSP container's ability to provide a specialized superclass that improves the quality of the compiled class.
session="true|false"
Whether the client must join an HTTP session in order to use the JSP page. If the value is true, the session object refers to the current or new session.
If the value is false, you cannot use the session object or a <jsp:useBean> element with scope=session in the JSP page. Either of these usages would cause a translation-time error.
The default value is true
info="text"
A text string that is incorporated verbatim into the compiled JSP page. You can later retrieve the string with the Servlet.getServletInfo() method.

Can I Upgrade Directly to OS 10.4 from OS 9.2.2. on a Power Mac G4 400Mhz?

If not, way is the shortest path? I have 1.12 GB RAM and 4.6GB of HD free space and would also like to run OS 9.2 applications for a short while. Please help. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Nope. Too little hard disk space free.
By the time you are finished installing you'll have only 2.6 GB free and barely enough space to install any applications. But before increasing the hard disk space, verify your firmware is up to date:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
Tells you if you have an AGP PowerMac G4, and if you do, you'll need the firmware off this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
Before you begin, backup your data at least twice. Upgrade your hard drive to a Parallel (not Serial) ATA hard drive of 120 GB to give yourself more room. Western Digital and Seagate are the most reliable brands.
Then you can install the Mac OS 9 drivers on that hard drive from the retail 10.4 installer disk using these directions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
Then install Mac OS 9 on it.
Then finally install 10.4 on it. If you don't have a DVD drive on your PowerMac G4, you'll need to get one to be able to install Tiger unless you are lucky to find someone who has the CD version of Tiger which no longer is sold by Apple.
Tell us if you have an AGP PowerMac G4, and we can tell you of an alternative.

Geo info not showing in places

I'm unable to get the gps info to show up in iphoto's places on my macbook. It works fine on my imac..
both computers have the most current iphoto (iphoto 09) and the same pictures (the gps info is there.. it shows latitude and longitude under extended info)
so, why does gps info show up correctly only on the imac and not the macbook? (nothing shows in places and nothing shows when i click the i in the corner) Is there a preference setting I need to set on the macbook that I'm missing?
thanks

so I dont understand why nothing shows up in places
Have you set iPhoto to look up Places automatically in the Preferences?
when i click the i in the corner
That panel contains no Places information.
Regards
TD

IPhone 6, 6 photo direction 180 deg error

I have an iPhone 6+ and my wife has an iPhone 6. On both phones, when using the built in camera app, the direction of the photo as reported in the metadata is 180 deg off. For example, if I take a photo in the facing North the metadata is decoded as South by Lightroom. A photo taken facing West is reported as East by Lightroom. This error is present in both landscape and portrait orientation.
If I take a photo with my old iPhone 5S (currently used as an iPod) the compass direction as reported in Lightroom is correct.
Anyone else seeing this problem?

Update....It appears the problem started with iOS 8. My images taken on my iPhone 5s after installing iOS 8 are also 180 deg out. Those taken with iOS 7x are correct.
I have reported this via feedback for the iPhone.

How do I email my photos to instructor so extended information can be viewed. He says they need to be in jpeg file. When I test copy to myself I cant get this information.

How do I email my photos from iphoto to my instructor so the extended information can be accessible. I have tried emailing from share and included titles and descriptions but when I test it to me I can not access the extended info. Also how can I email more than one photo in one email. These photos are for a class and have not been altered by iphoto. Thanks

Select a photo and export it to the desktop (file menu == export) and in the finder select it and show info - is the info you want there (it is for me) - If it is Then attach that photo to an e-mail sand send it - if the info does no arrive then g-mail is the issue
BTW You can use Apple mail and configure it to use G-Mail as its server
