GPS EXIF data removed when photos are synced to iPhone?

I have manually added GPS EXIF metadata to photos that were taken by an old camera.
After I synced these photos with iTunes for Win 11.3 to my iPhone all location data was gone.
Is this a known issue?
Your help is much appreciated!

Nobody knows the answer? Yours was the third question like this I found by searching, yet none have been answered. I get the same results using Picasa. Once the photos are synced back to the iPhone, orientation is lost. Friends looking at the pictures on my iPhone have to keep rotating the device, cocking their head, or both. Some advanced device, that is!

IPhoto for iOS removes the GPS exif data from the photo after an edit

iPhoto for iOS removes the GPS exif data from the photo after an edit
Using the iPhone camera, I take a photo and then I want to make the photo a little brighter.
So, I edit a photo using iPhoto for iOS and then save the photo back to the camera roll.
Now, I might want to see where that photo was taken via another app (like Photo Mapo) or on the map using the Photos app, or even the Mac iPhoto app.
However, the GPS data has been removed. Looks like all of the other exif data is still in the photo.
Why not just have a feature to remove the GPS data if the user wants? no reason to remove it for them.
The user explictily chose to have location services turned on so the GPS data would be in the photo.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Brian.

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
None of my cameras has a GPS function so I never see that data in the info of a photo in iPhoto for iOS. But I do see the map choice to set a location for the photo. Perhaps a reboot will fix this for you.

Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
Please help.

They are scaled down.

GPS EXIF data corrupted for photos taken in portrait orientation

With photos taken in portrait orientation, the GPS data is corrupted for the photos in the modified folder, specifically, the longitude is changed from -83.435516 to 83.435516. Doesn't happen with all photos taken in portrait orientation, and I haven't seen it with any photos taken in landscape orientation and modified. I understand that iPhoto rotates portrait photos and places them in the modified folder when importing. When I look at the originals with Preview, their GPS data is OK, but the photos in the modified folder have incorrect information. Looking at the GPS data from within iPhoto doesn't show a problem, but that's probably because it doesn't refresh the EXIF data.
Anyway, is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix?
I'm concerned because I've spent all this time geocoding these photos, and now I don't know which ones have the correct data, and which ones are messed up.

Larry,
I'll try that, just to be safe. I played with it some more and now I can't reproduce the problem even with auto-rotate on. So, maybe it was fixed with 7.1.4 and I'm still having problems because the photos were imported in a previous version. The release notes only say "addresses minor issues." Hard to tell what that's supposed to mean.
Thanks!
Karen

Playing (in shuffle mode) unchecked albums when checked are synced to Iphon

I have my IPhone synced to my Itunes Library but have way to many song than can fit on the Iphone in my library. So i manage them by checking and unchecking them whenever i want to change whats on my IPhone. However, When I am Listening to my Itunes Library in Album Shuffle Mode, It doesn't play the unchecked song/albums...Can i configure my itunes to play unchecked music?? or Can have a saved checked list to appy when i plug in the Iphone. Is there really any way not to have to check and uncheck hundreds of songs in order to listen to them but not overload the Iphone?

I suggest creating an iTunes playlist or multiple playlists to be transferred to your iPhone.
Place the songs in the playlist or playlists in iTunes. With a playlist selected in the iTunes source list, the number of songs and the storage space the songs take up is indicated at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences, choose selected playlists. Select the playlist or playlists in the window below followed by a sync.
If you want to add additional music to your iPhone, add the music to the playlist or playlists selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync. To remove music from your iPhone, remove/delete the music from the playlist or playlists selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

Ipad 2 - there is not enough memory available message in itunes when photo are sync. Help !

Hi there,
When i sync my Ipad 2 with Itunes , as soon as it gets to the 5th step ( sync Photos ) it says that there is not enough memory available.
Even if it has half of the memory available.
Help !
Thank You

Charammmmmm ! FOUND IT ( more or less ) !
After i created a folder inside another folder with all the photos it finally synced perfectly !
The main Folder is on my desktop and i have inside it another folder with every 171 Photos.
But this isn´t normal someone should fix this permanently because i added 3 more photos and there it
was again " not enough memory..bla..bla...bla"
Thank you very much for your help anyway.
Cheers everybody !

EXIF data filtered when exporting to Flickr

I've noticed that some EXIF data seems to be filtered out when exporting photos to Flickr via Aperture's built-in Flick exporter.
For example, if I export same photo using Flickr's upload page, then using Aperture's built-in Flickr exporter, then re-download original back to my computer, the fields like "lens size" are missing from the copy exported by Aperture.
There's few other fields that are silently filtered out by Aperture. Looking at the differences between two copies of the same photo re-downloaded back from Flickr, examples include fields such as digital zoom, subject distance, focus mode, macro mode, firmware version, serial number, owner name (and the list goes on)...
While one could argue that some fields contain personal information, there's my real name on my Flickr account, so having serial number or owner name in EXIF data removed is kind of pointless for my use case. Also, there's tons of photos I exported in the past to various photo sharing sites containing these headers anyhow.
I'd really like to preserve some interesting and useful (technical) fields such as lens size or subject distance. Is there a way to tell Aperture "I don't care, the world already knows this stuff, don't filter EXIF info when exporting"?

Hi Raja,
Not sure, what version are you in, but must not be in latest.
You have to write a e-text to get csv/txt of the desired format.
By default, if you are not in latest version, you will see some data when you select csv without E-text template

HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved? I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel. I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes. I have reset my photo stream. Not sure what else to try... I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa. Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not. Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

I can't see the photo tab when trying to sync my iphone from itunes

For some reason, all the tabs are not showing on itunes when trying to sync my iphone. The 'photos' tab in particular is missing. It shows I can scroll to the right to possibly see the rest of the tabs, but when I scroll across to the right, it moves the whole page across, but nothing from itunes moves across with the page. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I hope you can help.

Sorry, it's probably really easy to do, but I'm not sure how to change it. I have a Mac book. Can you help? It's strange that it seems to be the only tab missing, and only when I connect my iphone to sync, it doesn't happen when I sync my ipod. It's weird, and it never used to disappear. I need the photo tab back
Sorry, and thanks to anyone that can help

Use iPhone as designed. Like any digital camera, download your photos to your computer and delete from the iPhone to create space required for iOS upgrade.

Photos are corrupted on iphone.

i recently replaced my iphone. restore seems to have gone smoothly except that my photo folders are corrupted. the camera roll and photo stream folders seem ok; all others behave as follows: i open the folder, select a thumbnail, and the photo that is opened is not the one in the thumbnail. this happens with all of the photos.

If these photos are in your iPhone's Photo Library, they were transferred from your computer, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Try deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by a sync which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and make your selections below followed by a sync to re-transfer the photos to your iPhone.
If no change after this, the next step is targeting what is called the iPod Photo Cache for these photos on your computer.
