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?

Hi,
Either turn Off iCloud on all the devices or restrict what it sync in System Preferences > iCloud (Or Internet Accounts)

    Hi Matt - the following extract from iMovie Help should get you back on track:
    From iMovie '11 Help ( http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3b0fbc0a )
    To pin background music to video
    In the Project browser, move the pointer along the upper-left edge of the background music well until it turns into a hand, and then drag the top-left corner of the background music well slowly to the right. A pin icon appears in the corner of the background music well, and the background color changes from green to purple.
    Continue dragging the pin until it’s positioned above the video frame where you want the music to begin playing.The background music well turns to purple, indicating it’s been pinned to a video frame.
    After you pin music to a video frame, unless you “unpin” it, the music stays with that frame even if you rearrange the order of your video clips.
    To unpin background music
    If you’ve pinned background music to a video frame and now you want to rearrange the background music clips in your movie, you can unpin it.
    In the Project browser, click to select the background music well (it becomes outlined in yellow), and then choose Clip > Unpin Music Track.
    The Clip menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
    Here's an alternative method for adding music to your video (which I use in preference to the back ground method) -
    Rather than dragging the music to the grey background area, drag it directly on top of a video clip, close to where you want it to start. When you drop the music, a narrow green strip (bar/track) will appear below the video thumbnails. You can slide this back and forth in order to get it to start in the exact position. You can also drag the ends in to shorten or trim the music track. Or drag them out again to lengthen the track. You can also split the audio and show the audio waveforms, adjust volume within a track and so forth. Check iMovie Help for more details.

  • Since Malwarebytes could not resolve how and why did this problem crop up in TB?

    This partial "Enter your password for [email protected] on pop.att.yahoo.com" appears very frequently when accessing TB or Write.. I have and can provide a screen shot of this window appearing in Thunderbird. Hopefully this can be resolved.

    Since this small window kept appearing very frequently when I accessed Thunderbird it had to be a bug embedded in C:// or even a cookie. Nothing showed up in Results. In Yahoo Search Web there was a mention made that it was a Malware. Therefore I used my Malwarebytes with no success and also their Chameleon same result. You are my hope. Steve

  • HT1688 I am wondering why i got a text from my Mom today. But for some reason it said her email instead of Mom. I am lost. I have emailed her through gmail before, but how and why did this happen ?

    Any ideas ?

    On her iPhone, she needs to change a setting:
    Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive/ Start New Conversations From:
    and then select her phone number, not her e-mail.
    You both should probably delete any conversations that originated from her e-mail address if you want to avoid perpetuating this confusion.

  • I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

    I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?

    I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

    Rude and pointless to shout at us here though.  Everyone here is just a fellow user of Apple products.  We voluntarily provide help for technical support - no here is a paid employee of Apple, so if you want some help from us, you can at least be polite and civil, else you are likely to just be ignored.

  • How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014

    How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014. in windows & SP2. I have been given about 20 .XPN files with a Photoshop course. I believe they are PS presets. I have no idea what to do with them.
    Thanks

    To be honest, i don't what those are either, as far as photoshop is concerned.
    Is the course specific to one subject or a general photoshop course?
    Here's a list of some of the most common kinds of photoshop files and the relevant extensions

  • HT1349 I updated my iphone (G3) and all of my apps are gone!  What can I do and why did this happen?

    I updated my iphone (G3) and all the apps are now gone!  What can I do and why did this happen? 

    Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync to? Were the apps in the iTunes library on your computer BEFORE you performed the update?

  • I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update.  Where are they and why did this happen?

    I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update.  Where are they and why did this happen?

    What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
    Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
    If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup.

  • Camera service has disappeared on my ipad 2, how do I find it and why did it disappear?

    My camera icon is still visible but when I click on it, the service (take pictures) has disappeared, how come? where or how do I find it? why did it disappear?

    It should be 'on' - if it was 'off' then the app woud be hidden and you wouldn't be able to access the app from your homescreen.
    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Who wrote the software that creates unresponsive script messages and why did they do it?

    A few years ago I switched from IE5 to Mozilla Firefox because people recommended it. At first it was great. But gradually, more and more I get the Unresponsive Script message. I am running Windows XP with Norton security.
    I have not added any other software since I switched to Firefox, apart from switching from Dialup to Broadband.. It does not matter if I click on 'Stop' or 'continue'. I have Firefox set up to automatically update. Invariably the error message is about a script that starts with'a.gfx' or something similar. I do not want this, did not ask for it, have not changed my habits or the types of websites i visit. I do not expect to have to become technically competent at removing software, because this was not a problem before I switched to Firefox and it ran fine to start with. Now Mozilla seems slow to start is another message I get . The problem seems to be Firefox not anything I have done. I want a browser that does not give me problems. Before I take my laptop to a computer shop, I would like to know why it was not a problem before and why Firefox has done this to me. If I have to buy a new computer withourt a proper explanation, I will not use firefox in future and I will tell people that Mozilla could not solve my problems. The least you could do is to (a) give me a thorough explanation and (b) send me an update that will fix all this.

    "gfx" often refers to the features of Firefox that interact most closely with your graphics card software. As this can change over time, it is possible that Firefox has become incompatible with your old graphic card drivers, or that it is incompatible with the new drivers.
    The standard workaround for this is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics. There is a checkbox for this:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    That will take effect the next time you start Firefox.
    More generally, it would be helpful to get more of the error message. You could grab a screenshot when you see it, and save those to see whether there is a pattern. This article has tips on screenshots: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

  • Why did my music download location change?

    All of my music is stored in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\
    When I download new songs now, artist and album folders are being created in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\ which is my iTunes Media folder location in the settings.
    My mobile applications are being stored in D:\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    So my question is, why are new music downloads all of a sudden being placed in D:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\? Did Apple change the location where they are placed? Should I move all of my existing music in that folder?

    Hey COtto1984,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes should default to the iTunes Media folder organization, as outlined in this resource:
    iTunes: Understanding iTunes Media Organization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
    In iTunes 9 and later, the iTunes folder is organized as follows, with iTunes Media organization arranging your content into folders related to the content:
    - iTunes
              - iTunes Media
                        - Music
    If you find that it is not defaulting to this organization, you can check to make sure your iTunes Media folder location is correct in your advanced preferences:
    Where are my iTunes files located?
