    The exif data is stored in the photo and will always remain there unless the user removes it.
    Relying on the backup of the iPhone done via iTunes to backup the photos is a start in the correct direction but is ultimately not very smart.  Keep in mind that backups can only be used for restoring to another iOS device.  Apple does not support any method of extracting specific data from the backup.
    Copy the pictures off the device as would be done with any digital camera.

    Do you have an icon at the top of the page that says 'Library'? Tap that to get back. If not, just tap on the page that shows up and this should bring up the icons at the top for Library, another for the contents of the book, and the text size, search, and bookmark.

    I am way overdue for an OS update and it says I will lose all my music, books etc on the ipad and there are purchases detected that have not been transferred. I synced but the books do not sync. How do I do this so I don't lose anything?

    Use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes prior to updating the device.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • HT4972 How do I back up my music, apps, & books so I can update to 5.1.1 ?

    How do I back up my Music, apps, and Books, so I can update to 5.1.1 ?

    You can copy iTunes purchases (which includes apps, music, films, ibooks etc) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. For music from other sources (including CDs), then if they aren't already on your computer's iTunes then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off.
    You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.

  • How do I back up my G4 power book to a Ipod is this possible

    How do I back up my G4 power book to a Ipod is this possible , If so what program would I need. Thank you Dan

    Enable disk use for the iPod, and then open the Users folder on your hard disk and drag your home folder to the iPod. You can back up other applications and documents you've placed on the hard disk in the same way; this method cannot be used to back up a Mac OS X installation.

  • How can i back up my NOOK Books to my MacBook Air, and then transfer to a second iPad??

    how can i back up my NOOK books to my macbook air?  when i sync, all that comes over is purchases from Apple.

    File > Transfer Purchases will only copy purchases from Apple (though it does appear to copy PDFs from iBooks as well). Depending on whether the second iPad is new or not, you could try backing up the first iPad and restoring that backup to the second iPad and see if that copies the books onto it. Otherwise I think that you should be able to re-download the books on the second iPad

  • HT201272 How do I download audio books that are not on my purchased list? That I have purchased.

    I have purchased a few audio books on iTunes and in the process of upgrading the audio is no longer on my iCloud account. How do I get these books back? The books are in my purchase history. But iTunes would make me pay for them again if I get it from there.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading. Have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/
