How do I geotag photos in iPhoto for the iPhone?

I decided to purchase the iPhoto app for my iPhone 4S after carefully reading through the description to make sure it could do most of what I wanted. Most importantly a statement in the description said I could add location data, comments & even the weather by simply swiping across a photo. On that basis, I purchased the app. After a couple of hours of playing with it, I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? Swiping just scrolls to the next photo. If I look under the info tab for the option to geotag, it's not there. I checked out the app help and curiously there is no mention of geotagging a photo anywhere. Was I led astray or am I just doing something wrong?

You may be misunderstanding the capabiities.  The location info is added to the EXIF data of a photo as it is taken (at least that's how it works with the iPhone).  This is an optional feature for your photos, and you can turn it on by going to Settings, Location Services, and turning the service ON for the camera.  Now, once you take a photo, the GPS data will be associated with it. 
Next, if you open that photo in Photos or iPhoto on your device, the GPS data tagged on the photos will show up on a little map in the Places view.
Stated another way, I don't think there is a way in iPhoto for iOS to tag your photos after you take them.  However, if you use your iPhone camera and have Location Services turned on, you should get GPS data added to each photo without any further work on your part.

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

  • Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

    Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

    What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera?  You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.

  • How do I exclude photos from iPhoto for iOS

    I have iPhoto for iOS but unfortunately I can't find a way to exclude the photos I don't want anymore. Do you know how do I do it?

    Do you mean, you want to delete certain photos from your iPhoto Library on your IOS device?
    Photos that have been synced to iPhoto need to be removed on the device you are syncing from, then sync again. Photos that you imported from mail or the camera roll can be deleted using the menu:
    See this manual page: Delete photos and this thread:
    Re: How can I delete photos in iPhoto on my iPad2?
    If you edited a photo you need to revert the edits, before you can remove it. Otherwise it will stay in the "Edited" album.

  • How do i convert my imovie trailer for the iphone 4 to other file formats?

    I'm due to make a comical presentation in 2 days, and i downloaded iMovie for the iphone 4, and would like to use the trailers created as part of the presentation.
    I'm on windows xp, and have sent the file to itunes, gone into the file sharing part, added it, saved it, and even synched the flipping thing and yet it wont even play in itunes??? thats driving me mad as it is??
    Not really bothered about that....My real main concern is wanting to play the movie file in an AVI/MOV/MP4 etc format, and have even downloaded various video conversion packages to try an convert and playback my results, but once again, and a few hours wasted, I find myself facing another brick wall.
    Is it even possible to playback the imovie trailers created in a more generic video format for others to see??
    I really do hope so!!!!
    If not, then apple, i want my £2.99 (about $5.50) back, coz that would be as pointless as a paper ashtray.
    I hope ive not had my pants pulled down and wasted my money an time on this.
    Please someone help me, or put me out of my misery.

    Actually, scrap that one girls. Ive figured it out. For those who have a similar prob, just make sure you have quicktime installed. plug ur iphone into ur pc as normal, and choose the camera an scanner options that appears auto on ur window. select the trailer u wish after the usual wizard talk through and then "ok" or "apply" or whatever the button is called. select your destination folder, and walaa. its all done, and converted into .MOV format.
    NOTE:  When saving ur trailer on ur phone, and it asks what file size, chose the Medium one, or it takes ages to open.....unless ur comp is super fast, and not like my craptop.

  • How do I organize photos in iPhoto for ios

    I am confused because there is a category for organizing photos here and in the iPhoto for iOS tutorial, but I cannot find any functionality for organizing photos into events and albums in the software. Am I missing something?  Does anyone know how to do this with the iPad short of making a new album every time in photos?  Most of the time I would like to add photos to existing albums and events rather than creating new ones.

    At the moment I cannot see a way to do it in 'iPhoto' you have to do it in the 'Photos' app.  My workflow is to organize in 'Photos' and use 'iPhoto' for editing.  Hopefully future versions will make this much easier.

  • How do i move photos from iPhoto to my iPhone?

    I just let the iPhoto delete all the photos off my iPhone 4s.  But, there's a few I would like to put back on.  How do I do that?

    Hello,
    To do this, just plug your iPhone into your computer and click on it in the sidebar. Then there should be a little menu above your phone's information. Click on Photos and check off Sync Photos from and select iPhoto from the drop down menu. Then select what from iPhoto you want, and click Apply from the bottom of iTunes.
    Hope this helps,
    Giovanni

  • How do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

    i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

    You cannot add photos to a trailer.
    The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

  • How does porting work with pre-ordering for the iPhone 5?

    I am currently a T-mobile customer with two lines, one for my wife and one for myself. We want to pre-order the iPhone 5 and become Verizon customers. Do I just pre-order the phones and then port our numbers over after we have received them? I guess what I am asking is, do I need to give Verizon any kind of heads up when we pre-order that we will want to port numbers, or can I just take care of all of that once the phones arrive?
    I know I have to keep my T-mobile account active until the numbers are ported, so I will definitely being doing that.

        That's a great question jimlittle! First, let me express our excitement to have you join the VZW family! I'm sure you're going to love your new phone and service.
    The best way to pre-order your iPhone 5, is with the request to port-in your numbers from your current carrier. Here is the link to start your pre-order: http://bit.ly/RRkIKx After every option, select "Next" (top of screen). After you select your device(s), plan(s), and accessories, you will be asked if you want a new number, or if you want to transfer current numbers. If you transfer number, you will be asked for the number you want to transfer, current account number, PIN or password, owner's name, number to be reached, and full address. (Therefore, you will need all that when ordering.) The numbers will be ported over once you receive the phones, and they are activated. Until then, they will not be disconnected from your current carrier.
    I trust this information is helpful.
    Thank you,
