How do you rotate a group of photos?

I use a summer 2007 iMac with latest operating system and latest aperature, both have latest updates.  I've read the applicable help data.  Should be really simple.  Just select the photos to be rotated and do it.  What simple item am I missing?  I never had any problem with iPhoto, especially in this regard.  I've been enduring this for a couple of years
I just don't want to pay Apple to help with such a simple item.
When I have a lot of photos to rotate and am reduced to doing them individually its frustrating and I wish I never left iPhoto.

It is simple - what is the problem, that it does not work for you?
Select the images in the Browser and press the "Rotate" button. Hold down the alt/opt key, if you want to change the rotation direction.
Make sure, the "Primary Only" option is not enabled - otherwise only the "primary" selected image will be rotated, see:

  • How can I rotate a group of photos

    I have several hundred photos I need to rotate.  I recall I can do this as a group if I select them.  Can someone share how I do this?

    Same as everywhere else in the OS.
    1. Click to select
    2. Command-click to add to the selection
    3. To select a contiguous group: click on the first item, then shift-click on the last to select all in between
    4. Draw a box with the mouse across the items.

  • TS4253 How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on iPad?

    How do you rotate a photo that is sideways in the photo library on the iPad? I have found no solution in the user manual or anywhere else. I simply want to rotate the picture from being sideways to being upright. Doesn't seem like this should be such a mystery. Or am I missing something obvious? Thx

    Thanks folks, I see there are photo editor apps for the iPad. I am downloading one now, and it should work. Good to know I wasn't missing something in the iPad itself. It does not have the capability to rotate or edit pictures without outside help. Thx

  • Imported photos end up sideways - how do you rotate within iphone?

    SYnching photos from Picasa/Google, all the photos are correct in their orientation but when they come into iPhone, many get turned sideways. How do you rotate them back? (Of course if you turn the phone, the photo's orientation changes as well). Help - thanks!

    I apologize if I have hijacked the thread or if it seems that I have attempted to derail it in any way.
    My issue is "when they come into iPhone" and appears to be the same issue that kekman is having. I have a large number of photos on my iPhone, with about half of them being in portrait orientation.
    On the Macintosh platform, I can copy the photos off of the phone, put them in albums in iPhoto (which is not performing any actual rotation of the image other than for display), and sync the albums back to the phone with the pictures retaining their portrait or landscape orientation as they did in the camera roll.
    On Windows, I copy the photos off the iPhone (either Picasa, Camera wizard, and I've even copied via ssh/scp), put them in folders (without editing the photos in any way), and sync the "albums" back to the phone using iTunes, but this time all photos show up as landscape.
    I can't imagine that this was the intended behavior. Why have the iPhone store the orientation (which clearly both it and iPhoto are using to display it properly) if you're just going to ignore it when you sync albums? I really can't understand at all why iTunes would strip the EXIF data that the iPhone itself puts in the JPEG, from both a user and a developer standpoint. I shouldn't have to modify the photos just to get them to display properly as they did before I took them off the phone.
    I guess I'm just frustrated that I can't take photos out of my camera roll using my PC and still have them display properly when I sync them back as albums. So I'm currently keeping them all on the phone in the camera roll and it's getting very cluttered.
    It's irritating when you're trying to show off the nice expensive piece of kit to your coworkers and they keep asking why it insists on showing your pictures sideways and you have nothing to say other than "it's a bug" :-/
    Ok, so now I've really hijacked this thread. I'll just leave it at that and hope for a fix from Apple (do the devs even read this?). Is there some kind of Apple bug reporting/tracking system similar to bugzilla, etc.?

  • How to back up a group of photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive

    how to back up a group of photos[an album] in iPhoto to an external hard drive. not taking them out of iPhoto just backing up

    If you're not taking them out of iPhoto, then you need to back up the iPhoto Library:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • When trying to rotate a group of photos only one of them rotates

    When trying to rotate a group of photos only one of them rotates.

    Do you perhaps have the "Primary Only" flag enabled?
    The little button with the framed "1"  ?  Or in the "Edit" menu "Primary Only"?

  • How do you rotate a pdf document in preview?

    There is a book where the double pages are turned. How do you rotate them so that you can read them in preview?

    There are three ways.
    1. If you have a toolbar on your page (opened by clicking the gray oval in the upper right hand corner) you should see the 'Rotate' option there (it's blue).
    2. Click Tools in the Menu Bar. Rotate left and Rotate right are there.
    3. Command L for Left, Command R for right.
    Rotate until they face the right way. You should be able to save the changes in orientation.
