How to rotate photographs? I've tried everything

Hi!
I am a fairly new user of mac, and after months I still don't know how/when/why do photographs rotate. I am very confused.
This is the thing:
Some of my vertical photographs appear upright in the Finder. But some appear sideways, for no apparent reason. Some of the ones that appear sideways in the Finder, appear upright when I open them in the Viewer, in Photoshop and in iPhoto. But are sideways if I upload them to a blog or to a website.
Some others that also appear sideways in the Finder, also appear sideways in Photoshop, the Viewer and iPhoto, too. Those I can rotate from the Viewer and save. If I do this, they will appear upright in Photoshop, the Viewer and iPhoto, but still sideways in the Finder and in blogs and websites.
Now once I have managed to get a photo to appear upright in the Viewer/Photoshop/iPhoto (but still not on the Finder), if I open it in Photoshop and simply save (without doing absolutely anything else), it will automatically rotate and appear upright in the Finder, and anywhere i may post it in the net. This is the only method that has worked for me so far, but it is very time consuming when you want to rotate fifty pictures everyday.
Now I don't know why each vertical photograph acts differently (I would like to), but my guess is that when photographs appear upright in the Finder, the file has been correctly rotated. So I have been trying to rotate them directly from the Finder (right click- automator- rotate photo- ok) but that doesn't work, nothing happens.
Can anyone explain to me how this whole thing works and if there's a logic to it? And if there is a faster way to rotate than to open in photoshop and save?
For reference, I upload the photographs from a Sony Cybershot 12.1 camera by opening it like a harddrive and drag-drop. I do not use iPhoto. Could it have something to do with the way I take the photos from the camera- vertical up or down...?
Thank you so much. It's driving me crazy.
D.d.

HI there Violet, In my camera I have the settings saved to not rotate in camera. Does your camera have that capability? Some do some do not. As far as understanding the rotation.This is based on how you turn your camera when you take the shot. Vertical or Horizontal. That is how it will be displayed in the finder or anywhere else for that matter.
I change rotation right within the I Photo window, it is quicker and easier than opening photoshop to change your aspect ratio. Any edits I make aside from rotating, I do in Photoshop. In I Photo preferences, I have photoshop set as the external editor, this way all changes you make will be depicted within I Photo. You need some type of organizational tool to keep track of your photos, that is what I Photo does so well. Its your database. Ileen

Hello Virginia.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

I cannot block popups. Content popus are blocked (without exception and they still constantly appear. I've tried everything I know how to try.

It all started with my default browser being constantly changed to the Ask browser and popups appearing. I tried everything to stop the default browser from changing to Ask and was finally successful by deleting the Ask Toolbar. Still, the popups continued
I constantly get popups (related the topic that I'm browsing). I have assured that all popups are turned off without exception in the Options/Tools/Content tabs. I run the Norton Security Suite and Malwarebyes and find nothing. I've updated my Java and Flash Plugins and I don't know what else to do.

For some reason my volume on my iPad isn't working? I know how to turn it up and everything yes but I can't hear anything at all and I've tried everything can anyone help?

I can't get my volume to work and have tried everything! Anyone know anything else I can try I really don't want to send it in if I don't have 2!

I am making the assumption - based on the "tags" in your description - that you do not have sounds in apps, games and things like that - but you can hear sound when you use the music app. ......
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I was deleting some Wild Tangent games, computer went nuts, and now I can't get Firefox. I have to access the web through Internet Explorer (hate it). How do I get Firefox back. I've tried everything.

I had FF 4.0 Beta 12. While deleting some Wild Tangent games, everything went black and I haven't been able to get to Firefox since, (about 7-8 weeks. I click on the desktop icon for FF and I do get the FF screen with the FF icon on top left and the minimize, maximize and exit icons on the top right. However, the screen is just white and I can't open anything up. This is driving me crazy because the only way I can get to the internet is through IE and I hate it. I do get a crash report from FF and I fill it out and send it in with my email but I hear nothing from FF because I don;t think you get the report. I want my FF back and I'm going very frustrated trying everything and nothing works. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks, Cathy

How can I delete purchases from my itunes account that I DID NOT PURCHASE I have tried everything for a VERY LONG TIME please please help

I have had an iTunes account for 3 years. I have tried for at least two years to delete these purchases that I did not purchase off my iTunes downloads. I have tried everything. I took iTunes off my computer, redownloaded . I have tried deleting and removing them. I do not know how they got there but everytime I go to download anything these 8 purchases start to download. I then have to pause them all and back to the agganizing termoil of trying to delete them off my account. Can you please please help meI am beyond aggrevated because nothing I do deletes these things off, and I have tried for two years with no results but more aggrivation.

I would contact Apple Support either on the phone or via e-mail and have them check if they could remove these questionable purchases off your account.
There is currently no way to do this on your own.
And re-installing iTunes does not help as all the purchase info is stored on Apple's servers.

My iTunes account says error 13019 after it has recognized all of the music and I have tried everything that is on this website and everything i can find about how to fix it; I even created in under a new administrator. Any suggestions how to fix it?

My iTunes account says "The iPod "Madison " cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)" after it has recognized all of the music and has went through every song and it said "Copying (song) to "Madison"....." and then after it has went through all of my songs (492) it says the error message. I have tried everything that is on the Apple iTunes website about it, I have created the music account under a new administrator, I've tried everything. What do i do?

I found something that worked. I had never come across "recovery mode," but found reference to it, how to do it. http://www.ichilton.co.uk/blog/iphone/getting-the-iphone-ipod-touch-into-recover y-mode-48.html
Put the ipod touch in recovery mode and then restored it, setting it up as a new Ipod, rather than restoring from the backup. Given how much trouble I'd had, I suspected that the backup might be corrupted anyway.
That seems to have resolved everything completely.

I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
Thanks for your input!
