Inconsistent results using the "places" view on the iPad with geotagged photos

I am getting inconsistent results with geotagged photos on the iPad (both 1 and 2) OS 5.01.  It seems that sometime photos will show up in the correct location on the places view others will not ( they will not show up at all).  In fact I can have a geotagged photo in one folder, synch with iTunes and it will not show up in the places view and then move that same picture to a different folder (which becomes an album on the iPad) re-synch and it will now show up at the correct location in the places view.  All photos show up in the album view.  Everything is the latest version iTunes, iPad etc.  I can also have many photos geotagged exactly to the same location (exact same coordinates) some will show up, others will not.
I have used different methods to geotag my photos.  At first I was using Photoshop Elements 8 until they stopped supporting geotagging photos.  Now I am using a third party application GeoSetter (excellent free application).  The GPS data is clearly in the Exif data but the results are not consistent.
Any ideas? 

I believe I have solved this problem myself and thought others might benefit from what I found.  It turns out to be what I believe as a glitch in iTunes.  iTunes creates a cache of all the photos that you synch with your iPad, iPhone etc.  Apparently it does not update that cache when you change the photo.  At least not the Geotagging data.  The file modify date was changing but that wasn't enough to cause iTunes to update the cache of the photos.  I deleted the cache of all the photos and re-synched and presto now all my photos where showing up at the correct location in the iPad "places" view.
I might add that I called Apple tech support and was routed to a higher tier support person and was very disappointed with his response.  He basically told me that the "place" view in the iPad and iPhone was designed to be only used with an Apple computer and Apple software and was surprised the places view was working at all with pictures synched with a Windows based machine.  He also said he was unable to help me since he couldn't provide support for non-Apple products.  Although I understand this to a point I think he was too quick to make this decision.  The solution after all was a simple one and one I think he should have known.  I would think this cache problem would happen whether I was using Apple products as well.  I view this as a bug in iTunes.  Apple needs to compare the modified date of the file and update the cache if it has changed.

    Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
    I am sure it is.
    - The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
    - The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
    - The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content,  totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
    So yes, the purpose is:
    - to speed up switching modes
    - to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
    - to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

    Hi Moe,
    Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
    Or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Refresh the main view when the pop up was closed

    Hi,all
    how can I refresh the main view when the pop up window  was
    closed to see the updated data? In pop up window I update
    single row in the table based in main view.
    Regards,

    Michael,
    There are 2 type of pop-ups in WD, and the answer is different depending on which type you are using:
    1. Stand-alone browser window that hosts separate application (result of IWDWindowManager.createNonModalExternalWindow) -- no way.
    2. Inner pop-up created via IWDWindowManager.createModalWindow -- absolutely possible:
    -- a. Create event in component controller (probably with parameters)
    -- b. Create method in component controller that fires this event (with corresponding parameters, if any)
    -- c. In view that corresponds to window invoke method created in [ b ] and hence fire event. This should be done in action handler of something like "OK" Button or "Close" LinkToAction.
    -- d. In any other controller subscribe to event described in [ a ]

  • Can not see the design view nor the java file in CentOS

    Hi all. I've recently installed JSC2 in CentOS. I find this tool really useful. But I have a problem with the design view and the java file view. At the beginning, when I first create a Page1.jsp, I can see the design view and the java view with no problem. I run apps correctly. But after a while, I get a "null pointer exception" error and I am able to see only the jsp view, not the others. I don't even have the option to see the Design and Java views. And the page icon in the project window appears to be darker than a well working page. I'm not really sure what sequence of actions I do to get this error, it just suddenly happens. What I've done so far in JSC2 is to link to pages in the Page Navigation view. It works fine for a while, but after a while I get the error I've described.

    Yes, if I do that It happens the same. I've tried everything. Now I'm using Window$ 2000 and it works properly. Thanks anyway.

    Hi abc,
    I don't think BI office plug-in supports you the pivot table features of MS Excel.
    Even if you import a pivot table from BI, it is rather treated just as a table in Excel

  • How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

    Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
    Any Suggestions Please 

    Hey Mike,
    Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
    Hey Kukdai,
    Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
    support.
    Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well.  Here is the linK:

    Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

    I hope that helps!

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.

  • To rename a page or folder In either the Folder List panel or the Folders view of the site, right-click the file or folder, and then click Rename. Type the new name.

    I set out to change the page name ready to publish on my hosts server after Having used a temp. name, simple so the " Expression web user guide says" I have not been able to find the "Folder List panel" of The folders view of the site,

    If you are in the standard configuration, click "Site|Open Site," then browse to and open your site. With an open site, you will see a tab at the top labeled "Site View." Another tab at the bottom will be labeled "Folders,"
    because you are then in Folders view of the site (recognize that terminology?). At the same time, unless you have your panels hidden, in the upper left side you will see a panel labeled "Folders List." If you do not see this panel, click "Panels|Reset
    Current Workspace."

  • In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?

    Hello,
    In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?
    Thank you.

    Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
    GetValueOrDefault
    EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
    questions...
    To be clear:
    Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
    You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

  • Switching between the Classic View and the Tree View in transaction FEBA

    Hi All
    I would like to know how to switch between the Classic View and the Tree View on transaction FEBA for post processing of bank statements. I have a scenario where in the DEV client the transaction is calling up the Tree View and in my QA environment it calls up the Classic View, and I would like to know if there is a way to easily switch between the two views.
    I'd appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    I think you can do the same using transaction codes FEBA and FEBAN.
    Thanks

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • Is it possible to have the "single view" (Einzelseite) as the default view in the preview.app?

    The single view is the only setting I need and I find it cumbersome to dig inside menues for every single document. It would be great if there was an option or maybe a property that can be set.
    Thanks!

    And another comment: The save trick does not work for documents you cannot write. For instance I have a latex documentation on my machine and I cannot save these documents since they belong to root. So it would be great to make this configurable for the user.
    Thanks!

  • Where is the "month" view on the calendar in iOS7?

    The subject is my question.
    What happened to the month view on the calendar in iOS7? I really liked my MONTH view. Mine is showing only 3 options: Today, Calendars, Inbox.
    I really liked being able to see what is scheduled for the month.  Now I have to push on each day to see if there is something going on, and the calendar only shows the week.
    Apple reminds me of Coke.  You have something that works really well and everyone loves it (real Coke), and then they decide to completely change it (fake Coke LOL) and one can never get the old stuff back -- even as an option.
    So I liked my old calendar and wanted to keep it.  LOL

    Okay, just found this thread for anyone else who has this question: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23043066#23043066

    Hi guys! I wanna know if there's any option to see more than a day in the calendar view of the notication center. I swear I saw a friend of mine who could see more than a day in the notification center.
    Than

    In Settings > Notification Center, try turning "on" all the six buttons under "Today View".  Also turn "on" the top two buttons under "Access on Lock Screen".  Doing that should show you "Tomorrow" at the bottom of Noticiation Center.
