IOS 8: Photos not presenting abroad geo tags

i reside in China and I have taken pictures abroad for the past few years. Geo tags worked fine until iOS 8 upgrade: photos tagged outside China is not presented with location names, but their geographic data are retained.
Abroad locations include the US, Canada, and northern part of Europe. Anybody have any ideas how to fix it?  Thanks in advance.

Ocay, I found solution. I just turn off/on light and HDR swithers in camera app.

  • IPhoto 09 not recognising locations for geo-tagged photos

    I've been geotagging my photos in iPhoto for over a year now, using HoudahGeo. This works really well and integrates great with sites such as Flickr that support geo-tagged photos.
    When I installed iPhoto 09, it only recognises about 30 photos out of several thousand as geo-tagged. These are mainly photos taken with my iPhone, but also some taken with my Sony camera and geotagged with HoudahGeo.
    I've checked a sample of the ones it does not put in a location (all taken with the same Sony camera) and the Exif data is there with the correct latitude and longitude but iPhoto 09 sees these fields as blank when I do a Photos > Shows Extended Photo Info, the latitude and longitude fields are blank.
    Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong / how I get the photos to show on the map in iPhoto 09?

    I usually import the photos direct to iPhoto from my camera and then use HoudahGeo to geo-tag the original copies of iPhoto in my library. Prior to iPhoto 9 this is not a big issue as it did not use the geo-tag information directly but with iPhoto 9 it's a big issue for users like me as I'd rather not have to export from the camera to a folder, geo-tag and then import to iPhoto 9 as it's messy to say the least.
    As I noted - this will not work - iPhoto is a database and it keeps data about the photo in its database - as all database programs do - and changing the data elsewhere will not update the database
    Anytime you apply modifications directly to the data in the iPhoto database you are risking corruption and it is recommended that you not ever modify the contents of the iPhoto library
    I use an ATP Photo Finder - http://www.atpinc.com/p2-4a.php?sn=00000414 - which applies the Geocodeing data directly to my photos so when I import them they are complete - it simplifies my work flow a lot
    Surely Apple will have thought of users like me who geo-tag using a GPS external to the camera and provided some easy method of re-reading the Exif data in the photos in real time?

  • How can I change the geo tag of an image in iPhoto '11?

    A lot of my old photos either have no geo tag, or have incorrect tags (apparently I took some pictures in the middle of the Yellow Sea).
    So, how do I change or at least erase the geo tag for one or more photos?  I've tried "Rescan Location" and nothing happens.

    And did you look at iPhoto help on adding places?
    Add places to your photos
    If you have photos that don’t have GPS information, including print photos that were scanned to a disk, you can still map your photos in Places.
    https://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/help/index.html?lang=en#
    Watch the movie (about 2 minutes)
    View and organize photos using Places
    iPhoto matches recognizable location names you enter, such as “Seattle” or “Milan,” to a mapping database. When you add a location to a single photo or an entire Event, those photos are marked on the Places map.
    Or, if you have latitude and longitude information for the place where you shot your photos, you can use that information to add the location.
    Important:  You must be connected to the Internet for the Places feature to show photo locations on the map.
    Hide
    To add a place name:
    Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.Tip:  If you select an Event, the location is added to every photo in that Event. But you can add locations to selected photos without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the photos you want, move your pointer over them, and then click the Info button. Skip to step 3.
    Click the Info button in the toolbar to open the Information pane.
    Select “Assign a Place” and start typing the location name to see the related names iPhoto suggests.You can type city names, place names (such as “Empire State Building”), and addresses (such as “12345 Main St., Lincoln, NE”).Note:  If no locations appear, check to make sure that iPhoto is set to look up locations.
    As related names appear, do one of the following:
    If you see the location you want appear in the pop-up menu, choose it. iPhoto marks your selected location with a red marker pin on the map in the Information pane.
    If you don’t see the exact location you want in the pop-up menu, choose a location that’s nearby. For example, if you took a photo of a star at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, you can type “Hollywood” into the location field and then choose the Hollywood, California, option from the pop-up menu. Then go to step 5.A red marker pin appears in the map in the Information pane.
    To fine-tune the location, you can click the marker pin (it turns yellow) and drag it to a different location, such as a neighboring town, or a more specific location, such as a particular intersection.You can click the plus and minus buttons to zoom in or out, and drag the map to show a different area.To center the map on the pin, click the circle icon.Note:  You can move marker pins only in the small map that appears below Places in the Information pane. You can’t drag marker pins on the full-size Places map.
    When you’re satisfied with the location as it appears in the Information pane, click the arrow next to the location name to view the marker on the full Places map.
    HideTo use latitude and longitude to add a place:
    Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.Tip:  If you select an Event, the location is added to every photo in that Event. But you can add locations to selected photos without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the photos you want, move your pointer over them, and then click the Info button. Skip to step 3.
    Click the Info button to open the Information pane.
    Select “Assign a Place,” and then type the latitude and longitude, separated by a comma.For example, you can type “24, -110” or, if you prefer, you can use a longer format, such as “24.15988731, -110.50838234.”It’s important to always put the latitude first.
    Look at the map to confirm the location, and then do one of the following:
    If the location is correct, continue to step 5.
    If the location is incorrect, retype the latitude and longitude, or drag the pin to a more exact location on the map.You can use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, and drag the map to center it on a better spot.Note:  You can move marker pins only in the small map that appears below Places in the Information pane. You can’t drag marker pins on the full-size Places map.
    If you want, you can view the location marked on the full Places map by clicking the arrow next to the location name.
    HideTo copy the location of one photo to other photos:You can copy the location of one photo to another photo or photos.
    Select a photo that has the location assigned to it that you want to copy, and then choose Edit > Copy.
    Select one or more photos that you want to assign the same location to, and choose Edit > Paste Location.The location is added to the photos, which you can then view using Places.

  • Photo Geo tags are not being used by Places

    I have been importing photos into iPhoto with valid geo tags and none of the photos are being shown on the Places map.
    When I initially starting using iPhoto I imported some pictures from my iPhone and realised that the pictures were identified on the Places maps automatically, since I have added photos and manually edited the location information directly in Places.
    If I import pictures from my iPhone they are not entered into Places and if you check all the location information is blank, if you look at the extended information you can see all the correct GPS information...
    I'm confused..

    in your iPhoto preferences is look up places set to "Automatically"? The default is "never" and it must be changed to "automatically" to work.

  • IPhoto 11 is moving my geo tagged photos

    iPhoto has been moving my geo tagged photos to the wrong place, sometimes it is just moving a few of them to a different town a few miles away but after opening it today it moved about 60 pictures taken in Maui to somewhere in Idaho. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?  I'm getting tired of having to move my photos back to where they were taken as it is not very easy anymore with the newest version of iPhoto.

    Sorry but I do not understand your question
    As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

  • Places doesn't show up for geo-tagged photos from phone (Sony Ericsson)

    So I have a Sony Ericsson T715, which has triangulation geo-tagging for photos, I can see their location through the phone no problem.
    However, when I import them via the Bluetooth File Browser to my Mac and import them into iPhoto '09, their location does not show up the photos seem to hold no information on this.
    Why is this? How should I import them so that this information stays? (Was a reason why I bought this phone.)
    I tried looking at the phone/importing through Image Capture, but it doesn't seem to work... keeps randomly opening iPhoto and showing nothing. In Image Capture it shows the photos, but I can't import them - just says it's importing, but does nothing in the end.

    No one but the people who made the phone if the data is not there then it is not there and it is not an iPhoto issue - it is a phone issue - their tech support is the place to go
    iPhoto handles correctly formatted Geo Date in the correct EXIF fields - getting it there is the soure hardware's job

    PS threadjacking is not the best way to get answers even if it is an iPhoto question - new threads that are on the subject are much more successful

  • Geo tagging in Nokia Photos

    Hi,
    I have Nokia N 82, v 31.0.016.  For some of my geo-tagged pictures, after syncing with Nokia Photos, if i want to see my geo-tagged picture in Show item in Map View, i am able to see the picture in Map view of Nokia Photos, but in Timeline view, if i try to flip the same photos which is geo-tagged, it will not show the location where it is taken, Is it a bug ? For geo-tagged image why the location is not stored default on tags ?  Will it be useful, if geo-tagged pictures location tag is updated automatically? Or it has to be made as Manual to store the location tag for all the images which are already geo-tagged?  Hope it sounds clear ...

    Go to Menu > Settings > Privacy > Save location info in Camera = NO.

  • IOS 7, photos which were cropped do not exactly fit window anymore

    One thing i instantly noticed after upgrading to iOS 7 is that photos I cropped either outside the ipad or with photo editing apps like iphoto or snapseed on the ipad, sometime do not fit the window in the Standard Photo Viewer anymore. (I use ipad 4 with Retina, wifi, 128 GB)
    This is always the case especially for vertical photos, not horizontal ones. This was definitely not the case in 6.1.3. For example, when viewing a photo, it fits on the left and right side, but on the top & bottom it is slightly cropped (approx. 1cm).
    That 1 cm on the top is not really cropped, only visually, it is outside the frame. It is not possible to adjust the photo with the finger, it either goes back to the cropped position or it minimizes.
    This is a bit annoying as especially for faces/heads on top of the photo it is negatively influencing when presenting photos to people as it doen't show the intended size of the photo. Does anyone have similar issues or maybe a way of how to fix it? Thanks

    This is terrible. I crop my pics 3:2 just the way they are supposed to be and now iOS7+ thinks it knows better and violently zooms in my pic filling the whole 16:9 iPhone 5S/6 screen chopping heads, feet etc. off.
    iOS does not seem to mind that the original 4:3 iPhone shot does not fit the whole screen but iOS gladly shows the whole pic with black on the top and on the bottom areas of screen. Only if you dare to crop the pic to e.g. a dSLR image ratio 3:2 iOS decides you actully want to fill the screen with the pic.
    How can we get anyone from Apple to comment on this stupid issue? I have given feedback a few times on this issue but of course no comment anywhere.

  • Remove geo-tag from iPhone photos when sending via Mail

    I sometimes send companies/people photos I've taken with my iPhone. It is convenient to take them, and send them.
    However, I've noticed that the geo-tag is not stripped from the photos when sent via Mail.app
    Technically, one could figure out where I live with it — not comfortable with that. I like the feature for my collection in iPhoto, but nowhere else. Facebook strips it out (smartly).
    Any suggestions apart from using 3rd party apps?

    Thanks guys, but I know I can disable it for future pictures — but I want to keep it for most pictures, but also feel safe that when I'm sharing them, that this information is stripped out.
    Any ideas apart from 3rd party apps?
    Maybe a feature request, no?

  • Iphone 6 -- iOS 8.1.3 -- screen constantly freezing, Apps instantly crashing, Photos not deleting, iMessages disappearing, iCloud not reflecting correct backups

    Ever since downloading iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 6, I've been experiencing quite a few issues (I am assuming all are related to the update, but not sure)
    I apologize in advance for the lengthy post! Here goes:
         • Screen constantly freezes--sometimes it freezes on the home screen (no apps open), other times when I am in Settings, Photos or any of my downloaded apps. Each time this happens I have to restart the phone by holding the home and lock buttons in order to unfreeze the screen...this happens approximately 4-5x per day.
         • All of my apps either freeze or crash upon opening, and my Mail app either refuses to stay open or it will show an empty inbox with 'no mail' --even though my email has always been synced to the phone.
         • I am not receiving a lot of iMessages or incoming calls to my iPhone, but most of the missing iMessages will appear on my MacBook Pro. And when I do receive iMessages normally, entire portions of certain conversations--both sent & received--keep disappearing (whether my iphone is on all day or if I have to restart it). *the convo that has gone MIA on my iPhone will still appear on the other persons phone.
         • When I open Messages or Recent Call logs, the contact names do not appear..only 10-digit phone numbers. (Even though all of the #s are saved by name in Contacts).*This has only happened a few times so far.*
         • Furthermore--and most frustrating!--my camera and photos are practically inaccessible. Almost every time I open 'Photos', the app crashes.. I have no available storage to use the camera so when I try to select photos and hit 'delete' the app crashes instead of deleting the photos.
         • I have considered performing a factory reset... however, my iCloud states I have 4.6gb available (w/ 5gb plan) even though my photos are turned on in iCloud, and should be taking up most of the 5gb storage space..they appear 'On,' but do not show up under 'Manage Storage'...the only apps/documents/data shown are WhatsApp and Mail so I am afraid to reset the phone as I have no idea if the photos are actually backed up or not.   (Screenshots are attached)
    If anybody has been experiencing any of the same issues I would greatly appreciate your insight or advice for how to fix this! I'm hoping it is just a bug with the new iOS software and not an issue with my phone itself as it is only 3 months old.. Thank you in advance!

    **Adding to the final photo in my original post... When I select the 'Kendall Anderson's...This iPhone' using 324.2MB, Photo Library is turned 'On', but has 'No Data'....I know this is not possible because my photos that were previously backed up used up ~3.5GB of storage.
    Either I am doing something wrong here, or my iPhone just has a mind of its own with this new update!

  • IOS 8 Photo Sharing not available

    After updating to iOS 8 Photo Sharing is not available on some iPads 4s while it is on others. I have checked setting to make sure Photo Sharing is turned on.
    On one iPad 4 running iOS 8.0 all is working fine. Under iCloud > Photos > I see iCloud Photo Library (Beta) it is turned off; My Photo Stream turned on; and iCloud Photo Sharing turned on. If I go under Photos & Camera I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned off, My Photo Stream turned on; iCloud Photo Sharing on; and Summarize Photos also on.
    On another device that is also running iOS 8.0 under iCloud > Photos > there is only My Photo Stream. That is all that shows up there.  If I go to Photos & Camera I see My Photo Stream turned on, Summarize Photos turned on. The other settings mentioned above are not even there to turn on.
    I tried re-inviting the other person to the Shared Photo Stream and she got the email on the iPad and Accepted the invite and received a message to turn on Photo Sharing in settings. Everything is on that can be turned on.
    This is not the only iPad doing this. We have a number of them having the problem within our school after updating to iOS 8.
    I should mention the Photo Sharing was working before the update on the devices and the shared photo stream is working on her MacBook.
    Anyone with any idea on what could be causing this and a fix?
    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Nope! That was the problem, I didnt even think about Voice Dictation being part of Siri..
    Thank you very much for your help and quick response!

  • IOS 5 photo edits not really saved?

    I cropped and applied auto-enhance to photos on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5then uploaded what I thought were edited photos to Facebook.
    It turns out the edits were not really saved even though I saved the edits.
    Original photos before the edits were uploaded Facebook.
    Is this a bug? What would be the point of editing photos using the iOS 5 photo edit tools if the edits are not really saved for export?
    Is there a fix?

    This is interesting, because I had the opposite experience, but then I touched something. :-)
    It seems that the Photos app behaves like iPhoto in that you can revert your edits. It can be done directly in the Photos app (clumsy) or in iPhoto once you've copied the photo to your Mac (easier).
    I cropped a photo and uploaded it to FB. It looked cropped both on FB and in my linked iPhoto album. I thought that Photos had overwritten my photo because I didn't see an obvious way to revert it. After discovering how to revert the image, I did so in iPhoto. Now the image on FB and in the linked album show the image as uncropped.
    I don't know if this helps your situation, but it explains a bit more of the weird Photos behavior that's been observed since iOS 5 dropped.

  • E-mails sent from PC users the photos are not present

    When opening some e-mails sent from PC users the photos are not present anyone have the same situation.

    I have not had such a problem. Is the size of the message sufficient to actually contain photos, of might this be a case of embedded links to images on remote servers?
    Under the headers, is there any list of attachments?

  • Photos in iOS show location, not title

    After syncing my iPod Touch (iOS 8.3) with my MacBook (Yosemite 10.10.3), all the photos on my iPod Touch now show the location and date taken, but not the title - even though the photos do have titles in Photos 1.0 on my MacBook.   Is there some way to get my iOS Photos to display titles?

    I want the title to appear - the same title that has been applied to Photos OS X on my MacBook.
    Photos in iOS cannot display titles. That's why it only displays the location and the date.   I linked to the Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support document, because it lists what Photos iOS cannot display. And titles and captions are one of the items. You cannot add titles or captions in Photos on iOS,  and so they are not displayed.
