IOS4 landscape photos sideways in e-mail

I've e-mailed photos, taken in landscape mode, on iOS 4 (3G and iPhone 4) and they're sideways. It seems that iOS no longer orients landscape photos correctly before e-mailing them.
Other's have noted the problem here: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-939122.html
To reproduce the problem, simply snap a photo in landscape mode and then e-mail it to your desktop e-mail client (i.e. Mail) and it'll be sideways.
I'm seeing this problem with friends on Facebook who post their photos automatically from Posterous.

It was this way with my 3GS under 3.1.3 and I find it is the same way on my iPhone 4.

I don't think that's the case. Some has definitely changed with the way the iPhone handles photos in iOS 4. Prior to iOS 4, photos were orientated according to the how the camera was held. To me, this seems to make the most sense since the photos would appear correct when displayed by software without needing to dig into the EXIF data.
I guess what you described is what the changed was with iOS 4.
crh24, what happens if you take a photo in portrait mode, with iOS4, and then e-mail it to yourself and look at the photo in Main on the desk top? (It will probably appear sideways).
I just took a photo in landscape, with the button to the left and e-mailed it to myself. It's upside down in Mail (Mac OS X 10.5.8).
I wonder why they made this change?
The only time I checked it prior to iOS4 was with iOS 3.1.3. I sent a friend a bunch of photos taken on my 3GS iPhone at a professional baseball game with various orientations. The only ones that displayed correctly on his PC were those taken horizontally with the home button to the right.
I then used EXIFTool to examine the EXIF data in all of the photos. I also examined my 'sent' folder and found that Thunderbird oriented them exactly the same way as my friends PC, i.e. the EXIF data was not utilized correctly. That lead me to the conclusion I stated above as every one of the photos contained the information necessary to orient the photo properly. All Apple apps I tried and all Adobe apps I tried (I have Lightroom and Design Premium CS5) read the EXIF data and oriented the images properly.
I then sent them to an account I could read in Apple mail and each and every one of them were displayed correctly. Preview also displayed them correctly. iPhoto displayed them correctly.
A photo taken in the portrait mode--with the home key down--is displayed by Thunderbird with the top to the left. This is exactly what I was talking about above, i.e. the photo is stored in landscape mode with the EXIF revealing the proper rotation to apply to get it into the proper orientation. The EXIF in this photo says to 'Rotate 90 CW' which effectively moves the 'top' from the left to the top. This photo again displays correctly in all Apple apps I tried and all Adobe apps I tried.
Think about it. Your statement proved what I said. If the iPhone stores photos as if they were taken in landscape with the home button to the right what would you expect to happen if it was taken with the home button to the left and displayed by this errant app? It would be upside down because the iPhone has been rotated 180 degrees.

Can I send multiple photos on one e mail.

As the title says. Is it possible to send multiple photos on one e mail and if so how?
Many thanks.

There isn't an option for it.

Photo Browser in Apple Mail Just Stopped Working

All of a sudden the Photo Browser in Apple Mail stopped working. Hitting the button or trying to check the box in the Window does nothing. No prior problems.

Photo Browser came back after 2 weeks. No idea why.

Trying to upload some photos to an e-mail an I get a message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." To where do I navigate to unlock this so I can have access to my photo library?

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

Sharing pictures from i photo library via e mail

Hi,
I have troubles sharing photos in my 'i photo' library via e mail. In the past I was able to send e mails with the pictures I selected but suddenly - without making any change - I am no longer able to send messages. Internet is working fine and I can send message from 'mail' but not form 'i photo'.
This is the answer I get (not only now but I tried for several days)
Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later.
Any idea how this can be solved.
Thanks,
Brigitte

Thanks for your suggestions.
1. I deleted and recreated the accounts but still not working. I really like to use is as I am using very often one of the templates. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
2. So far I never sent photos directly from 'mail'. I am really glad you told me. I discovered something new and for sure some of the templates I plan to use very often.

Iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo

iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo this is what it is doing when i go to print and it is driving me mad pleaseeee help

That means your original library is damaged and requires first aid. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How do I crop a 4x6 aspect portrait photo (using the 4x6 built-in) from a landscape photo?

I have Lightroom 2, 2.7.
I have read I can just type "x" while in crop mode, but I get a message "Set as rejected" and nothing helpful happens.
I have a nice landscape photo with two people... I want to take the left half of the photo and make it a vertical/portrait with a 4x6 (exactly... no approximations) ratio, using the settings in the LR crop menu, but every time I use them it flips me back into landscape. X doesn't work. I can manually create a crop box, but what good does that do me if I can't tell if it's 4x6 or grow/shrink it with a locked ratio?
I am using the "Develop" menu, using the crop tool (dashed box), and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this... it's very frustrating. Google searches yield (just press X)... but that doesn't work. Even with aspect unlocked.
Please help!
Thanks,
Andrew

It's a long time since I used 2.7 so this may not be available to you, but...
do your crop options look like the screen grab? (this is v5.3).
If you do have this then click the drop down to the right of 4x6 and you'll find "Enter Custom". If you save an input of 6 x 4 you should have what you want - if I've understood you correctly.

How do I attach photos to an e-mail as an attachment

I am trying to attach a photo to an e-mail from my Yahoo Account, when I click on attachment it does not allow to access the iphotos folder.
I have looked at sending photos direct from iphotos by e-mail and it seems to only allow you to inclue the photographs in the body of the e-mail and not as an attachment??

Hello timbri,
Open iPhoto; select the photo you want to attach, then simply drag it onto the e-mail screen. NOTE: You may have to move your iPhoto window a little in order to expose a portion of your mail screen, but as long as there's a llittle screen showing, you can drop your photo there. You should also see a drop-down menu allowing you to choose the size of the photo frame being sent. I've sent as many as four pix this way. I have os x 10.6.8, so I hope this works for you.

Why does a black triangle appear instead of landscape photos from a shared library

We have an iMac using OSX10.7.5 and running iPhoto 11 v9.4.1.
There are 2 users of the iMac with separate logins. We have an iPhoto library that is user 1 administers and imports photos to, edits photos etc. User 1 can access and see all photos without any problems in thumbnail or large scale/full screen under their login.
When user 2 accesses the photos on the user 2 login, all photos can be seen in thumbnail, but when double clicked to show photos at larger to full screen size, all portrait pictures show ok, but after a first landscape photo sometimes showing, the rest of the landscope photos produce (sometimes) a flash of the picture but then the area of the photo goes black with a warning sign, that is a triangle with an explanation mark appears in the centre of the screen.
If user 2 runs a slideshow, the portrait pictures show up, the screen is black/blank whilst landcsape photos would be shown
A very few landscape photos can be seen and they all appear to be files of less than 1.5mb, but this does not apply to all photos of less than 1.5mb.
The photo library has photos from 2 iPhone 4s, 2 Leica and 2 Nikon cameras of varying sizes. The problem does not seem to be associated with any particular camera.
User 2 (my wife) is very unhappy!
Any help and insights welcome.
Many thanks
Wally

Where is this library located? If it's in the Shared folder then that's probably why you're having problems. But it's usually with permissions, not broken links/file path to the original photo that the exclamation mark is an indication of.
Your best and most trouble free solution is to put the library on an external hard drive that's been formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with owner ship set to be ignored:
You can try the following to fix the problem but be warned that the problme may manifest itself again after some use: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did before.

Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo. It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email. Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.

Attach photos to an e-mail

Is it possible to attach a photo in an e-mail, instead of placing the photo into the e-mail. So when the recipient receives the e-mail the photo(s) is an attachment instead of part of the text in the e-mail?

Whether you add a photo within the body of a message or tack it onto the end it comes to the same thing: it's an attachment in both cases. What happens at the other end is down to the recipient's settings. In most cases their Mail application will be set to display photos; some people may have set it to show them only as an attached file; but in either case there is nothing you can do to affect this, it's entirely up to their settings. As said above, the only way to prevent the photos displaying if their settings have be set to do this is to zip them first.

Mailing photos from iphoto through mail

When I mail photos from iphoto through mail, it sends the picture at very low resolution regardless of the setting I choose (small, medium, large, actual). How can I send photos to others at viewing or even printing quality? Can I resize the pictures to my specifications as I used to be able to do on my PC? Through ACDSee I could resize to 50% which would be small enough to send quickly but still high enough quality for the recipients to view and even print. Thanks!

After iPhoto has created a new Mail message have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the Mail Message window - there's another control there for sizing the pics... try play with that one to find the size you require.
You can access your photos for sending in Mail too. In the New Mail Message Window there's an icon on the toolbar that will show you your iPhoto library.

Slideshow not showing landscape photos

I am exporting a slideshow from iPhoto and it is not including the landscape photos, only the portrait photos. I have deleted iPhoto and re-installed it yet the problem persists. Any ideas?

What is you URL?
How many photo groups do you have in your photo page?
iWeb only allows ONE photo group in photo page, unless you do some post processing, ie: http://hac.i4host.net/una_mas.html
There are four photo groups in that page.
