Location photo was taken

I need to transfer photos from my iPhone to external storage (e.g. Dropbox) when I'm travelling. If I later upload them to iPhoto from there will the location where the photo was taken still be available?

Great thanks JimHdk. Travelling for an extended period so the location of the pics is important to me and I didn't want to take any action I couldn't undo later!

  • On iPhone 6, How do I display the date, time, and location where a photo was taken

    On my previous iPhone (4S), I used the "Info' option in iPhoto to see where and when a photo was taken. I have a new phone (iOS 8.3) and iPhoto is not supported, so I have to use the Photos app. I cannot figure out how to see where and when a photo was taken in the Photos app. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

    Hello there, marklewis.
    When wanting to find location information of photos on your iOS device in iOS 8, the online User Guide provides some great information for how to search:
    View photos and videos - iPhone
    View by location. While viewing by year or by collection, tap . Photos and videos that include location information appear on a map, showing where they were taken.
    While viewing a photo or video, tap to show and hide the controls. Swipe left or right to go forward or backward.
    Search photos. From Albums or Photos, tap to search by date (month and year), or place (city and state). Search also keeps your Recent Searches on hand and gives you a list of suggested searches.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • IPhoto - sort images my date photo was taken (metadata)

    The Sort by Date Photo functunality in iPHOTO appears to be flawed.
    I opened up my photos in Photoshop, and looked at the METADATA for when the photos were taken.
    When I sorted them "By Date" in iPHOTO, they looked in an odd order.
    Then I figured it out.
    They were sorted by the "date" THEY WERE MODIFED IN PHOTOSHOP (the date stamp on the file).
    This has nothing to do with the date the photo was taken (in the metadata), which is what most photographers would be interested in.
    How do you get iPHOTO to actually sort event photos by the DATE the photo was TAKEN?

    Were these photos edtied by PS outside of iPhoto and imported or from within iPhoto with PS as the external editor of choice? Are they jpeg format?
    No matter if I edit outside of iPhoto or from withing iPhoto the files are sorted by the EXIF Capture date.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Printing the date photo was taken Elements 8

    Yes I have searched and found one entry about PSE5 but wasn't my question. When I print a photo and select the "More Options" button and then select "Show Date", I get the current date along with current GMT time. I just want the date the photo was taken in the bottom margin, the way it is done in Lightroom 1.3.1. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? How do I make this happen?

    The only work around in PSE8 is to double click on an image in the Organizer and then type the capture date information that is automatically displayed in the bottom left; into the caption field. Then select caption in the print dialog instead of date. It’s not ideal but it works.

  • How to add a new metadata field to iPhoto where new field is calculated as age in years and month based on a specific date and the date photo was taken ? I want to calculate and display the age of my two kids on every photo.

    Hi
    How can I add 2 new metadata-fields to every photo in iPhoto ?
    The new fields should state the age of my kids in years and months based on the date that they were born and the date that photo is taken.
    Exampel:
    My son is born 01.01.2010
    My daughter is born 01.01.2012
    Photo taken by data
    Aage of son
    Aage of daughter
    01.07.2011
    1 year 6 month
    not born yet
    01.01.2014
    4 year 0 month
    2 year 0 month
    I would like to be able to search by kids age and get the info displayed when doing slideshows.
    How to do this in iPhoto ?
    Any alternatives to accomplish the same ?
    Kind regards

    It can't be done with iPhoto.  There are some DAM (digital asset management) applications that can write to other IPTC fields that iPhoto can't read. One such app is Media Pro 1.
    However you would have to calculate the age for each date and add it to one of the fields. There are online age calculators that can do that for you: Age Calculators
    If you go thru that much trouble then use iPhoto, make the calculations and add the age to the Description field.  Then you can use Smart Albums to search for 1year 6 month text.

  • I'm losing date photo was taken when exporting from Lightroom.

    The photo taken date is being replaced with the date that I'm processing the photo with Lightroom.  The photos I'm currently working with were taken over 10 years ago with an early generation Olympus digital camera.  Does this have anything to do with my problem?  I must be doing something incorrectly, can anyone give me advice.  T

    Rob - I am working with old images from an early generation digital camera but yes the image capture date does show correctly in Lightroom for most of these images.  However, I just realized thinking about your question that some of the photos could be scanned from a film image and do not how a capture date in Lightroom.  The exif data is entirely different for these.  The photo processors I used in those days were providing a CD along with the negatives / prints so I may have just answered my own question.  Thanks for the questions and help to both.

  • How to see location where iphone video was taken on iphoto

    I have videos and pictures downloaded on iphoto taken with my iphone. Can I see the location where they were taken in iphoto on my iMac? THX

    In iPhoto you can see a map with your photos on it by clicking on the "Places" icon in the left panel.
    If you want to see the location for a specific photo, find the photo in iPhoto, select it, and press comman-I (or mouse-over the lower right corner and click on the 'i' icon that appears). A panel will apear that shows the photo name, date it was take, and location.
    One thing to keep in mind, the Photo app on the iPhone will only record the GPS location where the photo was taken if all of these is true: the iPhone has Location Services enabled (Settings > Location Services), the Location Services switch for Photo is set to on (Settings > Location Services) and the phone can determine its location (if you are in a cavern taking pictures, it's not going to be able to receive signals from the GPS satellites to figure out where it is).
    If no GPS coordinates are recorded in the photo, you can use iPhoto to specify the location where the photo was taken after you import it from your camera.

  • Copying photos from iPhotos to an external hard drive, changes the dates the photo was created

    I have the odd query where when I copy photos from iPhoto in to any other folder, whether it's on the mac deskstop or an external hard drive, that the 'date created' on the some of the photos is changed from the date the photo was actually taken to some random date. This is sometimes the date that I move the photos and sometime a date seemingly randomly selected between the date when the photo was taken and then date I copied the photos.
    It doesn't make a different if I copy or cut and paste each file, and if I select all photos from a single event and copy then all in one go, some photos keep the correct data and others don't.
    Most of these photo of of my baby, so the exact date take is very important ofr reference. Current I have a 100 odd photos taken over a few weeks all with the same 'created date'. I have no idea if she was 10 week or 20 weeks old at the time.
    Any ideas? It's really frustrating me.

    No
    iPhoto never does anything with a photo that is not in its library
    Although it does not affect this do you have a default managed library or a (strongly not recommedned) referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

  • Is it possible to organize photos into years that the photo were taken?

    Is it possible to organize groups of photos by the year that the photo was taken (in the same way as the old iPhoto 6)?

    With newer versions of iPhoto you can use the serarch function at the bottom and select year to view all the photos of a specific year:
    Use the forward and back arrows to get to the year you want.  Click on the year to get all photos for that year.  Click on a month to get the photos in just that month:

  • Mac Changes Date Picture was Taken? Why? Fix?

    Please excuse this question if it has been addressed before. I did a search in the forums and didn't find an appropriate answer.
    I am a new user to the Mac Pro. I am coming from a Dell, Windows XP. I use Outlook and Gmail (different addresses) for email (both in the Windows environment and now in the OS X environment too).
    On my Dell, when I receive a photo as an attachment and save it to my HDD, I can put my cursor over the photo (rollover) and the date the photo was taken will pop up.
    On my Mac Pro, when I receive a photo as an attachment and save it to my HDD (pictures folder), the OS changes the date the photo was taken to the date the photo was saved.
    Currently, to solve this issue, I am pulling the photos into my Dell so I have the dates preserved but I would REALLY like to be able to just save the photos on my Mac Pro and have the "photo taken" dates not change.
    I have tried saving the photos individually and I have tried using the Save All feature, I get the same results either way. I am not viewing the photo attachments before saving them, as soon as I receive them, I save them and then I go to view them (the pictures are from my sons who are currently in South America, not that it matters).
    So, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Cliff Watson

    Thank you for directing me to the Show Inspector feature. Now I know I don't HAVE to save the pictures on my Dell first to preserve the date.
    Now, you know when you give someone an inch they want a mile?
    Is there a way to view the exif data or use the Inspector feature without having to open each picture individually?
    Thank you again, this is a huge help!

  • I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  Please help!

    I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.   I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto.  I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported.  I greatly appreciate some assistance!

    All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
    The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.

  • Calender feature in Journals picks up the day photo uploaded to ipad, not when it was taken.

    So, I was playing around with iPhoto on my iPad, I made a photo journal,  and I put a calender beside a photo, but suprisinly, the calender showed the date the photo was UPLOADED onto my ipad, not when it was taken, which was around october in 2011.
    So, did this happen to you? if it did, please comment and say it did, knowing that it's something wrong with iPhoto, not my device.
    and for an answer, I'd be happy with apple's email for iPhoto, or a link taking me to a thread that talks about the problem.
    Thanks!

    oh my god I am so dumb, I checked the picture closest to the calender which was taken in august, but the calender took the other pics, which was JPEG format, that's weird, wonder when it got turned into JPEG, oh well, IGNORE THIS QUESTION, can't belive I'm so dumb....
