Photo emailed upside down

When I email a photo, the people who I emailed stated that the photo is upside down. How do you correct?

Very sorry to disapoint you but I totally disagreed. Forefront for Apple doesn't mean breaking standard rules which is not a Windows problem as the web doesn't necessarely look for a flag to rotate an image.
You have to understand that actually this flag called EXIF is nothing more than a lazy work from the Apple developpers to not rotate the pixel as it should be viewed by any kind of viewer around the world without having them to look for the flag.
The proof is out there. Why so many people are complaning ? Do you have the answer to that since you seem to know it so well ?
It indeed have everything to do with Apple and they should send the image the right way for any kind of software around the world to see the image as it was taken end of speech for me and hope you understand my point of view else you have a wall in front of you and there's nothing I can do to help you destroy that wall.

Photo orientation upside down since ios8 update

This is odd... since the ios8 update, my 5s has started taking photos upside down. They appear correct in the 'viewfinder', but in my 'recently added' they are inverted. While taking the photo, the top bar (which contains the flash settings, HDR, timer and front/back camera switcher) is also upside down. Is this a known issue since the update? Here's a photo of what I mean - and although it looks like the photo in the thumbnail is right-side up, when it is opened, the photo is upside-down.

Same here with iPhone 6
I've noticed that the first picture I take is OK...it's all the subsequent pics that are upside down. If I leave the camera app then come back to it...same thing....first pic is OK and all the rest are upside down. You can tell before you even take the pic...the flash text (on/off/auto) on the top of the screen will be upside down

HT201317 Why do my photos turn upside down when I send them as an email? Garry

Why do my photos come out upside down when I send them via email?
Garry

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why arrive my photo's upside down, sent from my. Photo gallery from my ipad?

When I send a photo to somebody with a PC they receive the photo upside down.
Does anybody know why?

Since the iPad has no real positioning, you can take a photo from any position. However the camera does have an up and down reference. so if you rotate the iPad the camera may end up side down or on its side. And as such the picture will end up like that too.
The iPad embeds a special instruction to each picture to tell any App that opens it the proper orientation of the picture. If the App used to open does not support the instruction it simply won't rotate it.
You can rotate it manually in an image editor, or yes as you found out take the picture with the proper orientation of the iPad.

TS2972 I am using Apple TV to wirelessly access photos from a folder on my desktop computer, but when I view them on my TV, some of the photos are upside down and sideways, even though I have flipped, cropped them, and saved them on my desktop. Help!

But they sometimes show up sideways or uspided down when viewing them on my tv, even thogh I have flipped and saved them in my desktop folder. How can I view them in the same format as I have them saved in my computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try editing them in a different photo program.

Can I send photo via email not upside down?

When I take photos on my iPhone 4s using the +volume button and then email them or synchronize with windows xp, photos are upside-down.

You can't forget about exif, that's why it's there.
I didn't mean it that way. I meant forget about EXIF for a moment and realise that the iphones 'upright position' is with the volume buttons on the bottom, but now that Apple want you to use the volume button, the camera is now upside down. Now, with the majority of iphone users, they're not using top end cameras and software, they're taking pictures and video of their kids - with the volume button - and sending it to grandma and grandpa - straight from the phone, either by mms or email - and they're receiving them upside down.
Yes, everyone should get with the EXIF program, but Apple should've also thought about which orientation they're default setting is, especially now that they've flipped it and changed the way we take pictures and video.
I have to admire your tenacity with this issue. Tempted as I might be to so something dismissive like "Things change, get over it" Lets look ahead to what might, in the future, provide what you want.
As it is now, given the processing power and memory of the iPhone 4S, Apple has been able to provide a wonderfully acceptable picture taking performance, good enough to even support the "Burst Mode" taking of a sequence of pictures very rapidly.
Perhaps, with the iPad 2S ( or iPad 3 as it may be called) there may be enough of an increment of hardware resources to provide in camera processing between shots. Even if they did provide that for still images, think about how much processing power would be needed to do an in camera reorientation of a large video file.
Realistically, this is a trade off in resource use that is unlikely to be possibe with even the next hardware generation beyond, the iPhone 5 or the iPad 4. Why would I say that? Because none of the high priced DSLR cameras attempt in camera processing. manipulating large matrices of pixels in a DSLR or an iPhone or an iPad is way beyond reason.
The bottom line is that if you share phots with folks whose computer is so old that they are still happily using Microsoft IE 6 ( for example) they are unlikely to even think of getting an upgrade to their video viewing software that is EXIF aware.
That leaves the onus on you and I to routinely do a "Save As...." operation on our video and still images, on our own computers, before we send them out to the older aunts and grannies of our families.
Suppose, Apple were to suddenly flip the relationship of the picture upright position and the volume button. Then you would have the millions of newer users suddenly as disturbed as you are. Apple is in a no win situation.
At my age (76) after decades of Mac support work starting in the days of my long departed Apple Lisa computer, I have come to accept the reality that "Things change, so I might as well get over it"
Your mileage may vary.
With kindest regards, and genuine compassion for your position.

How to make iCloud photostream show upside down photos in correct orientation

My question is related to iPhone 5s/iOS 7.1.2, Camera.app, iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) for Mac, iCloud shared Photostream.
I have taken photos with iPhone 5s upside down (using volume buttons, i.e. Home button on the left) and loaded them on my Mac (MacBook Pro 15” mid 2012 with OS X 10.9.4 with iPhoto). I copied the photos from the iPhoto photostream into iPhoto library in an album of their own and rotated the upside photos in the correct orientation. Then I shared the photos in iCloud and the photos which I had roated to correct orientation where once again upside down. And when I drag&drop the photo (which has the corrected orientation) from iPhoto library album into a Finder folder the photo is once again upside down when I open it with Preview.
I have a notion that all Apple software on Mac shows correctly the iPhone upside photos (because it reads the photo metada) and practically all non-Apple software both on Mac and PC doesn’t use iPhone photos’ metadata and show the photos upside down.
Is there any way to make iCloud show the shared photos in correct orientation in the browser without rotating the photo with external application in iPhoto or is there a bug in iCloud or is the iPhoto rotation a "fake rotation"? I want to ensure that people with whom I share the photos, see it always in the correct orientation (no matter what the platform is) so that they don’t have to struggle with rotating of the stuff and I don’t have to take extra steps to rotate the upside down photos outside iPhoto.
N.B. 1: I understand that in the future I always have to shoot photos and videos with iPhone Home-button on the rigth side (i.e. volume buttons pointind down). My question is related to the photos I have already taken.
N.B. 2: I just learned that when I rotate the photo with Preview, throw it back into iPhoto library album and then add the rotated photo in the shared stream, it is in the correct orentation in iCloud. However, I want to avoid this extra step

That's the answer to your question. Why is it you want to avoid this?
Because it is an extra step. So, I already rotated the photo with iPhoto's rotation functionality, but the rotated photo is upside down in iCloud photostream. I think it should stay rotated when shared in iCloud. The other problem is that if I forgot to rotate the photo before sharing it in photostream, I have to delete the photo from the photostream and add a rotated version from the iPhoto library in photostream and now the order of the photos is incorrect. iCloud adds the last shared photo as the first photo in the stream. At least I haven't found a way to place the new photo in its original (the correct) palce in the stream.

In Mavericks iPhoto slide shows, why do the last pics come first, some pics are upside down, and some vertical pics are horizontal? How can I fix this?

On my iMac OSX, 10.9.4, Mavericks, I have been trying to view an album as a slide show. The slide show starts at the end (bottom row picture) instead of the beginning (top 1st picture). I have gone to View>Sort Photos>Manual. But the order of Ascending and Descending choices are greyed out with the default check by Ascending. How can I start at my beginning without rearranging all the photos? Also, some of the photos are upside down and sideways, even though they are correct in the album. How can I fix this?? Thank you! Also, can I include a video in the slide show? Up to how many seconds/minutes?

Is this a slideshow created directly from an album?
There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually. Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.
Send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

When I take a picture it saves it upside down

help, it always saves it in my photo album upside down.

In my case I take HD video with an Apple iPhone 4S and an iPad 2. These cameras can be just as easily oriented in any of four orientations by hand, or in various iPhone or iPad holders for mounting on a tripod. As long as I stay with Apple or Adobe products for my whole video handling process, I have no problem with software support for orientation
While there are countless software programs available today that display JPEG images, only a subset of them actually interpret the EXIF Orientation flag. Just like color management, many programs simply display the JPEG image as it is stored, and completely ignore any extra details stored in the file's metadata. The most important of these additional details is the Orientation flag, stored in the JPEG APP1 marker under EXIF IFD0.
More explanation of this is in the text below.
Briefly, Apple is doing it right, with their iPhone 4S and iPad 2, the way most High end video cameras do it. And they made sure that their apps looked at the appropriate flag to rotate the image before showing it. To understand this look at this site:
http://www.impulsead...rientation.html
This is a site that explains the whole deal. Apple and Adobe are looking at the flags for image rotation. Plex,and many others are not doing so. VLC for instance, DropBox is anpther example, Thunderbird is another example, the list is long.
Many newer digital cameras (both dSLR and Point & Shoot digicams) have a built-in orientation sensor. Virtually all Canon andNikon digital cameras have an orientation sensor. The output of this sensor is used to set the EXIF orientation flag in the image file's metatdata to reflect the positioning of the camera with respect to the ground. Canon calls their sensor the "Intelligent Orientation" sensor. It is presumably a 2-axis tilt sensor, allowing 4 possible orientations to be detected. The paragraphs below are taken from that wonderfully illustrated link.
Auto-rotation in Digital Cameras
While your digital camera may include an option to "auto-rotate images" due to the camera's orientation, this is almost always just a "virtual rotation". A flag is set to indicate to the viewing software / LCD preview which way to rotate the image before display, rather than rotating the image content itself.
As lossless image rotation is a fairly compute-intensive operation, digital cameras are not likely to include true lossless rotation after capturing the photo. The CCD/CMOS sensor hardware is designed to stream raw data in a particular direction (e.g. rows then columns), and so it may be hard to incorporate true auto-rotation in-camera without a performance impact to continuous shooting (frames per second).

When i send a photo taken on ipad it appears upside down at addressees but fine on ipad email

when i forward a photo taken on ipad it appears upside down to addressees but fine on my ipad email as a cc copy?

Here are links to four short MOV files showing the four orientations for the iPhone 4S. I had to upload them to DropBox for you as all of my available Cloud based mail programs choked on saving or sending these little video files.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7584570/IMG_0063.MOV
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7584570/IMG_0064.MOV
I usually record hockey games in Landscape mode with the Home Button of the iPhone on the left side with the screen facing me. That is the mov file IMG_0063.MOV
Apple's QuickTime Player displays it correctly, while the VLC player, which ignores exif flags plays it upside down. So does the Plex Media streamer ignore the flag, so does the thunderbird mail app ignore the flag, and so on. Adobe looks at the exif flags so they get it right.
My movies are of four Post It Notes, each one describing the location of the Home Button. Take a series of four pictures oriented like my test MOV files , then take 4 short MOV files of the same iPhone orientation. If the results are "misoriented" then the software you are using to look at them is ignoring the orientation flages.

You need to clarify your statement/question a little bit more. What device are using to take the photo? I assume that you are using your iPad, but I don't know that for a fact because you simply say "whenever I take a picture". I also assume that you are using the built in mail app and not a third party mail app, but can't say for sure about that either without more details from you.
When I take a photo with the iPad, if I attach/insert a photo in an email directly in the mail app, the photo defaults to the actual size, which is the highest resolution that it can be. The size of the photo can be made smaller, but it defaults to the largest size.

When sending a photo from my iPad with an email, the receiver gets the photo upside down. Why is this and what can I do to correct the error please?

I venture to say the recipient is a Windoze user and if so, state of the art Windoze ignores or doesn't recognize photo orientation data that is included with a photo's EXIF data.
There are 3rd party photo viewing apps that provide for this but not incorporated with Microsoft software.

IPhone 5, emailed photos or videos to pc appear upside down

Emailing photos or videos taken with my iPhone5, about half the time the photos or videos appear upside-down or sideways on pc's using Outlook, though this never happens in email on other Apple devices. This occurs on many different types of pc's. Any suggestions or explanations?

Probably a problem with MS Outlook. I have seen that before using outlook. Never have that problem using any other mail program.
