Photo orientation in Ipad

Hi I'm having problems with the photo orientation in Ipad. In my pictures, I have photos both in portraint and landscape mode. When I sync in Ipad, they are all landscape, the ones in portrait are orientated in landscape. How do I fix this. In my pc picture folder they are at the right orientation, but not in the ipad. Has anyone have this problem? and how do I fix it?

I believe that old versions of Windows (XP and earlier) did not understand the orientation flag that is stored in the EXIF data. Most modern cameras have orientation sensors, and the save the orientation when the photo was taken in the EXIF data for the photo (the EXIF data is metadata that is stored along with the photo data in a jpg file).
Any decent photo browser will understand the EXIF data and will display the photo properly without having to manually rotate the photo. However, if you manually rotate the photo in Windows, the photo data will be rotated, but the orientation flag will not be changed. When the photo is loaded into the iPad, it interprets the marker in the EXIF metadata and rotates the photo a second time.
I'm not sure that this is your problem, but if it is your problem, then the photo is being displayed incorrectly on the PC, and the iPad is displaying it "correctly".
If you think this might be the problem, try installing a program called irfanview on your PC. You can download it at: http://www.irfanview.com
It is a great public domain image viewer program. If you install it, try looking at your photos in irfanview and see if it also rotates your photos like the iPad does.

p.s. I can understand how what is happening must be annoying. The photo will be displayed incorrectly, and as you instinctively rotate the iPad to fix it, it auto-rotates again leaving the photo always in the wrong orientation.
My OS is windows 7. So to fix it, I should rotate my pictures in my pc folder in landscape mode so that in the ipad it will be in portrait? As of right now in my pc folder my landscape pictures is in landscape in ipad but my portrait pictures is also in landscape in ipad. And no matter what I do, the portrait ones are always landscape. I've deleted the ipod photo cache and resynced. And no changed.

Thanks for the information as this helped immensely. I was having the same problem having recently purchased the iPad and using Windows Vista. Made a series of edits in "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to correct the view on my PC by rotating and then loaded into the iPad and they were showing incorrectly. Found a quick solution was to do all the rotations whilst in file manager (i.e. viewing the icons) and not picture editor. Seems this enables them to display correctly on the PC and also go into the iPad correctly. If you actually rotate the pictures whilst editing it doesn't work.

Issues with Photo orientation after syncing IPad

Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the ipad changing the orientation of photos following syncing ipad with itunes. What I have been experiencing is that although the photo is in portrait orientation in iphoto on the imac, this same photo after syncing of the ipad with itunes on this same imac machine, the photo when opened up on the ipad is in landscape orientation. Have consulted with senior advisors at apple but not sure if this is an iphoto problem or an itunes/ipad sync problem? seems to me that whatever the orientation of the photo is in iphoto, that when you sync the ipad the photo should transfer with the same orientation. anyone else having this problem?

There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

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_0061.MOV
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7584570/IMG_0062.MOV
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.

JPEG Rotation and EXIF Orientation
Digital Cameras with orientation sensors allow auto-rotation of portrait images. Unfortunately, support for this feature is not widespread or consistently applied.
Digital Cameras with Orientation Sensors
Many newer digital cameras (both dSLR and Point & Shoot digicams) have a built-in orientation sensor. Virtually all Canon and Nikon 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 (shown in the left side of the diagram in the link above).

Photo Orientation around the Compass

When upgrading to the 3.0 for the iphone, I noticed when viewing photos, the orientation only works to 3 sides. If you viewing in a landscape mode, I can turn my iphone 180º, the photos will flip to match orientation. When viewing in portrait and turn the iphone 180º, the photos will not match orientation.
This is a problem because in earlier versions, photos will orient itself on all 4 sides; east, west, north, and south. And based off of this, I purchased a Speck brand heavy duty iphone case/stand. The stand is located at the top part of the phone, so in order for me to view photos on a stand, in the portrait mode, I have to turn the iphone 180º. This worked in the earlier versions, but with the 3.0 upgrade, my iphone stand is worthless. Please fix.

Slideshow with origami transitions - photo orientation changed

I started playing around with the slideshow, and was happy with the origami transitions until I realized that for a few of my photos, it had rotated the images 90 degrees. They consistently showed up in the wrong orientation as the slideshow cycled through all my images.
Is there a way to specify which is the desired orientation for display in the slideshow for a photo?
And I wasn't messing with the angle of the iPad at all, so it wasn't changing the screen display orientation...
Thanks!

Updating the information regarding photo orientation with AppleTV screen saver.
Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
Hope this is helpful.

Screensaver photo orientation

I love using the random photo screensaver in OS X. I have noticed that some portrait oriented shots appear sideways in the screensaver. When I go to them in the finder, they are correctly oriented, as the EXIF data should encourage. Does the screensaver miss this Nikon D 80 EXIF data?
Thanks, so much!
Sincerely,

Problems with rotating/editing photos trans from ipad to pc

Have been trying to transfer photos taken on ipad to my pc That bit is OK But whether i transfer individually via email or via the photo transfer app the pictures are all rotated automatically in the pc and nothing I have tried will allow me to save any amendments I thought it was because I had uploaded from photostream but have re-uploaded the photos from the photoalbum but still having problems it seems to default to landscape setting Any suggestions for correcting this problems? Thanks

Had the exact problem. Many pictures I took with my iphone or iPad would be rotated in photostream and I could not rotate them back to the correct orientation. I tried emailing them, saving them under a different name, etc. I decided to open the pictures up in Adobe Photoshop. For some reason when it opens in photoshop the picture is oriented correctly. I then clicked on "Save As" from the FILE dropdown menu and saved the picture back to the same folder with the same name with the difference being that I saved it as a JPEG file. It will ask if you want to overwrite the original. Say yes to both the windows that appear. Once it is saved back into the photostream file the picture was corrected. I did this with all of the rotated pictures and they were all fixed. Hope this helps.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

HT204022 Cannot delete photos from new iPad

When I hit edit and then select the photos, the red delete button does not become active to allow me to delete. Any ideas as to what I should do? I just got the new ipad today and restored it to my old ipad 2 via my MacBook. It's like I don't have permission or something. Can't seem to find a way to delete these photos from my ipad.

Where are the photos you are trying to delete?
If they are in the Camera Roll you should be able to delete them on the iPad.
But if they are in albums that were copied to you iPad by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync but before you click on Sync deselect the albums you no longer want on the iPad. Then click on Apply or Sync.

Photos uploaded to iPad sync to PC .iThmb files...how change setting?

I'm surprised that I couldn't find a prior post about this. I bought the adapter that let's you upload photos directly to iPad (which I like a lot - can view/thin/email pics from the road). But when you sync to a PC laptop, it uploads them into my docs as iThmb files. Anyone know if there is either a settings solution to change import type...or software app that will convert a selection of ithmb files jpeg? I don't care about opening them in ithmb and don't want to convert file at a time. someone hipper than me must know how to do this

An .ithmb file is the format used to store pictures on an iPod. There are several applications that can open .ithmb files such as File Juicer and Keith's iPod Photo Reader

TS2755 My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when he come to my iPad 2 inbox, the photos do not show up. Instead I get 20-some characters. What is wrong? Please advise.

My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when they arrive in my inbox on my iPad 2, the photos do not show up. I receive 20-some characters. Please advise as to the problem.

Try sending them via the Messages app as opposed to E-mail.
E-mail shouldn't normally be a problem, but Messages will do as a soloution.
To do so:
. You need iOS 5
1. Go to your Photo Gallery
2. Open up the album/ images you want to send
3. Press the share button (top right hand corner)
4. Select 'Send as Message' (not e- mail)
5. Select your friends Apple ID from your address book for his iPad
6. Voila!
- it's something along those lines...... my iPad is downstairs atm, but the actual way of doing it will be similar...... !

Deleted Photos from iPhone still show up in Photo Stream on iPad: iOS 6

Okay, I've done a lot of searching and can't find any solution for this. I'm on iOS 6 on all devices, so none of the iOS 5.x article / discussions apply.
I have my iPhone 5, my wife has an iPhone 4, we have an iMac, and an iPad 2. Here's the situation. We use iCloud and Photo Stream is enabled on all four devices, and all share a single Apple ID.
I have many photos (let's say 100) I've taken on my iPhone 5 over the last several months, and with Photo Stream enabled, they were automatically copied to all of my other devices. Great. Now, I'd like to delete let's say 20 of those photos. On my iPhone 5, I go to "My Photo Stream" and mark all 20 of them and delete them. I get the pop-up confirmation that they will be deleted from the Photo Stream on all my devices. Great, exactly what I want.
The photos delete from my iPhone 5, my wife's iPhone 4, and my iMac. However, they still appear on my iPad under Photos, Photo Stream, and under Events (September 2012 Photo Stream, October 2012 Photo Stream, November 2012 Photo Stream events). I can not delete them from my iPad.
I have tried:
1. Selecting each photo, there is no option to delete
2. Selecting edit, and then selecting a photo, the delete button is disabled
3. Disabling Photo Stream on my iPad, and rebooting. All photos in "My Photo Stream" on iPad are deleted, but not the photos that were sourced by other devices, they still appear under Photos, Photo Stream, and the monthly Photo Stream events
So... How do I delete these photos from my iPad?
Cheers,
Gouda

Okay, finally figured out what was going on. Positng the solution here in case it might help someone else with a similar problem.
Here's what was happening:
1. iPhone5/iPhone4/iPad/iMac all had iCloud + Photo Stream so Photos were shared
2. iMac was setup with iPhoto to automatically import and save Photo Stream photos
3. iPad was setup to wirelessly sync all albums from iPhoto
So, when photos were shared using Photo Stream to iMac, it would backup to an album in iPhoto, and sync to the iPad. Deleting the original photo on the iPhone would delete the photo from the Photo Stream on all devices, but it had already been added to a permanent album in iPhoto (e.g., "September 2012 Photo Stream"). This album was then automatically synced to the iPad. So, deleteing the photo from Photo Stream would clear it from the iPhones, but not the iPad.
To delete the photos:
1. Delete the photo from "My Photo Stream" in the source device (the device used to take the picture), this will delete it from the active Photo Stream on all devices
2. On the iMac, go into the automatically created monthly Photo Stream events, and delete the photos from there
3. In iTunes, initiate a Sync with the iPad, which will update the syncronized albums/events there, removing the photos on the iPad as well
Hope that's able to help someone in the future...
Cheers,
Gouda

Problem with photo download to iPad mini

I am using the Apple adapter to download photos to my iPad mini using the SD card adaptor and for some reason not all for checked photos available to be downloaded. There seems to no pattern as to which photos it choses not to download

If you go to Settings->Cellular Data you can turn off the cellular functionality of your iPad there.
