Photo Orientation on Windows platforms

I am so sick of flipping and turning my pictures every time I transfer them to my pc. Is Apple going to address this issues anytime soon?

As I said, the orientation of photos is set in the EXIF data of the photo itself. Whatever you use to view the photo, whether it be Windows Explorer or some other program, should obey the orientation data and display the photo whichever way up it was taken.
Picasa for Windows is written correctly and shows photos correctly. It is Windows that ignores the EXIF data, and as Microsoft make Windows, who else's problem could it be?

TS4180 Issues correcting photo orientation using Windows Photo Gallery

Photos downloaded from iPhone 4 to PC running Windows 7 can't be saved after editing (ie. rotation). Message: "This photo can't be saved because of a problem with the photo's file properties." When I close that dialog box, another comes up with the message giving the error code: 0x80070057 saying that the photo can't be saved. Someone suggested opening the photo in Paint and saving it as a jpeg file, but my photos are already in jpeg format. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks...

As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
Best of luck.

I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

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.

Photo orientation with AppleTV

Hello all
I have been having some problems with photo orientation in AppleTV screen saver and in viewing the iPhoto library on AppleTV. I did all the usual things, restarted the Apple TV, restarted computer, etc. What was really strange was the photos I had changed rotation in iPhoto were all good. It was AppleTV which wasn't seeing them as 'corrected' images. What AppleTV was doing, was seeing the original photos, rather than the edited versions (the correctly oriented photos).
What I had to do was go to the original source of the photo. So I had to click on the photo, then go to File, see original file. The original file was still in the incorrect position. Once I opened this in preview and corrected it, it seemed to work. Will keep you posted. What is also interesting to note is that AppleTV was having problems with the original picture files of photos taken with a camera, rather than with the iPhone. There seems to be a bug here about how the AppleTV sees original and corrected files when the photos are taken with a digital camera.
Keen to know what others have found.
Happy AppleTV travels everyone.

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?

Which OS are you using?
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.
Ron
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.

IPod Photo 60G and Windows problems

I am unable to connect my Photo 60G iPod to my current computer.
I can connect it successfully to my laptop, so I know that the fault is not with the iPod or the iPod cord. I can connect my daughter's rather elderly 10G iPod to this current machine successfully, so I know it isn't this computer or the iTunes software.
What I can not do is connect the 60G iPod. When I do, the iPod gets the 'Do Not Disconnect' icon going but then computer usually freezes before opening iTunes and I can only sort it out by shutting off the machine. If I open iTunes first and then connect it, the iPod does not show up and sometimes the 'Do Not Connect' icon comes on and sometimes it doesn't.
If I leave iTunes closed, attach the iPod and then try to access it via the iPod updater in the Programs menu, it either freezes the machine as above or it gives an error message saying I need to restore my iPod (which I clearly don't, as not only is it working perfectly, it also connects fine to the laptop.) In all these instances, if I try to eject it from the USB port by clicking on the icon in the tray to bring up the 'eject safely' box, it will bring up the initial box and then freeze before bringing up the second confirmation box. In all these freezes, it ties up the machine so badly I have to turn it off at source. It will not even allow me to close down using Task Manager.
The iPod does generally show up in Windows, if I get that far and it doesn't freeze the machine before. Often it will then freeze the machine if I try to look at it in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.
I have done the following things to resolve the problem:
1) Completely removed iTunes and the iPod Updater (numerous times), cleared out all their crap from the seven zillion places it goes on the machine, and re-installed cleanly using only the most up-to-date downloaded versions of both (plus, of course, have also tried the old versions, just in case.) In all instances, my daughter's small iPod works and mine doesn't.
2) Tried the iPod on every single one of the USB ports on the machine, just in case one wasn't working. (They all are.)
3) Followed the instructions on these two pages on this site to resolve the problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
4) I searched Google Groups, where I found a reference to one problem I was having with the iPod updater which said it could be traced to an issue stemming ultimately from Apple's lack of understanding of the Windows platform and that the software couldn't cope with multiple drives or things not being on the C: drive. I do have my hard disk partitioned and formatted as drives C and D with everything defaulting to D. I would have expected Apple to have fixed this problem by now, as the was in March, so I made sure I have only the latest software, but this hasn't made any difference. I also tried specifically installing it to the C section of my drive but this didn't make any difference either. I suspect this may be a red herring, as if it were a genuine issue, I wouldn't expect my daughter's iPod to work either.
I don't want to be confined to only downloading music to my laptop, which is very old and slow and has a small hard disk. The problem seems to be very specific to the iPod 60G and I'm trying to figure out how it is different from the smaller iPod my daughter has and how to resolve it.
Any suggestions?

The battery will not charge eithger. I have left it in a computer and ab outlet charger both for 1 hour, but no juice is going to the iPod. Is the cord dead? Or is the battery messed up? What is going on?

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!

Why Photoshop will not give you the opportunity to download for either Windows platform or Mac.

Hello, My husband spent all day waiting to talk to someone at Photoshop, to speak with them, while he is mostly bed bound now, on a feeding tube in his stomache, and is awaiting a surgury to keep him alive. He will be even more bed ridden afterwards. As always, and the complex health issues, he also could pass.
He was crying by the time he tried to explain his story of need.
You see, he has been using Phtoshop for many years, heavily invested, for his photo's and work. His Power Mac G5 crashed, we could not afford another, and he had just purchased CS5. So we could only afford the IMac now, we again needed to upgrade to CS6. The install alows you to use it on two computers, a computer and laptop.
We tried explaining to the sales people when he finally got through, that we need an install for just a Windows laptop, we can not afford another Mac, we need a laptop for him in bed, if he will be able to do anything, he wants to work on his art.
They, Photoshop, were very unsimpethtic, we just purchased an upgrade for CS6, because of the IMac, yet, now we can not install and use our second choice on a Windows platform. Again, we would need to pay full upgrade price again. Yet, he only has it installed on Imac, they told him he would have to de-actiate it, WHICH, I ALSO HELP HIM IN HIS WORK, WE KEEP COPIES ON A EXFAT32 harddrive too, and Mac, to share and show clients.
The people of Photoshop did not even care he is dying, litterly, slowly,,, but he is keeping positive that all will be well, and survive.
Timothy and Marcia Cannon
we will no longer be a coustomer for Adobe.

Thank you, but you see, it needs to be on the Macintosh for me, and he is getting a PC, Windows laptop donated to him to use. You should have an option, as with many software providers do, Windows or Mac/Apple platform. We will only be using theses two computers, and stated in their agreement, two computers are allowed, our printer allows it, many softwares allow this.
He will need this "work" inspiration while recuperating, many years he has used their product. And now, he is going to be constant in bed, where as I can also help with the IMac.

Currently Being Moderated Re: Photo orientation in Ipad
2010-09-29 05:55 (in response to socalspartanrunner)
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.

Audit Vault Installation problem on windows platform

Hello!
I'm trying to install Audit Vault 10.2.2 on windows platform. The installation procedure is successfull (there are no alerts about errors during installation). The enterprise manager is working at http://localhost:1158/em without any problem.
The installation guide says that audit vault console should work at http://localhost:5700/av, but this site is unreachable.
I tried to find out the problem, so I started avctl show_av_status
The result is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Invalid Oracle JDBC url
at oracle.av.avca.Commandarguments.setOracleProperties (Commandarguments.java:281)
at oracle.av.avca.Commandarguments.processArguments(CommandArguments.java:667)
at oracle.av.avca.Avctl.startCTL(Avctl.java:70)
at oracle.av.avca.Avctl.main(Avctl.java:318)
(avctl start_av results the same problem)
Could you help me to solve this problem? Please!

I'd like to help you but it seems to me, from the perspective of the purpose of Audit Vault, that putting a secure repository on top of an insecure operating system is a non sequitur.
Thus all of my installs have been on Oracle Enterprise Linux and I've never seen any installation-related issues such as you are reporting.
If you can I would suggest getting, as they say, "a real operating system."
Performance will improve, hardware utilization will improve, security will improve, and as an additional advantage, this issue will disappear.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.
