Photo orientation wrong when synched back to iPhone

Hi,
I take photos on my iPhone, then I put them into a folder and I keep that folder synched to the iPhone. That folder contains other photos from my Nikon cameras too.
Mostly all the photos I take on the iPhone are in the portrait orientation (1200x1600).
Unfortunately the portrait iPhone photos show up rotated incorrectly when synched back to the iPhone. When I turn the iPhone, it rotates the photo but it is still wrong.
I tried putting these photos into iPhoto and synching to an album...they then show up with the right orientation. But, I don't use iPhoto, I use Bridge/Photoshop, so this isn't really a good work around.
Anyone have a simple way to fix this?
Thanks!

There is definitely something wrong (and MikeIPS' explanation that "there is no bug or flaw here" doesn't hold water, there are flags for orientation and they are being mistranslated somewhere in the process)...
1. With iPhone in vertical position I took a picture of a vertical letter size print and it appears vertical on iPhone when viewing.
2. Imported this picture into iPhoto, it appears vertical. Quit iPhoto and opened in Preview it appears vertical.
3. Deleted original from iPhone, dragged imported version from iPhoto folder into my "sync pictures" folder and exported back to iPhone, now it's rotated 90 on the iPhone.
4. Since I never edited or saved photo in either iPhoto or Preview, then it seems likely that the orientation flag is being changed during sync either upon upload or download.
5. Next in Preview I selected image in imported version and copied and pasted into new photo in Preview, uploaded newly created file to iPhone and it is still rotated.
6. Throughout this process, when doing a "Get Info" in Preview, the Orientation flag(s) shows 6. If you "Save As" in Preview to PNG it completely strips orientation info and PNG file uploads with correct vertical orientation. If you "Save As" TIFF it changes the orientation flag to a 1 and it uploads with correct vertical orientation. I stopped at this point because I wasn't doing an exhaustive analysis and only wanted to fix orientation on this one photo.
I should note that the weird orientation has only happened a few times, which lends further credence to the theory that it is happening during transfer. I rarely move photos back and forth, so this isn't a huge issue to me. If I did use this feature extensively, I would use the Automator and create an action that took the batch and in Preview resaved them in a file format that was as nondestructive to the image as possible. Until Apple fixes this issue, at least with the information I have provided you, you have a way to resolve the issue without resorting to having to buy any third party apps.
p.s. If this ever happens to MikeIPS I would suggest he used the Automator as well, but since Vista doesn't have one, it wouldn't do him any good.

    how do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

    Hi MrRhea,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • 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.

  • Portrait photo orientation issue when viewed in slideshow

    I have experienced this problem since first upgrading to 8.0. I have upgraded to 8.02, but this problem persists.
    Most (but not all) of my portrait photos display incorrectly during slideshows (but display correctly otherwise). The pictures are rotated 90 degrees and are squished vertically and stretched horizontally. The result are pictures that fill a portrait oriented "frame" but are sideways, squat and stretched width-wise.
    As near as I can tell, all my photos that I took with my digital cameras (all Canons of various models) have this problem, while only some photos I have received from friends have this issue. Perhaps it is an issue with iPhoto reading Canon's orientation flag? But why is it only a problem in slideshows?
    I'm uncertain if this is relevant, but I've also noticed none of my portrait photos display properly when viewed via Front Row.
    So far the only trouble shooting ideas I've been able to think of are:
    1 - Remake my slideshows from scratch
    2 - Rebuild my photo library.
    Neither of these fixed my problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Try quitting iPhoto and trashing your iPhoto preferences file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> con.apple.iPhoto.plist) when you launch iPhoto a new default one will be created - reset any user preferences you have changed and repoint iPhoto to the library if you have moved it

  • So I had pictures in an album called photo library and when i backed up my iphone to my computer, the pictures disappeared from my phone. They were pictures that had originally been transferred from my blackberry to my iphone

    I had pictures that I transferred from my blackberry to my iphone and they were in an album labeled photo library. my phone needed to be replaced so I backed it up to my computer and now my photos are gone. The camera roll pictures are still there but my 800 photos from my blackberry are gone. does anyone know where i can recover them from? are they gone forever? any help would be much appreciated. thank you

    I transferred my photos (I cant recall how i did) from my old blackberry to my new iphone.
    Okay.
    i also imported the photos to iphoto but it was only the pictures from the last six months (camera roll).
    Okay.
    I dunno if this information is useful but the photos im trying to recover were in an album called photo library and they were permanent and couldnt be edited or deleted on the iphone.
    These photos were never on your Mac. iPhoto only imports from the Camera Roll. You'd have needed to use a 3rd party app to get any other photos from your phone.

  • When we backed up iphone on new computer all photos, apps were lost.  how can we get them back?

    When I tried to back up my phone on itunes, on a new computer, somehow I lost all of my photos, apps, everything.  I have no clue how to retrieve them or if I accidentally deleted them when I restored the phone.  Can anyone help me?

    If you backed up the device, you should be able to recover it from the backup unless you somehow deleted the backup.  See if it isn't recognized by iTunes, then restore it from backup.

  • Error 42003 when synching apps to iphone

    Aargh!
    I am trying to sync my songs on my iPhone 4, but I can't get past the apps sync. iTunes complains that "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone 'My iPhone'. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store?"
    When I attempt to authorize my computer (which was authorized the last time I sync'ed my phone a week or two ago), I get the message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42003). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    I also get this error when I try to listen to a song in iTunes that I had purchased from the Apple store.
    I have no trouble accessing the Apple store through iTunes. My account shows that I have 4 computers authorized for my account (5 is the max, right?).
    I have double-checked the user id - it is the same one that shows in the app's "Get Info" (it's the same one I have always used). If I enter the wrong password, I get a password error, not the 42003 error.
    I did everything in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 and still have the problem.
    I have tried to de-authorize/authorize my computer from the iTunes/Store menu, but that also gives the -42003 error.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, and reinstalled iTunes -- still have the problem.
    I have run iTunes/Help/Run Diagnostics and all the tests passed.
    Naturally, this all happened 4 days after my 3 month iPhone warranty expired, so I can't talk to a real support person unless I want to pay them $29 for their unknown error. And one of the times I was trying to solve the problem, I accidentally clicked the "Don't authorize" button and iTunes DELETED MY ANGRY BIRDS APP!! Of all my apps, the only one that had any data I cared about is the only one that got deleted! My apologies for shouting, but I am so frustrated I could cry!!

    I just updated to iTunes 10.2, and the authorization issue has magically gone away (note that Apple released iTunes 10.2 on 2011/03/02, but iTunes did not notify me of the update; I just happened to check for myself in a last ditch effort to resolve this problem). Not a very comforting solution, but at least Apple is now letting me have my duly purchased songs and apps back.
    For future reference, this was actually a problem that I could have reported via email -- I apparently chose poorly when going down the online help path. Instead of considering this an iPhone issue, I should have gone to Support -> iPod+iTunes -> iTunes. Then, under "Get Customer Service," select "Authorization" -> "Troubleshoot authorization problems" -> "Tunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases". From there, you can send an email for support.

  • My photos wont rotate when i turn my iPhone 6.

    Also when i take a picture with the phone sideway, the picture stays sideway in my galley instead of showing it straight.
    I think this started since i updated to 8.3.1.
    Anyone else have this problem? Its pretty annoying since i do alot of photo editing with photo apps.
    Pages on internet and movies on youtube wont turn either.

    Hi Daluci,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like orientation lock has been enabled on your iPhone 6. Check out the following resource for more information:

  • Page Orientation wrong when Paper Width is greater than Height

    This is ridiculous.  I have been trying to get this bug fixed for a very long time.  I was told it was fixed in FP2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, and now 2.9.  See topic:  Custom Paper Size & Orientation Problem.  Other topics also talk about this problem.
    I purchased a support issue (order 4239646711) to get help back in March 2010.  I believe it was closed as fixed in 2.6 without a programmer ever seeing it.  I did get to speak to a couple of guys in India in the middle of their night.
    This problem is simple but causes much trouble when printing labels on a label printer.  I'm trying to print a 3 inch wide by 1 inch high label on a spool.  I've done this for years with Crystal 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.  I have thousands of users and I'm telling them all to stay with Crystal 10 or Crystal 11 because you won't fix this problem. 
    I need a fix in the CR 2008 Runtime.
    THE PROBLEM:  If the page size is wider than it is high, CR 2008 forces the Orientation to Landscape even though the report says Portrait.

    I don't believe this is related to the printer driver but I'm using a Datamax E-4203 - Seagull Driver: Datamax DPL Driver Version 7.1.8.  The same driver works fine with Crystal 11 and Crystal 10.
    I'm not sure if this is a Custom Paper size but it is not the default paper for the printer.  I have selected it from about 30 paper sizes that the driver shows (it's in about the middle of the list).  I have never tried to change the paper size in my program  - I always use the default paper that has been set in the driver.
    I don't believe the problem is in my code because your viewer has the same trouble.  The label displays perfectly on the screen but if you hit the print button, it's flipped landscape and prints sideways.
    Ask your developer to look at this code:
    The u201CQueryPageSettingsEventHandleru201D (among others) was added after CR11.5, and it has some code that basically looks for a width > height, and sets the orientation to Landscape. The method u201CQueryPageSettingsu201D is what causes all the headache.
    public static void QueryPageSettings(QueryPageSettingsEventArgs e, PageObject page)
    if (page == null)
    e.Cancel = true;
    else
    e.PageSettings.Landscape = page.PageOrientation == PaperOrientation.Landscape;

  • Different photo file sizes when copied back from external HD

    I backed up some photos to an external HD (80GB, same size as in my iMac at the time), with Mac OS Standard format, under Tiger. The internal HD crashed, taking much unbacked-up data with it to the digital beyond.
    Now with my new Leopard iMac (and wisdom acquired by experience), I have noticed a different file size on the different drives after copying the photos back.
    Other posts have pointed out differences in memory allocation / block size as the culprits, however, can that make the large difference seen in my case?
    Example 1 is a Tiff file of 8.2 MB on the external HD, which shrinks to 6,8 MB when copied to the 500 GB iMac drive (taken from the Get Info window)
    Example 2 is a JPEG which shrinks from 1.2 MB to 552 KB when copied over.
    Examples 1 & 2 also shrank to 6.8 MB and 576 KB respectively when copied from the 80GB external drive to another, 320GB external FAT32 drive.
    So my question is: Am I somehow losing something with the shrinking files? Does memory allocation/block size difference make that big a difference?
    Thanks for your help.

    I think I ought to mention that I also have a new laptop and have experienced file sharing permission issues with some applications. Might this be part of the problem? (Although everything seems to be properly owned!)

  • Photo orientation wrong

    I have a few photos in iPhoto that have orientation problems. When I look at them in my iPhoto library, they are fine and in portrait orientation. But when I work on putting my book together they are incorrectly shown in landscape orientation, Is there a fix for this, or do I have to give up using these pictures in my book?

    If it's only a few you could drag them to the desktop from the thumbnail window while they are correctly oriented. Check with Preview to make sure the new file on the desktop is correctly oriented. Then reimport into iPhoto and use it in the book.

    thank you for your reply
    I have backed up my phone more than once since and it has saved each of those as individual back up versions so it is not the case that it only saves the latest back up
    If the iphone is on a different IOS you'll see it in edit - preference - device - backups.  IF it is on the same IOS it will overwrite the previous backup.

  • Why are some of the photos that I have previously successfully synched to my iPhone, no longer synching?

    I have a folder in iPhoto specifically for photos that I want to sync to my iPhone. This has worked for years and I've never had an issue. Suddenly, some of the photos from this folder are no longer synching, and I receive an error message during synching that reads: "Some of your photos, including the photo “DSC_0022.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “My iPhone 3GS” because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." The same exact thing has started happening when we sync my husband's iPhone 4. These same photos were previously successfully synched to our iPhones, so....what gives? As an experiement, I dragged one of the photos to the desktop, deleted the photo from within iPhoto, then dragged it back into iPhoto. Then, I re-synched. This worked. But, do I now need to do this with every one of these un-synched photos? Does anyone know what's going on here? Very, very weird. It appears to be happening after the most recent iPhone update, I think. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.
